“Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! How dare they underestimate my Tianchen Empire? I will annihilate them!”
Lian Qianli’s icy voice echoed through the grand hall. He had never imagined the White Robe Star Venerate would dare to step into the Third Star Ring! A provocation! This was simply courting death!
Emperor Lian Qianli’s will stirred. With a flick of his sleeve, brilliant Dao patterns surged through the hall. Boom! A Starry Sky Spirit Image instantly materialized. This was the Star Dome Array, constructed by the Tianchen Empire at immense cost. Wherever an array node existed within the Tianchen Empire’s vast territory, a real-time projection of the nearby starry sky could be displayed.
Soon, the image showed Lu Xuan, clad in his white robe, descending onto a star with his disciples, Ji Fuyao and the others. An ancient voice boomed, and then a white-haired elder, wielding a long spear, rose into the sky and charged towards Lu Xuan.
“He who offends my Tianchen Empire shall be punished, no matter how far!”
The spear tore through the firmament, unleashing a heaven-reaching river of divine radiance that illuminated the void, its momentum overwhelming. Seeing this, Emperor Lian Qianli smiled in satisfaction. “Excellent! All under my Tianchen Empire are warriors of iron and blood, not cowards!”
The next instant, the white-haired elder’s heaven-reaching spear light, like an endless river, poured down upon Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan stood unmoving in the void. Myriad Laws Immunity! A faint starry glow shimmered on his white robe. When the dust settled, Lu Xuan stood precisely where he had been, completely unharmed.
The white-haired elder stared at Lu Xuan, utterly stunned. “How… how is this possible? You…”
A moment of dead silence. From several nearby stars, heaven-reaching divine radiance erupted simultaneously! Several terrifying auras, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, rose into the sky. A few men, wielding spirit weapons and bathed in divine light, charged forward. All of them were Star Venerate Realm experts!
Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao. “You all handle this.”
This was a good training exercise for Ji Fuyao and the others! They had just entered the Star Venerate Realm! They desperately needed a battle to solidify their breakthroughs!
Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck slightly, her eyes burning with spirit fire, radiating overwhelming killing intent. Her fiery red dress billowed as she rose into the sky and charged. At the same time, Ye Chen, Xuanji Holy Lord, and Wuwu also surged forward!
In Ji Fuyao’s jade hand appeared the Supreme Weapon, Heaven-Burning Spear. A boundless sea of spirit fire erupted around her, and her delicate feet moved within it as if an Ancestor of Flame had descended. Terrifying Dao and Rhyme flowed freely in all directions. Whoosh! With a sweep of her spear, the power of the Desolate Heaven Art surged, and terrifying spirit fire poured out, transforming into a colossal fire dragon that crushed down upon the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder snorted coldly, unleashing a terrifying technique of his own. Boom! This power manifested as a colossal illusory spear, hurtling towards Ji Fuyao. In an instant, the two powers clashed. The fire dragon utterly crushed the giant spear, which shattered into countless fragments. The white-haired elder immediately spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Pfft! His body recoiled from the backlash, sending him flying tens of thousands of feet away.
Just as the white-haired elder was about to rise, Ji Fuyao’s Heaven-Burning Spear was already before him, striking with blinding speed. Whoosh! The white-haired elder screamed, his head instantly severed! Blood splattered everywhere! His headless corpse plummeted from the void! An instant kill!
On the other side, Ye Chen’s white robe billowed, his body surging with heaven-reaching Martial Dao power. Behind him, his Martial Dao Furnace roared with terrifying might. He directly confronted a Three-rotation Star Venerate grey-robed man! This was the strongest opponent present! It was important to note that he had already broken through to Two-rotation Star Venerate, making his cultivation the highest among them… aside from Chen Changsheng, of course.
Fighting above his realm! He absolutely had to fight above his realm, otherwise, he’d be embarrassed, especially after Master had given him so many heaven-defying treasures! In the distance, the grey-robed man saw Lu Xuan standing calmly in the starry sky and immediately understood what was happening. The White Robe Star Venerate disdained to act himself, letting his disciples gain experience!
At this thought, a ferocious expression twisted the grey-robed man’s face. He snarled, “White Robe Star Venerate, you dare use us as training dummies for your disciples? Then I’ll send you back a few corpses!”
Lu Xuan didn’t bother to reply.
Heaven-reaching killing intent erupted from the grey-robed man, and terrifying Dao patterns appeared around him. His physical body roared like a divine furnace, tearing his upper robes apart. His flesh was as hard as bedrock. This was a Body Cultivator Star Venerate! Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but think of Fang Yan. Fang Yan had gone to the Adamant Sect to cultivate; he wondered what realm he was in now?
The grey-robed man traversed the starry sky. Wherever he went, his sheer physical might was enough to crush the void, twisting space itself. His bodily pressure transformed into a surging river, flowing in all directions. Boom! He arrived directly before Ye Chen and unleashed a punch aimed at Ye Chen’s head! This was pure physical power, terrifying qi waves surging in all directions!
Ye Chen was not to be outdone; he immediately activated the Desolate Heaven Art! “I am the Desolate Martial Star Venerate, destined to suppress all enemies in this world!” Terrifying killing intent erupted from him, along with an ‘Invincible Stance.’ Within Ye Chen’s body, all his Martial Dao opportunities burst forth at this moment. He unleashed a punch! Boom! Their colossal fist-prints collided, and a terrifying golden storm erupted from Ye Chen and the grey-robed man, radiating in all directions.
Neither Ye Chen nor the grey-robed man moved. But the next instant, the grey-robed man’s fist began to bleed, and his golden physical body started to shatter. Crack! Crack! Blood continuously spurted from his body. The grey-robed man stared at his own body in shock. His physical form was rapidly cracking apart. He glared at Ye Chen, unwilling to accept his fate, and roared, “Why?! Why?!” Why had he lost to a mere Two-rotation Star Venerate? He had cultivated his body, never touched a woman, maintaining his pure Yang body until now! He couldn’t accept it! He couldn’t even last a single round!
The Dao within the grey-robed man began to dissipate, his aura rapidly fading. With a twisted, ferocious expression, he snarled, “Why did I lose?”
Ye Chen said calmly, “Your greatest mistake was making an enemy of me.”
The grey-robed man’s face twitched once, and he breathed his last. Ye Chen lightly brushed off his pristine white robe. “Too weak,” he muttered.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Indeed… worthy of being my disciples. They really showed off. My disciples have grown up, I am very pleased.”
Meanwhile, in the distance, Xuanji Holy Lord, clad in a purple long dress, her slender jade legs swaying in the starry sky, her white hair shimmering with crystalline light. Her entire being was enveloped in dense Eerie Power, appearing incredibly mysterious and profound. This sight caused the two Star Venerates who had just risen into the sky, ready to attack, to freeze in astonishment. Eerie Power! In the hearts of countless cultivators in the Fallen Star Sea, this was a force comparable to Fallen Power! No one dared to touch such power! Except for the madmen of the Eerie Sect!
Xuanji Holy Lord’s beautiful eyes swept over them. She gently raised her jade hand, and terrifying Eerie Power transformed into a river, shooting directly towards the two Star Venerate men before her. “Die!”
