Chapter 577: Saint Master Reappears

In the starry sky, eyes as vast as the moon instantly shifted from pale gold to a terrifying brilliance, like two colossal golden lanterns suspended in the dark cosmos. They were cold and merciless, and while this location was illuminated, everywhere else remained dim.

He witnessed scenes of "Void Projection," one after another, reflected from the cosmic frontier and transmitted from the depths of the universe. The rusted bronze coffin was advancing with incredible speed.

The solar system, once completely pitch-black, was now glowing due to the coffin's projections from countless star systems away, making its features gradually visible.

"Interesting. Someone confirmed dead can still revive? Highly unlikely!"

The unimaginable giant from the Heavenly Gods' Clan spoke, his voice reverberating, causing Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn to tremble slightly.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Gods' Clan felt their tension ease.

"Exactly! Our ancient ancestor ventured across the cosmic frontier into a ruined ancient universe within the chaos and found evidence of that person's death. How could he possibly still be alive?!"

Across the star sea, countless races watched the battle, their hearts surging with emotion. Many were both shocked and immensely expectant, for the reappearance of the bronze coffin signified an impending, unparalleled battle, akin to a cosmic earthquake.

Many held their breath, watching with intense focus. If this individual returned, it could potentially shake the Heavenly Gods' Clan to its core!

"Even if it is you, so what? I've wanted to settle accounts with you for a long time. When I first rose to prominence, I could only slay the Saints here, unable to face you. But now, it is not the same era!"

The moon-sized golden eyes emitted a terrifying light, and his voice was utterly devoid of emotion. He knew who had arrived, yet he still intended to strike.

His pupils glowed eerily, as if connected to hell. Reflected deep within his eyes were mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of planets.

These were all battles he had experienced throughout his long existence!

He had personally annihilated countless powerful races, his hands stained with countless bloodsheds.

"Hmm, I smell the familiar scent of blood again. The eleventh-ranked planet in the cosmos once… I massacred here, leaving corpses strewn across the land and rivers of blood, severing the heads of those old Saints. Watching their desperate faces was truly a pleasure. The old scenes are vividly clear."

His voice was slow and low. Knowing a powerful opponent was approaching, yet speaking like this was an absolute provocation, a profound contempt for Earth's inhabitants.

At that moment, he slowly but decisively attacked. His ink-black giant hand covered the starry sky, reaching towards Earth, drawing in endless energy like a cosmic black hole. The starry sky became eerily dark once more.

"I will destroy this planet. What can you do? How will you stop me!?" he spoke grimly, his golden eyes glowing, reflecting the模糊 outline of his face. When he opened his mouth, his white teeth looked somewhat terrifying.

This was likely a being of impressive appearance, but the energy and aura he released made him unapproachable and terrifying to the extreme.

The black giant hand bypassed other planets, aiming solely at Earth, descending with immense and intimidating power. It was hard to imagine how colossal his unrevealed true form might be; it threatened to shatter the entire solar system.

On Earth, many evolved beings turned pale and trembled uncontrollably. This was a world-ending catastrophe; who could escape?!

The massive hand reached out, intending to destroy heaven and earth, seemingly unstoppable.

Suddenly, at this moment, not only Earth but also the Moon began to pour forth runes. Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, and even the Sun, all unleashed terrifying symbols, forming an astonishing and shocking force field. Intertwined, the entire solar system became blinding and awe-inspiring.

Those outside were instantly stunned, their hair standing on end, especially the powerful beings within the solar system, including Saints, who felt their scalps tingle.

Who said this place could be entered and exited freely? The entire solar system had actually been set up with a grand force field. The Sacred Teacher had returned in the past and laid down formidable arrangements, which were now unleashing their power.

"Hm?!"

The black giant hand approaching Earth was illuminated by the light, then pierced by unparalleled sword energy, spewing golden blood. The sight was somewhat frightening.

The nine planets, and even some massive meteorites, shone with brilliant light. Embedded within them were treasures like magnetic marrow, inscribed with supreme symbols to form a killing ground.

"God-Slaying Force Field!"

Someone gasped, trembling and turning pale. This was a terrifying force field specifically designed to slay gods. It had once caused countless casualties among the Heavenly Gods' Clan, their heads falling like dumplings.

That year, the Sacred Teacher, filled with grief and fury, had acted, causing a bloody rain to fall. He had broken through deadly traps, escaped encirclement, and directly annihilated a section of the Heavenly Gods' Clan. It was battles like these that made them unforgettable to all races even today.

"Sacred Teacher, you bane! Do you truly believe these insignificant runes you left behind can kill me?!"

The giant's voice was cold. Regardless, his palm was bleeding; he was injured. For even him to be injured in this decaying land was not glorious for the Heavenly Gods' Clan.

He moved again. The massive hand rapidly shrunk, its target no longer so obvious, attempting to elude the God-Slaying Sword Energy and escape the danger zone.

However, the Sun, Earth, other planets, and the Moon all erupted with divine light, striking towards him. Sword energy pierced the heavens and tore through the cosmos!

Far away, the Saints hiding nearby trembled in immense fear, worried that they too might become targets of annihilation, as they were also in this star system.

Fortunately, the God-Slaying Force Field was currently only targeting the Heavenly Gods' giant!

Who could have imagined that the vast solar system, normally appearing peaceful, would now directly transform into a battleground?

At this moment, many light-years away, all high-ranking personnel of the Machine Race had grim expressions. They had once dispatched an overwhelming fleet of battleships to the solar system. Now, it seemed laughable. If these force fields had revived then, it would have been like moths drawn to a flame; all their battleships would have been reduced to dust.

Suddenly, the nine planets began to rotate unusually, aligning into a single line, forming a strange spectacle in the solar system. Then, they fired off beams of divine energy.

Like an immortal sword being drawn from its scabbard, emitting a metallic hum, akin to a dragon's roar, a terrifying sight emerged: the alignment of nine planets, along with the Sun, formed a straight line, constructing a cosmic sword!

This sight stunned everyone. Whether it was the pale evolved beings watching from this location or beings from outside this domain, all felt shocked. It was truly unbelievable.

Was this the Sacred Teacher's method? To arrange celestial bodies and set up force fields in such a way, even back then!

At this moment, the force field symbols became dazzling and radiant, their energy unleashed to the extreme. The nine planets and the Sun, aligned into a straight line, transformed into an immortal sword, now being drawn.

The starry sky was sliced open. The black giant hand, profusely bleeding, was severed by this cosmic sword. Golden blood splattered, shocking the star sea and causing all races to tremble.

This was the method of a force field researcher. He was not even a Heaven-Reflecting tier being back then. No wonder he could contend with beings of that caliber; his power truly defied the heavens.

The immortal sword was drawn, and a terrifyingly vast beam of light slashed horizontally and vertically, striking down the Heavenly Gods' giant!

"How is this possible?!" The Heavenly Gods' Clan members trembled, feeling a sense of panic. Their terrifying existence had personally acted, yet he was injured.

In the starry sky, those golden eyes, larger than the moon, revealed immeasurable fury. Visions of stars being destroyed and mountains of corpses and seas of blood flickered within them. His killing intent was boundless.

"Sacred Teacher, you deceased being! Across multiple eras, spanning antiquity, you still think you can harm me? Begone!"

He roared, opening his mouth and spewing out swathes of light, which were all energy-formed flying spears. They surged towards the immortal sword, as his body seemed to burn, radiating golden light as divine power flowed through him.

In the starry sky, the flying spears clashed with the immortal sword, sparks flying. But in the end, they were all cut down. The immortal sword struck down again. The colossal Heavenly Gods' giant, at the moment he opened his mouth, began devouring the cosmic starry sky, truly transforming into a black hole, intending to swallow the immortal sword.

Blinding light shone. The nine planets separated, returning to their original orbits, revolving and emitting ripples. Now, besides the immortal sword, there were also divine rings, like vajra demon-subduing circles, formed from the ripples. They enveloped the Heavenly Gods' giant, aiming to confine him.

"Hey, you big oaf from the Heavenly Gods' Clan, you're just boasting! If you dare, come down! You're about to be chopped to pieces, yet you dare to speak of annihilating Earth?"

The toad was incredibly impudent, taunting from Dragon-Tiger Mountain, making many people's hair stand on end. This fellow feared nothing.

The great black ox also shouted, "Heavenly Gods' Clan, you're truly pathetic! Is this your so-called power to destroy Earth? It's nothing special! You're about to be chopped into meat chunks. Did you come from millions of miles away just to be meat for the slaughter?!"

"Divine Incarnation!"

In the starry sky, the giant let out a cold roar. His body shrunk, emitting the most dazzling light, continually shrinking as if standing in eternity. He eluded the immortal sword and the vajra rings, instantly reappearing far away.

"Sacred Teacher, I await your arrival! Today, I will kill you!" His voice grew even colder and more ruthless.

Across the cosmic sea of stars, an ancient bronze coffin traversed. It pierced through star domains, passed through wormholes, continually performing spatial leaps, approaching the solar system with unimaginable speed.

Earlier, the force fields had provided enough resistance to buy him time, allowing him to arrive, enter the Milky Way, and then rush towards the solar system.

The ancient coffin, which had drifted at the cosmic frontier for unknown years, bore cosmic dust and an aura of antiquity. Heavily marked with mottled rust, it was nonetheless deeply intimidating.

"Sacred Teacher!"

"That person from back then has reappeared! So, he didn't die after all?!"

"The Sacred Teacher has returned! Is he going to fight the Heavenly Gods' Clan again?!"

Throughout the cosmos, the leaders of many powerful races exclaimed, their hearts palpitating as they gazed at the Milky Way.

The void shattered. The bronze coffin emerged from within the solar system, reappearing in this ancient land, directly confronting the Heavenly Gods' giant.

"Sacred Teacher, I'll see if you're truly dead or alive!"

The Heavenly Gods' powerhouse, with a mighty roar, unleashed surging golden light that incinerated all heavens, threatening to explode the entire solar system. He revealed his true form, resplendent and dazzlingly golden all over.

He was domineering. He lifted his massive foot and, with a single stride, arrived before it. He brandished his Heavenly God Fist, its light tearing through the starry sky, illuminating the entire solar system and even dimming the Sun, as it struck towards the bronze sarcophagus!

The bronze coffin lid opened a crack, and an ancient whip emerged. It was the Sacred Teacher's former Star-Herding Whip, which suddenly shot up to meet the adversary.

Blinding divine light erupted, engulfing the area, making the entire solar system appear to burn. All sights vanished, such was the ferocity and terror of this initial strike.
