Chapter 777 – Astral Executioner (2/2)
The Astral Executioner.
……
……
A furious roar ripped through the night.
Green wings tore through the darkness, and Nanke transformed into a stream of light as she lunged toward the ground, tossing Chen Changsheng to the side.
Just before her wrathful Qi could approach, the young array master floated up from the stretcher and noiselessly drifted several dozen zhang away.
He was just like the drifting dust over the ground, traveling randomly, with extremely strange movements. Of course, this also exposed his extremely profound cultivation.
In normal times, Nanke would have been willing to pay any price to use this chance to kill him, but now was not the time.
She rushed over to the Demon Lord, but before she could get close, she was sent into the distance by a wave of the Demon Lord's sleeve.
Chen Changsheng also fell on the ground, not far from the Demon Lord.
With just a stretch of his hand, the Demon Lord would be able to kill or seize Chen Changsheng, and then drink his blood and feed on his flesh. Just like that, he would be reborn and regain his freedom.
But the Demon Lord did not do this, or even glance at Chen Changsheng.
His thousand years of old injuries and his thousand years of desires could all be fulfilled from Chen Changsheng's body, but he suddenly seemed to not care.
The Demon Lord lowered his head to his own body, to the stone pestle embedded in his abdomen. He pulled it out and threw it to the ground.
The mottled spots on the stone pestle had already been completely eroded away by the golden blood, leaving only its crude surface.
But there were still a few objects remaining on his abdomen. They gave off a dark blue glow, looking just like stars.
This dark blue light sent faint ripples of Qi towards the starry sky.
The Demon Lord's belt dragged out image after image in the darkness. The stone seal flew through the air, howling as it landed and then went still.
Nobody knew that in this brief moment, he had traveled one thousand li and back.
No matter where he went, he could not escape that dark blue light.
The weak Qi was not affected in the slightest, continuing to clearly send his position towards the starry sky.
As expected, what could not be escaped was fate.
The Demon Lord turned to the starry sky above him, revealing an incredibly complex expression.
It was disdain, anger, and unwillingness, but all this ultimately transformed into a strand of sorrow.
Fate was the starry sky.
If the starry sky itself wanted to kill someone, how could they possibly avoid it?
……
……
Chen Changsheng's gaze also fell on the starry sky.
His spiritual sense drifted upward, surpassing the concept of time and crossing the endlessly long river of stars, reaching that extremely distant red star.
His Fated Star was continuously providing him warmth and strength, confidence and courage.
This place was incredibly far from the ground, seemingly at the other shore of the river of stars. It was extremely spacious here, with only a few stars around.
He looked even further, to that even deeper place, and suddenly felt fear.
Over there was infinite darkness, and it also seemed to contain countless twinkling stars, an enigmatic unknown that inspired fear.
Suddenly, a beam of bright light emerged from those distant and seemingly unreal stars, shooting straight towards his Fated Star!
Sweat instantly soaked Chen Changsheng's clothes and was quickly frozen into ice by his fear.
Just what was this beam of light? Where had it come from and where was it going?
Fortunately, the beam of light did not strike his Fated Star, merely brushed past.
Afterwards, the beam of light crossed the river of stars and shot towards this world.
Chen Changsheng's body became as stiff as board. He could not move a muscle or even make a noise.
The Demon Lord raised his head towards the starry sky, his expression indifferent, his thoughts inscrutable.
From the distance came Nanke's enraged roar.
A light broke through the night sky and fell amongst the mountains.
It fell on the Demon Lord's body.
