Deep in the Bailing Mountain, in the mountain forest.
Birds and beasts were startled and fled in all directions.
Suddenly a violent wind roared, and in an instant, faint starlight emerged on the surrounding trees, flowers and plants, which was the star power between heaven and earth.
The star power condensed in midair, forming a huge ten-zhang vortex of star power hovering above a black-clothed teenager with characteristics of azure dragon and white tiger.
At this moment, Mo Lao descended but did not dare to approach.
Mo Lao's eyes were filled with shock as he watched Ye Xiu sitting cross-legged in cultivation, the ten-zhang star power vortex was a sign that one was about to break through to the Star Force Realm.
What surprised him immensely was that he could feel the star power in the bodies of surrounding creatures rapidly draining. Within a radius of ten meters, the flowers, plants and trees had completely withered.
Buzz!
A muffled trembling sound suddenly erupted from the star power vortex above Ye Xiu, Mo Lao was shocked, worried that something might happen to Ye Xiu, but just as he was ready to lend a hand, he discovered that the ten-zhang star power vortex grew taller again!
Eleven zhang!
Twelve zhang!
In the end it stopped at a full twelve zhang!
Mo Lao looked up to the sky, the shock in his eyes was indescribable in words.
Indeed, a ten-zhang star power vortex was the most normal manifestation when most people broke through to the Star Force Realm, and it was not uncommon for some to exceed ten zhang. In fact, there were quite a number of people who could surpass a ten-zhang vortex, but at least they were all above the fourth-rank Star Origin. As for ninth-rank Star Origins, they could form a thirty-zhang star power vortex when breaking through.
But damn, this was twelve zhang!
What kind of concept was this?
The taller the star power vortex when breaking through to the Star Force Realm, the more abundant the star power that the Star Origin could contain.
And Ye Xiu reaching twelve zhang meant that the vigor of star power he now possessed completely surpassed that of a ninth-rank Star Origin by a large margin!
This made Mo Lao suspect that Ye Xiu might not actually be a first-rank Star Origin after all!
Could there be a Star Origin even more amazing than the ninth-rank?
Before long, the twelve-zhang star power vortex suddenly raged like a flood, pouring into Ye Xiu's body unhindered.
Ye Xiu at this moment was like a bottomless black hole, wantonly devouring the star power between heaven and earth.
At this time, the aura within him also grew increasingly powerful, bursting out with such great strength that cracks appeared on the giant rock beneath where he sat.
One minute later.
Looking at the changes in his Star Origin now, Ye Xiu was slightly surprised. His originally pure white Star Origin was now emanating a yellow glow. Ye Xiu was startled, his Star Origin had become second-rank!
He remembered Mo Lao saying that Star Origins were ranked from white, yellow, cyan, green, blue, purple, red, gold to black. Yellow was naturally second-rank.
Ye Xiu was puzzled.
But it was gratifying that today he had fully comprehended the first layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Element, grasping all one hundred star points, which also increased his strength by one million catties. Adding to the fact that he had just broken through to the Star Force Realm and obtained another massive boost in strength, Ye Xiu roughly estimated that his current strength should be around twenty thousand catties.
Twenty thousand is not my favorite number, Ye Xiu smiled and opened his eyes. Seeing the surrounding dead flowers, plants and trees, he was shocked.
Damn, just breaking through had killed so many creatures.
It was really cruel.
Congratulations Holy Son, congratulations on finally becoming a powerhouse of the Star Force Realm! Mo Lao's loud laughter rang out.
Ye Xiu looked over and said with a wry smile: Mo Lao, I just broke through to the Star Force Realm, how could the destruction be so devastating?
Mo Lao smiled and said, Does Holy Son know that when you first broke through, you triggered a twelve-zhang star power vortex?
Ye Xiu shook his head, what does that have to do with me?
Mo Lao said, Of course it's related. When breaking through to the Star Force Realm, thirty zhang is the maximum that the star power between heaven and earth can form. But thirty zhang was far from enough for you to break through, so you absorbed the star power within the surrounding creatures, thus forming the twelve-zhang vortex.
Ye Xiu suddenly understood and continued asking, Right, Mo Lao, when I went to see the nine fairy sisters this time, did they agree to let me return to the Azure Dragon Kingdom today?
Mo Lao smiled, The nine fairies naturally agreed.
That's good. It's getting late now, we still have half a day's journey, let's set off now Mo Lao. Ye Xiu said.
Although it was noon now, it would still take half a day to travel back.
Mo Lao laughed and said, Don't be impatient, Holy Son.
This time, Dream Spirit Fairy specifically let me take the Purple Winged Roc as a mount, she said it was to make an impressive scene.
After speaking, Mo Lao whistled. The earth suddenly shook violently and a huge purple roc descended with a thud, leaving visible cracks on the ground where it landed steadily next to Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu's mouth was wide agape as he stared at the Purple Winged Roc in astonishment. Damn, this is way too big!
Even with his 1.8 meter height, he wasn't even as tall as one of the roc's legs.
Mo Lao laughed and said, Holy Son, this Purple Winged Roc has the strength comparable to a peak Saint stage powerhouse.
Damn! Mo Lao, peak Saint stage! So Fairy Dream Spirit wanted me to ride this back? Ye Xiu's eyes flashed brightly. Even in the Azure Dragon Kingdom, there was no demonic beast this powerful. It must be known that a peak Saint stage demonic beast had combat power comparable to a human Saint Emperor powerhouse!
Riding this back would be more than just saving face, it would shake the entire imperial capital of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!
Indeed.
Alright, let's set off directly Holy Son, or it'll be late. With a point of Mo Lao's finger, a white cloud floated in front of Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu stepped onto the cloud and landed on the Purple Winged Roc.
Mo Lao leapt up nimbly, standing in front of Ye Xiu. He whistled again and the Purple Winged Roc let out a cry, shooting towards the sky.
Sonic booms continuously sounded out as Ye Xiu watched the pierced clouds in front of him. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
He knew that upon returning this time, his biggest opponent would be Yue Wuya!
Yue Wuya had become a disciple of the North Ice Star Emperor and was now the legitimate Holy Son of the Celestial Origin Saint Palace.
While Ye Xiu's identity as Holy Son could not be revealed for now, and he did not want to rely on the status of the nine fairy sisters. He wanted to defeat Yue Wuya with his own ability, to tell everyone in the Azure Dragon Kingdom that Yue Wuya was no match for him, and the glory of Supreme Commander could only belong to his father!
Dad, I'm back!
