“The Grand Dao Sect is in such a terrible state.”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others were utterly bewildered. Who was this powerful figure?
The Giant Lizard Demon’s eyes narrowed in confusion. He suddenly recalled reports from other Demon Court Half-step Supremes in the outer starry sky, tales of a strange Green-skirted Girl who’d been snatching opportunities from them. She was said to be unfathomably skilled, vanishing like a ghost after claiming her spoils. The entire outer starry sky was searching for her!
He never imagined she was an ally of the Grand Dao Sect?!
The Green-skirted Girl looked at the Giant Lizard Demon. “You can leave now.”
The Giant Lizard Demon scoffed. “So you’re an ally of the Grand Dao Sect? You’re asking for death…”
Before he could finish, the Green-skirted Girl suddenly extended her delicate, pale right hand. “Dao, come!”
In an instant, the dim starry sky above them churned as if the very cosmos were overturning. The power of the stars converged, coalescing into a shimmering Dao Rhyme, shaped like a sword, that floated before the Green-skirted Girl.
The Giant Lizard Demon was utterly stunned. What were they witnessing? This Green-skirted Girl could actually condense the power of the starry sky! Even One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes here could only contemplate the power of the stars, not wield it!
Then, that wisp of Dao Rhyme vanished, only to reappear instantly, pressing against the Giant Lizard Demon’s colossal head. Though a mere thread compared to the Elder’s massive form, it caused blood to trickle from his skull, his Dao Rhyme rapidly disintegrating.
Her delicate lips parted. “Perish!”
Boom! The Giant Lizard Elder’s body exploded, shattering like a collapsing star. All his Dao patterns fractured, and the Half-step Supreme’s aura was instantly annihilated! It was like a hurricane sweeping through clouds, crushed by an overwhelming, heaven-toppling force. The Giant Lizard Demon tried to rally his power, but it simply wouldn’t manifest. All his strength felt rootless, utterly useless! Every technique, every last resort, was futile! In an instant, the Giant Lizard Demon died on the spot, his body turning to ash, leaving only his Storage Ring floating in the void.
The Green-skirted Girl’s thoughts stirred, and she collected the Storage Ring.
Witnessing this, Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others were petrified. This little girl was too powerful! Who was she?
“Senior, you…” Before Xuan Shang Old Ancestor could finish, the Green-skirted Girl sighed softly. “What a pity about the Grand Dao Sect’s Founder.”
The Old Ancestors fell silent, unsure how to respond. After entering this starry sky, they had learned some truths about the past through the Founder’s lingering methods. It was the secret history between the Grand Dao Sect’s Founder and the Supreme Profound Sect’s Founder, Liu Ruyan. The revelation had shaken them to their core!
The Green-skirted Girl gazed at the distant, utterly dark starry sky. “Dark Shadow Island, Silent Destruction Sect, and the Demon Court are all coming. Your position has been exposed.”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor bowed respectfully to the Green-skirted Girl. “Please, Senior, lend us your aid once more. Our sect will repay you handsomely…”
The Green-skirted Girl waved her small hand. “Lu Xuan is coming soon. I’m leaving.”
“Lu Xuan?” The Old Ancestors froze. If Lu Xuan arrived, wouldn’t he just be walking into a death trap?
The Green-skirted Girl said, “You guys are so silly! Lu Xuan is very strong.” With that, her form blurred, and she vanished from the starry sky.
The Old Ancestors exchanged glances. How strong was Lu Xuan? When they had emerged, the Sect Master and others had told them tales of the White Robe Great Emperor! If even this Senior said Lu Xuan was powerful, then Lu Xuan must still be hiding his true strength! Oh, Lu Xuan, what a truly massive surprise you are!
Meanwhile, in the distant reaches of the starry sky, as Xuan Shang Old Ancestor battled the Giant Lizard Demon, the myriad Dao pattern imprints on his body were fully exposed. Instantly, Half-step Supremes from the Demon Court, Dark Shadow Island, Supreme Profound Sect, and other factions all sensed his location.
“Kill!” In a flash, numerous figures stepped out from their respective continents, converging from all directions. Their Half-step Supreme pressures surged like an abyss or a raging sea. As they traversed the void, they resembled colossal suns burning in the darkness, their momentum heaven-shaking, terrifying the entire outer starry sky. Boom! Boom! Boom! Killing intent billowed forth!
At the World Barrier. Boom! Lu Xuan and Chen Changsheng traversed the void, arriving at the World Barrier.
The World Barrier was incredibly brilliant, manifesting myriad phenomena, constantly shifting its form. Dao patterns transcending Emperor Realm power surged within it, captivating the soul.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng. “Third Disciple, let’s go.” Chen Changsheng nodded. “Alright.”
Boom! Profound power surged, “Dao” and “Rhyme” flowed around Lu Xuan and Chen Changsheng. The next instant, they stepped into the Above Emperor Realm Area.
After a moment of dizziness, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, utterly amazed by the scene before him. The boundless starry sky gazed at Lu Xuan like a cold, impassive face. In the distance, numerous shattered continents floated like isolated islands, shimmering with divine radiance, yet tragically extinguished by a force of rules in the dim void.
After a moment, Lu Xuan murmured, “Is this a true starry sky, or merely an illusion born from Dao pattern rules?”
Chen Changsheng replied, “This place exists between reality and illusion. Some great domains are truly real, while others are derived from Dao pattern power that transcends the Emperor Realm.”
Just then, a woman’s voice echoed in Lu Xuan’s ear. “Lu Xuan! Your sect’s Old Ancestors are about to be beaten to death! And you’re still sightseeing here?”
Lu Xuan recognized the Green-skirted Girl’s voice, clear as a silver bell. “Little Qing, where are they?”
Whoosh! A stream of divine radiance flowed, manifesting before Lu Xuan as a spiritual energy map condensed from Dao patterns. The countless great domains of the outer starry sky were all incredibly dim, but one spot shone like a brilliant sun, radiating dazzling light. That was Xuan Shang Old Ancestor’s location.
“I’m off! I’m going to find Star Core Power!” The Green-skirted Girl’s voice vanished into the void.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng. “Let’s go!”
The two traversed the void, pushing their speed to the extreme, like a divine rainbow streaking across the boundless darkness, divine radiance surging wherever they passed.
As they passed a great domain, Lu Xuan saw an incredibly beautiful female figure. Her three thousand zhang of white hair flowed like a waterfall, like a vast river, each strand surging with brilliant Dao patterns. Her white hair formed her robe, simultaneously obscuring her stunningly beautiful face. Though her features were hidden, her peerless figure radiated brilliant divine light, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
She was within a great domain, searching for a supreme treasure. Soon, her jade palm swept out, brilliant Dao patterns surging, instantly obliterating an Outer World Yin Soldier’s body and extracting a palm-sized, crystalline jade stone. This appeared to be an Outer World Treasure; the shimmering jade stone pulsed in Xuanji Holy Lord’s hand, as if Star Core Power surged within it, Dao Rhyme flowing freely, profoundly mysterious.
Chen Changsheng suddenly said, “That is Xuanji Holy Lord, Baili.” Hearing this, Lu Xuan paused. “So it’s her?”
As if sensing something, Xuanji Holy Lord Baili suddenly stopped, her snow-white neck turning. Her deep, icy eyes, like a cold divine moon, shot towards Lu Xuan.
Their gazes met, a fleeting glance. In an instant, Xuanji Holy Lord withdrew her gaze, her slender jade legs moving with divine grace as she continued to wander through the great domain, leaving only a stunningly beautiful back for Lu Xuan to see.
Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze. Xuanji Holy Lord’s face had been obscured by her white hair; he hadn’t gotten a clear look. Immediately after, Xuanji Holy Lord tore through space and vanished.
“Let’s go!” Lu Xuan said. He continued to traverse the void with Chen Changsheng, heading to find Xuan Shang Old Ancestor!
In the great domain where Xuan Shang Old Ancestor was located. Boom! The void tore open! Heaven and earth trembled! From the spatial rift emerged three Half-step Supremes, all surging with immense demonic power. The leading demon, clad in golden armor, had taken the form of a middle-aged man, coldly looking down upon Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others.
“The bloodline of the Titan Ape!” Xuan Shang Old Ancestor’s face paled slightly. Unlike their own withered vitality, this golden-armored middle-aged man possessed the bloodline of the Titan Ape, a Demon Race Supreme from the previous epoch. His vitality surged like a boundless ocean; standing motionless in the void, he was like a divine furnace burning fiercely.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others immediately began coughing up blood.
The golden-armored middle-aged man’s gaze was icy. He flicked his sleeve, looking at the two grey-robed demons behind him. “Tiger Vanguard, kill them.”
Hearing this, the great tiger demon bowed respectfully to the golden-armored middle-aged man. “At your command!” In an instant, the great tiger demon stepped down from the void, charging towards Xuan Shang Old Ancestor.
Just then, a voice echoed softly through the starry sky. “I’m here!”
The golden-armored middle-aged man frowned, his eyes flashing with divine radiance. He saw a figure in white robes streaking through the starry sky.
