Chapter 454 Reemergence
It needs to learn how to extract order from chaos, how to transform disorder into its own power.
This process is long and painful, but for a "container" devoid of emotion and will, it is merely a task that must be completed.
...
In the distant Southern Celestial Star Cosmos, a deathly silent planet called "Purgatory Star."
Here lies the most notorious prison in the cosmos, holding countless vicious and wicked cultivators. The planet’s surface is covered with powerful arrays and restrictions, while its interior is filled with naturally formed deadly traps.
At this moment, in the deepest part of Purgatory Star, a prisoner suppressed for tens of thousands of years suddenly opened his eyes.
A skinny figure wrapped in black chains, whose weak aura seemed like it might vanish at any moment.
However, on his brow, there was a faint gray mark!
"Hehehe..." The skeletal figure emitted a hoarse and eerie laughter, "The great will... has finally reached us..."
The black chains binding him were forged with special materials by powerful cultivators to suppress him, containing laws that restrain evil forces.
Yet now, these chains trembled slightly, their runes dimmed.
The gray mark on the figure’s brow flickered, emitting an imperceptible gray aura. This aura seemed to possess life, spreading along the chains.
Ssssss!
The chains emitted the sound of corrosion, the runes atop them quickly falling away, their light extinguished.
"For tens of thousands of years... I can finally... reemerge..."
The skeletal figure slowly stood up, the now powerless black chains slid off like snakes.
Though his body remained skeletal, the gray mark on his brow grew increasingly bright.
A powerful aura exploded from within him! This aura was not the power from his peak, but a new, cold, and wicked force!
He slowly lifted his head, revealing a twisted and frenzied smile.
"Purgatory Star... will be our first offering..."
He didn’t use any spells, merely a slight shake of his body.
Boom!
The entirety of Purgatory Star shook violently! The arrays and restrictions on its surface crumbled instantly like paper!
Countless imprisoned criminals and guarding cultivators looked up in terror, gazing into the sky.
Gray mist emerged from the depths of the earth, emitting a suffocating sense of evil.
"What is this?!"
"The arrays have failed! The restrictions are gone!"
"Run quickly!"
The terror-filled cries echoed throughout Purgatory Star. But it was already too late.
The skeletal figure’s form vanished in an instant. In the next moment, he appeared in every corner of Purgatory Star.
Wherever he passed, regardless of vicious criminals or cultivators resisting unto death, as long as their brow lacked a gray mark, they would be enveloped by an invisible force.
Their bodies quickly withered, turning to ash.
Their souls were devoured by the gray aura, their lifelong powers absorbed into the skeletal figure’s brow mark.
"Power... I need more power..."
The skeletal figure greedily devoured, his body swiftly becoming full and strong beyond comprehension.
The gray mark on him grew clearer and more profound.
"Purgatory Star... is just the beginning..."
He looked up at the vast starry sky, his eyes glistening with icy light.
Places like Purgatory Star are many within the Southern Celestial Star Cosmos.
Some ancient sect restricted areas, the burial sites of fallen mighty ones, some naturally formed forbidden grounds...
These places may be suppressing some sealed "Awakened," or contain forces that can be absorbed by "Seeds."
With the great will’s awakening, these activated "pawns" began following certain orders, breaking seals, devouring power, clearing "impurity," preparing for a grander plan.
The Southern Celestial Star Cosmos, once prosperous and thriving, is being silently corroded by darkness.
...
Land of the Far West, the Ancient Restricted Area.
Here is a star domain shrouded in eternal darkness.
Space here has become exceptionally unstable, with large spatial fissures appearing from time to time, swallowing all.
The air is filled with an ancient and heavy aura of decay, and whispers that cause souls to tremble.
Xu Qinghan wore a simple green dress and held a jade sword emitting a faint gentle light, cautiously advancing in this terrifying region.
Her cultivation was steadily at the mid Nascent Soul Stage, but here, the power of the Nascent Soul Stage seemed so insignificant.
The land beneath her feet was black, as if burned countless times.
Occasionally, she could see large, weathered bones belonging to some unknown ancient creatures, emitting a heart-stopping pressure.
The whispers around seemed to come from countless deceased souls, trying to erode Xu Qinghan’s heart spirit, evoking her innermost sadness and fear.
The sect’s collapse... the tragic death of senior brother... the fate of senior brother Xu Ran being implanted with a "Seed"... the uncertainty about Yu Kong’s life or death...
These scenes flashed in her mind, making her heart throb with pain. But she bit her lip tightly, her gaze resolute.
"I cannot fall... I must find power... save senior brother... find Yu Kong..."
She summoned the jade sword, its gentle light forming a shield around her, blocking the intrusion of those whispers. This jade sword was bestowed upon her by her master, containing a trace of purifying power.
"Master said, within the Ancient Restricted Area might be hidden powers against darkness... those ancient guardians... perhaps left something here..."
