Chapter 471 - Cosmic Array

“Success!”

Lin Feng retracted the Spear of Destruction. How vast was the annihilative power of a collapsing star? It was naturally a piece of cake to replenish the Spear of Destruction.

“Your Highness Lin Feng, let’s go.”

Venerable Vigil used his massive combat body and quickly flew towards the depths of the universe.

Lin Feng also used his combat body and followed closely behind.

After traveling for a long time, Lin Feng realized that Venerable Vigil had actually arrived near another star, and was flying directly towards it.

“Your Excellency, what are you doing?”

“Your Highness Lin Feng, there’s something you don’t know. I actually refined a total of nine Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire. They have to be refined using the flames within a star for a hundred years before completion.”

“Now that a hundred years are up, I can retrieve the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire.”

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that there were actually nine such Origin Weapons, and they could form a set. Moreover, the refinement method was very special and actually required stars.

Once the nine were refined, the power would definitely be very terrifying.

“Venerable, doesn’t this mean that I’ve ruined the refinement of this Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire?”

Lin Feng felt somewhat apologetic. All the hard work for a hundred years had been destroyed in a day. No wonder Venerable Vigil was so furious the moment he arrived. If it had been Lin Feng who was refining an Origin Weapon, and it had been destroyed overnight, he would also be incomparably angered.

However, Venerable Vigil shook his head and said, “It’s fine. Actually, the refinement of this Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire is almost complete. Your Highness Lin Feng only helped me to retrieve it. It didn’t damage the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire.”

“I’m relieved to hear that.”

As long as he had not caused the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire to be lost, the rest did not matter much.

Venerable Vigil rushed in front of the star. Then, his massive combat body extended its gigantic hand and struck the star directly.

“Open!”

Rumble.

The giant hand blotted out everything. It shattered the star with a single palm strike. Terrifying energy spread in all directions, and a star was blasted apart just like that.

The aftershock naturally did not pose any threat to Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil. Nine more Golden Crows and an Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire flew out of the shattered star, and were retrieved by Venerable Vigil.

Next, one star after another was blasted apart by Venerable Vigil. He took out the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire cultured within them. Lin Feng looked at the stars being blasted apart and destroyed one after another, and felt a little sorry.

As if sensing Lin Feng’s discomfort, Venerable Vigil said with a smile, “Your Highness Lin Feng, do you find it destroying stars like this a little unbearable?”

Lin Feng nodded as well. Venerable Vigil shook his head and said with a smile, “Looks like Your Highness has never been to many places in the universe. You must have been cultivating hard in the Divine Palace of Bemond, right?”

“The vast universe is simply too huge. As long as there are no inhabited planets nearby, it doesn’t matter if these stars are destroyed, because this is nothing to the vast universe. Ordinary galaxies have at least hundreds of billions of stars, or even more. Stars are being destroyed at every moment, but at the same time, stars are born at every moment.”

“The last thing the universe lacks is celestial bodies like stars. In comparison, planets with life are very special. Almost every planet with life is unique. If it disappears, it will disappear forever. That is why those devouring lifeforms and fiends are the public enemy of cultivators.”

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. He said in a low voice, “Your Excellency, you also know about fiends?”

“Of course. Fiends are what I abhor the most! Devouring lifeforms just act on instinct, but these fiends are the public enemy of cultivators. The North River Galaxy is open, so many fiends are also taking advantage of the situation in the North River Galaxy. My home planet was almost devoured by fiends once. I will definitely eliminate any fiends I encounter!”

With that, Venerable Vigil also gave Lin Feng a meaningful look.

“When I first saw Your Highness, I thought that Your Highness was a fiend. After all, fiends are best at disguise. Sometimes, those fiends can disguise themselves for tens of thousands of years.”

Lin Feng came to a realization and said, “So Your Excellency attacked as soon as you arrived, not entirely because the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire had been taken? Actually, you also wanted to test if I’m a fiend?”

“That’s right. Fiends are just too good at disguising themselves in the North River Galaxy. I had to do it. I hope Your Highness Lin Feng can understand.”

To have gained a foothold in the North River Galaxy, Venerable Vigil was naturally meticulous. He might appear rash, but he was actually cautious and thoughtful. Lin Feng could not help but think highly of him.

“Your Excellency, you are too kind. I also abhor fiends deeply. Looks like we are the same kind of people. It’s just as the saying goes, no discord, no concord.”

“That’s right. No discord, no concord. Brother Lin Feng, don’t stand on ceremony. Just call me Vigil in the future.”

“How can that do? Your Excellency has cultivated for longer than I. Then, if I may be so bold, I’ll address Your Excellency as Big Brother in the future.”

“Haha, that’s great!”

“Big Brother Vigil.”

The two of them became acquainted through an exchange of blows. Moreover, Venerable Vigil’s personality was quite to Lin Feng’s liking. They really wished they had met sooner, and they quickly addressed each other as brothers.

Of course, Lin Feng’s strength was not inferior to Venerable Vigil’s. This was a very important point. It was impossible for an elephant to be friends with an ant. Only entities on equal levels could be considered true friends.

Hence, Lin Feng followed Venerable Vigil and flew straight towards the North River Galaxy.

…

“Brother Lin Feng, the planet ahead is Planet Vigil.”

Venerable Vigil introduced it to Lin Feng with a smile.

Lin Feng focused his gaze. There were indeed some huge planets ahead, and also some stars and planets within a radius of half a light-year.

There were a total of 72 planets. They seemed to be arranged in a special formation to guard Planet Vigil in the middle.

“An array?”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He thought of something special in cultivation—arrays.

“Brother Lin Feng, you have a good eye! That’s right, this is an array. I used more than a thousand years to move one planet after another, gathering 72 planets to form the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes! Within the range of these 72 planets, when the array is activated to gather the power of 72 planets, even advanced planetary lifeforms can’t do anything.”

“If I am controlling the array, it can even resist those ultimate planetary lifeforms for a period of time.”

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. He had really never seen arrays before. He had only learned some general knowledge about them in the Divine Palace.

As for why the Divine Palace did not have any array formations, the reason was too simple. With Divine King Bemond presiding over it, what was the use of arrays? What array could contend against great galactic-level beings?

The so-called arrays used the power of some planets and arranged them into a special formation. The strongest arrays could even resist those ultimate planetary lifeforms.

However, at the galactic level, arrays were not of much use.

Still, cosmic arrays were indispensable in an open and chaotic galaxy like the North River Galaxy.
