Clearly capable of resolving the situation, yet not taking action.
However, what they didnât know was that even the Supremes felt helpless.
If they could, they would have made a move long ago.
Now they have to face not only other Supreme replicas but also the dreadful True Saint replicas.
Currently, most of the Supremesâ energies are focused on the True Saint replicas.
Huangtian is also among the guardians, feeling significant pressure: "Itâs grown stronger again. Could it be the True Saintâs replica after all? The speed of improvement is too fast."
The other Guardians echoed his sentiment.
"Over these three hundred millennia, weâve tried countless methods but have been unable to kill them."
"Huang Tianâs Leader, is there truly no way to contact the True Saint? If this continues, major problems will arise."
Huangtian remained silent for a moment before shaking his head.
Nowadays, the disappearance of the True Saint is no secret among the cultivator community of the Supreme level.
Feeling the increasingly powerful True Saint replicas, Huangtian hesitated.
"If it doesnât work, Iâll have to play my trump card, but if problems arise after using it... "
Thereâs indeed a way to kill the True Saint replica.
Huangtian was well aware that without leveraging the True Saintâs trump card, he could certainly eliminate the replica.
But what is the trump card?
A trump card is something that can only be leveraged during times of existential crisis.
The pressure brought by the True Saint replica is considerable, yet it hasnât reached the level of threatening the starry sky since they can still suppress it.
Of course, if it hadnât been for the loosened rules back then, allowing them to mobilize more manpower, he might have already used the trump card.
Otherwise, the Supremes of the Starry Sky could have been exterminated by the True Saint replicas, one by one.
But now, it seems the time to use it might be approaching.
Who would have thought the True Saintâs replica could enhance its cultivation under the suppression of ten Supremes?
The terrors of the True Saint were further realized.
All the Supremes of the Starry Sky felt something.
They sensed they were involved in a struggle beyond their level.
"Alas, if only we could have the cultivation speed of the True Saint replicas, we wouldnât be afraid. But..." a Supreme shook his head. Why do they feel such pressure? Isnât it precisely because the True Saint replicaâs cultivation speed is too fast, making it inevitable theyâll surpass them?
If they could match that speed, they would maintain their suppression.
In this way, the pressure would dissipate naturally.
But over the years, reality has made it clear that even if they are replicas, their cultivation speed is not comparable to theirs.
"To catch up to the True Saint replicaâs cultivation speed, unless the Starry Skyâs foundations are greatly enhanced, itâs essentially impossible."
Over a million years, apart from the original eight Supremes, a total of thirty-three Supremes have emerged, with starry sky creatures occupying twenty positions.
Twenty starry sky creatures have suppressed the fortune of the Starry Sky, elevating its cultivation environment further.
The numerous Supremes also benefited, making their cultivation smoother.
But if asked how much faster their cultivation speed had become, there truly wasnât any.
"If the True Saint were present, perhaps thereâd be a way, or else we can only earnestly cultivate more Supremes; the more Supremes, the greater our benefits."
"But the replica might not give us that chance..."
The myriad Supremes looked towards the True Saint replicas, letting out long sighs.
But just at this moment,
Beneath the depths of the starry sky, a magnificent picture slowly unfolded before all beings.
A radiant column of light descended upon the world, visible to starry sky creatures no matter where they were.
"What is this?"
"Such powerful energy, yet..." unable to articulate the feeling, they felt a sense of peace within.
Only the replicas, confined and surrounded, showed a change in their gaze, their expression inexplicable.
No matter what the starry sky creatures thought, the phenomenon would not dissipate.
As the light column gradually dissipated, a figure descended from the heavens, their stance graceful, brimming with celestial aura.
Even though their features couldnât be clearly seen, all creatures felt the greatness of his figure from within.
His arrival bathed the entire starry sky in an atmosphere both mysterious and solemn, leaving no one to speak out, simply experiencing the scene silently.
As the figure was revealed, the starry sky underwent massive changes.
The Supremes of the Thirteen Realms were the first to notice.
"The foundation of the starry sky is enhancing; I feel a significant increase in the energy density around me."
"Just by witnessing that figure, my Cultivation Technique started to operate autonomously, breaking through a small bottleneck immediately."
"He seems to embody the Dao itself."
"Itâs not only because of that figure; the starry sky itself is becoming more suitable for cultivation and continues to enhance, its fortune gathering frighteningly." Huangtianâs path is special, with a high connection to the Source Star, making him feel it most acutely.
He had a premonition, that it was his master, the Lifeless True Saint.
Throughout the starry sky, none but the True Saint could reach this level.
And this was just the beginning.
As the starry skyâs foundation enhanced, celestial dew began to descend upon the starry sky.
This dew was not ordinary rainwater, but the essence condensed from between heaven and earth.
"Is this a welcoming ceremony? Naturally so, I should not be stingy either."
The mysterious figure within the beam of light, none other than Wang Sheng, waved his hand, infusing vast celestial power into the rainwater.
The dew, already an essence, now carried faint traces of celestial aura.
The dew descended, nurturing all things, allowing all beings to enjoy the benefits; under its baptism, vegetation became even greener.
Cultivators further sensed the immense benefits contained within the dew.
"Quickly absorb, this dew is extraordinary, containing mysterious power that can increase breakthrough opportunities, even for Supremes."
Even those who were not Supremes instinctively reached out.
"This is heavenâs gift; neglecting it portends punishment, kneel and thank the heavens."
Countless beings became engrossed in the celestial dewâs feast, every cultivator exerting themselves to absorb it completely.
Dew effective even for the Supremes signals enormous benefits, no doubt.
For typical beings, itâs a divine chance.
On the other hand, compared to the starry sky creatures, there were those Supreme replicas.
All starry sky creatures benefited, enhancing themselves.
But when the Supreme replicas touched the dew, their aura gradually diminished, their presence suppressed.
"Truly deserving of the original body, though it vanished, it must have been doing something significant. Upon its return, instantly resolving issuesâwhat is honey to others is bitter poison for me!"
The Wang Sheng replica felt an influx of energy invading his flesh.
With the energyâs intrusion, his once powerful physiqueâcapable of enduring an attack from ten Supremes without decisive damageâwas gradually harmed from its origin, his prowess slightly declining.
Yet he was not surprised.
If it were the original body, achieving this wouldnât be challenging.
"Could the enduring war spanning countless years be ending?"
Due to the original bodyâs distinctiveness, he, as a replica, was equally unique.
He knew countless things others were unaware of.
He understood well what causing foundational injuries through such minor energy represented.
The changes in the replicas were noticed by Huangtian and others, but none paid attention now.
They were fully engrossed in enhancing their powers as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng watched the Starry Sky Dew, refraining from disturbing anyone.
This was an opportunity for starry sky beings, better left undisturbed.
Indeed, he hadnât anticipated that the original bodyâs return to the starry sky would bring such a transformation and induce such phenomena.
"It seems like an excuse for the starry sky to enhance foundational opportunities for starry sky beings."
After transcending to Heavenly Immortal, he could perceive more layers of truth.
The starry sky also had to abide by rules.
Rewards couldnât be dispensed without cause.
Cross-boundary wars were the starry skyâs tactics to improve its talents, cultivating Thirteen Realms and stronger beings.
But allocating such direct benefits, like dew, wasnât doable.
Yet utilizing the premise of celebrating a strong individualâs enlightenment could indeed dispense rewards.
As this was part of the fundamental rules of the starry sky.
Yet, the starry sky was extremely tactful with this.
The purpose was straightforward, to counter the Corrosive Fate Dao.
As starry sky beings grew ever stronger, they could suppress the Corrosive Fate Dao more effectively.
The starry sky wouldnât miss such an opportunity.
This also explains why he infused celestial aura into the dew.
His purpose aligned with that of the starry sky.
Thinking about the Corrosive Fate Dao...
"Heh, next, itâs time to resolve the Corrosive Fate Dao..."
