178: Chapter 178 Starry Sky Domain, Clash of Laws

In the center of the battlefield, dark red evil qi surged around the Heavenly Derivation Master as countless ghostly shadows of resentful souls shrieked and circled.

He stared at Lin Yue, who was stepping through the air, a hint of wariness flashing in his crimson pupils.

Late Nascent Soul Stage Peak!

Moreover, his aura was so solid that it faintly touched the threshold of Soul Transformation!

"Lin Yue... you truly are an anomaly."

The Heavenly Derivation Master's voice was hoarse: "But today, you must die."

As his voice fell, he formed hand seals with both hands.

The dark red evil qi gathered frantically, condensing into a hundred-zhang-tall phantom of a demon god behind him.

The demon god had three heads and six arms, each arm holding an evil weapon, and its aura had clearly broken through the Nascent Soul boundary, touching the Soul Transformation Domain!

"Spirit Devourer Dharma Image — Myriad Soul Demon God!"

The Heavenly Derivation Master shouted, and the demon god's six arms swung together, sending six dark red pillars of light tearing through the sky toward Lin Yue!

Everywhere the light pillars passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing pitch-black Void Realm cracks.

This strike had already reached the power of the Early Spirit Transformation Stage!

"Young Friend Lin, be careful!"

The Star Track Pavilion Master's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to step forward to help.

But Lin Yue simply waved his hand.

"Senior, please rest. Leave this beast... to me."

He took a step forward, facing the six light pillars head-on.

Then, he slowly raised his hand.

"Starry Sky Domain — Open!"

Buzz—!!!

With Lin Yue as the center, the sky within a ten-mile radius instantly transformed into a brilliant sea of stars!

It was not a projection, nor was it an illusion.

It was the descent of the true starry sky!

Countless phantoms of stars flowed within the sea of stars, and starlight fell like waterfalls, forcibly freezing the six dark red light pillars in mid-air!

"What?!"

The Heavenly Derivation Master's pupils shrank abruptly.

The full-power strike of his Spirit Devourer Dharma Image was actually blocked so easily?!

"Domain... How could your Domain be so strong?!"

"Because this is no ordinary Domain."

Lin Yue's voice was calm, yet it carried a cold killing intent:

"This is the Starry Sky Domain, a Fusion of the four Origins of stars, dragon soul, earth, and space."

"Within the Domain, I am the Dominator."

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

"Starfall."

In the starry sky, a star phantom with a diameter of a hundred zhang suddenly fell, smashing toward the demon god Dharma Image!

"Roar—!"

The demon god Dharma Image raised all six arms, attempting to support the star.

But the star phantom was as heavy as a mountain and contained the Power of the Stars that could purify all evil filth.

Sizzle—!

As soon as the demon god Dharma Image's arms touched the star, they began to melt inch by inch, like snow meeting the sun!

"Impossible!"

The Heavenly Derivation Master roared, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

The Essence Blood merged into the demon god Dharma Image, causing its aura to surge again, and it actually managed to hold up the star phantom.

But Lin Yue only gave a faint smile.

"If one star isn't enough, then... ten stars."

He formed hand seals, and ten star phantoms of the same size appeared simultaneously in the starry sky.

Then, they fell like a meteor shower!

Boom boom boom boom—!!!

The demon god Dharma Image could no longer hold on and shattered under the bombardment of the ten stars!

The Heavenly Derivation Master was sent flying as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, coughing up blood.

But the fierce light in his eyes did not diminish; instead, it became even more crazed.

"You forced me..."

He growled hoarsely, pressing both hands against his chest.

"Spirit Devourer Forbidden Art — Soul Fragment Descent!"

Crack!

The skin on his chest suddenly split open, and a dark red eyeball emerged from within.

The eyeball rolled and looked at Lin Yue.

An invisible wave swept across.

Lin Yue groaned, feeling as if his Divine Soul had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his vision went dark for a moment.

"This is... the soul fragment of a Spirit Transformation Commander?!"

The Star Track Pavilion Master cried out in shock.

Within the Heavenly Derivation Master's body, there was actually hidden a wisp of a soul fragment from a Spirit Transformation Commander!

At this moment, the soul fragment was awakening, intending to use the Heavenly Derivation Master's body to forcibly descend into this world!

"Hahaha... Lin Yue, to be able to die at the hands of the Commander is your honor!"

The Heavenly Derivation Master laughed wildly, his body starting to twist violently.

Under his skin, countless fleshy sprouts wriggled, and his size began to swell.

He wanted to use himself as a sacrifice to allow the Commander's soul fragment to fully descend!

Once successful, for a short period, he would possess the combat power of the Early Spirit Transformation Stage!

By then, no matter how strong Lin Yue was, he would surely die!

"We can't let him complete the ritual!"

The Star Track Pavilion Master endured his injuries, wanting to take action.

But Lin Yue was faster than him.

"You want to descend?"

A cold light flashed in Lin Yue's eyes.

"Have you asked my Nascent Soul?"

He took a deep breath and pressed both hands over his Dantian.

"star dragon nascent soul — Out!"

Buzz—!!!

A four-colored pillar of light shot up from the crown of Lin Yue's head!

Within the light pillar, a ten-zhang-long star dragon spiraled out.

The dragon's body was silver-white, with star Dao patterns branded on its scales; its pupils were golden, radiating the pressure of a dragon soul; its claws were earthy yellow, containing the heaviness of the earth; and its wings were silver-gray, with spatial ripples flowing through them.

The Fusion of four Origins, the star dragon nascent soul!

"What kind of... Nascent Soul is this?!"

The Commander's soul fragment inside the Heavenly Derivation Master's body voiced its shock and suspicion for the first time.

It had never seen such a peculiar Nascent Soul—it had actually fused four different Origins!

"The Nascent Soul that will kill you."

Lin Yue said coldly, and with a thought.

The star dragon roared toward the heavens!

"Roar—!!!"

The dragon's roar shook the sky!

Within the roar was a hint of... True Dragon's Might!

That was the Dragon Clan Origin left in the star dragon nascent soul by the Corrupt Poison Flood Dragon Soul, which was now fully activated by Lin Yue!

With the True Dragon's Might, all evils were dispelled!

Under the impact of the True Dragon's Might, the Commander's soul fragment inside the Heavenly Derivation Master's body actually let out a painful shriek!

"No... impossible! How could there be True Dragon's Might in this world?!"

It discovered in horror that its soul fragment was being forcibly suppressed by the dragon might, and the descent ritual... was interrupted!

"Now!"

Lin Yue seized the opportunity and took a step forward.

His figure merged into the starlight, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Heavenly Derivation Master.

The starfall sword was unsheathed.

Upon the blade, four-colored light flowed.

"This strike is for the Human Race."

He thrust his sword.

The sword light was like lightning, piercing into the Heavenly Derivation Master's forehead.

The Heavenly Derivation Master's entire body froze.

He looked down at the long sword piercing through his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I... I actually..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Lin Yue twisted the sword blade.

"Explode."

Boom—!!!

The Power of the Stars exploded within the Heavenly Derivation Master's skull.

His head was blown to pieces!

But the Nascent Soul was not yet dead.

A dark red Nascent Soul escaped from the Heavenly Derivation Master's mangled body, attempting to flee.

In its arms, it also held a dark red eyeball—the core of the Commander's soul fragment!

"Trying to run?"

Lin Yue was already prepared and made a grasping motion with his left hand.

"Spatial Imprisonment."

The space within a hundred zhang instantly solidified.

The dark red Nascent Soul was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

"No... don't kill me! I can tell you the secrets of the Spirit Devouring Clan! I can..."

The Nascent Soul screamed for mercy.

But Lin Yue didn't listen at all.

"A traitor has no right to negotiate."

He pressed his fingers together like a sword and tapped the Nascent Soul's forehead.

"Star Devour — Refine!"

The star dragon nascent soul opened its mouth and sucked.

The dark red Nascent Soul, along with the eyeball, was forcibly sucked into the dragon's mouth.

The dragon's mouth closed and chewed.

Crunch, crunch... a sound that set one's teeth on edge rang out.

The Nascent Soul's screams came to an abrupt end.

Three breaths later.

The star dragon nascent soul let out a burp and spat out a wisp of dark red smoke.

The smoke hit the ground and turned to ash.

The Heavenly Derivation Master was completely annihilated in both form and spirit!

The Commander's soul fragment was thoroughly refined!

The entire field was dead silent.

The Star Track Pavilion Master and Star Radiance watched this scene in a daze, speechless for a long time.

The Nascent Soul Peak Heavenly Derivation Master, who had a Soul Transformation fragment hidden within him... had died just like that?

Instantly killed... by Lin Yue?!

"Young... Young Friend Lin, you..."

The Star Track Pavilion Master's voice was dry.

Lin Yue withdrew the star dragon nascent soul, but his face suddenly turned pale.

Pfft—!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which was actually mixed with four-colored points of light.

"Sect Master Lin!"

Star Radiance cried out and rushed forward.

"It's nothing."

Lin Yue waved his hand, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "A small crack has appeared in the balance of the four Origins."

He had just forcibly triggered the True Dragon's Might and used Star Devour to refine the soul fragment, causing the four Origins in his body to become temporarily imbalanced.

He needed to go into seclusion immediately to stabilize them.

"However, it was worth it."

Lin Yue looked at the remains of the Heavenly Derivation Master, his eyes cold:

"The traitor has been eliminated, and next..."

He looked toward the Burial Dragon Abyss.

The width of the crack had now expanded to forty-five zhang.

At the other end of the crack, the figure sitting on the bone throne was slowly standing up.

Clearly, the destruction of the soul fragment had enraged the original body.

"Order the entire army."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, suppressing the churning blood in his body:

"In three days, activate the Banishing Great Formation."

"This battle..."

He clenched his fists, starlight flowing in his eyes:

"...it's time to end this."
