Mu Changqing’s purple eyes flickered upon seeing this, and he mused inwardly.
“Realm Incense? Interesting. Is the entire universe a colossal ancient formation? Using black Realm Incense as a guide to catalyze the myriad realms and forge an supreme formation… quite an idea. Not bad.”
At this moment, Mu Changqing began to anticipate just how formidable this so-called Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation truly was.
Upon witnessing the appearance of the black Realm Incense, everyone present displayed expressions of shock. Even if they did not recognize the object, they could sense that it was an incomparably terrifying supreme treasure.
Xu Wensu gently stroked the black Realm Incense with a complex gaze, as if it were the spectral figure. Indeed, this was the contingency left behind by the spectral figure, the essential item for activating the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation.
“Master, I will not disappoint you.”
He murmured to himself, then turned his gaze to the crowd.
“With my current strength, I cannot fully activate this supreme realm formation. It requires the power of a mass sacrifice to ignite the Realm Incense, bestowing upon me supreme power to control the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation.”
The crowd remained silent for a moment, then one by one, they sat down cross-legged, closing their eyes, signifying their consent.
Xu Wensu sighed softly, his gaze then turning cold. He began chanting incantations, and the black Realm Incense before him slowly ascended, hovering in the high heavens.
“The Heavens are vast and bright, Qiankun gives birth to Yin and Yang, the Dao of Stars is impermanent, the Nine Palaces cycle through birth and death. Today, with the sacrifice of all beings, I implore the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation to open.”
As his words fell, a wisp of black smoke slowly emerged from the black Realm Incense, enveloping the entire gray planet. In an instant, the vital energies of the tens of thousands of top powerhouses from Blue Star surged upwards, merging into the black Realm Incense.
Seeing this, Xu Wensu did not cease his actions. His aura circulated, his half-step Immortal King cultivation fully unleashed, shaking the heavens. The entire life on Blue Star simultaneously looked up at the sky, all able to see a figure like a scorching sun, radiating brilliant, dazzling light. Xu Wensu’s form hovered in the high heavens, his terrifying aura transforming into wisps of ethereal light that illuminated Blue Star. In mere moments, over half of the planet’s inhabitants instantly dissolved into clouds of bloody mist. Innumerable blood mists, like crimson rays, erupted from Blue Star and were absorbed by the black Realm Incense.
After absorbing the boundless vital essence of billions of beings, a low hum, as if from ancient times, emanated from the black Realm Incense. The sound was akin to Buddhist chants, filled with unfathomable profundity, growing louder and louder, as if summoning something. The eerie, mysterious patterns on the black Realm Incense pulsed with a terrifying crimson glow. Xu Wensu’s expression became slightly grim; clearly, the sacrificed vital energy was not enough.
Watching this scene, Mu Changqing couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
“Sacrificing all beings… is this your ultimate trump card?”
At this moment, Xu Wensu had no time to consider Mu Changqing’s thoughts. His expression was uncertain, and after a moment, he seemed to make a decision. A hint of ruthless determination flashed in his slightly manic eyes.
“Since all will die, why not ascend to the extreme and perish in brilliance?”
As his words fell, the entire Blue Star trembled. All remaining life was sacrificed, transforming into billions of strands of blood mist that merged into the black Realm Incense. At this point, the black Realm Incense had undergone a significant change, becoming entirely crimson. A wisp of bloody mist drifted out, illuminating the entire universe. In the next moment, Blue Star erupted with terrifying light, as if a scorching sun had suddenly exploded. Subsequently, as a chain reaction, all the planets in the universe successively burst forth with brilliant light, making the entire universe, with its billions of stars, appear ineffably resplendent. This illuminated a beautiful yet terrifyingly perilous tableau.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
A faint beating sound arose, reminiscent of the heartbeat of an ancient, world-creating god-demon, causing the entire universe to resonate. The sound seemed to be awakening, growing louder and louder. Finally, it was like billions of thunderclaps sounding simultaneously, an incredibly terrifying tremor. The sound was like a colossal war drum echoing between heaven and earth. This imitation universe, at this moment, seemed to have developed self-awareness, possessing vital force. It was reviving, awakening. Under the dazzling interplay of billions of stars, the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation manifested. At this moment, the universe transformed into a cohesive entity, with galaxies flowing and nebulae drifting. Innumerable world energies, imbued with boundless celestial might, suppressed downwards. The terrifying aura surged outwards, immeasurably vast.
Mu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing upwards at the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation, constructed from the convergence of infinite world energies.
“Not bad, the pressure actually reaches the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.”
Mu Changqing offered a word of praise. Giants among Immortal Kings, to Mu Changqing’s level, were merely slightly larger ants. Yet, in the past Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, they were genuine top-tier figures, capable of easily traversing all realms. It was truly surprising that such a formation could appear in this imitation universe.
Mu Changqing looked at Xu Wensu, who hovered in the high heavens, holding the crimson Realm Incense and resonating with the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation, and slowly spoke.
“Is that all? Sacrificing everything you protected, and this is the ultimate trump card you’ve exchanged? It’s… insufficient.”
Hearing this, Xu Wensu’s expression grew even more unsightly. The power of this immense formation, which made him unable to muster the slightest resistance, was being dismissed as worthless by Mu Changqing. How could he not be enraged?
“Heh, is that so? Then let’s continue, so you can see if it’s worthy of your attention.”
His voice fell, and Xu Wensu let out a long roar, employing a forbidden secret technique and sacrificing himself directly. In an instant, Xu Wensu transformed into a mass of blood mist, merging into the crimson Realm Incense. Suddenly, something astonishing occurred, catching Mu Changqing by surprise. A strand of purple mist slithered out from the exploding blood mist of Xu Wensu, drifting quietly in the dead, icy starlight. Moments later, that strand of purple mist merged into the crimson Realm Incense, which instantly erupted with purple light. An aura of Primordial Chaos surged outwards, transforming the crimson Realm Incense into purple and integrating it into the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation.
“Primordial Purple Qi… it’s Primordial Purple Qi! Xu Wensu is a carrier of Primordial Fortune? I never detected it… Impossible, with my current abilities, I shouldn’t have been deceived. So, the previous Xu Wensu was not a carrier of Primordial Fortune, but this current Xu Wensu is. In the moment of his self-sacrifice, he completed a transformation of his fortune.”
Mu Changqing narrowed his purple eyes, instantly grasping the truth, and couldn't help but utter a sound of admiration inwardly. He looked towards the purple Realm Incense as it slowly ascended and merged into the Myriad Heavens Star Realm Formation.
“So that’s how it is. One of the purposes of Blue Star’s cyclical, infinite reincarnation is to nurture a carrier of Primordial Fortune? It’s becoming increasingly interesting. I truly anticipate you who are pulling the strings from behind the scenes to step out.”
A flicker of madness crossed Mu Changqing’s eyes, and a greedy glint appeared at the corner of his mouth. This was Primordial Purple Qi, a supreme treasure coveted by innate beings. Even now, after integrating Yinyin and becoming the complete Burial of the Heavens Pearl, the Burial of the Heavens Pearl still required Primordial Purple Qi. It was like a never-satisfied child, gluttonous. And its food, naturally, was Primordial Purple Qi.
