Chapter 1306 1300: Void Wyrm, The Spirit

Say hello?

To the Void Wyrm? That ferocious thing?

Huoyan Xingshi and the others felt their hearts churn, wisps of anxiety swirled hectically in their minds. The sight of Wei Wuyin rushing into the Dark Void, soaring toward the incoming creature fearlessly, left them beside themselves with confusion, uncertainty, fear, admiration, and relief. An odd mixture of emotions for sure.

Many turned to W11 Yu; in times of uncertainty, a leader would be ordained by the masses, and these top-tier experts heeded Wei Wuyin's earlier words as they sought direction. What were they to do exactly? While Wei Wuyin had said many things, much of it was far too generalized and confusing to even the keenest of minds.

Feng Qingchu's eyes flickered strangely. "Why does it seem as if His Majesty is being deliberately mystifying? Avoiding saying anything of substance? As if he's afraid of..." As a long-time leader of her own force, Feng Qingchu was not lacking awareness, intuition, or intelligence, and she accurately struck the issue as Wu Yu's expression subtly changed.

Her thoughts and words heavily expressed the sensation that many felt.

Wu Yu stared at the ray of light growing ever-distant, with a profoundly solemn tone, he said: "Everything said in the world is known by the world. Especially to those tethered to the world."

"..." His words instilled an oppressive tension in the air. But this clue, this single sentence, allowed those who were aware of how certain Heavenly Seer's function began to instantly realize the implications. As if to verify, Huoyan Xingshi looked at the uniformed mortals, and they had eyes filled with curiosity and confusion as well. They were likely equally as ignorant of their future tasks, awaiting further orders.

Feng Qingchu's eyes sparked with enlightenment. Then, her brightly lit eyes grew increasingly gloomy and solemn. Did Wei Wuyin not gather them for this job deliberately because of the fear it might expose his plans? This so-called upcoming opportunity?

Wu Yu finally turned to the others, attracting their attention, "Everyone! Be prepared." After giving out this flat, simple order, Wu Yu slowly readied his Mystic Aura.

In the Dark Void, Wei Wuyin soared freely. While other Starlords needed Worldly Domains to sustain themselves in the chaotically inhospitable environment of Chaos Mana, as a True Void Dragon-hybrid, Wei Wuyin could freely breathe in this type of mana like Star Beasts, converting it into life-sustaining sustenance.

Wei Wuyin couldn't help but grow nostalgic as he observed the slithering light-grey-scaled Void Wyrm traversing toward the Neo-Dawn Starfield. Decades ago, Wei Wuyin had accidentally stirred this beast in its unawakened state by using Void Portals. At first, he thought the beast had been hunting him or Bai Lin for their bloodline, so he sidelined Bai Lin for the longest time due to this belief.

However, after gaining memories of another life, a life where he was forced to take upon the title of the Void Voyage Sect's Sect Master, ensuring the stability of the Sealed Regions, Wei Wuyin grew to understand what the Void Wyrm really was and how extremely lucky he had been for Liu Suyin's interference.

His silver eyes were engulfed with hardened determination grew softer, warmer, and contained a touch of joy. That strangely indifferent, almost emotionless woman had saved his life by bringing him away after the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit where he had been all but determined to attack the Void Wyrm to rid himself of a potential problem to his or Bai Lin's life.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder if Liu Suyin's actions were influenced by the Heavenly Daos or if it was truly a matter of fortunate coincidence. The timing was simply far too extraordinary. Randomly, he wondered if there was a timeline version of him who sought after the Void Wyrm, not following Liu Suyin.

Would that version of him still be alive?

In his mind, he didn't think so; despite all his extraordinary trump cards back then, at most, Wei Wuyin of that time could only awaken the creature like Evergod had.

Wei Wuyin decided in his heart that when he saw Liu Suyin again, he would do his best to ensure her happiness.

"Are you certain you want to try this?" The Heavenly War Spirit had been relatively silent recently, her F.gg Form was absorbing tremendous amounts of mental energies, likely indicating her entering the final stages of her development and subsequent birth. Due to Little Defiant's presence in his Mind's Eye, there was a constant supply of solar essence that could easily be used to replenish all of his energies.

Despite originally having been intended for a top-tier, unmatched genius of the Demi-Mortal Lord Phase, Wei Wuyin was finally capable of reaching her nurturing needs in quantity and quality of energies. Soon, she would reach her peak, and the Heavenly War Spirit would be born to the world!

The Heavenly War Spirit continued, "The Void Wyrm isn't just a physical body, but an amalgamation of various reptilian and draconic Spatial and Temporal Bloodlines. It might try to devour you, earnestly and thoroughly. Moreover, it's the Spirit Beast of a Heavenly Treasure, far from a typical beast."

"..." Wei Wuyin.

When Wei Wuyin had acquired the memories of his other self, he learned what the Void Wyrm was! The creature that lurked in the folds of space, appearing erratically throughout history, causing a horrifying number of unexplained disappearances, was the Spirit of a Heavenly Treasure, the same Heavenly Treasure that sealed the eighteen Stellar Regions-- creating the Sealed Regions!

The same treasure that housed the Endless Voyage Realm; the same treasure that was restraining cultivators from ascending properly to the Worldly Saint Phase; the same treasure that was created and employed by the three Ascended Sovereigns of the World Beyond!

The Endless Void Mirror!

"..." Wei Wuyin stared at the Void Wyrm that was now only a few hundred thousand miles away. "I don't have much of a choice. My existence is a threat to its purpose. It'll sense me wherever I go, especially now that it has awakened. Its senses are tethered to the altered World Flow generated by the Endless Void Mirror, so as long as I'm inside the Sealed Regions, I'm left with no other choice."

"..." It was now the Heavenly War Spirit's turn to be silent. She had no rebuttal because Wei Wuyin was unquestionably right! The various disappearances throughout history largely had to do with two things: Void Energy and Void Tools.

Amongst Void Tools, things such as Void Points and Void Gates were noticeably taboo creations for the Endless Void Mirror. While the world was unaware, Tian Yinwu had escaped the Sealed Regions due to a Void Tool, so it was easy to understand why objects such as this threatened the integrity and purpose of the Sealed Regions.

Wei Wuyin was a True Void Dragon-hybrid, the first of his kind, and while others couldn't sense details about him due to this, the fact his cells were infused with Draconic Void Energy was an unchangeable fact that not even the Stellar-Paragon Physique could affect.

If it was a cultivator or unawakened, he could devise ways to elude its senses, but in its current predatory state, there was no escaping those senses linked to the world's flow of information itself. Moreover, the only reason why Void Gates had grown miraculously in popularity was due to the Void Wyrm entering an unawakened state. Now that it was fully awake...

"It'll target anything and everything that has Void Energy or has been touched by Void Energy, including those who've traversed through Void Portals and Void Gates in the last thousands of years." Wei Wuyin's eyes lost their warmth, replaced by a glacial, hardened, and flaring light.

What did this mean exactly?

Everyone.

Everything.

Basking in the Baby Defiant's solar radiance...

...was its target.

Wei Wuyin halted his flight, standing in the Dark Void with the presence of an Emperor viewing all creation as his.

Baby Defiant was an amalgamation of his four Astral Souls powers. While the Star Core Tribulation was mostly actively focused on Ori and King's Tribulation, Eden and Kratos underwent and absorbed their own tribulations an equal number of times as well, perfectly balancing it for his cultivation base!

He touched Element's hilt.

"You can't kill it," the Heavenly War Spirit reminded in haste.

"I don't intend to," Wei Wuyin replied as the Void Wyrm reached just a few tens of thousands of miles away, slowly removing his hand. It could now be fully seen in all its glory, and its serpentine eyes stared intently at Wei Wuyin.

While Wei Wuyin said that, the Heavenly War Spirit's reminder was not out of nothing. The thought of slaughtering the Void Wyrm had flashed across Wei Wuyin's mind, and it was so bone-chillingly intense that she felt compelled to caution him against doing so! If that happened, the world would spiral into chaos!

"I just need to push it to consider me as an existence beyond the Earthly Saint, right? That shouldn't be too difficult." Wei Wuyin calmed down with a soft, steady breath. And then, his aura began to thunderously rumble.

The Void Wyrm's slithering movements grew slower, sending analyzing gazes to Wei Wuyin, trying to inspect his origins, threat level, and purpose as it was originally designed to. However, as it did, the traces of draconic bloodline within its body reacted fiercely as it began to burn. An unimaginable desire to consume enveloped its mind, causing its mutant heart to beat faster.

"But," Wei Wuyin looked at the Void Wyrm's eighty-thousand-kilometer-long body, and his own True Void Dragon bloodline boiled within his body, stimulating his cells, energizing his mind, and prodding his instincts, "I can at least enjoy this a little."
