599: Chapter 599 The Power of the Stars, Hunting Down Gu He

His hands turned into afterimages before him, condensing countless runes and striking them all into the star light cluster.

Hun Tiandi was using the Primitive Artifact Refining Method to refine the Star Demon-Sealing Monument.

As the primitive runes integrated, the star light cluster would sometimes condense into a longsword and sometimes transform into flames... branding a wisp of soul power within, controlled by Hun Tiandi.

The Taiyin True Fire continuously calcined the star light cluster, allowing the runes to merge completely with the light, evolving into the Heavenly Star Restriction.

When the final primitive rune was condensed and integrated into it...

The star light cluster suddenly trembled; there were exactly 129,600 runes, matching the One Yuan Number.

"Next is the most important step: condensing the Star Demon-Sealing Monument!"

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with absolute determination.

"Soul Sword, strike!"

With a thought, the Soul Sword surged out toward the star light cluster. An overbearing Innate Sword Intent permeated the air as he instantly struck out 365 sword slashes.

After the sword light flashed, the 365 clusters of light before him were like individual stars, blooming with brilliant starlight.

"With the soul as the guide, runes as the source, and stars as the foundation, Star Demon-Sealing Monument, condense!"

With a command, the Taiyin True Fire surged out, enveloping the 365 clusters of light and beginning the calcination.

Simultaneously, he performed the Primitive Artifact Refining Method. The lights began to flicker and twist, condensing according to the shape Hun Tiandi had planned.

His hand techniques changed rapidly, leaving behind countless afterimages. Instantly, the dazzling star light clusters condensed, transforming into mysterious Star Talismans that radiated starlight.

In a moment, amidst the flickering starlight, a palm-sized divine monument appeared before him.

Its surface shimmered with a stellar halo, exceptionally brilliant and dreamlike.

Countless runes flickered within it, and the surrounding space distorted. It seemed to project countless stars, revealing a glimpse of the Heavenly Star World.

Boom...

The divine monument trembled incessantly. Each brilliant star within was operating in a profound manner. Within that operation lay infinite principles of heaven and earth and infinite mysteries, giving rise to a star world.

"One... three... three hundred and sixty-five..."

In the star world of the divine monument, there were 365 Immemorial Stars operating smoothly.

"The 365 Heavenly Immemorial Stars are the source of the Star Demon-Sealing Monument, allowing it to truly evolve into a Small Star World and accommodate the power of ten thousand stars!"

Hun Tiandi did not stop for a second, frantically applying the Primitive Artifact Refining Method until the monument before him was as flawless as crystal.

When all 365 Star Demon-Sealing Monuments were finished being refined...

"Stars as one, evolving the heavens; Heavenly Stars, Primitive Divine Restriction, manifest!"

A vast roar erupted from within the Star Demon-Sealing Monument. Instantly, countless runes flew out, emitting a powerful devouring force that constantly breathed the power of the stars in and out.

A massive amount of stellar power was continuously swallowed into it.

The power of ten thousand stars merged into one without restraint. As the divine monument devoured the stellar power, it also began to expand violently, growing and strengthening frantically.

As if creating a new world, the immense power of the stars radiated a pressure sufficient to make a Fighting Saint feel fear.

Bang!

Once all the stellar power was completely devoured, a star world opened up within the divine monument, transforming into 365 runes that were like brilliant stars, branded into various mysterious positions on the monument.

Instantly, all the stars established mysterious connections with one another, operating along profound trajectories.

Swish!

Outside the Time Tower, in the endless starry sky, the power of countless stars was drawn in. Vast streams of stellar power surged toward the Black-Corner Region.

They converged into a pillar of starlight that connected heaven and earth, drawing down infinite stellar power.

It broke through the clouds and mist of the sky, bypassed the Dazheng Empire's Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Extinguishing Array, and appeared above the Black-Corner Region.

It fell directly into the Star Tower.

In an instant, it was enveloped and whistled into the Time Tower. The overflowing stellar power was a rare opportunity for magical beasts.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Snake-people Tribe, and Dragon Clan of the Dazheng Empire greedily absorbed the pure stellar power.

One must know that stellar power is a miraculous force in the world; once refined, it is even purer than the energy of heaven and earth.

It could also temper the body and refine away endless impurities.

The benefits were numerous. If one could bathe in stellar power every day, their cultivation speed would be at least ten times faster.

However, the Immemorial Stars were too far from the Fighting Qi Continent. Under normal circumstances, starlight only scattered at night, and the stellar power it contained was pitifully small.

Sensing the stellar power permeating the Dazheng Empire, everyone began to cultivate, circulating their techniques to absorb it.

As it entered the Time Tower, it rushed into the 365 Star Demon-Sealing Monuments standing there, causing vortices to erupt above them.

Infinite stellar power poured into the monuments, evolving into small star worlds under the Heavenly Star Restriction as the massive energy converged.

The space began to stabilize, stars evolved, and star runes flickered, branding themselves onto the void.

"Once the Heavenly Star Restriction is successfully completed, it can evolve into its own Small Heavenly World and draw in countless stellar powers!"

"The more various stellar powers converge, the more terrifying the might of the Star Demon-Sealing Monument will be!"

Hun Tiandi said excitedly. In the internal starry sky, a small four-colored sword stood at the center, spinning rapidly and absorbing stellar power, seemingly sharing a mysterious connection with him.

That was the wisp of soul power Hun Tiandi had separated.

The surface was crystal clear, its light restrained, and countless mysterious star patterns appeared upon it.

It looked very ancient, yet upon closer inspection, one could seemingly see countless stars operating within the monument.

Buzz!

The lingxiao jade butterfly that had been rotating above his head flashed with light and appeared within the starlight pillar, incessantly devouring stellar power as the Star Laws within it grew.

This...

Hun Tiandi was shocked. Since this treasure, the lingxiao jade butterfly, had been refined, he had tried every possible way to complete its laws.

Unfortunately, the efficiency had been very low.

The techniques collected by the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty had all been branded onto it, but the laws were still severely incomplete.

Up until now, only fifty-four laws were complete.

By absorbing stellar power today, the Star Laws should be able to reach completion.

Hun Tiandi turned his hand and took out the fangtian imperial seal. Seven-colored light flowed over it, and the red bead on top burst forth with thirteen-colored brilliance.

Whoosh!

At this moment, in the Tagor Desert, a purple light sped along, streaking across the sky. Upon closer look, it was a figure rushing forward.

Behind him were six more figures, chasing relentlessly across the sky.

"Gu He, you have betrayed the Flame Alliance! Return with this venerable one and beg the Alliance Leader for forgiveness!" an excited voice rang out—it was the person chasing Gu He.

The six figures behind were elders of the Flame Alliance, specifically elders from the Alchemy Hall.

"Pah! This venerable one is ashamed to be associated with you lot, always fighting for power and profit. Today's Flame Alliance is no longer the Flame Alliance of old!"

Gu He shouted back, weary of the filth within the Flame Alliance!

He had chosen to resign from his position as Deputy Hall Master, never expecting that his colleagues from the Alchemy Hall, with whom he usually didn't get along, would actually hunt him down!

However, Gu He didn't know that the order to hunt him down had been issued by the Patriarch of the Xiao Family.

It didn't matter anymore; Gu He had already left, fleeing all the way from the Jia Ma Empire to the Tagor Desert.

"A starlight pillar?" Gu He's gaze was deep as he looked at the pillar of light connecting heaven and earth in the Black-Corner Region, his expression freezing.

Perhaps going there would offer a sliver of hope for survival.

Whoosh!

He urged the little Dou Qi remaining in his body and sped toward the Black-Corner Region.

"Gu He, you cannot escape!" the Flame Alliance elder shouted, his speed exploding as he gave chase.
