19: Chapter 19 The Nine Sounds of the Great Dao

Myriad Tribulations Star Dome Dragon Elephant Scripture!

Just hearing the name, Ning Yuan could feel the endless dominance and profound mystery contained within!

Impressive!

His heart was filled with pleasant surprise.

He hadn't expected the effect of this Deduction Card to be even more powerful than he had imagined!

It wasn't a simple one-plus-one fusion of two techniques; instead, it took the essence and discarded the dross, innovating on the foundation of the fusion to cause a qualitative transformation, reaching a brand-new height that was on an entirely different level!

As for the effects of the new technique, they were incredibly fierce!

Its theoretical upper limit had actually reached a staggering one hundred million catties of colossal strength!

This was five times the limit of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heaven Art!

It was more than ten times the current record in the starry sky!

It was a full hundred times the limit of an ordinary high-level warrior!

One hundred million!

This number made Ning Yuan's breath hitch.

Even though he came from an extraordinary background and was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures and heaven-defying techniques, he was still deeply shocked by this number at this moment.

Too ruthless!

This was no longer simple strength; it completely broke the rules and subverted all understanding!

He was just about to immediately try circulating this brand-new supreme divine art to feel its power.

Suddenly!

Rumble—!

A grand Dao sound, seemingly originating from the beginning of the universe's creation, exploded in the void without warning!

That sound was vast, majestic, and ancient, as if it had traveled through endless time and space to echo directly in the depths of every living being's soul!

Immediately following!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Nine times in a row!

Nine sounds of the Great Dao rang out one after another, layering over each other and echoing endlessly!

At this moment, it wasn't just the tiny Ancestral Star.

The entire human territory.

Even every corner of the boundless sea of stars could clearly hear these nine booms that sounded like heavenly decrees!

Countless living beings, no matter where they were or what they were doing, stopped their actions in unison and looked up at the endless sky in horror.

Those with low cultivation felt only panic and awe from the depths of their souls under this Dao sound, and couldn't help but want to prostrate themselves in worship.

As for the powerful cultivators, without exception, their faces showed unprecedented shock and solemnity!

...

Golden God Mountain.

This divine mountain, which was much larger than a star domain, stretched on endlessly and was the ancestral land of the Golden God Clan, ranked second among the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky.

At the highest peak, a towering golden giant whose size far exceeded a star slowly emerged, his eyes, which were as bright as suns, gazing into the depths of the unknown void.

"Nine Resonances of the Great Dao... why is this?"

The giant murmured to himself, his voice filled with gravity.

Behind him, several figures with equally terrifying auras were prostrating themselves respectfully.

"Where does this Dao sound originate from?" A trace of inexplicable panic actually rose in his heart.

Behind him, a clansman guessed cautiously, "Ancestor, do you think... could this be related to the humans? Not long ago, in their Xuanhuang Star Domain, a shocking phenomenon of starlight piercing the heavens just occurred..."

The golden giant's gaze became increasingly profound.

"The humans... there are great secrets hidden within that race! We must investigate thoroughly!"

"In just ten thousand years, they rose from an obscure, weak race to the fourth throne among the ten thousand races! To us, they are a huge threat! But conversely, if we can obtain their secrets, my Golden God Clan will surely unify the sea of stars!"

His voice was filled with fanaticism.

Someone else behind him spoke up, "Ancestor, I heard that the humans' Ancestral Star has had quite a bit of movement recently, perhaps..."

The giant sneered and interrupted him.

"Humans have always been cunning; that might just be a smokescreen they've released. Don't forget, the source of the previous phenomenon was in the Xuanhuang Star Domain."

He pondered for a moment and issued an order.

"Send Jin Lin, the strongest prodigy of our generation, to the humans' Xuanhuang Supreme Academy! At all costs, find out the truth behind the phenomenon!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

After a moment, the giant hesitated, as if remembering something else, and finally added a sentence.

"By the way, have Jin Jiao take some people to check out their so-called Great Xia Martial Academy as well."

"As you command!"

The divine mountain gradually returned to silence.

But an undercurrent strong enough to stir the entire sea of stars had already begun to surge.

At the same time, among the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky, almost all the powerful races were playing out a similar scene.

The Netherworld Race, the Winged Race, the Three-Eyed God Clan, the Flame Race...

One powerful race after another was startled by these sudden Nine Resonances of the Great Dao and began to take action.

Although they didn't know where this phenomenon originated, many races coincidentally cast their suspicious gazes toward the humans, whose fortune had been flourishing in recent years.

Of course, some races also looked toward established powerhouses like the Golden God Clan, wary of whether some heaven-defying object had been born among them.

The entire sea of stars was surging with undercurrents.

The status quo that had been peaceful for many years seemed to be on the verge of being broken.

...

Human territory.

Ning Jianghe and the other Martial Saints were also all awakened by these nine sounds of the Great Dao.

"Nine Resonances of the Great Dao! A heaven-defying object must have been born!"

Ning Jianghe held a bronze spear and stood atop the Star Pass giant city, his eyes filled with shock.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he murmured to himself.

"Calculating the time, Yuaner should have settled down at the Great Xia Martial Academy by now... It couldn't be... that kid who caused this, right?"

This thought only flashed through his mind before he dismissed it with a self-deprecating laugh.

His grandson was certainly heaven-defying to the extreme.

But his cultivation was still shallow; he was just a Qi and Blood Warrior. He couldn't possibly be called 'heaven-defying' yet, let alone trigger such a terrifying phenomenon that affected the entire sea of stars.

"No, I need to quickly get in touch with Old Man Hua and the others."

"Those races have been watching us more and more closely lately. We old guys must buy enough time for the youngsters below to grow!"

"Once the new generation of youngsters grows up and the number of Martial Saints in our human race doubles or triples, we will have completely established a firm foothold in this sea of stars!"

Thinking of this, a trace of chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

His gaze swept out, looking toward the dark universe beyond the Star Pass.

Suddenly, he thrust his bronze spear forward!

A bolt of lightning cut through the void, and a Corpse Race starry sky fortress that was stealthily approaching in the distance, along with the legion within it, was instantly turned into cosmic dust!

The starry sky was never peaceful.

Although a full-scale racial war hadn't broken out, local frictions and conflicts had never stopped.

Take the humans, for example.

The blood feud with the Netherworld Race from a thousand years ago had not yet ended. Although both main forces showed restraint, there were frequent frictions at the borders.

In particular, the subsidiary races of the two great powerful races were locked in a world-shaking slaughter.

...

Ancestral Star, Great Xia Martial Academy, inside Villa No. 1.

Jiang Mingyue, who was cultivating in her room, was forcefully jolted out of her meditative state by these nine sounds of the Great Dao.

At this moment, the layer of treasure concealing her had faded, revealing an exquisite face that could make the stars and moon lose their luster.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her moon-colored dress swayed, and she had jade-like skin and red lips. Even sitting cross-legged, one could see those long, straight legs sliding down a breathtaking curve, inevitably drawing the eye to those toes as full and translucent as pearls.

At this moment, the face of this stunning young girl was filled with bewilderment and shock.

Her beautiful eyes were wide and round.

"Again?"

"Nine Resonances of the Great Dao? What... what level of heaven-defying object could possibly be born to trigger such a phenomenon?"

She was completely dumbfounded.

Not long ago, it was starlight piercing the heavens.

Now, it's the Nine Resonances of the Great Dao.

Neither of these things had ever happened in her past life!

"And that Ning Yuan..."

Her mind was a complete mess.

"Did I... did I really reborn back to the past? Or was I reborn into a seemingly similar but different parallel time and space?"

"Why do I always feel that these two earth-shattering phenomena are somehow related to that guy next door?"

Jiang Mingyue's heart could no longer remain calm.

Then, she laughed at herself in self-mockery.

The Nine Resonances of the Great Dao!

Such a phenomenon had rarely appeared even in the long river of the starry sky's history.

How could it possibly be related to a mere Qi and Blood Warrior?

Even though she was the strongest Martial Saint of the human race in her previous life, she had never experienced this.

She subconsciously looked toward the wall, her gaze seemingly wanting to penetrate through it to see Ning Yuan's every move in the next room.

"Forget it, I won't think about it. I'll find an opportunity to test him properly later."

"Even if everything has changed and I've lost my advantage of foresight, so what?"

"The fact that I, Jiang Mingyue, am living a second life is the greatest advantage of all!"

"In this life, I will surely reach the peak of the martial path and surpass the Martial Saint realm!"

The flames of dominance were rekindled in Jiang Mingyue's eyes.
