Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie digested the 【Original Rune True Explanation】 and 【Universe in the Sleeves】 obtained from the third level. After the array diagram recovered, the stone steps appeared, the passage opened, and he arrived at the fourth level.

This level was still no different from the previous three levels, but the space was even wider, and the amount of dragon vein energy inside was even more than the third level!

Throughout the hall's airspace, the sky was filled with transformed dragon veins soaring, each dragon body like a mountain range, the deep dragon roars incessant, shaking the hall, and the dragon vein energy surged.

“So many dragon veins!”

Although he had seen an astonishing number of dragon veins in the previous three levels, Jun Wuxie was still shocked when he arrived at the fourth level.

“This number is too exaggerated, how could there be such a terrifying number of dragon veins?”

Jun Wuxie was dumbfounded. The number of dragon veins on the fourth level was over three thousand.

Each of these transformed dragon veins was an independent great dragon vein, not a small dragon vein derived from a great dragon vein. Their grade was slightly higher than the dragon vein he obtained in the secret Black Mountain, all of them being of the peak half-sage quality.

Any one of such grade dragon veins could support the sect environment of a master-level force.

Jun Wuxie really couldn't understand where the owner of the ancient pagoda got so many dragon veins.

Apart from special life ancient stars like Emperor Beginning Star, the total number of dragon veins on the entire planet of other ancient stars might not be so large, right?

Moreover, not all the dragon veins on a star can be captured and used by cultivators. The star's original dragon veins are dormant deep beneath the earth, at a depth close to the star's core.

On those large stars, even the most powerful experts at the peak of the Extremely High Position realm could do nothing about the dragon veins born near the star's core. If they forcibly went deep to capture them, they would be attacked by the star's will.

Ordinary stars do not have star will, but those large stars have star will, which is the ability given by the cosmic order at the time of their birth.

“This time, I’ve really struck it rich! I used to think that collecting ten thousand dragon veins was like a fantasy, something that would be impossible to do for a long time. Who would have thought that coming to this star and entering this ancient pagoda would allow me to encounter a massive number of dragon veins, hahaha!”

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth turned up, and his joy overflowed. He was in a really comfortable mood.

This trip was very rewarding, and the benefits he received were beyond imagination.

The second profession, 【Original Rune Master】, and the Original Rune Master's exclusive divine ability, 【Universe in the Sleeves】, plus the dragon veins on each level, the awakening of the Dragon Cry War Spear…

“Life is really amazing. When you take a step forward, you don’t know what you will encounter. Those with great luck have opportunities falling from the sky. As long as they can grasp them, they can all be turned into their own strength…”

He was somewhat sentimental. Originally, the opportunity here did not only belong to him. The first to encounter this opportunity was the Azure Sky Battle Body.

Unfortunately, the Azure Sky Battle Body failed to grasp this opportunity, and he won this opportunity competition.

Holding the Dragon Cry, he strode forward, heading straight for the abyss stone bridge.

Countless dragon veins soared and shuttled, coming towards him, crowding around him, and making submissive low roars.

“Don’t worry, after I collect the opportunities here layer by layer, I will take you all away when I return.”

Jun Wuxie reached out and stroked the dragon head of a transformed dragon vein. Those dragon veins were spiritual, their eyes very human-like, and their huge dragon heads rubbed against his hand.

Stepping onto the stone bridge and crossing the abyss, he arrived in front of the bronze coffin.

The coffin here was still bound by thick black iron chains, and the star array diagram was engraved on the coffin.

As always, the Dragon Cry War Spear would immediately transform into an Azure Dragon upon seeing the bronze coffin, lying on the coffin and making sorrowful low roars.

Jun Wuxie stood quietly in front of the bronze coffin, waiting silently for the Dragon Cry to convey its sorrow and longing to the bronze coffin, without disturbing it.

It was the same on all four levels, and he had a certain guess in his mind.

The Dragon Cry could not have so many former owners. Its reaction like this most likely meant that those buried in these bronze coffins were all the same person.

“The Dragon Cry’s former owner may have been dismembered and buried…”

This was his guess. Although he couldn't be sure that this was the case, he felt that it was very likely.

Feeling that the time was almost up, he retracted the Dragon Cry, opened the Eternal Life Divine Palace, put the bronze coffin into it, and obtained the box and metal book page on it.

When the stone steps appeared and the passage opened, he arrived at the fifth level.

The number of dragon veins here was even more than the fourth level.

The moment he arrived here, his heart thumped, as if struck by a heavy hammer, contracting violently, giving the unprepared him a strong sense of suffocation.

Thump! Thump, thump!

…

Deep in the hall, on the other side of the abyss, a sound similar to a heartbeat came from inside the bronze coffin wrapped in black iron chains, shaking the space here in rhythm.

Jun Wuxie felt extremely uncomfortable and hurriedly circulated his power to protect his heart meridian. Even so, he still felt suffocated. Each time the sound rang, it was as if an invisible palm heavily pinched his heart.

“If I guess correctly, the bronze coffin on this level should be burying the heart. The previous four levels are likely to be the limbs…”

Jun Wuxie took a deep breath and stepped towards the other side of the abyss. The closer he got, the stronger the impact brought by the heartbeat, making him feel like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his qi and blood were in disorder.

He looked solemn. The heart inside was too terrifying!

It should be known that this was still sealed in a bronze coffin, sealed by a star array diagram, and trapped by black iron chains.

Moreover, his heart was the Chaos Saint Heart, with extremely strong endurance, but he still felt that it had reached the limit of what he could withstand.

It could be imagined that if someone else came here, they would probably not be able to reach the abyss of the fifth level at all, and would not be able to get close to this bronze coffin.

“Descendant, very good, you can walk here, indicating that you should be the destined person I am waiting for, and will have the opportunity to obtain all my inheritance.”

A deep and ancient voice sounded from under the abyss.

“Senior, are you the owner of this ancient pagoda? Are you the Original Rune Master?”

Jun Wuxie looked down into the abyss, dark and deep, unable to see anything, but he had a creepy feeling, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from under the abyss.

“Descendant, it is meaningless for you to ask these questions now. It is still difficult to determine whether you can walk to the seventh level, and whether you can fulfill my conditions on the seventh level. Before that, I will not answer any of your questions. When you truly gain my approval, I will naturally let you know what you should know.”

Jun Wuxie: …

He was just about to ask why he had to be dismembered and buried, who was buried in the bronze coffin, whether it was the owner of this pagoda himself or someone else.

As a result, that voice blocked his mouth with one sentence.

He didn't dwell on it. Anyway, on the seventh level, all the mysteries would be revealed.

Following the same method, he used the Eternal Life Divine Palace to collect the bronze coffin, obtained the box and book page, and accepted the cultivation method on the spot, digesting this information while waiting for the stone steps and the space door to open.

In this way, he smoothly arrived at the sixth level, collected the bronze coffin, obtained the box and book page, and ascended to the seventh level.

This was the last level of the ancient pagoda.

This level was completely different from the six levels below.

When he arrived here, what Jun Wuxie saw was not a hall, but a starry void.

This entire place was like a huge star array diagram.

Countless rune stars were arranged according to special rules, and he could feel the vast and mighty power contained within.

In the center of the star array diagram, there was a coffin, located at the core position of the array diagram, surrounded by starlight, and filled with the power of the universe, hazy and mysterious.

The thick iron chains wrapped around the bronze coffin, and the engraved runes were also like condensed stars embedded on it.

Jun Wuxie carefully observed the star array diagram here, and found that dragon energy would occasionally gather in the array diagram, and then disappear.

At the same time, mysterious and incomparably pure energy gathered towards the center of the star diagram, constantly pouring into the bronze coffin, causing the star array diagram engraved on the bronze coffin to also be filled with brilliant starlight.

There was still a box and a metal book page on the bronze coffin.

“You’ve come.”

A voice came from inside the bronze coffin, the same voice he had heard before, deep and ancient.

“For endless ages, I have waited for too long, and finally waited for such a person, but I don’t know if you are really the person I am waiting for…” The voice sighed, and then said: “Now, you will open the six bronze coffins below, and put the body parts buried inside together.”

“You want me to open the bronze coffins?” Jun Wuxie was stunned, and then said: “Don’t you know your own situation? The body parts buried in those coffins are all infected by the Dark Curse, and it is a very high level Dark Curse. What makes you think I can open them?”

“Back then, when I was most desperate, a voice told me that in the future great world, a descendant who is not afraid of the Dark Curse will appear, and he may be my only hope. I dismembered myself and buried myself in different coffins, and then set up a star array diagram, gathering the cosmic star dragon energy, gathering the power of the universe, purifying myself, resisting the erosion of darkness, and surviving until today…”

“Why should I believe your one-sided words? If you have already been eroded by the Dark Curse, and are now just pretending to be in a state of remaining intelligence, deceiving me to merge your body, what should I do? This matter is no small matter, I cannot easily believe you!”

“Very good, you have such meticulous thoughts, I am very gratified. In fact, you don’t have to worry, if you are really that person, you will naturally have a way to remove the Dark Curse from my remnant body. At that time, without the Dark Curse, even if my flesh has long been turned into an evil body due to the Dark Curse, it will only be a bare body. Without the driving force of the Dark Will, how can it threaten you, let alone the lower realm.”

“What you say makes some sense.” Jun Wuxie looked at the coffin and said, “Actually, I'm not afraid of you pretending. Since I dared to bring those bronze coffins to the seventh level, I have ways to deal with it.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he opened the Eternal Divine Palace, trying to take the bronze coffin in the center of the Starry Sky Array Diagram, but found that the bronze coffin did not move at all.

The Starry Sky Array Diagram held it firmly in place, and with his current strength, he could not shake it.

“You are resisting. Are you afraid?” Jun Wuxie said coldly, “If you want me to assemble a body for you, then you have to come into my body, otherwise, forget it!”

“I have not succumbed to the will of the Dark Curse, so what is there to fear?”

The voice in the bronze coffin said frankly, and then the entire coffin broke away from the Starry Sky Array Diagram and flew directly towards Jun Wuxie.

“Very good!”

Jun Wuxie opened the Eternal Divine Palace again and directly took it in.

He stepped to the center of the Starry Sky Array Diagram and reached out to take the box and metal book pages.
