Chapter 570 - 566: Neo-Dawn Eclipses All
Four days left...
After experiencing one of the greatest and unexplainable vanishing acts since recorded history, the starfield's inhabitants were met with colorful skies that had seemingly manifested without rhyme or reason. The fear, panic, and terror that most felt was unimaginable, but it didn't erupt into chaos, depression, and death. Instead, the flat continental earths, the planets, the warring clans, and feuding organizations set aside their differences to face it all.
Unaware of the Tiangou's inevitable descent or the Aeternal Sky Starfield's intentions, a strange sense of unity formed in the hearts of countless experts in the Imperial Dawn Starfield. A few brave experts banded together to form coalitions to fight against this unknown.
Lin Ming, Bai Yuxi, and Senior Sister Lin were staring at the net that surrounded the entirety of the starfield, emitting gorgeous lights that brightened the Dark Void.
.
"What's the World-Shifting Net?" Lin Ming asked, baffled by the sheer enormity of this net. He couldn't see its end. What type of power was this?
Bai Yuxi's astonishment was high, and she wanted to answer, however, her head surprisingly went blank as she tried to speak. "Uh...I...its-" From behind her veil, her eyes lost a lot of light and her face winced as a sharp pain originated from the center of her brow.
Senior Sister Lin turned to Bai Yuxi, her eyes constricted. "Your soul's damaged?!" She hurriedly arrived by Bai Yuxi's side and pressed her delicate and long index finger against her glabella. A flicker of spiritual light emitted from Senior Sister Lin's finger. It burst into a smoky cyan-colored light that infused itself into Bai Yuxi's head.
Lin Ming was broken out of his amazement, turning to Bai Yuxi with a panicked expression.
Bai Yuxi's pained expression eased as her eyelids slowly closed, and she gradually descended into a peaceful sleep. Her body went soft and Senior Sister Lin grabbed her by the legs, lifting her up in a bridal carry as she kept her eyes focused on Bai Yuxi.
Lin Ming hurriedly inquired, "Is she okay?" He was mostly ignorant of the consequences of the Engorging Foundation Method, just that it was inherently dangerous. After all, that young girl lost her life for it. If he had known that could've happened, he wouldn't have agreed to it all.
"Her soul is heavily damaged. How did this happen?" Senior Sister Lin's voice was icy, like a frozen tundra manifesting out of nowhere. The soul was very difficult to damage by Mortals. In fact, it was almost impossible without special means that exceeded Mortal Limits.
To her, the only ones that can cause this degree of damage was an Ascended. And she was well aware that there were Ascended that stayed in the Elementus Chosen Trial, using the trial as their own personal training ground. Yet none of them should act against Bai Yuxi for no reason. The inner rage in her heart was rising to explosive limits.
"NEO-DAWN ECLIPSE PILL!"
Wei Wuyin's words seemed to speak into existence an unfathomable force, and the silver pill trembled as its radiance erupted into an enchanting brilliance. "If the Everlore Ascension Pill is named after allowing one to ascend past their limits perfectly, then this pill will be named because it will eclipse all conventions with its effects. It will forever represent: Cultivation has no limits, and a New Dawn can always Eclipse old conventions."
Wei Wuyin felt his heart invested into this pill, feeling one with it. The Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill was a unique pill that had never been concocted before, and while the concept wasn't new, with even Lin Ming achieving it, the way it was forged was fresh and utterly costless. There were only benefits, no detriments. There was no flaw.
Wei Wuyin took several breaths as he calmed his surging emotions, keeping the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill alongside the others. After cleaning up the mountain, he left and was immediately greeted by the aurora-like net that blanketed the sky.
Amazed, he was about to inspect it when a flash of light came from the horizon. He turned around, his eyes exuding a faint light of vigilance. The flash of light belonged to an approaching comet of energy that arrived before him, halting abruptly and floating in front of him.
It was a letter.
It had golden embroidery with a white design that contained various flora patterns. It was quite beautiful, and even gave off a faint fragrant scent. Wei Wuyin was doubtless as to who this belonged to.
With a wave of his hand, he caught the letter and found that it was marked by a seal that carried a strange looking golden rose that looked like a blooming lotus, a mixture of the two. The seal was easily broken as he opened the letter and found a firm rectangular-shaped card inside.
The card read:
"I, Third Manager of the Golden Life Pavilion, Ma Zheng, invites you to the Golden Life Pavilion in the Aeternal Sky Starfield as our honored guest to discuss the matter of the destruction of our 5th World Realm, the Devil War Realm."
Wei Wuyin's expression didn't darken or even show any sign of surprise. Instead, he faintly smiled. And even as he looked at the back of the letter, he didn't react much but chuckled softly in amusement.
"To ensure your timely and certain arrival, the dragons and other beasts of this starfield will be our honored guests until then. Please retrieve them at your leisure."
Others might construe this as a threat, but Wei Wuyin didn't. If the Ascended sought him or his allies harm, this was the most horrible way to go about it. It reeked of good intentions.
Wei Wuyin had already received transmissions about their strange disappearances. He had the sneaky suspicion that a force that was shaped or influenced by the likes of Divine King Han Xei might not act to save beasts, beastmen, or demons. The total absence of them in the Four Extreme Continent was very telling. If so, this might be an expression of his karmic luck saving the others. While not a certainty, it was a possibility.
'But what about the demons? Or is it not the True Element Sect taking action?' Wei Wuyin pondered this question for a moment before he set that aside. He didn't have time to consider these things, all that mattered was getting everyone out, in whatever way possible.
With a step, he transformed into a blazing comet that streaked across the sky.
