Chapter 462: Polaris
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
There were only seven people remaining on the chain at this time. The seven of them had watched the rest fall off and disappear into the seemingly endless fog below. In actual fact, it was only several meters down, but nobody could see them at all!
The bodies of the people that fell down also began to melt in a strange manner, turning into blood which flowed into the blood pool!
The few of them who survived all felt as if they were in a dream. Their mouths were open with shock, and even the deaths of their fellow partners had been forgotten cleanly by them.
A hundred meter wide purple pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, shining onto the coffin!
From the outside, the shadow of a hundred zhang long purple constellation appeared in the sky above Mt Qing Ling. A powerful stellar energy shone down from the sky, and a ray of purple light directly shone through the Earth!
The moment the strange phenomenon appeared, it was captured by a satellite. In a short moment, numerous fighter jets shot towards the area!
At the same time, the neighboring cities also noticed the strange purple hue in the sky. When the people raised their heads and looked up, the sky no longer had the familiar moon that everyone took for granted. Instead, it was replaced with a purple star that was several tens to a hundred times larger than the moon!
Strangely, this strange phenomenon was only visible to the people in the surrounding cities. The other cities that were further away could not see it at all.
The instant the purple stellar constellation appeared, Bei Feng immediately felt the peculiar energy flow in the air. In an instant, his figure appeared on the top of the mountain, and he cast his gaze towards the faraway Mt Qing Ling.
"What a huge commotion; did the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse cultivate the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique as well?!" Bei Feng muttered softly to himself.
He did not have a single clue as to what level the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse had cultivated the Minor Dark Sky Breathing to. But as he thought about the matter, he felt that the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse most likely wouldn't have reached the third stage of the Star Gods stage like him!
Bei Feng returned to his room and lay down. His thoughts were occupied with the matters of the Extreme Demonic Corpse, and he couldn't fall asleep. With the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse stirring up such a great commotion, it was most likely preparing to be reborn soon!
The matter regarding that Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse was a pool of murky water which Bei Feng did not dare to stir. The half complete Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse was already at Grade 9 strength. The complete one would definitely reach the Star grade at least!
Even if it only reached 1 Star grade, its strength would not be weaker than a Transcendent realm expert! The Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse had been hibernating for an unknown number of years. Even among the Transcendent realm, it would definitely be a powerhouse!
Bei Feng had no idea what kind of battle power that was. Even if he employed all his abilities, he would only reach the battle prowess of the Void Gu realm, not to mention being able to feel the boundaries of the Transcendent realm. Without even thinking about it, it was obvious how strong the Transcendent realm was!
Without any exaggerations, even a normal Transcendent realm cultivator would be able to trash Bei Feng and the lava python boss that he'd fought so hard to barely overcome!
The Transcendent realm was like a whole different level of power. Their battle power had exceeded the previous realms by leaps and bounds. It was like a completely higher grade of lifeform!
The moment the fighter jets flew within 10,000 zhang of the purple light, their systems would fail immediately. At the same time, the mountain valley had cracked open to reveal large holes, out of which a black deathly aura rose constantly!
The large holes on the ground had formed a large formation—this was the reason that the planes' systems had all failed when they went near it!
"Sir, after comparing with out stellar diagrams, we've analyzed that the constellation that appeared belongs to the Polaris!"
"How can that be possible?!"
Inside an underground military facility, countless people were running around busily. A person walked into the room with a document and handed it to the high-level officers inside.
The first reaction of all the senior officers was complete disbelief. The Polaris, or the Northern Star, was often referred to as the Emperor Star. This star was countless light years away from Earth, so there was no reason why it would suddenly be so strong!
"Have you found out what that ray of light is?" An aged voice sounded.
"According to our theories, it should be some kind of energy. But the specific components cannot be analyzed. The Polaris's position is also stable, and it hasn't moved at all. Our guess is that this is a type of special projection caused by an unknown factor," the white-robed middle-aged man replied heavily.
"Alright, then. Go back and analyze the specifics as quickly as possible."
The old man rubbed his temples exasperatedly. What a chaotic period this was!
In the underground cavern, countless amounts of stellar energy poured into the bronze coffin. Mo Dao and the rest stood to the side timidly, not daring to breathe too loudly. A purple vortex had appeared beside the 27 celestial figures. Although the vortex was somewhat unstable, it slowly stabilized under the concentrated illumination of the powerful stellar energy.
"Hou!"
A domineering roar rang out, causing a few people to literally lose control over their bowels. A several hundred meters long dragon claw extended out from the vortex. Fear and excitement intermixed on the faces of the stupefied crowd.
"Dragon! It's a dragon!"
"So the legends were real after all, dragons really exists! So it's true that we're the descendants of dragons, the children of Yan Huang!" [1]
The two decrepit old men were as excited as two children in a candy store, nearly leaping about on the spot—if their knees and backs would permit them to.
"E, E..."
Perhaps because he was too excited, Professor Tang's face stiffened and his chest heaved heavily as his words stuck in his throat. The smile of his last laugh still hung on his face as he toppled down the chain, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Soon, a huge purple dragon emerged from the vortex. Its body was over 10,000 zhang long and its purple scales gleamed with a magnificent purple luster.
But that was not all. The huge dragon stood up on its hind legs, and very slowly, starting from its tail, the bottom half of its body transformed into a pair of legs!
Time passed gradually. The group was still watching the celestial dragon with unblinking eyes. Their eyes were already bloodshot, but they refused to shift their eyes from the dragon's transformation!
"Pop!"
A light sound rang out as a person's eyeballs directly exploded. Blood and a strange juice flowed freely out of the gaping hole in his head.
Despite that, a strange smile still hung on the person's face. Following that, his brain also exploded!
After that, apart from Mo Dao, the rest of the people also died in similar fashion. Only their headless corpses remained standing on the metal chain. Their hands seemed to be gesturing something, as if they didn't know that they had died.
A faint light flashed on Mo Dao's body before disappearing. He'd watched with his own eyes as the heads of the people around him exploded like popcorn. At this moment, his heart was filled with incredible fear; he'd never encountered anything as terrifying as this before!
"But I guess it's not such a bad way to go... how many people can say that they've seen such a magnificent sight in their life?" Mo Dao mumbled to himself. After experiencing so many ups and downs on this trip, he'd instead turned calmer.
It was not that he no was longer fearful. Rather, it was just a moment of mental clarity as his mental power reached the limits and was on the verge of collapse.
"ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD ALREADY!"
Mo Dao shook his head and suddenly raised his voice as he screamed at the headless bodies before him. His loud voice traveled a long distance in the quiet cavern, and occasionally echoed back to his ears.
"Shua!"
The headless bodies suddenly all stopped moving, and in the next instant, they all turned around and faced him.
"I see. So it was all an illusion? But what a pity, even if there wasn't any illusion, I still wouldn't be able to leave."
As he listened to the echoes reverberating through the walls, Mo Dao suddenly awoke. All the illusions before his eyes were broken!
There weren't any thousand meters tall coffin, depthless chasm, or heaven-shaking figures. The 10,000 zhang long dragon was only about a hundred meters tall. There were only a few chains as thick as his thighs and a bronze coffin that was not much bigger than a regular coffin.
But the corpses that turned to face him were all real!
All the corpses gave off a type of frustrated feeling, as if they did not like being disrupted from their viewing pleasure.
"Boom!"
The group of corpses rushed at Mo Dao, seemingly intent on attacking him. However, they were all instantly melted into a puddle of blood by the light around Mo Dao's body and pushed off the chain!
"Hou!"
The hundred meter long celestial dragon was originally purple in color, representing royalty and dominance. But at this time, countless strands of black mist were flowing into its body unceasingly, causing this noble purple celestial dragon to look sinister, savage, and evil!
