48: The Immortal Infant Shakes the Merged Star Sea, Spreading Its Ferocious Infamy

True Lord Xing Lan's furious roar carried the overwhelming might of the Body Integration Stage, mixed with dense, dark, deathly Qi. It descended upon Lu Qingxuan inside the God-Sealing Chamber like a tangible black mountain. Space solidified, the star models on the walls instantly dimmed, the ground cracked, and the entire secret room seemed on the verge of collapse!

The might of Body Integration already involves the preliminary Fusion of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, far surpassing Soul Transformation. True Lord Xing Lan, enraged, further mobilized the surrounding power of Heaven and Earth and his own Darkness Origin, intending to grind this audacious intruder into dust!

Chaos Qi naturally circulated around Lu Qingxuan, weakening and dissolving the terrifying pressure layer by layer. His figure was tall and straight, his gaze as calm as water. Although the chaos immortal infant had not achieved a Soul Transformation Breakthrough, its essence was extremely high, and the rank of the Chaos Law it contained far surpassed that of his opponent, allowing him to move freely under such suppression.

"Bluster." He spoke lightly, the indifference in his tone stinging True Lord Xing Lan's nerves more than any mockery.

"You court death! Dark Star Soul-Corroding Hand!"

True Lord Xing Lan stopped talking nonsense, extending his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw. A massive spectral claw, condensed from pure dark Star Power, appeared out of thin air. Black lightning, capable of corroding the Divine Soul, coiled around its tips. It instantly tore open the Void Realm and swooped down over Lu Qingxuan's head! This one claw was powerful enough to easily crush the Physical Body and Nascent Soul of a Peak Soul Transformation Cultivator!

Facing this fierce strike, Lu Qingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Though confident, he would not underestimate the enraged strike of a Body Integration Cultivator. The chaos immortal infant buzzed within him, and boundless Chaos Magic Power surged ceaselessly.

He did not meet it head-on. Instead, his figure flickered, and the extreme speed resulting from the Shadow Void Evasion's Fusion with the Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art erupted, leaving a slowly dissipating afterimage in his wake. The spectral claw descended, tearing the afterimage apart, but grasping only air.

"Hmm? Such speed!" True Lord Xing Lan missed his attack, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but his killing intent intensified. "Let's see how long you can hide! All-Heaven Star Lock!"

He changed his spell seals, activating the remaining Formation power of the Star Gazing Palace. Countless chains of starlight drilled out of the Void Realm, weaving into an immense net that sealed all directions, simultaneously containing powerful forces capable of restricting Magic Power and space, intending to completely trap Lu Qingxuan until death.

"A trivial trick."

Lu Qingxuan snorted coldly. Facing the enveloping giant net of starlight, he stopped dodging. Chaos halos circulated in his eyes, and the power of the Chaos Return to Ruin Dao Domain (Prototype) was pushed to its limit. Although its range was not as great as its complete form, its characteristic of returning all techniques to ruin was not inferior!

"Return to Ruin!"

He roared, and the gray Dao Domain light around him flared brightly. The countless starlight chains that wrapped around him, upon entering the Dao Domain's range, were like sinking into an invisible swamp. The Star Power and sealing runes on them visibly dimmed and disintegrated, finally transforming into pure Spiritual Qi particles, which were devoured and absorbed by the Chaos Dao Domain.

Where the Dao Domain reaches, all techniques are nullified!

"What?! It can directly dismantle my All-Heaven Star Lock?!" True Lord Xing Lan's expression finally changed. He felt the connection between himself and the starlight chains being forcibly severed and annihilated by a higher-level Law power! This was definitely no ordinary Domain!

"This child is strange; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

Realizing how difficult Lu Qingxuan was, True Lord Xing Lan completely abandoned his contempt and decided to use a killing move. He pressed his palms together, and starlight and black Qi frantically converged around him, condensing behind him into a terrifying Dharma Idol, a hundred zhang tall, half-star and half-demon! The Dharma Idol roared, shaking the Void Realm and emitting suffocating pressure!

"Star Demon World-Destroying Fist!"

The Dharma Idol swung its massive fist. Stars circled the fist, and Devilish Qi surged heavenward, carrying world-destroying power as it fiercely smashed toward Lu Qingxuan! This punch utilized the power of his Dharma Idol, combining the Great Dao of Stars and the Darkness Origin. Its might was enough to shatter mountains and rivers and shake the sun and moon!

Facing this terrifying, unavoidable punch, Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath, and brilliant Battle Intent erupted in his eyes. The Early Stage chaos immortal infant was going to meet the strike of an Early Integration Stage Dharma Idol head-on!

The power of the Chaos Divine Demon Body (Elementary) was activated within him; it was as if Chaos God-Demons were roaring in his flesh and blood. He likewise threw a punch. There was no Dharma Idol, no strange phenomenon, only the purest Chaos Qi enveloping his fist, meeting the hundred-zhang giant fist!

The two fists, completely disproportionate in size, violently collided in the center of the God-Sealing Chamber!

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering roar erupted! Violent energy shockwaves swept outwards like a tsunami! The entire God-Sealing Chamber could no longer withstand the force and collapsed instantly! Even the main structure of the Star Gazing Palace above it began to crack and fall layer by layer!

Amidst the swirling dust, the giant fist of the hundred-zhang Star Demon Dharma Idol showed dense cracks precisely where it collided with Lu Qingxuan's minuscule fist! The cracks spread rapidly, instantly covering the entire Dharma Idol's fist, arm, and even half of its body!

"Pfft!"

True Lord Xing Lan's main body suffered a heavy blow, and he violently spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood, his face filled with horror and disbelief. His Dharma Idol was actually punched to the brink of collapse by an Immortal Infant Cultivator?! How was this possible?!

Lu Qingxuan was also shaken by the recoil, causing his Qi and blood to churn. He retreated several steps, feeling numbness in his fist, but his eyes grew brighter. The combination of the chaos immortal infant and the Chaos God-Demon Body meant his Physical Body and Magic Power were indeed powerful enough to meet a Dharma Idol head-on, defying Realms!

"Impossible! What kind of monster are you?!" True Lord Xing Lan was overwhelmed by shock and fury. Looking at his cracked, dimmed Dharma Idol, his heart bled. Damage to the Dharma Idol was also a severe injury to his main body!

"The one who will kill you!"

Lu Qingxuan pressed his advantage, knowing he had to finish the fight quickly. His figure moved like lightning, charging forward again. He held his fingers together like a sword. The Chaos Qi at his fingertips was highly compressed, faintly entwined with the phantom image of the Azure Emperor Longevity Sword and a trace of the annihilation intent of the Darkness Origin.

"Return to Ruin Sword Finger!"

A gray Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, tore through the dust and stabbed directly at the center of True Lord Xing Lan's brow! This finger strike contained the profound mystery of Chaos Return to Ruin, specialized in breaking all techniques and pointing directly to the Origin!

Having just suffered a heavy injury, True Lord Xing Lan's reaction was half a beat too slow, and he only managed to turn his head aside in haste.

"Hiss!"

The Sword Qi grazed his cheek, taking away a large chunk of flesh and leaving a deep, bone-visible wound wrapped in Chaos Qi. The vitality of the flesh at the wound was being rapidly annihilated! Furthermore, a wave of Return to Ruin Sword Intent invaded his body through the wound, frantically destroying his Meridians and Darkness Origin!

"Ah!" True Lord Xing Lan let out a painful howl, horrified and enraged. He realized that if the battle continued, he might truly fail in a simple task and perish here!

"Brat! This Lord remembers you! I will certainly repay this grudge someday!"

After uttering a harsh threat, True Lord Xing Lan immediately burned a portion of his vital blood essence, transforming into a black and red streaked ray of light. He smashed through layers of rubble and frantically fled toward the outside of the Starfall Pavilion! He didn't even care about the bronze fragment or his crumbling Sect anymore!

Lu Qingxuan did not pursue. He stood in place, calming the turbulent Qi and blood within him. Meeting a Body Integration Dharma Idol head-on was extremely taxing for him. Looking in the direction True Lord Xing Lan had fled, his eyes were cold.

"The monk can run, but the temple can't. Godfall Star, we will meet again."

He turned, his gaze falling upon the half-buried altar. The bronze fragment was still suspended there, humming and trembling.

Waving his hand to sweep aside the rubble, Lu Qingxuan drew the larger bronze fragment into his grasp. When the two fragments met, the resonance intensified, and a more complete, mysterious stream of information flooded into his mind. It seemed to point toward a more distant coordinate, faintly corresponding to certain areas on the myriad ages demon suppressing star chart.

Putting away the fragment, his Divine Sense swept over the now-ruined Star Gazing Palace, collecting valuable resources, especially the storage Magic Treasures left behind by True Lord Xing Lan and Elder Mu Yan.

By this time, the entire Starfall Pavilion had been alarmed by the earth-shattering battle here. Countless Disciples and Elders watched from afar. Seeing that even the Pavilion Master was severely injured and had fled in defeat, every one of them turned pale with extreme terror.

Lu Qingxuan's figure shot into the sky, hovering above the collapsed Star Gazing Palace. Chaos Qi coiled around him. Although he was only in the Immortal Infant Realm, he exuded a terrifying might that made even Soul Transformation Cultivators shudder.

"Starfall Pavilion colluded with Darkness, and the Pavilion Master Xing Lan has fled in defeat." His voice was cold and clear, spreading throughout the Seven Star Cluster Islands. "I, Lu Qingxuan, act on behalf of Heaven today. Those who submit shall live, those who resist shall die!"

He pointed his fingers and slashed. A stream of Chaos Sword Qi descended, instantly slaying several Elders who tried to organize resistance and whose bodies were suffused with dense dark Qi, establishing his authority before the masses!

Witnessing this scene, no one dared to object again; they all knelt and begged for mercy.

Lu Qingxuan had no intention of staying long, and he announced loudly: "Effective immediately, Starfall Pavilion is removed from the roster! You all look out for yourselves!"

Having finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of Chaos light, broke through the Starfall Pavilion's mountain gate, and sped toward the depths of the even more mysterious and dangerous "Godfall Star," following the newly acquired coordinates and the star chart's guidance.

Behind him, all that remained was the ruin of a top-tier power, and a fierce reputation bearing the name "Lu Qingxuan" that began to quietly spread throughout this Star Domain. The record of an Immortal Infant slaying a Body Integration Cultivator (though he didn't kill him, he severely injured him and forced him to flee) was enough to shock and terrify any Cultivator who heard it.
