Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1226

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 massive as Dragon Goddess 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.
