Chapter 437 The fifth section of Chaos Golden Bone, locked by the Three Holy Kings!
“Let’s go!”
After gazing into space for a moment, Li Xuanfeng led Leng Wuyan and An Ya towards the nearest life planet.
A spherical Star Domain with a diameter of a hundred light-years—only by truly being within it could one understand how vast it was; even a Saint King could not monitor such an immense area.
With the strength of Li Xuanfeng and Leng Wuyan, as long as they didn’t actively expose themselves, no one in the entire Star Domain, apart from a Saint King directly in front of them, could discover them.
Therefore, even upon entering the Ancient Burial Star Domain, as long as they didn't reach the Void Realm, they wouldn't be monitored by a Saint King. After all, a Saint King couldn't constantly release Divine Sense to observe movements and changes many light-years away.
Able to use the System to observe the color of fate and avoid danger, Li Xuanfeng continued to live a carefree and leisurely life, touring one life planet after another with Leng Wuyan and An Ya, unhurriedly approaching the Void Realm.
His idea was simple: wait until the Chaos Golden Bone broke through to the fifth stage before acquiring the Star Devouring Source.
Because once the Chaos Golden Bone broke through to the fifth stage, his strength would experience a surge. Perhaps it wouldn't be as exaggerated as the Breakthrough from Half-Saint to Saint, but he would certainly be able to contend with an Early Stage Saint King one-on-one.
By releasing his aura in the most perfect state to attract the Heavenly Tribulation and breaking through to the Saint Realm in one go, even three Early Stage Saint Kings combined would not be Li Xuanfeng's match.
Since the three Saint Kings had set up a trap to use him to open the Xuan Emperor Legacy, Li Xuanfeng would grant their wish. However, whether the three Saint Kings would still be qualified to covet the Xuan Emperor Legacy at that time would be up to him.
“Once the Chaos Golden Bone breaks through and the Star Devouring Source is in hand, I will directly attract the Heavenly Tribulation and break through in this Void Realm, ending everything!”
Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.
Peaceful and joyful days always passed quickly; in a blink of an eye, half a year went by.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng and the two others were only four or five light-years away from the Void Realm.
The Tongtian Pagoda was hidden in the Void Realm, concealed by layers upon layers of stealth Formations arranged by Li Xuanfeng. He had already sensed that the Chaos Golden Bone was on the verge of a Breakthrough, so he chose to enter secluded cultivation for a few more days.
“I didn’t expect such a large consumption; breaking through from the fourth to the fifth stage will probably consume a thousand zhang of Star River Condensate!”
Inside the Tongtian Pagoda, Li Xuanfeng sat alone, enveloped in sacred golden light.
One hundred zhang of Star River Condensate could allow a Middle Stage Saint to re-condense a Saint body and significantly boost their combat power, but Li Xuanfeng refined nearly a thousand zhang of Star River Condensate just to bring the Chaos Golden Bone to the brink of Breakthrough.
This was somewhat beyond his initial expectations.
The “Free Spirit Seizing Secret Art” rapidly circulated, and the Star River Condensate was greedily absorbed by the Chaos Golden Bone.
Buzz!
At a certain moment, the Chaos Golden Bone seemed to break through a certain boundary, and an indescribably vast Qi and Blood power surged from him, filling the entire space.
Dazzling golden light swallowed everything. If not for the layers of stealth Formations arranged beforehand, the overwhelming golden glow would have spread unknown distances in the dark and cold vacuum of space.
This was a light even more dazzling than a star!
In the ethereal, a terrifying and majestic Heavenly Might descended, enveloping the entire space. Living beings on nearby planets suddenly felt a tremor, sensing imminent disaster. Regardless of what they were doing at that moment, they instinctively paused, fear rising from their hearts, spreading throughout their bodies, and deeply into their Souls.
Li Xuanfeng quickly reined in all his aura, and the Heavenly Tribulation, which was about to condense, gradually faded away until it completely dissipated.
This time, the Heavenly Might lasted the longest, but Li Xuanfeng ultimately suppressed it, preventing its descent.
He did not plan to attract the Heavenly Tribulation and break through to the Saint Realm before acquiring the Star Devouring Source, because he had reached saturation in all aspects, and his current state was too perfect. The commotion of the Breakthrough would inevitably be enormous; even with layers of Formations, it would be impossible to conceal. The vast Heavenly Might would be enough to create a huge stir in the Star Domain, likely attracting the attention of Saint Kings hundreds or even thousands of light-years away.
If this action were to alarm the Saint Kings and affect his acquisition of the Star Devouring Source, it would be a losing proposition.
The three Saint Kings feared Li Xuanfeng would destroy An Ya, the key to opening the Legacy. Li Xuanfeng likewise worried that the Saint Kings would destroy the Star Devouring Source. Although this possibility was very small, he still had to be on guard.
Once the Breakthrough caused too much commotion and displayed strength that made the Saint Kings wary or even fearful, it would only add variables.
If the Star Devouring Source were destroyed, who knew when An Ya's Heaven Devouring Demonic Body would awaken?
Therefore, it was not too late to break through after the Star Devouring Source was safely in hand; it would even be fine to break through while riding on the heads of the three Saint Kings!
At this moment.
The Void Realm, four or five light-years away.
Three figures, who had been guarding this Star Domain for an unknown period, opened their eyes simultaneously. Their gazes ignored the vast distance, falling beyond light-years, locking onto the area where Li Xuanfeng was located.
“Heavenly Tribulation?”
The three Saint Kings all felt a little surprised.
As those who had experienced it, how could they not sense that familiar, majestic Heavenly Might, even though it was distant and brief, they still captured it.
“Who is it?”
“Is it him?”
Although they had locked onto the precise location from which the Heavenly Might originated, with a distance of four or five light-years and layers of Formations concealing it, the three Saint Kings could not immediately ascertain the other party's identity.
“It seems he has arrived.”
In the Void Realm, on a desolate, dilapidated black planet, a man in a black robe sat cross-legged in the air. His eyes pierced through four or five light-years, looking at Li Xuanfeng's hidden location, with a faint killing intent swirling within them.
This person was one of the three Saint Kings standing at the pinnacle of the Star Domain, the strongest of the Xuantian Sect, Xuantian Saint King.
Xuantian Saint King had once received the Legacy of Xuan Emperor, obtaining the Cultivation Technique and secret arts that Xuan Emperor had once practiced. Thus, he created the Xuantian Sect and proclaimed himself the orthodox successor of Xuan Emperor.
But he knew very well that Xuan Emperor’s descendants were the true orthodox, and the little he had obtained was merely scraps that Xuan Emperor had no use for.
However, it was precisely from these scraps that he learned some of Xuan Emperor’s past, knowing that he had left a Legacy.
To find and open the Legacy, it would most likely require finding the true descendants with Xuan Emperor’s Bloodline.
But Xuan Emperor existed too long ago, and his descendants, for some unknown reason, had completely fallen into decline, with clues almost entirely cut off. Finding them was not an easy task.
For many years, Xuantian Saint King, in his quest to find Xuan Emperor’s descendants, had annihilated countless Families suspected of being Xuan Emperor’s descendants.
It wasn’t until he inadvertently discovered the An Family that he finally saw hope.
After investigation and deduction, he found that the An Family had a high probability of being Xuan Emperor’s true descendants. To open the Legacy, he had to start with this small Family that he wouldn’t normally even glance at.
Especially An Ya's unawakened Heaven Devouring Demonic Body, which gave him great hope.
For the Xuan Emperor Legacy, Tianyu Saint King of the Tianyu Race and Xueling Saint King of the Xueling Race had both invested a lot of effort and time. They also, intentionally or unintentionally, kept an eye on Xuantian Saint King. To be precise, all three Saint Kings were wary of each other, constantly monitoring for any unusual movements, each fearing that the other would discover the Xuan Emperor Legacy first.
If one could inherit the Xuan Emperor Legacy, that would be truly orthodox. Whichever side, be it the Xuantian Sect, the Tianyu Race, or the Xueling Race, obtained it, would instantly become the true overlord of the Star Domain, possessing absolute authority.
At that time, even if they went to the Canglan Realm, they might not be unable to contend with those ultimate powerhouses.
Therefore, to avoid being discovered by Tianyu Saint King and Xueling Saint King, who had been constantly watching his movements, Xuantian Saint King pretended as if nothing was amiss. He secretly gave orders to target the An Family in a way that wouldn’t attract the attention of Cultivators above the King Realm, attempting to force An Ya’s Heaven Devouring Demonic Body to awaken automatically through extreme despair and emotions.
Originally, Xuantian Saint King knew that Xueling Saint King possessed a Star Devouring Source. By simply trading with him, he wouldn't need to use such a low-probability method.
But Xuantian Saint King had no intention of sharing the Xuan Emperor Legacy with anyone, which is why he resorted to such an extreme method.
Although it hadn't succeeded, he felt that success was actually not far off.
But who knew that Li Xuanfeng would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and actually discover the truth using a method that could bypass Soul Restrictions?
This bizarre method was something even Xuantian Saint King had never mastered, thus completely exceeding his expectations.
Extreme Blade Saint arrived as quickly as possible, ready to deal with Li Xuanfeng, but instead perished at his hands.
Even White Feather Saint of the Tianyu Race and Blood Charm Saint of the Xueling Race suffered the same fate.
The demise of a Saint was a monumental event even for the three top forces in the Star Domain.
The secret concerning An Ya could no longer be kept hidden.
Since this matter was no longer a secret, Xuantian Saint King had no choice but to cooperate with Tianyu Saint King and Xueling Saint King. He demanded that Xueling Saint King produce the Star Devouring Source, and the three of them jointly ordered their subordinate forces to spread news of the Star Devouring Source, hoping to lure out Li Xuanfeng.
Over a year passed. Li Xuanfeng was not lured out, but many powerhouses from other Star Domains were.
However, the Star Devouring Source was controlled by Xueling Saint King. As figures at the pinnacle of the Star Domain's hierarchy, as long as they were unwilling, no one in the Star Domain could obtain the Star Devouring Source; it was specifically prepared for Li Xuanfeng.
The majestic Heavenly Might brought by the impending Heavenly Tribulation just now did not allow the Saint Kings to conclude that it was caused by Li Xuanfeng, but they felt it was highly likely to be him.
This person had entered their sights. Since he had been targeted, it was impossible for him to slip away from under their noses. His identity would soon be confirmed.
“Since you’ve come, let this Star Devouring Source buy your life.”
Xuantian Saint King’s gaze pierced beyond light-years, looking at Li Xuanfeng’s hidden location, as killing intent slowly brewed in his heart.
