Chapter 512 - 268: Great Trial of the Myriad Realms, Starry Sky Overlord

Eternal Night Star.

Inside a great hall.

The Eternal Night Monarch sat cross-legged on a cattail cushion, the darkness around him flickering in and out of existence.

The tentacles on his head were much dimmer than before, looking as if they might dissolve at any moment.

These tentacles were the very core of the Eternal Night Race.

Back then, to escape the four Venerables from the Myriad Laws Pavilion, he had released all the Power of Eternal Night stored within his tentacles.

He had also lost a Marvel, which was the only reason he managed to get away.

Even so, he had paid an immense price.

His Origin was severely damaged, and he had nearly perished.

It was even uncertain whether he could ever recover to his former strength.

After all—

Restoring these core tentacles required an immense amount of resources.

Their value was no less than that of two or three Marvels.

There was simply no way for him to acquire them in a short amount of time.

Not only that, but to gain the protection of Wuji Mountain, he had even surrendered the Star Core he had fought so hard to obtain!

Now, he was practically left with nothing.

’Damn that Myriad Laws Pavilion! When the Great Trial of the Myriad Realms begins, I’ll tear you all to shreds!’

The Eternal Night Monarch’s killing intent surged to the heavens.

He had truly suffered a massive setback this time.

Not only had the Myriad Laws Pavilion destroyed a starry sky under his rule, but he had also suffered a devastating blow, almost to the point of complete annihilation.

This was an irreconcilable blood feud!

’And that life form from the Outer Starry Sky... to have vanished without a trace, he must be hiding a great secret. He might even possess an Immortal Object.’

’If I can find and kill him, I can make up for all my previous losses!’

The Eternal Night Monarch was tempted by the thought.

Over the years, he had made inquiries throughout the starry skies under Wuji Mountain’s jurisdiction, but it seemed no one there had ever heard of such a person.

It was truly possible that this person had come from another starry sky.

It was just that by some stroke of luck, he had learned Wuji Mountain’s technique, One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones, obtained its cosmic coordinates, and found his way here!

He just needed to lie in wait; that life form would come to Wuji Mountain sooner or later!

’There are still a thousand years until the Great Trial of the Myriad Realms. I have time to cultivate the Secret Technique of the Eternal Night Race and temporarily return to my peak state.’

’Then, during the Great Trial of the Myriad Realms, I can seize the initiative and reap the rewards!’

The Eternal Night Monarch formed a seal with his hands, and the tentacles on his head began to radiate a black light. He was just about to enter a meditative state.

However, at that very moment, the darkness around him suddenly surged, creating boundless ripples that swept out in all directions.

However, this surge of darkness only spread for a few dozen yards before coming to a complete stop.

It was as if some special power had forcibly confined it!

Seeing this, the Eternal Night Monarch’s pupils shrank abruptly:

"Who is it? Come out! Stop with the cheap tricks!"

As soon as his voice fell, a figure stepped out from the Void.

He emanated a profound and mysterious aura. His form seemed both real and illusory, as if he existed in the present, past, and future all at once.

Even the Eternal Night Monarch could not see through the man before him.

The Eternal Night Monarch stared at the figure who had suddenly appeared, his pupils constricting.

"It’s you!"

He never imagined that the very life form from the Outer Starry Sky he had just been thinking about would appear right before his eyes.

Wang Xiao’s gaze was indifferent. He emanated a vast and ethereal Divine Power as he looked at the Eternal Night Monarch and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Yongye, long time no see."

He had already sealed off the entire area.

Unless the Eternal Night Monarch was a Tier Twelve Life, there was absolutely no way for him to escape.

And he could already sense that the Eternal Night Monarch’s power was not as great as it had been ten thousand years ago.

In fact, he had weakened considerably.

He was probably only barely a Tier Ten Life now.

He had fallen by an entire Great Realm.

It seemed that although the Eternal Night Monarch had escaped the pursuit from the Myriad Laws Pavilion, he had suffered grievous injuries and still hadn’t recovered.

The Eternal Night Monarch watched Wang Xiao warily and said,

"I truly didn’t expect you to find me so quickly."

Wang Xiao knew that the flow of time in this region of the starry sky was also relatively fast.

He had been in cultivation for ten thousand years, but only about a century had passed in this part of the cosmos.

For a High Tier Life like the Eternal Night Monarch, this amount of time was indeed nothing more than the blink of an eye.

Wang Xiao said,

"But of course. When you led that powerful enemy away for me back then, Fellow Daoist Yongye, I never forgot it. I’ve been thinking about how I could possibly repay you ever since!"

Hearing Wang Xiao’s taunt, the Eternal Night Monarch’s expression remained unchanged:

"Given the circumstances, it was the only thing I could do. Otherwise, both of us would have died."

"I simply didn’t expect that you had your own means of escape, Fellow Daoist."

"If you had revealed it from the start, Fellow Daoist, I would never have made a move."

Wang Xiao gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"So, you’re saying it’s my fault for not being forthcoming enough?!"

The Eternal Night Monarch’s brow furrowed.

"Fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, it’s better to resolve grievances than to hold onto them. Our common enemy is the Myriad Laws Pavilion. We should be seeking revenge against them, not trying to kill each other here!"

"As it happens, I know of a great opportunity. Not only can we get our revenge on the Myriad Laws Pavilion, but we can also gain immense benefits."

"When the time comes, it might even be possible for us to break through to become Tier Twelve Lives!"

Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly.

"What opportunity?"

Seeing Wang Xiao show a flicker of interest, the Eternal Night Monarch quickly said:

"Every ten billion years, on the edge of the Starry Sky Sea, the Great Trial of the Myriad Realms takes place. Only experts who are above Tier Ten Life but below Tier Twelve Life can enter the Trial Land."

"The Trial Land contains vast resources accumulated throughout the endless cosmos. They are of extraordinary value, even to Tier Eleven Lives!"
