Immortal Starry Sky
Chapter 559 534: Sustaining War Through War
"You Ji?" Wang Xu questioned in confusion.
"Wang Xu, this Silver Dragon is a great replenishment, we can't waste it!" You Ji's voice was filled with excitement.
Roar!
Roar!
The ten Silver Dragons were momentarily startled by the flames that suddenly ignited, but it only heightened their fury towards Wang Xu, and they all charged at him.
"You Ji, you need to act faster, I can't hold on against ten Silver Dragons for long."
Since You Ji had spoken, Wang Xu had to persevere to the end, even though he was at his wit's end.
"These Silver Dragons are unlike other creatures and belong to Kedan, I need a minute," You Ji explained.
"One minute, alright!"
Battle intent flared in Wang Xu's eyes as his Palm Technique moved fluidly to fend off the attacks of the ten Silver Dragons.
Bang!
"Wah..."
Wang Xu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face grew a shade paler, but his fighting spirit blazed on as he launched another attack.
Like a star, the massive red and white flame ball quickly shrank, while You Ji steadily consumed the immense Silver Dragon carcass.
"Amazing! Wang Xu, do you feel it? The immense Sacred Qi, Power of Laws, and... Constant Force! This Silver Dragon is truly a treasure!"
You Ji shouted in excitement.
Wang Xu had been torn by Silver Dragon claws, but he managed to dodge just in time, leaving only a few gruesome wounds on his chest, bleeding profusely.
"You Ji, now's not the time to celebrate!" Wang Xu said with a pale face.
"Wang Xu, this isn't like you, holding off ten Silver Dragons for just one minute, don't tell me you can't do it," You Ji quipped.
Wang Xu gave a bitter smile.
You Ji was using a motivational tactic in disguise.
As they coexisted in one, You Ji was well aware of Wang Xu's weakened state.
Fighting against ten Silver Dragons was draining, and after utilizing the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, Wang Xu was almost burning his Inner Cosmos.
The time swiftly passed, and it seemed like Wang Xu had been fighting for hundreds of years, utterly exhausted.
Phew!
The Silver Dragon's body vanished, and the red and white flames returned to Wang Xu's body.
Rustle, rustle, rustle~
Instantly, Wang Xu's Sacred Qi and Power of Laws were rapidly replenished.
"I feel like I can fight again." Wang Xu's fighting spirit grew stronger.
The Silver Dragon was indeed a significant replenishment.
The vast amounts of Power of Laws, Sacred Qi, and Life Force he had consumed were all replenished from the Silver Dragon, no wonder You Ji was so excited.
Everything Wang Xu had lost before, a single Silver Dragon "down," and he was immediately restored by eighty percent.
"You Ji, looks like we have to keep fighting," Wang Xu smiled slightly and struck a Silver Dragon flying with a backhanded palm.
"Hehe! We must keep fighting, I haven't had my fill yet!" You Ji's eager voice echoed in his mind.
"Alright, then battle on!"
Wang Xu, filled with fighting spirit, took the initiative to attack the Silver Dragons.
...
"Huh? How did his life force go from being so weak to fully restored all of a sudden?"
"It's the Seed of Chaos! If I'm not mistaken, it must be 'Chaos Devouring Fire'!"
"Chaos Devouring Fire? The legendary seed of chaos said to devour even those in the Great Emperor Realm?"
"Heavens, such a rare chaos-extinct treasure, how could it be on a Saint Venerable Realm youngster!"
The Saint Venerable Ancestors were shocked beyond words.
Chaos Devouring Fire, they had lived for such a long time, but had only heard of it and seen descriptions in ancient books.
No person had ever truly witnessed the seed of chaos!
Even if a seed of chaos emerged, it would be snatched by those in the Great Emperor Realm in no time, leaving the Saint Venerable Ancestors without even a chance to glimpse it.
The seed of chaos seemed like an ancient legend, unreachable.
Yet today, they saw it.
And it was on a young one in the Duality Saint Venerable Realm.
The huge contrast left the Saint Venerable Ancestors momentarily at a loss.
"Chaos Devouring Fire... Haha! This youngster actually has such a supreme chaos treasure, seems like this story was worth telling, and the wine worth drinking! Haha..." The Ancestor of Wine and Music laughed heartily.
The seed of chaos, born from chaos.
They are the darlings of chaos, unmatched by any other creatures.
Precisely because of this, each seed of chaos possesses terrifying power beyond compare.
Like You Ji's Chaos Devouring Fire, the corpse of a Silver Dragon in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm was completely decomposed by its burning, turning into Sacred Qi, Power of Laws, and Life Force to swiftly restore Wang Xu.
This fearsome being that "nourishes war with war" allowed Wang Xu to fight without a scrap of hesitation!
In the long run, Wang Xu's power would continuously rise, and eventually, reaching the Great Emperor Realm would not be an impossibility!
What an honor to be acquainted with a future figure in the Great Emperor Realm?
"Chaos Devouring Fire..."
In the eyes of the Dark Night Saint Venerable, a sharp glint flashed.
As an extraordinary prodigy, he had cultivated all three major chaos powers to their peaks, and although in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, he possessed strength surpassing the Ancestor Realm...
With such talent, he could look down upon any who claimed to be geniuses!
"I... should be the one to become the master of Chaos Devouring Fire!" This was the thought of the Dark Night Saint Venerable.
The same was true for all other Saint Venerable Ancestors.
Many Saint Venerable Ancestors, after getting over their shock, had uncertain gazes, with a hint of vicious ambition flickering.
A mere Duality Saint Venerable Realm is not worthy of possessing the Chaos Devouring Fire, the true rightful masters of Chaos Devouring Fire should be them!
However, no matter how greedy and desirous they were within, they could only suppress it for the time being.
The Profound Dragon Room does not allow any Trial Takers to fight each other, this is an iron rule set by the Great Emperor of the Profound Dragon, which no one can defy.
"The day I leave, I will become the master of the Chaos Devouring Fire!"
A heart's voice, resonating with countless people.
...
"God-Suppressing!"
The ancient desolate aura, dazzling golden light shining, Wang Xu struck with a palm, the peculiar Power of Reversal Law making his golden giant palm appear incredibly slow, yet seemingly crossing voids with speed, a Silver Dragon had nowhere to hide and was hit head-on.
Boom!
In this strike, Wang Xu utilized the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection from his right hand.
The Silver Dragon let out a tragic scream, meeting the same end as the previous Silver Dragon that died at Wang Xu's hand, perishing on the spot in unwillingness.
"Delicacy! Here I come!" You Ji rushed forward without a word.
Rustle rustle rustle~
A minute later, the consumption of Wang Xu's Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection was again replenished, reaching seventy percent of its original state.
"I can still fight!"
With the Power of Laws replenished, and Wang Xu's Sacred Qi overflowing and intact, he naturally chose to continue fighting.
Roar!
Another Silver Dragon joined the circle of battle, filling in the gap.
"Ten Silver Dragons... These are my best sparring partners!"
Wang Xu's expression was excited, the light of battle intent flashed in his eyes.
Ten Silver Dragons, risking everything to kill him, Wang Xu, to save his life, naturally had to concentrate all his attention, observing every strike of the Silver Dragons, and rapidly reacting.
This was the most exhilarating battle Wang Xu had experienced in many years.
Neither side slackened for a moment, both fighting with all their might, determined to kill the other.
Such a duel greatly benefited Wang Xu.
Time passed, and several years went by in a flash.
"I give up!" The utterly exhausted Wang Xu finally raised his hand, shouting out his surrender.
You Ji's supplementation could not bring Wang Xu directly back to peak condition, there would always be a slight deficit.
This deficit accumulated over time, until even replenishment was useless, and Wang Xu had to choose to give up.
Lan Ji waved a hand, imprisoning all the Silver Dragons, unable to advance further.
Wang Xu then returned before the White Dragon's Dragon Circle, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lan Ji.
"You little fellow, even I didn't expect you would become the master of the Chaos Devouring Fire." Lan Ji said with a smile.
A Duality Saint Venerable actually possessing the Chaos Devouring Fire, such a thing was hard to believe no matter on whom it happened.
"Senior Lan Ji, devouring that Silver Dragon shouldn't count as breaking the rules, right?" Wang Xu asked.
"Naturally, it doesn't count. The Great Emperor of the Profound Dragon had already set up an Array back then, even if you devoured ten thousand Silver Dragons, it wouldn't affect the Profound Dragon Room in the slightest." Lan Ji replied, "Go back, your 'Zheng' realm is too low, you still cannot tame Silver Dragons, return after you've cultivated more."
"Thank you, Senior Lan Ji."
Wang Xu had intended to test his 'Zheng' strength on the Silver Dragons, but by a twist of fate, he missed the chance to experiment.
However, Lan Ji gave Wang Xu a definite answer.
His 'Zheng' realm was insufficient to enslave Silver Dragons.
Returning to the island, as soon as Wang Xu landed, a multitude of Saint Venerable Ancestors gathered around, their attitudes becoming exceedingly enthusiastic.
The Chaos Devouring Fire's renown was tremendous.
Possessing the Chaos Devouring Fire indirectly signified he had the potential to become a Great Emperor, different from the Dark Night Saint Venerable; despite being a monstrous genius, the Dark Night Saint Venerable might also become a Great Emperor in the future.
But if people had to choose between the Dark Night Saint Venerable and Wang Xu, most would likely still choose Wang Xu.
Not for anything else, just because of the Chaos Devouring Fire.
...
"Ancestor of Wine and Music." Wang Xu approached the Ancestor of Wine and Music.
"Ah, Tai Xu, you really opened this old man's eyes, such a rarity as the Chaos Devouring Fire, I hadn't even seen it before, and seeing it today, it sure is formidable!" The Ancestor of Wine and Music took a big sip of wine, laughing.
"The Ancestor gives too much praise, Tai Xu has come hoping the Ancestor might offer some guidance, I have too many unknowns in the Law Realm, and I hope the Ancestor would generously enlighten me." Wang Xu said humbly.
"Haha! Being able to guide a future Great Emperor is my honor!"
The Ancestor of Wine and Music laughed heartily.
Thus, under the complete guidance of the Ancestor of Wine and Music, Wang Xu began to comprehend the Reversal Law.
If one were to ask which of the three powers is more important, Wang Xu would unequivocally point to the "Power of Laws."
Comparing a person to a barrel full of water.
Realm Power and Soul Power are the water in the barrel.
And the Power of Laws is that barrel.
The higher and stronger the Law Realm, the larger and taller the barrel.
Only in this way can the Realm Power and Soul Power gradually strengthen.
If the Law Realm is inadequate, Realm Power and Soul Power cannot become stronger.
The Third Realm's "Reverse Movement" law is clearly more challenging than Wang Xu imagined.
One hundred thousand years passed.
"Don't understand... still don't understand, what the Ancestor of Wine and Music taught me, I can't understand even a bit of it." Wang Xu frowned.
Two hundred thousand years later.
"Understood a little, but it's just superficial, still obscure and vague."
Three hundred thousand years...
"Seemingly felt something, yet it's elusive, this feeling, like scratching an itch with a boot on, unsatisfying!"
One million years.
"Wait... I see it, that is... Reverse Touch... Inversion... Reverse Movement, indeed! It is Reverse Movement!"
Wang Xu suddenly opened his eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
