1226 A Waste of Talents

As Tian Yi approached the Eater of Stars, he could feel its immense and uncontrolled pressure trying to keep him away.

The pressure was tyrannical— strong enough to crush Immortals and shatter stars.

However, even that was not enough to keep Tian Yi away.

Covered in a sharp aura that seemed to slice apart even the void itself, Tian Yi continued to slowly close their distance.

'It doesn't make any noises even as it consumes the stars… almost as if there is a black hole inside its mouth that silently swallows everything. How interesting!' A smile appeared on Tian Yi's face, and it grew wider as he inspected the Eater of Stars with great interest.

The Eater of Stars was as long and ma.s.sive as Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou in her dragon form, and it was covered in smooth white scales from head to tail, making her appearance very distinctive within the void.

Her white scales shone profoundly, like pearls under light, and even the void that naturally consumes light cannot seem to drown out its brilliance.

Her head was round and cute, resembling that of a snake, and on it were two large void-like eyes that did not have the slightest glow within, almost like the eyes of the dead, yet she was very much alive.

Slight above her eyes and at the center of her smooth forehead was a distinctive red symbol, its significance yet to be known.

When Tian Yi looked into her dead eyes, he could only see anguish and frustration. It was so clear to him that it was as though the Eater of Stars was personally speaking to him.

Once he was close enough to the Eater of Stars, Tian Yi took a deep breath before speaking in a loud voice, "Eater of Stars! Can I have a moment of your time?!"

Spiritual energy carried his voice throughout the starry sky, allowing it to spread within the void and reach the Eater of Stars.

However, the Eater of Stars did not have the slightest reaction, almost as though it couldn't hear him.

Tian Yi took another deep breath and called for her again, "Eater of Stars! I can tell that you're in pain! Is there anything that I can do to help?!"

The Eater of Stars suddenly trembled, and she began to come to a slow halt for the first time in countless years.

It turned to look at him and spoke through divine sense, 'Pain… Don't speak as though you know anything, human!'

The Eater of Stars opened her mouth and began moving toward Tian Yi with the intention of consuming him.

"You're right. I don't know anything. However, I want to know! I want to understand you! Can you tell me what is bothering you?" Tian Yi calmly stood there as the Eater of Stars moved closer at a rapid rate.

"Even if you knew, there's nothing you or anyone in this universe could do about it. Now, disappear!"

As the Eater of Stars tried to swallow him, a profound light flickered within Tian Yi's gaze, and his body emitted a divine aura.

When the Eater of Stars sensed his divine aura, she instinctively turned away from Tian Yi, avoiding him.

"You're annoying! Die already!"

Although the Eater of Stars decided to not consume him, she still wanted to kill him for disturbing her.

As she opened her mouth again, Tian Yi could see a white glow deep inside her mouth that grew at a rapid rate.

Before he knew it, he was engulfed by white flames that quickly tore away his spiritual energy.

'This flame… it's not burning my spiritual energy, but consuming it and using it to grow stronger?' Tian Yi was astonished by the white flames' unique properties.

"Scatter!" With a flick of his sleeves, all of the white flames around him blew away, but they continued to burn in the void.

"I'm guessing you're the type that only listens after a fight, almost like someone else that I know." Despite being attacked twice already, Tian Yi was not angry in the slightest.

"It's been a while since I stretched my limbs, too. Let's enjoy this for a while, shall we?"

Thus, Tian Yi and the Eater of Stars began their battle.

The Eater of Stars would throw all sorts of flame techniques at Tian Yi, quickly filling the void with her seemingly eternal flames that refused to die out even many years later, hovering in the void like orbs of light. From a distance, her white flames may even appear as stars.

"Che…" Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou suddenly sucked her teeth when she saw Tian Yi fighting the Eater of Stars, seemingly bothered by something.

Feng Yuming noticed this and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"He's grown so much stronger since our last fight, yet he's barely cultivated in the past thousand years. How is that possible? Where does his power come from?"

Feng Yuming raised an eyebrow and said, "While it's true that he's barely cultivated during our search for the Eater of Stars, I cannot say anything about his growth since I never fought him before."

Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou suddenly s.h.i.+vered from excitement, and a wide smile appeared on her face unknowingly.

"If he's this strong after a thousand years without cultivation, can you imagine what he could achieve if he focused on cultivation for a thousand years?" Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou mumbled in a dazed voice.

"If he's truly as talented as you are saying, he's definitely wasting his talents chasing after Divine Beasts…" Feng Yuming said.

"Indeed, what a waste of talents…"

Feng Yuming then said, "Also, I don't know if you noticed this, but he seems to have a fascination with beasts— perhaps even an obsession."

"I noticed. He's always trying to learn more about dragons during our travels. I think he's just genuinely curious about beasts in general. There are probably countless humans who are constantly wondering about us, but they don't have the courage or strength to approach us, unlike this weirdo." Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou said with a slight smile on her face.

"You really do like him, don't you?" Feng Yuming chuckled with a smirk.

"Shut your beak, dumb pigeon." Dragon G.o.ddess Yeyou glared at her.

"You should keep your eyes on him. It'd be a pity if he dies to the Eater of Stars, after all." Feng Yuming sneered.
