Chapter 167 Starry Sky Maze

As more and more colossal beasts of the starry sky gathered, conflicts erupted with increasing frequency.

These beasts not only fought amongst themselves but also attacked surrounding beast tamers and other extraordinary beings.

Zheng Dong instructed Xiao Zi to use its Amplification skill, shrinking its body and following behind the Starry Sky Corpse Bird.

The Starry Sky Corpse Bird had reached the Quasi-Divine level, and ordinary colossal beasts dared not provoke it.

Thus, they avoided quite a bit of trouble.

Before long, they arrived at a special starfield.

Here, starlight shone brilliantly, blinding the eyes.

Moreover, it was vast. After numerous colossal beasts entered this starfield, they quickly dispersed, losing their direction.

If not for Xiao Zi closely following the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, they would have likely lost sight of it very quickly.

Zheng Dong frowned slightly.

He used the Super-tier skill, Super Perception, to sense the surroundings.

Unfortunately, besides sensing that everything was the same, he detected no anomalies.

The surrounding planets, meteoroids, and nebulae all seemed identical. From any angle, there was no discernible difference.

Xiao Zi, following the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, had been moving for half an hour and seemed to be treading water, with nothing changing?

The Starry Sky Corpse Bird was also dumbfounded.

At its speed, it should have long since passed through this starfield.

Could it have entered a Starry Sky Maze?

Legend had it that the Star God Realm possessed a Starry Sky Maze.

Once one entered the Starry Sky Maze, they could never leave, and upon death, they would become puppets of the maze.

Seeing that they couldn't find an exit anytime soon, Zheng Dong had the Starry Sky Corpse Bird stop.

Wandering aimlessly would only waste energy.

It was better to wait in place and see if other colossal beasts would follow.

However, after waiting for a long time, no other colossal beasts appeared.

At this moment, the other colossal beasts, as well as Taylor Peter and the others, were experiencing the same situation as Zheng Dong.

It was as if they were caught in a loop, going in circles, with the surroundings remaining the same no matter how they moved.

Taylor Peter's expression turned grim. He gritted his teeth, refusing to believe it, and unleashed his Quasi-Divine level speed, moving at light speed.

Unfortunately, even transforming into light, he could not break out of this starfield.

When he stopped, he was still in the same place.

Furthermore, light-speed movement consumed a great deal of energy, and he could not maintain it for long, only able to unleash it once or twice at most.

On the other side, Caesar, the Grand Elder of the Caesar Empire, a man of imposing stature, also had his unicorn unleash Lightning Shuttle.

The outcome was the same as Taylor Peter's. The unicorn was exhausted, but they still couldn't leave the starfield.

What should they do?

Everyone's minds were in a muddle, unsure of what to do next.

Zheng Dong was no exception; he couldn't think of a solution for the moment.

He was unfamiliar with the starry sky.

Walking out of the Starry Sky Maze was even more difficult for him.

Therefore, after some thought, he decided to hand over the initiative to Xiao Zi.

Although Xiao Zi was also visiting the starry sky for the first time, as a Star Devourer, this place was like a fish entering a river for it, possessing an innate sense of a dragon returning to the sea.

Xiao Zi glanced around. As a glutton, it wasn't thinking about how to leave but was fixated on a meteoroid not far away.

Would it be okay to devour this meteoroid?

Xiao Zi glanced back at Zheng Dong behind it with longing eyes, then used its Quasi-Divine level skill, Gravity Manipulation.

Under the effect of Gravity Manipulation, the meteoroid actively flew towards Xiao Zi.

Then, Xiao Zi used Infinite Devour, swallowing it into its belly.

Seeing this, Zheng Dong couldn't help but laugh.

"You glutton, if you have the ability, eat all these meteoroids and planets around us!"

Xiao Zi's spirits immediately lifted, and it used Gravity Manipulation again.

Soon, more meteoroids flew towards it.

It used Infinite Devour, swallowing them one by one.

After devouring these meteoroids, Xiao Zi's strength also improved significantly, bringing it closer to the Quasi-Divine level.

Zheng Dong discovered that the surrounding meteoroids and planets were initially difficult to approach.

No matter how fast you flew, you always remained in place, maintaining a fixed distance from the surrounding meteoroids and planets.

However, under Xiao Zi's Gravity Manipulation, these meteoroids and planets could actively move towards Xiao Zi and be completely devoured by Infinite Devour.

This might be the way to break the deadlock and escape the Starry Sky Maze.

Thus, Zheng Dong no longer paid attention to Xiao Zi, letting it devour freely.

As the surrounding meteoroids were devoured, they were followed by planets, which fell into Xiao Zi's belly.

After more than a month of devouring, Xiao Zi's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Quasi-Divine level.

As a result, Xiao Zi's size became even more enormous, tens of times larger than the Blue Star before.

This was much larger than the Starry Sky Corpse Bird.

Xiao Zi was also very excited. It had finally caught up to Ling'er and surpassed Youyou.

In Zheng Dong's pet team, it ranked second.

As long as it continued to devour, it would eventually surpass Ling'er and reach first place.

Xiao Zi excitedly scanned its surroundings.

Only then did it discover that all the meteoroids and planets around it were gone.

Zheng Dong had Xiao Zi attempt to leave this starfield.

However, after flying for half a day, they were still going in circles.

This left them somewhat helpless.

They didn't know where to start.

The meteoroids and planets had all disappeared, leaving only empty space.

Zheng Dong's eyes darted as he pondered again.

He quickly noticed that he couldn't see any other colossal beasts or Taylor Peter and the others around.

This meant that they might be in different dimensional spaces, completely separated.

These dimensional spaces might be stacked within this starfield like a honeycomb.

To leave, one either had to find a passage or break through the dimensional spaces.

Therefore, Zheng Dong decided to try, joining forces with Xiao Zi and the Starry Sky Corpse Bird to see if they could forcibly break through the dimensional space barrier.

Zheng Dong gathered his strength, and phantoms of Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Candle Dragon, Prison Suppressing Divine Elephant, and others appeared behind him one after another.

He condensed his bloodline power to its absolute limit, unleashed it completely, and punched towards the void.

Instantly, the void before them shattered like a mirror.

Xiao Zi also unleashed its ultimate skill, Void Tear, a combination of Starry Sky Black Hole, Space Cutter, and Mountain Collapse Earth Shatter.

The Starry Sky Corpse Bird also dared not slack off, unleashing its strongest attack.

Under the destructive power of the three mighty forces, the void before them completely shattered, revealing an extremely unstable spatial passage.

Zheng Dong, with Xiao Zi, used Spatial Teleportation to traverse the spatial passage, and a new starfield appeared before them.

It was identical to the starfield they had been in before.

However, in this starfield, there was a Quasi-Divine level Starry Sky Blazing Tiger.

This Starry Sky Blazing Tiger had clearly been trapped here for a long time, having tried various methods to no avail.

Upon seeing Zheng Dong and Xiao Zi, it was even more surprised.

But then, it launched an attack.

The Starry Sky Blazing Tiger had a violent temper and had been hungry for days. Seeing Zheng Dong and Xiao Zi was like seeing food delivered to its doorstep.

Unfortunately, its strength was similar to that of the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, posing no threat to Zheng Dong.

Zheng Dong let Xiao Zi handle it alone, and he turned to look at the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, which was drilling its way towards them.

The Starry Sky Corpse Bird did not use Starry Sky Movement; the fool actually chose to drill directly into the unstable spatial passage.

Instantly, it was injured by the collapsing forces within the spatial passage.

When it emerged, its body was already bloody and mangled, appearing quite disheveled.

However, this did not harm the Starry Sky Corpse Bird's core or pose a life-threatening danger to it.

Seeing Xiao Zi battling the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger, it asked Zheng Dong if it needed to intervene.

Upon receiving a negative answer, it began licking its wounds in place.

Although it was a bird, its tongue was very long.

When it ate the Starry Sky Desolate Wolf before, it had directly coiled its tongue around it.

Now, to lick its wounds, it only needed to extend its long tongue.

Zheng Dong did not pay much attention to the Starry Sky Corpse Bird.

He was observing and sensing the surroundings.

If this starfield was the same as the one they were in before, would they have to break through the void and continue on?

The Starry Sky Maze had clearly also prevented forceful destruction, with one layer leading to another.

The starfield they were currently in was like a cell in a honeycomb. Breaking through this cell and entering the next would still be the same.

Finding a way out was extremely difficult.

However, at the moment, there was no better solution.

Zheng Dong frowned.

At this moment, Xiao Zi's battle with the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger was nearing its end.

The colossal Xiao Zi violently charged towards the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger.

The Starry Sky Blazing Tiger's size was only slightly larger than the Starry Sky Desolate Wolf.

Xiao Zi was like an elephant in front of it.

Facing Xiao Zi's charge, the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger could only dodge.

But Xiao Zi also unleashed the Starry Sky Black Hole.

A massive black hole appeared behind the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger.

The Starry Sky Blazing Tiger lost control of its body and was about to be sucked into the Starry Sky Black Hole.

This forced it to focus all its efforts on dodging the Starry Sky Black Hole, unable to deal with Xiao Zi's charge.

After it managed to stabilize its body, it saw Xiao Zi's colossal form charging towards it, revealing a look of despair.

At this moment, Zheng Dong used Spatial Teleportation to appear behind it.

Before it could react, he used the Chalice of Faith.

Under the effect of the Chalice of Faith, the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger was quickly controlled.

Although the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger was not strong, it was good to use as cannon fodder.

It could even be sent into dangerous places to scout.

After capturing the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger, Zheng Dong had Xiao Zi devour the surrounding meteoroids and planets.

Xiao Zi was quite happy to complete this task.

Now at the Quasi-Divine level, Xiao Zi directly unleashed Gravity Manipulation, and meteoroids flew towards it one after another.

It used Infinite Devour, swallowing them one by one.

Compared to before, the speed was nearly ten times faster.

After devouring the surrounding meteoroids and planets, Xiao Zi's size increased again, appearing even more colossal.

Xiao Zi's strength continued to grow, but it had not yet condensed a divine spark embryo.

Next, Zheng Dong was unwilling to wait for death.

He continued to have Xiao Zi, the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, and the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger work together to shatter this void and enter the next starfield.

Once again, after passing through an extremely unstable void passage, they arrived at a starfield.

Everything here was the same as before, exactly as Zheng Dong had predicted.

However, this time, the entity in this starfield was a Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider.

The Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider was also colossal and often preyed on other colossal beasts.

It would inject venom into the bodies of other colossal beasts.

After melting their internal muscle tissues into liquid, it would then slowly suck them out.

However, during this entire process, most colossal beasts did not die immediately.

Only after their internal organs were completely sucked dry would they fall.

Therefore, many colossal beasts were unwilling to encounter the Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider.

This Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider was very powerful, far exceeding the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger and the Starry Sky Corpse Bird.

This time, Zheng Dong did not let Xiao Zi act alone.

To save time, Zheng Dong ordered them to attack together and capture the Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider.

Facing the attacks of Zheng Dong, Xiao Zi, the Starry Sky Blazing Tiger, and the Starry Sky Corpse Bird, the Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider, no matter how strong, could not withstand it.

It was soon controlled by Zheng Dong using the Chalice of Faith.

Afterward, Xiao Zi devoured this starfield and gradually felt the impending condensation of a divine spark embryo.

Zheng Dong decided to strike while the iron was hot and enter the next starfield.

With the addition of the Starry Sky Nine-Colored Ghost Spider, the speed of shattering this void was even faster.

Following this pattern, they used this crude method to find a passage out of the Starry Sky Maze.

The method was a bit crude, but Xiao Zi gained considerable benefits from it. It devoured one starfield after another, condensed a divine spark embryo, and its strength was gradually catching up to Ling'er.

The number of colossal beasts controlled by Zheng Dong also reached fifteen.

With these colossal beasts working together, Zheng Dong could be lazy and let them shatter the void and break through the spatial barriers.

After passing through another void passage, Zheng Dong found that the starfield before him had changed.

Here, many planets had been shattered. The Empress of the Emperor Water Jellyfish, leading a group of Emperor Water Jellyfish, was battling a group of Starry Sky Maze puppets.

These puppets had no consciousness, and most of them were transformed from the corpses of colossal beasts.

There were also a small number of corpses from other extraordinary beings, but no beast tamers. Perhaps the beast tamers' bodies were too weak, not worth transforming into puppets, or perhaps no beast tamers had ever come to the Starry Sky Maze before.

The Empress of the Emperor Water Jellyfish looked exhausted, as if she had been fighting for a long time.

Her eighteen Quasi-Divine level Emperor Water Jellyfish subordinates were also injured.

Some had even suffered severe injuries, endangering their lives.

Zheng Dong did not know how the Empress of the Emperor Water Jellyfish found her subordinates or how she arrived here.

He did not understand the Emperor Water Jellyfish and always felt that the other party was mysterious.

Therefore, he did not want to provoke the Empress of the Emperor Water Jellyfish.

The Empress of the Emperor Water Jellyfish also noticed Zheng Dong.

She did not rashly attack Zheng Dong.

After all, the dozen or so colossal beasts behind Zheng Dong were not to be trifled with.

Moreover, the surrounding puppets made it impossible for her to free her hands.

These puppets seemed endless; as soon as one batch was eliminated, another would appear.

As Zheng Dong arrived in this starfield, more puppets appeared immediately.

These puppets were fearless and swarmed towards Zheng Dong and the colossal beasts behind him.

Seeing the dense swarm of puppets, Zheng Dong frowned.

If he were killed by these puppets, he would likely be transformed into one of them.

He did not want to waste time on these puppets.

Because he had no idea how many more puppets awaited him.

Ultimately, he might be exhausted to death here.

Therefore, upon seeing more and more puppets appearing, Zheng Dong's first reaction was to shatter the void as quickly as possible and leave this starfield.

Fortunately, with the concerted effort of over a dozen colossal beasts, the spatial barrier was quickly shattered. Zheng Dong directly used Spatial Teleportation and arrived at the next starfield.

The environment of this starfield finally changed. It looked larger than the previous starfield, and the spatial barrier was more stable.

This meant that breaking through the spatial barrier would be more difficult.
