Chapter 7123 The Four Constellations
The divine bird was a bright scarlet color, and raging flames flowed across its feathers. It felt as if it could shatter heaven and earth just by spreading its wings.
“Springtime of youth!”
Miao Yin’s voice was like a heavenly flute. The figures on the one hundred eight trees also became so passionate that their voices caused even Long Chen’s blood to heat up. The divine bird spread its wings, and countless starry feathers rained down; every single feather contained the power of a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign.
Long Chen’s astral energy had fallen into Miao Yin’s hands. Adding in her own comprehension and law power, she managed to unleash a truly terrifying attack.
Starlight flashed on top of Long Chen’s fists. He did not take a single step back, and instead unleashed punch after punch that shattered the feathers. Starlight exploded in the sky like millions of fireworks. The world shuddered from the impact.
“I didn’t expect my astral energy to have such power in your hands! You’ve surprised me!” Long Chen sighed in wonder as he continued to block. It seemed he really had underestimated this world. Miao Yin’s ability was truly breathtaking.
“This is just a trick not worthy of your praise. My manifestation is able to absorb other people’s energy and turn it into a seed. However, it ultimately belongs to them, not me. Even though I can replicate it, those things ultimately aren’t my Dao. If anything, your astral energy is the actually frightening thing. If I had obtained an astral seed earlier, perhaps the entire Heavenly Sound Sect would have been under my control by now.” Miao Yin sighed. She truly wished she had met Long Chen earlier.
Her ability was truly heaven-defying. She could take other people’s energy and plant it in her own soil, letting it take root and sprout and bear fruit. However, it ultimately wasn’t her power. It was not her path, not something she had comprehended on her own. Ultimately, it was impossible to achieve a perfect merger and control. Thus, these seeds were always used merely to understand her opponent’s power and weaknesses so that she could come up with a strategy.
Yet after absorbing Long Chen’s astral energy, she noticed something different. Perhaps it was because Long Chen was giving it to her of his own free will, or maybe there was some other reason, but his astral energy seemed to find a home inside of her. His astral energy was taking root in her petals. That resulted in Miao Yin being capable of controlling astral energy almost immediately. The wild astral energy actually became strangely obedient in her hands, as if she had been born with the ability to control it.
If she had such terrifying strength right from the start, then how strong would she be once she got used to it? She could only imagine that possibility. If only she had met Long Chen earlier, then not only would the Heavenly Sound Sect be in her hands already, but all her plans would have been accelerated. She definitely wouldn’t have given her opponents any chance to develop!
“Mister Long Chen, watch out. So falls autumn rain!”
Suddenly, Miao Yin’s dance changed once more. It slowed down, as did the music. The fluctuations of the world also seemed to quiet down. But at the same time, a desolate aura of death rose.
The divine bird in the air fell apart. The petals gathered into the form of a snow-white tiger, and the tiger’s starlight also became white instead of red. Then, the tiger raised its head and roared. The people slumbering on the battleship all spat out blood and fell into a deeper state of unconsciousness.
Miao Yin jumped in fright. She had actually forgotten about them! Fortunately, the battleship was far enough away that they weren’t killed. These people were her recruits, after all; all of them were very talented and had immense potential. Some were skilled in combat, some in subterfuge; some might not be talented in cultivation, but were talented in management. To sum up, not one of these people was useless to her. Every single one of them had their strengths.
She was going to raise them all into a powerful force, or at least, that was the plan. But if, after spending so much time and effort recruiting and raising them, they simply died because of one accidental shockwave, she could only drown herself in her own tears! Thus, she hastily sent the battleship into one of the trees, so that it was protected from any further impacts.
At the same time, the white tiger opened its mouth, and a white sphere of light shot towards Long Chen.
Long Chen once more blocked with his hands. He was forced back and deeply shaken.
That was... Star Fall! She stole my technique?!
Long Chen was truly shocked this time. That attack was very similar to Star Fall. It was similar enough that it could not possibly be a coincidence!
The giant sphere exploded, and Long Chen was once more pushed back. He shook out his slightly numb hands. Miao Yin’s power was beyond his expectations.
“Mister Long Chen, I’m sorry. This astral energy is truly terrifying. My Spiritual Strength is being rapidly consumed. Winter is coming!”
The white tiger exploded after unleashing one attack. It transformed into stars that reformed into a giant tortoise. The world darkened as the white starlight became black.
This tortoise was like a shadow over the world. The sea froze solid. The laws of the world also seemed to freeze.
Ice. Absolute zero. It came without warning; in a single instant, the entire world was frozen. The battlefield now seemed like the starry sky above the everlasting frost of the far north. The music was still playing, but it was heavy and solemn, as well as very quiet. Miao Yin still danced, but those figures seemed frozen and no longer even seemed real.
So astral energy works like this... This really is an eye opener...
Long Chen stared at the black tortoise in shock. He truly had been limiting himself. After all, if the stars in the outside world could form the four constellations, then why couldn’t his own astral energy?
Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise. The Four Beasts were also the four manifestations of the laws of heaven.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter. The four seasons were also the four manifestations of the laws of earth.
The transformations of these four energies opened a whole new world for Long Chen. He saw a whole new sky opening up for him. He could even see a vague image of the Nine Star Battle Armor! This would be a Nine Star Battle Armor unique to him and him alone!
BOOM!
Surprisingly, the tortoise didn’t unleash any attack at all before exploding. All the stars generated by its explosion immediately segregated into four areas. The four astral beasts once more formed in the east, south, west, and north.
Miao Yin’s dancing came to a halt, and the music ceased playing. Miao Yin’s beautiful voice was excited and pleased.
“Mister Long Chen, the Four Beast Formation is complete! You’ve lost!”
