Chapter 621: The Heavenly Star

“Huh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

In the Metaverse league, after seeing that Fang Yun had killed Bai Deming, Nebula was relieved.

When he heard that the leader of the gray mist, Bai Deming, led a big team to hunt Fang Yun and especially when he was watching the live broadcast, his heart was filled with nervousness.

Fortunately, the final outcome did not disappoint him, Bai Deming was directly killed by Fang Yun.

“Master Ouroboros is really amazing.”

Nebula couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t expect that Fang Yun’s strength was at the same level, he thought that he was an immortal-class powerhouse at most.

“It’s really fortunate that our Metaverse league has such a patron.”

Nebula was sincerely grateful. If it weren’t for Fang Yun, the Metaverse league wouldn’t exist.

At the moment, the Metaverse league is much more prosperous than before. Compared with the past, its territory alone has expanded several times, not to mention its military power increase.

Although everyone is cultivating now, Nebula and the others have not forgotten Fang Yun’s instructions. They haven’t given up on the science and technology path. They plan to use this path to further develop the Metaverse and make it stand out from the other empires.

After all, the development of cultivation is not accomplished overnight. A true powerhouse can’t be pilled up with just resources. Whether it’s experience, insight, or talent, all of them are necessary for the making of a top powerhouse.

Both experience and insight require time to be accumulated. Therefore, even if the Metaverse is currently in a stage of rapid development, they still need a long, long time before a true top cultivator appears.

However, technology can be improved slowly but steadily, improving as time passes. No one truly knows whether the technological path has an end or not and how far can it go.

For example, the Metaverse has recently developed a spacecraft with the power to threaten cosmic powerhouses. Of course, this type of spacecraft needs to be piloted by at least a planet-level warrior before its full capabilities can be brought out.

In fact, ordinary planet-level powerhouses can’t withstand the pressure needed to bring out the full capabilities of this spacecraft.

“Huh, the strength of Lord Ouroboros has indeed reached a level that I cannot imagine.”

Nebula thought internally. He was extremely anxious upon learning that Bai Deming had personally set off to deal with Fang Yun. He never could have thought that Fang Yun could easily deal with Bai Deming.

Now, he couldn’t guess Fang Yun’s cultivation base anymore, nor could he fathom such a power level. He just knew that Fang Yun has power at the top of this universe.

“It’s no wonder lord Ouroboros left in the end. For a being of his level, staying in the Metaverse is like a dragon staying in a fish pond.”

Nebula’s guess is generally correct, but Fang Yun left because he needed to devour a very large amount of energy. Although the resources of the current Metaverse Alliance are very abundant, it’s becoming more and more stretched as the number of cultivators increase.

Fang Yun’s need for energy is almost limitless. He had been holding back for a long time in the Metaverse. If he acted unscrupulously, he could have easily driven the Metaverse into financial ruin.

“The Metaverse league still needs to expand more. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will no longer have any intersection with lord Ouroboros. “

Nebula sighed and muttered. He really wanted to develop more quickly, and chase Fang Yun’s footsteps. He always had the feeling that Fang Yun is after something, but he didn’t know what.

Lord Ouroboros didn’t even bother to tell them what he wanted, indicating that they can’t help him. Nebula wanted to change this. At least, he wanted to repay the assistance and protection Fang Yun provided them.

While Nebula was lamenting in his residence, the deeds of Fang Yun spread throughout every corner of the Metaverse league. The news especially circulated in the major training camps and universities. Countless students enthusiastically discussed this matter.

“Hahaha, Master Ouroboros is really amazing, what shit Bai Deming, wasn’t he killed with just a few strikes? Tsk, tsk, even sages can be slaughtered like chickens, amazing!”

In the corner of the campus of the first training camp, a group of people were talking about Fang Yun’s previous battle. All of them seemed particularly excited.

“Yes, maybe the strength of lord Ouroboros has reached the peak of the sage level! Even if that old heavenly star takes action, he shouldn’t be able to do anything to lord Ouroboros!”

“I heard that that heavenly star reached the peak of the sage level countless years ago. I wonder if he has made that step and reached that incredible level.”

“It’s very, very unlikely, otherwise, he would have taken action a long time ago, there’s no need for the gray mist to make a move. According to the information on the cosmic network, cultivators of that level are supreme-like beings, they stand at the apex of the universe. They can easily kill any sage.”

“Yes, that is a taboo realm, each being that has reached that realm becomes a taboo whose name mustn’t be mentioned in the universe!”

When talking about this, everyone’s voices were unconsciously lowered. Now, after the Metaverse was connected to the cosmic network, their horizons have greatly expanded.

They are no longer the fledglings that didn’t even know what came after the cosmic realm.

This realm is taboo for the ancient universe. In fact, few people even dare to mention this realm, because cultivators of that level are too powerful.

They can sense anyone who mentions their name or title, no matter what corner in the universe they’re in. More importantly, it’s said that many cultivators of that level suffer from spiritual problems.

The reason is unknown, but some people say that it’s simply because they are too lonely and that they have no further goal. Some say that they are affected by something, but this possibility is too terrifying.

Overall, this is an iron rule for most people in the universe. Never mention the name of these powerhouses!

If one of these powerhouses’ attention is attracted, they can easily kill the name-caller and even slaughter their empire. No one can stop them anyway.

“I have to work hard to cultivate. I must strive to become a top powerhouse like Master Ouroboros.”

Among this group of people, a handsome teen spoke. The moment his voice sounded, the others all nodded in agreement. Their purpose in coming here is to become a true powerhouse.

Similar situations unfolded in many training camps and academies. In a corner of the first training camp, a young man was training hard.

At this moment, a group of people passed by, also conversing about Fang Yun’s deeds and power. The young man, who was originally focused on training, couldn’t help but perk his ears and listen to their conversation.

“Unexpectedly, that lord is so powerful.”

At this moment, the young man took a deep breath, a bright light shone in his eyes.

“I must also become a powerhouse like that lord, otherwise, I will be letting down my mother’s hopes.”

Thinking of a certain scene, the young man’s eyes unconsciously turned red. He took another breath and resumed serious training. His eyes shone with perseverance.

While the outside world was still raging because of the battle between Fang Yun and Bai Deming, a terrifying momentum appeared on the heavenly planet, shaking the surrounding space.

It’s just that, this momentum disappeared in an instant.

“Damn it, the incompetent Bai Deming!”

The heavenly star old man who was practicing in retreat snorted angrily at this moment. He spent a lot of money to get Bai Deming to act. Although he only paid a part of the deposit, that deposit is still an incredible wealth.

He never expected that the final result would be like this. The star serpent wasn’t even injured, instead, Bai Deming was the one that lost his life.

“That trash!”

The heavenly star old man couldn’t help but scream again, but soon he expelled this dissatisfaction and anger from his heart, becoming calm and indifferent again.

“This retreat will soon be over…”

The heavenly old man quietly whispered.

Fang Yun didn’t know that the heavenly star had decided to personally hunt him down once the retreat was over. He was quietly floating in space.

At this moment, he didn’t move nor did he eat, because he had reached a critical point of cultivation base and energy growth.

“Boom! Boom!”

His body shook at a constant interval. It was as if countless drums were beaten at the same time, which. This was the sound of cells constantly dividing, which sounded particularly shocking.

In addition, a terrifying aura slowly grew inside his body, waiting for a critical time to burst out.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Inside Fang Yun’s body, various rumblings continued. It took more than half an hour for this process to end.

The terrifying aura that was seeping out from his body slowly converged back, becoming the same as before. From a distance, Fang Yun looked like a giant stone statue. There wasn’t the slightest life aura on his body. No one could have thought that this giant sculpture is a terrifying sage-level serpent.

“Huh, I finally reached the third step of the sage level.”

Fang Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that his breakthrough would take a long time. He didn’t expect to complete it in such a short period.

He has to thank Bai Deming and his subordinates for that. They were so considerate that they took the initiative to come and give him a lot of bio-energy points.

After Bai Deming and his sage subordinate died, their bio-energy was collected by Fang Yun, and as expected, sages are indeed worth a lot of bio-energy.

“I wonder when that old heavenly star will attack.”

Fang Yun thought internally. He knew very well that a battle between him and this old powerhouse was inevitable.

“If I can eat him, I will definitely get a lot of bio-energy.”

This thought popped up in Fang Yun’s mind, but then he didn’t care anymore.

He wouldn’t deliberately target that old man in order to get a lot of bio-energy, but if he takes the initiative to trouble him, then he won’t be polite.

After the battle with Bai Deming, Fang Yun also roughly understood his power level. According to his findings, his strength is indeed above his cultivation level.

“Huh…what should I do now?”

Fang Yun was a bit at a loss. He didn’t know whether to continue his journey or return back to the Metaverse league. Another option is to continue traveling until that heavenly star old man comes to him.

Fang Yun chose the latter in the end. He intends to deal with the heavenly star matter first. It would be back to go back to his hometown and attract that old man with him.

Time quickly flew, and another ten years have passed.

During these ten years, many things can change, especially for those lower-level students.

For example, the famous battle between Fang Yun and Bai Deming is no longer the talk of everyone. Many people seem to have forgotten that such a battle happened a decade ago.

In fact, in the past few years, many events worthy of talking about occurred, so this battle no longer holds the same importance.

“It’s time for me to return.”

Fang Yun felt that he should go back after traveling for so long. However, although he is going back, he doesn’t plan to stay in the Metaverse for long. The most important thing is to go to that turbulent space and see if he could go back to his original universe.

Back then when he tried to enter that turbulent space channel, his instincts crazily warned him that doing so would be absolutely fatal. He can’t go there for the moment.

However, Fang Yun never intended to give up. He will go back to his original universe no matter the price!

“Is it finally possible to go back?”

The more he thought about it, the more excited Fang Yun felt. In fact, after making this decision, he felt a lot more relaxed, as if his body was weightless.

After 15 years of wandering around, Fang Yun finally set on the journey back.

On the first week of his back home journey, Fang Yun suddenly stopped. It’s not that he changed his mind halfway. He stopped because a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

This figure turned his back to him. There was no aura radiating from his body, but merely gazing upon him can cause people to feel a sense of worship and fear.

“Damn beast, do you want to escape like this?”

The old man viciously said,

“Little guy, you should know that if you offend me, then you will die.”

“Huh!”

This old heavenly star suddenly turned around and stared at Fang Yun. In the next moment, he erupted with huge momentum, manifesting a giant hand and waving it at Fang Yun.

“This guy is really full of himself, just like his son.”

Fang Yun looked at a palm that was constantly zooming in his vision and sneered. From his appearance, it seems that he didn’t take this palm attack seriously.
