810: Chapter leads the soul into the dream, no difference
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Brilliant stars slammed into the towering Sand Guardian Shield!
Earth-shattering explosions erupted one after another, blinding light and swirling sand mixed together, forming a chaotic energy storm.
The immense force of the colliding stars blasted huge craters into the shield's surface, even piercing through it.
But the Sand Guardian's power seemed inexhaustible; from beneath the earth and within the air, more sand was frantically drawn, replenished, and reassembled.
The shattered sand did not dissipate; instead, under the Sand Guardian's control, it transformed into a denser, sharper tornado of sand blades!
Against the direction of the falling stars, like a torrent composed of billions of miniature Flying Swords, it fiercely twisted towards the Dream Master in the sky!
"Oh? Interesting."
The Dream Master stood beneath the river of stars, his white robes fluttering, and the starlight in his masked eyes swirled, showing a hint of surprise.
Facing the sand blade storm, which was powerful enough to grind even refined gold into dust, he did not dodge, but simply raised his right hand slightly.
"Stellar Vortex, rotate."
As his words fell, the dark starry sky forcibly summoned above his head suddenly began to rotate.
It wasn't the stars moving, but the entire "starry sky" background, like a giant millstone, began to churn!
The trajectories of the falling and yet-to-fall stars were instantly twisted and pulled, forming a massive, slowly rotating, brilliant Stellar Vortex around the Dream Master.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—!
The storm torrent composed of billions of sand blades violently crashed into the rotating Stellar Vortex.
The expected head-on explosion did not occur; those incomparably sharp sand blades seemed to sink into a viscous Universe quagmire.
The immense gravitational field generated by the Stellar Vortex's rotation and the distorted spatial forces forcibly altered the trajectory and impact direction of the sand blade storm.
Some of the sand blades were flung away by the immense centrifugal force, like out-of-control bullet rain, shooting in all directions, plowing bottomless ravines into distant mountains and ground, sending dust soaring into the sky.
Another part was torn and squeezed by the powerful gravity within the Stellar Vortex, crushed into the most primitive dust particles, shimmering with faint starlight before dissipating.
The Sand Guardian's massive sand body trembled slightly; clearly, his connection with these sand blades was forcibly severed or even annihilated, which was not without impact on him.
His blurred face turned towards the Dream Master, his voice, raspy from grinding sand, carried solemnity: "Your strength is not bad, but on this land, sand is eternal!"
"Sea of Sand's Descent!"
The Sand Guardian's enormous sandy body suddenly sank downwards, his feet deeply embedded in the Kunlun Mountains' rock.
An even more terrifying, deeper earthy-yellow light, centered on him, rapidly spread out like ripples!
Buzz!
Wherever the light reached, space seemed to solidify and become a hundred times heavier!
Whether it was the Great Xia Alliance members observing the battle, or Su Sen and the others setting up the teleportation array further away, or even the lingering energy ripples from the five powerful cultivators battling in the distance, everyone felt their bodies sink slightly.
Even more terrifying, the ground covered by the light was no longer solid earth, but instantly liquefied and turned into sand!
The entire area, including the space beneath the Dream Master's feet, transformed into a boundless, bottomless quicksand vortex emitting a terrifying suction force!
This was not an illusion, but the Sand Guardian, with himself as the core, combined with this section of the Kunlun Mountains, forcibly transforming a real space into a deathly Sea of Sand that devoured everything!
The powerful gravitational field and the quicksand's pulling force were enough to drag any powerful enemy into the earth's core!
The Dream Master's white robe's hem was instantly pulled by an invisible, heavy force, and his entire body swayed slightly, as if about to be dragged into the abyss by this sudden "Domain."
The rotation of the Stellar Vortex also abruptly became sluggish and slow, its starlight dimming.
"Domain? Heh."
The Dream Master let out an enigmatic chuckle, but the gaze beneath his mask remained as calm as a deep pool.
"When it comes to Domains, my Virtual God Realm is truly the first! A mere Sea of Sand, does it think it can trap my Star Dream?"
"Soul Entrancement into Dream!"
"Starfall—Traceless!"
An invisible Domain erupted from his body like a volcano, and he no longer maintained the Stellar Vortex, but instead slammed his hands downwards!
In an instant, the rotating dark starry sky above his head abruptly stopped, and then, all the remaining stars, along with the darkness itself, crashed down towards the massive quicksand vortex below, as if the firmament was collapsing!
This time, it was no longer a point-like attack like a meteor shower, but the entire "sky" falling down!
The vast power of the stars no longer dispersed but condensed into an extremely heavy "Star Curtain" that covered the entire Sea of Sand Domain!
Rumble!!!
An indescribable impact occurred.
The collapsing Star Curtain and the devouring Sea of Sand, two equally vast and boundless forces, collided head-on!
There was no violent explosion, only a dull roar that made hearts feel like they would crack.
Space, like crumpled cloth, violently twisted and vibrated, emitting groans of unbearable strain.
Blinding light erupted at the point of impact, instantly engulfing the figures of the Dream Master and the Sand Guardian, and simultaneously spreading wildly in all directions.
Wherever the light passed, both the Sea of Sand's gravitational field and the Star Curtain's oppressive force were temporarily pushed aside by this destructive shockwave.
The Kunlun Mountains trembled violently, countless mountain peaks silently turning to dust under this invisible impact.
The light persisted for several breaths before slowly dissipating.
The area covered by the Sea of Sand now presented a terrifying sight.
At the center of the massive quicksand vortex, a bottomless, enormous crater had been forcibly smashed, its edges solidified into glass-like sand crystals—the result of being instantly melted and then cooled by the extreme power of the stars.
And the collapsed Star Curtain had shattered into countless massive meteor fragments, burning with starlight, scattered within the crater, still emitting terrifying high temperatures and radiation.
The sky returned to its original gloom, the Dream Master still floated in mid-air in his white robes, though the starlight surrounding him was slightly thinner.
Opposite him, the Sand Guardian's massive sandy body had visibly shrunk by a circle, with even subtle cracks appearing in some areas.
But the core sand was still slowly flowing and repairing itself. The ground beneath his feet was no longer quicksand, but an incredibly solid, vitrified giant pit where the impact had occurred.
The two faced each other from a distance; although their Auras fluctuated, they remained powerful and stable.
"What a 'Starfall Traceless'!"
The Sand Guardian's voice carried the raspy sound of grinding sand, yet his Battle Intent grew stronger, "You are the first to directly break through my Sea of Sand's Descent!"
The Dream Master lightly brushed his sleeve, as if flicking away non-existent dust, his voice coming through the mask, showing no discernible emotion.
"Your sand is also hard enough. It seems not all of you are mediocre."
After a brief verbal exchange, the Aura around both of them surged again.
Beside the Sand Guardian, denser, more violent sand began to condense, subtly forming the rudimentary shapes of countless giant sand beasts.
And behind the Dream Master, the shadowy outline of the dark starry sky slowly reappeared, points of starlight re-illuminating, even more brilliant than before, as if new stars were being conceived.
The fierce battle was far from over!
