Chapter 1022 Stealing The Gate To The Starry Sea!

The entirely unexpected escape of the Yellow Plains Dragon King made the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Zhujian Grand Sage and the others a little awkward.

This was especially so for the Zhujian Grand Sage as a chill ran down his spine.

Of all the powerful demons on scene, the Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage were both under the wing of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and would definitely help each other. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was also irrevocably the most powerful demon.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was all by himself. The Sirius Grand Sage was blinded in one eye by Lin Feng, and it wasn’t just as simple as losing one eye. His true form and even his demonic soul was damaged, and he was now hiding away inside the Barren Expanses to recuperate so only he was the only one left inside the Starry Sea.

There was no doubt that following the departure of the Yellow Plains Dragon King, the Zhujian Grand Sage was the weakest.

However, the target chosen by Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man was completely outside of their expectations. They decided against the weakest Zhujian Grand Sage, and chose the most powerful Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage instead!

The group of powerful demons were not sure what to think.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was infuriated as he felt a sense of humiliation.

Still, the fury lasted only a second as he quickly realized what was going on. "They’re not going for the star skulls of the Star Tomb, and neither are they looking to hurt us – they are going for the gates to the Starry Sea!"

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was a Vipralopa Stage great demon, and also the tribe leader of the Ancient Ape Demons. He was very powerful, and he was also the number-one figure of the ape demons and therefore the gate to the Starry Sea that belonged to the ape demons was naturally under his personal control.

The remaining light spheres inside the great hall of the Star Tomb worked together to open it, but these light spheres weren’t the original entities of the gates to the Starry Seas. They were projections conjured by their demonic powers to draw upon the power of the gate to the Starry Sea – the gate itself wasn’t physically here.

The gate that belonged to the dragons was naturally controlled by the Origins Celestial Dragon, and the Zhujian Grand Sage drew upon the power of the gate handled by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage channeled the power of the gate in the hands of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Whether it was the Yellow Plains Dragon King, the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Qiongqi Grand Sage or the Peacock Grand Sage, while they were all drawing upon the power of the gates to the Starry Sea, the actual gates weren’t in their hands.

The people that were holding on to the gates weren’t physically here – the Origins Celestial Dragon, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The only person that was holding on to a gate to the Starry Sea that was physically present was the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The light sphere beside was him was also a projection of the power of the gate, and the actual gate was somewhere else. However, through the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the humans would be able to locate his gate.

This was the reason why no communication was required as both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man lunged toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage on first notice!

The Yellow Plains Dragon King disappeared using the power of the Black Sea and this gave Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man and unpleasant surprise. However, they swiftly reoriented themselves and chose a new target.

They chose the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. The main reason was that the gate to the Starry Sea in his hands was the easiest to steal, and taking the gate out of the hands of the ape demons was beneficial for the future.

Without discussing personal powers, the ancestral ground of the Ancient Ape Demons was Mount Lingyuan and even though it wasn’t like the Black Sea, it was still spectacular.

If the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage lost their own gates, stealing the gate to the Starry Sea from the Ancient Ape Demons would be extremely challenging.

A conflict between these parties would benefit the dragons, who would be watching happily from the side.

On the other hand, if the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage lost his gate, he would have to find another way to secure his entry into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. He didn’t have the means to disturb the Origins Celestial Dragon and the Black Sea, so he would end up picking on the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage or the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

He had a single gate to the Starry Sea. Even though he craved for the gates on the hands of the other great demons, he didn’t dare to be too greedy. If he lost his gate to the Starry Sea and was unable to get it back in a short period of time, it was natural that he’d pick on the others.

Instigating an internal conflict between the great demons was extremely beneficial for the human cultivators. The more chaotic it was and the more demon races involved, the better.

Therefore, no communication was required as Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man chose the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage without hesitation.

Even if they couldn’t defeat and kill him on the spot, they would take down his gate to the Starry Sea.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage finally figured out what was going on, but his fury didn’t die down and he roared as he grew in size and immediately revealed his true form.

He was fearsome, but the onslaught launched against him was even more ferocious. Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares placed his palms together before extending them to both sides – the Two Elements of Creation Formation appeared in the sky along with the Crucible of the Divine Lands before they both crashed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Avatar howled into the sky and his right claw flashed golden as it slashed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man didn’t hold back either. Even though the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell was unable to form the Great Void Holy Pavilion, the Zheng Yi Holy Man brought up the Void Yin-Yang Bell and tapped once on its surface.

Waves and waves of energy rippled outward in all directions with the Void Yin-Yang Bell as the center. Every wave was like a dimensional plane as they contained the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage within.

In the next moment, the Zheng Yi Holy Man opened his palms as rays of flowing light flickered while they permeated the entire area. They rolled like raging tides and the frightening tsunamis in the endless oceans and slammed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage ruthlessly.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage roared again and again as a thick black mist enveloped his entire body. His eyes were blood-red as they sparkled with dazzling brilliance.

He opened his arms to both sides and blocked the Zheng Yi Holy Man and Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar before he leapt backwards and dodged Lin Feng’s Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation reversed instantaneously and swept towards him once again. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage glared as his blood-red eyes started to transform into a black color that resembled the deepest abyss. Two dense streaks of black light were unleashed and shot directly toward the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Wherever the black light touched, void space froze and the two streaks eventually clashed head-on with Lin Feng’s Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s movement stopped from this. The Crucible of the Divine Lands crashed downward on top of his head, and it felt as if the entire Divine Lands was bearing down on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

With a deep boom, the giant Crucible slammed on top of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s head. Despite the immense power of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s true form, the destiny-level magic treasure smashed against his head and concussed him momentarily and he even began to see stars.

Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Zheng Yi Hoy Man pounced at the same time.

Murderous lights sparkled in the eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage as the thick black energies surged about all over his body. Between the thick layers of black mist, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were unable to locate the exact location of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

It seemed obvious enough that he was where he was, but their consciousnesses were obscured by the thick layers of mist and his location was extremely unpredictable.

They could faintly feel the existence of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, but it flickered between the virtual world and the real world and was charged with an intense surreal feeling.

At Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man’s level, to develop a surreal and uncertain feeling like that was an extremely rare occurrence.

However, faced with the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, they were a little uncertain of his existence and his location.

Despite this, both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man remained calm and their expressions remained the same as they appeared as confident as ever.

Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar phased between reality and the virtual world once more as his powerful physical form transformed as it interacted with the light shadows all around him.

Something happened that shocked all the great demons on scene. Lin Feng’s spell seemed to trigger the Star Tomb itself, and even the stars in the outer regions outside the Star Tomb appeared to be affected.

The demon with the lowest level of mastery was a third-level undying demonic soul stage demon. They were able to cultivate stars at that level, and it was natural that they had a deep understanding of the stars.

Yet, something happened that made them feel as if everything they knew was a lie. The group of great demons could faintly feel that the typical orbit and rotations of the stars were experiencing a subtle but real change.

That vast energy was channeled onto Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar as the golden claw continued to slash toward the black mist enveloping the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage – the thick layers of black mist were actually slashed apart, and they separated to reveal a shell-shocked Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

On the other side, the Zheng Yi Holy Man’s body flickered with a mystical light that was unfathomable and incredibly sophisticated but was extremely powerful.

These light rays were calm and dull, and didn’t appear intimidating at all but nobody could overlook its existence.

It was the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells!

This time, the rays of mystical light condensed in the left palm of the Zheng Yi Holy Man as he slammed it down toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. Wherever the light touched, the black mist surrounding the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage dissipated as the light rays locked on to the physical form of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The thick layers of black mist continued to dissipate and revealed the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. At this point, he wasn’t too far away from Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar as the latter was preparing to lunge forward once again.

Even though he was besieged, this powerful great demon made use of the thick black mist to give himself some breathing space and subsequently chose to retaliate in force to create an opening and escape the besiegement.

The only problem was that both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man knew how to counter his spell, and the protective layers of black mist was no longer able to give the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage time.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage grunted once as his opponent was about to pounce on him once more. Several stars lit up within the layers of black mist that enveloped his body. The starlight merged together with the layers of black mist and transformed into streaks of black light that continued to circle around his body in an attempt to resist Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man’s onslaught.

However, Lin Feng’s attacks were never-ending like the waves in the oceans that crashed upon the shores as the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation Formation stepped up once again.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands pressured downward to fix the position of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage as the Two Elements of Creation Formation was completely revealed, and was about to trap this great demon within.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s eyes sparkled intensely. If he was sucked into the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he would be irrevocably imprisoned and he would face an uphill challenge to escape under the continued pressure from Lin Feng, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

At this point, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage suddenly opened his bloody mouth and laughed out loud.

Once his mouth was agape, streaks of light shot out from within – they were specks of irregularly shaped crystals that radiated with warm starlight. They were the star skulls that he had previously retrieved from the Star Tomb.

The bloodshot eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage turned black once more as the rays of black light were shot onto the star skulls. Every star skull evaporated in an instant and were converted into streaks of flowing air.

The quivering Star Tomb quietened down, and the rotating stars appeared to stop in their tracks as well.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man was stunned momentarily before his pupils contracted in shock. "Downburst of the Starry Sea?!"

He withdrew his onslaught right away and flew backwards in the blink of an eye.
