216: Chapter 216 Devouring the Origin Deep Within the Star Remains, Achieving Late-Stage Dao Integration

Ye Qing flew towards that giant Star Remnant as vast as a continent; the closer he got, the more he could feel that desolate aura rushing towards him, as if it came from the primordial wilderness.

The volume of this Star Remnant far exceeded his imagination. Its surface was covered in impact craters and deep fissures of various sizes, like a weather-beaten giant sleeping quietly in the Void Realm.

He landed on a relatively flat surface of the Star Remnant. The rock beneath his feet was a deep greyish-black, extremely hard, and emitted a dull sound when stepped upon.

He spread out his Divine Sense to carefully investigate the internal structure of this giant Star Remnant.

He discovered that the interior of this Star Remnant was not completely solid; instead, it contained many voids and fissures of various sizes, like a gigantic maze.

Within those voids and fissures, an extremely dense Stellar Energy permeated, even purer than what was contained within high-quality Star Blue Gold Ore.

He flew inward, following a massive fissure that led into the depths of the Star Remnant.

Inside the fissure, it was pitch black, with only faint starlight occasionally seeping from the rock walls, barely illuminating the path ahead.

He flew for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the space in front suddenly became expansive.

He arrived in a massive underground cavern.

This cavern was dozens of miles in circumference and several hundred zhang high. In the rock walls, countless tiny minerals that twinkled like diamonds with starlight were embedded, illuminating the entire cavern as brilliantly as the starry sky.

In the center of the cavern floated a spherical crystal, about a zhang in diameter, with a deep purplish-black color, as if condensed from pure starlight.

That crystal rotated slowly, emitting an indescribable, vast, and pure energy fluctuation!

That fluctuation, like a tide, spread out in waves in all directions, making the air in the entire cavern seem to become viscous!

Ye Qing stood at the edge of the cavern, looking at that purplish-black spherical crystal, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is... a Star Remnant core? And it is such a complete, such a huge Star Remnant core!"

He could feel that the energy contained within this Star Remnant core was unimaginably vast!

If he could devour and absorb it, let alone the Late Dao Integration Stage, even the Dao Integration Perfection might not be impossible!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, slowly flew to the front of that Star Remnant core, stretched out his palm, and gently pressed it onto the surface of the cold crystal.

Hum—!!!

The moment his palm touched the crystal, the Star Remnant core seemed to be activated and shuddered violently!

An even more massive energy fluctuation, like a bursting flood, surged out from the crystal, flowed along his arm, and poured into his body!

That energy was pure and overbearing, carrying a vast and cold aura belonging to the stars, as if it wanted to burst his Meridians!

He hurriedly circulated the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, guiding the star source essence that surged into his body to flow slowly through his Meridians, and then guided it into his Internal Space.

After receiving this massive and pure star source essence, his Internal Space seemed to have eaten an unprecedented feast and began to vibrate violently!

The boundaries of the space expanded outward crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The concentration of energy permeating the space soared linearly!

Even in the core area of the space, a slowly rotating Chaos-colored light cluster, like a nebula, began to condense!

Ye Qing could feel that the connection between himself and his Internal Space was rapidly strengthening at an unprecedented speed!

He could even clearly "see" that those energy light spots in the space were moving along more complex and profound trajectories, as if they were evolving some kind of ultimate truth of heaven and earth!

He was immersed in this profound realization and improvement, forgetting the passage of time.

He sat cross-legged in front of the Star Remnant core, his palm always pressed against the crystal surface, continuously absorbing the star source essence contained within it.

As time passed, his aura became stronger and deeper.

One month... two months... three months...

When the third month passed quietly, the Star Remnant core, which was about a zhang in diameter, had already shrunk by nearly half.

And the mana within Ye Qing's body had finally accumulated to a critical point.

Boom—!!!

An indescribably vast aura, like a sleeping giant beast, suddenly awakened from within him!

The Void Realm around him began to twist slightly under the impact of his aura!

Late Dao Integration Stage!

Finally, after absorbing a massive amount of star source essence, he naturally stepped into the Late Dao Integration Stage!

He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, two slowly evolving Chaos nebulae seemed to be rotating, emitting a terrifying aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying mana surging and roaring within his body, as if it could shatter stars with a single palm, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Late Dao Integration Stage... I am one big step closer to that legendary Ascension realm."

He took a look at the Star Remnant core that had shrunk by half, did not consume it completely, but carefully put it away.

The remaining star source essence in this Star Remnant core might come in handy in the future when he strikes for the Dao Integration Perfection.

He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and his whole body's bones emitted a low rumble like a Dragon's roar.

His gaze penetrated the rock wall of the Star Remnant, looking towards that more distant, seemingly endless Void Realm, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Next, it is time to go find the Opportunity to break through to Dao Integration Perfection."
