Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

234: Chapter 234: Star Core Devours the Sky, Mo’er’s First CryAfter that roar, originating from Chaos and shaking the Divine Soul, heaven and earth seemed to fall into a momentary stillness.

Then, an indescribably terrifying suction force erupted from the center of the Star Core that had transformed into a pitch-black void! This was no ordinary energy absorption, but a plundering and devouring that bordered on the level of a ’rule’!

The first to bear the brunt was the massive, sky-shrouding Evil Qi ghost hand casually unleashed by the Black Fiend Venerable Lord. That terrifying strike, condensed from Soul Transformation Stage cultivation and capable of easily crushing mountains and rivers, disintegrated inch by inch like ice meeting the blazing sun before this domineering suction force, transforming into a torrent of the purest negative energy that was greedily devoured by the black void! It couldn’t even stir a single ripple!

This sudden turn of events caused even the ice-cold Black Fiend Venerable Lord to reveal a look of shock for the first time. His crimson pupils contracted sharply: ’The aura of Chaos?! No... what is this thing?!’

However, this was merely the beginning!

The black hole formed by the Star Core was like a primordial Vicious Beast whose hunger had been ignited; its suction force surged madly, and its range expanded rapidly!

The massive battle Formation below, formed by thousands of Black Fiend Forest Cultivators, instantly faced utter disaster! Countless Cultivators discovered in horror that the Evil Qi they had painstakingly cultivated for years was uncontrollably bursting from their bodies, turning into streams of black energy that flew helplessly towards the terrifying black hole in the sky! Their bodies visibly withered and dried up, their Life Essence and cultivation forcibly drained away together!

Screams, wails, and desperate curses instantly rose into a cacophony, only to be quickly silenced, as even sound seemed to be devoured by the black hole! The battle Formation collapsed instantly; thousands of Cultivators fell in rows like harvested wheat, turning to dust!

But it wasn’t over! The massive and evil ’Void Demon Summoning Array’ became the Star Core’s primary target! The black heart formed from countless Vengeful Spirits at the array’s center beat frantically, trying to resist, but it was futile. The countless precious Materials forming the array instantly lost all their Spiritual Qi and turned to powder. The gathered blood energy, Death Qi, and negative emotional energy, along with the black heart itself, were all yanked up together, transforming into an immense pillar of black energy that crashed thunderously into the Star Core!

The partially formed void channel, which had already begun to emanate a terrifying aura, writhed and trembled violently like a snake whose roots had been severed. It let out a silent, unwilling hiss before completely collapsing and dissipating!

’No!! My grand array!!’ The Black Fiend Venerable Lord finally lost his composure, roaring with extreme fury! This Void Demon Summoning Array had cost him countless effort and time; it was the key to summoning the power of the dark side and realizing his ambitions. Now, it was destroyed in an instant!

He abruptly raised his hand, unleashing the terrifying might of the Soul Transformation Stage without reservation. The Evil Qi between heaven and earth converged towards him like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, condensing into an even more solid, almost tangible giant black palm. Within its palm, countless Vengeful Spirits seemed to wail and shriek, carrying the will to destroy everything as it fiercely slammed towards the Star Core that was still devouring madly!

’Shatter for this venerable lord!’

This strike, fueled by rage, was far more powerful than before!

However, facing this terrifying blow capable of wiping a mountain range off the face of the earth, the pitch-black Star Core merely paused slightly. The speck of crimson light at its Core suddenly brightened, as if a cold, indifferent eye had opened!

An even more violent suction force erupted! Before the descending giant black palm could even land, the terrifying energy condensed within it began to uncontrollably disperse and peel away. Like a sandcastle meeting the tide, it was swept away and sucked into the black hole! Even the vast Soul Transformation Evil Qi within the Black Fiend Venerable Lord’s body showed signs of being pulled out!

’What?!’ The Black Fiend Venerable Lord paled in shock, hurriedly stabilizing his own cultivation. For the first time, his eyes revealed terror and disbelief! This thing could actually threaten him, a Soul Transformation Stage expert?! This completely exceeded his understanding!

At the very moment his mind was shaken and he was fully resisting the bizarre suction force—

Elder Qing Lin, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly erupted with a sharp gleam in his eyes: ’Now! tree of life, please aid our clan!’

He thrust his Ancient Vine Staff fiercely into the ground, establishing the deepest resonance with the entire Qinglin Forest and that giant tree of life! Zi Linger also let out a sharp cry, pouring all her Life Origin Power into the tree!

Bzzzz—!!!

The tree of life erupted with an unprecedented, dazzling green light. Countless specks of light shot skyward like a reverse waterfall, instantly infusing the tottering Protective Barrier! The cracks on the barrier healed rapidly, its light blazing brightly. It even expanded outward, forcefully pushing away the remaining Black Fiend Forest Cultivators and the pervading Evil Qi!

Simultaneously, the nirvana true seal fragment that had been silently floating in Nangong Xuan’s Dantian seemed to be stirred by the Star Core’s eruption and the extreme energy conflict outside. It trembled slightly, and a faint, almost imperceptible yet supremely profound aura of ’Emptiness and Nothingness’ dao rhyme spread out, quietly empowering the Star Core’s devouring force, making it even more irresistible, as if representing a certain great Dao rule!

With one side waning and the other waxing, the pressure on the Black Fiend Venerable Lord multiplied!

Meanwhile, the Star Core, having madly devoured a sea of energy, expanded in size once more. Its pitch-black surface began to reveal intricate, dark golden Innate Dao Patterns. The pressure it emanated climbed steadily, as if some slumbering ancient divine object was rapidly awakening!

Standing beneath the Star Core, Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue, though not targeted by the suction, could still feel the heaven-and-earth-destroying might, their hearts shaken beyond measure. They both clearly sensed that within the Star Core, that tiny, slumbering consciousness was growing and strengthening at a terrifying speed!

Finally, when the last trace of Evil Qi on the battlefield was devoured, the Star Core seemed ’full.’ The terrifying suction force abruptly ceased.

The pitch-black Star Core, now expanded to a size of ten zhang, hung quietly in the air. Dark golden dao patterns flowed across its surface, emanating a heart-palpitating aura of Chaos. The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on that bizarre Star Core.

The next moment, ripples appeared on the Star Core’s surface. A vague, tiny figure seemed to struggle, trying to coalesce from the Chaos at its Core.

Immediately after, a childish voice, carrying a hint of sleepiness and displeasure yet crystal clear and milky-sounding, abruptly rang directly in the minds of Nangong Xuan, Su Muxue, and all Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage:

’So... noisy...! Can’t... you... let... a... person... sleep...?!’

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it seemed to contain supreme majesty, causing the minds of all who heard it, including the furious Black Fiend Venerable Lord, to tremble violently!

Nangong Xuan shuddered violently, raising his head sharply to look at the Star Core, his eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy!

Moer! That was Moer’s voice! He... he’s awake?!

Su Muxue also covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes instantly brimming with tears.

The tiny figure seemed to fail in coalescing and shrank back into the depths of the Star Core, but the sense of displeasure remained clearly.

The Star Core’s light began to turn inward, its size slowly shrinking until it returned to the size of a fist. It spun nimbly back to Nangong Xuan’s shoulder and even... with an incredibly human-like gesture, ’nuzzled’ his cheek contentedly. Its body was no longer dark gold or pitch-black, but a profound, dark purple that seemed to contain endless starry rivers. The dao patterns on its surface were even more mysterious and complex.

The thoughts it conveyed were no longer vague but much clearer. Though still carrying a child’s innocence, they now held an indescribable sense of antiquity and majesty. ’Daddy... Mommy... hungry... just now... full... sleepy...’

Intermittent thoughts came through before it fell silent again, as if the earlier eruption and first cry had exhausted its energy, needing to digest the vast sea of energy.

But this time, the silence brought Nangong Xuan not worry, but unparalleled excitement and hope!

Moer was truly awake! And he seemed to possess unimaginable power!

On the battlefield, the situation reversed instantly!

The Black Fiend Venerable Lord’s face darkened as if water could drip from it. He stared fixedly at the now dark purple Star Core, his eyes filled with wariness, greed, and a trace of... fear! This thing was too bizarre. It could actually devour his power, and even nurtured such an incredible consciousness within!

The Green Wood Clan’s morale soared! Though they didn’t fully understand what had happened, the terrifying black hole had devoured all their enemies, and even the Venerable Lord had suffered a setback. This was undoubtedly fantastic news!

Elder Qing Lin trembled with excitement, his aged hands shaking. He looked at the Star Core on Nangong Xuan’s shoulder as if witnessing some legendary miracle.

The Black Fiend Venerable Lord’s eyes flickered. Today’s plan had utterly failed. The Void Demon Summoning Array was destroyed, his elite forces suffered heavy losses, and an unforeseen variable completely beyond his control had appeared. Continuing the fight was meaningless now; he might even capsize in a ditch.

’Very well... Nangong Xuan... and that strange Core...’ His icy gaze swept over Nangong Xuan and the Star Core, his voice hoarse. ’This venerable lord remembers you. Next time we meet, you will witness the true might of the Soul Transformation Stage!’

Before his words even faded, the space around him twisted. His entire body transformed into a plume of black smoke, vanishing into the horizon in an instant. He had actually abandoned his remaining forces and fled without hesitation!

The few remaining Black Fiend Forest Cultivators, already scared out of their wits, saw their Venerable Lord flee and let out panicked shouts, scattering in all directions.

Under Teng Shan’s leadership, the Green Wood Clan Warriors began pursuing and clearing out the remaining enemies.

A calamity of immense proportions was temporarily resolved in such an unexpected way.

Sunlight pierced through the gradually dissipating black fog of Evil Qi, once again shining upon the ravaged land.

Nangong Xuan gently stroked the warm Star Core on his shoulder. Su Muxue stood beside him. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the disaster, and... infinite hope for the future.

Moer had taken his first step in awakening. Their power had undergone a qualitative leap. The horn for the counterattack might soon be sounded.
