Chapter 643: Undying Star Core…
The Undying Star Core!
That was the next core after the first Desolate Star Core and the Angered God Star Core.
But it was the most complex core that Zeras had ever seen, as his eyebrows knitted tightly for three days straight of reading, yet the information still seemed to elude him.
“I understand the process already, but the points and effects of the star are rather difficult to comprehend.”
According to the manual, what he needed to do was just like what he had formerly done, which was to simply absorb mana into another area in his spinal cord.
But then, the transformation that would result from such was what confused Zeras.
The Nine Star Manual divides each cell present in his body, placing an entire life core within it, so much so every cell is like a living world on its own. It was an explanation effect that Zeras couldn’t wrap his mind around.
What would result in every one of his cells rivaling a miniworld? Would he be able to survive the transformation that is required for such a thing? Besides, that was something that gravely defied the heavenly laws which would make his tribulation more than twice worse than the previous ones he had. That was something he wasn’t really sure he could handle.
“Well, I don’t think I have much choice…” Zeras mused as he raised his head up, seeing the stars that brightly illuminated the sky, some of its rays shining specifically on him.It was a strange effect that he had noticed. Anytime he sits on top of the mountain, the star’s light just seemed to concentrate on him more than normal.
“Let’s begin…” Zeras mused and in the next instant, his eyes were shut close, his heart faintly beating within his chest, and the breeze around the area quieting down all of a sudden.
“Desolate Star Ring! Open…” Zeras commanded followed by the space behind him exploding to bits as a gigantic ring slipped out from the void of space, slowly rotating in the air.
Immediately, the light around Zeras increased by almost double concentrating on his figure, and a golden light appeared from his back, piercing out of his clothes.
Seven hours passed with the ring simply rotating behind Zeras absorbing the starlight, and once more, his lips moved.
“Angered God Star Ring! Open!”
Above the gigantic Desolate Star Ring, another ginormous ring opened up, brimming with a horrific hegemonic and unruly aura.
The space around it repeatedly quivered and splintered, the process ever continuing like the playing of a cracked disk.
Overlapping with the Desolate Star Ring, the absorption force of the rings increased by double as the starlight shone even more brightly, passing their energy into the ring, which automatically got transferred into Zeras’ inner cores.
“Overlapping of life and fate. An aura of desolateness intertwined with an unruly rage of an angered god. To sacrifice every cell for an entire world. The birth of something undying. Ritual of the Undying Sacrifice! Begin!” Zeras uttered, forming various hand seals, and in the next instant, another otherworldly phenomenon appeared in the sect, illuminating the entire Inner Sect area as night was instantly turned to day.
All the stars in a radius of 100 kilometers suddenly gathered together on top of Zeras’ head, before their gentle lights suddenly underwent a massive change, their cores burning furiously before all of their lights were released at once creating a scorching pillar of light that bathed Zeras’ figure.
“As painful as ever…” Zeras mused to himself, even though he remained on his butt cross-legged, and his face was as calm as ever. But the devilish veins all over his face revealed to him there is something more than just him remaining calm.
“It’s always a mystery that has eluded my bearing. Just how? How can it be that the heavens punish me for practicing the cultivation, but even the stars which are my ultimate source of power also try to extinguish me anytime I absorb their power. Shouldn’t they be aiding me?” he asked to himself in anger and deep irritation.
He knew well, once he successfully formed his Undying Star Core, he would be faced with a devastating tribulation that he would barely survive by the skin of his teeth. Yet the stars that he had absorbed, whose power he uses also try to destroy him anytime he absorbed them. The scorching beams of light that covered his ring, though all seemingly looking as if the starlight were blessing him, were nothing more than a façade.
Even with how his two star rings tried to absorb the light at their best ability, their revolving speed right now, causing a light-devouring black hole around him, they still were not able to completely absorb everything and soon, smoke began rising out of Zeras’ body as his skin began melting.
“I still have to wait a little more before using that. Or I’ll really be reduced to nothing if it’s not able to absorb everything…” Zeras mused as he sat down quietly, resisting the feeling of his skin being burned to nothing, but dark steam that got reduced to nothing from the scorching beams of light.
Hours passed, and even though morning came, the stars refused to budge at all, all shining even brighter and brighter with the sound of sizzling getting louder and louder…
Quickly an entire two months passed, with the same phenomenon occurring. Thankfully, very few people were able to witness it as the majority of the students have all left for the God Tower. The only people left remaining were the Elders, who have remained on the top of various mountains silently witnessing the phenomenon that was ongoing.
They could remain like this for 100 years without blinking at all, so it doesn’t seem that much of work for them to wait an entire two months at all.
But after two months, Zeras was also more than ready to finally unleash the technique…
