Chapter 858: Star Fragments
After the group returned to the city, they first rested for a few days.
The cost of this war was far greater than expected, and everyone needed time to recover.
Li Yang's condition is the most serious.
[The Devourer of Worlds] has been in an unstable state after absorbing that terrifying energy.
He could feel that the power in his body was constantly surging, and it seemed that it might lose control at any time.
"Those pieces must be found as soon as possible."
Li Yang looked out the window at the night and murmured to himself.
At this moment, Jiang Lan came to visit.
"Did you find anything?" Li Yang asked.
Jiang Lan nodded:
"I checked some ancient books and found some clues."
"The battle of the gods that the traveler mentioned seems to have really happened in ancient times."
"Specific content?"
"The records are very vague." Jiang Lan shook his head, "It is only said that the war affected nine heavens and ten lands, and many planes were shattered as a result."
"It ends with the death of the gods or their sealing."
Li Yang thoughtfully said: "So now those seals are loosening..."
"Yes." Jiang Lan said, "And I found something interesting."
He took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll:
"Look at this."
Li Yang took the scroll and saw nine interconnected rings drawn on it.
"This is..."
"Nine great artifacts." Jiang Lan explained, "Legend has it that they are magical weapons left behind by the gods in ancient wars."
"That Origin Jade may be one of them."
Li Yang's eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."
"If we can find other artifacts, we may be able to prevent the coming catastrophe."
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
Yan Yue pushed open the door and walked in: "It's not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened in the star realm." Yan Yue looked solemn,
"I just received news that there are cracks in the star boundary, and a large number of strange creatures are pouring in."
"Star realm..." Li Yang frowned, "That's not..."
"Yes, it is one of the oldest realms of gods."
Jiang Lan said, "If the star realm falls..."
"The balance of the entire world will be disrupted."
Li Yang stood up: "Inform the others and we will set off immediately."
"But..." Yan Yue was a little worried, "Your condition..."
"It's too late." Li Yang shook his head, "We must control the situation before it escalates."
Soon, everyone gathered again.
"How is the situation?" Li Yan asked.
"It's very bad." Yan Yue replied, "The star defenders have suffered heavy casualties and need immediate reinforcements."
"And..." she paused, "someone saw something familiar."
"What?"
"Blood Rune."
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Sure enough..." Li Yang sighed, "all of this was premeditated."
"Then let's..."
"The troops are divided into two groups." Li Yang said, "Jiang Lan and I will go to the star realm, and you will continue to search for the whereabouts of Yuanyuan Jade."
"No." Xia Yuan objected, "Your current state is too dangerous."
"That's why I want to go." Li Yang smiled slightly.
"If [The Eater of Worlds] really loses control..."
"At least no innocents will be harmed in the Star Realm."
Everyone was silent.
"Decided?" Qingping asked.
"Yes." Li Yang nodded, "Time is urgent, act immediately."
Before leaving, Yan Yue suddenly called Jiang Lan:
"Be careful. The star realm is not as good as the human world, the rules there..."
"I know." Jiang Lan smiled slightly, "Don't worry."
Watching the two people leave, Li Yan suddenly said:
"I always feel that... what they have to face is far more than just an invasion from the astral realm."
"But..." Xia Yuan looked into the distance, "Now we can only believe them."
The entrance to the astral realm.
Li Yang and Jiang Lan stood in front of the teleportation array.
"Are you ready?" Li Yang asked.
Jiang Lan took a deep breath: "You can do it anytime."
"That..."
"Set off!"
The light flickered and the two figures disappeared into the teleportation array.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw a bright galaxy in front of them.
Countless stars shine in the sky, forming a magnificent star map.
But soon, they discovered something unusual.
In the distant starry sky, a large and strange darkness is spreading.
There seemed to be countless ferocious faces hidden in those darkness.
"Here we come..." Li Yang said.
Before he finished speaking, a scream pierced the starry sky.
Countless black shadows emerged from the void and rushed towards them.
"Be careful!" Jiang Lan reminded, "These things..."
"I know." Li Yang nodded, "They are all creations of chaos."
The two stood back to back, surrounded by dark creatures coming like a tide.
"Ready to fight!"
Li Yang shouted loudly, and the [World Devourer] unfolded behind him.
And Jiang Lan also activated the remaining power of chaos in his body.
Under the starry sky, a new battle is about to begin.
And this may be just the beginning of a bigger storm...
Astral realm.
Li Yang and Jiang Lan were trapped in a tight siege.
Those dark creatures have different shapes, some are like twisted human shapes, and some are completely beyond imagination.
They pour out from the cracks in the void continuously, as if there is no end.
"This can't go on like this!" Jiang Lan gathered the power of chaos and swept out a blade of light.
"We must find the source." Li Yang said, and [World Devourer] suddenly expanded.
The dark vortex sucked the surrounding monsters into it, but soon new ones came.
At this moment, a violent energy fluctuation came from afar.
"That is..."
The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a huge altar of light deep in the starry sky.
The altar was surrounded by countless runes and was emitting a dazzling light.
"The heart of the starry sky!" Jiang Lan exclaimed, "It is the core that maintains the stability of the starry sky."
"It seems that the enemy's goal is very clear." Li Yang said,
"We have to..."
Before he finished speaking, the power in his body suddenly rioted.
"It's bad." Li Yang's face changed, "[World Devourer] wants..."
"Hold on!" Jiang Lan held him, "I will deal with these miscellaneous soldiers."
At the same time.
In the human world.
Li Yan and others are investigating the whereabouts of the fragments of the origin jade.
"There is news." Qingping suddenly said, "Abnormal energy fluctuations appeared on the coast of the East China Sea."
"Let's go and take a look."
The group quickly rushed to the East China Sea.
However, when they arrived, they found that someone had already got there first.
"This breath..." Yanyue frowned, "It is the breath of the ancient gods."
Sure enough, a tall figure wearing silver armor stood not far away.
The other party turned around and revealed a sharp face:
"You all came at the right time."
"This fragment..." He raised the glimmering crystal in his hand,
"I'm afraid I can't give it to you."
Star Realm.
Li Yang and Jiang Lan finally broke through the siege and came to the altar.
However, the scene in front of them surprised them.
A huge ball of light was suspended in the center of the altar, rotating slowly.
And on the surface of the ball of light, a fragment of the Origin Jade was inlaid!
"I see." Li Yang suddenly realized,
"Their goal is..."
"To use the power of the Origin Jade to destroy the Heart of the Star Realm." Jiang Lan said.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded:
"You are indeed the one who can control the power of chaos."
In the void, the figure of the traveler appeared again:
"But... it's too late."
"What do you want to do?"
