Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Stepping on the Seven Stars, Shattering Myths

With an overwhelming presence, Ancient Shentong continued to augment his power as the Eye of the Heavens was still brewing. His body expanded to an awe-inspiring enormity. The faint halo around him dissipated, revealing a being of immense strength, the most formidable under the heavens.

Ancient Shentong, still donning his flat crown and clad in a robe adorned with nine dragons and swirling clouds, glared angrily at the sky. Suddenly, Zhong Shan noticed a brilliant surge of starlight emanating from beneath Ancient Shentong\'s right foot, which spanned tens of thousands of feet.

Yes, it was starlight, the same light one could see every night from the stars. The starlight burst forth from Ancient Shentong\'s right foot.

At the same time, on Tianlang Island in the Great Zhen Dynasty, Ying Chu stood on the roof of the Longevity Hall, overlooking the surroundings. The sky was filled with endless red clouds, and from the north, a dazzling starlight suddenly shone brightly, though it flickered as if something was wrong.

"Let\'s go!" Ying Chu Zhong Shan said only one word before his figure dashed towards the starlight.

Ying Chu\'s speed was extraordinary. Transforming into a shadow, he shot out like a beam of light. He had just summoned some wolf generals in Xuanyang, but even those Emperor\'s Peak experts were far too slow compared to Ying Chu. His speed was simply too fast.

Kaiyang Sect? Was it the Kaiyang Sect?

Zhong Shan headed straight for the source of the starlight at Kaiyang Sect. In no time, he arrived outside the mountain gate.

"What\'s happening? Why is it like this?"

"This is bad, the star position is unstable. How could the star position be unstable?"

"It\'s connected to the Earth Veins. There shouldn\'t be any signs of instability. How can the Great Big Dipper Formation be set up like this? The Grand Saint Lord\'s attempt to step on the Seven Stars will fail!"

Inside the Kaiyang Sect, a cacophony of panic-stricken voices filled the air. Why was this happening now?

"Guard of the Mountain, what\'s going on?" Zhong Shan shouted as he arrived.

"I\'m not sure. It seems Tianlang Island is constantly shaking. If we can\'t stabilize it, the Great Big Dipper Formation will fail," the guard replied anxiously.

"Shaking? What shaking?" Zhong Shan asked, confused.

"This formation requires extreme precision. Even the slightest tremor can\'t be tolerated. The Sect Leader is presiding over the Kaiyang position. Such shaking will ruin the Great Big Dipper Formation," the guard said, panicked.

"As long as it\'s completely stable, it will be fine?" Zhong Shan asked quickly.

"Yes, it must be stable, but how can we stabilize it?" the guard cried in despair.

"I\'ll handle it. Step aside!" Zhong Shan ordered.

There was no time for more words. Zhong Shan quickly retrieved his Fang Tian Imperial Seal.

Upon seeing Zhong Shan\'s seal, the guard\'s eyes lit up.

"Yes, suppression. Using the imperial seal is the most effective way to stabilize it. But, your seal is just an imperial one. How can it be enough?" The guard\'s initial excitement quickly turned into despair.

Zhong Shan paid no heed to the guard\'s lamentations. He tossed the Fang Tian Imperial Seal into the air. Though it couldn\'t match the power of the Ancient Shentong\'s Heavenly Imperial Seal, it could still transform into a massive seal spanning a hundred feet. Moreover, being in the Great Zhen Dynasty, the imperial seal could draw upon the dynasty\'s fortunes to enhance its suppressive power.

"Suppress~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Zhong Shan shouted with a thunderous voice. The enormous Fang Tian Imperial Seal plummeted from the sky.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The hundred-foot-wide seal crashed onto the ground with a tremendous impact. Instantly, a stream of seven-colored light flowed over the seal, with the red pearl at its center emitting thirteen different hues.

"Buzz!"

With just a slight tremor, everything stabilized.

"It\'s stable! It\'s stable!" Cries of astonishment echoed from within the Kaiyang Sect. The entire sect erupted in joy and relief—the Great Big Dipper Formation could continue.

A brilliant beam of starlight burst forth from the Kaiyang Sect, shooting up into the sky, piercing through the dense red clouds, and extending into the infinite distance.

Cheering, the Kaiyang Sect was filled with unprecedented excitement. Stability was restored, and the Great Big Dipper Formation was back on track. Inside the sect, starlight exploded, forming a pillar that soared into the sky, penetrating the red clouds and reaching even further into the boundless heavens.

Amid the jubilation, the guard stared at Zhong Shan in astonishment. Had it worked? Had the suppression succeeded? It seemed impossible. But now wasn\'t the time for questions.

"Guard the Sect Leader!" A unified shout echoed from within the Kaiyang Sect.

At this moment, numerous wolf generals arrived, following Zhong Shan.

"Protect the surroundings, and do not let anyone disturb us," Zhong Shan ordered.

"Yes!" The wolf generals immediately responded.

Zhong Shan followed the sect guard into the Kaiyang Sect. At the Kaiyang Hall, he saw the source of the starlight.

Xuan Xinzi, the Sect Leader of the Kaiyang Sect, was holding a ladle-like object.

The Kaiyang Wuqiu Ladle, the symbol of the Kaiyang Sect\'s leadership, was the very tool the former master Tian Xingzi had used to arrange the Great Big Dipper Formation to exterminate evil spirits, sacrificing everything, even his life.

It was the Kaiyang Wuqiu Ladle.

From it, an infinite stream of starlight shot into the sky, seemingly connecting with the Kaiyang Star. Simultaneously, across the Shenzhou land, six other beams of starlight pierced the red clouds, reaching into the infinite cosmos.

Seven pillars of starlight illuminated the entire Shenzhou land, breaking through the red clouds and extending further into the cosmos.

In the ancient holy capital, Zhong Shan\'s true form watched the colossal Ancient Shentong and the starlight beneath his right foot.

"What is this?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Stepping on the Seven Stars, the seven major sects of the Seven Stars Hall align to form the Great Big Dipper Formation, drawing the power of the Big Dipper Stars. Using the stellar force, they set up the Grand Luo Zhoutian Star Formation to combat the Eye of the Heavens," Di Xuansha explained.

Hearing Di Xuansha\'s words, Zhong Shan\'s eyebrows furrowed.

"Stellar force? Borrowing stellar force? How can they borrow stellar force to fight against the heavens\' wrath?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.

Di Xuansha gave Zhong Shan a slight look, then shook his head with a sigh.

"It seems you still don\'t understand our world," Di Xuansha sighed.

"What? I understand the Minor Thousand World. What\'s the matter?" Zhong Shan replied curiously.

"Yes, it\'s the Minor Thousand World. But the Minor Thousand World doesn\'t have stars, sun, and moon," Di Xuansha said.

"How can that be?" Zhong Shan couldn\'t believe it.

"It\'s true. The sun, moon, and stars only exist in the Great Thousand World. Due to the unique structure of these worlds, the starry sky we see is actually part of the Great Thousand World. Not just us, but all three thousand Minor Thousand Worlds see the same sun, moon, and stars, all originating from the Great Thousand World," explained Di Xuansha.

Zhong Shan\'s mouth hung open in astonishment. He was ready to dismiss this as nonsense, but suddenly he recalled his younger days on Earth. The stars, the Big Dipper, could be seen there just as they could be seen here. Could it be true that they all came from the Great Thousand World? That only the Great Thousand World had the sun, moon, and stars?

"Then what about meteorites? How do you explain those?" Zhong Shan asked again.

"They come from the Great Thousand World. Meteorites are fragments from the Great Thousand World, much like \'Houtu\'," explained Ancient Shentong.

"Hmm." Zhong Shan slowly accepted this fact.

He looked again at Ancient Shentong.

Indeed, as Di Xuansha had said, Ancient Shentong stood with one foot on the seven stars, along with the seven major sects, piercing the red clouds and connecting to the seven stars of the Great Thousand World. Using these stars as a medium, they linked to the celestial stars, drawing their power to set up the formation.

"Grand Luo Zhoutian Stellar Formation!" Ancient Shentong shouted.

With Ancient Shentong\'s command, infinite starlight pierced through the red clouds, making them churn violently.

In the ancient holy capital, the Eye of the Heavens had finally finished brewing. The red mist around it dispersed, revealing strange tadpole-like symbols rapidly swirling within the eye, appearing incredibly ominous.

As the tadpole symbols twirled, a powerful pressure descended, pressing the entire ancient holy capital a thousand meters deeper into the ground.

A thousand meters was nothing before the immense body of Ancient Shentong.

At this moment, the Eye of the Heavens noticed something wrong. Within the red clouds encasing it, countless green threads emerged, tightly binding it.

"Success! Ancient Shentong has successfully restrained the Eye of the Heavens. The Grand Luo Zhoutian Stellar Formation can bind anything in the world. Who would have thought it could even restrain the Eye of the Heavens?" Di Xuansha marveled.

In the sky, the Eye of the Heavens sensed an overwhelming threat. A look of fear emerged from within the eye, directed at the now immense Ancient Shentong below. How had he suddenly grown so large?

In its terror, all the red light from the Eye of the Heavens surged towards Ancient Shentong. Simultaneously, the eye, filled with tadpole symbols, unleashed numerous black rays of light towards him.

This time, Ancient Shentong did not sit and wait for the attack. Instead, he took the initiative. With a step, he soared into the sky.

In an instant, he pierced through the numerous red and black rays. The red rays struck Ancient Shentong, but they had no effect, as if they were mere beams of ordinary light. Previously, a single red ray was enough to make him struggle, but now, with so many? Had he really become this powerful?

Too strong! Ignoring the attacks of the Eye of the Heavens completely, he instantly appeared before it.

With his giant axe in hand, Ancient Shentong swung it fiercely at the Eye of the Heavens. A golden light flashed, blinding everyone for a moment.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a thunderous roar, Ancient Shentong remained suspended in the sky, his eyes filled with killing intent. The Eye of the Heavens stopped emitting rays of light.

The Eye of the Heavens ceased its movement. A crack appeared in the center of the giant eye, stretching from one side to the other. Ancient Shentong had done it; he had split the Eye of the Heavens with a single strike.

The myth of heaven and earth was shattered!
