Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 538: Alien star eater

Views:

After Pang Jian entered the dark prison, Fan Di thought that it would be difficult for him to meet Pang Jian again, and he felt that Pang Jian would not come back.

Since a god like Him has the ability to enter other worlds, wouldn’t he be able to plunder and obtain the rare treasures of that world

Since Pang Jian could get in, he could naturally get out.

He could easily get what he liked and leave in time before the powerful people in that world could react.

If there is no one stronger than him in a certain world, he can occupy the mountain and become the king, educating the intelligent tribes there and making them regard him as a god.

The gods from the outer space often do this when they enter a world with the suffix "realm".

Such incidents often occur in the ancient demon world.

Fan Di had only heard of the legend of the God of Humankind and had never come into contact with him before, so he didn't know much about the God of Humankind.

He just thought that Pang Jian acted in the same way as the gods of various tribes.

Pang Jian's return greatly surprised him, and he became even more cautious.

Knowing clearly what His situation was and what He longed for, Pang Jian still dared to come back to see Him again. Doesn't that mean he has no fear of Him at all

"There is a world called Dark Prison, where the Dark Spirit Clan lives. In the Dark Prison, there is a powerful creature named Star Devourer. Not long ago, he moved a star and directly put it into the Dark Prison."

Pang Jian shared his findings.

"Dark Prison, Dark Spirit Tribe? This tribe... has been silent for a long time." Fan Di, as a demon god of the ancient demon tribe in the outer domain, thought for a while and said, "I remember that a long time ago, there was a spirit who called himself the God of Shadow, who came from the Dark Prison in the strange fog."

"But this god died soon after stepping out of the Dark Prison. After him, no new gods from the Dark Prison moved outside the sky."

"As for the Star Devourer you mentioned, it can pull a star and drag it into the Dark Prison to devour it. I feel that the Star Devourer is most likely an alien spirit."

When talking about "alien spirits", Fan Di became a little excited.

"What is a strange spirit?" Pang Jian asked humbly.

"Unconventional creatures that have souls but no flesh and blood are collectively called alien spirits. Like you and me, as well as the powerful people and gods of various races, all have flesh and blood bodies." Fan Di was a little embarrassed. He looked down at his golden skeleton body and said, "I just had my flesh and blood corroded by the strange fog. I originally had flesh and blood."

Pang Jian nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The spirits are different."

"They may be trees, mountains, rocks, seas, or other strange metal objects that have awakened wisdom. Alien spirits can also advance and grow stronger, and have impressive power. However, in the eyes of the gods of the outer realms, most of the alien spirits are materials for them to forge artifacts."

"The Star Devourer you mentioned should be one of the alien spirits."

"I vaguely remember that this kind of spirit eats mountains and rivers in the early stage, refines the broken earth in the middle stage, and finally has the ability to devour stars and absorb the nutrients inside the stars."

"He calls himself the Star Devourer and can pull the stars into the Dark Prison. He must be a very terrifying spirit."

Fan Di looked at his condition again and lamented, "In my current condition, if I encounter a strange spirit that dares to plot against the stars, I have no chance of winning at all."

Pang Jian remained silent.

He thought of Pang Ling, who was known as the "Tree of the World". The Erosion Vine was originally a small tree. It initially assimilated the Qianli Yunze, then the Tianyun Shattered Earth, and then the Tianyuan Shattered Earth.

Now, He has annexed more of the broken land.

But He did not refine and devour the earth. Instead, He transformed the broken pieces into a territory that belonged exclusively to Him.

Aren’t the trees that are not flesh and blood creatures but have wisdom the strange spirits that Fan Di mentioned

"Have you heard of the World Tree?" Pang Jian asked.

"Of course! The title of the World Tree is really too great."

Fan Di responded immediately, "That is one of the highest level spirits!"

"The Star Devourer you mentioned can only pull a star and slowly devour it. Rumor has it that the most powerful World Tree can dominate an entire galaxy, and its branches can penetrate the stars!"

"According to the records of our ancient demon clan, there was such a world tree, which was cut down by the combined efforts of the gods."

"That world tree, floating in the depths of the galaxy, seems to have devoured several star regions, making many stars dim."

"After he was chopped off and burned to ashes, there were no new World Trees roaming the outer space. As alien spirits, the Star Devourer of Dark Hell is not on the same level as the World Tree."

Fan Di's towering golden skeleton gestured a few times in the strange fog.

His joints, the bony wings behind him, and his claws stretched outward and formed a series of lightning balls.

Dozens of blazing thunder balls suddenly appeared on His bones, which were the stars He imitated.

Pang Jian suddenly had a picture in his mind.

An ancient tree so large that it was beyond his imagination was rooted in a galaxy, with its branches extending infinitely outward, actually penetrating every star.

How magnificent? How terrifying

Pang Ling’s background is so powerful

If He grows to its full potential and stays in Purgatory forever, will His branches eventually be able to penetrate all the broken earth and land

If such a day really comes, wouldn't the entire vast purgatory and all levels of heaven and earth become a force that He can grab nutrients from at will to strengthen His own power

Who can deal with Him like that

Thinking of this, Pang Jian, the creator of Pang Ling, felt vaguely uneasy.

He silently made up his mind that if possible, he must bring Pang Ling out of Purgatory and not let Him destroy the Purgatory world.

"By the way, what do you need to recover from your current condition?"

Pang Jian suddenly changed the subject.

He saw Fan Di's struggle and hesitation, and knew what Fan Di was struggling with.

It is actually very simple to eliminate the evil thoughts in Fan Di's heart.

—As long as He sees hope and can maintain His life, He will not take risks.

This is a real demon god. If he can recover his peak strength and if he can be brought to purgatory, he will be able to compete with that old thunder dragon.

Moreover, demon gods like Fandi are inherently hostile to the gods of other races.

He also comes from the ancient demon world.

If He were to go to Purgatory, He would be a beacon of hope for the demon race, telling them that outside Purgatory, in the sea of stars, there is a place called Ancient Demon Realm where they can survive.

Inside Purgatory, the main conflict between the demon race and the human race is that they were not able to obtain the territory they deserved after the war.

If the heavenly ban could be broken one day, the demon race would be able to step out of purgatory, and the ancient demon world would be their best habitat outside the sky.

"Flesh and blood that contain vitality, crystals and wood that contain the power of thunder and lightning, and medicinal juice and leaves that can restore soul energy!" Fan Di couldn't help but scream.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

After saying this, Pang Jian returned to the dark prison.

In this alternative world, above the sky, there are a few stars whose light is not very dazzling.

All the beings living in the dark prison can see those stars by looking up.

They are eternal and unchanging.

Unlike Purgatory, Hell is inactive and remains eternally still.

The sun and the moon only exist in legends.

Tens of thousands of years ago, there was an extraordinary being who broke the heavenly ban and stepped out of the dark prison, and saw the sun and the moon in the external starry sky.

The Dark Spirits' own god had described it to them in detail when he communicated with them through the altar.

Therefore, the members of the Dark Spirit Clan knew that in the starry sky, there was an extremely scorching sun and a bright moon.

They are also full of yearning and longing for the outer space, thinking how great it would be if one day they could step out of the dark prison and take a look at the vast starry sky.

But the arrival of the Star Devourers made them grow wildly, but it also killed their possibility of soaring into the sky.

In the Tissot ship.

After the seven elders from the Dark Spirit Clan built an altar, they waited silently on the side.

The hexagonal altar is mainly made of dark star stone, supplemented by various diamond crystals containing spatial power. Saint Cui Ling tries to communicate with the outside world on this altar.

At this moment, Cui Ling, wearing an exquisite robe, is using the power of her blood to resonate with the altar.

This was the seventy-fifth time she sat on the altar since she was chosen as the Saint. She used her body and soul as coordinates, eager to get the attention of the God of Shadows.

Nine hundred years ago, the last Shadow God, born from the Dark Spirit Clan, successfully broke the heavenly ban and stepped into the outer world.

In the next two hundred years, the Dark Spirit Clan members in the Dark Prison could often communicate with Him through the altar and learn from Him about the wonders of the outer starry sky.

But in the following seven hundred years, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air and never responded to his people again.

Five hundred years ago, a strange creature called Star Devourer suddenly appeared in the Dark Prison.

In the early days, the Galactus only devoured very small pieces of earth, absorbing all the energy and nutrients inside the pieces.

The Devourer gradually grew and began to devour the continents, causing the three continents to become dead places one after another.

Eventually, Galactus gained the power to pull in outer stars and feed on smaller ones.

The strong men of the Dark Spirit Clan did not take it too seriously at first and did not take the Star Devourer seriously.

By the time they realized that something was wrong and united to attack and suppress the Star Devourer, the Star Devourer had already become a force to be reckoned with.

The Dark Elf warriors paid a heavy price, but only inflicted heavy damage to the Devourer.

Afterwards, after the Devourer recovered from his injuries, he launched a revenge and devoured a continent of the Dark Prison.

From then on, Galactus became the nightmare of Dark Prison, and no living creature could compete with him anymore.

While he was feeding on the land of the Dark Prison, he was also hunting down the ninth-level warriors of the Dark Spirit Clan and feeding on their souls, leaving the Dark Spirit Clan devastated.

A powerful ninth-level warrior of the Dark Spirit Clan will be found by the Star Devourer and have his soul sucked away before his bloodline is upgraded to the tenth level.

Over the past hundreds of years, the number of warriors with level nine bloodline in this tribe has become increasingly rare, and level ten... has become an unattainable dream. They have also lost all possibilities of breaking through the sky ban and stepping out of the dark prison.

On the hexagonal altar for praying to the gods, the spatial disturbances slowly subsided.

No strange will descended, and no light and shadow symbols appeared on this ancient altar.

"High Priest, the God of Shadows... has most likely fallen. For seven hundred years, He has not responded to us. If He received the message and knew that Galactus was ravaging His homeland, how could He turn a blind eye?"

A young member of the Dark Spirit Clan cried in despair, "My father has just broken through to the ninth level of bloodline, and I can't stop him! If he reaches the ninth level of bloodline, he will fall into the sight of the Star Devourer. Why does he have to seek his own death?"

The high priest, whose face was covered with age spots and who knew how long he had lived, shouted angrily, "Do you think Tianlu is really stupid? He saw the Star Devourer and pulled another star into the Dark Prison. He knew that the Star Devourer would not have time to take care of other things for the time being, so he decisively promoted to the ninth level of bloodline!"

"What he wants is to break through his bloodline to level ten again before the Star Devourer refines the star!"

"Only when you reach level ten will you have a glimmer of hope to break the Heavenly Ban and step out of this forbidden world!"

"The chance is indeed very slim, but it still exists after all!"

"He is the strongest of our Dark Spirit Clan in the past hundred years. He has been dormant in the eighth-level bloodline for many years, just waiting for this opportunity! We must pray that the Star Devourer can absorb this star long enough for Tianlu to raise his bloodline to the tenth level, so that he can break the Heavenly Ban and come out!"

"Someone must go beyond the stars and grow up in the outer galaxies before returning to deal with Galactus."

The high priest looked up at the starry sky and said hopefully, "When the star fell, I saw some strange shadows. They should be the gods from outside. Cui Ling, you continue to resonate with the altar and spread the movement to the outside world. If there is no response from the God of Shadows, you can tell other gods that there is a Star Devourer in our Dark Prison."

Saint Cui Ling lowered her head and said quietly, "Only gods born from our Dark Prison have a chance to return, and it is equally difficult. Gods who are not from the Dark Prison cannot break the heavenly ban even if they know the location of the Dark Prison. High Priest, these are the basic rules of the Dark Prison that you taught me, have you forgotten them?"

Hearing this, the light of desire in the high priest's eyes suddenly went out.

"Yes, the alien gods from the outer realms cannot come to the Dark Prison at all. I am old, and I am beginning to forget. When I was still the high priest, I was afraid that I would not see the disappearance of Galactus."

His face was gloomy and he shook his head and sighed gently.

A group of Dark Spirit tribe members also became depressed, not knowing when hope would come.

In the strange fog.

Pang Jian extended his spiritual sense and listened silently for a while, confirming that there was complex energy in the Dark Prison.

The power of plants, the strange power of water, the power of stars, the power of cold and other feminine and cold forces are mixed together to form the power foundation of the Dark Prison.

It feels like some spiritual place with mixed powers in Purgatory, but the energy is much weaker.

He also noticed the eternal immutability of the starry sky, and knew that this was a world without daylight, always in darkness.

"No wonder it's called the Dark Realm. There's no sun or moon, only starlight, so the sky is naturally dark. But it's still better than the fourth realm of Purgatory. At least you can still see the stars here."

After muttering a few words, Pang Jian was determined to have a chat with the members of the Dark Spirit Clan.

“Whoosh!”

Like a god descending from heaven, he suddenly appeared at the altar where Saint Cui Ling was seated.

The moment he stood on the altar with his immortal soul, an extremely cold star buried in his chest caused abnormal movements in many spatial veins inside the altar.

An aura that echoed with a certain god from outer space suddenly passed through the sky and soared into the sky, dissipating and waving like a lighthouse.

And only those who are in tune with it can capture and perceive this vibration with their soul.

"Pang Jian!"

Goddess Han Jing screamed in the Moon Temple.
