Boundless Star power, erupted without any warning.
The violent and savage qi enveloped the entire Fairy City, Ursa Major Constellation suddenly emerged in the sky, causing a thick and solid golden light pillar to congeal from the sky downwards, covering Tang Tian and the other few people.
Tang Tian felt as if his body was being dropped into a stove, the golden light aura had an intense heat that went into his skin.
Tang Tian stared at his palm in a daze.
It was…. Star Power!
Extremely pure Star Power!
The bone in his hand slowly merged with the golden light, transforming into a golden liquid, with a noticeable speed, it quickly submerged into his palm. The cold feeling made him feel extremely comfortable, it was the ultimate pure Star Power.
Bang bang bang!
The pillar continued to soar down, causing the range of 15m around Tang Tian to form a dazzling golden halo, covering the few people inside.
The sword in Crane’s hand buzzed and trembled, frantically absorbing the golden star power substance.
The silver spear in Ling Xu’s hands, along with the Sheep Horn Wind Bells which were like two vortices, sucked in the star power with all of its might.
Jian Feng Yuan’s face showed a look of happiness, such rich Star Power, to him, was supreme tonic! Rong Rou who was at the side had a complicated look, he laughed bitterly in his heart, he trained in the legacy of Ursa Major Constellation, so the extremely pure star power surging into him was extremely beneficial. But after that day, he and Jian Feng Yuan would most likely become enemies of Ursa Major Constellation, as the King would definitely not let the two of them go.
The legend was real.
The Golden Bone was one of the three Gold Rank Sacred Treasures of Ursa Major Constellation, [Desolate Bear Bone]! Ursa Major Constellation had three gold treasures, [Head of the King Bear], [Desolate Bear Bone] and [Demonic Bear Secret Claw], in which the [Desolate Bear Bone] was the strongest, and the most mysterious.
With regards to the Desolate Bear Bone, there was a legend that was passed down, that it was related to Ursa Major Constellation’s fate. The legend did not have any details, and no one was clear about it, and the Desolate Bear Bone was the weakest amongst the three in helping in battles. The Head of the King Bear was the saint treasure of Ursa Major Constellation, held by Bear King Yan Yong Lie, while the Demonic Bear Secret Claw was with the commander of Grizzly Bear Army, Tu Qing.
Yan Yong Lie gave the desolate Bear Bone to Yan Tu, but he did not expect that….
Rong Rou finally understood why the Desolate Bear Bone was connected with the fate of Ursa Major Constellation. The reason was simple, Star Power, it contained a boundless amount of Ursa Major Constellation’s Star Power!
The pure true power surged into his body, continuously rushing throughout, his skin started to change to a faint dim gold color. The wounds in his body were rapidly healing, the halt in cultivation for many years, started to revitalize.
Jian Feng Yuan was also absorbing the Star Power with all his might.
But the efficiency of the two of them, as compared to Crane and Ling Xu, were far lacking.
Crane’s sword was Grus(Crane) Constellation’s saint treasure, but it had been sealed for so many years, and Grus(Crane) Constellation had declined for so long, its star power had dried up, after being unable to obtain any for a long period of time, it was extremely far from its peak. At the present, it was having its best chance to recover. The Star power of Ursa Major Constellation, was stronger than Grus Constellation by 2 levels, how else would it be able to obtain such rich star power?
And for Ling Xu’s Sheep Horn Wind Bells, it was once a Silver Frost Mount remnant, which had a rich history. But the Aries Constellation legacy had been replaced, and it was no longer nourished with Star Power, to obtain such a rare opportunity, it was like a dried up land greedily absorbing the energy.
But the most surprising one was actually Tang Tian. Tang Tian was like a bottomless pit, the top of his head surprisingly had a golden torrent, similar to a golden waterfall, frantically surging into his body.
Tang Tian groaned.
Bang! Golden flames started to be released from his body, his clothes all transforming into ashes.
Tang Tian felt as if he was a piece of metal thrown into a stove, his flesh was continuously being tempered. After absorbing the Heavenly Martial Werewolf blood meridian, his body had become extremely strong. Before, using Chi Guang and Duan Mu to spar, he had managed to absorb and assimilate the 92% pure Heavenly Martial Werewolf blood meridian. The state of his body had soared tremendously in every aspect, regardless of strength or speed, they had all reached an unimaginable state. He thought that his fleshly body had reached a pinnacle.
But, just when he thought he had arrived at the most perfect body, inside the golden flames, it was actually very weak.
He felt like he was being reborn through the pain.
Wu Xia’s men all stopped, they all stared at the light pillar in disbelief. The light pillar was too obvious, and could be observed by the entire Fairy City.
“My star treasure! My star treasure is becoming weaker!”
Suddenly, one of the subordinate shouted in fear, causing the rest to be startled, then all of their faces changed.
Their treasures were becoming weaker. The change in strength was not fast, but it was obvious, and they were very clear about it.
In such a situation, there were only two reasons, one was the fall of the saint treasure, another was that the star power of the constellation was being depleted, and hurting the main constellation.
The star power of the constellation was birthed by the constellation itself, and was always continuous. If it suffered a huge depletion, it would affect the rotation of the constellation, and the star power being produced would shrink substantially.
To a constellation, such a consequence was detrimental. No matter how strong the martial artist was, or how weak the martial artist, the shrinkage of star power would cause all the treasures to enter a recession. The might of the treasures would be weakened, and the martial artists of the constellation would be the most affected. The energy that had sustained their lives, would plummet quickly, and the strength of the constellation would decline…
It was a horrible and vicious circle.
******
Ursa Major Constellation was already in a mess.
When the star power started to have undulations, he was able to feel it. He suddenly stood up, his face surfacing a look of disbelief, in the next moment, the blood of his face was drained, and instantly, it looked like he aged a lot.
His fist was clenched extremely tightly, his entire body shivering.
“Tu’er, whoever it was, I will take revenge for you!”
The words through his clenched teeth were filled with killing intent.
Chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the palace. Yan Yong Lie once again recovered his calm and unwavering peacefulness, he turned and walked up the flight of steps, sitting on his King seat.
A group of people rushed into the palace like a tide, all of them looking panicked.
“Your majesty! Not good!”
“Your majesty….”
The people were looking at Yan Yong Lie as though he was the last straw of survival, all of them shouting to be saved.
“All of you, shut up!”
Yan Yong Lie’s roar was like the enraged king bear of the forest, resonating inside the big palace, all the noise immediately disappeared, everyone was stunned, not daring to speak a word.
Yan Yong Lie squinted his eyes that were filled with killing intent, slowly sweeping across everyone before him.
Just at that moment, an imposing figure fully dressed in armor stepped into the palace and greeted: “Your majesty!”
Grizzly Bear Army Commander, Tu Qing!
Tu Qing’s face was thin and long, his gaze as sharp as a sword, his expression solemn, entire body dressed in armor. When he entered, the armor would produce metal clashing sounds. Everyone’s heart immediately became more calm, the two most important and most powerful people of Ursa Major Constellation had appeared, and no matter how upset they were, they would have a way.
Yan Yong Lie said coldly: “Other than General Tu, the rest of you, retreat!”
Hearing that, everyone looked at each other in dismay, but all of them turned and like a gush of water, they retreated. In the blink of an eye, the big palace was left with Yan Yong Lie and Tu Qing.
“Tu’er has met with mishap.” Yan Yong Lie’s tone was calm.
Tu Qing had already guessed it before coming. He had followed Yan Yong Lie for so many years, and could hear the grief and pain contained inside Yan Yong Lie’s calm way of speaking. Yan Tu was deeply loved by Yan Yong Lie, and was the first in line successor of Ursa Major Constellation. The next few behind, compared to Yan Tu, were very far behind.
Tu Qing sighed, and warmly consoled: “Your majesty should take time to grieve.”
“You don’t have to worry for me.” Yan Yong Lie waved his hand, and spoke: “The Desolate Bear Bone once held the qualifications to be the saint gold treasure, but because it could only hold star power and was not good in combat, the head of the King Bear was hailed as the saint treasure. Ursa Major Constellation had split its star power into three under its control. I gave it to Tu’er for him to use the Star Power to train, never did I expect…”
Tu Qing’s expression congealed: “This matter is truly weird. Although it contains ⅓ of the star power, but it only works 1% of the time. To be able to extract the star power to this scale, it has never happened before.”
Yan Yong Lie shook his head: “There will be no more Desolate Bear Bone in the future.”
Tu Qing was startled, spoke with a lost voice: “Don’t tell me…”
“This is it’s final eruption.” Yan Yong Lie spoke coldly: “To be able to make the Desolate Bear Bone erupt, I am very curious who has the capability to do so.”
Shock flashed past Tu Qing’s eyes, even Yan Tu was definitely not able to ignite the Desolate Bear Bone’s martial spirit, if the opponent was able to do it, it was completely violating common sense!
“Ignore that first.” Yan Yong Lie squinted his eyes: “We have already reached the most dangerous moment, tell Honorable Martial Group, we are changing our plans and request to immediately attack Orion Constellation. By directly attacking, we will give up on the original plan of taking Andromeda Constellation.”
“Your majesty!” Tu Qing was shocked.
“You must definitely win this battle!” Yan Yong Lie said fiercely to Tu Qing, like a fierce explosive bear: “We have no more time, Ii can only help you obtain two more months of time.”
Tu Qing was shaken to his core, and could not resist but exclaim: “Your majesty, you cannot!”
Yan Yong Lie smiled, showing his teeth, it was very sinister: “Before I slowly deteriorate, I will bet my life in this deathmatch, the heavens are already very kind to me. 10 years of lifespan, to obtain this chance, it is worth it!”
“For three months, your star treasure, not only will it not become weaker, but it will become stronger!” Yan Yong Lie said with a crazed look in his eyes: “When you launch your surprise attack, I will immediately send the mobilization order! Take down Orion Constellation, and only with that can we survive! This fight, if we do not win, we will die. If we win, we will have everything. If we lose, we will have nothing.”
“Your Majesty….”
Tu Qing’s throat seemed to be stuck with something.
“Win! Only by winning, can you make my sacrifice be of value!” Yan Yong Lie placed both hands on Tu Qing’s shoulders, a berserk look in his eyes: “Promise me, you must win! Promise me!”
Tu Qing did not say anything, he just nodded his head heavily, and then used all his strength to nod fiercely.
“Hahahaha! Good! Our Ursa Major martial artists, have never been scared of anyone!” Yan Yong Lie laughed to the skies. He suddenly stopped laughing and said in a deep voice: “Go prepare then!”
Tu Qing turned around and left the palace.
Behind him, an astonishing energy ripple surged to the sky.
Tu Qing stopped in his tracks, looking at the mist above him, he bit on his lips tightly, raising his head, his gaze was stern as he took big strides.
No victory, no going back!
