Page 470Chapter 470: Illuminating the Heavens
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
In complete silence, a vast, majestic and ancient aura permeated down through the skies. It pressed down towards Mount Longhu as if the entire firmament were toppled over!
It was too sudden and horrifying. Chu Feng was stunned as he raised his head and glanced toward the sky.
What was happening? He was surprised and astonished.
But Yaoyao was quite calm. She was unperturbed and only observed the results.
Chu Feng came to realize something. No wonder Yaoyao had been looking into outer space and saying she had no time. She already expected this and knew something was appearing in outer space.
Following which, strange phenomena alarmed the entire world!
Within a split second, the people around the world raised their heads and gazed at the sky with astonished expressions.
Everyone had gone dumb at this point. They could hardly believe what was happening and stood there like wooden statues.
Star after star appeared and began to spin around. They were incomparably large and, although they were reflected outside of earth, they appeared extremely close by. They were simply too big!
One had to know that it was daytime and the sky was clear and boundless. In the end, a sky full of stars had actually appeared instantly and it was so boundless. They were several times more majestic than what people were used to seeing!
People had never witnessed such a scene where the stars were arranged across a clear cosmos. They all felt as if the were dreaming.
Even the sun was no longer eye-catching—it was no longer the one and only. Many other stars had surpassed it and were rumbling
The sensation was the most prominent on Mount Longhu.
"Illuminating the heavens!" Chu Feng said in pain. He finally understood what was coming.
Was an extreme expert, one at the highest level of evolution, about the descend?
"It's nothing big. Merely a Law Breaking Decree." Yaoyao said casually.
A golden decree appeared in the sky and gradually descended towards Mount Longhu. Other places couldn't sense this suppressive might.
But this area was fluctuating like the vast oceans and it was as if a river of stars were falling down. It was simply too terrifying.
The stars in the skies began to rotate slowly and wanted to press down towards Mount Longhu.
Countless stars had appeared outside of earth—they were massive in size and even more dazzling than the sun. It shook everyone's hearts.
At the same time, many people noticed that a golden decree was coming down to seal Mount Longhu!
In the outside world, no one dared make a sound—it was completely silent. That was a throbbing which originated from the spirit and everyone was tremblingly faintly as if they were facing the heavens.
People everywhere felt this way even without the suppressive might descending upon them, to speak nothing of Mount Longhu.
The saintess Li Lin's scalp grew numb and couldn't resist falling to her knees in prostration. That was a fear which arose from the depths of her heart and a reaction which originated from her corporeal body. It was uncontrollable.
"It's only a decree. What are you kneeling for?" Yaoyao shot her a glance, then released white mist from her body which swiftly enshrouded Chu Feng and Li Lin as well as the lynx and magpie in the distance.
At the same time, she flipped her hand and slapped downwards. Mount Longhu immediately erupted with bright lights and emitted the roars of dragons and tigers. Extremely powerful domain runes emerged from the earth and blocked the decree.
The domain laid down by the sagemaster immediately materialized to obstruct the heaven-illuminator's decree and its suppressive might.
"Seal the demonic Mount Longhu!"
A majestic voice rang out in the sky as a number of words flickered therein. It was written in the divine language, the common language in the cosmos.
The present divine language had already been simplified!
The divine sons and saintesses in the star passages around the world all tightened their fists and exhaled deeply. The news they had obtained before was true. A peerless expert was indeed taking action!
Otherwise, with such a woman around, how would they dare walk out of the star passages. There would never be a day for them to rise to prominence.
This was especially true after the interstellar network covered the earth. They immediately connected to the depths of the starry skies and even logged into the origin beast platform. They had come to understand the recent situation.
At that moment, all of them felt their hairs stand on end. Just what kind of existence had they encountered? This was a woman who had suppressed an entire era! Back then she had caused all of the divine sons and saintesses in the starry sky to lower their heads. How could they afford to provoke such a character?!
But now it was looking good. They had received secret news that this Peerless Immortal Yao would be suppressed and sealed in place. What was there to fear? All the fortunes of this planet would belong to them!
The various star passages all boiled over in an instant!
The outer realm beings were all jumping for joy. They were no longer worried and afraid.
The native evolvers of the earth all felt a gloomy haze in their hearts. This was too shocking!
Naturally, this didn't include Penglai. They were in high fighting spirits and celebrating in secret.
But it still kept on approaching in the end and arrived near Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao, seal the mountain as per the agreement!"
This golden decree actually had an imprint within it which emitted powerful fluctuations, allowing everyone to clearly hear the majestic voice.
"That's why, you'll have to depend on yourself for everything outside," Yaoyao glanced at Chu Feng and said, "as long as your strength is sufficient, you should do everything as your heart wills it. Kill your way through and sweep everything away. Have no fear for they are all just so-so and don't dare do anything." At this point, she pointed toward the sky and said, "If they dare interfere again, the price will be significant and miserable. I will also take action!"
She said this right in front of the golden decree and ignored it completely.
"Sister, who is he?"
Chu Feng asked who the master of this decree was. A heaven-illuminator had actually come here to seal Yaoyao!
"The master of my former fiance," Yaoyao told him without hiding anything.
"It's him?!" Chu Feng was moved. This was a major character who had long since become a heaven-illuminator. His cultivation was unfathomable and boundlessly terrifying.
"Yes, back then, he had a ritual ground on this planet. However, he immediately pulled away before the battle and the great armies entered directly from that area," Yaoyao calmly recounted the past matters. "we should thank him for not attacking us back then."
The golden decree was suppressed by the domain runes and its corners were already burning. It emitted vast ocean-like fluctuations that were exceptionally terrifying.
"Seal the mountain." It once again transmitted its will.
"So noisy. I know already. I thank you for your good intentions, I know how to preserve myself." Yaoyao said hatefully.
The decree began to glow and a terrifying aura suffused the area. It was exceptionally frightening.
Yaoyao cast a sidelong glance and, with a clang, pulled out the silver page from Chu Feng's body. She then waved it forward directly, emitting a blinding flash of white light.
The silver paper was as sharp as a blade and shot out unfathomable domain runes. With a few swooshes, the golden decree was hacked into pieces and floated down to the ground.
The saintess Li Lin was flabbergasted and incomparably shocked. A heaven-illuminator's extremely powerful decree was dealt with just like that?!
However, matters didn't end with just that. Yaoyao walked over using the silver paper for protection and stomped on the shredded decree. "Withdraw!"
At this moment, Chu Feng was also dumbfounded. This was too domineering.
Just what was the heaven illuminator?
The golden decree pieces erupted with a blinding light. It wanted to explode but was suppressed completely by the runes from the silver paper. In the end, it disintegrated into specks of light and vanished.
"Back then, I feared nothing at all. Why would I be afraid of a mere decree? Kneel quietly!" Yaoyao curled her lips and her slender legs strode away. The ashes of the decree lay beneath her feet, but she refused to spare a second glance.
The saintess Li Lin had long since gone numb and petrified. She was entirely convinced that she wasn't losing out by following this lady was a maid.
Even her high status as a saintess was nothing before this person.
Yaoyao glanced at Chu Feng and said, "Unfortunately, this world is fair. Even if I'm fearless, I can't do everything as I please."
Chu Feng was greatly moved and sighed, "Sister is truly tyrannical!"
"In the end, it's the result of a negotiation. I don't want to talk about him anymore," said Yaoyao.
Afterwards, she talked about the earth.
"It's not that those entities are so benevolent that they left this place without destroying it. It's that they don't dare. Some uncles are still alive—some are roaming the cosmos, some are sleeping in coffins and isolated from the world. They're worried that these people will suddenly come back to kill them. Ha! In their eyes, those uncles are evil terrorists who can launch a bitter and indefensible attack on them. One has to know that destroying is always easier than building. They've accumulated for tens of thousands of eons, nurturing talents and occupying many planets rich in medicines and secret gold, etc. They're afraid that they would encounter a calamity."
Yaoyao was laughing as she revealed the reason.
"They all withdrew temporarily because they were afraid that uncle sagemaster would still be alive. He was a peerless expert whose combined strength was enough to illuminate the heavens. With such a person alive, they had to worry for an entire era! Becoming enemies with a character of such a level and allowing him to successfully escape, anyone will find it hard to eat and sleep. They no longer dared continue the attack."
A single sagemaster was enough to annihilate a group of vital stars. This would destroy all that they had accumulated for myriad eras, leaving them alone with nothing. This was the so-called "those with nothing to lose have no fear".
Yaoyao continued, "So, don't think too highly of them. The heaven-illuminators are humans, but they're also Taoties. [1] Back then, their methods were truly sinister. When battle broke out in the past, there was no sign at all. Additionally, they had also tricked away some powerful characters on earth as well as some core members. For instance, my mother, brother and uncle sagemaster's only bloodline. All of them were outside when it happened. The heaven illuminators forced the people on the mother star into a desperate battle. They understood people's hearts and knew that we had people we couldn't part with."
"Let it be, there's no need to speak too much of dark things from the past. Things were too complicated back then and the waters too deep. Don't think all those powerful beings are sacred."
"Enough, you head to the Pilgrimage Grounds now. Also, send your friends and family to Mount Longhu. Today, everyone will take a step back. The saints in the outer realm won't attack and I won't take action either. You'll have to do everything yourself. Moreover, I'm also helpless even though I want to help you. My strand of consciousness needs to rest within the longevity gold."
Chu Feng looked at her and said his farewells in the end. He had no idea when he would meet this brilliant lady again.
He swore that he would definitely find a way to revive her and let her walk the world as soon as possible. He wanted her to truly come back and glance askance at the starry skies in disdain.
"I'm must go to the Pilgrimage Grounds. There atop the ancient altar, there are offerings of the sacred kings and forebears. There, I must sketch the outlines of a vast and peerless carefree realm painting!" Chu Feng was incomparably resolute.
At the same time, those in the depths of the folded spaces behind the famed mountains were getting restless and boiling over.
The numerous divine sons and saintesses were about to charge out. Many outer realm beings were about to appear in earth's space.
