Killing Feather Star Palace

The sound of footsteps outside the hall grew closer, and the leader's aura carried a clear sense of oppression.

It was at least Peak Sixth Rank, significantly stronger than the one-eyed strongman from the Fire Hawk Civilization.

White Night stood sideways next to the hidden door, lightning silently flowing at his fingertips, ready to strike at any moment.

The first to step into the treasure hall were seven professionals clad in silver-white battle armor. The armor was carved with spread-out black wings, faint purple Star Power flowed along the edges of the wings, and the emblem on the chest was a longsword piercing through the wings.

This was the symbol of the Star Palace of Feather Assassins.

The Star Palace of Feather Assassins is a Super Force with countless experts, controlling four civilizations.

The young man leading them had a handsome face, but carried an air of condescending arrogance. A Star-Patterned Longsword hung at his waist. His brow furrowed slightly as his gaze swept over the corpses littering the floor.

"Trash from the Fire Hawk Civilization, couldn't even deal with a Level 400 Blue Star native?" The young man's voice was cold and metallic. When his gaze fell upon White Night, it was as if he were looking at an object. "Blue Star Civilization? You certainly have some guts, daring to kill people in the Eternal Sacred Ruins."

The members of the Star Palace of Feather Assassins behind him scoffed:

"Sir, this native probably doesn't know the prestige of our Star Palace of Feather Assassins, which is why he dares to be so presumptuous."

"We can crush him just like an ant."

"Let me teach him some manners, and show him the dignity of a Higher Civilization."

A short-haired woman stepped forward. She held a longbow condensed from Star Power, with three Black Feather Arrows notched on the string. The arrowheads gleamed with the cold light of Mid Sixth Rank: "Kid, cut off your own arms and kneel here to repent for three days. Perhaps Sir will spare your wretched life."

White Night's eyes grew slightly cold. The arrogance of this group surpassed that of the Fire Hawk Civilization.

He couldn't be bothered with pleasantries; he simply raised his hand.

The next moment.

Gray-black lightning condensed in his palm into a Lightning Thread as thin as hair, silently shooting toward the short-haired woman's longbow.

"Snap."

The bowstring snapped instantly, and the three feather arrows shot uncontrollably into the sky.

The short-haired woman's expression drastically changed. She looked at the longbow in her hand in disbelief: "How dare you destroy my weapon?!"

"Seeking death!" The two Peak Sixth Rank experts behind the young man attacked simultaneously. One summoned a Star Power Shield, enveloping White Night. The black wing patterns on the shield rotated, emitting power that restricted space.

The other swung his longsword, and countless Silver Star Lights fell like a meteor shower. Each star light contained sharpness capable of tearing through defenses.

A lightning pattern flashed beneath White Night's feet. Time-Space Thunder Step and the Law of Spatial Penetration activated simultaneously, and his figure directly penetrated the Star Power Shield, appearing behind the two experts.

The Eternal Demon Blade slashed horizontally. The gray-black lightning and faint golden Divinity on the blade intertwined, forming a horizontal Blade Light.

"Pfft!"

The two Sixth Rank experts didn't even have time to turn around before they were sliced into two by the Blade Light. The silver-white battle armor and the Star Power disintegrated, leaving only two twitching halves of corpses.

The arrogance on the young man's face instantly froze. He violently retreated three steps, drawing the Star-Patterned Longsword from its sheath. Nine Black Winged Phantoms appeared on the blade: "How dare you kill someone from my Star Palace of Feather Assassins?!"

"So what if I killed them?" White Night slowly approached, the Demigod Pressure surrounding him pressing down on the young man like a physical force. "What is the Star Palace of Feather Assassins? Is it impressive?"

The young man was forced to retreat repeatedly by the pressure, his face pale, yet he remained defiant: "Do you know the power of the Star Palace? Even if you are a Demigod, if you kill us, the Star Palace Elders will tear you into ten thousand pieces and wipe out your civilization too!"

"Then let them try." White Night's Blade Light was already touching the young man's throat. "Now, you can choose how you die."

A flicker of fear crossed the young man's eyes. He hadn't expected this Blue Star native to be so powerful.

He was only Level 400, yet he possessed the Demigod Title!

This was simply unbelievable!

Only the Heaven's Chosen in the Star Palace should possess such strength!

But the pride of the Star Palace of Feather Assassins prevented him from begging for mercy. He just gripped his longsword tightly, seemingly intending to make a final struggle.

White Night gave him no chance. The Blade Light flashed, and the young man's head rolled to the ground, his eyes still holding remnants of incredible shock.

The remaining four members of the Star Palace of Feather Assassins were terrified out of their wits. They turned to flee but were struck by four bolts of lightning White Night casually threw out, their bodies turning into charcoal amid the lightning light.

After dealing with everyone, White Night walked to the center of the treasure hall, drawing his fingertip across the bloodstain on the ground.

The blood of the Star Palace of Feather Assassins members carried faint Star Power fluctuations, similar to the Starfall Civilization of the Lei Jin World, but purer.

"A Super Force that controls four civilizations..." He noted this force in his mind, then turned and pushed open the hidden door, continuing deeper into the secret chamber.

More Runes were carved on the stone wall of the secret chamber. These Runes combined to form a map, marking a "Nine Star Secret Realm" deep within the Eternal Sacred Ruins, whose core contained clues to the source of divine evil.

White Night memorized the map, packed up the 120,000 bottles of Mythical-grade Potions, and left the treasure hall.

Following the map's guidance, he passed through a canyon filled with Divine Evil Creatures. The strength of these creatures ranged from Early Sixth Rank to Peak Sixth Rank... The rock walls on both sides of the canyon were covered with thick, gray-white moss, beneath which faint purple, vein-like patterns were vaguely visible.

As soon as White Night stepped into the canyon, the sound of bones grinding came from the mist ahead.

Three Divine Evil Creatures appeared simultaneously. Their forms were slightly different from those encountered before; their bodies were covered in Dark Golden Scales.

The Bone Blades in their hands were wrapped in faint gray mist, and their aura reached Mid Sixth Rank.

The leading Divine Evil Creature charged first, its Bone Blade leaving an afterimage as it cleaved directly toward White Night's face.

White Night sidestepped to avoid it. The Eternal Demon Blade followed the momentum, slashing toward its wrist. The blade collided with the scales, sending sparks flying.

The scales of this Divine Evil Creature were several times harder than the previous ones. The blade only cut half an inch deep before getting stuck.

Using the resistance, the Divine Evil Creature transformed its left arm into a Bone Spear, stabbing toward White Night's ribs. The spearhead flickered with gray-black Corrosive Light.

Lightning patterns flowed beneath White Night's feet, and his figure shifted five zhang sideways. While dodging the Bone Spear, three rotating Lightning Rings condensed in his palm.

The Lightning Rings shot out like throwing stars, accurately hitting the joints of the Divine Evil Creature, where the scales were relatively weaker.

The Lightning Rings exploded. Gray-black lightning spread along the joints, causing the Divine Evil Creature's movements to momentarily slow down.

In that instant, White Night's figure appeared behind it. The Eternal Demon Blade was infused with Demigod Power, and the blade glowed with faint golden light, piercing the Divine Evil Creature's back and reaching its core.

The Divine Evil Creature's body suddenly stiffened. The Dark Golden Scales rapidly lost their luster and scattered into ash.

On the ground, a Dark Golden Treasure Chest emerged from the ashes. The box was carved with Twisted Bone Patterns and emitted a Star Radiance-grade aura.

White Night put away the treasure chest and turned his attention to the other two Divine Evil Creatures.

The remaining two Divine Evil Creatures did not back down. They stood shoulder to shoulder, their Bone Blades crossed into a cross shape. The gray mist around them suddenly condensed, forming a Translucent Barrier.

Energy fluctuations of Peak Sixth Rank flowed across the barrier, clearly indicating a Combined Attack Skill.

White Night did not rush to attack. Instead, he observed the patterns on the barrier and found regular gaps in its energy flow.

He suddenly accelerated, his figure darting around the two Divine Evil Creatures. The Eternal Demon Blade continuously hacked at the barrier, each attack landing precisely on an energy gap.

The barrier rippled under the continuous impact, and tiny cracks appeared.

Seeing this, the two Divine Evil Creatures increased their energy output, and the barrier's light became solid once more.

But White Night's attack rhythm was faster. Blade Lights rained down on the cracks, and finally, during one of the energy flow gaps, he split open a breach.

The moment the breach appeared, White Night's figure had already passed through the barrier. The Eternal Demon Blade swung left and right, simultaneously slashing toward the necks of the two Divine Evil Creatures.

The sound of the Bone Blades hitting the ground almost overlapped. The heads of the two Divine Evil Creatures rolled away, and their bodies disintegrated in the lightning.

On the ground, two more Star Radiance-grade treasure chests appeared, containing materials for strengthening the Thunder Law.

Continuing deeper into the canyon, the density of Divine Evil Creatures increased, and their strength gradually rose.

Some Peak Sixth Rank Divine Evil Creatures could manipulate the surrounding gray mist to form Illusions, attempting to confuse White Night's senses, but they were directly shattered by the Divine Lightning within him.

Other Divine Evil Creatures had bodies as large as small mountains, their limbs covered in thick Bone Armor. Every stomp shook the ground. White Night utilized the flexibility of Time-Space Thunder Step to circle behind them and attack the vulnerable spine.

The battle lasted for dozens of rounds. White Night had slain over a hundred Divine Evil Creatures, and his backpack now contained twenty-seven Star Radiance-grade treasure chests and five Dazzling Moon-grade Treasure Chests.

Most of these treasure chests contained materials for strengthening equipment and insights for comprehending laws. One Dazzling Moon-grade Treasure Chest even held a "Divine Source Crystal" capable of increasing the purity of Divinity.

Passing through the stone gate at the end of the canyon, the scene ahead suddenly widened, and a circular plaza appeared before his eyes.

On the high platform in the center of the plaza stood a Divine Evil Creature he had never seen before.

Its figure was three times larger than an ordinary Divine Evil Creature, and its entire body was covered in Dark Purple Crystals. Although its face still lacked features, two gray-black streams of light could be seen flowing in its eye sockets. It held a Massive Blade forged from fused crystals and Bone Remnants, and the blade emitted a terrifying aura of Early Seventh Rank.

As soon as this Divine Evil Creature appeared, the surrounding space began to solidify, and even White Night's Thunder Law was suppressed.

It did not attack immediately, merely standing on the high platform, the gray-black streams of light in its eye sockets slowly rotating.

"Seventh Rank Divine Evil Creature..." White Night gripped the Eternal Demon Blade tightly, and the Divine Lightning Core within him began to operate at high speed.

This was the first time he faced a Seventh Rank enemy. The opponent's aura was significantly stronger than Peak Sixth Rank, and the energy fluctuations on the Massive Blade could even tear apart his Lightning Domain.

The Divine Evil Creature finally moved. It took one step, the high platform instantly cracked, and its figure appeared before White Night as if Shrinking the Ground into an Inch. The Massive Blade cleaved down with the might of shattering heaven and earth, and the air currents stirred up by the blade wind scraped a deep trench into the ground.

White Night dared not be careless. He activated all the power within him, faint golden lightning appeared on his body surface, and his figure turned into an afterimage, dodging the sharp edge of the Massive Blade. However, he was still thrown back by the air currents, crashing into the stone wall at the edge of the plaza, and a trace of metallic sweetness rose in his throat.

"I truly cannot be careless." White Night wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze becoming serious.

The speed and power of the Seventh Rank Divine Evil Creature far surpassed the Sixth Rank. The energy on the Massive Blade could even suppress his Law of Spatial Penetration.

The Divine Evil Creature's attacks came one after another. The Massive Blade swept across, carrying dense gray Blade Light that covered a hundred zhang radius around White Night.

White Night slightly separated his feet, holding the Eternal Demon Blade vertically in front of him. The gray-black lightning and faint golden Divinity on the blade intertwined to form a Spiral Defensive Barrier.

The Blade Light slammed into the barrier, creating a deafening roar. The barrier trembled violently, showing dense cracks, but ultimately did not break.

Taking advantage of the gap in the Divine Evil Creature's attack, White Night actively launched a counterattack.

He pushed [Thunder: Domain Fall] to the limit. The gray-black Lightning Domain instantly expanded to a hundred zhang. The lightning blades within the domain carried Spatial Fissures, frantically cutting at the Divine Evil Creature's Crystal Shell.

The Divine Evil Creature let out a silent roar, plunging the Massive Blade into the ground. Countless Crystal Spikes suddenly erupted from the plaza, stabbing toward White Night from all directions. The gray-black energy on the spikes could directly corrode Divinity.

White Night's figure moved through the gaps between the spikes, the Eternal Demon Blade continuously slashing at the Divine Evil Creature's joints.

He discovered that although this Divine Evil Creature's Crystal Shell was hard, the crystal density was significantly lower at the joint connections.

After three consecutive slashes at the same joint, he finally cleaved a breach in the crystal. Gray-black lightning surged into the breach, and the Divine Evil Creature's movements showed obvious sluggishness.

"Now is the time."

White Night took a deep breath. The Primordial Lightning Core and Divine Lightning Core within him erupted simultaneously. The Eternal Demon Blade's body surged to ten zhang long, the Blade Light condensing all his power and laws.

"Thunder: Crescent Moon Slash."

The Blade Light, carrying the might of tearing space, slashed directly at the Divine Evil Creature's neck.

The gray-black streams of light in the Divine Evil Creature's eyes suddenly surged. The Massive Blade defended, colliding with the Blade Light.

After an earth-shattering crash, a clear crack appeared on the Divine Evil Creature's Massive Blade, and White Night's Blade Light also dissipated inch by inch.

He was shaken back dozens of zhang, his feet plowing two deep trenches into the ground. His arms were numb, and the Divine Lightning within him experienced a momentary disorder.

Where the Divine Evil Creature's neck was, most of the Dark Purple Crystals had shattered, revealing the gray-white bone underneath, but the wound was healing at a visible speed.

It stared at White Night, raising the Massive Blade again. This time, the gray-black energy on the blade condensed into a gigantic ball of light, clearly preparing to unleash a Killing Move.

White Night gave it no chance. Combining Time-Space Thunder Step with the Law of Spatial Penetration, his figure instantly appeared at the Divine Evil Creature's wound. The Eternal Demon Blade was once again infused with Demigod Power, piercing through the breach and directly reaching the creature's core.

The Divine Evil Creature's body suddenly froze. The gray-black streams of light in its eye sockets rapidly dimmed. The Massive Blade clattered onto the ground. The Dark Purple Crystals rapidly disintegrated, centering on the wound, finally turning into light particles filling the sky, leaving behind only a Dark Golden Key carved with a Nine Stars Surrounding Pattern.

White Night picked up the key, felt the turbulent energy within him, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

The strength of the Seventh Rank Divine Evil Creature far exceeded expectations. This battle nearly exhausted half of his Divine Lightning, but it also gave him a clearer understanding of Seventh Rank combat power.

After resting for a moment, he followed the map's guidance, passing through the passage behind the plaza. The mist ahead grew thicker, and the energy fluctuations in the air became purer.

After walking for about half an hour, the mist suddenly dispersed, and a Star Gate suspended in the void appeared before his eyes.

The Star Gate was supported by nine stone pillars carved with stars. Each pillar was inlaid with a glittering crystal, corresponding to different Law Attributes.

In the center of the Star Gate, the four ancient Runes for "Nine Star Secret Realm" were faintly visible, and the key obtained from the Seventh Rank Divine Evil Creature was emitting a light that resonated with the Star Gate.

He gripped the key and walked step by step toward the Star Gate, preparing to step into the secret realm before him...
