Chapter 463: Twenty-Eight Mansions Lights Up The Heavens! [1]
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
A celestial dragon hovered between the sky and the earth while streams of blood were absorbed continuously into its body from the blood lake below. Although the dragon’s body did not look big, it still radiated a majestic aura.
It wasn’t just blood. With countless years of precipitation of essence, the blood lake also contained the myriad emotions of the dead, as well as their negative energy.

Ang!

The dozen meters long dragon looked roared domineeringly as it absorbed the stellar energy. At the same time, it continued to gulp down large amounts of the blood lake’s water!

Is this really a celestial dragon?
Mo Dao muttered to himself. The dragon before his eyes looked so hideous and malicious it was more apt to call it a demonic dragon.
Although the blood pool looked small, it actually held a great amount of energy, allowing this hideous demonic dragon to evolve into a human with a dragon head. Large numbers of blood-red patterns interwove on its surface, and a purplish black robe appeared on its back. Long, rich hair flowed down its back, and the crystal red hair fluttered without any wind behind it.

Hou!

The dragon-headed Star God raised its head and roared fiercely, sending violent sound waves blasting across all directions!

Cling Clang!

Countless chains rattled and clashed together, creating a noisy clamor.

Sou!

The Star God that was not even 10 meters long disappeared instantly, appearing several kilometers high above in the sky, its body abruptly expanding to over 1000 zhang long.

Huu!

The Star God turned its head and faced the Polaris Star. Then, it opened its mouth and sucked with all its might.
As soon as it appeared, the hundred zhang big Polaris star projection high in the sky instantly began to gravitate towards the Star God. As it approached nearer, its image grew bigger and bigger, looking like a falling asteroid!

What the hell is this?!


Gosh, it’s so huge. Is that a half-demon? Or a Super Demonic Beast that’s evolved?

Countless people looked up into the sky at the huge creature that was wrapped in purple and red energy like a celestial beast soaring through the air!

No matter what that thing is, it must be killed


Send out the fighter jets! A monster like that should not even exist!

The senior military officers started to grow nervous. It was obvious with a single look that the strange creature looked nothing like a human. There was an old Chinese saying that went: if it was not of my species, it had to have unkind intentions!
Of course, such a saying was extremely outdated and somewhat nonsensical. But for an unknown creature like this, it was better to stay on the safe side. The creature had to be killed before it did any damage!
An old man who sat at the head of the long table opened his mouth and said,
No, let’s wait a while first.

In an instant, everybody quieted down and looked towards him respectfully.

We’ll not involve ourselves in this matter for now. Send someone to inform Mt Kunlun about the matter. Both sides are not anything good anyway; just let them fight each other to the death first!
the old man continued after a short silence.
Everyone looked up with a start, suddenly realizing the meaning behind the old man’s words. By attacking the unknown creature, they might very possibly infuriate it, bringing huge devastation and casualties upon themselves. In that case, why not let Mt Kunlun send out their own manpower to fight the creature!
At the same time, they could use those martial scums as a meat shield to test the strength of the creature. If even the Kunlun experts could not defeat the creature, they could at least lure it to a remote area where the large nuclear weapons could be deployed!
Everyone approved of the plan silently and sat back to watch the huge creature nervously.
The Polaris Star’s projection started to appear bigger and bigger as it descended from the sky at a great speed. As it came nearer, its size increased rapidly, reaching 1,000 zhang, then 10,000 zhang!
Seeing how fast the huge star was falling, even if they knew it was just a projection, everyone still felt a deep chill in their hearts. A few people nearly leaped up and moved to launch a few rocket to shatter the constellation projection!
When the illusionary image reached the creature’s side, its diameter had reached 100,000 zhang!
Thick purple rays of light covered the ground. As the projection was still quite high in the sky, only a few cities could see the blazing purple constellation above them.

Ang!

The creature gave a fierce roar before it began to absorb the concentrated stellar energy. Like a whale swallowing water, the energy was swallowed into its body in generous amounts.
In just a short time, the huge constellation projection disappeared completely. Only the dragon-headed Star God was left alone in the sky, emitting a strong aura which could unsettle even the heavens.
Then, its head began to evolve into the human form, revealing a face like that of a middle-aged man. Its facial features were sharp and aggressive, looking with a domineering vibe, as if it were warning anyone not to challenge it.
This was the third stage of the Star Gods transformation, the perfect state! And furthermore, the strange phenomena had not ended yet; numerous more Star Gods also started to appear in succession!
In a short time, 28 Star Gods had appeared. With the completed third stage Polaris Star God as the heart, the other Star Gods stood around it in a mysterious formation.
The military officers who were watching the events here could feel their guts aching at this point. Just a single one of those creatures was enough to give them a headache, but 20 more turned up now. This was simply too much!
The radiance from 28 stellar constellations burst out, and a light ring made up of 28 differently colored stellar energy surged out wards like waves!
The light wave looked extremely beautiful, but its destructive might was terrifying beyond words. Wherever the light wave passed through, everything was destroyed!
Large patches of plants and animals died instantly, and only dried gray bones were left in their place. As the breeze blew through the area, the bones dissipated into dust.
The same thing happened for a nearby mountain. The mountain was instantly robbed of all the living creatures on it. With a light pinch, the rocks could be crushed into dust!

Kacha!


Boom!

A terrifying fissure suddenly appeared on the ground, spanning 50 kilometers in length. Countless tall mountains collapsed, turning into a pile of dust which rose into the air!
Even from a great distance, one could see a huge amount of powder suddenly rise up into the sky, like an incomparably large mushroom cloud!
‘Damn it! We can’t stand it anymore! Those things must be killed no matter what they are!


But we are talking about parameters of 50 kilometers here. How many lives are there in that area!

The more temperamental officers were fuming with rage. Once again, they suggested the use of the large weapons!
To them, the 50-kilometer radius was already destroyed. In that case, what was the harm in destroying it further!

We can’t! Do you know the impact of dropping nuclear weapons on our own lands?! We must remain calm and let those martial madmen deal with the monsters!

The crowd bickered and hollered at each other, and in just a short moment, the huge conference room resembled a wet market.
If it was just the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse, there was no way it could cause so much damage. A distance of 50 kilometers… no matter how strong a Transcendent realm expert was, it was not to such an extent!
If this had not happened in the deep mountains, a destructive might of this scale could directly decimate an entire city!
This shock wave was the accumulation of energy for tens of thousand years, all igniting in an instant!
Although it looked like 28 Star Gods had lit up the sky with their radiance, other than the perfected third stage Polaris Star God, the others were only peak first stage Star Gods who hadn’t even formed a head. That was the reason their heads looked blurry and wrapped in mist.
With hundreds to thousands of years time, the Star Gods only managed to reach the peak of the first stage. One could easily see how difficult it was to cultivate this Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique! If the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse’s original body was not one of royalty, allowing him to draw in the Crepe Myrtle Star, and if he didn’t have the purest blood essence gathered over a thousand years, it would not be possible to let a Star God reach the stage 3 perfected level!
But although 27 of the 28 Star Gods were only at the peak of stage 1, with the stage 3 Star God as the center of the stellar diagram, they could no longer be viewed as just normal peak stage 1 Star Gods!
Just the act of opening all 28 stellar acupoints was an amazing feat by itself. And once all 28 stellar acupoints were open, a grand completion special effect would be unlocked.
The dust cloud caused everything to look blurry and unrealistic. The 28 Star Gods slowly disappeared, and in the next instant, they reappeared before the bronze coffin and sunk into it!
Inside the bronze coffin lay a handsome man, slightly taller than a normal person. The man’s eyes were closed peacefully and his body was dressed in a graceful black dragon robe. Every item beside him was a rare treasure. A blood-red sword about five chi long lay by his side, its color so deep that it looked like it would drip blood soon.
Numerous spots on the man’s body lit up lightly. These were the stellar acupoints on his body; as the Star Gods returned to his body, the pale white body turned a shade rosier.
Throughout the hundreds and thousands of years, the man’s body had not changed in the slightest nor decomposed at all.
The perfected stage 3 Star God appeared in a chaotic black space, its two eyes surveying the surroundings.

Ang!

A dragon’s roar rang out through the cavern, sounding like the first heavenly lightning that broke through the primordial chaos, shaking the heavens!

Ka-cha!

Countless debris was crushed by the sound wave, turning into a black and white halo.
The countless halos formed the contors of a human-shaped figure, which looked exactly like the man in the coffin!
A nine cun tall soul started to form; the Star God immediately moved the stellar acupoint and dove into the soul, settling between its eyebrows!
A purple light appeared between the eyebrows of the figure outside the coffin. If the purple light was magnified thousands to ten thousands of times, the full appearance of the Crepe Myrtle Star would be seen clearly!
The corners of the man’s lips slowly rose up in a light smile!
Time slowly passed, and the dust cloud in the air dissipated with the wind. The heaven-encompassing dust cloud began to sweep outwards like a sandstorm to other locations.
Large amounts of sunlight beamed down onto the bronze coffin, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the incomparably tough coffin actually began to melt slowly.

Clack, clack!

Mo Dao’s teeth were clattering uncontrollably with fear, and his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.
Throughout his lengthy career as a grave robber, he’d seen countless things unimaginable to many people. But this scene before him was still the most terrifying one!
His entire body trembled like a leaf, and his eyes were vacant as he remained rooted to the spot with fright. In the coffin, a handsome man who looked around 25 or 26 years old slowly stood up from the coffin and looked coldly at Mo Dao.
The faint light around Mo Dao’s body did not give him any sense of security at all. It was like an ant standing before a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even if the ant was capable of lifting things several times its own weight, everything was pointless in the face of such a vast difference in the level of power!
