Chapter 870: Chapter 388: The Star River as a Cage, Midnight Awake, Su Tu’s Shocking Change!

The voice was ethereal, carrying an ancient and aged aura.

"Seventy-two yuan, eight hundred and sixty-four meetings, twenty-five thousand nine hundred and twenty destinies, the final world, the examinee shall fall."

At the instant this voice rang out, Su Tu felt an excruciating headache as if his head was about to split open.

This pain was unlike anything Su Tu had ever experienced before; his body and heart and spirit were filled with intense pain in an instant.

Bean-sized sweat droplets began to seep continuously from his forehead, and in just one breath, Su Tu’s entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.

"What’s happening!"

Su Tu endured the intense pain as if he was on a mountain of knives, stretching out a hand to press against his temple, attempting to suppress himself with fresh strength.

But all this was in vain, this indescribable pain continued to rise higher and higher.

At this moment, Su Tu’s eyes were completely red, with blue veins bulging on his forehead.

Crack, crack, crack!!

Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds rang in Su Tu’s ears. Su Tu couldn’t help but look at his own body, only to see a dense network of cracks begin to spread across it.

However, these cracks were not truly in his physical form, but rather...

Heart and Spirit!!

That’s right, it was the cracks of the true self’s essence, a warning issued by his heart and spirit in such a manner.

If the essence shatters, even immortals cannot save him, leaving only an empty body in the mortal world.

At this moment, Su Tu had never felt so close to death, yet everything came so inexplicably, so abruptly.

All because of that voice that came out of nowhere....A single sentence.

All this was too bizarre, Su Tu could even confirm this wasn’t some kind of attack method but rather an issue within himself caused by that single sentence.

Even if he were to use Nuwa’s Hair, he wouldn’t know where to begin.

Every second felt like a year; at this moment, it truly felt like every second was an eternity. Under the dual pressure of this extreme pain and impending death, Su Tu couldn’t even let out a cry for help.

Whoosh!!

At this time, more cracks began to appear on Su Tu’s body, making him look like a porcelain doll about to shatter.

The divine beings within his True Self world sensed something amiss, Xue Yue roared, White Tiger bellowed, but they were all suppressed by some kind of power. Even little Xue Yue, who could step into the mortal world, could not affect the outside in the slightest.

This deadlock, it seemed... was already set.

"What exactly is happening, time, I need time to break this!"

Su Tu roared internally, everything happened so suddenly, so strangely, he simply had no time to figure out why all this was happening.

He needed time, but now he had none.

Watching the cracks on his True Self Dharma Aspect grow more numerous and nearly collapse.

"I can only... take a gamble!"

"Wei!!!"

Su Tu let out a roar in his heart.

The next moment.

Buzz!!!

Su Tu felt himself and everything around him begin to disconnect, the collapsing True Self began to halt.

In an instant, he arrived in an endless Star River.

The beautiful Valkyrie stood upon the Star River, proud and solitary, her brilliance outshining the myriad of stars.

"You haven’t been here for a long time, this is your ninth opportunity, if you fail this time, you only have one left."

The Valkyrie spoke mildly.

She gazed at Su Tu, her eyes revealing a moment of surprise.

"Are you injured?"

In Wei’s eyes, was reflected Su Tu’s body covered in cracks.

And as Su Tu looked at his own body, feeling the cessation of its fracturing, he knew he had gambled correctly.

He had an agreement with Wei, giving him ten opportunities to challenge her. If he could defeat Wei even once, she would provide him with methods beyond rank restrictions.

Su Tu used the previous challenges to madly improve his Skill Level in Celestial Martial, but later, the skill level Wei could enhance diminished.

In order to win that method, Su Tu began to slow down his challenge speed, leaving two opportunities to come when he had absolute certainty.

However, what had just occurred was too dangerous and abrupt; Su Tu needed time to think of a way to break the deadlock.

Each time Su Tu entered this space to challenge Wei, it was with his True Self Dharma Aspect; therefore, he was gambling that the collapse would not continue in this special space.

And now, seeing the stop of spreading cracks on his body, Su Tu knew he had gambled correctly.

"Wei, I’m sorry, I probably can’t challenge you this time. Can I stay here a while longer? I now need to find a way to stop my True Self from fracturing."

"Otherwise, I will..."

Su Tu extended a hand and made a slicing motion across his neck.

"You can, but this still counts as one opportunity," Wei nodded.

"Okay, no problem."

Su Tu quickly agreed, then began to examine the cracks on his body more closely; these cracks directly originated from his True Self.

All of this was caused by that mysterious voice.

He was currently in the Ancestor Hall; if the Subspace Evil God wanted to harm him, they wouldn’t need to go to so much trouble, thus ruling them out.

But anyone who could act against him in the Ancestor Hall, yet evade the perception of those three, could only likely be a divine being.

However, at present, the gods had not yet returned, and the Subspace Evil Gods were unable to escape their shackles.

What kind of existence could act, causing him to fall into such a state?

Unless...

"Unless they never acted against me, just that what they spoke had issues!"

"What they spoke made it unbearable for my True Self Dharma Aspect!"
