Chapter 272 - Trueblack Ancient
"Owner Bu, are you already sure about this?" Jin Rou asked this time. He wasn\'t worried of whatever will happen. After all, he would also be there and accompany him.
"Yes, Youngmaster." Owner Bu nodded, "I am already here. Might as well continue and proceed. I don\'t want to regret anymore."
"Very well." Jin Rou nodded, "Before we set out to attack Black Star, you train first. A small breakthrough will more of a great help to us."
"As you wish." Owner Bu didn\'t hesitate and said. He bowed and immediately went out to train.
Owner Bu seemed like he couldn\'t wait any longer.
"Your Highness, is this okay?" Stronghold Ancient asked with worry, "I know you are going to accompany him but his power is really not enough to compete with that constellation. He will just seek his own death there."
"That\'s why I\'ll be there, too. No matter what, I won\'t let them kill Owner Bu. I promised to help him exact revenge." Jin Rou said.
"..." Stronghold Ancient didn\'t know what to say. But he sighed.

In the Black Star Constellation.
A spacious open hall was visible. There was a throne with a man sitting on it. The man was old, however, if one would take another look at him, he was still handsome in a sense. It was like he was a handsome man during his youth.
His hair was already white and long enough to reach the floor.
Opposite of him were two persons kneeling. They were both old too. However, these two were women who have an obvious trace of beauty. They seemed like twins because of their similarities but their hair lengths were different. One has a long one while the other one has a short one.
"We greet Trueblack Ancient." The two old women said in unison.
Trueblack Ancient was the only Ancient of the Black Star Constellation. He was powerful enough that he had already slain an Ethereal in the past. The main reason why he was part of the Three Strongest Ancients.
"Enough of these formalities." Trueblack Ancient waved his hand and said with a cold voice, "What\'s the heavy reason here that you called me out from my seclusion?"
It was obvious that Trueblack Ancient was very displeased. After all, he almost felt that he could break the bottleneck. But these old women called her out. Wasn\'t that very frustrating? But since the reason was very urgent, he decided to swallow his anger and hear them out.
"..." The old women couldn\'t help but shake in terror. They knew Trueblack Ancient had a very foul temper that he would also kill an offender even if he or she was part of the constellation.
"We have seen the future." The old woman with a short white hair said.
"Oh?" Trueblack Ancient\'s interest was likely piqued and asked, "What\'s this future you have seen, then?"
"A total destruction of our constellation." The short-haired old woman said.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the kneeling old women were thrown away as the pressure hit them. They bumped into a wall and created a large crack.
"Grug!" Then, they spat a mouthful of blood because of the effect.
"You dared to spout such nonsense in front of me?" Trueblack Ancient\'s voice was colder and denser. His killing aura was leaking and spreading into all directions, "Are you toying with this Ancient?"
The two old women propped themselves up and kneeled once again, "We don\'t dare. What I have said is true, Your Anciently Being."
These two old women were called Dao Future-seekers. They were the beings who focused on breaking the universal laws to peek on their future.
Peeking in the future wasn\'t easy. In fact, it was very difficult as it needed countless trial and errors before succeeding.
And having a Dao Future-seekers in a constellation was a gift from the heavens. Yet, Trueblack Ancient was treating them like animals. Who knows if it was because he was foul tempered or their worth wasn\'t enough to enter his eyes?
"Speak." Trueblack Ancient could see and sense the seriousness of this matter and gave them a chance to explain.
"Yesterday night, we tried to break the universal laws to peek in the future and that\'s our 23741th time. Fortunately, we succeeded and had a 5-second peek in the future." The long-haired old woman explained.
"It took you over 23,000 times yet you only got a 5-second peek in the future? You Future-seekers are really, totally, useless bastards." Trueblack Ancient didn\'t hold back and rain them with insults, "And with those 5 seconds, you have seen our constellation in total destruction? What a joke."
"…" The old women were speechless to hear this. Though it was only a peek, it already pictured the destruction of their constellation! Shouldn\'t Trueblack Ancient take this seriously as this was a grave matter? The constellation was literally in danger!
Take note, what they foresaw was true.
"Your Anciently Being, this is a serious matter and we are not joking about this. Please take this seriously as our constellation is on the line." The short-haired woman spoke. It seemed she wasn\'t afraid of receiving another round of beating.
"What a joke." Trueblack Ancient laughed and said, "Black Star has stood for millions of years unshakable. Many tried but no one succeeded. Do you understand? You have foresaw this also in the past. But didn\'t we successfully killed those who seek for our destruction?"
"..." They were speechless, once again.
Trueblack Ancient\'s words did make sense. They had foresaw this type of future in the past. But they didn\'t know why they were still feeling uncomfortable even after hearing those words?
Why did they feel that it was different this time?
"So you have nothing to worry. If they want to come, let them. So that they will realize that Black Star isn\'t something they can just mess with as much as they like." Trueblack Ancient wasn\'t afraid at all, "I wonder, what type of prey will come?"
Little did they know, their fate was already sealed.
