The newcomers failed to find any trace of Yao Yue. He had just teleported away.
The newcomers looked at the mess around them and then at the excavated area. They could still sense the dissipating power of the divine vein. They could not help but cry out in alarm.
"Looks like we're too late. The battle is already over. Looks like there are still divine veins and saint veins here. That person has already disappeared."
"That voice earlier said that Kyusei Shinzō's successor has appeared. Is that true?
If that's the case, it'll shake the entire starfield! "
"That's right. Kyusei Shinzō had once unified the entire Earthly Star Realm. If Kyusei Shinzō's successor appears, he'll be able to command many powers to follow him."
"You can't say that. Vulcan and Kagami No have been independent for so many years, yet they have never joined forces. Kyusei Shinzō is already a thing of the past."
"That's right. We don't even know if that person is real."
…
After leaving the forest, Yao Yue did not continue fighting the beasts. He kept a low profile and began searching for the path to the third stage.
He had broken through to the Great Sage realm, and his battle prowess had reached the peak of the Sage realm. He was now capable of fighting demigods. Even if he encountered the Sword Freak again, he would be able to fight him head-on.
The forest was extremely vast, and there were many rare treasures in it. Yao Yue had also found some treasures while hiding in the forest.
In this kind of Path of Divinity, each level had extraordinary things that were enough for Saints to upgrade. Even Demigods could upgrade. As for Celestial Gods, they would have to pass through higher levels to find divine items that could help them upgrade.
A few days later, Yao Yue finally found the Godshift Formation that led to the third stage.
It turned out that the Godshift Formation had appeared in the middle of the forest. Moreover, it was guarded by a large number of beasts. Some of them were half-beasts. In other words, if one wanted to pass through this stage, one would have to pass through the beasts and enter the Godshift Formation.
Surrounded by so many ferocious beasts, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an ordinary Saint to pass through!
Only those forces with a large number of people would be able to fight their way out, or if they had the help of Demigods or Heavenly Gods, then there wouldn't be any problems!
Right now, there were many forces fighting with the ferocious beasts here. The sounds of battle could be heard everywhere!
Many Sages had fallen, and many Ferocious Beasts had also lost their lives!
This was the path to becoming a god, but it was also a path of death. The slightest carelessness would cause one to become a dead soul underground!
Yao Yue didn't want to stay here any longer. While the others were fighting the beasts, he teleported to the Divine Shift Formation. Even if the other beasts noticed him, they wouldn't be able to stop him!
Just like that, Yao Yue reached the third stage!
The third stage was different from the previous two stages. This place was actually a Dead World Star. There was not the slightest bit of life force here. There was not the slightest bit of World Origin Energy. Everything was desolate!
Yao Yue walked around the Dead World Star for several days, but he didn't see anyone, let alone find the location of the Divine Shift Formation.
Even so, he was puzzled. He muttered to himself, "What the hell is this place? There's nothing here. How strange!"
Yao Yue didn't continue walking. Instead, he found a random spot and sat down cross-legged to think about what he should do next!
After pondering for a while, he concluded that since there was nothing on the Dead World Star, the Divine Shift Formation must be hidden somewhere.
As for this location, it might be a test of one's intelligence. If one couldn't find the way to the next stage, they might be stuck here forever or be forced to return to the second stage.
Yao Yue tried all sorts of methods to search, but he still didn't find anything!
Finally, he discovered a strange phenomenon. Whenever the sun and moon alternated, the sun and moon would appear at the same time. It wasn't like when the sun disappeared and the moon reappeared!
After discovering this, Yao Yue carefully observed and finally found the location of the third stage!
It was in the middle of the sun and moon's intersection. Moreover, the Divine Shift Formation would only be activated at that time. It wouldn't be activated at any other time!
"This is so easy to find!" Yao Yue said excitedly and rushed in a certain direction.
However, when he went in that direction, he found that he couldn't find the end no matter how hard he tried!
However, Yao Yue didn't give up. He continued forward. He was sure that he wouldn't find the wrong place!
Along the way, he finally found a few people. Some of them had found the right place, while others were still looking around aimlessly.
Yao Yue didn't want to get into a conflict with others. However, there were still some people who saw Yao Yue traveling alone and had evil thoughts about Yao Yue!
Unfortunately, these people had all chosen the wrong person, and they were all killed by Yao Yue!
Perhaps this was what they meant by trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it!
After more than a month of hurrying, Yao Yue finally arrived at the place where the sun and the moon converged!
Normally, he couldn't see the position of the Divine Shift Formation. Only when the sun and moon alternated would it appear under the illumination of the sun and moon!
Yao Yue couldn't help but admire the Divine Shift Formation. This Divine Shift Formation was truly a work of art. It was simply too incredible!
At this point, Yao Yue wasn't in a hurry to leave. He wanted to properly understand how this Divine Shift Formation was set up!
He wanted to improve his Divine Shift Formation Dao. This would be very beneficial for him in the future!
Just as he was calming down to comprehend the Divine Shift Formation, he suddenly discovered that there was a strange movement nearby!
Yao Yue focused his gaze and saw two tall figures appear out of thin air!
These two figures didn't have any life force fluctuations. It was as if they were two wills!
One was a man and the other was a woman. The man was heroic and dignified, while the woman was beautiful and charming. On their foreheads, there were battle marks in the shape of the sun and the moon!
"Only by defeating the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress can you enter the fourth stage!" A strange voice faintly echoed in Yao Yue's ears.
"The Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress!" Yao Yue said in astonishment.
This Divine Shift Formation was at the intersection of the sun and the moon. The two figures that appeared out of thin air were called the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress. It seemed like all of this had been planned long ago!
Yao Yue couldn't help but admire the ancient person who set up this stage. He was really too interesting!
Today, the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress didn't take the initiative to attack Yao Yue. It seemed like they were waiting for Yao Yue to cross the Divine Shift Formation before attacking!
"Don't be anxious. I don't want to enter the fourth stage yet. Let me stay here for a while first!" Yao Yue said to the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress.
It was unknown if the two figures had consciousness. When Yao Yue's voice fell, they quietly disappeared!
'How did they do it? Could they be divine consciousness clones?' Yao Yue suspected in his heart.
He didn't continue to dwell on this question. Instead, he found a place not far away and sat down.
He first looked at the Divine Array that he had obtained from the god-tier spirit. He had part of the spirit's memories and the foundation of a Heavenly Master. As long as he comprehended the array more, he would definitely be able to master it!
There was no life here, and no one would come to disturb him for the time being. He also didn't set up any defensive array or conceal himself!
Just like that, he quietly cultivated the Divine Map that he had obtained and some of the Primordial Spirit Seeking and Pulse Fixing Techniques left behind by the God Tier Master.
Previously, he had also looked at it, but he didn't put much effort into it. However, it was different this time. He wholeheartedly immersed himself in it and understood more about the Primordial Spirit Seeking and Array Setting Techniques.
Yao Yue already had a solid foundation. Like a sponge, he continuously absorbed the Primordial Spirit Seeking and Array Setting Techniques left behind by the God Tier Master.
Many things that he didn't understand in the past suddenly became clear to him. There were also many things that he had never seen before that also broadened his horizons!
As the days passed, Yao Yue also practiced carving the Divine Array from time to time. He realized that the energy consumed was simply too great!
With his current ability, it was barely possible for him to set up an incomplete Divine Array. Unless he activated the nine-star battle runes, perhaps he could make it even more perfect!
During these days, Yao Yue finally discovered that there were people who had arrived in front of the Divine Shift Array!
These people wanted to enter the Divine Shift Array, but the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress appeared!
Yao Yue finally witnessed the strength of the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress. They already had the battle prowess of a Demigod. It wasn't easy to get past them!
They didn't show any mercy. If a Saint didn't have anything to rely on, only death awaited them!
Fortunately, no matter how many people came, only the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress would appear at the same time. There wouldn't be any other divine senses. This gave the others more chances to survive and pass the Divine Shift Array!
In this way, the people who arrived could work together to deal with the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress. They could use different trump cards to pass the Divine Shift Array!
Of course, if the Demigods were here, they wouldn't have to fight so hard. As long as they could break through the defense line of the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress, they would be able to enter the fourth Divine Shift Array!
Yao Yue watched as the Demigods worked together to eliminate the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress. Then, they obtained two materials — the Sun Stone and the Moon Essence Stone!
These two were divine materials that could be used to forge divine weapons. They could also be used to gather the power of the sun or the moon to temper one's physique and strength!
However, the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress seemed to be able to regenerate at any time. As long as a new batch of people appeared, they would appear again!
Yao Yue was completely sure that this was really the power of the Sun Thearch and the Moon Empress' divine senses. It wasn't a real person guarding the Divine Shift Array!
'Luckily, I've reached the battle prowess of two Saints. Otherwise, I would have to rely on teleportation to break through their defense line!' Yao Yue thought to himself.
He planned to enter the fourth Divine Shift Array and defeat the Sun Thearch and the Moon Essence Stone fair and square to get his hands on the Sun Stone and the Moon Essence Stone!
Yao Yue stayed here for three months and finally comprehended some clues about the Divine Shift Array!
This array was set up according to the time difference between the sun and the moon. It involved many aspects that were very demanding. It definitely wasn't something an ordinary God Tier Master could do!
