Above the ruined palace cluster, the massive, curtain-like dome let out a violent roar, and within that cacophony, the full moon that had been imprinted upon the light shield vanished without a trace.
The sky remained filled with stars and the blazing sun, yet the disappearance of the moon created a striking disharmony in the scene displayed upon the shield.
Tang Yuannan looked up, his face blanching in alarm as he cried out, "This is bad!" Shi Yan, clueless, gazed up at the shield and asked calmly, "What's happening?" "Moon Island has been destroyed," Tang Yuannan gritted out, his expression furious. "At the very least, the array upon Moon Island has been shattered, otherwise the shield above us wouldn't look like this.
The Moon Goddess is still on that island; I don't know her condition.
I must go up and check.
The situation in the Endless Sea is extremely chaotic right now; I've lingered down here far too long." Saying this, Tang Yuannan prepared to depart.
Seeing him about to leave, Shi Yan immediately called out, "Take me with you.
I have no desire to stay here any longer either." The more chaotic the Endless Sea became, the greater the opportunities for him.
He intended to seize this chance to solidify his newly ascended realm, using the deaths of others to absorb power and make himself stronger.
After awakening from that marvelous state, he realized the orb of vital essence was no longer drawing power from the vortex in his lower abdomen.
Although the strange vortex—fused from the Holy Spirit God, the Profound Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Core Fire—contained immense energy, it was constantly seeping away.
He understood in his heart that the only reason he could contend with Mo Qi Ta, and freeze the elders of the Three Gods Sect, was entirely due to the efficacy of the vortex formed by the fusion of the Profound Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Core Fire, and the Holy Spirit God.
The chilling power of the Profound Ice Cold Flame could turn an entire island into a glacier.
The Earth Core Fire was the spirit of flame accumulated from countless years of volcanic eons.
The Holy Spirit God was the convergence of the faith energy from countless adherents of the Holy Spirit Sect, and it had merged with the chilling power of the Ice Bone Crystal Dragon itself...
The Profound Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Core Fire, and the Holy Spirit God—these three unique life forms each contained colossal energy.
Their temporary fusion had indeed granted him unimaginable strength, allowing him to battle experts in the Divine Realm and temporarily savor the ecstasy brought by such formidable power.
However, this was ultimately not strength that truly belonged to him.
He vaguely sensed that the fusion of these three life forms would conclude soon.
He perceived the energy of the three entities draining rapidly, knowing that at any moment, they might separate from his vortex, leaving him stripped bare.
While these three life forms remained within the vortex, while he still wielded this immense power, now was the time to immerse himself in the conflicts of the Endless Sea, to kill more people, and to use his mysterious Martial Soul to absorb their essence, thus truly completing the mutation of his internal Martial Soul.
Looking at his purplish-red right arm, Shi Yan felt a surge of excitement, believing that the full transformation of his Petrified Martial Soul might hinge on this decision. "You want to go up?" Tang Yuannan arrived before an arched palace, stepping into the ancient teleportation array at its center.
He suddenly turned back, frowning. "Seven days ago, during your battle with Mo Qi Ta, Gu Xiao, Wu Qin, Cao Zhilan, Man Gu, and the others watched your fight with Mo Qi Ta clearly through the Phantom Crystals at the Gu Family's Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
They were shocked by the potential you displayed, and that shock turned to fear.
Seven days later, after I bring you out, the Gu Family, the Sacred Pool Holy Land, and other factions, having learned that the foreigners who were once with you have allied with the demons, have united with various forces in the Endless Sea to issue a decree: hunt you down." Shi Yan's expression instantly darkened. "Currently, the Yuanluo Sea Domain is embroiled in a chaotic melee between the demons and the various factions.
The moment you appear, I believe both the demons and those forces of the Endless Sea would be more than happy to make you their primary target.
As soon as they locate you, they will dispatch masters to eliminate you.
While you seem powerful now, I know this isn't your true, sustainable strength.
Once this borrowed power vanishes, I imagine, with your Nirvana Realm cultivation, you will be swiftly executed." Tang Yuannan’s expression became grave as he advised, "Stay here.
No one will seek you out for a while.
Wait until the situation above stabilizes before venturing out.
Moreover, once you do leave, it would be best to temporarily depart the Endless Sea altogether.
The current Endless Sea might not be a place that can accommodate you." "I need to go up.
The battlefield above is also mine." Shi Yan did not wish to offer explanations, nor could he reveal the secrets of the mysterious Martial Soul within him.
He stepped directly into the ancient teleportation array.
Tang Yuannan was taken aback. "I have my reasons," Shi Yan paused, then said to Tang Yuannan, "Don't worry.
I won't be eliminated so easily.
On the contrary, those who wish to destroy me are precisely the soil that will temper me." Tang Yuannan seemed somewhat perplexed, staring deeply at him for a long moment before finally nodding. "It seems you have your own plans.
In that case, I will no longer press you." Without another word, the Sun Beam imbued in Tang Yuannan suddenly shot out ninety-nine beams, each ray of divine light striking a corner of the adjacent ancient formation.
A dazzling burst of light flashed.
Tang Yuannan and Shi Yan reappeared on the desolate island where they had first entered the underwater palace.
The firmament above was deep, studded with twinkling stars.
With every flicker of light from a star, it seemed starlight descended from the Nine Heavens, converging upon Shi Yan’s body.
Under the night sky, Shi Yan looked up, feeling the absorption of the boundless starlight by his Star Martial Soul.
As his thoughts shifted, he noticed countless points of starlight within his heart flashing and moving in unison, subtly mirroring the fundamental principles of the rotation of heaven and earth. "Eh?" Shi Yan's expression changed.
Gazing at the silver disk of the moon amidst the myriad stars, he couldn't help but gasp, "That is..." In the dead of night, the silvery moonlight poured down like rippling water, but midway, it gathered into a single beam, projecting like a spotlight onto a hazy, beautiful silhouette standing suspended in the void.
This figure seemed to hover beneath the full moon, her form tall and graceful, entirely shrouded in a corona of moonlight, resembling the legendary Moon Palace Fairy—ethereal and dreamlike, creating an almost unreal sensation.
She appeared to drink the essence of the moonlight, standing beneath the moon and drawing together all the lunar radiance of the night sky.
Even separated by tens of thousands of miles, Shi Yan felt an immense, boundless, and illusory distance, perceiving her as an impractical phantasm, like the reflection of the moon in the Moon Pool. "The new generation Moon Goddess is indeed a heaven-gifted genius," Tang Yuannan said, his expression awestruck, his eyes blazing with ecstatic excitement. "She has entered the Divine Manifestation Realm! With the peculiarity of her Silver Moon Martial Soul that absorbs millennia of moonlight, once she reaches the Divine Manifestation Realm, her true power in the Endless Sea might rival that of heroes like Cao Qiudao or Yang Yitian.
This truly is the finest era for our Divine Sect." "Divine Manifestation Realm..." Shi Yan looked at the figure veiled in moonlight with surprise, murmuring the words softly, before saying to Tang Yuannan, "It seems your worries were unnecessary.
Since she has broken through to the Divine Manifestation Realm, I imagine she should be quite safe." "Naturally.
Unless Cao Qiudao or Yang Yitian make a move, no one else in the Endless Sea should be able to harm her," Tang Yuannan laughed contentedly, then turned to Shi Yan. "Shouldn't you go and meet her? Technically, you should have already met.
When you first arrived at Sun Island, she mentioned wanting to see you, but then later..." "Never mind.
I have my own pressing matters," Shi Yan interrupted Tang Yuannan, discerning the direction. "I'm heading to Snow Dragon Island to check on the situation there." "But aren't you incapable of flying through the void?" Tang Yuannan asked, surprised.
Shi Yan smiled faintly, suddenly activating his Star Martial Soul.
Countless points of starlight gathered around his body, forming a thin, luminous shield.
As this shield materialized, with a flicker of his will, it split into two, forming two gossamer-thin wings of starlight.
Then, with a flutter of the wings behind him, he soared into the sky, transforming into a brilliant streak of starlight as he shot away.
This was an evolution of the Star Shield, utilizing it to cleave apart and form Star Wings.
By harnessing the stellar power within these wings, he could achieve void flight even at the Nirvana Realm—it was utterly marvelous.
Beneath the vast expanse of stars, with his Star Wings unfurled, the light radiating from Shi Yan's back was dazzling.
He could clearly feel countless invisible forces from the zenith of the cosmos subtly injecting themselves into his wings.
The formation of the Star Wings required the activation of the Star Martial Soul, but once condensed, the wings continuously absorbed stellar power from the heavens.
The void flight Shi Yan required depended solely on the stellar energy stored within the wings.
Therefore, flying with these wings consumed not a single fraction of his vital essence.
The speed of these Star Wings depended on the intensity of the starlight they contained; the stronger the stellar energy within the wings, the faster he could propel them.
If all the starlight within the wings were unleashed instantaneously, it would create a Star Evasion, covering millions of miles in a single moment.
In the night sky, Shi Yan accelerated towards Snow Dragon Island, pushing his Star Wings.
From time to time, he glanced at the firmament, sensing the influx of stellar power, quietly circulating his Star Defense, attempting to masterfully manipulate the stellar forces he could command, practicing the intricate use of these energies even while flying.
Stars flickered in the palms of his hands.
Wondrous star formations materialized and combined within his palms.
While soaring, he focused his mind into them, seeking to comprehend the ultimate truths of the stars...
Suddenly, intense fluctuations of life force were detected from a reef area about eight hundred miles ahead.
Pulled from his immersion in comprehending the mysteries of the stars, Shi Yan snapped awake.
His Sea of Consciousness stirred, and his primary soul expanded his divine sense.
A strange sensation flooded his mind...
He suddenly felt as if he possessed countless eyes.
As his divine sense spread, he could clearly see every scene in its path.
In all directions, across heaven and sea, any scene swept over by his divine sense became vividly clear, manifesting precisely within his mind.
This was a profoundly peculiar realization.
Previously, when he released his divine sense, he could perceive some things, but the feeling was akin to a blind person touching an object—he could sense the physical form and the existence of things, but the perception lacked detail and clarity.
Now, it was different.
Wherever his divine sense reached, it was as if his true body had arrived, allowing him to see every detail with perfect clarity.
Threads of divine sense, like his myriad Heavenly Eyes, presented the surrounding circumstances one by one.
When his divine sense reached the area vibrating with life force, he perceived the scene with utter clarity, without exerting much effort, and he saw several familiar faces...
