Chapter 247: Chapter 131: Eternal Night Star Mark: Fighting Master Domain
Chapter 131: Re-entering the Star Realm!
The journey through the Planes.
This was a crucial mid-game Chapter in the grand scheme of things.
The choices of faction and direction one took would all influence the landscape and changes in the final Chapter: the Cosmic Demon Pool.
However, this was true for Divine Spirits like the Sun Goddess, the various major factions, and the darlings of this era’s tide.
For example, there was Isaac, who had a high probability of becoming a Legendary God Hunter after embarking on his journey through the Planes.
And Miss Craftsman, who, through her own fortuitous encounters during her journey, would become a Legendary Artisan.
Meanwhile,
the Witches of the plateau who had already made contact with the outside Witch Realm should have also started their own journeys through the Planes.
In the future, the Witches would give rise to at least three powerful Legendary Witches, and perhaps even a Witch Goddess.
Then there was the Nightmare Angel, who would most likely pledge allegiance to the Ancient Temple. If he didn’t fall, he was destined to become a High-Level Legendary, or even achieve Divinity Ascension.
And the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, who was now inseparable from the Jade Magic Ring Tree, among others.
If there were no major surprises,
in a thousand years, or perhaps three thousand,
when fate and their trajectories finally intertwined,
all these powerhouses, who had scattered like stars in the night sky to join various factions, would clash within the Cosmic Demon Pool.
Of course, that was their trajectory.
Zorn’s path, however, would be different from everyone else’s.
Having already completed his plans silently within the Cosmic Demon Pool, Zorn would possess a colossal advantage that no one else could match.
But even so, Zorn still needed to embark on his own journey through the Planes.
Only in the vast World outside could he better advance to the Holy Crown and Legendary levels.
Zorn’s own recent travels in the Star Realm had taken up a considerable amount of time and had ended in failure.
Zorn estimated that if he continued to act alone, his next few attempts would most likely also end in failure.
Now, he learned that the Steam Realm was currently undertaking a planar migration, and that it was located right where he was.
He obviously wasn’t going to refuse this express lane.
Using the Spirit Realm passage of an Upper Rank Level master to go directly to the "Steam Divine Kingdom" that the Sun Goddess had established in the outside world.
This was far more convenient than Zorn adventuring on his own.
However, Zorn naturally wouldn’t reveal any of this.
After a moment of thought, Zorn finally spoke slowly.
"Lady Sun, do you know why those great Divine Kingdoms on the Star Dust Plateau—the ones with immense power, numerous Legendary members, and even Divine Spirits of a certain scale—are opening a Middle Rank Level Extraordinary Spirit Realm battlefield?"
"I heard about this from Lady Ailuviya."
"They need to extract a special resource there: the Eternal Night Star Mark."
"Yes!"
Zorn nodded slightly.
"That is a place where the Three Great Divine Kingdoms of the Star Dust Plateau, all sorts of talented powerhouses, and Middle Rank Level experts fight to the death."
"There’s no shortage of darlings from the era’s tide, special Sequencers, and powerful bloodline holders."
"Even masters who have grasped a Sequence Domain are everywhere, and a single careless mistake could get you killed in there."
"You yourself said earlier that even carefully selected, powerful Level 9 and Level 10 Transcendents failed to pass the test."
"I’m only Level 8. Sending me there is... a bit of a stretch, isn’t it?"
Lady Sun chuckled softly.
’He didn’t refuse outright, which means there’s hope.’
"That’s why I came to find you personally, isn’t it?"
"Your strength is formidable. There’s no doubt about that."
"As long as you’re willing to participate in that Middle Rank Spirit Realm battlefield and help us obtain the Magic Ring Seed,"
"we will devote all our resources to cultivating you over these next few months."
"Your power is already considerable, and you’re about to advance to Level 9. A rapid promotion to Level 10 won’t be a problem either."
"You must understand, once you make a name for yourself on the Spirit Realm battlefield, those great Divine Kingdoms will also grant you many important resources."
Zorn’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’Showcasing my strength and potential on the Spirit Realm battlefield.’
’Entering the training system of the powerful Magic Ring Divine Kingdom in the Star Realm.’
’This is the most basic express lane for leveling up during the journey through the Planes.’
’At the Upper Rank and Holy Crown Levels,’
’being cultivated by a major faction versus not being cultivated is a world of difference.’
’Embark on the journey through the Planes.’
’Securing the cultivation of a powerful Divine Kingdom... This is a path that Players must seize.’
"Also... I brought a small gift for you this time."
As she spoke, Lady Sun quickly took out a milky-white, sealed suitcase.
Zorn could feel it the moment he saw it.
Sealed inside was none other than the final piece of Egunus’s flesh and blood remains.
The final, crucial piece of the puzzle to directly activate his Divinity and guarantee his Divinity Ascension in the future was right before his eyes.
"Previously, we were cooperating with Isaac, providing him with intelligence."
"We had him hunt those Evil Spirit Creatures."
"That child, Isaac, has astonishingly high Talent. His gains have been quite impressive."
Zorn wasn’t surprised by this.
Isaac’s rise was inseparable from the cultivation he received from the Steam Empire.
Isaac had already mentioned this at length when he and Zorn communicated via ritual before.
Zorn had also told him to cooperate well with the Steam Empire.
"Besides this, we also have some of the Sun King’s Golden Skeleton in our possession."
"If you need it, we can give it all to you."
Hearing this, Zorn’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’The cultivation is here... My Level is about to experience a massive explosion.’
The Sun King was the supreme monarch of the previous era, a true titan of his time.
The Cosmic Essence and cosmic characteristics precipitated within his skeleton were incredibly potent.
’If they knew the great secret within the Sun King’s Golden Skeleton, they obviously wouldn’t just hand it over to me like this.’
"How many portions are there?"
Zorn asked.
"There are twelve portions in total."
"I’ll take them all!"
Zorn said crisply.
’This much of the Sun King’s Golden Skeleton will significantly enhance the foundation of my cosmic characteristics.’
Hearing this, a smile spread across Lady Sun’s face.
"So, how long until the Middle Rank Level Spirit Realm battlefield opens?"
"About four and a half months."
"You have four months to prepare. In the remaining half-month, you’ll need to go to the Immortal Calamity Court·Ring Divine Kingdom to participate in the test."
"Only after passing can you enter that Middle Rank Level Spirit Realm war."
"Okay."
Zorn nodded slightly.
"During this time, I’ll need a large amount of resources to raise my Level."
"No problem!"
Lady Sun replied without any hesitation.
With four months and the full resources of the Steam Empire mobilized for his cultivation, pushing Zorn’s Level to 10 would naturally be no problem at all.
"Besides that, I also need an Alchemist to concoct several types of Forbidden Skill Potions for me."
Saying this, Zorn took out several potion formulas.
Lady Sun took them, and her expression changed slightly as she looked.
"The Forbidden Blood of the Gray Mist Giant, the Forbidden Blood of the Mother of the Ancient Porcelain Source Furnace, and the Forbidden Blood of the Double-Ringeded Snake."
"And in such large quantities."
"This..."
Lady Sun looked at Zorn.
"This is far too much!"
Zorn, however, said unhurriedly,
"This is only a portion of the resources I need."
"I originally planned to extract them slowly over time."
"Since you want me to enter a dangerous warzone, these resources will need to be gathered as soon as possible."
Lady Sun took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"Alright. I will arrange for personnel to help you acquire these resources as quickly as possible."
"But... can you really digest so many resources?"
Zorn just smiled faintly.
"Without any problem."
Zorn’s original plan had always been to extract these types of Forbidden Blood to enhance his Skills and their related characteristic strengths.
After all!
Even Forbidden Curses could be further enhanced by these kinds of Skill Potions.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that many forbidden Upper Rankers were still slumbering on the Holy Land Continent.
It was a place where one could effectively extract the blood of Upper Rankers to strengthen one’s Skills.
But looking across the vast Star Realm, out of hundreds or even thousands of Extraordinary Worlds, you wouldn’t find a single Upper Ranker.
The reason so many Upper Rankers slumbered and prostrated themselves in the Holy Relic World was because of the nurturing of the Cosmic Demon Pool.
The Twilight Ancient Temple, which was most adept at extracting the Forbidden Power of these Upper Rankers, was quietly supporting the Imperial Alliance in the south.
But Zorn knew.
Like the Demon Creatures, they had surely discovered the truth of this World. The quieter they were, the more intensely they were conducting their research in the shadows.
Once the journey through the Planes began,
and the Transcendents from within the World continuously flooded into the outside world,
the powers from outside would pour in ceaselessly.
When a certain point in time was reached,
the native Transcendents within the World would desperately try to squeeze their way out, while the Transcendents from outside would break their heads trying to get in.
Unfortunately!
Once the journey through the Planes was underway, any native Transcendents who hadn’t managed to leave in time would never get another chance.
’Advancing to Level 9 and Level 10 are two very important junctures.’
’I must use enough Forbidden Potions to activate an even more powerful Divine Kingdom Forbidden Curse.’
’As well as to absorb the powerful, exclusive Forbidden Curses carried by the Forbidden Potions themselves.’
’Otherwise, with the "abandoned" characteristics of my Evil Spirit Wizard Sequence in its current version, the Witchcraft I’d awaken on my own would be basically useless.’
’Also...’
Zorn’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His thoughts turned to the key resource in this Middle Rank Level Spirit Realm battlefield: the Eternal Night Star Mark.
’An important resource for the Star Trace Fighter is finally coming.’
Zorn mused to himself.
Within the vast Star Realm, there were all sorts of special resources.
And the "Eternal Night Star Mark" was the core resource for the Star Trace Fighter Sequence to master the Star Trace Realm.
By using his Sequence to digest the Eternal Night Star Mark, he could slowly master the Star Trace Realm.
As long as the Star Trace Realm was powerful enough,
a Fighting Master could also unleash astonishing power.
Not to mention, Zorn’s own Star Trace Fighter Sequence was already extremely strong.
Once he mastered the Star Trace Realm, adding that to his Spiritual Realm would mean he possessed two Domains.
After discussing the various details of the upcoming journey through the Planes with Lady Sun, Zorn officially entered a state of deep, secluded cultivation in the time that followed.
A massive amount of resources was supplied to him in a continuous stream.
Naturally, Zorn’s Level soared.
In just one week, Zorn successfully advanced to Level 9.
He continued to digest the resources supplied by the entire Divine Kingdom.
Zorn began to nurture his own Divine Kingdom Forbidden Curse.
He was preparing for the journey through the Planes that lay ahead.
