Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fourth Star Ring was shattering, terrifying Starry Sky Power pouring out like an ocean, spreading in all directions, transforming into endless starlight. It was magnificent, like dust caught in fireworks. The various Dao Patterns contained within the Star Ring were also annihilating, beginning to perish.
Everyone's blood ran cold! General Pei Yuan of the Tianchen Empire from the Third Star Ring had been instantly killed by the White Robe Star Venerate, but that wasn't the main point! The main point was that the Fourth Star Ring had shattered! A tidal wave of shock crashed through everyone's minds!
Ever since Ju Shou of the First Star Ring proposed the concept of Star Rings, the Star River Alliance gathered many Ancient Ancestors to establish the four Star Rings, dividing the Fallen Star Sea into distinct tiers. The Fourth Star Ring had stood in this starry sky, never having a problem. It had endured for eons! No one imagined the Fourth Star Ring would actually shatter!
Because the Fourth Star Ring represented Ancient Ancestors! Who would dare to act against the Fourth Star Ring? That would be disrespecting Ancient Ancestors! The wrath of an Ancient Ancestor didn't just mean the annihilation of a clan; it could bathe billions of miles of the starry sky in blood! Who would dare to violate the might of an Ancient Ancestor! Yet now, the White Robe Star Venerate had actually shattered the Fourth Star Ring!
Yan Liangchou, the Holy Lord of Cloudrise Holy Land, suddenly collapsed in the starry sky, his body trembling uncontrollably. “It’s over, everything’s over.” This time, Cloudrise Holy Land was truly doomed! Even if the White Robe Star Venerate died, the Tianchen Empire would still destroy them!
Everyone looked at the Fourth Star Ring, the vast and boundless Fourth Star Ring that enveloped endless starry sky, now beginning to disintegrate, because the ‘Dao’ and ‘Stance’ it contained had been broken by Lu Xuan. Seeing this, Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen felt no surprise at all. No need for astonishment! This was just Master’s usual routine! If Master wished, even the First Star Ring could be shattered with a casual flick of his hand! They continued their rampage, cutting down foes.
Meanwhile, the Tianchen Army was stunned into silence. Utterly shaken! What the hell! Was this White Robe Star Venerate crazy? How dare he touch something belonging to an Ancient Ancestor!
At this moment, Lu Xuan said indifferently, “Is this Fourth Star Ring really so fragile?”
Everyone was speechless. They truly had nothing to say. Even heaven and earth were silent!
Suddenly, a Grey-robed Old Woman from the Fox Clan looked at Ah Li with a solemn expression. “Not good! The White Robe Star Venerate is bringing trouble upon us.” Ah Li frowned slightly. The Grey-robed Old Woman’s face turned incredibly pale. “We must quickly sever all ties with this White Robe Star Venerate. Now that he has shattered the Fourth Star Ring, he will certainly attract the scrutiny of Ancient Ancestors!”
Hearing this, the expressions of many Supreme Fox Clan experts turned extremely grim. Originally, this White Robe Star Venerate had helped their Supreme Fox Clan by drawing a lot of fire, and they thought he was quite good. Moreover, the outside world had always believed the White Robe Star Venerate was a member of their Supreme Fox Clan! But now, this White Robe Star Venerate had caused a huge disaster! Even Ancient Ancestor-level Forces might send people to investigate! Their Supreme Fox Clan dared not contend against these Ancient Ancestor-level Forces! Their Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae was still alive or dead, having not appeared for countless eons.
A moment of silence. Ah Li shook her head and said, “I, on the other hand, don’t think we should abandon the White Robe Star Venerate. What’s more, if an Ancient Ancestor truly descends, can we really clear our names?” All the Fox Clan members’ expressions froze. By the heavens! Is this White Robe Star Venerate doing this on purpose?
Ah Li suddenly said, “I actually admire the White Robe Star Venerate! He did what no one else dared to do!” The Fox Clan experts were speechless. The Grey-robed Old Woman said, “Ah Li, you’re right, but we should still try our best to distance ourselves from this White Robe Star Venerate.” Ah Li: “…”
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan stood tall in the starry sky, an unbothered expression on his face as he watched the Fourth Star Ring shatter. He looked at Ji Fuyao and the others, “Fuyao, Baili, don’t you think this scenery is beautiful?” Ji Fuyao tilted her graceful neck slightly, while Baili’s divine radiance flowed. They spoke almost in unison, “Beautiful!” At these words, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. At a time like this, the White Robe Star Venerate was still so calm? What if an Ancient Ancestor truly descended in a moment? How would he cope?
Boom! Boom! Boom! As the Fourth Star Ring continued to shatter, it quickly alarmed the Tianchen Empire. Tianchen Emperor Lian Qianli looked in the direction of Cloudrise Holy Land with a face full of shock, his voice trembling, “What’s happening? The Fourth Star Ring shattered? How is this possible?” Next, the forces of the Second Star Ring were also shocked. “What? Who is so audacious as to shatter the Fourth Star Ring?” “Although the power of the Fourth Star Ring is only comparable to a One-rotation Myriad Phase Realm cultivator, this Star Ring was personally laid down by the Shenwu Emperor! Isn’t this a blatant slap to the Emperor’s face?” “It’s over! It’s over! The Shenwu Emperor’s wrath will surely bring another bloodbath!” For a time, a multitude of powerful experts all gazed towards the distant Cloudrise Holy Land.
Although the Fourth Star Ring was somewhat inferior to the Second Star Ring and First Star Ring, it was simply too vast, like an arc enveloping the outer starry sky. Now that it had shattered, every powerful expert could see it! Now, only three Star Rings remained in the Fallen Star Sea! Everyone was shocked.
Meanwhile. In the First Star Ring, Ju Shou suddenly stood up from his garrison, looking towards Cloudrise Holy Land with a dumbfounded expression. “What? The Fourth Star Ring shattered? What kind of anomaly has appeared between heaven and earth now?” One must know that his original concept for the Star Rings wasn’t just to gather Starry Sky Power; more importantly, it was to maintain balance! The four Star Rings directly monopolized the cosmic order! But the shattering of the Fourth Star Ring meant someone had broken this balance! An anomaly had appeared! Ju Shou quickly sat cross-legged, took out an ancient turtle shell, and began to divine.
Boom! A moment later, he stared at the divination result, stunned. “The One that Escaped!” “Heaven’s will has fifty, the Great Dao uses forty-nine, one escapes!” “Who is this ‘One’?”
At the same time. A wisp of the Shenwu Emperor’s consciousness slowly awakened. He was in secluded cultivation in his ancestral land, striving to break through to a realm beyond Ancient Ancestor. But the imprint he had left in the Fourth Star Ring had suddenly shattered, startling a wisp of his consciousness awake. “Who dared to disturb my seal?” The Shenwu Emperor radiated majesty without needing to express anger. Although it was just a seal he had casually left behind, his divine might was not to be violated! With a single thought from the Shenwu Emperor.
Boom! Far away in the Fourth Star Ring, the scattered power of the Shenwu Emperor suddenly began to coalesce, directly forming a colossal eye. The Ancient Ancestor’s Eye! The massive Ancient Ancestor’s Eye gazed down upon this corner of the world, Myriad Phase Realm power pouring forth like a tidal wave. A Dharma Manifestation condensed from the shattered Star Ring’s power: the Ancient Ancestor’s Eye! Instantly, everyone in this region of the world felt a profound shiver!
Someone immediately cried out in alarm, “An Ancient Ancestor!” “An Ancient Ancestor from the First Star Ring!” Not only near the Fourth Star Ring, but even the powerful experts of the Second Star Ring and Third Star Ring felt a wisp of the Shenwu Emperor’s aura. The power of an Ancient Ancestor! One must know, Ancient Ancestors hadn’t appeared for tens of thousands of years! They were all in secluded cultivation! Yet now, one had actually appeared!
Near Cloudrise Holy Land, almost everyone, except Lu Xuan and his disciples, involuntarily fell to their knees under this terrifying power! Thump! Thump! It was too terrifying!
At this moment. The Shenwu Emperor’s Ancient Ancestor’s Eye stared intently at Lu Xuan. “Ant, was it you who shattered my imprint?” Lu Xuan scoffed, “A mere phenomenon dares to be presumptuous before me!?”
