Boom! The Void Kun’s massive body pulsed with a mysterious black energy, Fallen Power swirling constantly. Wherever it passed, space itself collapsed, and the starry sky warped. It wasn't shattering, but rather a bizarre form of existence. The power of the Fallen! Witnessing this, everyone was astonished.
Around the Void Kun, a veritable Black Hole had formed. This power was similar to the Dark Void, though considerably weaker. This was the Void Kun’s innate talent! The Void Kun had just devoured most of the Third Star Ring’s power, allowing it to step into the Seven-star Myriad Phase Realm. The power it could now wield was truly terrifying.
Yet, in the distance, Master Kongwu’s face remained impassive, devoid of joy or sorrow. His Golden Monk Robes billowed slightly as he swept a sleeve, and a colossal palm print descended. “Om Mani Padme Hum!” Above the void, profound Buddhist Chants surged, and golden Buddhist mysteries continuously swirled around the palm print. This enormous palm print, the size of a Star/Planet, plummeted downwards! The Void Kun opened its abyssal maw and charged forward. The two terrifying forces collided instantly. The golden giant palm and the black torrent clashed, erupting into a sky-piercing storm that swept across hundreds of thousands of feet. The entire starry sky trembled!
Boom! The Void Kun was directly sent flying. Black ripples pulsed rapidly across its body, using the Fallen Power to neutralize the immense Buddhist might. Whoosh! The next instant, the Void Kun appeared directly beside Lu Xuan, rubbing its massive body against him, like a child seeking comfort after being wronged. Lu Xuan patted the Void Kun. He felt as if the Void Kun’s body wasn’t quite as dark anymore. It was no match for an Ancient Ancestor’s clone.
At this moment, Master Kongwu, from afar, spoke in a calm tone, “White Robe Star Venerate, if this Void Kun were given more time to grow, it would indeed become terrifying. But as it stands now, it’s far from being my match.” The Void Kun immediately hid behind Lu Xuan. Can’t win. Absolutely can’t win! Instantly, countless gazes locked onto Lu Xuan. Now, even the White Robe Star Venerate’s most powerful asset, the Void Kun, was no match for Master Kongwu’s clone. Was he doomed? But Lu Xuan remained utterly calm, even though he didn’t have an ‘experience card’ on hand right now.
In the distance, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the others remained unconcerned. Master is invincible! He could annihilate this Master Kongwu clone with a flick of his finger! Just then, Master Kongwu’s colossal clone looked down at Lu Xuan and said, “White Robe Star Venerate, I’ll give you a chance. You may make the first move.” Lu Xuan: “…” Damn it. He stole my line. This is slightly awkward now.
Suddenly, Boom! Crack! The void tore open! Space warped! From the tearing void, a Plain-skirted Woman slowly emerged. Divine Radiance surged beneath her Jade feet, and with every step, she created a ripple of breathtaking beauty. Her figure was exquisite, as if she had stepped out of a painting. It was none other than the Sword Wielder, Qingqiu!
Master Kongwu paused, slightly stunned. “Qingqiu?” Around Qingqiu’s plain skirt, a green and white Sword Rhyme continuously swirled. Her lips parted slightly as she looked at Master Kongwu, “Kongwu, do not lay a hand on Senior White Robe!” Master Kongwu froze. Everyone else was equally dumbfounded. Senior White Robe? Qingqiu addressed the White Robe Star Venerate as ‘Senior,’ yet she called Master Kongwu by his Buddhist title directly! A monstrous wave of shock surged through the hearts of the many powerful observers. In the shadows, the numerous experts of the Fox Clan exchanged bewildered glances. Even a powerhouse like the Sword Wielder Qingqiu showed such immense respect to the White Robe Star Venerate? Could it be that his true identity was far from simple? One had to know, Qingqiu held a high position and immense power in the First Star Ring. She didn’t revere every Ancient Ancestor. To think she held such awe and veneration for Lu Xuan?
In the distance, Ji Fuyao bit her delicate lips, a thought stirring within her. Did something happen between Master and Qingqiu? When Qingqiu first met Master, she wasn’t nearly this respectful! How did she suddenly become so deferential? She understood these proud daughters of heaven well; she was one herself. They wouldn’t easily be swayed by just anyone! Except for Master, no one else. Suddenly, Ji Fuyao’s beautiful eyes narrowed. She tugged at Xuanji Holy Lord’s robes and whispered, “Fourth Junior Sister, I know! Master was away from us for a while. During that time, something definitely happened between him and Qingqiu.” Xuanji Holy Lord pondered for a moment, then nodded, “That makes sense.” Hearing this, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a slight grin, letting out a “hehe” chuckle. Ji Fuyao shot Ye Chen a glance. “What are you laughing at?” Boom! She raised her Jade hand and instantly suppressed Ye Chen in place. Ye Chen: “…”
Meanwhile, Master Kongwu looked at Qingqiu, asking only three words, “Why is this?” Qingqiu replied calmly, “If Senior White Robe were to make a move, your Main Body wouldn’t be able to contend, let alone this clone.” Master Kongwu was utterly stunned. It was the first time he had seen anyone in this entire Star Sea whom Qingqiu held in such high regard. After all, in the First Star Ring, Qingqiu had never been so polite to Ancient Ancestors like them, nor had she ever acknowledged their strength.
Witnessing this, Lu Xuan was bewildered. Could it be that Qingqiu mistakenly believes I entered the Dark Void and saved her? The Dark Void was so terrifying that even Qingqiu was severely wounded after just a moment inside... So, in Qingqiu’s eyes, if I saved her, I must naturally be incomparably powerful! In truth, this was only part of the reason. The other part was that, in Qingqiu’s mind, Lu Xuan had begun to overlap with ‘Sir.’ ‘Sir’ was an indelible mark deep within Qingqiu’s heart! Even after countless eons! As the saying went, when one was young, one should not encounter someone too astonishing, or they would be trapped for life. Perhaps Qingqiu was already trapped. It seemed she hadn’t escaped the rain fate had poured.
After a moment of silence, Master Kongwu looked at Qingqiu, pointed at Lu Xuan and Wuwu, and declared, “I will kill this White Robe Star Venerate today! And that promising seed, I will take him with me!” Boom! Qingqiu’s plain skirt billowed slightly as she moved directly to a spot not far in front of Lu Xuan. A faint, delicate fragrance wafted from her Jade back into Lu Xuan’s nostrils. Zheng! From Qingqiu’s waist, a Spirit Sword suddenly shot out, continuously swirling and circling around her. Sword Qi crisscrossed everywhere! Two Sword Rhymes, one green and one white, directly infused the Spirit Sword, making it terrifyingly powerful, as if it could cleave this entire world in two! This was a terrifying Dao and Momentum! Even Master Kongwu’s Dao and Momentum became somewhat unstable!
Qingqiu looked at Master Kongwu and said calmly, “You won’t accomplish anything today. Out of respect for the Star River Alliance, leave at once!” Master Kongwu’s expression shifted slightly. “You… why are you protecting this person?!” Qingqiu offered no further explanation. She simply said, “If you’re not convinced, then unleash your ‘Dao of Self.’ I’ll show you what One Sword Breaks All Laws truly means! If I need two swords, consider it my loss!”
