Chapter 562: Subduing Lord Star (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Astral Palace, the Astral Power gathered and formed the Starlight River.

As Mei Wuyan felt the Astral Power coursing through him, even though he consciously absorbed it, he sensed it subtly refining and fortifying his body.

“The Astral Power is majestic!”

Mei Wuyan’s face was filled with shock. The Astral Power seemed to be endless. At this moment, he seemed to be bathing in a galaxy.

However, he was not in a hurry to absorb the Astral Power to temper his body. Instead, he looked into the depths of the galaxy.

“Is that Lord Star?”

Mei Wuyan led Nether Spirit deeper into the hall and soon saw a towering throne.

The throne loomed immensely, dwarfing Mei Wuyan, who stood nearly 10 feet tall. Yet, the figure seated upon it was almost triple that height, nearing 30 feet. The sheer size of the throne beneath them was staggering to contemplate.

Mei Wuyan stood not far away as if he was looking at a giant.

“Yes, my lord. That’s Lord Star!”

Nether Spirit’s voice sounded in Mei Wuyan’s ear before she spoke again.

“Lord Star’s body has been in the Starlight River for a long time. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he has a Starlight Body now!”

“No wonder he set up this Star Tomb!”

Nether Spirit’s eyes were filled with deep meaning, and her scarlet eyes were filled with realization.

While using Astral Power to refine one’s body could lead to the creation of a Starlight Body, it remained a process of postnatal tempering. The result differed significantly from possessing an innate Starlight Body.

Lord Star’s goal, of course, was the innate Starlight Body.

Due to his body’s waning vitality, he had immersed himself in the Starlight River. Unbeknownst to him, the influence of Astral Power gradually transformed his postnatal Starlight Body, pushing it towards an innate one.

“He transcended the postnatal constraints?!”

Mei Wuyan was further astounded upon hearing Nether Spirit’s revelation. Lord Star’s ingenuity was truly remarkable. He had utilized death to transcend the postnatal constraints and reconstruct his innate body an unparalleled feat indeed.

“That’s right. Lord Star is also only one step away from a blood sacrifice!” Nether Spirit nodded and spoke again.

“My lord, Lord Star’s body has surpassed the postnatal constraints, possessing abilities akin to those of the innate. Now, we have two options.”

Nether Spirit flew down from Mei Wuyan’s shoulder and transformed into the woman in the black dress again.

“Two options?”

“Okay.”

“Firstly, to inhabit Lord Star’s body, assuming his identity and inheriting all that is Lord Star’s.”

“Yet, taking possession of his body entails considerable risk. Despite his sacrifice to transcend the postnatal constraints through death, his body retains the potency of his soul.”

Nether Spirit nodded and pointed at Lord Star.

She didn’t believe that Lord Star hadn’t considered the possibility of his body being taken away. Although there didn’t seem to be any life in his body, she was sure that there must be soul power in his body.

Furthermore, the Astral Power could not only temper the body but also the soul.

As Nether Spirit spoke, a red light flickered in her scarlet eyes and landed on Lord Star.

“I sense the immense soul power within his body. Even with the Astral Power’s augmentation and your own soul’s capabilities, I cannot assure you of safely usurping his form.”

“Does that mean Lord Star is in a state of pseudo-death?”

Mei Changge raised his eyebrows and looked at Lord Star’s huge body again. He could feel with his naked eye that this body contained immense power.

“You could say that.”

Nether Spirit nodded slightly. “What about the second option?” Mei Wuyan asked again. “The second is simple for you.”

“Subdue him!”

“Subdue him?”

Upon hearing the Nether Spirit’s words, Mei Wuyan’s lips twitched slightly. Wasn’t it a jest to think he, whose strength had not yet reached the Immortal realm, could subdue a Celestial expert?

Although Lord Star was in a state of pseudo-death, once he recovered, he could suppress him with a flip of his hand.

“My lord, don’t forget about the Abyssal Well!”

Nether Spirit smiled and pointed at the spot between Mei Wuyan’s eyebrows. That was the mark of the Golden Sand Blessed Land.

“You mean to subdue Lord Star with the Abyssal Well? Is the Abyssal Well that powerful?”

Mei Changge frowned slightly, a puzzled expression on his face.

“Of course. Besides, don’t forget that you’ve put away the Nether River. Although the true power of the Abyssal Well hasn’t been displayed yet, it’s not a problem to subdue a Celestial expert.”

Nether Spirit smiled and pointed at Lord Star’s body.

“Furthermore, his body also brings great benefits to the Abyssal Well. As for the exact benefits, only by subduing him can we know.”

With that, Nether Spirit looked at Mei Wuyan as if waiting for his decision.

“There are benefits to subduing him?”

Mei Wuyan’s eyes were deep in thought. The golden and black light kept flickering as if he was thinking about which choice was the best.

In the blink of an eye, Mei Wuyan made a decision.

“I’ll subdue him!”

Mei Wuyan looked at Lord Star who was almost 10 feet tall with determination in his eyes.

Possessing Lord Star’s body wouldn’t do him much good, even if he was a Celestial expert.

Besides, it would be dangerous to occupy Lord Star’s body.

The choice was clear.

“Don’t fret, my lord. Once the Abyssal Well subdues his body, it will steadily refine him, albeit requiring some time..”
