Seeking the way to cover the sky

Chapter 122
A dazzling light suddenly erupted from somewhere on a star that shone with faint starlight, and the space fluctuated extremely violently.

After a moment, all the spatial fluctuations and brilliant light converged, and a strange beast with a head and claws like a lion, a snow-white body, and a tail like a fox suddenly appeared on the five-color altar.

There was chaos on the back of this strange beast, and the outline of a human figure was looming, and its face could not be seen clearly. It could only be felt from the breath that it was emitting that it was a young Dacheng King.

This person and one beast are Xu Cheng and Bai Ze who set foot on the ancient road of the starry sky through the five-color altar.

Looking up, there is complete silence here, the cold black rock and soil fills the entire field of vision, and there is no breath of life at all.

Bai Ze consciously began to look around. As a strong man in the saint realm, almost everything on this smaller star could not be hidden from his perception.

"Brother, this star doesn't seem to have a five-color altar leading to the next section of the road."

Xu Cheng frowned slightly, and his consciousness spread out hundreds of thousands of miles without reservation, covering almost half of the star, but there was still no trace of the next five-color altar.

Xu Cheng looked around again. In addition to the dead star under his feet, there were several stars that were also shining with faint light, and it seemed that they would be extinguished at any time.

"Go and look around. Maybe the five-color altar is not set up on this star."

Bai Ze understood, and saw the strange runes almost engraved all over his body shimmering and glowing, as if resonating with the heaven and earth. The light spots in the dark starry sky began to converge and interweave, and finally a blue road composed of dense runes appeared. at his feet.

This strange road spans across the galaxy, connecting two dead stars that are almost on the verge of extinction. Although the blue road is not too long, the subtle spatial fluctuations in it sometimes reveal runes, which definitely shortens a lot of distance.

Xu Cheng was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that Bai Ze, who liked to show off his holiness in front of others, could have such magical powers. This blue rune avenue was not far away from the legendary Shuchi Chengcheng.

Bai Ze seemed to sense Xu Cheng's surprise. He raised his head proudly and straightened his back.

"Boss Xu Cheng, I...this beast has gone through several splendid eras, and its heritage is certainly extraordinary. There will be more surprises for you in the future!"

"I think back then, I was also the most talented person in Beidou. If it hadn't been for the suppression of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth at that time, I might have been the real emperor..."

Bai Ze naturally stepped onto the blue road made of condensed runes. While walking forward, his mouth did not stop.

Xu Cheng felt a slight headache. Every aspect of this Bai Ze as a mount made Xu Cheng very satisfied, but his mouth was a bit broken. He even suspected that Bai Ze had been self-proclaimed for too long, so he talked so much.

……

A few days later, Xu Cheng and Bai Ze returned to the original dead star. Both of them looked a little ugly.

Almost all the surrounding stars had been turned over by them, and there was still no trace of the five-color altar leading to the front.

Even Xu Cheng has a headache. It is not impossible to move forward without the Five-Color Altar, but the universe is so vast, and it is impossible in his current state. They do not know the specific coordinates of the Starry Sky Ancient Road. If there is no Five-Color Altar to take them with them, Moving forward, they might even get lost in this vast universe.

"Do I really want to go straight ahead? Until I find the next five-color altar? But if I go in the wrong direction, isn't it a waste of time?"

"Or maybe the five-color altar was reversed, and then returned to Beidou and started again?"

If he really returned to Beidou and started over, the old palace master would definitely have a weird look on his face, which Xu Cheng found hard to accept just thinking about it.

Xu Cheng looked helpless. He was unwilling to release his huge consciousness again, and even stood up and circled around the star, but still found nothing.

Xu Cheng did not give up and launched a new round of investigation again. He looked more carefully this time. Almost every inch of the land was covered with his spiritual consciousness.

After another half day passed, Xu Cheng's figure standing in mid-air suddenly paused, and a look of joy visible to the naked eye quickly appeared on his face.

Bai Ze, who was following Xu Cheng and was bored, was also excited. He followed Xu Cheng's line of sight and looked over. There was a pit of gravel. The gravel looked a little strange, like a stone that had hit the ground. Meteorites that exploded after the stars hit the sky.

Xu Cheng suppressed the excitement in his heart. He raised his hand and grabbed the pile of rubble. He grabbed all the rubble back into his hand, and then his consciousness swept across the pile of rubble repeatedly.

Bai Ze was a little confused. He put his huge head close to the palm holding a pile of gravel, and his consciousness kept checking the pile of gravel again and again.

After a while, Bai Ze also showed an excited expression. He was a little worried that it was his illusion, and his consciousness once again reached out to inspect the rubble.

Xu Cheng glanced at Bai Ze, and the palms that grabbed the gravel suddenly closed together, and a pile of gravel easily turned into powder in his hands.

"It's unmistakable. Someone definitely broke this pile of meteorite fragments into pieces. Although it's almost impossible to detect, this pile of rubble does indeed contain a trace amount of divine power."

"Since there is still a faint aura of divine power on this pile of rubble, the time when the meteorite was shattered must not have been more than 50 years ago."

"But in such a lonely star field, such an extremely dead star, the possibility that someone accidentally came to this star 50 years ago is almost negligible."

Bai Ze's eyes were also bright, and his judgment was no different from Xu Cheng's.

"Since there is almost no possibility of someone arriving unexpectedly, there is only one answer left. There must be indigenous people on this star!"

Xu Cheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Bai Ze's view. He also stared at the rubble pile thoughtfully.

Xu Cheng seemed to suddenly think of something, a pair of eyes suddenly reflected two glazed lamps, and the illusory river of time appeared in front of him again.

Bai Ze was startled when he saw Xu Cheng, whose temperament had changed drastically. At this moment, Xu Cheng was like a god standing high in the sky, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through the past, present and future.

Xu Cheng ignored Bai Ze's surprise and looked directly upstream of the River of Time. Since there was no unspeakable taboo involved, the picture of the upper reaches of the River of Time was extremely clear, and Xu Cheng encountered almost no fog.

In the picture of the upper reaches of the river of time, this star has always been silent, and there is no trace of any living beings. Xu Cheng is not depressed, he continues to look further up the river of time.

A moment later, Xu Cheng saw a day 53 years ago.

On this day, a huge meteorite dragged a long line of fire towards the star. The meteorite fell neither fast nor slow, and its destructive power was meager. At most, it could only make a powerful person suffer a little pain. hurt.

However, just before the meteorite hit the ground, a large amount of divine light suddenly burst out from the land, and a huge bird and beast with a red body and burning fire appeared on the ground.

This huge bird has a head like a chicken, a neck like a snake, and its feathers are fiery red. Its wings can cover at least several miles when spread out. There are also several yellow feathers on the tail, and it exudes a fiery aura. , looks extremely noble.

Xu Cheng was a little dumbfounded. He had seen this kind of magical bird in ancient books, and seeing it with his own eyes was inevitably a bit shocking. "This is...Suzaku? But hasn't Zhuque been lost in the ages and turned into a legend? How come there is still a Suzaku in this era?"

The moment before the meteorite fell to the ground, Suzaku finally moved. His flaming eyes widened slightly, and the menacing meteorite exploded without warning.

The Suzaku glanced around again, and after confirming that no enemy was approaching, it opened its beak slightly and escaped underground again.

The corner of Xu Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. He estimated that the Suzaku had been living in the center of the earth all year round. This time it was awakened by the unexpected meteorite. He thought someone was coming to the door, so he came out and shattered the meteorite.

In fact, Xu Cheng had already looked at the past, present and future of this star when he first came to it, but he did not find the five-color altar.

When Xu Cheng saw the birth of Suzaku just now, Xu Cheng had a startled glance. There were dense formations in the center of the earth, and the five-color altar seemed to be deep in the center of the earth.

"There are so many formations that hinder perception. No wonder I couldn't find the location of the five-color altar even after searching for a long time."

Xu Cheng frowned slightly. Although the Suzaku just glared at the frail meteorite and didn't take any action at all, Xu Cheng could still sense his heaven-destroying power.

Although he didn't have a very intuitive feeling, it was just a glimpse of the rainbow, but Xu Cheng was extremely sure that the Suzaku was at least a peak saint, or even a quasi-emperor!
This kind of existence is simply not something that Xu Cheng can contend with today. Just a quasi-emperor forbidden weapon can cause Xu Cheng to suffer disaster, let alone Suzaku, who is suspected of being a quasi-emperor?

Xu Cheng's face was uncertain. There were countless opportunities on the ancient starry sky road. He set out on the ancient starry sky road just to obtain those heaven-defying blessings.

Now that the five-color altar was in front of him, Xu Cheng would not be willing to leave like this.

Whether you bite the bullet and continue on the road to find the next five-color altar, or return to Beidou and start again, this is a waste of time and full of uncertainty.

What Xu Cheng lacks most now is time. In a few hundred years at most, Beidou's road to becoming an immortal will be opened. No matter what other supreme beings are like, the Immortal Supreme Lord must have set his sights on him.

In the original work, all the supreme beings who entered the path to immortality opened by Beidou failed. No one could break into the immortal realm from there, and all the supreme beings in the restricted area failed.

By then, the Changsheng Tianzun who failed to forcefully break into the immortal road will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to capture Xu Cheng while he is out. After all, he has been coveting the Chaos Body for a long time.

Therefore, Xu Cheng must become stronger when the road to immortality opens for the first time, and the Starry Sky Ancient Road becomes a shortcut for him to make rapid progress.

And setting off again after returning to Beidou is full of variables. Who knows whether Xu Cheng will be unlucky and end up teleporting to an area where the ancient road has collapsed. That would be a real waste of time.

Xu Chengsi changed his mind quickly, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Bai Ze looked confused. He didn't understand what Xu Cheng had discovered, and his expression changed several times in a short period of time.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Bai Ze's call brought Xu Cheng back to reality. Xu Cheng looked at Bai Ze and didn't answer his question. He just stared at the ground filled with gravel.

After a long silence, Xu Cheng sighed softly, and finally no longer hesitated after sensing the small seal in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Let's go, the five-color altar is at the center of the earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cheng fled towards the crack in the ground first and rushed underground along the crack.

Bai Ze was confused. Although he didn't understand why Xu Cheng just glanced at the rubble pile twice and determined that the five-color altar was deep in the earth's core, but when he saw that Xu Cheng had already hit the ground, he couldn't fall down, so he had to do it. Follow Xu Cheng and rush into the ground along the crack.

One person and one beast soon encountered resistance, and dense formations blocked their way. The formations were flowing with dazzling light, and the elusive rules were extremely powerful under the operation of the formations.

Xu Cheng frowned. This array pattern was too complicated. He thought that his level of array pattern was already outstanding, but he also found it difficult to face this seemingly endlessly changing array pattern.

Bai Ze's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"How is it possible! We have been searching this star for several days. How could our spiritual consciousness not discover this extremely conspicuous formation pattern?"

"Moreover, these runes are extremely bright. It seems that this formation pattern was installed not long ago. Is there really a strong person cultivating in this ghost place?"

Xu Cheng was silent. He grabbed a pile of formation materials and his hands glowed with light, and strange runes flowed out of his hands one by one.

This is a secret set of characters. The runes overlap and overlap according to specific trajectories, and small formations begin to appear in Xu Cheng's hands.

The formation of secrets is the pinnacle of formation patterns. Xu Cheng has obtained this set of secrets for many years. Of course, he has also devoted himself to studying the mysteries of these nine secrets. Now he can use them easily.

Xu Cheng's secretariat was operating, and the various trajectories of the formation in front of him were being analyzed by him, and each specific trajectory was clear to his mind.

Formation patterns were continuously punched into the large formation in front of Xu Cheng. Sometimes he stopped to think, and sometimes he punched in a rune.

As Xu Cheng continued to insert formation patterns into the extremely complex formation in front of him, this dazzling formation began to slowly dim, and even the laws it blessed began to become weak and unstable.

A few days later, as Xu Cheng once again punched a strange rune into the large formation in front of him, the already dim formation finally could no longer hold on and turned into light spots that dissipated between the sky and the earth. .

woohoo...

The moment the formation dissipated, an extremely dazzling, blazing little sun suddenly appeared in front of one person and one beast.

The expressions of Xu Cheng and Bai Ze both changed. The power contained in that little sun was so terrifying that it actually exploded with power that could reach the Great Sage.

The little sun looked extremely unstable and was constantly collapsing. Wisps of fiery breath that could easily crush an ordinary king began to shoot out from the surface of the little sun. When it opened, it was clearly a precursor to the explosion of the little sun.
Xu Cheng's pupils shrank, "Oh no, the power blessed by the array patterns turned out to be a magical power!"

Xu Cheng didn't dare to hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Ze, then punched out from the ground and shattered the entire ground. Then he ran wildly and ran away into the starry sky.

boom!
The moment Xu Cheng took Bai Ze to escape into the starry sky, the little sun suddenly erupted, and an extremely hot energy storm suddenly exploded, spreading a sea of ​​fire everywhere in the star field.

Xu Cheng looked back and saw that the star had shattered into countless pieces. At the center of the explosion, the outline of an extremely huge Suzaku was looming.
