262: Star Island

“Whoosh!”

The saber glow condensed on Xiao Zhuo’s fingertip was not dazzlingly bright; instead, it presented a deep, restrained dark gold, as if it had condensed the will of billions of spatial cuts.

The moment it appeared, the raging boundary storm around it strangely froze for an instant! The expressions on the faces of the three Heavenly Immortal cultivators instantly stiffened, and a sense of impending doom suddenly enveloped their hearts.

“Bluff!” the giant roared, and the demonic axe in his hand erupted with a sky-piercing bloody light, carrying the fierce power to split mountains and cleave Peaks, chopping down directly!

The Myriad soul banner in the withered old man’s hand shook wildly, and countless resentful souls and vengeful spirits, solidified as if corporeal, transformed into a black torrent, shrieking and biting their way forward.

The enchanting woman’s pink poisonous miasma also coiled around them sinisterly, like a living creature.

Facing this combined attack, which would have left an ordinary Heavenly Immortal flustered, Xiao Zhuo’s eyes remained as calm as an ancient well.

He flicked his fingertip lightly.

The dark gold saber glow shot out silently, without earth-shattering momentum, only extreme sharpness and the rhythm of space. Xiao Zhuo’s figure remained motionless; the three attackers’ assaults couldn’t even shake his protective immortal energy cover in the slightest.

The saber glow met the bloody axe light and the torrent of soul fiends.

There was no violent explosion, only a teeth-grinding tearing sound.

Like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter!

The axe light, which had condensed the giant’s ferocious demonic essence, shattered and annihilated inch by inch like fragile glass the moment it touched the saber glow!

The torrent of soul fiends that followed immediately crumbled upon contact. Wherever the dark gold saber glow passed, countless ferocious resentful souls, unable to even let out a scream, were completely reduced to nothingness under the sharp edge infused with Space Law and Metal Law! Even the Myriad soul banner let out a mournful wail, unable to bear the burden, and a deep crack appeared on its surface!

“Pfft!” The withered old man was struck as if by a heavy hammer, violently spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes filled only with horror and disbelief.

The saber glow’s momentum was undiminished, its speed already surpassing Divine Thought perception, as if it ignored the distance of space. In the enchanting woman’s terrified eyes, it lightly grazed her fair neck.

Her alluring smile completely froze, and the charm in her eyes was instantly swallowed by boundless fear.

The pink miasma suddenly dissipated, and a beautiful head with a stunned expression shot into the sky, pale golden blood spraying like rain! The Saber Intent, imbued with Dao Principle, had annihilated her Immortal Embryo as well!

“No… impossible!” The giant watched helplessly as his companion was instantly beheaded and another’s Natal Magic Treasure was severely damaged, utterly terrified.

Only now did he suddenly realize that what he had provoked was not some fat sheep, but clearly an ancient Vicious Beast in sheep’s clothing!

The giant reacted extremely quickly, immediately retracting his demonic axe and kneeling in mid-air: “Senior, spare my life! It was my fault for being blind and offending Senior! I beg Senior to show mercy and spare my humble life! Even as a slave, Zhao Zhan will have no complaints!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Senior, have mercy! I am the same!” The withered old man also disregarded his injuries and Magic Treasure, hastily kneeling and kowtowing. Xiao Zhuo’s casual strike was already so terrifying; his Cultivation must be at least that of a top Heavenly Immortal, or even higher, and their Battle Intent had long since vanished.

Xiao Zhuo’s mouth curved into a playful arc, but he did not reply. He flipped his palm, and a chaotic-colored lotus flower appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the two kneeling figures.

“Damn it!” Zhao Zhan’s expression changed dramatically, knowing that the other party had no intention of letting them go. He unhesitatingly threw his Heaven-Grade Low Grade demonic axe at the closing lotus petals, attempting to break open a path to survival!

The withered old man also broke out in a cold sweat, swiftly pulling out a bead that emanated dark golden destructive lightning, fiercely pointing it at Xiao Zhuo—it was a terrifying one-time Magic Treasure!

That wasn’t all; his hands flew like lightning, and Magic Treasures were frantically sacrificed and detonated one after another! In an instant, chaotic energy ripples surged violently within the lotus heart, as if to completely tear apart this Chaos lotus!

Xiao Zhuo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he clenched his right hand in the Void Realm. The speed at which the Chaos lotus petals converged suddenly skyrocketed!

Boom! Boom! RUMBLE—!

Deafening explosions continuously rang out within the lotus heart!

The giant self-detonated his Natal demonic axe, and the withered old man instantly detonated no less than ten Magic Treasures! The violent energy impact caused the Chaos lotus petals to tremble violently, their light flickering erratically.

“I did underestimate you all,” Xiao Zhuo’s expression remained calm, but a hint of approval flashed in his heart, “To engage in such activities at the entrance of the Immortal-Demon Realm, you truly have some trump cards.”

Such a desperate counterattack, if he were truly at the Peak Heavenly Immortal stage, might have indeed allowed them a glimmer of an escape opportunity.

It’s just a pity… he was not a Heavenly Immortal!

The next moment, the Chaos lotus completely closed, then suddenly collapsed inward!

A chaotic-colored aura of destruction silently exploded in place, and the two Heavenly Immortal auras within it persisted for less than three breaths before completely vanishing without a trace.

Xiao Zhuo’s mind stirred, and he received a panel notification.

He quickly scanned it, understanding immediately.

Sure enough, the suffix for “Attribute Points” had changed from “Middle Thousand Worlds” to “Major Thousand Worlds.”

His original remaining eleven thousand-plus Middle Thousand Attribute Points had now correspondingly converted to… one point.

“Does the form of Attribute Points change with the world rank I’m in?” Xiao Zhuo mused.

The last time he first arrived at a higher plane from a Middle Thousand World, he vaguely felt that after the Attribute Points transformed, the profound power contained in the White Mist Space increased, and the effect of guiding Cultivation also greatly improved.

Presumably, after converting to Major Thousand Attribute Points, the panel’s capabilities would also be enhanced again.

However, the three Heavenly Immortals he had just killed only provided a total of over two thousand Major Thousand Attribute Points.

Xiao Zhuo attempted to deduce the Dao Principle of Freedom, and the panel immediately prompted that deducing the Dao Principle of Freedom required ten thousand Attribute Points.

“It seems I must accumulate Attribute Points as quickly as possible,” his gaze slightly narrowed.

The Storage Rings of the giant and the withered old man had been pulverized along with them in the annihilating explosion of the Chaos lotus.

Xiao Zhuo only managed to retrieve the enchanting woman’s leftover Storage Ring and remains.

He used Source Blood to extract the essence of her Physical Body, refined the scattered Origin of her Immortal Embryo, then took a step, and his figure appeared before the Immortal-Demon Realm boundary realm.

At this moment, outside the boundary realm, the boundary sea storm still raged and roared, with no sign of a Boundary Gate opening.

Even with Xiao Zhuo’s Space Law comprehension reaching one-tenth, under the suppression of the violent and chaotic boundary realm power here, he had little room to exert it.

He could only hover in the Void Realm, stopping here; if he were to force his way through with his Cultivation, only death and Dao dissipation awaited him.

According to the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea Record (a common knowledge text of the Immortal-Demon Realm) provided by Xue Tian, the opening of the Immortal-Demon Realm Boundary Gate was not fixed, ranging from a few months to several years at a time.

Although there were powerful beings who could forcibly open it, such existences were not easily seen, were they?

Outside the boundary realm, quite a few immortal boats and towering ships were already moored at the edge of the storm, waiting.

Further away, a colossal structure, as if cast from stars, stood majestically—that was Star Realm Island!

This island was a fortress built by a certain major power in the Immortal-Demon Realm at the edge of the boundary sea, having existed for over a million years, after expending countless efforts.

The Immortal-Demon Realm Sea Record also contained detailed descriptions of this island: it not only had bustling markets but also numerous places of debauchery and pleasure, making it a renowned pleasure paradise near the Immortal-Demon Realm.

Since the opening of the Boundary Gate was far off, Xiao Zhuo decided to visit this Star Realm Island.

His figure flickered, transforming into a subtle silver stream of light, instantly traversing hundreds of thousands of miles, appearing outside the magnificent reception platform of Star Realm Island.

At the edge of the platform, two rows of graceful welcoming immortal maidens, dressed in sheer gauze and iridescent robes, bowed in unison, their voices clear and melodious: “Welcome, fellow immortal, to Star Realm Island!”

Xiao Zhuo’s eyebrow twitched almost imperceptibly.

These sixteen women before him were all Quasi-Immortal cultivators!

In a Middle Thousand World, they would already be Ancestor Level figures, yet here they merely served as greeters.

His estimation of Star Realm Island’s foundation immediately rose a few notches.

He maintained a calm expression, gracefully stepping onto the jade steps of the platform and walking inward.

As his toes just touched the ground, a surging, irresistible energy fluctuation suddenly came from above his head, accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, whistling towards him!
