C432 Agreement!

The enigmatic workings of the Aura Altar began to unravel as Lin Yue, Chi Yin, and their peers engaged in deep discussions. With human cultivators and the Demon Race joining forces to battle the Outland Devaputra beyond the vast expanse of the Boundless Land, their knowledge of these celestial adversaries grew. Even those who had never ventured beyond this realm learned of the extraordinary beings that dwelled among the stars from the tales of their elders and the pages of ancient tomes.

Among the myriad lifeforms of the galaxy, the Outland Devaputra were known to be the most formidable. The Devaputra Race itself was diverse, including distinct groups like the Moon Demon and the Blue Devil Clan. And among all the Galaxy Alien Races, it was the Outland Devaputra who harbored the deepest animosity toward the inhabitants of the Boundless Land.

The reason was straightforward: before the humans and demons of the Boundless Land had ventured forth, it was the Devaputra who had dominated the Outer Star River. In essence, the Outland Devaputra were the original overlords of the galactic realms.

However, with the ascendance of the humans and the Demon Race within the Boundless Land, these beings swiftly became the prime targets. They were suppressed and slain, serving as the whetstone against which the humans and demons honed their skills and advanced their cultivation.

For a human Yang cultivator, reaching the Yang God Stage meant taking to the stars and claiming the life of a Devaputra as a rite of passage. It was as though without vanquishing an Outland Devaputra, one could not truly claim the title of Yang God or be considered tempered by the trials of the Outer Star River.

Consequently, a deep-seated enmity festered between the Outland Devaputra, the Human Race, and the great demons of the Boundless Land—a feud that would not rest until one side was utterly destroyed. After countless epic battles, the ranks of the Devaputra Race were decimated, suffering grievous losses.

The human race and their demonic allies also paid a steep price, with many falling in the fray. Nevertheless, the humans, with their vast numbers, could progress from the onset of their cultivation journey to the esteemed status of a Yang cultivator in just a few centuries. Some prodigies even managed to reach the Yang God realm within a mere century, thereby stepping into the Outland Star River.

Lacking the capacity and advantage to quickly regroup and produce a new generation of formidable warriors, the Outland Devaputra found their supremacy in the Outland Star River eroding. Over time, their once unchallenged rule was usurped by the relentless rise of the human and Demon Races of the Boundless Land.

The human race's march into the cosmos didn't falter even after the devastating defeat of the Devaputra Race; they pressed on, penetrating deep into the heart of various galaxies.

This expansion forced the Galaxy Alien Races to form an unlikely alliance with the Devaputra Race, uniting to fend off the combined forces of humans and demons.

The frequent clashes with the Devaputra Race led the cultivators of the Boundless Land to gain profound insights into their adversaries.

The Aura Altar, a Magic Tool of terrifying power, was exclusive to the Devaputra Race.

Only the most powerful branches of the Devaputra Race could claim ownership of an Aura Altar, and even then, they were limited to two or three at most.

Lesser branches might not possess a single Aura Altar.

Legend has it that the Aura Altar was forged in the remote depths of the Outland Star River. The Devaputra Race crafted it using the corpses and souls of their own kind as a foundation, blending in hundreds of rare and exotic treasures from the galaxy, all refined over ten thousand years.

The Chaos Abyss, the most mysterious and perilous region in the galaxy, served as the foundation for the Aura Altar. It was said to have the power to consume all in its path.

Locating a stable Chaos Abyss could take a Devaputra clan hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Once found, a Great Demon God of the Devaputra Race would have to make the ultimate sacrifice, merging with his own body and soul.

Finally, after pouring in a treasure trove of rare artifacts amassed over countless years, the Aura Altar would be reforged over millennia, emerging as a formidable instrument of war.

Such a creation would significantly bolster the military might of any Devaputra clan.

The completed Aura Altar, wielding the fearsome force of the Chaos Abyss, could be wielded by the Devaputra Race as a cataclysmic killing artifact.

Outside the galaxy, the Devaputra Race harnessed the Aura Altar to devour the souls of Yang Gods and Unrestrained Stage cultivators, to crush and smelt the massive bodies of demons.

Even the colossal star beasts would be reduced to nothing if ensnared by the Aura Altar.

In the interstellar wars, the Aura Altar stood as the Devaputra Race's dread blade, a symbol of terror to all rival races.

Every severely wounded Devaputra could swiftly recover from their injuries within mere moments, thanks to the Blood Aura Altar!

Whether it was shattered limbs or gravely damaged Devil Souls, they could be instantaneously healed inside the Blood Aura Altar. This miraculous altar enabled every Devaputra to regain their peak strength in no time, ready to resume their battles.

However, this was contingent upon the Aura Altar having an ample reserve of flesh and souls.

Each Aura Altar, when unleashing its contained might, could easily project a distinctive light screen across the Outer Star River, enveloping a small realm.

The Aura Altars crafted by the Devaputra Race varied in their enigmatic designs, with each one's light screen and power differing from the next.

Yet, nearly all Aura Altars were considered precious treasures by the Devaputra.

The Aura Altar served as a 'Star Fortress' for the Devaputra Race, versatile for both attack and defense. For the Devaputra, possessing an Aura Altar with its infinite mysteries was akin to holding their very lifeblood.

The Yang cultivators and the Great Demons of the Human and Demon Races had endured great hardships due to the Aura Altar in the wars beyond the stars.

Numerous Yang Gods, Unrestrained Stage cultivators, and both Eighth and Ninth Level Great Demons had been consumed by the Aura Altar, transformed into vital energy and refined soul power for the Devaputra's rejuvenation.

Thus, in the grand battles between the Boundless Land and the Outland Devaputra, every effort was made to target the Aura Altars first, seeking their destruction by the Peak experts of the Primordial Spirit and the Tenth Level Great Demons.

Whenever the Great Cultivators of the Human and Demon Races claimed victory, if the Devaputra possessed an Aura Altar, it would be the first thing they sought to obliterate.

The reason was clear to all: the Aura Altar's fearsome potential to amplify the Devaputra's combat prowess was well-known.

In the annals of the Boundless Land, there had never been a tale of an Aura Altar penetrating deep into their world.

Yet now, an Aura Altar lay concealed on an island within the Ember Waters!

It had abruptly sprung to life, splitting in two, hunting the elders and trialists of the various sects both above in the heavens and below in the ocean depths.

How had this artifact arrived?

Anyone with sense would conclude that it was impossible for the Aura Altar to have slipped past the notice of the Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators during the meteor shower, to infiltrate the Boundless Land and enter the Ember Waters.

A Blood Spirit Altar that truly shatters the barrier of the starry sky would undoubtedly resonate with the peak cultivators of the Boundless Land!

The likelihood of it plummeting from the heavens is virtually nil.

Therefore, it must be an island that was already secretly located within the Ember Waters!

After their celestial conquests, the Demon Palace and the Demon Palace seized the Blood Spirit Altar from the Blue Devil Clan, a race they believed they had annihilated. They managed to elude the watchful senses of the three upper sects and even obscured the fates, securing the altar within the Ember Waters.

The actions of the Demon Palace and the Demon Palace have endangered the beings of the Boundless Land, creating a massive hidden danger.

This also breaches the ancient covenant they hold with the three upper sects!

"Senior Brother Fei?" Yan Lu approached and whispered to Fei Yi, "Since the verdict is out, should we drop the argument?"

His concern was that Fei Yi would direct his wrath at Yu Yuan, accusing him of fabricating tales.

"Do you think you've figured it out?" Lau Ying shot Fei Yi a look and huffed, "The demons have sealed their own fate, nearly wiped out beneath the sea. The Devil Palace's cultivators might be in the dark about the truth, but that's no excuse for willful ignorance!"

After a moment of silence, Fei Yi finally said, "First, let's focus on surviving, then we can discuss the rest!"

"Exactly." Yu Yuan nodded, smiling. "As I mentioned, the Tears of Blue Devil aren't down there, so we're in luck. With our current power, we can potentially break through the 'Deep Blue Curtain' created by the Aura Altar. The altar is preoccupied with reaping the bodies of cultivators from across the world and hunting demons; it might not get around to us for some time."

"I've got to admit, this guy really knows his stuff." Du Huang of the Ancient Desolate Sect, having listened to the discussion and pieced together the puzzle, understood what the cosmic item was and where they needed to go. He looked at Yu Yuan with a note of appreciation, "Lau Ying and Yan Lu have been relentless in their search for you, but I think they've been overreacting."

"Now, I owe Lau Ying and Yan Lu an apology."

"You were right."

"Yu Yuan's arrival has enlightened us to the full scope of the situation and informed us on how to navigate our way to safety."

The muscular youth from the Ancient Desolate Sect, his hair woven into numerous small braids, appeared capable of both accepting and acknowledging his errors with grace.

Once it was clear that Yan Lu and Lau Ying were correct, he, who had initially been the most dissatisfied, was also the first to concede his mistake.

Luo Yiyi of the Cloud Water Sect quickly followed with an apology.

Lin Yue and Chi Yin gave a modest bow.

Lau Ying gestured dismissively, indicating that she took no offense, and then spoke with earnest gravity, "Yu Yuan, lead us out of here alive!"
