Chapter 589: An Art That Can’t Be Practiced!!!?
“Huuuuuu.” With a loud exhale, Zeras’ eyes gleamed in focus, clearing away every thought in his head, and in the next instant, he got on both knees, hands stretched forward toward the sky adorned with the light of a thousand stars.
Upon getting into the appropriate stance, he focused half of his consciousness on his spine while focusing the other deeply into the stars in the night sky.
Once he had a clear vision of them both, his lips parted, and he began chanting the sutra:
“Desolate Stars To The Night Sky. Hegemony In Quietness and Purity. From Ordinary To Beyond. From The Confines Of Mortality To Acceptance Of Desolateness…”
“Desolate Stars To The Night Sky. Hegemony In Quietness and Purity. From Ordinary To Beyond. From The Confines Of Mortality To Acceptance Of Desolateness…”
“Desolate Stars To The Night Sky. Hegemony In Quietness and Purity. From Ordinary To Beyond. From The Confines Of Mortality To Acceptance Of Desolateness…”
“Desolate Stars To The Night Sky. Hegemony In Quietness and Purity. From Ordinary To Beyond. From The Confines Of Mortality To Acceptance Of Desolateness…”
Deep through the night sky, a figure could be seen on the highest mountain to be found in this part of the Outer Sect Court. He kneeled on both legs, his two hands stretched upwards, and his head bowed down, and repeatedly he chanted the words, seemingly like a deranged servant, begging its master to keep its life.
But after close to three hours of relentlessly chanting, one would notice a strange scene of all the stars in the night sky starting to shift away from their place, and all began congregating around the young man, as their lights began concentrating on his figure.
It came suddenly, but surely. Slowly, Zeras could feel the brightness around him, but he dared not raise his head to the sky, or the ritual would be broken.
So he remained on his knees, chanting endlessly, and soon, he began to feel a piercing pain, like a thousand blades being stabbed into his body.
Without needing to raise his head, he knew well what could have been the source. It was none other than the stinging pain of the rays of starlight concentrating themselves on him.
And officially, the beginning cultivation started, as Zeras began noticing silver particles in his bloodstream, remnants of the light that stabbed onto his body.
‘Now, to direct the remnants of astral energy into the spine itself, strengthening its outer part…’
With the connection with the stars already formed, Zeras took his consciousness away from them and then focused it on the tiny astral energy, sweeping them into his spine…
And the next instant, they touched Zeras’ spine, a colossal pain shot through his entire body, and what followed was the feeling of the swords stabbing into his body increasing by a thousand times.
Immediately, Zeras broke his stance, as his eyes shot open, thick crimson veins squirming within his body.
“ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!”
What followed was a deafening roar of pain that was unheard by a single soul, due to him simply being too far from the Outer Sect concentrated area, and it being the dark of the night when anyone who had the chance of hearing him was all snoring due to the day’s incredibly hard work, which had no difference to literally slavery.
“PAIN!”
“PAIN!”
“I AM BURNING!!!” Zeras screamed out in pain as he looked at his own hands and saw that the skin on them had already been burned off from the stinging rays of light!
And the same could be said to the rest of his body, as smoke arose out of Zeras’ body, and his skin visibly fried by stinging rays of light.
Yet when he dived his consciousness into his spine, he could see it was now completely enveloped in a silvery light, flaring brightly, a sign of the Desolate Star Body already condensing itself without his help.
Even through the Outer Destruction, what was ongoing internally was Creation!
And only now did he understand, all he had to do was to simply set the connection, the cultivation manual would handle the remaining things…
But that also left a single responsibility to him, and that was him trying his best to resist having his skin burnt off, his veins fried, and with every single ounce of blood dripping out of his body…
Nothing was spared…
BLOOD, TISSUES, FLESH, SKIN, ORGANS, BONE! EVERYTHING burned.
Everything was set ablaze by the stinging rays of light, as Zeras laid there on all fours, teeth grinding against each other as he was reduced from a handsome-looking human body to a literal emaciated bony corpse with not the slightest bit of blood at all in his body and his rags and tissues shrinking and shrinking.
The only thing that was in an opposite state was his spine which let out an incredibly silvery light forming a mini bright torch of silver, and with Zeras’ entire back burned off, his spine could now directly meet with the starlight, and it was like a greedy sponge absorbing everything in without any sort of limits…
Only now did Zeras realize something about the art.
“This can’t be practiced!!!”
Yes. It was an art from a different universe, possessing different laws of cultivation. Different races, different constitution, different body!
What makes him think he could just pick up an art from an absolutely different universe and hope to practice it!?
“Screw You!!!” Zeras roared out in anger as the rays of light furiously burned his body, wanting to reduce it to ashes. Even the natural laws of the Takamahagara universe reject the existence of an alien art.
“Forbidden or not. Acceptable or not! Only I get to decide!!!” Zeras roared out in mad anger, and in the next instant, his body figure stood upright, spreading both arms apart to envelope the stinging rays of light that quickly burned off the remaining piece of flesh surrounding his body.
Then he was reduced to nothing but a skeleton with a shiny spine, and small dried droplets on his bones, and a small egg-sized object that was barely pumping as he opened his face wide to the stinging rays of light and spread his hands apart.
“I am a conglomeration of thousands of stars laying dormant deep within my soul! This puny amount of astral energy can never be enough for me to devour, much less reduce me to ashes. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“Conglomeration of My Soul Stars!!! OPEN!!!”
