New mission
The moment Wolf Commander's golden Star Realm unfolded, the Star Combat Assembly seemed to be thrown into a melting pot.
The Star Power of the Celestial Immortal Realm materialized into luminous chains, interweaving around him to form a nine-palace grid-like cage, with miniature star maps suspended in each grid.
This was the Star Generals Residence's “Star Suppressing Realm,” capable of imprisoning the opponent's law operation, even locking space firmly.
“Taste the power of the Celestial Immortal Realm!” Wolf Commander shook his star-splitting spear, and the spear tip's sharpness suddenly surged by several feet. Golden light chains shot out like living snakes, coiling around White Night's limbs.
These light chains contained purified Star Law. Where they touched, the air condensed into golden crystals, clearly intending to cripple his mobility first.
White Night reacted like lightning. Chaos Law furiously circulated within his body, and streams of black-green energy seeped out through his pores. The moment they collided with the golden light chains, a
The Star Power on the light chains was devoured and transformed by the chaotic energy, becoming energy to nourish his star core.
“Chaos Law?!” Wolf Commander's pupils contracted sharply. He had seen records of this ancient law in the Star Generals Residence's ancient texts, stating it could devour all energy. He never expected it to appear on a True Immortal Realm cultivator. “No wonder you dared to challenge this General; you were relying on such evil arts!”
“Evil arts?” White Night sneered, his figure weaving through the gaps in the light chains. The wind blades carved by his iron sword carried the sharp force of spatial rifts, continuously cutting at the Star Realm's barrier. “What wins is the righteous path.”
The Wind Howling Silver Wolf suddenly shot out from White Night's sleeve. Its fifteen-foot tall body was completely unimpeded within the Star Suppressing Realm.
Its spatial traversal ability could ignore spatial confinement.
It sprayed silver sound waves at Wolf Commander, mixed with spatial shockwaves, making ripples appear in Wolf Commander's Star Realm.
“You beast!” Wolf Commander roared, sweeping his star-splitting spear horizontally. The spear's shadow transformed into a golden waterfall, forcing the Silver Wolf to retreat repeatedly.
In that momentary gap, White Night's figure suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Wolf Commander, his iron sword pointing directly at the star core in his back.
“Petty tricks!” Wolf Commander was already prepared. The Star Suppressing Realm suddenly contracted, and the golden light chains instantly tightened, firmly locking White Night's figure.
He turned and threw a punch. The Star Power condensed on his fist formed a miniature star, emitting heat capable of incinerating an immortal soul.
This punch was unavoidable! A resolute look flashed in White Night's eyes as he circulated Chaos Law to its extreme, simultaneously activating the golden light of merit within his body.
Black-green energy and golden light intertwined, forming a spiral barrier in front of him.
This was his defensive move, “Chaos Guard,” created by fusing Chaos Law and the power of merit.
“Boom!”
The moment the punch print collided with the barrier, the ground of the Star Combat Assembly collapsed into a hundred-foot deep pit.
Golden light waves spread like a tsunami. The surrounding cultivators hastily summoned their defensive artifacts, and even Ziwei Star Lord on the high platform raised a hand to set up a light screen.
From the dust, two figures flew out. Wolf Commander staggered and stood firm, a crack appearing in the battle armor on his chest; White Night, however, crashed heavily against the star crystal wall, golden immortal blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering a serious injury.
“To survive one of my punches at the True Immortal Realm, you have reason to be proud.” Wolf Commander wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the killing intent in his eyes growing even stronger. “But next, it will be your death!”
He formed hand seals, and the nine-palace star map within the Star Suppressing Realm suddenly rotated. Countless golden star arrows shot out from the star map, forming an impenetrable arrow net.
These star arrows contained the power of the Celestial Immortal Realm's laws, and the light flashing from their tips was even more domineering than the sharpness of the star-splitting spear.
White Night took a deep breath. The nascent star core in his immortal soul suddenly rotated at high speed, and the energy from the Gathering Star Stone River surged into his body along the Star Combat Assembly's star patterns.
He could feel that the barrier of the mid-True Immortal Realm was loosening, and the star core, after absorbing enough Star Power, actually began to solidify!
“Now!” White Night roared, plunging his iron sword into the ground. Chaos Law spread along the star patterns, resonating with the entire Star Combat Assembly's star power.
The golden star arrows shooting towards him, the moment they touched the chaotic energy, strangely reversed direction and shot back towards Wolf Commander!
“How is this possible?!” Wolf Commander was greatly alarmed, fully expanding his Star Suppressing Realm to barely block the reflected star arrows.
But in that instant of delay, a golden light burst forth from White Night's body, soaring into the sky.
The star core completely solidified, and his cultivation broke through from the mid-True Immortal Realm to the peak of the True Immortal Realm!
[Broke through to Peak True Immortal Realm, Star Core fully condensed]
[Obtained Skill: Star Realm Feedback (Can borrow energy from the current Star Realm)]
The power brought by the breakthrough was like a bursting dam. White Night's figure vanished again in the golden light.
This time, even Wolf Commander's divine sense couldn't capture his trajectory.
Star Realm Feedback allowed him to connect with the Star Suppressing Realm far better than his opponent, enabling him to traverse the Star Realm at will.
“Wind Rift · Star Fall!”
White Night's voice echoed above Wolf Commander's head. The chaotic energy entwined around his iron sword merged with the Star Realm's energy, transforming into a black-green meteor, smashing down with the might to tear everything apart.
Wolf Commander's Star Suppressing Realm shattered inch by inch under this blow, the golden light chains crumbling like glass.
“No!” Wolf Commander let out a desperate roar, sacrificing his star core with his last ounce of strength, attempting to block this fatal blow.
But before the Chaos Law infused with Star Realm energy, the early Celestial Immortal Realm star core was as fragile as paper.
“Puff!”
The moment the iron sword pierced the star core, Wolf Commander's body began to turn transparent, his immortal soul wailing as it dissipated in the chaotic energy.
This Star General of Qiming City ultimately perished within his most proud Star Suppressing Realm.
As the dust settled, White Night stood in the center of the deep pit, leaning on his iron sword, his green robe stained with blood but his posture tall and straight.
The area around the Star Combat Assembly was silent. After a few breaths, deafening cheers erupted. The cultivators gazed at the figure in the deep pit, their eyes filled with awe and fanaticism.
A True Immortal Realm cultivator slaying a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator was extremely rare in the history of the Nine Heavens Realm!
On the high platform, Ziwei Star Lord clapped his hands and laughed, “Good! What a White Night! This old man truly didn't misjudge you!” He waved his hand, sending out a golden light that landed on White Night. Wherever the golden light passed, his injuries healed at a visible speed. “The champion of the Star Combat Assembly is none other than you!”
White Night cupped his hands towards the high platform, about to speak, when he saw a streak of light flying from outside the Star Combat Assembly. The light landed and transformed into an old man in purple robes, who was none other than the keeper of the Star Mansion's library.
“Lord Mansion Master, this is bad!” the old man anxiously shouted. “The Star Devouring Pavilion's main altar sent a message, saying they will bloodbath Qiming City to avenge Wolf Commander and their deceased cultists!”
Ziwei Star Lord's expression instantly darkened. “A bunch of clowns, daring to be so presumptuous?”
“No, Lord Mansion Master,” the old man shook his head repeatedly. “The message said that the Star Devouring Pavilion Master himself is leading the team, accompanied by three Golden Immortal Realm elders!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.
The Golden Immortal Realm is a higher realm than the Celestial Immortal Realm, capable of invoking the laws of an entire star domain. The entire Qiming City couldn't find a single Golden Immortal Realm cultivator!
White Night's gaze also became solemn. He could feel a terrifying pressure rapidly approaching, hundreds of times stronger than Wolf Commander's Star Suppressing Realm.
Ziwei Star Lord took a deep breath and said to White Night, “White Night, the entrance to the Star Secret Realm is open. Take the young cultivators in the city and leave first.
This old man will hold them off here, trying to buy you time.”
“Lord Mansion Master...”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Ziwei Star Lord interrupted him, stuffing a jade slip into his hand. “This is the complete scroll of the Chaos Star Art, and the star map of Qiming City. Remember, staying alive is more important than anything!”
White Night gripped the jade slip, looked at Ziwei Star Lord's resolute back, then at the frightened cultivators around him, and finally nodded, “Take care.”
He summoned the Wind Howling Silver Wolf and called over several young cultivators who had performed outstandingly in the Star Combat Assembly, including the one-eyed old man who had warned him of the Star Devouring Pavilion's conspiracy.
Under the cover of the star crystals, everyone entered the underground through a secret passage in the Star Combat Assembly, fleeing towards the Star Secret Realm.
In the secret passage, the one-eyed old man looked at the jade slip in White Night's hand and exclaimed in shock, “This is... the legendary complete scroll of the Chaos Star Art? Mansion Master Zi actually gave you such a treasure?”
White Night nodded, “The Mansion Master said that staying alive is more important than anything.”
“Indeed.” The old man sighed. “Blood Without Sorrow, the Pavilion Master of the Star Devouring Pavilion, is a mighty expert in the mid-Golden Immortal Realm. It is said he cultivates the complete version of the Star Devouring Grand Art, capable of devouring the energy of an entire star domain.
Mansion Master Zi is probably...”
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the meaning. Earth-shattering explosions came from outside the secret passage, clearly indicating that the Star Devouring Pavilion had begun its assault on the city.
White Night quickened his pace, secretly vowing: he must quickly raise his cultivation, and in the future, he would avenge Ziwei Star Lord and raze the Star Devouring Pavilion!
Half an hour later, a light screen appeared at the end of the secret passage. A brilliant star river could vaguely be seen within the light screen.
It was the entrance to the Star Secret Realm. The secret realm contained the purest primordial star power of the Nine Heavens Realm, making it an excellent place to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
“Let's part ways here.” The one-eyed old man cupped his hands at White Night. “This old man needs to notify the Star Mansions in other star domains and expose the Star Devouring Pavilion's crimes. Fellow Daoist, take care.”
White Night nodded, watched the old man and the other cultivators enter the light screen, then stood at the entrance, looking towards Qiming City.
The explosions there had subsided. Perhaps Ziwei Star Lord had... he dared not think further, and turned to step into the Star Secret Realm.
The secret realm was a boundless star desert. The ground was covered with glowing star sand, and countless star fragments floated in the air.
The moment White Night stepped in, he felt dense primordial star power surge through his pores. His star core greedily absorbed this energy, emitting a buzzing resonance.
“The energy here is a hundred times purer than the Gathering Star Stone River!” A look of surprise flashed in White Night's eyes. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The complete scroll of the Chaos Star Art unfolded in his sea of consciousness, guiding the primordial star power to temper his star core, while also healing the injuries from the previous battle.
The Wind Howling Silver Wolf ran through the star desert, occasionally bringing back some crystals shimmering with colorful light.
These were “Star Marrow Crystals,” a specialty of the Star Secret Realm, containing the origin of laws and greatly beneficial to the immortal soul.
After an unknown amount of time, White Night's star core suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Under the transformation of Chaos Law, the primordial star power actually condensed into a cyan law imprint. The moment the imprint merged into his immortal soul, the barrier to the Celestial Immortal Realm shattered!
[Broke through to Early Celestial Immortal Realm]
[Obtained Law Divine Ability: Chaos Star Fall (Can draw upon the power of outer realm stars to attack)]
The moment of breakthrough, all the star sand in the entire Star Secret Realm vibrated violently. Countless streaks of starlight converged towards White Night, forming a giant illusory star map behind him.
This was the symbol of a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator drawing upon a Star Realm.
White Night opened his eyes, star rivers flowing within his pupils.
He could clearly feel that he had established a deeper connection with the Star Law of the Nine Heavens Realm. With a raise of his hand, he could draw upon the star power within a thousand-mile radius.
“Celestial Immortal Realm...” White Night clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him. “Blood Without Sorrow, Star Devouring Pavilion, just you wait.”
He stood up and walked towards the depths of the star desert.
The Star Secret Realm not only contained primordial star power but also ruins left by ancient cultivators. Perhaps he could find clues to deal with the Star Devouring Pavilion.
In the distant star mist, a floating palace could vaguely be seen, its outline shimmering in the starlight, as if awaiting the arrival of a fated person.
White Night knew that the trials of the Star Secret Realm had just begun, and his journey through the Nine Heavens Realm would also usher in a new turning point in this trial.
The power of the Celestial Immortal Realm gave him the capital to stand firm, but there was still a long way to go before he could uncover the truth of Earl Wind's disappearance and level the Star Devouring Pavilion.
His sword would be stained with even more brilliant light in this Star Secret Realm!
