Chapter 0258: The Age of Dying Laws Planet

Huang Long understood what Sea God Apton meant.
“First, let’s head to the Qingyao Star Region, the Age of Dying Laws Planet,” Huang Long said after a moment of contemplation. “We’ll put aside Sophia’s matter at the Youwu Domain Palace for now.”
Long Yi and the others nodded. Sea God Apton also refrained from objecting. His earlier mention of the Youwu Domain Palace was merely out of momentary anger.
After all, anyone trapped on a Dark Star would react the same way.
After making the decision, as they passed through the Youwu Star Region, they did not go to the Youwu Domain Palace. Unimpeded, they arrived at the Qingyao Star Region.
Among the dozen or so star regions in Tianyun, the Qingyao Star Region was the weakest in strength. However, although it ranked at the bottom in Tianyun, its ruler, Bob, was extremely powerful and ranked among the top ten in Tianyun.
After arriving at the Qingyao Star Region, Huang Long and his group did not rush to the region’s main planet, Qingyao Star. Instead, they stayed on a planet nearby in the starry sky for several days before heading toward Qingyao Star.
From afar, Qingyao Star emitted a faint blue glow. These glows were from wind elements.
Upon arriving in the Qingyao Star Region, they noticed that the wind elements here were significantly denser than those in other elements, which puzzled them. It seemed that each region’s ruler specialized in a certain element, making that element more abundant in their region. Bob, the ruler of the Qingyao Star Region, specialized in wind elements.
Half a month later, guided by Baili, they arrived at a valley to the north of Qingyao Star. This valley was called Mingyang Valley.
The magic teleportation array of the Qingyao Domain Palace was located deep within Mingyang Valley.
Although Mingyang Valley was in the north of Qingyao Star, it was warm compared to the surrounding cold areas. As soon as they entered the valley, they felt warmth all over their bodies.
Mingyang Valley was not large, covering only about a hundred square miles. Under Huang Long’s divine perception, everything inside the valley was clearly visible.
“Two Divine Realms, over a dozen Sacred Realms,” Huang Long said, his eyes gleaming as he withdrew his divine perception. Earlier, his perception had revealed everything about the forces guarding the magic array in Mingyang Valley.
There were two Divine Realms, over a dozen Sacred Realms, plus several hundred advanced warriors, but no God-level warriors.
“Let’s go!” After assessing the situation in the valley, Huang Long transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the magic array.
“Who?!” As Huang Long and his group approached, they no longer concealed their presence. The two Divine Realm warriors guarding the magic array sensed them first and shouted in surprise.

Just as the two had finished drinking, two sword beams flashed, piercing through their bodies in an instant. With their eyes wide open, they collapsed in disbelief. The dozen or so saints and other elite warriors who came out and saw this scene turned pale with fear. As they prepared to flee in panic, the sky darkened. Looking up, they were shocked to see a giant umbrella appear high in the sky. Then, a powerful sucking force washed over them, causing them to lose consciousness. Standing high in the sky, Huang Long waved his hands to retract the umbrella and descended, landing on the magic array. By then, Long Yi and the others had recovered from their shock and also flew down. The magic array resembled a huge magic disc embedded in the ground, circular in shape. Its surface was covered with magic symbols crisscrossing every corner, made of some unknown material. “Is this the magic array?!” Long Yi and the others exclaimed in delight. Baili Er, who came out of the Immortals Pavilion, nodded and smiled. “Of course.” Huang Long nodded as well. The magic array was indeed real, but everything was going too smoothly—something seemed strange. Normally, guarding a magic array would require two Divine Realm beings and a dozen or so Saints, which was normal. But since Huang Long and his group had come to Tianyun, Realm King Oster, Sovereign of the Void Sophia, Sovereign of the Crystal Realm Darnell, and others would surely investigate their purpose for coming to Tianyun. Although they might not discover that Huang Long and his group were heading to the End of Laws Star for the Blue Whale Temple, they would definitely find out that they were going there. Thus, they would likely guess that Huang Long and his group intended to use this magic array. According to Huang Long’s thinking, Realm King Oster and the others should have set up obstacles around the magic array, but unexpectedly, everything remained as usual. “Brother Huang Long, are you worried about the Realm King’s palace?” Long Yi asked, seeing Huang Long standing there in thought. Huang Long nodded. The joy on Long Yi and the others’ faces faded as they fell into deep thought. They naturally understood Huang Long’s concerns. “Sophia was trapped with us on Dark Star. Now that we’ve escaped, has she told Realm King Oster about it? That’s why they might think we’re still trapped on Dark Star and haven’t sent anyone here?” Simpu from the Phoenix clan said after a while. “I think that’s possible,” Beilin agreed with her husband’s guess. Long Yi and the Sea God Apton exchanged glances without saying anything, seemingly agreeing with this explanation. Apart from that, they couldn’t think of any other reasons. Huang Long remained silent. Anyway, now that they had found the magic array, they certainly wouldn’t leave just like that.

Next, Huang Long used the method of divine consciousness imprinting to subdue all those from the Qingyao Domain Palace who were trapped inside the Sky-Piercing Umbrella, thereby obtaining the method to activate the magic array. Of course, to be cautious before activating the magic array to enter the Age of Decline Planet, Huang Long released eight divine-grade star beasts such as the Fire Cloud Beast King, over thirty sacred-grade star beasts, and even, after some thought, released his own original spirit to guard this area in case of any sudden changes. In this way, even if people from the Domain Palace like Oster came, they would no longer be a threat. When the magic array was activated and lights flashed, Huang Long and his group finally disappeared together through the magic array. Thousands of miles away, in an underground secret chamber of the Qingyao Domain Palace, Oster’s eyes gleamed coldly: “They have indeed entered the Age of Decline Planet!” “I never expected Huang Long to be so lucky and to escape from the Dark Star!” A delicate female voice followed. With a flash of light, a gorgeous and charming woman and a middle-aged man appeared—none other than Sophia, the ruler of the Youwu Domain who had been trapped with Huang Long and the others in the Dark Star, and Clyde, the ruler of the Xinyuan Domain. “But this is good too. Letting him die in the Dark Star would be too easy for him. This time, I will personally kill him!” Sophia said coldly. “Only the rulers of each domain in Tianyun know the way out of the Dark Star’s Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Could it be that Huang Long came out of the Forbidden Magic Mountain?” Clyde, the ruler of the Xinyuan Domain, asked, frowning. “That’s unlikely. The peak ice rain in the Forbidden Magic Mountain is hard even for mid-tier gods to escape,” said a short middle-aged man standing beside Oster, his voice hoarse but his eyes sharp—none other than Bob, the ruler of the Qingyao Domain. “There’s no need to guess how Huang Long escaped. Since he’s out now, we must ensure he never escapes from the Age of Decline Planet again,” Oster said gravely. “Of course!” Sophia sneered. “Darnell, have you arrived?” Oster turned to ask Lei Zhe, who was standing respectfully beside him. To be absolutely sure, Oster naturally wanted to gather all available forces to eliminate Huang Long in one strike. “Replying to His Majesty the Domain King, Lord Darnell has already reached Qingyao Star and is on his way here now,” Lei Zhe replied quickly. “With the eight divine-level beings and twenty-one divine domains of Tianyun, I don’t think Huang Long can escape this time,” Oster said with a cold expression.

Before long, Darnell, the lord of theglass Domain, arrived with many powerful warriors. Besides Darnell, there were two divine-level figures: one was Bernie, a divine-level warrior from theglass Domain Palace, and the other was Tracy, a divine-level warrior from the Wanquan Domain Palace in the Guanyuan Space. Since both theglass Domain Palace and the Wanquan Domain Palace belonged to the Elios family in the divine plane, it was not surprising for Tracy, a divine-level warrior from the Wanquan Domain Palace, to come here. Seeing everyone gathered, King of the Realm Oster scanned the surroundings and then said coldly, “Now, let’s set off!” With that, he took off first toward the magic array, and the others followed.

…

As the magic array transported them, Huang Long and his companions saw a flash of light before opening their eyes again. They were stunned by what they saw—the landscape was devastated, with cracked ground and crisscrossing fissures everywhere. Everything was lifeless, devoid of any sign of vitality. At that moment, Huang Long’s mind stirred, and a blue light flashed. In mid-air, an object appeared—it was the key to the Blue Whale Temple. The key trembled slightly in the air before flying northward. Huang Long and his companions immediately followed.

During their flight, aside from the faint black aura of death emerging from the surface of the Mo Fa Star and occasional sandstorms, there was nothing else—not even undead creatures. This situation was unusual, causing Huang Long to frown.

Before long, Huang Long and his companions arrived at a hill following the key to the Blue Whale Temple. Once there, the key stopped in mid-air, humming softly. The hill was not large, only dozens of meters high, with nothing else around it. “Could the Blue Whale Temple be beneath this hill?” Long Yi looked at the hill skeptically, but there seemed to be no entrance. Standing high in the air, Huang Long extended his divine sense downward. After a while, he descended and landed on one side of the hill. He channeled his magic, and starting from his feet, layers of earthy yellow light spread out. Under the watchful eyes of Huang Long and his companions, the earth waves condensed and parted, revealing a stone door several meters wide. Seeing this, they were overjoyed and landed as well.

“A magical restriction,” Long Yi said as he looked at the stone door after landing. On top of the door was a strange floral pattern that emitted a faint glow, creating an invisible pull around it.

Once the stone door was revealed, the Blue Whale Temple Key trembled and shot toward it. As it rushed toward the door, the floral pattern on it flashed violently. Finally, with a loud roar, the door slowly opened, revealing a dark, gaping hole.
