Chapter 553: Chapter 296: Return, Late Stage Tier 7, Level 5 Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority!
Lu Sheng looked at the Entropy Nightmare Blood before him, a sense of heaviness gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Galactic Life Forms possess various abilities to extend their lifespan, but the Entropy Nightmare did not do so. Instead, it follows a normal lifespan, serving as a signal for its own demise."
"It immerses itself into the Beast Realm, yet nurtures thousands of giant beasts. From these, it cultivates progenitors, gifting them the Entropy Nightmare Blood..."
"Is this... an attempt to have these beast progenitors fight one another, ultimately nurturing even stronger progenitors?"
"At the moment when the Entropy Nightmare Blood of multiple beast progenitors gathers on a single progenitor..."
"Could this be the day when Entropy Nightmare comes back to life?"
As this thought emerged in Lu Sheng’s mind, his whole being was taken aback.
This matter is truly astonishing!
Nurturing oneself back to life through the method of cultivating host beasts.
Is this the plan of the Galactic Life Form?
A look of deep concentration showed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"So... when I received this drop of Entropy Nightmare Blood, I also became one of its host creatures, becoming its... parasite!!"
Lu Sheng’s gaze was fixed dead on the Entropy Nightmare Blood in front of him.
The energy within the Entropy Nightmare Blood is full of allure, but at this moment, in Lu Sheng’s eyes, it was a dazzling poison!
"Indeed, the ideas of Galactic Life Forms can’t be easily fathomed."
"To live a life anew in this manner, this is what Galactic Life Forms aim for!"
Lu Sheng’s heart shivered slightly, and he couldn’t help but look at the fractured space. Beyond the broken space, he vaguely sensed the presence of the Beast Realm’s world consciousness.
"The world consciousness of the Beast Realm is already under the control of Entropy Nightmare. Even if I cultivate the Celestial Demon Technique, even if Entropy Nightmare is dead, to stamp my mark on the Beast Realm like in the Martial God World is utterly impossible now!"
"The Beast Realm... cannot become my cultivation ground."
"It seems that this journey into the Beast Realm ends here!"
Lu Sheng looked regretfully at the world consciousness of the Beast Realm.
However, though regretful, at least he elevated his avatar to the seventh tier. Upon returning, not only can he compensate for his previous losses, but he can also significantly enhance his cultivation.
It’s not a complete failure.
"As for this Entropy Nightmare Blood..."
A different kind of brilliance flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"Taking it will surely taint me with the causes and effects of Entropy Nightmare from the Galactic Life Form, but... this cause and effect might not be an obstacle for my cultivation opportunity!"
"The avatars of the Ten Thousand Demons Technique can devour the bloodlines of other beast progenitors. Once I return, my physical form will naturally possess this ability. With the help and encounter of the Entropy Nightmare Blood, encountering other beast progenitors, I’ll also be able to devour them and transform into my cultivation!"
"Perhaps... it can be utilized!"
Speaking, Lu Sheng’s mouth gradually curled into a smile.
"Entropy Nightmare uses blood to nurture the progenitors of beasts across realms. I too can use Entropy Nightmare Blood to devour the progenitors of beasts across realms."
"As for being tainted with the causes and effects of Entropy Nightmare, I have Emperor Bai and the Lord of Ascension behind me and have already been tainted with many causes and effects from Galactic Life Forms."
"Having one more cause and effect seems like nothing now!"
Lu Sheng spoke gently and then clenched his fingers.
In an instant, that drop of Entropy Nightmare Blood completely merged into Lu Sheng’s avatar.
With the integration of Entropy Nightmare Blood, seemingly without any change, yet Lu Sheng could now use the Entropy Nightmare Blood to perceive the nearby presence of beast progenitors bearing Entropy Nightmare Blood.
"Perhaps... it’s time to return!"
Lu Sheng overlooked the heavens and earth of the Beast Realm.
As he devoured the beasts across realms, achieving the status of a contemporary beast progenitor, after he leaves, the world consciousness of the Beast Realm will still follow the will of Entropy Nightmare, and once again cultivate beast after beast, beast king after beast king...
The entire Beast Realm will once again usher in a frenzied evolution.
At that time... the thousands of beasts will merge into one, again creating a beast progenitor.
Such a cycle...
Someday, those beast progenitors who left the Beast Realm will also integrate into one, and at that time... will be the day Entropy Nightmare revives!
"The universe is truly full of wondrous mysteries!"
Lu Sheng murmured softly and then took a step out, leaving the boundaries of the Beast Realm and heading towards the direction of the Star River Star System.
...
Star River Star System, Martial Immortal Villa, Celestial Brilliance Star.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and calmly gazed into the distance.
Suddenly, a colossal entity slowly approached, treading upon the void, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space.
The terrifying aura suddenly engulfed the entire Martial Immortal Villa.
The life forms on the three Life Planets within Martial Immortal Villa could all see the colossal entity above the firmament, and could feel the terrifying aura within it.
"What is this? It’s incredibly terrifying!!"
"Could it be that Martial Immortal Villa has been invaded by the Cosmic Alien Race?"
The beings of the Martial Immortal Villa widened their eyes in horror as they gazed at the enormous creature with nine heads.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
The sound of something cutting through the air was heard, as Yang Zhenyun and others appeared in the sky above the Martial Immortal Villa, staring gravely at the nine-headed dragon.
"This wave... could it be a seventh-tier Cosmic Life!"
A trace of shock flashed across Yang Zhenyun and the others’ faces.
A seventh-tier Cosmic Life is a pinnacle existence for any force, and now it has actually appeared within the Martial Immortal Villa.
However, before they could react, Lu Sheng’s voice slowly emerged from the Celestial Brilliance Star.
"Everyone, stay calm!"
As Lu Sheng’s voice fell, a sense of security surged through everyone’s hearts, as if at this moment, as long as Lu Sheng was present, nothing would go wrong.
Subsequently, they saw the nine-headed dragon roar at the Celestial Brilliance Star and then, astonishingly, transform into a scarlet radiance that instantly merged into the Celestial Brilliance Star.
"This..."
Yang Zhenyun and others were momentarily bewildered by the sight.
They had no idea what was happening in front of them.
"Could this be the instructor’s Cultivation Technique? If that’s the case... it’s a bit terrifying, isn’t it?"
"The nine-headed dragon just now clearly emitted a seventh-tier Cosmic Life fluctuation, and the instructor could create a seventh-tier Cosmic Life?"
"It’s truly worthy of Instructor Lu Sheng, the most talented person in the history of Star River University. Only Instructor Lu Sheng could accomplish such a feat!"
The beings of the Martial Immortal Villa marveled at the sight, all expressing their admiration, with a newfound respect in their eyes as they looked towards the Celestial Brilliance Star.
"Instructor Lu Sheng... is becoming stronger!"
Du Bai looked at the Celestial Brilliance Star with a sense of awe.
"Alright, since there’s nothing going on, we should attend to our own affairs!"
Yang Zhenyun smiled slightly, waved his hand, dispersing the crowd in the sky, and turned back to the Martial Extreme Star.
After coming to the Martial Immortal Villa from the Life Factions, Yang Zhenyun was responsible for teaching most of the students here, just as he did at the Life Factions.
Yang Zhenyun also discovered that he seemingly enjoyed the process of teaching immensely.
It was because of this deep immersion in teaching that Yang Zhenyun’s martial arts understanding subtly grew.
This led to a significant enhancement in Yang Zhenyun’s martial path at this moment.
Liu Qian and the others also found their paths within the Martial Immortal Villa and were diligently pursuing their goals.
Everyone... was striving with relentless pursuit!
...
Within the Celestial Brilliance Star.
As the nine-headed dragon’s embodiment merged with Lu Sheng’s body, the aura within him began to rise at an extremely terrifying pace.
This rapid escalation even made the green leaves of the Heaven-Reaching Vine tremble, as if fearing the aura within Lu Sheng.
Even the Star-devouring Octopus, wandering within the Celestial Brilliance Star, hid in its depths, trembling at the sight of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng’s aura continued to emanate, causing the surface of the Celestial Brilliance Star to ripple with intense heat.
Suddenly, a powerful presence surged from Lu Sheng’s body, causing the fiery energy within the Celestial Brilliance Star to churn instantly.
Columns of intense light roared out from the Celestial Brilliance Star, seemingly wanting to pierce through the Cosmic Void.
If there were outsiders present, they would certainly have discovered that the life level of Lu Sheng appeared to have evolved once more, becoming even stronger.
Even the vitality within Lu Sheng... became exceedingly vast.
Roar roar roar!!!
A series of dragon roars resounded, and behind Lu Sheng, a shadow suddenly appeared.
The shadow bore a strong resemblance to the previous nine-headed dragon, but with significantly more heads.
Gradually, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
A glint of brilliance flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"Seventh-tier later stage!"
Lu Sheng murmured softly, his gaze landing on the emptiness before him, where a glowing system interface slowly emerged.
[Name: Lu Sheng]
[Profession: Martial Artist]
[Realm: Divine Soul Realm (68/100)]
[Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority: (1/100) LV5]
[Dao Insights: (96/100) LV2]
"Progress at sixty-eight, slightly stronger than those just entering the seventh-tier later stage!"
Lu Sheng glanced at the system interface before him, smiling slightly.
"Most importantly... the Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority has risen to level five!"
