It took quite a while before the shocked Nie Tian calmed himself down.
"Could it be possible that the Star Stone hid the power to break through the level of Heaven-Monarchic and enter into the realm of Almighty?" Nie Tian was murmuring, with amazement still in his face.
Nie Tian, in his previous life, had reached the peak of the ninth level of Heaven-Monarchic. However, he did not possess the power to destroy the Void.
Legend had it that It was a power of the true God to destroy the Void and reverse the heaven.
"The Star Stone seals the power of nine hundred billion stars. I shall awake all of it." Nie Tian become excited upon thinking of that.
The Star Stone had been integrated with himself into the tenth vital vein of his body. Should the power of the nine hundred million stars inside the Star Stone, Nie Tian could be blessed with unprecedented power.
If so, the God of the Dominion would make no match with him, even the alliance of the nine gods of the heaven.
"What am I supposed to do to awaken the power of the stars?" Excited as Nie Tian was, he could do nothing about the tricky problem, almost wearing out his eyes.
He could know it for sure that the spirit grains on the Star Stone contained the power of the nine hundred billion stars. However, the dim grains told an obvious fact that the power was not unsealed.
" 'Nine Layers of Galaxy, Billions of Stars', could it be..."suddenly Nie Tian raised his head and looked at the flashing stars in the sky. There was a bold assumption in his mind.
"Could it be that the stars in the sky are secrets to the awakening of the power of the stars?"
Tian put this idea into immediate action.
He sat cross-legged, sensing the nearest star to himself.
The moment his mind travelled into the Star Stone, the spirit grains of a star brightened itself as if responding to the calling.
"The power of the first star awakens." The sound was heard throughout his mind which surprised Nie Tian. He soon kept his mind stable.
"Boom." As the star awakened itself, the violent power was burning like a fire inside the arteries and veins.
"Ah!" For a moment, Nie Tian felt that he was almost burnt. An intense burning sensation ran through his body, making him utter a cry subconsciously.
The power of the star pounded the navel and the sea of Qi, like a wild beast.
The next moment, it clashed against the damaged veins, with even greater agony.
"Dame good," roared Nie Tian with an exaggerated expression.
He could feel it vaguely that his body was undergoing somewhat change, like a cocoon that is about to turn butterfly and a phoenix that is about to rise from fire.
"What astounding power!"Nie Tian was sweated by the perception that the nine damaged vital veins within himself were recovering at a visible speed.
Meanwhile, the tenth vital vein evolved from the Star Stone was much stronger, with power surging overwhelmingly.
Little by little, the power of the star became so violent that his navel was about to be torn apart. The body was experiencing intense pains.
"Hang in there. I have to pull it through." Even in the critical moment, Nie Tian gritted his teeth and fought with his powerful will against the agony. Never did he give in even when the sweats wet his body.
Trace after trace of the power of the star came out from within and formed a vague halo around Nie Tian.
It was the first time he had incorporated the power of the star, which must be an anguishing process.
Before long, Nie Tian felt that the power of the star inside his body became softer. It was like spring rain dripping slowly and nurturing the arteries and veins, steady and gentle.
After another while, Nie Tian was able to completely control the power of the star. There was finally a smile in the handsome face.
He scanned his body, only to find that the nine damaged vital veins should recover themselves with the soothing power of the star.
The nine vital veins had no damage apparent, and even the most serious fractured vein were restored.
More critically, the nine vital veins of Nie Tian seemed to be flashing with the star light. Dim and partly invisible as it was, it existed after all.
"The power of the star is so amazing that even a star could recover nine damaged vital veins." Nie Tian went into raptures and murmured himself.
"With Power of Stars, Rein over Eternity." It seemed that the mysterious voice was right. If the power of the nine hundred billion stars awaken, he should rein over eternity then.
Nie Tian finally understood what these words meant. To be an unprecedented, unparalleled and unstoppable man, one definitely had to awaken the power of the nine billion stars.
The power of the first star being awakened, Nie Tian soon calmed himself down and tried to perceive the second star.
To his disappointment, he did not feel the connection with the power of the star.
"Well, I guess I've pushed it far. My strength's not enough to stimulate the awakening of the power of the star. Anyway, the Star Stone becomes a part of me. Why rush? I got plenty of time to awaken the power of the stars." Nie Tian stood up, feeling no despair but joys.
He achieved the ninth level of Heaven-Monarchic in his previous life. And he knew it only too well that impatience was the biggest enemy in the course of Kung Fu.
More haste, less speed. The fret would affect the pureness of the heart to pursue Kung Fu.
It was only with the pure heart to pursue Kung Fu could one ascend to the top.
Nie Tian came out of the Boundary of Galaxy in a good fettle. His imposing manner was as sharp as a sword unsheathed.
He made another observation on the tenth vital vein. There was a dot flashing. And it was the very first star that had awakened.
That said, Nie Tian had a feeling that the power of it was even more intimidating than the sum of the other nine vital veins.
"Now that the vital veins are restored, I have regained my strength, which is good." Nie Tian scanned the nine vital veins inside the navel, with a confident smile.
Although the nine vital veins had been awakened long before, they were badly damaged and barely amounted to the cultivation of a third-level Kung Fu learner for Vital Veins. He could only get ass kicked in confrontation with Ba Ziyang who had a cultivation of ninth level of Vital Veins.
Things were different now. If he meet Ba Ziyang, that would end up with two words, "Cry Uncle."
But the next moment, Nie Tian frowned a little, speaking to himself, "The damaged vital veins have been restored. But the toxic inside the veins were not removed."
"Nie Santong, you are one of the Nie's family and my uncle. It was malicious of you to poison me for the position of the family master." There was coldness in Nie Tian's face upon the thought of the person who poisoned him.
Nie Tian was the family head as well as the niece of Nie Santong. His viciousness was evidenced by the fact that Nie Santong poisoned him by taking advantage of Nie Tian's bad injury.
Nie Tian would not spare Nie Santong, but now the best time to take the move had yet to come.
"Nie Santong, today is wrong day to die for you skank,"murmured Nie Tian with a menacing smile.
