Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 487: Hint Of Black In The Spacetime Rift (2)

In the Greenridge Macrocosm, layers of spacetime overlapped, containing tens of millions of immortal continent planes.

New spacetime worlds were constantly created and opened, and numerous worldlets were being constantly born and destroyed.

The so-called macrocosm symbolized the concept of infinite worlds. No one could truly count exactly how many worlds there were in the Greenridge Macrocosm.

The Taiyuan Divine Court, a top power renowned throughout the endless river of space and time, had numerous branches rooted in various macrocosms. These branches formed many subsidiary forces, collectively supporting the glory of the divine court headquarters.

In the sprawling Greenridge Macrocosm, the core power of the Taiyuan Divine Court lay in the Eternal Sun Immortal World and the Bloodforge Devil Hall.

Yet, the macrocosm was vast, and wars were waged between countless factions. The Eternal Sun Immortal World and Bloodforge Devil Hall were but one of many factions within the macrocosm. There were factions that rose to power within the macrocosm, dominating a part of it.

And just like the Taiyuan Divine Court, other top-tier major factions from the endless river of space and time could make their way in.

For instance, the Immortal Court.

And also, Eldritch! A name passed down since the earliest of times.

Eldritch was a word that had many meanings. It represented a type of mentality, a cultivation sect, and even a massive force that shook the vast river of space and time.

The Cang Feng Eldritch World is such a top-tier major faction of the Eldritch lineage within the Greenridge Macrocosm. In terms of overall power, the Cang Feng Eldritch World was not much weaker than the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

The core sector of the Cang Feng Eldritch World was an incredibly vast world, transformed from an immortal continent. It was a place with boundless mountains and rivers.

This vast world was inhabited by countless robust figures with profound auras and rugged attire, many among whom were colossal giants hundreds or even thousands of zhangs tall.

The majority of cultivators in the Eternal Sun Immortal World were qi refiners, and body refiners were the minority.

But in this core location of the Cang Feng Eldritch World, a sacred cultivation ground for eldritch cultivators, body refining was the mainstream cultivation path. More than half of the cultivators here were body refiners.

This world was at least a hundred times larger than a single immortal continent, if not more.

At the center of the world was a massive city, equally bustling with numerous floating halls.

Countless eldritch cultivators lived here. Those who could establish halls in Cang Feng City were Archeldritch-level existences at least.

Atop the colossal city loomed countless undulating hall clusters, swarming with scores of formidable warriors on patrol. Each exuded an indomitable aura, the embodiment of the majesty of the Cang Feng Eldritch World.

Inside one towering hall.

“Eldritch Sovereign, you summoned me?” A burly man clad in black armor respectfully bowed to the imposing throne at the end of the grand hall.

On that throne sat a middle-aged man clad in beast hide, his top bare.

His face was marked with a saber scar, and his aura was overwhelmingly aggressive. But the most terrifying characteristic of the man was his golden eyes.

"Hou Qu." The man’s booming voice echoed through the hall. "I recall that there was a decently talented High Eldritch named Hou Feng under your command?"

The burly man in black armor was taken aback. Hou Feng? A High Eldritch?

He was a super powerhouse governing an eldritch divine nation. In terms of power and fame, he was renowned throughout the macrocosm and was respectfully dubbed as Astral Monarch by numerous powerful eldritch cultivators, Archeldritches, and Archimmortals.

There were numerous Astral Lords and countless Archimmortals under his command. Why would he specifically pay attention to a mere High Eldritch?

However, as an Astral Monarch, the burly man in black armor naturally possessed an exceptional memory. He could even remember events from eons ago.

After a brief moment of recollection, a not too distant memory came to mind – a casualty list.

"Eldritch Sovereign, I do remember such a High Eldritch. He was indeed remarkable, a Sixth-Tribulation High Eldritch." Hou Qu, the Astral Monarch, said respectfully. "He had once established a small tribe and began a lineage of descendents in his name."

"However, over a hundred thousand years ago, countless worlds were engulfed in the great war that erupted between my Eldritch World and the Immortal Court. The Hou Feng Tribe was swept into it, and the entire immortal continent they resided in was annihilated, leading to the tribe's downfall.”

“Even Hou Feng himself fell in war with the Immortal Court's army.” The Astral Monarch said broodingly.

As he recounted the war from a hundred thousand years ago, a hint of lingering dread flickered within his eyes. That war...

Even for a mighty entity like him, it was a catastrophe.

Countless eldritch cultivators, immortal soldiers and generals met their end in that disaster. The fighting even affected the other superpowers of the macrocosm.

The battle between the Cang Feng Eldritch World and Immortal Court was simply too ferocious.

“Mm, the information is accurate.” Seated on the throne, the man clad in beast hide spoke lightly, “I have a task for you.”

“Eldritch Sovereign, what are your orders?” The Astral Monarch asked respectfully.

“A budding talent has just emerged in the Bloodforge Devil Hall by the name of Wu Yuan. Currently, he's at the ninth-stage Spiritual Body phase.” The man in beast hide spoke softly, “He's an eldritch warrior, with a second-degree immortal root.”

“He rose to prominence after acquiring a tiny portion of the Hou Feng Tribe's inheritance.”

Hearing this, the Astral Monarch felt puzzled.

Ninth-stage Spiritual Body? Too weak. For entities like them, even a body refiner at the Elysian Field phase could be said to have barely set foot on the path of cultivation.

Moreover, he emerged in the distant Bloodforge Devil Hall, a major faction that wasn't exactly on good terms with them.

“He’s currently participating in the Bloodforge Devil Hall's Golden Core Bloodforge Battle, and has even won the title of Bloodforge King.” The man in beast hide said nonchalantly, “But that's nothing special.”

Astral Monarch Hou Qu nodded in agreement.

Bloodforge King? Even an Amethyst Cradle Bloodforge King was an insignificant being to an entity like an Astral Monarch.

A genius was just a genius, not a true powerhouse.

Even if one was a peerless genius, they would have to face numerous trials and tribulations to become an Astral Lord or an Astral Monarch.

"However, Wu Yuan has just seized a Legendary opportunity in the Bloodforge Spacetime."

"Legendary opportunity?" The Astral Monarch Hou Qu was slightly surprised.

He might be an eldritch cultivator. But after living for billions of years, interacting with various factions in the macrocosm, he had heard of the wonders of Bloodforge Spacetime.

Those Ordinary, Moderate and Superior opportunities were nothing. Even Archimmortals wouldn't look twice at them.

However, starting from the so-called Mystic opportunities, it was a different story. Those were enough to spark envy in many High Immortals and even Archimmortals.

As for Legendary opportunities? They were even more rare and special!

"I've decided to take him in as my disciple. I would like you to make a trip to the Eternal Sun Immortal World on my behalf," said the man clad in beast hide, his voice cool and detached. "He's still weak, so keep this matter under wraps."

"A disciple?" The Astral Monarch was taken aback.

The Eldritch Sovereign was a super powerhouse that had ruled the Cang Feng Eldritch World for endless ages, standing at the peak of the entire macrocosm.

Perhaps the leaders of other major factions in the macrocosm, like the Eternal Sun Immortal World and the Bloodforge Devil Hall, would be on par with the Eldritch Sovereign. But they were at best on the same level.

Such a great existence taking on a disciple? It was undoubtedly a huge deal that would shake the entire Cang Feng Eldritch World and attract the attention of numerous factions.

"It's merely a nominal disciple," the man in beast hide said indifferently.

A nominal disciple? At present, he was at the Spiritual Body phase. Naturally, he would only be a nominal disciple. But once he overcame the Immortal Tribulations in the future and became an Archeldritch, he would naturally be promoted to direct disciple status.

Moreover, if an Archimmortal-level being was taken in as a nominal disciple, this signified that the Eldritch Sovereign was not too invested in that disciple’s growth.

But to be taken in as a nominal disciple before overcoming the Immortal Tribulations? Even if such an individual was weak, who knew what the Eldritch Sovereign’s future plans for them were?

Therefore, even Astral Monarchs were typically unwilling to offend such individuals.

Even if he has obtained a Legendary opportunity, it's still just an opportunity. No one knows how far he will go. What makes Wu Yuan so special that the Eldritch Sovereign would be interested to take him in? Thoughts fluttered around Astral Monarch Hou Qu’s mind.

As an Astral Monarch, he was highly knowledgeable, and had access to many secrets.

"Eldritch Sovereign, Wu Yuan obtained a great opportunity of the Bloodforge Spacetime. I fear the Bloodforge Devil Hall places immense importance on him. Am I to head to Eternal Sun Immortal World to snatch him?" Astral Monarch Hou Qu couldn't help but question

Astral Monarch Hou Qu wasn’t the least bit worried about abducting Wu Yuan. If it was an order, he would execute it.

However, he was concerned about straining relations between the two great factions.

The Eldritch World and the Immortal Court were embroiled in constant warfare, while parties like the Eternal Sun Immortal World and Bloodforge Devil Hall remained neutral. Neither side wanted to drag other great factions into their conflict.

"Of course I won't have you snatch him," the man clad in beast hide said nonchalantly. "Don't worry, just head directly to the Redmoon Immortal Continent. It’s under the command of the Silvermist Immortal Nation."

"I've already communicated with the Devil Sovereign. No one will stand in your way," the man in beast hide stated.

"Understood, I'll head there right away." Astral Monarch Hou Qu nodded, his worries put to rest as he swiftly departed from Cang Feng City.

He tore through spacetime, heading towards the Redmoon Immortal Continent.

Within the hall.

Even though Wu Yuan obtained a great opportunity, the Bloodforge Devil Hall proactively chose to send him over? What are their real intentions? The man in beast hide pondered after sensing Hou Qu's departure.

Nevertheless, the Eldritch Court has confirmed that there is no issue with Wu Yuan himself. They do not make mistakes... I just hope this Wu Yuan doesn't disappoint me. The man in beast hide stood up.

His decision behind taking in a disciple was motivated by his own reasons and objectives, not because of Wu Yuan's talent.

Even if he learned about Wu Yuan's Celestial Divine Body, so what? Having seen countless peerless geniuses during his endless tenure in the Cang Feng Eldritch World, he was not easily impressed.

The Voltari Temple. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his golden eyes, coupled with a slight worry.

The Voltari Temple was the Immortal Court's official subordinate faction in the macrocosm.

The conflict between the Eldritch lineage and the Immortal Court was unceasing, with no end in sight. These two mighty powers had waged war for countless eons, with their subordinate forces clashing across various macrocosms in the river of space and time.

The losses on both sides were colossal!

In some macrocosms, the lineage of the Eldritch had the upper hand, while in others, the Immortal Court prevailed.

There was no doubt that the Voltari Temple completely dominated the Cang Feng Eldritch World in their battles within the Greenridge Macrocosm.

Because of this, the birth of even one more superpower was a blessing for the Cang Feng Eldritch World.

...

In the Dragon Star Immortal Sect on the Redmoon Immortal Continent.

Inside the silent meditation chamber of Wu Yuan's world residence.

What’s happening to my body refiner true self? Wu Yuan's qi refiner self sat in a lotus position, a trace of fear in his heart.

The consciousness of both true selves was singular, but their souls were separate. Therefore, his qi refiner self was unaware of his body refiner self's situation; he could only sense that the body refiner self was still alive, just unconscious.

I was in the midst of choosing an opportunity when that bone fragment suddenly turned blood-red. The last thing I remember is the black pagoda emitting a crimson light. A hint of worry pulsed through Wu Yuan's qi refiner self.

He couldn’t remember what his body refiner self experienced or how he acted after that. Then, his body refiner self suddenly fell into a coma. It was eerily strange.

Let’s just wait a little longer. Wu Yuan muttered to himself, his heart queasy.
