Chapter 404 - 404 Star Tempering
404 Star Tempering
The starlight was bright and dazzling.
The starry sky dragon that the skeleton general had mentioned had descended into the universe. It was extremely huge and was tens of thousands of feet long. When it was coiled up, it was as huge as a planet.
Its body was half-transparent, hiding the universe. The stars were shining brightly as if a heavenly river was flowing in its body. Its horn was crystal clear and sparkled with starlight. It was filled with mysterious and powerful brilliance.
The skeleton general was 100,000 meters away from it, but he could already feel the terrifying power that it was emitting.
“You… Didn’t you die three years ago?”
The skeleton general wanted to question it sternly, but his voice trembled as soon as he spoke.
“Retreat!”
The starry sky dragon’s comet-like eyes shone with a cold light, and it let out an extremely majestic voice.
The divine souls of the skeleton army were all frightened, and their knees could not help but go soft.
Suddenly, he laughed out loud, and his voice was extremely crazy!
“Starry sky dragon, I understand! Even if you’re not at the end of your life, you’re not far from that moment! Today, we’ll return to the land!” the skeleton general shouted, and tens of thousands of warships fired at the same time!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Countless cannonballs fell like raindrops, hitting the starry sky dragon’s huge body, creating brilliant sparks. The dragon’s body was as solid as a rock, and its defensive power was astonishing. After a round of cannon fire, there was not a single wound on its body!
The dragon’s tail flicked, turning this star domain upside down. The planet shattered and the void trembled.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Thousands of battleships began to fall apart and shatter under its tail which was as hard as divine metal.
Countless skeleton warriors turned into dust and floated in the universe.
The skeleton general was shocked. He had underestimated the starry sky dragon’s combat ability.
“Do you want me to repeat myself?” The majestic voice of the starry sky dragon resounded throughout the universe.
The skeleton general’s demonic eyes were red, and his voice was filled with hatred.
“Alright, starry sky dragon! The Lord is about to recover. If you have the guts, you can live until then!”
He waved his ghastly white skeletal hand and said, “Retreat!”
A void gate opened, and the remaining warship entered. Before the skeleton general retreated, it tilted his head and made a throat-cutting gesture at the starry sky dragon.
The starry sky dragon’s eyes were fixed in the direction where the skeleton army had gone.
After an unknown period, the starry sky dragon finally moved. Its head slowly lowered, and its gaze extended for tens of thousands of miles.
A broken boat lay in the middle of the space. Chu Yan, Li Tiansheng, and the others fell unconscious on the remaining wooden boards.
With a sweep of the dragon’s tail, Chu Yan and the others disappeared.
It looked down for tens of thousands of meters and saw the unconscious Wang Zining floating in the lonely universe. Sighing slightly, the starry sky dragon used the power of the stars to capture her.
“Senior…”
Lu Benwei’s voice was like a drop in the ocean in front of the starry sky dragon.
The starry sky dragon pondered for a long time before responding, “Do you know who the skeleton army is?”
The starry sky dragon’s voice was like the voice of the old man who helped Lu Benwei and the others embark on the path of the stars. To be precise, the old man was the starry sky dragon.
“I don’t know.” Lu Benwei shook his head.
“Then do you know where monsters come from?” the starry sky dragon asked again.
Lu Benwei thought for a while and said, “It’s from the depths of the starry sky.”
The starry sky dragon’s head moved slightly. Then, it took a deep breath and said, “These skeletons are the remains of human beings who went to the universe to fight against monsters in the early years. They were formed from their resentment after their failure!”
“What?”
Lu Benwei was very shocked by this revelation! He had never expected that the skeletons that died under his fists were senior hunters from ancient times.
A sense of sadness and self-blame rose from the bottom of his heart, and Lu Benwei’s expression became very complicated.
“Senior, who is the enemy in the depths of the starry sky? Why are we the only ones making such a big fuss?” Lu Benwei asked in confusion.
“It’s the ancestral king,” the starry sky dragon said lightly, but it made Lu Benwei’s heart tremble.
“The ancestral king of the monster clan is in the depths of the starry sky?”
The starry sky dragon did not answer. Instead, he said, “Lu Benwei, you’re excellent, but not enough.”
Lu Benwei was even more confused.
The starry sky dragon was not complimenting him. It was more like a farewell.
“I don’t have much time left, and neither do you.”
Lu Benwei recalled the conversation between the starry sky dragon and the skeleton general and gradually understood what the dragon meant.
“Senior, are you going to leave? You’re so powerful, but will your lifespan also end?”
The starry sky dragon laughed and revealed a faint smile. “Child, there’s no living thing in this world that can live forever and never die.”
Lu Benwei was stunned as if all his thoughts had been seen through by the starry sky dragon.
“I don’t have much time left. Once I die, they will come back again. The monsters on land are starting to stir. We really don’t have much time left,” the starry sky dragon said earnestly.
“You’re still a distance away from level 50. Let me give you a hand!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the stars in the star field began to burn, shooting out endless starlight! It was dazzling.
Lu Benwei understood his meaning and sat cross-legged in the air, starting to break through the level 50 barrier with the starry sky dragon!
...
The power of light and the power of darkness led the infinite star power into Lu Benwei’s body.
The universe was resplendent, with countless stars.
In just a few short breaths, endless star power poured into Lu Benwei’s body. Every blood vessel and every cell was crazily absorbing the endless power of starlight.
Level 50 was a huge milestone for hunters. There was a saying in the inner realm that after level 50, a strong person would be born.
There was also another sentence. The difficulty of rising from level 49 to 50 was like a carp leaping through the dragon gate! To be specific, it was equivalent to walking the path from level one to level 49 again.
At this time, although Lu Benwei looked relaxed, he was like a carp that had just swum to the dragon gate.
“Ya!” Lu Benwei let out a strange roar, and his abdomen actually swelled into a balloon.
The star power in Lu Benwei’s body was violent, and so was the star power outside. The star power was violent and constantly surging in his body. If he was an ordinary person, he would have exploded and died.
However, Lu Benwei continued to operate his Nine Tribulations Regeneration Technique to repair his body while greedily absorbing the star power. The broken cells were broken and repaired, and they broke again and again.
The starry sky old Dragon outside was very shocked!
“This kid is using the power of stars to temper his body?!”
