Chapter 2228: Chapter 1229: The Road to the Ink Sea, Paved with Blood and Bones
Star travel is both dangerous and boring.
Encountering an event like the Black Sun remnants along the way added quite a bit of interest to Su Lin and his group’s journey.
A Level 5 Early Stage stellar system was swiftly harvested clean by the Heavenly Pride Forbidden Army.
Even the Will of Heaven and Earth and Constant Star Power were harvested.
The Light Slayer Beast even transformed this Sin Star System into a Blood Refining Array.
The Blood Refining Array can refine all species, military forces, and even mountains and star bodies within its range, making it quite a formidable heavy weapon.
Even “Nightmare” once possessed a Blood Refining Array.
During the harvesting, hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of years later, the Wolf Pack Civilization embarked on star travel again.
As for the Sin Star Origin discovered by the Merciful National Master, Su Lin suppressed the news.
As his power grew stronger, he increasingly felt that the so-called subversives were not about shaking the rules of the Starry Sky Will.
Instead, they had freed themselves from the control of the Starry Sky Will.
Nowadays, the Sin Star Origin also freed itself from the control of the Starry Sky Will.
That’s why Su Lin completely sealed the information, even using Thought Ash from the Six Ashes!
In a single thought, he erased all traces related to the Sin Star Origin, much like how the Peng Emperor erased his own revival traces.
This is an extremely powerful Ancient Heaven Realm Secret Technique!
Not only can it erase traces, but it can also ignite the divine sense of opponents, severely damaging their divine soul and breaking their will.
The pain of divine sense burning can rival the pain of soul scalding!
It can even be used in battle to blur the memory of opponents, affecting their proficiency in Great Slaughter Techniques, etc.
One could say that the Ancient Heaven Realm Secret Technique passed to him by the Peng Emperor is more formidable than his existing talent secret techniques.
However, it involves deep Ancient Heaven Realm cause and effect that Su Lin would rather not use unless necessary.
Because he didn’t know when the Starry Sky Will might notice him.
But Su Lin knew clearly that many things he possessed would absolutely not be tolerated by the Starry Sky Will and orthodox forces.
After erasing the Sin Star Origin Imprint, Su Lin naturally traced back to the source to revive and soul search the Black Sun Emperor’s son.
The Black Sun Emperor’s son was thoroughly obliterated, causing rules to tremble.
If more time had passed, even Su Lin would have had to traverse back through the Space-Time River to conduct the soul search.
Fortunately, the time since his fall was not long, allowing Su Lin to forcibly revive him using his residual secret techniques and Heavenly Boundary Mark.
However, during the soul search, he discovered that the inheritance in the Black Sun Emperor’s son’s divine soul was incomplete, as he had inscribed a restriction that would self-destruct if soul searched.
Such a method is commonly used by ruthless characters.
Because no one wants their divine soul’s content to aid enemies.
This forced Su Lin to crush him again.
Though the soul search obtained some inheritance, along with collected replicas from the Sin Star, and Su Lin, the Merciful One, and the Illusion God deduced seven or eight-tenths of it.
“A genius! After thoroughly understanding the Sin Star mechanism, they imprinted this mechanism on the source of a First Level Life Planet, as it wouldn’t be monitored without a Starry Sky Seal.
In countless ages that followed, the altered planet would execute the Sin Star mechanism, but during advancement, it wouldn’t face the Starry Sky Will’s test. As long as the foundation was solid, it could advance risk-free.
Yet, the overall process is known, but how the Sin Star mechanism transforms a planet’s origin into Sin Star Origin remains a mystery.”
After the Space-Time Altar set off again,
the Illusion God, at the center, pondered over this inheritance and finally transmitted this spiritual will.
“Indeed, it is fundamental. Without it, everything is theoretical! I wonder if there is such a record among the Heavenly Destiny Clan?”
The Merciful National Master also came to the center, looking at the Illusion God.
Because undoubtedly, in the entire Wolf Pack Civilization, only the Illusion God hailed from a Star Sky Great Clan.
But the Illusion God shook his head: “I only studied each clan’s ultimate secret techniques and never delved into this area. But I think there is, because I vaguely remember that the Heavenly Clan seemed to have such a subordinate planet. It wasn’t a Sin Star though, but was named Heavenly Star!”
The Illusion God’s spiritual will made Su Lin and Chi Hun’s eyes flash with a glint.
Because this implies that many top-tier Star Sky Great Clans also grasped similar methods, albeit in different forms.
It shows that even the Heavenly Clan wouldn’t entrust their fate entirely to the Starry Sky Will’s control.
“Yes, let the Wolf Pack’s research line divide some efforts to the Sea of Star Sand to exclusively deduce this process. If successful, it could indeed become a brand-new trump card for our Wolf Pack Civilization.”
“Yes!”
“As you command!”
Both the Merciful National Master and the Illusion God accepted the command together!
Next,
the top-tier Space-Time Altar of the Wolf Pack Civilization once again traversed the starry sky at over tenfold the speed of light.
During this time, Long Baiyu and the Light Slayer Beast acted as scouts to explore ahead.
After all, even a top-tier Space-Time Altar can only travel at tenfold the speed of light, unable to match the full speed of Peak Heavenly Venerates and Half-Step Taboos.
However, this round of harvesting made the previously lifeless Heavenly Pride Guards become more enthusiastic and proactive.
To avoid unnecessary complications during the journey, Su Lin only chose some unspoken, scattered stars to harvest.
This diversion was merely a distraction in the star travel for Su Lin’s group, but it was an apocalypse for the inhabitants of these scattered stars.
The Heavenly Pride Guards naturally became one awe-inspiring demon after another.
Yet in this dark starry sky, weakness is the original sin!
Good and evil crumble before the strong and weak!
And in the blink of an eye, more than five hundred thousand years had passed, and the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain could be clearly felt!
However, along the way, the path had become fraught with peril.
Because the passage to the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain had been opened, the news of attempting to ascend the Star Road had long been heard by many surrounding forces and established factions.
This caused many formidable experts to gather around the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain.
Among them were strong individuals of half-step taboo and quasi-taboo.
As for taboo existences, even across the entire starry sky, they remain among the top tier, and such beings have directly rushed into the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Pride Guards had begun to suffer casualties.
There once was a master of disguise and breath concealment, a late-stage half-step taboo, who had infiltrated the Heavenly Pride Guards.
His mastery of disguise and breath concealment had reached the level of forbidden secret techniques, making him one of the most outstanding among late-stage half-step taboo individuals.
This led to many of the outermost Heavenly Pride Guards falling victim to his treachery.
If it weren’t for Su Lin sensing the anomaly and identifying the infiltrator through the battle flag of the Heavenly Pride Guards, who knows how many more he would have slaughtered.
Even Long Baiyu narrowly escaped his grasp.
Apart from this, the Light Slayer Beast encountered an extremely formidable opponent while approaching the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain.
It was an unknown Ant Clan member!
Logically, the Ant Clan belongs to the Insect Clan category, and individual combat power is inferior to other species of the same level.
Yet this Ant Clan individual did not conform to this standard; he had already transcended the limitations of the Star Sky Insect Clan.
He was also in the late stage of half-step taboo, but his strength was absurdly immense, destroying the Light Slayer Beast’s body three times in merely a hundred moves.
If not for the intervention of the Radiant Sun Princess, who responded just in time to provide assistance, the Light Slayer Beast might have been taken as blood food.
Even with the Radiant Sun Princess’s direct involvement, the Ant Clan member withstood three strikes before being subdued.
Ultimately, through the influence of “love,” this Golden Ant agreed to serve the Wolf Civilization for ten billion years, placed under the command of the Radiant Sun Princess.
In such thrilling circumstances, Su Lin’s group grew increasingly composed, shedding the excitement of previously eradicating Black Sun remnants.
As they drew nearer to the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain, the adversaries encountered became increasingly formidable, and the roles of prey and reaper grew uncertain.
“This last stretch feels so difficult to traverse; how many years have we been traveling? Are we almost there?”
By now, through fifty thousand years of starry sky expeditions, Long Baiyu too had matured considerably.
Previously, having only cultivated in seclusion in Dragon Country, he had never witnessed such brutality and bloodshed.
Here, even beings like the Light Slayer Beast might meet their end.
However, over these fifty thousand years, he refined himself further, reaching the mid-Ten Heavens.
“Almost there, I think.”
As the vanguard scout, the Light Slayer Beast also spoke with a deep voice.
After that perilous encounter, the Light Slayer Beast became more reserved but also more focused on enhancing its strength.
Currently, it was nearing the half-step forbidden peak.
Upon reaching the half-step forbidden peak, in the nebula, it could barely be considered a chess player.
After all, many strong Nebula Lords of the past were merely at this level of power.
“Alert!”
Suddenly, the Light Slayer Beast detected a formidable aura, prompting it to immediately mobilize all its combat power.
Upon following its gaze, it discovered an enormous skeleton.
This skeleton had lost all soul spirit and origin support, even its essence blood, leaving only some lingering aura from life.
“The Heaven-Burning Golden Falcon’s Seventh Young Master slaughtered the Twelve-tailed Demon Fox here!”
Amid the bones was a terrifying pattern of golden fire rules and soul pattern.
“The Heaven-Burning Golden Falcon, this seems to be from a Great Unified Nebula Dominator Clan we passed by! The Twelve-tailed Demon Fox is unfamiliar, but it appears they had a blood feud between the two clans. The lingering aura of this Twelve-tailed Demon Fox’s skeleton has also reached the quasi-taboo level!”
The Light Slayer Beast looked at the skeleton but refrained from touching it and continued scouting ahead.
Because it had the rules of the Heaven-Burning Golden Falcon’s Seventh Young Master on it, touching it would entail getting entangled in cause and effect.
Otherwise, a quasi-taboo skeleton would not remain here for so long without being claimed.
It could be said that even before reaching the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain, beings like the Light Slayer Beast, still within the half-step taboo category, felt an overwhelming desolation.
The path was strewn with piles of blood and bones.
The path to the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain had only just been opened, and so many powerful beings had already perished along the way!
They fell and died on the journey, never even glimpsing the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain.
“With the bones of great endeavors paving the way, how many prodigies have returned through the ages? It seems many strong beings have long been stalled at the checkpoints, coming forward whenever there’s a glimmer of hope, because in this Dark Starry Sky, strength is paramount!”
Having matured and grown steady, Long Baiyu felt the poignancy of the scene.
They continued their journey ahead.
Though Long Baiyu and the Light Slayer Beast were small, the top-tier Space-Time Altar behind them granted them immense confidence.
Journeying onward, another 30,000 years passed.
During this time, Long Baiyu and the Light Slayer Beast several times narrowly escaped death, saved repeatedly by the actions of the Ancient Giant Turtle, the Serpent Emperor, and the Radiant Sun Princess.
Finally, they were replaced, with the Ancient Giant Turtle scouting ahead instead.
Its defense was said to be heaven-defying, often leaving taboo existences helpless against it.
But it was after the Ancient Giant Turtle took over that the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain suddenly radiated and shone, like a vast whirlpool spinning in the vast starry sky!
This pinpointed the exact position of the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain for all exotic beasts and strong beings along the route, halting their ambushes and skirmishes, as they all rushed toward the Ink Sea Forbidden Domain at their fastest speed.
