What the hell is this

The cultivators in the Star Region recently discovered a strange phenomenon.

The dead stars in the Star Region seem to be gradually decreasing.

Some commonly seen dead stars would suddenly disappear, not knowing where they went, and could not be found.

Although the cultivators were puzzled, they did not take it too seriously. After all, dead stars were not some rare resources, they were things that were left in the Star Region without anyone taking care of them.

And because they would more or less affect the cultivators' state of mind, the dead stars were somewhat disliked by the cultivators. Now that they have disappeared, it was like the garbage that had accumulated by the roadside for a long time being picked up.

The reason why the cultivators were surprised was that they were curious how such a big dead star could suddenly disappear.

And the person who "picked up the trash" was Chen Xia.

He devoured these dead stars, the ones he didn't finish devouring he took back to the Dead Star Region to slowly absorb later.

The devoured and absorbed dead stars should not be discarded, placing them in the Dead Star Region can also serve as a habitat for souls to nurture even more powerful souls.

Chen Xia's goal right now was to move all the dead stars from the entire Star Region to the Dead Star Region, then devour and absorb them.

This could accelerate his cultivation, allowing him to break through from the first heaven of the Heaven Mending Realm to the second heaven within a hundred years.

For a cultivator in the Heaven Mending Realm, this was an extremely terrifying cultivation speed, almost no one could keep up with him.

Other people's cultivation was step-by-step, first reaching the spiritual power standard, then comprehending the Great Dao, breaking through the restrictions of the state of mind, and finally advancing.

Chen Xia didn't need to, just devouring dead stars was enough, the more he devoured, the more powerful he became.

What stood out was just simple and clear.

Moreover, he didn't need to comprehend the Dao with this cultivation method, ever since he devoured and fused with the Dead Star Region, he was the entire Dead Star Region.

Have you ever heard of the Dead Star Region comprehending the Dao?

There was no such thing.

He only needed to reach sufficient dead star power to naturally break through.

In fact, it was wrong to measure Chen Xia's combat power by his realm now, it should be represented by the number of dead stars.

Chen Xia thought for a moment, his external avatar's combat power was about the same as the seventh heaven of the Heaven Mending Realm, which was why the Old Fisherman could beat him up, it was inevitable.

So now he rarely went out, mainly afraid of encountering some reclusive top-level masters again, and then get his muscles and bones stretched by the masters again.

In fact, this was Chen Xia overthinking.

In the entire Star Region, he was already considered a reclusive top-level master.

As for existences like the Old Fisherman, it could only be said that they were cheats left behind by the previous generation, and were tightly restricted in the Blue Sky Sword Sea.

The number of Quasi-Saint powerhouses in the entire Star Region was very limited, there weren't even enough to fill one hand, only about four sporadic ones.

Among these two or three, it also included the deceased Old Fisherman and the former headmaster of Blue Sky Sword Sea.

In other words, there were at most only two people in the Star Region now who could be called Saints.

Chen Xia scratched his head and carefully recalled.

The Saints and Quasi-Saints in the Star Region, he had heard about them when he was in Blue Sky Sword Sea.

There were a total of four people, Blue Sky Sword Sea had two, of which only the headmaster of Blue Sky Sword Sea was the only true Saint among the four, the others were all Quasi-Saints.

There was no need to say much about the Old Fisherman, he was the Quasi-Saint Chen Xia understood the most, and had indeed fought against.

As for the other two Quasi-Saints, Chen Xia had only heard of their titles, never having seen them in person, and had not even seen their portraits. It was said that they had been in seclusion for thousands of years, with unknown life and death.

After the last reckoning of the Great Dao, these two Quasi-Saint masters may have already passed away.

If that was the case, Chen Xia would definitely laugh out loudly in sadness.

So at present, the only visible Quasi-Saint combat power in the Star Region was the Old Fisherman alone.

Beneath him, Heaven Mending Realm cultivators were also very rare. This could be seen at the end of Blue Sky Sword Sea’s era, when the three elders were only at the first heaven of Heaven Mending Realm, while the headmaster was a Saint.

There was no need to elaborate on Sword Venerable Emperor who still existed in the Sword Sea.

It could be said that what Blue Sky Sword Sea lacked the most at that time were the pillars of the Heaven Mending Realm.

They couldn't even take out a cultivator at the fifth heaven of the Heaven Mending Realm, it could only be said that the generational gap was terrible.

This was also a sign of the impending end of the great world. After the end of the great world, Heaven Mending Realm cultivators would emerge like bamboo shoots after rain.

For example, some of the former Fourteen Sons of Vast Sky had already entered the Heaven Mending Realm and stood at the top of today's Star Region, waiting for the future battle for the emperor’s path.

Emperor Capital and Qiu Li would catch up later without falling too far behind.

The only one who was somewhat dangerous was probably Li Yang.

The last time Chen Xia made his move, he saw Li Yang and roughly gauged his strength to be at the seventh layer of the Sea Extinguishing Realm, still having a long way to go before the Heaven Mending Realm.

In the battle for the emperor’s path later, falling one step behind could mean falling behind step by step afterward.

It was said that the Fourteen Sons of Vast Sky were the seedlings for fourteen emperors, but not everyone could become an emperor.

In an era of tens of thousands of years, there would only be a few people who could walk out on the emperor’s path. Even if you were outstanding, you would still need to be outstanding among the outstanding, walking at the forefront.

You could also bloom late, but once bloomed, you must surpass everyone.

Of course, Chen Xia was not included in the fight for the emperor’s path.

He didn’t need any emperor’s path, he only needed to wait day after day, year after year, repeating thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Eventually, one day,

He would be invincible.

This was Chen Xia’s blessing, and also his curse.

He sat on the lonely dead star, gazing at the profound starry sky with the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

Wasn't immortality like this?

In the Realm.

Wang Yangzi had been restless ever since he returned home that day.

He was afraid.

Afraid that given Chen Xia's personality, he would not get along with the other six cultivators participating in the battle of the Great Death Realm.

This was very likely, after all, these six cultivators were famously prominent existences in the upper class of the Realm, with powerful families behind them, and they were all Heaven Mending Realm cultivators. Looking down on a Dan Dao Grandmaster in the Sea Extinguishing Realm was very possible.

In the end, strength reigned supreme in the Realm. In front of these future leaders of prestigious families, alchemy was only something to adorn one’s strength and could not be considered much.

If Chen Xia was still arrogant and overbearing, it was very possible that they would fight.

Thinking of this, Wang Yangzi was worried that Chen Xia’s life would be endangered. Even if nothing dangerous happened, being seriously injured would not be good either.

After all, Chen Xia had a Quasi-Emperor solidly backing him up.

Worried, Wang Yangzi went to carefully investigate Chen Xia’s past deeds.

After this investigation...

He became even more afraid.

Not afraid that something might happen to Chen Xia, but afraid that the other six cultivators might not make it back.

Mainly because Chen Xia’s deeds were simply too horrifying.

Beating cultivators at the same realm was like beating dogs, crushing ordinary Heaven Mending Realm cultivators, and later directly crippling the Heaven Mending Realm fifth heaven cultivator of Triumphant Mountain.

And now the information collected told Wang Yangzi that Chen Xia was just a seventh layer Sea Extinguishing Realm cultivator.

???

What kind of seventh layer Sea Extinguishing Realm cultivator was this?

Not even one at the seventieth layer could fight like this!
