Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2070: Chapter 890: Star Ruins Reincarnation: Star Calamity

Above the boundary sky of the Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island, the Commander Kongyuan Emperor and Vice Marshal Chiyang Emperor, along with the Emperors and True Monarchs belonging to the Tongxuan Battle Zone, quietly waited in the realm sky.

Counting the Commander Kongyuan Emperor, there were a total of thirteen Emperors, the apparent number of Emperors in the Star Ruins Tongxuan Battle Zone.

The Star Ruins is the main battlefield, where wars are frequent, almost every month seeing large-scale battles involving Emperors.

In comparison, although the Tongxuan Domain in the Star River World occasionally has conflicts, the war pressure is much less.

This is why two-thirds of the main force, including Emperors and True Monarchs, are stationed in the Star Ruins Battle Zone.

Besides, if Emperor-level experts wish to reside long-term in the Star River World, they need to be in a Great World, but Great Worlds are extremely rare, so Emperors can only stay in larger Domain Realms.

However, cultivation in a Domain Realm is shared by many, inevitably inferior to solitary cultivation, and it is difficult to obtain the Heaven and Earth Authority of a Domain Realm.

This is why many experts, even if they tread the Emperor Path, still prefer remaining in the Star Ruins, where at least there are many Star Islands for residence.

Although dangerous, it’s better than becoming the most pitiable Wuzhi Emperor in the Star River.

At this moment, even the Emperors were somewhat surprised.

The formation in front of them was definitely not for battle.

A battle wouldn’t be conducted this way.

It was more like a welcome.

But even if welcoming Emperor Dongxuan, such a formation would be used.

But the problem is that welcoming Emperor Dongxuan does not require coming to the realm boundary.

Even if other battle zone commanders came, they wouldn’t receive this specification.

Only if it were a supreme ruler from another battle zone would this specification apply.

For instance, the Alliance Leader of the Thousand Star Alliance or the ruler of the Red Simurgh Domain or Qingyu Domain.

But why would they come here?

Even if these figures came, this level of courtesy shouldn’t apply, which should be at least halved compared to welcoming Emperor Dongxuan.

In their surprise, the Emperors exchanged through Divine Soul Transmission, gradually uncovering the truth!

The only ones deserving such specifications are those from the Daluo Ancestral Court!

And not the Inspection Heavenly Official from the Daluo Ancestral Court!

The arrival is likely from the true high-level of the Daluo Ancestral Court!

As the Emperors privately transmitted discussions, even forming groups to discuss, suddenly, Kongyuan Emperor glanced back, and with just one look, silence ensued.

This silence was the true silence from inside out, even the Divine Soul Transmissions stopped.

After a moment, a point of starlight suddenly appeared above the Star Island realm.

Like a seed sprouting, very weak at first.

But at the moment of appearance, it suddenly grew from weak to strong.

As the starlight blossomed, four figures simultaneously stepped out from the spatial movement fluctuations.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with purple eyebrows, and as he stepped out, with just a glance at those welcoming him, a majestic aura as heavy as a mountain and as unfathomable as a prison swept toward these Emperors and True Monarchs like a storm.

The high-tier True Monarchs immediately lowered their heads, relinquishing eye contact.

In the moment of lowering their heads, the pressure dissipated.

Among the thirteen Emperor-level experts, ten could only maintain eye contact for half a breath before being unable to withstand, voluntarily lowering their heads to avoid the terrifying pressure.

In the silent gaze, Vice Marshal Chiyang Emperor could only withstand four breaths before struggling and reluctantly averting his glow.

Only Kongyuan Emperor remained calmly gazing at the purple-browed middle-aged man.

Ten breaths, twenty breaths!

After thirty breaths, the purple-browed middle-aged man finally withdrew the pressure followed by his gaze.

At the same time, only then did Kongyuan Emperor calmly arch his hand, declaring, "The Commander of the Tongxuan Battle Zone and all officers welcome the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official!"

"We pay respects to the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official!" The True Monarchs and Emperors simultaneously paid their respects.

Seeing this, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official casually waved his hand: "No need for formalities, I only came under the command of the Daluo Heavenly Venerate, to issue a warning and deliver orders."

Hearing this, Kongyuan Emperor was taken aback, delivering orders, that part he knew.

The Tongxuan Domain Lord is Emperor Dongxuan, but he’s governed by the Daluo Ancestral Court.

The internal affairs of the Tongxuan Domain are generally not managed by the Daluo Ancestral Court.

But occasionally orders are transmitted, if the Tongxuan Domain disobeys, it will face drastic changes.

This is the rule forged through countless years of bloody history.

That’s why, once the Daluo Ancestral Court’s imperial mandate was received, Kongyuan Emperor informed Emperor Dongxuan immediately, then came out.

"A warning? Could I ask....."

"Kongyuan, let’s discuss it in your Commander Mansion!"

"Oh, please, Heavenly Official."

In an instant, the True Monarchs and Emperors simultaneously parted to both sides, allowing the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official and Kongyuan Emperor to proceed together.

"Kongyuan, although you haven’t achieved the Venerable Position, your cultivation level has steadily increased over the years!" On the way, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official casually chatted with Kongyuan Emperor.

The two could be considered acquaintances.

Though the Daluo Ancestral Court’s Heavenly Officials seldom visit the battle zones, they visit at least once every sixty years.

Having long been in charge of the Tongxuan Battle Zone, Kongyuan Emperor naturally became familiar.

"Here, crises lurk everywhere; peaceful nights are scarce, making cultivation growth inevitable." Kongyuan Emperor laughed.

"Haha!"

Purple Extreme Heavenly Official smiled and said no more.

However, the Vice Marshal, Emperor Chiyang, standing by his side, took a deeper look at Emperor Kongyuan, his eyes secretly solemn.

He had always thought that Emperor Kongyuan’s cultivation level was higher than his own as Vice Marshal, which he acknowledged.

But he believed the difference wasn’t that significant.

Today’s encounter in welcoming the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official proved that Emperor Kongyuan was much stronger than him.

"And also, this Purple Extreme Heavenly Official mentioned that Kongyuan hadn’t confirmed the Venerable Position, yet his cultivation level kept increasing! Purple Extreme Heavenly Official, also an Emperor Venerable Strong Person who confirmed the Venerable Position, his judgment should be correct.

This matter needs to be reported to my master.

I’m not sure if the master has noticed." Emperor Chiyang had already formed an idea in his mind.

Due to the welcoming, everyone was flying not too fast.

Fifteen minutes later, a group of True Monarchs and Emperors escorted Purple Extreme Heavenly Official into the Star Island Commander Mansion of the Tongxuan Battle Zone like stars surrounding the moon.

Upon reaching the Commander Mansion’s hall, the True Monarchs stopped outside, as with Purple Extreme Heavenly Official present, they were granted the qualification to enter the Commander Mansion’s hall.

At this moment, in the void above Tongxuan Star Island, Thunder Light suddenly flashed, and the figure of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment appeared above the Star Island Commander Mansion.

The Purple Extreme Heavenly Official, just about to enter the hall, suddenly turned around and looked towards the sky.

Just emerging from the resonation of the Thunder Element Origin Dao, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was startled but then rushed to the ground and bowed deeply towards the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official, "This junior was late for the reception, I beg the Heavenly Official’s pardon."

"Sudden events are forgivable, rise!" Purple Extreme Heavenly Official smiled, "Heavenly Punishment, why haven’t you stepped onto the Emperor’s Path yet!

Last time I saw you, weren’t you almost there?"

The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment showed an embarrassed expression, "Heavenly Official, this junior is dull, still working hard!"

Hearing this, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official examined the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment up and down, giving him the feeling of being completely seen through, as if he was wearing no clothes.

"You’re beyond Nine Tribulations, right? Ten Tribulations or Eleven Tribulations?

Could it be you want to step onto the Emperor’s Path with a Twelve Tribulations true form?" Purple Extreme Heavenly Official smiled.

Upon these words, the gaze towards the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment from the other Emperors and True Monarchs changed.

Nine Tribulations Perfection and forging a Twelve Tribulations true form before stepping onto the Emperor’s Path are completely different.

After forging a Twelve Tribulations true form and stepping onto the Emperor’s Path, one breakthroughs to become a strong person among Emperors.

The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was somewhat depressed, not expecting his secret to be so easily revealed by the person in front of him.

Though depressed, he dared not show the slightest trace of anger, only forced to smile and said, "This junior loves perfection, always aiming for the extreme." This was an indirect admission.

"Good thought! But for us cultivators, opportunities are also very important.

With great changes looming, ascending the Emperor’s Path might bring greater gains."

After speaking, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official turned and entered the Commander Hall.

Only at this moment did the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment turn and salute Emperor Kongyuan, Emperor Chiyang, and the others one by one.

Everyone naturally returned the salute!

The Emperor’s Close Minister is one such position, but the Limit-breaking True Monarch is another.

The Limit-breaking True Monarch possesses combat power far exceeding the Nine Tribulations True Monarch, already equivalent to an Emperor strong person.

Subsequently, Emperor Kongyuan and Emperor Chiyang led a group of Emperors into the Commander Hall, with the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment entering last, while the other True Monarchs could only wait outside the hall.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this seat was ordered to come and relay the Daluo Heavenly Venerate’s holy decree as a warning!"

Once seated, Purple Extreme Heavenly Official went straight to the point, making the Emperors and the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment immediately solemn, standing with respect and listening attentively.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, listen, this is the holy decree of the Heavenly Venerate." As he spoke, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Official took out a palm-sized decree, and at the instant it was activated by Star Power, an incomparably grand voice immediately echoed in everyone’s mind.

Including the True Monarchs waiting outside the hall.

Yet inside and outside the hall, there was no sound at all.

[In my session of enlightenment today, I suddenly felt a premonition and discovered anomalies in the Star Abyss, much resembling the Star Catastrophe two thousand years ago. Out of compassion for all beings’ struggles, I have specifically commanded Purple Extreme to carry the Inspection Heavenly Official to warn you all!

Leave the Inspection Heavenly Official to assist you, hoping you can quell the Star Catastrophe soon and overcome this tribulation.]

The moment this voice echoed in everyone’s mind, the faces of all present, Emperors, True Monarchs, including Emperor Kongyuan and Emperor Chiyang, changed dramatically.

Especially the True Monarchs outside the hall who knew some secrets, their faces turned deathly pale!

The Star Catastrophe from two thousand years ago is known by many veteran True Monarchs.

When that Star Catastrophe occurred, it was said that True Monarchs’ corpses were scattered across the Star Ruins, Emperors’ blood spilled across the sky, Star Lords turned to ash, and a great many Star Islands were shattered, a calamity indeed!

And the rise of Emperor Dongxuan of the Tongxuan Domain happened during that time.

Precisely, Emperor Dongxuan of that time rose rapidly in the late period of the Star Catastrophe, and later the Tongxuan Domain was established!

Now, the Star Ruins cycle!

Is it their turn again?

It’s only been two thousand years!

Silence!

After a deathly silence, Emperor Kongyuan spoke for the first time, "May I ask the Heavenly Official, when will the Star Catastrophe arrive?"

"This, I do not know; the Heavenly Venerate did not say. He only instructed us to come and warn you to prepare early, and to leave an Inspection Heavenly Official for contact and emergency response!

The Heavenly Venerate, who contemplates all phenomena of the Star Universe and is compassionate, will naturally warn you at the first opportunity if he discovers anything." Purple Extreme Heavenly Official said.

"May I ask the Heavenly Official, regarding the upcoming Star Catastrophe, did the Heavenly Venerate suggest any countermeasures?"

"The countermeasure is quite simple, to actively prepare for battle and enhance strength is the best strategy, especially for top-tier experts!"

"Understood, Kongyuan accepts the orders!"
