# Chapter 2392: Divine Relic

The vast starry sky spread out before the crowd's eyes, causing everyone's hearts to tremble. Above the void, figures could be seen stepping into the void one after another. Under the light of the stars, they floated like specks of light, all shaken by the relic that had appeared.

Many people were wondering—was the entire Divine Tomb actually a vast relic? Then what had appeared now—was it an ancient starry sky relic? If the accumulated battle merits had not belonged to the Starry Sky Domain but to another domain, what kind of relic would have appeared instead? Could the Divine Tomb split into nine, manifesting nine different relics?

How was this relic formed?

Divine Spirits. It seemed everything could only be explained by Divine Spirits. Only the masters of the world, the Divine Spirits capable of creating worlds, possessed such power. That was why this was called a Divine Relic.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." After the crowd's shock subsided, figures could be seen breaking through the air, charging into the relic. Since this was the work of a Divine Spirit, it meant there would definitely be opportunities. They needed opportunities.

"The accumulated battle merits of the Starry Sky Domain caused the Starry Sky Divine Spirit's relic to appear, enveloping everyone. It seems the people of the Starry Sky Domain don't have much advantage. However, those who chose to enter through the Starry Sky Divine Temple are mostly skilled in starry sky power. Perhaps they will gain greater benefits in the Starry Sky Divine Relic." Lin Feng thought to himself as his figure slowly rose into the air, strolling toward the vast, boundless starry sky.

"So magnificent, so beautiful." As Lin Feng's body gradually reached the endless void, he saw what seemed to be stars floating beside him. It felt incredibly spectacular—the stars appeared close enough to touch, yet seemed far away.

"Stars. In this world, what are stars?" Lin Feng's heart suddenly trembled. In his previous life, a star, if suitable for life, could be a world. So what were stars in this world?

He flashed toward a star—the one closest to him. He wanted to see if the stars in this relic could be reached. But he found he couldn't reach the star's side. He only saw patterns on the star's surface, with many cities and humans moving about in that world, as if it were an independent world.

The scene shifted to a child. He was cultivating in a mansion, guarded by his father and mother as they watched over his training. Day after day, it was very warm. Until one day, a floating figure suddenly appeared above the mansion. The child was hidden by his parents. When he came out, he found corpses everywhere—among them, the bodies of his father and mother. This was not a warm story, but an extremely cruel one.

"What does this star's recorded scene mean?" Lin Feng thought to himself. Then his body continued strolling through the void. Before long, he arrived before another star. There, too, was a scene. The main perspective showed a child—the son of a leader in a tribe with many demon beasts. He had great talent and was thoroughly spoiled. He left the tribe, grew strong, then returned home in glory. This story was complete, but also very brief. No one knew what would happen next.

There were many such scenes, as if every star had one. And this starry sky had stars numbering in the billions—countless. Lin Feng watched as he continued upward along the ancient starry path, higher and higher.

"Can't go any further." Just then, a voice came from the starry void. A person seemed blocked by an invisible force, unable to ascend further. He couldn't go up.

"Oh?" Lin Feng was puzzled. He rose a bit more—no problem. He could still ascend. By now, some people had already reached heights much greater than his. Some powerful figures had gone so far he could barely see them, unknown distances away.

"Friend." Just then, Lin Feng saw a person smiling as he walked toward him. Lin Feng turned his gaze, his expression cold.

"These stars are all very strange. How about we explore together?" the person said to Lin Feng with a smile.

"No interest." Lin Feng spat out a word, carrying a hint of coldness.

"Such a pity." The person seemed regretful.

"Frozen Seal!" Suddenly, a freezing power descended directly onto Lin Feng. With a cracking sound, the space was instantly frozen. A massive glacier appeared in the void. The person coldly glanced at Lin Feng. "Ungrateful wretch."

As his words fell, his body charged toward Lin Feng. His palm flipped, and instantly a mountain of ice crashed down at Lin Feng. A mountain was incredibly heavy—if it struck Lin Feng, it would be enough to kill him.

"Crack!" A clear sound rang out. The person saw Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils gleaming with cold light as he spat out one word: "Slow!"

As the word fell, it was as if the entire void was enveloped by a strange intent.

Slow. The entire space became slow. The attack crashing toward Lin Feng moved sluggishly. Lin Feng could easily dodge it. The powerful figure's body movement also slowed down, his expression extremely ugly.

"Kill!" A million Death Brands transformed into hell, instantly engulfing the opponent. The opponent's slowed speed couldn't resist Lin Feng's Hell Finger Technique. With one finger extended, it was as if the hell of death was roaring.

Lin Feng's figure flickered. His palm landed on the opponent's head, gripping it. Life force seeped into the opponent's body, keeping him alive.

"Why did you attack me? For battle merits?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

"Spare me, and I'll tell you."

"Die." Lin Feng's pupils were icy cold, filled with killing intent. The person's expression changed drastically. "Friend, cultivation is not easy. Why must you kill to the last? I did it for battle merits. Just now, I couldn't go any higher, but many others could. I think it's because my battle merits weren't enough. So I couldn't ascend. Friend, spare my life."

The person still clung to the thread of life Lin Feng had left him, unwilling to die. As he said, cultivation was not easy. Cultivating to the Saint Realm was even harder, requiring who knows how many experiences.

"Kill!" Killing intent flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He seized the opponent's battle merits, then released his hand. The person's body fell downward. It was a Saint's body, but in Lin Feng's eyes now, it was insignificant.

"To ascend higher, one needs sufficient battle merits to support it. Battle merits—even if not accumulated enough for an individual to trigger the relic's appearance—still have use. When the Divine Spirit's relic appears, they are useful." Lin Feng murmured to himself, looking up at the sky above. Now, there were no barriers between people. They were all in the starry sky. Once they found their battle merits insufficient, the slaughter would likely become even more intense.

The endless starry sky was like an ancient starry path. As Lin Feng's body ascended, he found the path gradually narrowing. Of course, this was relative. This change was obvious when looking up from below—it was a path formed by countless stars.

"Third Uncle, look over there..." Not far from Lin Feng, Ju Shen Yan pointed upward, speaking to Ju Shen Kui Shan beside him.

"I see. It looks like a pattern. A starry sky woven into a pattern. Up there, it's a head." Ju Shen Kui Shan spoke, causing Lin Feng's expression to freeze. He hadn't looked carefully before. Hearing Ju Shen Kui Shan's words, he suddenly realized that those countless stars really were woven into a pattern. Above, there was a massive head facing them, like an incomparably huge demon beast's head, comparable to the starry sky itself.

"An ox. A massive demon ox. That's a demon ox's head." Lin Feng's heart tightened. Moreover, the demon ox's head was facing them directly. Those eyes were also two massive stars. That mouth seemed to be a starry sky itself—too big, unimaginably big.

"Legend has it that the Divine Spirit who created our Giant God Clan had a mount that was an ox demon." Ju Shen Kui Shan spoke, causing the three people beside him to tremble.

"Third Uncle, are you saying that the Divine Spirit who created this Divine Relic could be our ancestor?" Ju Shen Yan's heart stirred. Had they really found their ancestor's relic?

"I didn't say that. This is just an ancient legend passed down in our Giant God Clan. Our ancestor was once an ordinary young attendant, raising a demon ox for a powerful martial cultivator, suffering much humiliation. Later, the ancestor worked hard and stepped onto the martial path, growing stronger and stronger. But he had deep feelings for his yellow ox and always brought it along to cultivate together. Later, the yellow ox cultivated into a demon spirit and could transform, but it still followed its master until they stood at the peak of the world and created our Giant God Clan. That's why our Giant God Clan's people have large bodies and immense strength, like oxen."

Ju Shen Kui Shan spoke slowly. Ju Shen Yan and the others were very surprised. "Our Giant God Clan has such a legend? I've never heard of it."

"It's been too long. Whether we are descendants of a Divine Spirit can no longer be verified, let alone this somewhat absurd legend. So, our Giant God Clan's people mention it less and less to later generations, until now it's almost never spoken of." Ju Shen Kui Shan said.

"Let's go up and see." The few of them continued ascending until they were beneath the old ox. Just then, two dazzling beams of light pierced the void, shining so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes. Ju Shen Kui Shan's heart trembled violently. Eyes—those were eyes.

"A Divine Relic. It really is a Divine Relic!" Someone shouted, their heart incredibly excited. This starry sky old ox—it was actually alive!
