Chapter 2840: You Know Nothing of Power!
At this moment, the eyes of Zhong Yingxue, Yang Jian, Yakeli, and the others burst forth with dazzling brilliance!
He's back!
Xiao Nan has returned!
He's not dead!
Did he finally reach Star Devourer?
And what's with this glazed body?
Isn't it freaking awesome?
Right now, no matter how you looked at Jiangnan, he didn't seem human at all?
Xun Zu's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is impossible! You exist within my world, and my word is law!"
"I have used the Sword of Rules to completely erase your existence from being. You cannot possibly still be alive!"
In his own world, how could there be something that even the Sword of Rules could not erase?
Jiangnan squinted, his gaze cold and sharp.
"You know nothing of eternal power!"
"No matter what realm I find myself in, the moment I ascend to it, I will inevitably be the strongest in that realm!"
"I was like this at the Transcendent rank! And I am... the same at Star Devourer!"
No one knew just how terrifying Jiangnan would become after completing the Star Devourer-level life transformation—having stubbornly cultivated the Transcendent realm all the way to the eighteenth stage.
After all, even when Jiangnan was at Transcendent, he could rely on his immense foundation to go head-to-head with Star Devourers.
At the very last moment, Qingche had given Jiangnan the Seed of Life's Miracle, dissolving Teng Wu and fusing completely with Jiangnan.
This had also allowed Jiangnan's life form to evolve to the very pinnacle that Starry Sky life could achieve—the Ultimate Form.
And at the instant he was cut by the Sword of Rules, Jiangnan had also broken through the bottleneck, triggering the life transformation of the Star Devourer rank.
This caused his life form, which had already reached its peak due to the evolution from the Seed of Miracle, to undergo another transformation—surpassing its limits.
He completely fused with the Eternal Heart.
At this moment, Jiangnan's life level had reached a height that no Starry Sky life had ever achieved before.
One could say it was unprecedented.
And Jiangnan, now at the Star Devourer rank, could finally fully activate the Eternal Heart and use its abilities...
This Eternal Glazed Body was one of the effects produced by activating the Eternal Heart.
Jiangnan could even freely transform the shape of his body.
As long as his will remained indestructible, this body would not perish, and this self would be eternal.
Even time would leave no trace on Jiangnan's body. As for lifespan limits... those had no meaning for Jiangnan, whose life level had evolved to such an extent.
Strictly speaking, Jiangnan could no longer be considered human.
Because after becoming a Star Devourer, his life level had transcended humanity, even transcending carbon-based life.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Jiangnan stood within the Eternal World, his aura rising like a raging storm.
His body even ignited with glazed flames.
His power surged so violently that it affected even the Eternal World itself.
The space within the world was tainted by Jiangnan's formidable aura, bowing and submitting to him.
It was as if it were welcoming the birth of the Space Sovereign, guarding him like stars around the moon.
At this moment, Jiangnan compelled everyone to fix their gazes upon him.
As if he were the master of this space, the center of the world.
But this was clearly Xun Zu's world!
Everyone was stunned, their scalps tingling.
Are you kidding me?
You call this just breaking through to Star Devourer?
Why does Jiangnan, the moment he reaches Star Devourer, give off the vibe of being the number one under the Cosmos?
This aura was too terrifying—so terrifying that it made people lose any will to resist.
Earlier, they had been afraid of Jiangnan breaking through to Star Devourer, because they didn't know how terrifying he would become or how hard he would be to deal with.
But now that Jiangnan had broken through, they were actually looking forward to it.
For no other reason than that, under Xun Zu's pressure, everyone was now on the same side, after all, no matter how you looked at it.
Xun Zu's eyes widened. "I don't give a damn about your 'eternal'! Do you even deserve to call yourself eternal?"
"You're nothing but a rookie Star Devourer, putting on more airs than me? Anyone who didn't know might think you were invincible in the Starry Sky!"
"So what if you're a Star Devourer? You're still going to die—just adding a bit more fun for me!"
"This world is my blade—CUT!"
Xun Zu roared, slashing down mercilessly at Jiangnan's location.
Jiangnan faced Xun Zu's slash directly, his gaze cold and sharp.
"Sorry! I don't have the leisure to play slow games with you. There's no need for 'countering blades with blades' or any of that nonsense."
"Now that I've reached Star Devourer, I have no more shackles!"
"Experience my full power, then!"
At this moment, Jiangnan decided he would no longer hold back.
He had been afraid of returning to the wrong reality and needing the Path of Knowing Life to find the way; afraid of being worn down by the Energy Sea and needing the Soul Locking Art; afraid of losing lifespan and having the Eternal Heart; afraid of his body not being preserved and having the Eternal Glazed Body.
All the problems that had stood in Jiangnan's way had been solved one by one.
The Life Forbidden Zone was no longer an untouchable forbidden land for Jiangnan.
From this moment on, Jiangnan truly grasped his very first domain.
"Black Hole Devouring Star!"
The cold words echoed through the Eternal World.
The instant the words fell,
Two super-massive Starry Sky Eyes suddenly appeared, suspended in the sky beyond the wall of the Eternal World.
The scale of the Starry Sky Eyes was unprecedented.
It seemed they couldn't see clearly through the wall, so both of them came.
And the two Watchers also appeared, one on each side, holding the Starry Sky Chronicle.
Their gazes converged on Jiangnan.
Such large Starry Sky Eyes—each one alone was larger than the diameter of the Eternal World.
And both came at once.
It really startled Wanxiang and the Primordial Machine.
What's going on?
Why are these two big-eyed guys only showing up now?
When Xun Zu broke through to Cosmos, you didn't come; when Wanxiang awakened, you didn't come; when the Primordial Machine was unsealed, you didn't come.
But when Jiangnan breaks through to Star Devourer, you two come running to watch the show?
What, we're not worthy?
At this moment, in the space within the Eternal World, everything around Jiangnan began to flow toward him at superluminal speeds.
It was extreme control, plundering, devouring.
In the blink of an eye, Jiangnan's figure disappeared, replaced by an enormous, super-massive black hole.
As soon as it appeared, its massive volume was hundreds, thousands of times larger than the super-massive black hole at the center of a large galaxy.
And it was still growing at an astonishing rate.
If the Black Hole Devouring Star he had used before was a sesame seed, then this one was the vast, endless sea.
Xun Zu laughed wildly. "Black hole? This is the means you're talking about?"
"Black holes are indeed powerful! But don't forget—I am this Eternal World itself! No matter how strong a black hole is, it is still based on the world, contained and borne by the world!"
"You cannot surpass me! I will erase you right now!"
The Sword of Rules in his hand intensified by threefold, slashing fiercely toward the black hole's location.
Xun Zu was not wrong.
If he couldn't even erase a black hole, then what kind of Cosmos was he?
...
Fifth Dimension, Life Forbidden Zone.
Here, beyond time, space, and everything else, it was a forbidden land that life could not touch—an absolute restricted zone.
In the Sea of Energy, silver-black energy surged and rippled, occasionally triggering violent spatial inflation.
The sky above the Sea of Energy was calm, but now that calm was broken by the arrival of a certain will.
Jiangnan's will abruptly appeared above the Sea of Energy.
The eternal, indestructible heartbeat echoed.
The Eternal Heart materialized, followed by Jiangnan's Eternal Glazed Body taking form. Though somewhat illusory, it existed truly.
Jiangnan looked down, somewhat incredulously at his own glazed, translucent hands.
"How did my body come along too?"
If Jiang Fan had seen this, even he would have been shocked.
Normally, the Life Forbidden Zone only allowed the existence of conscious forms, and that consciousness would be worn down by the Sea of Energy.
But Jiangnan existed in this Life Forbidden Zone in this physical form.
It wasn't just consciousness alone.
Under normal circumstances, this was absolutely impossible.
But the key lay in the Eternal Heart and the Seed of Life's Miracle, combined with the life transformation of the Star Devourer rank.
Jiangnan's life level had evolved to a height that no Starry Sky life had ever reached.
In this mysterious state, he entered the Life Forbidden Zone directly.
Jiangnan had been maintaining the Soul Locking Art, and he did not feel any wear on his will from the Sea of Energy at all.
Moreover, his body served as a shield.
So far, everything was going smoothly. He observed the surroundings—nothing different from his last visit; it was still a void.
And then, familiar specks of light appeared, spinning and flying, transforming into countless books and pages, surrounding Jiangnan and covering the entire Life Forbidden Zone.
Countless possibilities of the past, present, and future all existed here simultaneously.
Jiangnan still remembered what Jiang Fan had said.
Looking at the pages would not cause wear, but once a future was seen, it would be determined, so one should not look casually...
Jiangnan knew very well that all the secrets, countless mysteries, and even the truth of the world were buried in this Life Forbidden Zone.
But now was not the time to explore these. He had to deal with Xun Zu first.
Jiangnan immediately activated the Path of Knowing Life.
Sure enough, countless threads of causality all pointed to a single page—the one that belonged to his present.
Within that page, time was frozen.
A massive black hole stood still there, while Xun Zu held his sword, slashing at it.
The sword edge had already cut into the event horizon and was about to enter the black hole.
Jiangnan could confirm that he was there.
So, without any hesitation, his body rushed toward that page.
As for the Life Forbidden Zone, he could explore it later.
...
In the Eternal World, Xun Zu's Sword of Rules slashed violently toward Jiangnan's Black Hole Devouring Star.
"Perish!"
But at that critical moment, a peculiar wave suddenly emanated from within the Black Hole Devouring Star.
From the endless darkness at the black hole's center, two glazed pupils suddenly lit up.
Under everyone's disbelieving gazes,
That super-massive black hole began to twist and deform, no longer maintaining its perfect circle...
pS: Happy New Year, everyone! Jiangnan just happened to break through to Star Devourer on New Year's—I'm the best, hehe~
