The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 57 Encountering Danger

"Lord of Light, the power of this Shadow Beast should not be underestimated. We must deal with it with caution." Venerable Golden Rain's voice was deep and powerful.

The King of Light nodded, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit: "Jin Yu, although this Shadow Beast is powerful, it is not very intelligent. If the two of us join forces, we may still have a chance to fight it!"

The Shadow Beast let out a deafening roar, clearly indicating that it would not allow anyone to approach the Starry Spring.

Its massive mouth opened, and a beam of black energy shot out, pointing directly at Venerable Golden Rain and the Lord of Light.

Venerable Jin Yu swiftly dodged, his body leaving afterimages in the air. The Lord of Light extended his palm, and a dazzling light shot out from his palm, colliding with the Shadow Beast's black beam of light and producing a deafening explosion.

The battle was extremely fierce, with the powers of Venerable Golden Rain and the Lord of Light clashing in the lake, causing immense destruction.

On Venerable Jin Yu's golden armor, starlight shone brightly. He wielded the Star Sword in his hand, each strike carrying the power to tear through space, aiming for the Shadow Beast's vitals.

The Lord of Light is like the son of the sun; a field of light forms around his body, and all attacks within the field are dissolved by the power of light.

Each of his attacks was intensely hot, as if it could burn everything.

Although the Shadow Beast was powerful, it began to feel the pressure under the combined attack of the two Cosmic Venerables.

Although its skin was as hard as iron, cracks began to appear under the Golden Rain Venerable's Starry Sky Sword. Its attacks, though ferocious, were gradually weakened within the Light Lord's Domain of Light.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Venerable Golden Rain found the Shadow Beast's weakness and launched a fatal blow. The Starry Sky Sword, carrying the power to tear everything apart, pierced into the Shadow Beast's divine body.

At the same moment, the Lord of Light unleashed his strongest secret technique, Judgment of Light, whose blazing light completely engulfed the Shadow Beast's body.

The Shadow Beast let out a mournful howl, and its body gradually dissipated in the light, eventually turning into nothingness.

The Shadow Beast's divine body was instantly annihilated by the powerful attack.

Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of the Kingdom of Light stood on the shore of the Star Abyss Lake. Although their divine bodies had suffered varying degrees of damage, their eyes were filled with the joy of victory.

"We won, Golden Rain." The King of Light's voice carried a hint of weariness, but even more so, excitement.

"This shadow beast relies solely on its divine body for strength; it's not skilled in secret techniques and doesn't possess any treasures! That's why the two of us managed to defeat it by sheer luck."

Venerable Jin Yu nodded, his gaze falling on the center of the Star Abyss Lake: "Yes, Light, this secret realm is indeed full of dangers! But now, we can safely absorb the power of the Star Spirit Spring."

"The guardian beast here has been slain; there is no safer place in this secret realm!"

"Hide!"

The Radiant Lord's domain-type treasure hovered over the lake, blurring the space around it. From a distance, it seemed as if the place didn't exist.

The two sat cross-legged on the spot and began their cultivation.

Time flies!

As time passed, after 100 epochs, Venerable Jin Yu's body was gradually enveloped in a layer of golden light, and his realm began to break through, eventually reaching the realm of a high-level cosmic Venerable.

Venerable Jin Yu stood up, his divine body radiating a powerful aura, the aura unique to high-level venerables of the universe.

……

Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of the Kingdom of Light stood on the shore of the Star Abyss Lake, the lake surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting their resolute figures.

On this journey, they defeated the Shadow Beast guarding the Star Abyss Spirit Spring, obtained a considerable amount of Spirit Milk, and Venerable Golden Rain successfully completed his breakthrough.

They have exceeded expectations!

At this moment, what they need to do is leave this mysterious and dangerous secret realm and return to their human community.

"We must be careful. The terrain of Shadow Valley is constantly changing, and the path we came from may no longer exist."

Venerable Jin Yu's voice carried a hint of worry. His gaze swept around, and the mist in Shadow Valley was even thicker than when he arrived, as if it were alive and moving in the air.

The Lord of Light nodded, a wary glint in his eyes: "Indeed, countless dangers lurk within the mists of Shadow Valley. We must find a safe route."

The two began walking along the edge of the Star Abyss Lake. The blue of the lake appeared exceptionally deep in the mist, as if it could devour all light.

On both sides of the lake shore lies a dense, shadowy forest, where the tree branches sway in the air like ghostly tentacles, making a rustling sound as if they are whispering secrets.

As they ventured into the Shadow Valley, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly eerie.

Strange patterns appeared on the ground, resembling some kind of ancient runes, emitting a faint glow.

Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of Light carefully avoided the runes. In an unfamiliar place, these glowing things could very well be traps in Shadow Valley.

"Look, there's a stone bridge over there." The King of Light pointed ahead, where a bridge made of ancient stones spanned a deep canyon.

Venerable Jin Yu nodded. Within the range of the domain-type treasure he sensed, there was no other path that could be taken.

They can fly, but flying in this special secret realm is practically tantamount to suicide!

In comparison, crossing this stone bridge is more reliable.

After observing the stone bridge for a long time and confirming that it posed no danger, the two cautiously approached it.

The latest novel is first published here!

They carefully walked onto the stone bridge, the beams creaking and groaning beneath their feet as if they might collapse at any moment.

Thick fog filled the canyon, and they could only see one end of the bridge; the other end was hidden in the fog, and they didn't know where it led.

Just as they were about to reach the other side of the bridge, the terrain of Shadow Valley suddenly changed. The ground began to shake, and the stone bridge cracked as it trembled. Venerable Golden Rain and the Lord of Light Kingdom quickly leaped up, dodging the falling rocks.

They landed at the edge of the canyon and watched as the stone bridge crumbled into ruins amidst the tremors.

"The terrain here is unpredictable, we must find a new route as soon as possible." Venerable Jin Yu's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

The Lord of Light nodded, and they began walking along the edge of the canyon, searching for a possible way out. Strange plants grew on the canyon walls, emitting a faint glow that brought a glimmer of light to the dark canyon.

However, just as they were focused on finding a way out, a huge shadow suddenly appeared over their heads.

Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of the Kingdom of Light looked up and saw a huge creature flying from the other end of the canyon. Its figure covered the sky, and its length exceeded 100,000 kilometers, as if it could cover the entire sky and cast a huge shadow.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it seemed that there was no creature in this Shadow Valley that it could fear!

"Be careful!" Venerable Jin Yu quickly transmitted his voice to the Lord of Light. He and the Lord of Light quickly separated, trying to avoid the attack of this unknown creature.

However, they were still a step too slow.

The enormous creature let out a deafening roar, spewing out a dark green beam of energy from its mouth, aimed directly at Venerable Golden Rain and the Lord of Light.

Venerable Jin Yu and the Lord of the Light Kingdom only had time to assume a defensive stance before the dark green energy beam struck them.

At the same time, a huge beast claw struck, and their divine bodies disintegrated under the impact of the giant claw.

The two cosmic venerables thus perished on their return journey through Shadow Valley.

The divine token given by Li Yang, along with the two cosmic venerables, dissipated in this space.

Shadow Valley returned to its tranquility, with only the plants in the canyon still emitting a faint glow, as if telling the story that once took place here.
