Chapter 1225 1219: Lord Of Stars

Sleep—it was a rare phenomenon for cultivators at higher levels. As their cultivation rose, so did their mental and physical energy reserves. While they may rest, this would typically be in the form of quiet meditation while absorbing ambient energies and essence to recuperate. To sleep, to truly and undoubtedly sleep, a cultivator had to exhaust their physical and mental energies to their limits, needing their body to rely on a primal state of slumber to initiate a process of rapid recovery.

For the past twenty-odd years, however, he had been unable to sleep properly due to the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star project and its intense needs. Despite taking time out of his busy schedule, having daily conversations with those important to him, such as Su Mei, Wen Mingna, Xue Yifei, Xiao Bing, and others, including indulging in nose-bleed-inducing affairs with his seven beauties, he could count on his fingers the number of times he slept.

"By its edge, end everything. Understand?"

The scene of wanting a family, to escape, to belong, passionately seeking the Solar Star and the Lunar Moon for solace and peace, yet meeting in an eventful twist the family it always desired.

The true form of the True Void Dragon reemerged in all its elegant yet domineeringly beautiful form. For the first time since its birth, it was truly and fully seen.

"We?"

"I'm a virgin!"

"Haha!"

"Don't resist!" Behind those words was the willingness to sacrifice one's life for a promise. And following it, a millennium-year sacrifice after only two words.

The Neo-Dawn Defiant Star cradled Wei Wuyin's unconscious body with the gentleness of a mother's touch, and Wei Wuyin's entirety was inundated by solar essence. Normally, to lose consciousness during the Mortal Star Eradication was certain death because the emission of Solar Light was fatal. However, Wei Wuyin had devoured the Alpha and Omega Stars, refining them through potentially infinite pressure and spewing them out for the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star to absorb.f𝙧ee𝔀𝑒𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝑒Ɩ. 𝑐𝘰𝒎

Despite this rarely felt peacefulness, the process of the Mortal Star Eradication Tribulation had to come to an end. Time in the tribulation could be long or short, entirely dependent on the difficulty of the tribulation itself, but the actual time that passed outside the Samsara of Stars was much shorter.

After their deaths, their innate energies would be absorbed into the emulated Solar Star, and the Samsara of Stars would send it through the process of Star Ascension until it eventually was born into the world as a newborn star.

Typically, the cultivator simply had to wait until their manifested Solar Star burnt out and exhausted itself. Then, at the end of its lifespan, a supernova would erupt, and the cultivators would be able to absorb the intense, pure, and harmonized solar essence expelled from this phenomenon and reforge their Astral Core into a Star Core, birthing Starforce.

Moreover, he had to face two of them, and if they positioned themselves so that he was between them, he might be split apart!

It reacted instinctively, once again scanning Wei Wuyin's soul and his Spirits of Cultivation, and then using its power, it manifested the tribulations once again from the beginning!

"I think…we need to retake the Astral Tribulation," Eden replied as it analyzed the situation calmly. They both felt the call of their respective Daos. They had already completed their tribulations, absorbed the harmonized solar essence, and completed the formation of their Star Cores, so this shouldn't be possible! They had even established the basic outline of their Astral Idol!

Suddenly, Kratos and Eden's auras vanished; they went off to face their Mortal Star Eradication Tribulation a second time! At the same time, two radiant blips of light formed from afar in the blank void!

The Neo-Dawn Defiant Star's radiance was overwhelming, making the two stars quiver. Instinctively protecting its owner, a burst of solar rays was unleashed, causing both stars to explode! The Neo-Dawn Defiant Star placed Wei Wuyin's body, which was the size of an atom before these monstrosities away from them, and ruthlessly devoured both of these energies that it was deeply familiar with!

And grew!

"Yeah," Eden echoed as it similarly felt bewildered by what had happened. But as the most insightful soul, it concluded: "It seems that until he obtains his Astral Physique, and Ori and King receive their baptism, we can't escape."

"Interesting," Eden said before both of their auras vanished once again.

Shortly after, the Alpha and Omega Stars once again reformed! They barreled towards Wei Wuyin and the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star with lethal intent, yet as they arrived and faced the much larger star, they halted. Unfortunately, the gravity of the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star was too strong, and despite their intelligent response to retreat after sensing the danger, they were forcefully pulled into its massive form and assimilated violently after exploding.

"Hm…" Eden was instantly troubled. Wei Wuyin was asleep, deeply at that, and thoroughly exhausted mentally and physically. But it still tried to use its previously successful method to stimulate Wei Wuyin awake. Unfortunately, it didn't have nearly enough time to do anything of substance before the tribulation triggered again!

"..." Eden.

Eventually, Eden's radiance breached Wei Wuyin's dream as he began to awaken. But it wasn't Eden who fully reached him, but he heard a faint cry for help in his dreams, and it was through an unfathomable connection in his Mind's Eye! While still exhausted, he had recovered some of his mental energy, and that was enough.

Wei Wuyin instantly reacted, and timely too, as the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star was reaching its limit, it offered no resistance as it returned to his Mind's Eye in a boink of an eye, and the Alpha and Omega Stars exploded! Wei Wuyin's eyes widened as he was washed and blown away by their harmonized solar essence. Soon, the previously absent King and Ori could be felt as his Astral Cores began to reappear in his Dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and heart.

That said, if Kratos or Eden of them unleashed their true power, they would resemble spherical stars, with only their Star Cores having different forms from others.

They soon transformed their Astral Force into Starforce, and then all their innate energies, which had been refined by harmonized solar essence, transformed and began flooding him entirely—mind and body. He had to experience refinement for an extended period as the four Astral Souls worked together to establish his secondary physique atop the Neo-Dawn Paragon-Forging Pill's granted one—an Astral Physique!

BOOM!!!

The newly ascended Starlord was kicked out!
