Chapter 2022 - 86: Breaking Through to Upper Transcendent (2)

There is no use worrying anymore; since the decision has been made, Ni Yang can only hope that Zhang Xiaoman finishes things quickly.

It seemed as if without the interference of the black aura, the final bottleneck of the sixth star pattern on Huan Cai’s side was broken at this moment. On Zhang Xiaoman’s arm, the Eye of the Starry Sky pattern finally lit up with the last hue, which belonged solely to the sixth star pattern, distinct from the previous five.

In an instant, a platinum glow burst forth, filling the entire space. The preceding five star patterns were also covered by this platinum light. Ni Yang and Huan Cai couldn’t open their eyes, but even with their eyes tightly shut, Zhang Xiaoman’s Eye of the Starry Sky imprinted itself in their sea of consciousness.

At this moment, it seemed like the whole world had nothing else but this platinum emblem. The people present couldn’t see any other scenes, and even the Demon Princess was greatly affected, forced to cast a mental blocking spell on herself.

It’s not just in the Chaotic Void; now, the entire merging universe was affected. The imprint of the Eye of the Starry Sky appeared in the minds of all beings, even on inanimate objects. Though they lacked consciousness, they witnessed this moment in their own way.

On countless planets, the earth cracked layer upon layer, the ground split naturally forming a giant Eye of the Starry Sky pattern.

In the vast galaxy, stars shifted their positions; countless stars quietly altered their trajectories, sketching the same pattern in space.

In water, mountains, fields, and every area within the universe, the same imprint was stamped at this moment — Zhang Xiaoman’s sixth-level star pattern, representing the Night of Stars for the Star Alliance.

"Teacher, is that you?"

On the Sky Dome Top of the World Tree in the Karon Star System, Su Changqing looked up at the starry sky, murmuring to herself.

"Has the Star Lord taken that step?"

On Water Blue Star, by the Jade Lotus Pond of the Dragon Sleep Mountain Range, the white-haired, youthful Ye Cang opened his eyes from meditation. In his sight, the Dragon Sleep Mountain Range undulated beneath him, the forest in the middle of the mountain range rising and falling, unknowingly having transformed into a massive Eye of the Starry Sky pattern.

"Is this... the power of that person?"

On the edge of Erin Star’s defensive line, inside the command flagship of the Lan Family, Lan Yue looked at the Demon Clan trembling in awe at the star pattern ahead, a storm surging in her heart.

"This kid, truly worthy of being my grandson, indeed inherited my gift and charm."

On Divine Ancient Continent, inside the renowned inn, Immortal Fate Square in Han Yue City, Master Liu and Yan Jiantong sat opposite each other, with two extraordinary spiritual beasts, Big Black and Little White, at their feet. In front of them were numerous delicacies and his favorite salted old goose. The guests were drawn to the street by the celestial anomaly, while they sat on the second-floor balcony watching everything.

"Xiao Man, this child has made such a disruption again. It’s about time to bring him back for a visit. Nearly a hundred years old, and still without a child, what’s that supposed to be?"

Inside the main trunk of the World Tree within the Karon Star System, in the chairman’s office of the largest interstellar group, Light Blue Starry Sky’s head office, Pei Lingsu looked at the photo of her son in her hand, a loving smile on her face.

"Brother Xiao Man..."

Inside the Star Alliance’s Zero Secret Training, Lin Sisi set down the Dark Spirit Technique research report in her hand, looking up through countless barriers to gaze into the depths of the void. Besides the Eye of the Starry Sky pattern lingering in her mind, there’s another figure she is deeply attached to.

"How is it possible? Has an Upper Transcendent level really been born in this world again... the Star Alliance..."

In other corners of the universe, countless strong beings at this moment focused their attention on that organization, which had been rapidly growing over the past few decades.

Today, the Star Alliance became the focal point of the entire merging universe, affecting everything in both the First Universe and the Second Universe, celebrated by the world for his arrival.

Ji Xing!

At this moment, the universe gained a new Dominator, his imprint etched into everyone’s mind!

"Kid, you did it, well done!"

Ni Yang immediately rushed over, circling Zhang Xiaoman many times, squeezing the star pattern on his right arm, feeling the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations emitting from within, his eyes full of amazement.

Recalling when this kid first met him, he was just a mortal. Who would have imagined that in less than a hundred years, he would transform from that mortal into someone even Ni Yang had to look up to?

Of course, this century refers to current world time, and how long Zhang Xiaoman himself spent while imprinting the sixth star pattern is now hard to say.

"Ni Yang..."

Two words slowly slipped from his mouth. The dazed look in Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes regained focus, with memories of countless years flooding his mind, making him still for a moment.

Fifty thousand years, spent in a seam of time for fifty thousand years, and it was after countless failures that Huancai finally imprinted his sixth star pattern, allowing Zhang Xiaoman to burst through to the Upper Transcendent level.

Fortunately, he had long comprehended the Immortal and Immortal Series, with a body and spirit eternally undying, even fifty thousand years had little impact on him.

Clenching his right hand into a fist, with the Supreme Sequence continuously shifting in his palm, Zhang Xiaoman felt the law power contained within, but his heart lacked the excitement he once imagined, only revealing a faint smile on his face.

This reflects a change in mindset, a transcendental mentality honed over fifty thousand years.

Fortunately, his own strength was not low, having reached Middle-level Transcendent when imprinting. With the augmentation from Immortal Power, although his mentality changed slightly, his true self remained unchanged. He was still himself, still Zhang Xiaoman with a thirst for curiosity, still Lin Sisi’s lover, still Ni Yang’s disciple and friend, still Pei Lingsu and Master Liu’s relative, and still the leader of the Star Alliance.

"By the way, Huancai."

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly looked over, seeing Huancai completely exhausted and lying there, not wanting to move.

Zhang Xiaoman quickly transferred spiritual power to recover her, expressing gratitude:

"Huan Cai, from now on, you are the best friend of the Star Alliance. Rest assured, this time I will not let the demon tide affect you or your Divine Domain in the slightest."

Huancai just lay there, humming, unwilling to move.

After healing her injuries, Zhang Xiaoman promptly came to the Demon Princess, bowing deeply as a disciple in salute.

"Thanks to the senior’s grace, this junior has reached this state, an unrepayable favor. Any command, I will fulfill with all my might."

The Demon Princess appeared very weak at this moment; the extended period in the time seam had worn even her down. Coupled with just sealing the Forbidden Power within her body, she was in her most vulnerable period now.

"No worries, helping you wasn’t without motives, I too have personal reasons."

"Please instruct me, senior."

Zhang Xiaoman said sincerely.

For the sacrifices the Demon Princess made for him, all were seen and remembered; repaying kindness is a basic line of being human, he couldn’t possibly be ungrateful.

Just then, the space began to tremble violently again. The words the Demon Princess wanted to say were interrupted. Zhang Xiaoman and she both focused their gaze on the gray mist of the Chaotic Void, Zhang Xiaoman now able to look directly at this region.

"They’re back."

The Demon Princess looked calm, as if she had expected this.
