System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

220: Star Ring Relics, Void Dragon NestThe power authority was completely merged into the chaos ancestral talisman, and the magnificent power of the Middle Stage of the 8th Layer of the Tiangang Realm surged and circulated within his body; Ye Chen stood on the bank of the Ancient River of Buried Stars, feeling unprecedented strength.

With every gesture, he seemed able to trigger the power tides of the surrounding Void Realm, and the residual bloody aura of the Nine-Headed Crocodile Dragon was completely dispelled by the Chaos pressure naturally radiating from his body.

His gaze swept over the dark golden skeleton that had returned to silence; the residual will of this ancient being, known as the ”Might Venerable,” had helped him hone his power and ultimately fulfilled his Fusion.

Ye Chen bowed again, then without lingering, his figure shot up from the ground, rushing out of the silent water surface of the Ancient River of Buried Stars.

It was time to leave the Shattered Star Ring; his next target was the mysterious and distant ”Wall of Origin.”

He hovered above the ancient path of the star ring, about to activate the myriad laws star disk to plan the route to the Wall of Origin.

However, the moment his Divine Sense sank into the star disk, on the vast star map inside, besides the distant coordinates of the Wall of Origin flickering with a faint light, within the Shattered Star Ring area where he currently was, another coordinate point that had originally been dim was now emitting a weak yet clear guiding fluctuation!

This coordinate point did not point to an ancestral rune fragment; its fluctuation nature was completely different from the previous ”Heart,” ”Eye,” and ”Might,” and it was more like a... beacon containing pure Space Origin energy?

”Hmm?” Ye Chen’s heart stirred; the Shattered Star Ring was vast and boundless, a remnant of an ancient battlefield, containing countless Opportunities and dangers; since the star disk was issuing a warning, could it be that other undiscovered treasures were hidden here?

He pondered for a moment and decided to go and investigate; the journey to the Wall of Origin was long and full of unknown dangers, and having more hidden strength meant having more certainty; moreover, this fluctuation was related to space, which might allow his newly acquired Space Annihilation Law to advance further.

Following the guidance of the star disk, he turned into a stream of Chaos light and sped towards another direction of the Shattered Star Ring; this time, his speed was many times faster, and his Tiangang Realm 8th Layer cultivation, combined with the Chaos Limitless Steps and the newly comprehended technique of space traversal, allowed him to move freely among the dense star fragments, like a fish entering the sea.

Several days later, he arrived at the area indicated by the star disk.

This was not an ancient river, nor was it a continent fragment, but an extremely strange Void Realm; the surrounding star debris seemed to have been forcibly twisted by an invisible force, rotating around an absolutely dark area in the center, forming a huge, nest-like structure; the dark area was not empty, but was filled with extremely dense space energy and a kind of... faint Dragon pressure?

”Void Dragon Nest?” Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recalled some ancient records; it was said that some divine Dragons who had Cultivated the Space Law to the extreme would find space nodes and build their own ”Dragon Nest,” which was both a lair and a cave heaven for their Cultivation and storing treasures.

Could it be that a Void divine Dragon proficient in space power had once fallen in this Shattered Star Ring, and its Dragon Nest had not yet completely collapsed?

The fluctuations of the star disk clearly pointed to the depths of the dark Dragon Nest.

Ye Chen approached cautiously, his Divine Sense probing into the darkness; the spatial structure inside the Dragon Nest was extremely complex, layered and overlapping, as if composed of countless miniature space bubbles, filled with chaotic spatial turbulence and hidden traps; if not for him possessing the Space Annihilation Law and being extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, he would likely have been lost within it instantly.

Like a master decoder, he followed the relatively stable spatial veins and slowly ventured deep into the Dragon Nest; along the way, he saw many strange Ores sealed by space power, Spiritual Plants emitting glowing treasure light, and even some incomplete, ancient-style Jade Slips and Magic Treasure fragments, all obviously collected by the Void divine Dragon during its lifetime, but for Ye Chen now, these external objects were beneath his notice.

His target was the core of that space energy fluctuation!

Finally, after passing through dozens of layers of twisted spatial barriers, he arrived at the deepest part of the Dragon Nest.

This was a relatively stable spherical space, no more than a hundred zhang in size; in the center of the space, there was no giant Dragon skeleton as imagined, but floating there was a... treasure orb, about the size of a human head, completely silver-white, with spatial ripples like flowing water on its surface!

Inside the treasure orb, it seemed to Seal a miniature, constantly birthing and dying starry sky; extremely pure Space Origin power diffused from it, making the Space Annihilation Law imprint in Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness emit a joyful hum!

Void Dragon Orb!

This was the crystallization of a Void divine Dragon’s lifelong insights into the Space Law and its Origin power; its value to a Cultivator who Cultivated the Dao of space was immeasurable!

And just below this Void Dragon Orb, some other things were piled up; a few incomplete metal plates shimmering with starlight, engraved with strange symbols that were not of this world; a broken piece of bone, carved entirely like black jade, emitting a strange aura that did not belong to any known living creature; and an ancient bronze mirror, palm-sized, with damaged edges but a mirror surface that was still as smooth as before.

These seemed to be ”alien objects” collected by the Void divine Dragon from other worlds or time-spaces.

Ye Chen’s gaze was first attracted by the Void Dragon Orb; this object would be of great benefit to him in perfecting his Space Law; he reached out, activated the Space Annihilation Law, and cautiously touched the Dragon Orb.

There was no rejection; the moment his fingertips touched the cold surface of the Dragon Orb, the entire Dragon Orb suddenly turned into a silver stream of spatial light, instantly submerging into his brow and directly Fusing with the Space Annihilation Law imprint in his Sea of Consciousness!

”Hum!”

Ye Chen only felt his Divine Soul tremble, and countless profound insights regarding space folding, traversal, imprisonment, cutting, and even creating temporary spaces surged into his mind like a tide; his understanding of space deepened and improved at an unprecedented speed; the Space Annihilation Law imprint became more solid and complex, and its color also took on a hint of silver radiance from gray.

He even felt that if he used his spatial means with full force now, it would be enough to briefly trap a powerhouse of the Tiangang Realm 9th Layer!

The harvest was huge!

He suppressed the joy in his heart and cast his gaze toward the ”alien objects” below the Dragon Orb; although the star disk guided him here primarily for the Dragon Orb, these things that could be collected by the Void divine Dragon were likely not ordinary items.

He first picked up the few starlight metal plates and probed them with his Divine Sense; the information inside the metal plates was extremely chaotic and fragmented, seemingly fragments of some kind of navigation log; he did not recognize the characters used at all, but the few twisted symbols repeatedly mentioned, combined with their context, vaguely pointed to a force named ”Annihilation Legion,” as well as... ominous words like ”harvest” and ”purification.”

”Annihilation Legion?” Ye Chen frowned slightly; this name reminded him of ”Them” in the warning of the chaos ancestral talisman.

He then picked up the piece of black jade bone; it felt cold and dead to the touch; the nature of the energy contained within it was different from any power he knew, filled with a certain extreme sense of ”inertia” and ”termination,” as if everything that came into contact with it would lose its vitality.

Finally, he picked up the damaged bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was heavy in his hand; the mirror surface reflected his face, but it seemed to be separated by a layer of water mist, blurry and unclear; he tried to inject a trace of Chaos True Essence.

The mirror surface suddenly rippled, and the blurry scene gradually became clear; but what was reflected was not his current appearance, nor the surrounding scene, but a... burning starry sky; countless stars wailed and disintegrated in black flames, and huge fleets with hideous shapes, like combinations of insects and machines, were ruthlessly destroying one world after another!

The scene flashed and vanished; the bronze mirror became blurry again, as if it had exhausted its power.

Ye Chen held the bronze mirror, his heart shaken; was the fleeting scene just now the past recorded by this bronze mirror, or a foreshadowing of the future; was that terrifying fleet the ”Annihilation Legion”?

He felt that he had inadvertently touched a deeper, more terrifying shadow shrouding this expanse of the myriad worlds.

Putting away all these ”alien objects,” Ye Chen knew that this place should not be stayed in for long; the Void Dragon Orb had been collected by him, and this Dragon Nest had lost its core support; the surrounding spatial structure began to become unstable.

He did not hesitate, his figure flickered, and he used the newly comprehended space traversal technique, like a drop of ink merging into water, instantly disappearing from this Dragon Nest that was about to collapse.

The next moment, he had appeared in the Void Realm outside the Shattered Star Ring.

Looking back, that huge Dragon Nest structure was slowly collapsing inward, finally turning into an extreme black dot, completely disappearing.

Ye Chen stood in the starry sky, feeling the newly added spatial insights and power within his body, but his gaze was more solemn than before.

On the myriad laws star disk, the coordinates of the Wall of Origin were still distant.

And these newly acquired pieces of information made the mist on the road ahead seem even deeper.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, chose a direction, and turned into a stream of Chaos light tearing through the starry sky, beginning his long journey toward the legendary start and end of everything—the Wall of Origin.
