Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 157: Realm of Chaos

Gao Xingchen struggled to get up from the ground, feeling the blood surging in his body and a sweet taste in his throat that he couldn't suppress. The tyrannical attack of the Fire Cloud Evil God almost shattered his internal organs.

"You don't know what you can do!" Fire Cloud Evil God looked down at Gao Xingchen with a cruel smile on his face. "Do you think that with your insignificant cultivation, you can stop me?"

Gao Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes as firm as before. He knew that today's battle would be dangerous. The strength of the Fire Cloud Evil God was unfathomable. Compared with him, he was like a firefly competing with the bright moon. But even if he was a moth flying into a flame, he would do his best to protect the Xingchen Peak behind him!

"Stop talking nonsense!" Gao Xingchen roared, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. Gao Xingchen's spiritual power surged, turning into dazzling golden beams that shot straight into the sky.

"A mere trifle!" The Fire Cloud Evil God snorted coldly. He did not dodge or evade, allowing the beams of light to hit him.

A shocking scene appeared. After those powerful light beams hit the Fire Cloud Evil God, they were like a drop in the ocean and did not cause any harm to him at all.

"How is this possible?" Gao Xingchen was horrified. The strength of this Fire Cloud Evil God was far beyond his imagination.

The Fire Cloud Evil God smiled proudly, his eyes full of contempt: "Boy, if you have any tricks, just use them!"

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, he knew that he could no longer hold back. He suddenly put his hands together, and pushed all his spiritual power to the extreme, and a terrifying aura burst out from his body.

"Star Transformation! Tiangang Big Dipper Formation!"

As Gao Xingchen roared, seven bright rays of light shot up into the sky from behind him and transformed into seven huge stars, suspended in the air.

These seven stars are the Big Dipper. They emit dazzling light and are mysteriously connected to each other, as if they formed a mysterious formation.

Huoyun Evil God frowned slightly as he looked at the scene in front of him. He felt that a powerful force was brewing in this formation.

"What kind of formation is this?" asked Fire Cloud Evil God in a deep voice.

"Formation that will kill you!" Gao Xingchen spat out a few words coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven stars shone brightly, and countless sharp sword energies shot out from the stars, pouring towards the Fire Cloud Evil God like a violent storm.

Huoyun Evil God's face changed slightly. He did not dare to delay and quickly waved the black sword in his hand to block the attacks of the sword energy.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

For a moment, the sound of metal colliding was endless and sparks flew everywhere.

The battle between Gao Xingchen and Huoyun Evil God entered a white-hot stage. However, even though Gao Xingchen used all his strength, he still could not shake Huoyun Evil God in the slightest. Instead, Huoyun Evil God became more and more courageous and gradually gained the upper hand.

Just when Gao Xingchen was almost in despair, a black figure suddenly fell from the sky and pounced on the Fire Cloud Evil God like lightning.

"Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen shouted in surprise.

"Woof!" Xiao Hei let out a deafening roar, opened his bloody mouth, and bit Huoyun Evil God's arm hard.

"Ah!" Huoyun Evil God cried out in pain. He never thought that in such a situation, he would be injured by a beast.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Xingchen quickly retreated and distanced himself from the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Damn it!" The Fire Cloud Evil God was furious. He slapped Xiao Hei with his palm and sent it flying.

Xiao Hei let out a painful whimper, fell to the ground, and struggled a few times, but was unable to stand up.

"Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with worry and anger.

"You beast, you're looking for death!" Fire Cloud Evil God glared at Xiao Hei with murderous intent in his eyes.

At this moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly felt a powerful force awakening in his body...

Gao Xingchen felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if a sleeping dragon had finally awakened. He knew that this was his last chance to break through his limits, and also his only hope to save Xingchen Peak and Xiao Hei.

"Star Transformation! Chaos Infinite!" Gao Xingchen roared, his hands quickly changing complex seals. The light of the seven stars was bright, and the sky and earth were surging. A terrifying suction force erupted from the center of the formation, sucking everything around it in.

The Fire Cloud Evil God originally planned to deal a fatal blow to the hateful beast, but suddenly he felt himself being pulled by an invisible force, and his body flew uncontrollably towards the center of the formation.

"What kind of evil magic is this!" Fire Cloud Evil God struggled in fear, but was unable to escape the powerful suction.

"You are digging your own grave!" Gao Xingchen said gritting his teeth, pouring all his spiritual power into the formation.

The light of the seven stars grew brighter and brighter, and finally gathered into a huge ball of light, swallowing up the Fire Cloud Evil God. Lightning and thunder flashed in the ball of light, and the space was distorted, as if it was connected to another unknown dimension.

Huoyun Evil God was trapped in the ball of light, roaring angrily, but he could not break through the constraints of space. He knew that he had hit a wall this time, this seemingly weak boy actually possessed such terrifying power.

Gao Xingchen looked at the trapped Fire Cloud Evil God and felt a little relieved. He knew that this was only temporary. With the strength of Fire Cloud Evil God, he would break through the space trap sooner or later. He had to find Nan Li and Xiao Hei as soon as possible and leave this place of trouble.

The chaos on Xingchen Peak continued, the demons and monsters brought by Fire Cloud Evil God were wreaking havoc everywhere, and the disciples of the sect were powerless to resist and could only flee. The originally solemn and majestic Xingchen Peak had now turned into a hell on earth.

Gao Xingchen anxiously shuttled through the chaotic crowd, looking for Nanli and Xiaohei. He shouted their names loudly, but got no response. He was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, fearing that they had met with an accident.

"Nanli! Where are you?"

"Xiao Hei! Come back soon!"

Gao Xingchen's voice was drowned out by the chaotic shouting and killing, and his figure gradually disappeared in the billowing smoke...

Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and Xingchen Peak seemed to have turned into a hell. Gao Xingchen's heart was beating violently, and he dodged the demons running around while shouting Nan Li's name at the top of his lungs.

"Nanli! Where are you? Answer me!"

His voice was drowned out by the deafening sounds of fighting and the shrill screams, and no one responded. Gao Xingchen became increasingly anxious, and an ominous premonition came over him. He couldn't imagine what he would become if Nan Li met with an accident.

"Damned Fire Cloud Evil God! I will tear you into pieces!" Gao Xingchen clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodshot.

At this moment, he felt something rubbing his leg gently at his feet. Gao Xingchen looked down and found Xiao Hei lying weakly on the ground, covered in blood, and dying.

"Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen's heart sank suddenly. He quickly picked up Xiao Hei and anxiously checked its injuries.

Xiao Hei's breathing was weak, his body was cold, and his originally shiny black fur had lost its luster and turned dull. Gao Xingchen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged Xiao Hei tightly, his heart filled with self-blame and guilt.

"It's all my fault! If I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have been hurt!"

Gao Xingchen slowly injected his spiritual power into Xiao Hei's body, trying to heal it, but it had little effect. Xiao Hei's injuries were too severe, and Gao Xingchen's spiritual power could not heal it at all.

"No! I must find a way to cure Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen secretly swore in his heart that he would never allow Xiao Hei to die like this.

He held Xiao Hei in his arms, stumbled out of the chaotic battlefield, and ran towards the back mountain of Xingchen Peak. He knew there was a hidden cave there, where he might be able to temporarily avoid the demons' pursuit.

Just as Gao Xingchen was about to take Xiao Hei away from Xingchen Peak, an ethereal and mysterious voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"If you want to save it, go find the 'Chaos Crystal'. It is the only hope..."

Gao Xingchen suddenly stopped and looked around, but couldn't see any figure.

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Gao Xingchen asked in a low voice, with a hint of fear and confusion in his voice.

However, that voice never appeared again, as if it had never existed. Gao Xingchen's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. What was the "Chaos Crystal"? Where was it? Why was it said to be the only hope?

Gao Xingchen held the dying Xiao Hei in his arms and looked at the foggy Xingchen Peak in front of him, feeling confused and helpless...

Gao Xingchen's heart was shocked. Chaos Crystal? The name sounded full of ancient and powerful power. But what exactly was this thing? And where could it be found?

"Who is it? Who are you? What is the Chaos Crystal?" Gao Xingchen asked loudly towards the empty forest, his voice full of anxiety and desire.

However, the only response he got was the whistling of the mountain wind and the roar of the demons in the distance. The mysterious voice disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. Gao Xingchen hugged Xiao Hei tightly, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that now was not the time to be sad and desperate, he had to cheer up, for Xiao Hei and for Nan Li who was missing.

He recalled what the voice had said just now, that the Chaos Crystal was the only hope, which meant that finding this treasure was the only way to save Xiao Hei and Nan Li. However, Xingchen Peak was so big, where could he go to find this thing he had never heard of?

Gao Xingchen suddenly thought of two elders, one was the kind-hearted Elder Li, and the other was the immortal Sun. Both of them were highly respected figures on Xingchen Peak, and perhaps they knew the whereabouts of the Chaos Crystal.

Thinking of this, Gao Xingchen no longer hesitated. He gently put Xiao Hei on the ground, bandaged its wound with his clothes, and then resolutely turned and ran towards the direction of the Star Palace. That was where Elder Li and Immortal Sun usually practiced, and it was also the only relatively safe place on Xingchen Peak.

"Elder Li! Immortal Sun! Are you there?" Gao Xingchen shouted loudly while running, hoping to get a response.

The Star Palace was on the other side of the mountain, not too far from where Gao Xingchen was. Soon, he arrived at the gate of the Star Palace. This ancient palace still maintained its former solemnity and majesty, forming a sharp contrast with the chaotic scene outside.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then slammed the door of the palace vigorously and shouted, "Elder Li! Immortal Sun! Disciple Gao Xingchen requests to see you!"

However, all he got in response was silence. Gao Xingchen suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart. Could it be that even Elder Li and Immortal Sun were missing?
