Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Birth of the Only Container

”It’s begun.”

Ye Yun, hidden in the void, nodded quietly.

The Seven-star formation indeed underwent a new transformation after being stimulated by other formations. It first restricted the mana within everyone’s body, putting them all on an equal starting line. At this time, the real contest was who possessed the strongest physical body. A strong body is the fundamental vessel; the stronger the body, the more powerful the entities it can accommodate.

”So, to truly live a second life, only one of us five can survive,” the white-robed teenager said, seeming to have sensed something. Suddenly, his mouth cracked open, and he began to laugh sinisterly.

”That’s right. If you want to live a second life, you have to kill the other four,” the middle-aged man in the green robe, his eyes glowing red, chimed in, also starting to laugh maniacally.

”I’m going to devour all of you to accomplish my great achievement of a second life!” the golden-robed elder declared, then licked his lips, a bloodthirsty, murderous intent gleaming in his eyes.

”The one to live a second life will undoubtedly be me!” the grey-robed elder, his presence overwhelming, roared with ferocious eyes.

The tension was palpable as the battle was about to erupt.

Suddenly, a soft laugh broke the silence.

The Big Black Cat flicked its eyelids and sneered, ”Can’t live without bragging, can you?”

”Kill!”

The moment the other four finished speaking, they rushed towards the Big Black Cat.

But as soon as the four reached mid-air, their Divine Senses seemed to be pulled by some force, and they began to fight amongst themselves.

A touch of chaos flashed in the Big Black Cat’s eyes; at this moment, his mind was controlled by the Seven-star formation. With a flicker, he too rushed into the air and began to battle the others.

Each person fought relying solely on their astonishing physical bodies. Every punch landed squarely on flesh, sending sprays of blood flying. THUD! THUD! The sounds echoed endlessly as people were continuously smashed and sent airborne.

Ye Yun watched this scene, his eyes shimmering. He was constantly analyzing the Seven-star formation on the Big Black Cat’s chest. That Seven-star formation had just influenced everyone’s minds again, causing them to slaughter each other like beasts. This was a fair fight: each person indiscriminately attacked the other four. The one who survived to the end would be the ultimate winner and the only surviving vessel.

Ye Yun naturally wasn’t worried about this battle, as the Big Black Cat’s physical body was incredibly strong at the moment. He had already been strengthened once in the Nine Soul Underground Palace, and this was the second time. Coupled with his Demon Clan physique, the ultimate winner of this battle would definitely be the Big Black Cat.

The fight grew increasingly intense. The other four were covered in blood but still fought crazily. Only the Big Black Cat remained unscathed.

「Soon, an incense stick’s worth of time passed.」

The hotheaded golden-robed elder was the first to perish. After he fell, the Seven-star formation on his body instantly floated into mid-air. It cast a beam of light, and the golden-robed elder disappeared. That Seven-star formation, however, seemed a bit more powerful than before.

Then, the middle-aged man in the green robe also fell. His Seven-star formation too floated in the sky. As the middle-aged man’s body disappeared, the Super Divine Dragon Breath of this Seven-star formation intensified severalfold.

The third to fall was the grey-robed elder.

In the end, only the white-robed teenager and the Big Black Cat were left fighting. With only one opponent left, the Big Black Cat’s attacks grew increasingly frenzied. Eventually, he brutally overpowered and killed the white-robed teenager.

The four Seven-star formations floated in mid-air, their Super Divine Dragon Breath thick and strong, several times more potent than before.

The Big Black Cat was panting heavily, constantly looking around as if still searching for opponents. His mind had not yet recovered at this moment.

At this instant, the Seven-star formation on the Big Black Cat’s chest flashed fiercely. The other four Seven-star formations, as if summoned, quickly descended towards it. Each Seven-star formation perfectly overlapped according to the positions of the Seven Stars. After the first set of Seven Stars merged, there seemed to be no difference. However, when all four Seven-star formations overlapped with the one on the Big Black Cat’s chest, they suddenly emitted seven beams of light, which poured into the Big Black Cat’s body.

The Big Black Cat screamed and suddenly fell from mid-air, unconscious once again.

Ye Yun’s eyes flickered as he saw large amounts of Dragon Qi coursing through, scouring, and transforming the Big Black Cat’s body.

So that’s how it is. The energy absorbed by the Seven-star formation from the four deceased was all injected into the Big Black Cat’s body, further increasing his physical strength. The last surviving vessel would reach an unimaginable degree of strength, comparable to a Divine Dragon. The entire process was automatically guided by the Seven-star formation. It must be said, the design of the Seven-star formation was extremely ingenious.

Ye Yun quietly observed the Seven-star formation on the Big Black Cat’s chest. He realized that if it progressed at this rate, the Big Black Cat would need at least a year to awaken.

The Seven-star formation seemed to be permanently branded on his chest, never to disappear. This was the sole mark of the vessel.

Ye Yun decided to keep this Seven-star formation for now, letting the Big Black Cat serve as a vessel and survive in this manner.

Perhaps he will be of great importance in the Divine Land someday.

The Seven-star formation exhibited some new changes after the five merged into one.

After studying for a day, Ye Yun finally deciphered the remaining aspects of the formation. Then, he activated the Seven-star formation and retracted the force suppressing the Big Black Cat’s Soul.

The Big Black Cat’s eyes snapped open; he was awake.

”Master, what happened just now? I seemed to have fought with someone in my daze?” the Big Black Cat asked hastily, scrambling to his feet.

”The five of you, as seeds, had your minds suppressed by the Seven-star formation,” Ye Yun said with a smile. ”After a wild battle, only you survived. The energy from their bodies entered yours, continuously strengthening your physical body.”

”So that’s how it is.” The Big Black Cat scratched his head, looked at the other black Covert Dragon Coffins, and grinned. ”Those arrogant bastards, thinking they were all Lawless, ended up being killed by me! Haha... This is so satisfying!”

”Being a member of the Demon Clan and having eaten so many Eternal Life Immortal Grasses, you naturally have the advantage in terms of physical strength,” Ye Yun laughed.

The Big Black Cat blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment. He knew that if Master hadn’t been assisting by the side, who knows what strange incidents would have occurred.

”Let’s go. You’ve had a blessing in disguise this time; your physical body has become increasingly comparable to a Divine Dragon,” Ye Yun said with a smile.

After saying that, he tore through the void and brought the Big Black Cat back to the carriage.

Seeing the Big Black Cat return, the other Divine Beasts became quite excited.

”Big brother, are you okay?” Little Cat asked with a concerned look.

”What could be wrong?” the Big Black Cat grinned, his face filled with triumph. ”Instead, lying in the coffin for over ten days has made me stronger than before!”

”We were worried about you for nothing. It’s good that you came back safely,” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon sighed.

WHOOSH!

A black tail swept over, landing on the Big Black Cat. The intention was to flatten the bragging Big Black Cat into a meat patty, but the Big Black Horse’s surprise attack was unsuccessful.

The Big Black Cat’s body just swayed a bit.

”Aiyo, Little Cat, your physical body is many times stronger than before!” the Big Black Horse said, smacking its lips, its white teeth flashing in a shocked expression.
