Chapter 773: Chapter 28: Saint Patrols Heaven, Three Realms Bow Down
Boom!
Unaware that their actions had resulted in the severe weakening of the upper limit of [Douluo Decree·Golden Light Divine Curse].
At this moment, Lu Huaijin was staring dumbfoundedly at the twisted star in mid-air.
That was the true form of Shanggui Star.
A star so enormous that it covered almost half of the starry sky.
From Lu Huaijin’s current perspective, the star appeared to continuously grow larger until it overshadowed the entire sky.
[This is impossible!]
Accompanied by a roar of anger or terror.
The surface of Shanggui Star began to surge violently.
Unlike ordinary stars, the surface of Shanggui Star is made up of oceans of liquid metal.
When these oceans of liquid metal began to surge, a canyon so vast it almost tore the whole planet apart slowly formed.
With the formation of that massive canyon, endless liquid metal began to sink into its depths.
Thus, a structure of rust-red, pitch-black, and bright white was born, together forming the indefinable true body of the Star God.
"That is... an eye!?"
Staring dumbfounded at the gigantic "eye of the star," Ying Long trembled and almost groaned.
As the eyeball symbolizing Shanggui Star Monarch slightly rotated, the vast ocean of liquid metal reflected the entire scene of Tiangong.
To be honest, Ying Long had seen such massive beings before.
Tracing back twenty thousand years, Ying Long even personally witnessed the "Taiyi Opening Heaven and Earth" incident.
Yet, the current form of Shanggui Star Monarch still gave Ying Long an innate fear of colossal creatures.
The whole planet is a giant eyeball.
And this eyeball is now closely attached to Gouchen Celestial Palace, overlooking all living beings as if viewing mere ants.
To make a possibly inappropriate analogy.
Ying Long felt like he was a fly trapped inside a bottle, with Shanggui Star Monarch watching him through the bottle’s opening.
This feeling of being overlooked and belittled was far more direct than observing Taiyi’s pathfinding.
"No, it’s still falling!?"
"Wait, what did you do? Why is it crashing into us!?"
Soon, Ying Long realized something was off.
Because Shanggui Star had not stopped its descent upon the Star Monarch’s arrival.
Instead, it continued to rush towards the current Gouchen Celestial Palace at an even more terrifying speed.
The "eyeball" transformed from a planet revealed human-like anger and fear.
"I..."
Equally unprepared for the extraordinary power of his decree, Lu Huaijin finally snapped back to reality.
"I just... wanted to drive it away."
Saying this, Lu Huaijin’s voice paused slightly.
"But that decree seems to have been too forceful, it exiled Shanggui Star Monarch from the Star God system."
Just as Lu Huaijin said, Shanggui Star Monarch was being stripped of the Star Monarch title.
The phenomenon occurring now was merely the process of Shanggui Star Monarch losing the Star Monarch rank.
In other words, Shanggui Star was dying, and Shanggui Star Monarch was reverting to their pre-pathfinding state.
"You called me a half-baked?"
"You’re the real half-baked here!"
"Before using such a big move, didn’t you evaluate its limits!? "
Stripping a Star Monarch of their rank, causing a Pathfinder to lose their path was something Ying Long could only dream of happening, let alone in such a dramatic fashion.
"What should we do next? Do you have a contingency plan?"
Faced with Ying Long’s almost enraged questioning, Lu Huaijin fell into silence.
"Damn! I knew it would be like this!"
Seeing this, Ying Long instantly realized.
He didn’t even have time to recall his Dragon Pearl, turning around to roar at the gods and mountain people in the back.
"Evacuate!"
"Everyone immediately leave Gouchen Celestial Palace; the situation is entirely out of control!"
"Cultivators below the Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation realm come to me, the others take the ’Sky Traverse Ship’ and leave!"
Not waiting for everyone to react, Ying Long raised his volume again and shouted.
"Fengyu, Qinglong, Lv Chuan, the three of you initiate the array immediately, strip all Tiangong structures outside of the ’Central Repository’!"
"Lu Huaijin! You’re responsible for covering the retreat for me!"
"Ensure the safe evacuation of all personnel!"
With Ying Long’s orders being issued one after another, everyone decisively abandoned the Tiangong doomed to be unsalvageable.
As for Lu Huaijin, who was ordered to cover the retreat?
She couldn’t afford to care about her higher status and rank compared to Ying Long at this moment.
Seizing the moment when Ying Long gathered all logistics personnel, Lu Huaijin took initiative, soaring toward the Shanggui Star about to crash into Gouchen Celestial Palace.
......................................................
"What’s going on!?"
Gou Chen, who was fighting outside, was unaware of what was happening inside.
From his perspective, he was still entangled with the living thunderstorm transformed from the deceased Fenglong, when suddenly a gigantic star appeared out of nowhere in the starry sky not far away.
The manner in which that star appeared was abrupt, and its transformation was incredibly swift.
In just the blink of an eye, Shanggui Star opened its "eye."
Then, an enormous gravitational pull suddenly formed, dragging everything to its current location.
Be it the apostles of the stars or the collapsing Gouchen Celestial Palace...
The furious Shanggui Star Monarch indiscriminately swept away everything blocking its path while falling.
"What is that?"
Silently, the previously "dead" Fenglong was reborn within Gou Chen, and gazed stunned at the direction behind Shanggui Star.
This is another major advantage of the "Divine Control Technique."
As long as the death isn’t one where the Divine Soul is utterly annihilated, Fenglong can quickly resurrect by leveraging the Life Essence Qi within Gou Chen’s body.
Because Fenglong’s Primordial Spirit is actually confined within Gou Chen.
The external moving body is merely an insignificant avatar.
Theoretically, as long as Gou Chen remains unscathed, even if Fenglong dies a million more times, the only consumption would be Gou Chen’s Life Essence Qi.
"That’s... Doushuai Temple!?"
Following Fenglong’s gaze, Gou Chen immediately noticed the ambiguously appearing palace.
That palace exhibited the form of Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams, with eight palace lamps illuminating the perimeter.
As a mountain person, Gou Chen immediately recognized it as Tao Ancestor’s abode in the Celestial Realm—Doushuai Temple.
Compared to the grandeur of Shanggui Star, Doushuai Temple’s appearance was soundless, and its disappearance was equally swift, as if it never existed.
Yet this fleeting Doushuai Temple reminded Gou Chen of a prophecy that had been circulating since ancient times.
"Saints patrol the heavens, the Three Realms bow their heads!"
