After the Torch Dragon's remains shattered, they all disappeared into the darkness of Chen Luoyang's palm.
Chen Luoyang closed his eyes and pondered, carefully trying to refine it.
Rays of red light appeared on his body, flashing like the Torch Dragon's eyes.
As time passed, the red light on Chen Luoyang's body gradually faded. When he opened his eyes, there was a dim light in them.
But unlike Su Wei, who was mesmerized, Chen Luoyang's eyes were still clear.
Silence, he adjusted his breathing. As he experienced the Torch Dragon's power, he refined it and made it his own.
A "black sun" and a "shadow moon" appeared at the same time, floating above Chen Luoyang's head.
The "shadow moon" was round and changing, while the "black sun" started to shine.
In Chen Luoyang's eyes, the light of "Fuxi" kept flowing as he deduced everything he had learned.
The sun and moon above his head slowly converged.
The Demon Venerable's remains on the opposite side trembled slightly.
The dark pagoda above the remains remained silent.
The Demon Emperor's ascension to the Human Realm was silent, not causing any waves in the Mortal World.
Time passed in Silence.
A year seemed to have passed without anyone noticing.
Inside and outside the Mortal World, many people were guessing when the ninth Star Brilliance would come.
Every day seemed to be a possibility.
When the Star Brilliance exploded, it would be the day of the Mortal World's Demon Venerable Tongxi and the Young Emperor of the Lower World Realm.
The impact of this battle was destined to far exceed all the previous disturbances in the Mortal World. It might decide the fate of everyone in the Mortal World in the future.
Chen Luoyang, who should be paying attention to this matter, was the calmest. Other than cultivating in seclusion, he was high above, managing the Mortal World on behalf of the Demon Venerable.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." The green-clothed woman bowed to Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang's expression was calm. "No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Azure Dragon Island's descendant, Han Zheng, stood up.
Chen Luoyang lightly tapped the armrest of his chair. "Are you here for your sister, Han Mei?"
"Your Majesty is wise and farsighted." Han Zheng looked worried but tried not to show it. She said respectfully, "I haven't heard from my sister for many days. I'm really worried about her."
As she spoke, Han Zheng raised her head and glanced at Chen Luoyang. Then, she quickly lowered her head. "I dare not hide anything from Your Majesty. My sister has always been guided by a mysterious senior. This subordinate does not dare to speculate, but that senior …"
"You guessed correctly." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "That was my master's doing. I knew about it, but I never participated in it."
Beads of sweat appeared on Han Zheng's forehead. "I don't dare to speak ill of the Supreme Master. It is my sister's good fortune to be favored by him. It's just that … it's just that my sister has been hiding something from the Supreme Master. It's definitely not intentional. If she is punished by the Supreme Master because of this, she has only herself to blame. I only hope that the Supreme Master will show mercy and spare my sister's life."
After saying that, Han Zheng bowed to Chen Luoyang again.
Chen Luoyang's tone did not fluctuate at all. "The 'misfortune' of the God of the Netherworld is not a trivial matter."
His tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder in Han Zheng's ears. She secretly complained in her heart.
"Unintentional?" On the throne, Chen Luoyang continued. "If she really had no intention to conceal it, then she should've reported it herself and earnestly asked for my master's forgiveness. Xu Peng and Wei Feng have already appeared successively, yet she's still holding onto hope. Does she think she can conceal it?"
Han Zheng said respectfully, "My sister is terrified about what happened to her, but she still doesn't know the truth. Her external performance is not as obvious as Xu … Xu Peng and Wei Feng of the Wei family. I really can't believe that she has become an existence like the God of the Netherworld. I hope the Supreme Master will forgive her, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her."
Chen Luoyang stopped knocking on the armrest of the chair. "Well, get up. Your sister didn't lose her life."
Han Zheng heard this and immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
However, Chen Luoyang continued, "She can be spared from death, but she cannot be spared from punishment. She is currently under house arrest at my master's place. Whatever happens next will be decided by my master."
Han Zheng said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. I don't dare to have any extravagant hopes. I am deeply grateful to hear that my sister is still alive."
After watching Han Zheng leave, Chen Luoyang stayed alone in the hall and looked up at the ceiling.
It had been almost a year since Han Mei, Xu Peng, and Wei Feng entered the dark pagoda.
Through them, Chen Luoyang gradually understood the details of the dark pagoda.
He himself had reached the twenty-first level, the Omnipotent Realm, and was only one step away from the Martial God Realm. The fog in front of him seemed to have gradually dispersed, and he was only one step away from the truth.
However, the arranged battle with Young Master Tian was also coming soon.
Other people didn't know about the Star Brilliance, but Chen Luoyang himself didn't know much.
With a thought, the Half Sea Daoist's clone appeared beside him.
Chen Luoyang waved his hand. As the black fog flowed, the black coffin reappeared and was put away by the Half Sea Daoist.
The Half Sea Daoist's clone smiled and nodded, then left with the black coffin.
Chen Luoyang ordered again, "Summon the Head of the Green Bull Monastery."
The Temple Head, Yu Qingniu, was quickly summoned.
He looked at the young man on the throne and sighed.
The young man was glorious, but his safety depended on the battle with the Demon Venerable.
If the Demon Venerable lost, Chen Luoyang wouldn't have a good time either.
At least the Saha Realm wouldn't be lenient.
Whether it was the Demonic Buddha's ritual implement or killing the Ku Shu Abbot in front of the Heavenly Buddha, either reason was enough to make Chen Luoyang suffer.
Young Master Tian was not the only opponent the Demon Lord had to face …
"Send a letter to the Qingwei Realm and hand it to the Daoist." Chen Luoyang didn't seem to care about the upcoming battle. He still spoke calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Qingniu agreed first, then added, "Your Majesty, Yan Mingkong seems to have received help from an unknown source. If I'm not wrong, it should be …"
He wanted to say something but stopped. But Chen Luoyang knew he was talking about the Nether Realm.
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about her anymore," Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "Just send the letter to the Qingwei Realm."
Yu Qingniu agreed and took the letter from Chen Luoyang. Then, he left the mortal world and went to the Qingwei Realm.
The Blood Dark Sky clone appeared next to Chen Luoyang after Yu Qingniu left.
"It's time. Go and give her more pressure," Chen Luoyang said.
The tall and thin young man, who seemed to be shrouded in the blood mist, smiled and disappeared.
Chen Luoyang stood up and left Luoyang City. He went to the dark cave where the Demon Venerable's remains were.
In the dark cave, he went to see Ying Qingqing.
"It's not too late to regret," Chen Luoyang looked at her.
Ying Qingqing took a deep breath, "No need. As you said, not remembering doesn't mean it didn't happen. I have to face it eventually."
Chen Luoyang nodded, "Then get ready. It's almost time."
Ying Qingqing looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are you confident this time?"
"One of the most dangerous moments of my life," Chen Luoyang said calmly, "Some of the keys to breaking the situation are still uncertain. It's hard to say."
Ying Qingqing pursed her lips.
Chen Luoyang smiled, "I hope everything is under control. But how can everything in the world go as one wishes?"
"Yes …" Ying Qingqing lowered her head and sighed softly.
Chen Luoyang turned and left.
He came to the central hall where the Demon Venerable's remains were. He stepped inside and sat opposite to the Demon Venerable's remains.
From Chen Luoyang and the Demon Venerable's remains, wisps of black gas appeared at the same time. Then, they intertwined with each other.
Profound principles and artistic conceptions moved back and forth between the two.
The black mirror in Chen Luoyang's heart began to flicker.
In the Mortal World outside, he had already made arrangements. Each force had their own leaders to take charge.
The battles between them gradually subsided. The Mortal World fell into a rare peace, like the last calm before the storm.
Everyone held their breath and waited anxiously for the arrival of that moment.
Finally, one day, the green sky of the Mortal World suddenly darkened. The day turned into night. The change between day and night happened in an instant.
In the dark night, starlight lit up.
The starlight was extremely dazzling, giving people a feeling of an explosion.
In an instant, the dark night was illuminated by the starlight. However, it was different from the normal sky of the Mortal World.
The light was so strong that ordinary people couldn't see anything but white.
Many of the experts of the Mortal World came out to look up at the sky under the dazzling starlight.
Everyone knew that the starlight had arrived once more.
The strange starlight came and left as quickly as it came, like a meteor.
When the dazzling starlight disappeared, the Mortal World returned to the dark night.
After a while, the darkness dissipated, and everyone could see the light again.
The sky in everyone's field of vision also turned green again.
This was the final burst of starlight.
The next starlight would appear in a hundred years.
For mortals in the mortal world, they would only be able to see it once in their entire lives.
For martial artists with long lives, they might see it many times.
But for everyone else, this starlight had a very different meaning.
For those outside of the Mortal World, it was also very special.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the waters of the Desolate God Sea parted, and an enormous shadow flew out.
In the Three Mountains and Five Peaks of the Realm, a demonic wind swept out. Many of the most powerful Greater Demons appeared, clustered around the enormous shadow as they left the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In the Qingwei Realm, Yu Qingniu stood with Daoist Miao Sheng, Du Deji, and the other leaders of the Daoist Sect. An enormous taiji symbol appeared, sweeping up everyone and taking them out of the Qingwei Realm.
In the Saha Realm, golden light appeared. Lotus flowers paved a path that extended toward the Mortal World.
There seemed to be no movement in the deathly still Yellow Springs Realm, but an incomparably powerful existence had left.
In the Valley of Tang in the Xihe Realm, ten violet suns circled the Fusang God Tree. A figure rose up from the top of the tree, leaving the Xihe Realm for the Mortal World.
In the dark cave, in the central hall, Chen Luoyang opened his eyes.
Slowly, he stood up, and the figure opposite him did the same.
The black pagoda disappeared into the figure's head.
The figure stepped out of the dark cave for the first time in a thousand years.
