Chapter 470: Reflecting the Heavens

Silently and imperceptibly, a grand, mighty, and ancient energy permeated from beyond the heavens, pressing down towards Mount Longhu as if the very sky were overturning.

It was too sudden, utterly terrifying. Chu Feng was stunned, abruptly looking up at the sky. He was taken aback and very surprised by what was happening. Yet, Yao Yao remained serene and unconcerned, calmly observing the development. Chu Feng suddenly understood: no wonder Yao Yao had repeatedly gazed beyond the domain and mentioned several times that time was running out. She had a premonition and knew what would emerge from outside.

Subsequently, a bizarre celestial phenomenon stunned the world. Instantly, people worldwide looked up, their faces etched with horror as they gazed at the sky. At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, barely able to believe what they saw, frozen in place like statues. One colossal star after another appeared, rotating ponderously, immensely vast and reflected in the outer domain. They seemed incredibly close, so incredibly large!

It was broad daylight, a clear blue sky, yet countless stars instantly appeared, so immense and many times grander than what was usually visible. Stars arrayed in formation during bright daylight—such a sight had never been witnessed, making people question if they were dreaming. Even the sun was no longer prominent or unique; numerous celestial bodies surpassed it, rumbling as they rotated, spanning across the sky. This was a terrifying celestial phenomenon never before witnessed.

The sensation was most pronounced at Mount Longhu.

"Reflecting the Heavens!" Chu Feng murmured bitterly, finally understanding what was about to transpire. Were supreme beings, creatures of the highest evolutionary level, about to descend?

"It's nothing significant," Yao Yao said nonchalantly, "just a tattered decree."

In the sky, a golden decree appeared, slowly descending from beyond the heavens and heading towards Mount Longhu. The oppressive might of it was undetectable elsewhere. But here, it felt like a vast ocean surging or a galaxy plummeting—utterly terrifying. The myriad stars in the sky slowly rotated, as if intending to collectively suppress Mount Longhu! The whole world watched!

Countless massive stars appeared beyond the domain, so enormous they were even more striking than the sun in the sky, a truly heart-shaking sight. Simultaneously, many noticed a golden decree descending, intended to seal Mount Longhu! Outside, no one dared to speak; utter silence reigned. It was a tremor from the depths of their souls, making them feel as if they were facing the heavens, trembling faintly. If people in other regions felt this way even without the full oppressive power descending directly, one could only imagine the sensation at Mount Longhu.

Saintess Li Lin's scalp tingled; she almost knelt involuntarily. It was a reverence rising from the depths of her heart, coupled with an uncontrollable primal instinct.

"It's just a decree; why kneel to it?" Yao Yao said, glancing at her. She then released a white mist that instantly enveloped herself, Chu Feng, and a nearby mountain cat and magpie, providing protection. At the same time, she struck downward with her hand, and Mount Longhu instantly blazed with light, emitting roars of dragons and tigers. Supreme domain symbols rose from underground, instantly blocking the golden decree. This was a domain field personally established by the Saint Teacher, and upon confronting a decree from a "Reflecting the Heavens" level expert, it immediately manifested to block its oppressive power.

"Seal the demoness of Mount Longhu!" A grand voice resonated from the sky, and several shining characters appeared. These were divine script, the universal writing system of the cosmos, and specifically, its most ancient form. The divine script used today had already been simplified!

In the star paths behind many famous mountains worldwide, all the divine sons and saintesses clenched their fists and let out a long breath. The news they had received earlier was true; a supreme expert had indeed made a move! Otherwise, with such a woman present, how would they ever dare to emerge from the star paths? They would never have their day. Especially when the interstellar network covered Earth, they immediately contacted the depths of space, even logging directly onto the Original Beast Platform to learn the latest situation. At that moment, everyone's hair stood on end. They had encountered the astounding woman who once suppressed an entire era, who had made all divine sons and saintesses in the brilliant starry sky bow their heads. How could such a figure be provoked?

Now, they had received confidential reports that the peerless demon fairy would be suppressed and eternally sealed. What more was there to fear? The fortunes of this planet belonged to them! All the star paths instantly erupted in excitement! All beings from beyond the domain were jubilant, no longer worried or afraid. Earth's native evolutionaries, however, felt a gloom in their hearts; this matter was too terrifying! Of course, Penglai was an exception; they were excited, their fighting spirit soaring as they secretly celebrated!

At Mount Longhu, the golden decree, reflecting across the sky, slowly descended, nearing the mountain. However, it was continuously dimmed by the grinding of the domain symbols, with some edges even beginning to burn. Nevertheless, it slowly drew closer, eventually stopping right before them, not far from Yao Yao.

"Yao Yao, seal the mountain as agreed!" Within this golden decree, an imprint actually emitted fluctuations, allowing a grand voice to be clearly perceived.

"So, outside, you'll be on your own," Yao Yao said, turning to Chu Feng. "As long as you are strong enough, act according to your will, sweep through everything, and have nothing to fear. They are nothing special and wouldn't dare to do much." At this, she pointed beyond the heavens and added, "If they dare to interfere again, the cost will be immense and tragic, and I will act again!" She spoke these words directly in the face of the golden decree, completely disregarding its command.

"Sister, who is he?" Chu Feng asked who the master behind this decree was, who dared to "Reflect the Heavens" and come here to seal Yao Yao!

"My former fiancé's master," Yao Yao replied without hesitation.

"It's him!" Chu Feng was moved. This was indeed a great figure, one who had already "Reflected the Heavens" back then, with unfathomable and terrifyingly vast cultivation.

"Yes," Yao Yao calmly mentioned, recalling old matters, "he also had a dojo on this planet back then, but he retreated just moments before the war. After that, the starry sky armies swept directly into that area. We should thank him for not attacking us then."

The golden decree was suppressed by the domain symbols, its edges already burning and emitting vast, ocean-like fluctuations, which were exceptionally terrifying.

"Seal the mountain." Only two words, yet they conveyed a profound will.

"How verbose," Yao Yao said with disgust. "I already know. Thank you for your kind intentions, but I can protect myself." The decree glowed, emitting an even more terrifying and intimidating aura. Yao Yao cast a sidelong glance. With a swish, she took a silver paper page from Chu Feng and swung it forward, emitting dazzling white light. This silver paper page, as sharp as a blade and exuding unfathomable domain symbols, cut the golden decree into several pieces with a few swift motions, which then fluttered to the ground.

Saintess Li Lin was dumbfounded and utterly shaken to witness such a direct confrontation with a decree from a "Reflecting the Heavens" level supreme expert! However, the matter was not yet over. Yao Yao walked over, protected by the silver paper, and directly stepped with both feet onto the several burning pieces of the golden decree, looking down as she commanded, "Retreat!" At this moment, even Chu Feng was dumbfounded; her dominance was simply overwhelming. Who exactly was the "Reflecting the Heavens" expert?

Yao Yao's face showed disgust as she removed her feet, then waved her hand, commanding it to disperse. The fragments of the golden decree boomed, emitting a dazzling burst of light as if attempting to revolt, but they were utterly suppressed by the silver paper's runes, eventually turning into a rain of light and dissipating.

"Back then, I wasn't even afraid of death, so why would I accept your decree and kneel?" Yao Yao scoffed, pursing her lips. She strode forward with her long legs, stepping over the ashes of the decree on the ground without another glance. Saintess Li Lin's scalp had long gone numb, and she was petrified on the spot. She was utterly awed; being a maid beside such a person was no humiliation at all. Even as a saintess from a higher planet, she paled in comparison.

Yao Yao looked at Chu Feng and said, "Unfortunately, this world is balanced. Even if I am fearless, I cannot fully act on my will."

Chu Feng was deeply moved and exclaimed, "Sister, you are magnificent!"

"Ultimately, it's the result of mutual compromise," Yao Yao said. "I don't want to mention that person again." She then brought up Earth.

"It's not that those beings are benevolent and spared this place from destruction; rather, they dare not," Yao Yao explained. "Some of my uncles are still alive—some roam the cosmic frontier, others slumber in bronze coffins, isolated from the world. They are worried, afraid these people might suddenly return. Haha, in their eyes, those uncles are the source of evil, terrorists, capable of launching devastating and unpredictable attacks against them. You should know that destruction is always easier than construction. They have accumulated wealth for tens of thousands of generations, nurtured spiritual beauty, and occupied countless resource-rich planets, filled with herbs and rare metals. Naturally, they fear suffering calamity." Yao Yao smiled, revealing the underlying reason.

"They've simply retreated for now," she continued. "They worry that Saint Teacher Uncle isn't dead. He is a supreme expert whose comprehensive strength is enough to 'Reflect the Heavens.' As long as he lives, they will worry for eternity! To be enemies with someone of that caliber, and to let him successfully escape—everyone would be restless, unable to eat or sleep, and dare not attack again." Saint Teacher alone is capable of destroying vast stretches of living planets, instantly obliterating their accumulation of tens of thousands of generations and leaving them desolate. As the saying goes, 'the barefoot are not afraid of the shoed.'

Yao Yao continued, "So, don't think too highly of them. Even those who 'Reflect the Heavens' are still human, or rather, gluttonous beasts. Their methods back then were quite something. Years ago, the great war erupted suddenly, without warning. Before it, they tricked some powerful figures and certain family members from our home planet—such as my mother, my brother, and Saint Teacher Uncle's only bloodline—leading them all beyond the domain before the incident. The 'Reflecting the Heavens' experts then forced the people on our home planet to fight to the death. They understood human hearts, knowing we had people we couldn't bear to lose."

"Forget it, I won't say more about these old, dark matters. It was very complex then, the waters were too deep. Don't think that those lofty beings are truly divine."

"Alright," she concluded, "you go to the Fengchan Land. You can also send your relatives and friends to Mount Longhu. Now, both sides have taken a step back: if the outer domain saints don't act, I won't make a move either. Everything depends on you. Besides, I'm willing but powerless; I cannot remain in this world for long. This wisp of obsession should finally slumber, residing within that particle of immortal gold."

Chu Feng looked at her, bidding farewell, unsure when he would see this stunning woman again. He vowed to find every possible way to revive her, to make her reappear in the world as soon as possible, to truly return and look down upon the starry sky!

"I will go to the Fengchan Land," Chu Feng declared with unwavering determination. "There's a grand altar where ancient Sage Emperors and ancestors once jointly sacrificed to the heavens. I will outline the magnificent and invincible true form of the Free Realm there!"

Meanwhile, within the folded spaces deep within the famous mountains, unrest was already stirring, gradually escalating to a boil. Divine sons and saintesses from all paths were ready to challenge the barriers, and numerous beings from beyond the domain were about to appear, seeking to enter Earth's main space!
