“His practice, it’s forbidden, isn’t it?” Grand Elder Lionheart asked as he looked at the far pillar of scorching beams of light in the distance.
“Forcibly repenting the orders of night and day, tweaking apart heavenly rules. Not even us dared to do such things even though we have the power. That’s no doubt him going against heavenly rules,” Grand Elder Swordsworth said with creased eyebrows as he looked in the same direction as Grand Elder Lionheart.
“Yet, do you notice, the heavens’ reproaching wrath has not come yet to claim him?”
“I’m pretty sure the heavens are waiting for him to finish whatever he is doing, then he will be made an example to everyone,” Grand Elder Swordsworth replied to him, as the rest remained silent, choosing to simply observe.
It was the path they had chosen. Having the power but daring not to go against heavenly rules. They simply sit and observe every other phenomenon.

His skin had been peeled off, leaving nothing but a bony image. His eyes had been burnt off, his hair reduced to nothing.
He looked no different from a skeleton if not for the various runes that were etched directly into his bones and the fact that his spine was lighting up with an otherworldly light—a blinding light that could almost rival the beam of the starlight piercing him from above.
“Ahhhhh, this should be enough…” Zeras mused to himself, seeing the scorching pillars are at their highest point, thinking they would wipe him out easily now.But unfortunately, they had still underestimated Zeras, who immediately called forth his ultimate trump card.
Something that has succeeded in helping him slap the face of the heavens twice now.
“Conglomeration of soul stars. Open!” Zeras ordered and in the next second…
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
A pillar of light soared out from Zeras’ bony figure, colliding head-on with the piercing beams of light that were being released.
Yet, instead of a devastating explosion, what resulted was the phenomenon of light getting absorbed by light.
The pillar of light that Zeras released from his body immediately absorbed every single light that was being sent by the various stars.
Immediately, Zeras’ spinal core lit up with an incredibly bright light, with the thousands of runes on his body also lighting up brilliantly, each runic space turning into a shocking absorption vortex that absorbed the various light directly into themselves.
Immediately, a strange phenomenon of starlight getting absorbed completely began taking place as all the cores of the various starlight were immediately all absorbed by the soul stars on Zeras, with tens of his soul stars also lighting up.
With those set up, Zeras could feel his Undying Core also getting completed, but what followed was the core suddenly changing up the composition of the starlight that has been absorbed into him before passing it back into him.
What followed was a mouth-widening transformation as new muscles appeared, new cells growing up, his hair growing back up, and his burnt eyes once more being made. What was different was the fact that now instead of two, a simple star extra dot could be seen in his pupils, revolving around the large two and also lighting up with every passing second.
“It’s starting, the creation of the world within every cell…” Zeras mused to himself as he dived his consciousness deep within him, witnessing the transformation that was ongoing. Every minute fiber of muscles, every piece of flesh. Everything becoming replaced by simple minute stars appearing within each of them.
What resulted to Zeras in turn was the feeling of absolute power.
“Every cell an entire world. The true creation of an entity undying. Now I understand the power of the Undying Core star body. It’s a body of absolute defense. Every attack that is sent to me can simply be sent into a single one of my cell worlds.
An attack that should have been enough to take away my entire arm can simply be transferred into the world in a cell, making me only destroy a single cell instead of myself.
I would still have other cells as many as the number of cells within me.
This is almost like possessing hundreds of lives!” Zeras mused out loud in shock.
That was essentially the main point of the Undying Star Core. It creates miniworlds within the user’s cells. Every attack to the user which is capable of wiping out the user out of existence will simply be transferred into a cell, and only a single cell within him would be harmed.
It was like being granted hundreds of lives, as his defense against any form of attack is bolstered up by hundreds of times.
Another two weeks passed, with Zeras’ conglomeration of soul stars absorbing every single beam of energy present within the stars until entire hundreds of stars were completely absorbed into Zeras’ body.
“Undying Star Ring! Open!!!” The voice whispered through the entire world which suddenly quieted down, all noise seemingly having been sucked into a vacuum. The gentle breeze blowing at the top of the mountain halted and the blowing grasses also stopped their rhythm.
Following that was an otherworldly ring, brimming with an unbelievable amount of energy. It circled the Angered God Star Ring, holding it in place, while a new set of runes appeared over Zeras’ skin, seemingly possessing no destructive aura at all, yet the runes gave Zeras some sort of supreme confidence.
A confidence that says no matter the attack, it would be nothing but a mere slap to him.
“Finally, finally! I formed the third star core! I formed the third star core!” Zeras roared out in joy as he collapsed on both knees.
Never had he been this joyful before, for Zeras knew one truth about his strength now, and that was that he had reached the footsteps of the Undying Realm.
All that remained for him was to simply pass what was currently brewing above his head, brimming with world-ending power.
“Heavenly Punishment…”
