882: The star core condensed, and the entire venue erupted in cheers.

As the energy storm slowly subsided, it was as if the finale of an intense symphony had arrived.

After the storm, Yue Shan's figure was revealed behind the fortress.

He was panting slightly, his chest heaving violently, but he stood as firm as a rock.

In the center of the fortress, Luo Xiu knelt on one knee, using his sword to support his tottering body. His Aura was gradually stabilizing, and his injuries seemed to show signs of slow recovery.

"This Aura, you are the same as him?!"

Seeing the newcomer, Xuanlian Monarch's expression became so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.

He stared fixedly at Yue Shan, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred, his voice cold and sharp.

"Just by relying on yourself, a Third Stage Late Stage, you dare to come seeking death?!"

Monarch Wan Yi looked at his damaged light wings, which had been magnificent but were now tattered and broken, with feathers falling everywhere. He was burning with rage, his voice thundering.

"Once I crush your turtle shell, I will make sure you wish for death but cannot die!"

The other monarchs were also seething with killing intent, their eyes flashing with fierce light.

Luo Xiu was at the end of his rope, and just as they were about to completely eliminate this major threat, they were forcibly blocked by this suddenly appearing guy with extremely strong defense!

To them, this was a great humiliation, just like having prey that was about to be caught suddenly snatched away.

However, just as they were preparing to gather their power again to forcibly break through Yue Shan's "Wan He Gui Cang" fortress —

Hum—!!!

An indescribable heartbeat fluctuation, seemingly originating from the Universe's Origin, came without warning from the deepest part of the Kunlun Mountains core area.

This fluctuation was not intense, but it carried an indescribable Aura of heaviness, antiquity, purity, and all-encompassing nature.

It was like an ancient deity sighing softly, piercing through the light screen of the core barrier. The light screen, which originally flashed with mysterious light, trembled slightly under this fluctuation.

It pierced through Yue Shan's seven-colored fortress, and the seven-colored light dimmed slightly due to this fluctuation.

It pierced through all the experts' protective energy. Those protective energies, like the surface of a lake brushed by a breeze, rippled and resonated directly in the depths of every living being's Soul.

All the experts who were fighting, confronting, or watching—whether it was the Nine Great Monarchs, Yue Shan, the Sequencer below, the Human Race and Yao Race experts, or Emperor Soul and others inside the Kunlun Core—suddenly froze in their actions, as if time had solidified at this moment.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, as if their bodies had been immobilized by this sudden fluctuation.

Immediately after, a light of indescribable color erupted suddenly from the deep underground of the core area.

The light was soft at first, like the dawn of a new day, carrying a trace of warmth and hope, but it instantly became incomparably brilliant, yet not blinding, instead carrying a soothing warmth.

Within the light, countless phantoms of stars being born and dying, nebulae swirling, and Laws intertwining flashed by, as if the mysteries of the Universe were briefly revealed in this instant.

An unimaginably pure energy Aura, seemingly containing the life essence of the entire planet and the mysteries of the Universe's birth, awakened like a sleeping giant beast and spread out with a roar. That Aura, like a surging tide, enveloped the entire Kunlun Mountains.

Star Core!

It was actually about to successfully condense at this moment!

At this moment, greed, desire, and fanaticism instantly replaced all killing intent and anger.

Whether it was the Nine Great Monarchs, the Human Race, the Yao Race, or even the insect race inside the core, their gazes instantly became incomparably burning, locking tightly onto the source of the light's eruption—the area finally guarded by the core barrier.

The temptation of the Star Core surpassed hatred and fear, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, attracting the gaze of every expert.

"Star Core! It's the Star Core!"

"It's finally done!"

"Seize it!"

After a brief silence, there was a fanatical roar like a mountain landslide and a tsunami.

Almost simultaneously, all existences possessing Monarch-level combat power, as well as those top experts of various races below who could no longer hold back, all made the same move.

Their eyes filled with madness and desire, they shifted their targets and unleashed their strongest attacks without reservation toward the huge barrier light screen enveloping the Kunlun Core area.

Xuanlian Monarch's Nirvana Lotus Petals turned into a black torrent. Those black petals, like sharp blades, streaked across the Void Realm, carrying an Aura that could destroy everything.

Monarch Wan Yi's spatial light blades sliced through the Void Realm. Under the cutting of the light blades, space appeared like broken glass, with cracks appearing one after another.

White Dragon Monarch's destructive Dragon breath condensed into a beam of light. That beam of light was like an angry Dragon, roaring as it charged toward the barrier.

The several Monarchs did not even bother with Yue Shan and Luo Xiu at this moment; after all, in front of the Star Core, everything else was just fleeting clouds.

Their previous attacks on Luo Xiu were merely to clear obstacles on the path to contending for the Star Core. Now, losing the opportunity for the sake of some grudges would not be worth the loss.

Moreover, in their view, as long as they obtained the Star Core, let alone Luo Xiu, anyone they disliked could be dealt with!

Among the Human Race experts, Phoenix King, Azure King, Prince Wuan, Andre, Constantine, Viktor, and Miles all attacked together.

They each unleashed powerful methods, and for a moment, light radiated everywhere and energy surged.

The Yao Race experts also revealed their true forms or unleashed their innate Divine Abilities. Energy beams streaked across the night sky like meteors, sharp claws tore at the Void Realm, and sound waves impacted the barrier's defense.

Countless attacks of various forms, yet all containing terrifying power, converged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, fiercely bombarding the light screen of the core barrier from all directions.

"Don't hold back, we must seize the Star Core!"

Shadow, looking at the Star Core above the firmament, was also excited. Now, not only had they saved Luo Xiu, but they could also contend for the Star Core.

Then they naturally had no more scruples. Once they contended for the Star Core, their mission could be successfully completed.

Yang Shuo and the others naturally also noticed the unusual movement of the Star Core, and almost the instant the other major forces attacked, they also attacked in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Rumble—!!!

Unprecedented terrifying explosions echoed continuously, and the entire Kunlun Mountains was wailing.

The ground collapsed crazily, and huge cracks appeared on the surface, as if the earth were groaning in pain.

Space was filled with cracks like a broken mirror, and fragments of space drifted in the Void Realm.

That core barrier light screen, which had once been indestructible and had guarded the core area for countless years, finally let out a groan of being unable to bear the burden under the combined bombardment of so many experts, especially several Monarch-level ones.

Crack! Crackle!

In just a few breaths, fine cracks instantly covered the entire surface of the light screen like a spider web.

The light dimmed rapidly, as if it were a sign that life was about to fade away.

"Break!!!"
