Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 56 Shadow Valley

In the vast primordial universe, the nine peak forces are spread out like stars. They each occupy a part of the primordial universe, forming an intricate map of cosmic forces.

The power of the human race - Hongmeng, its sphere of influence is mainly concentrated in the central-eastern region of the universe, where there are six major forces of the human race, which together constitute the territory of the human race.

At the easternmost side of the human territory lies a mysterious realm called "Shadow Valley" by the venerables.

This is the holy land where the cosmic masters pursue power, and it is also the eternal challenge in their hearts.

In this secret realm, there is a legendary treasure called "Star Spirit Milk", which can allow the Universe Master to quickly recover his divine power and may even help him break through to a higher realm.

……

Venerable Jin Yu, a powerful man from the Duobao Pavilion of the human race, with the strength of a middle-level Venerable in the universe, is also an unlucky guy who has died once. He is now standing in front of the entrance to the Shadow Valley.

Beside him is his best friend, the Lord of Light.

Venerable Jin Yu's eyes flashed with determination, and his heart was filled with a desire for power. His goal was the Star Spirit Milk, a mysterious treasure that could allow him to break through to the level of a high-level venerable in the universe.

Shadow Valley, a place shrouded in endless fog, its entrance is like a giant mouth, swallowing all creatures that dare to enter.

“Jin Yu, you died in this “Shadow Valley” before, and you come here again this time. You were resurrected by the Pavilion Master last time, but he did not charge you for your resurrection. If you fall into this “Shadow Valley” again this time, your clan and the Pavilion Master will not resurrect you for free!” the Lord of Light warned.

Guangming had talked so much along the way that his mouth was almost dry, but Jin Yu was still determined to explore this secret place.

"Guangming, there's no need to persuade me. I have been trapped in the realm of an average venerable in the universe for too long." Venerable Jin Yu looked determined.

"I'd rather die than break through!"

Venerable Jin Yu took a deep breath and stepped into this unknown territory.

The Lord of Light followed closely.

"Oh! Forget it, I'll just accompany him for once! I still have one chance to resurrect from the Pavilion Master. This time I only brought some invaluable treasures. I might as well die!" The Lord of Light thought helplessly.

As soon as they entered the Shadow Valley, the two venerables immediately took out the domain-type treasures. Here, the perception of the Universe Venerable would also be suppressed, and they could only rely on domain-type treasures to perceive farther.

The two felt a strange energy fluctuation in the space. The space here was filled with an invigorating atmosphere, which was the unique atmosphere emitted by the Star Spirit Milk.

Venerable Jin Yu knew that as long as he found the Star Spirit Milk, he would have a chance to break through!

The scenery of Shadow Valley is unpredictable, and every step is full of unknowns.

According to the information that Hongmeng had collected about this secret realm, in a strange place like Shadow Valley, the two could only walk. If they rashly flew in it, they might be attacked at any time, which was too dangerous.

The two passed through a forest made of light and shadow. The trees here were not real, but were made of light and shadow. They swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if telling ancient secrets.

In the center of Shadow Valley, there are many mysterious bodies of water, large and small, called "Lakes of Stars".

The lake water is a deep blue, as if it can absorb all the light.

The Star Lake is the birthplace of the Star Spirit Milk. The lake water contains rich Star Spirit Milk. The Venerables only need to soak in the lake to quickly restore their divine power. If they can obtain the Star Spirit Milk, it can even assist in breakthroughs.

However, the Lake of Stars is not easily accessible. Around the lake live creatures called "Shadow Beasts", which are the guardians of Shadow Valley and possess great power and intelligence.

The skin of the shadow beasts is as dark as the night. They can move silently in the shadows of the Shadow Valley and launch deadly attacks on intruders. Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of Light walked through the Shadow Valley carefully, holding back the power of their domain treasures, and always alert to possible dangers.

Venerable Jin Yu, who had experienced a fall, knew that there were not only shadow beasts in the Shadow Valley, but also various unknown traps and crises.

As time passed, the two had explored this secret place for a thousand years, but they had only explored a small area.

I have never met other venerables from the Hongmeng.

On this day, the two were advancing cautiously, and Venerable Jin Yu discovered a mysterious garden hidden deep in the valley. The space here was filled with the rich scent of star spirit milk, and he knew that he was not far from his goal.

Although it is called a garden, its area is close to 100 billion square kilometers. Various exotic plants grow in this garden, and their flowers emit a faint light, like stars in the night sky.

In the center of the garden, there is a huge lake. In the center of the lake is a fountain made of pure white jade. The spring water is clear and exudes an alluring fragrance. Venerable Jin Yu knows that what flows in this fountain is the star spirit milk he has always dreamed of.

"Jin Yu, this Star Spirit Milk is placed in such a conspicuous place, it might be dangerous!" the Lord of Light reminded.

"No problem! Get it first!"

Venerable Jinyu and the Lord of Light flew quickly to the fountain, scooped up a handful of spring water, and felt the cool and pure power.

Venerable Jin Yu took a deep breath and drank the Star Spirit Milk. Suddenly, a powerful force surged in his body, and his divine power began to recover rapidly and even increased.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the open space beside the fountain and began to absorb the power of the star spirit milk.

Soon, their bodies were surrounded by a faint halo, which was a sign of the fusion of the power of the star spirit milk and the immortal divine power.

Venerable Jin Yu felt that his understanding of the laws of time was gradually improving, and he was only one step away from becoming a high-level venerable in the universe.

However, at this moment, a powerful breath suddenly came from the depths of the lake.

Venerable Jin Yu opened his eyes, and a huge shadow beast was reflected in his pupils. The size of this shadow beast was much larger than he had seen before, and its eyes were like two burning suns, emitting a blazing light.

The shadow beast let out a deafening roar, and it was obvious that it would not allow anyone to approach the Star Spirit Milk.

Venerable Jinyu and Lord of the Kingdom of Light stood up at the same time, emitting powerful auras as they confronted the shadow beasts.

Venerable Jin Yu was wearing golden armor with star-like light flowing on it. His eyes were firm and sharp, like an arrow that pierced through the galaxy.

The Lord of Light was wearing a white robe with a sun totem embroidered on it. His aura was warm and powerful, like the rising sun.

They stood beside the fountain, facing a huge shadow beast.

The shadow beast's skin was as dark as the night, and its eyes flashed with a dark green light, as if it could swallow all the light. Its body was huge, like a moving mountain, and every step it took would shake the earth.

“Guangming, I must get the Star Spirit Milk. This is my only chance to break through.” Venerable Jin Yu’s voice was firm and powerful.

"The aura of this shadow beast is only at the high-level Venerable level. Fight!" The Lord of the Light Country also stood beside Venerable Jin Yu.

The shadow beast seemed to understand their conversation, and a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes.
