295: Chapter 295 In the Palace

Chu Lan's figure was like a fluttering butterfly, constantly weaving around those two giant rhinos, planting Star-glowing Formation Flags into the ground one by one!

Su Ning's gaze was like a torch as invisible spatial blades silently slashed toward the Meteor Star Power constantly gathering around the two giant rhinos!

Tian Xin, meanwhile, had already tightly gripped several of the most powerful star demon suppressing talismans and meteorite blasting talismans in her hands, waiting for the optimal moment to strike!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out!

"Roar!"

Those two Meteorite Giant Rhinos, one attacking and one defending, coordinated with seamless perfection!

One of them once again condensed that violent Meteor Star Power, aiming its massive rhino horn—which was like a divine Sharp Weapon—at Gao Feng for a death-defying charge!

The other remained by its side, alertly guarding against any sneak attacks from the others!

Gao Feng did not retreat in the slightest!

Holding his vajra sword, he took the initiative to meet the charge!

Clang—!

An ear-piercing metallic collision sound exploded violently!

Sparks flew in all directions!

Gao Feng only felt an unimaginably terrifying force transmit through the blade of the sword!

His entire arm was shaken to the point of numbness!

However, he still did not retreat half a step!

He knew he couldn't retreat!

Once he retreated, the teammates behind him would immediately be exposed to the attack range of those two terrifying giant beasts!

He took a deep breath, pushing his incomparably formidable Physical Body strength to its absolute limit!

"Hellfire Burns the Heavens · Enhanced Version!"

He gave up using the vajra sword for parrying, instead concentrating all his power into his right fist!

Streams of pale purple Meteor Star Power frantically wrapped around his knuckles!

He intended to use this pair of iron fists, capable of shattering mountains, to strike head-on against that indestructible Physical Body composed of Meteorite Essence Iron!

He threw a punch, smashing it hard toward the center of one giant rhino's forehead!

This punch gathered all the spiritual Qi of his Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage cultivation!

It gathered the full amplification of the initial stage Star Battle Body!

It gathered all the strength of his formidable Physical Body!

Bang—!

A dull, heavy thud!

On that giant rhino's incredibly hard body made of pure Meteorite Essence Iron, a clearly visible crack was actually smashed open by his earth-shattering punch!

"Roar—!"

The giant rhino, in its pain, let out a world-shaking roar of agony!

The previously stable Meteor Star Power around its body instantly became chaotic!

"A good Opportunity!"

Seeing its companion wounded, the other giant rhino immediately abandoned its defense, its cold-glinting horn stabbing directly toward Gao Feng's chest!

A cold smile of a successful scheme appeared at the corner of Gao Feng's mouth!

What he wanted was exactly this Opportunity!

He suddenly twisted his body, avoiding that fatal strike at an extremely perilous angle!

At the same time, the vajra sword in his hand slashed out in one smooth motion!

On the sword's blade, the brilliant meteorite patterns collided fiercely with the giant rhino's horn!

Crack!

A crisp sound!

That hard horn, capable of piercing through anything, actually had a large piece hacked off by his sword strike!

"Now is the time! Strike!"

Gao Feng shouted explosively!

"Suppress!"

Tian Xin's star demon suppressing talisman, as if it had eyes, precisely stuck itself onto the crack on the wounded rhino's forehead!

Streams of pure purification power surged frantically into its body!

"Slash!"

Su Ning's Spatial Cutting Technique also slashed toward the four limbs and joints of the two giant rhinos, greatly restricting their mobility!

"Trap!"

Chu Lan's Star Trapping Formation also completely took shape at this most critical moment!

Chains composed of star power erupted from beneath the ground, tightly binding the two already chaotic giant rhinos in place!

And Lin Yue also seized this Opportunity, pushing the star tortoise shell to its limit, transforming it into a heavy, earthy-yellow light shield that slammed hard into one of the giant rhinos, cooperating with Chu Lan's trapping Formation to completely suppress it until it couldn't move!

"Break!"

Luo Li's zither music also became increasingly intense and high-pitched at this same time!

The piercing sound waves, like invisible sharp swords, stabbed fiercely into the Divine Soul of the two giant rhinos, causing the Meteor Star Power within them to lose control completely!

"Die!"

Gao Feng seized this once-in-a-lifetime, excellent Opportunity!

He circulated all the power in his body, turning the vajra sword in his hand into a brilliant stream of light, stabbing it fiercely into the crack on the forehead of one of the giant rhinos!

Puchi!

Streams of pale purple Meteor Star Power surged frantically into the giant rhino's body along the tip of the sword!

The giant rhino's body instantly stiffened in place.

Immediately after, with an unwilling mournful cry, it crashed to the ground, turning into a shower of Meteorite Essence Iron and pure Meteor Star Power!

"Roar—!"

The other giant rhino, after seeing its companion fall, completely descended into a frenzy!

Disregarding everything, it broke free from the Star Trapping Formation's shackles, condensing all the Meteor Star Power in its body together into a massive meteorite light pillar capable of piercing heaven and earth, frantically striking toward Gao Feng!

However, this time, Gao Feng did not dodge or avoid it!

He erupted his initial stage Star Battle Body to an unprecedented peak state!

His bones and his spiritual Qi perfectly fused together at this moment!

He wanted to use his own body to take this world-destroying final blow head-on!

Boom—!

The massive meteorite light pillar slammed fiercely into Gao Feng's body!

However, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere did not occur!

After that violent Meteor Star Power surged into Gao Feng's body, instead of blowing him apart, it acted as if it had found an outlet, frantically helping him charge against the solid barrier leading to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Late Stage!

"Break... for me!"

Gao Feng let out a world-shaking roar of fury!

He threw a punch, directly smashing the last Meteorite Giant Rhino—which had already exhausted all its strength—into scattered fragments!

Both rhinos had fallen!

And Gao Feng, under the nourishment of that endless Meteor Star Power, successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Late Stage!

The Fusion between his bones and the Star Battle Body reached a brand new height!

The star patterns on his skin became deeper and more mysterious!

His spiritual Qi's power and Physical Body's combat strength stepped onto a brand new level once again!

The current him was enough to easily contend with a genuine Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage Cultivator!

And the members of the team, under the nourishment of that pure Meteor Star Power, also saw their cultivation rise significantly once again!

Su Ning and Yao Guang both broke through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer Late Stage!

Tian Xin also completely stabilized her Foundation Establishment Layer Two, Mid-Stage cultivation!

As for Luo Li and Chu Lan, they both even touched that solid barrier leading to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Early Stage!

Lin Yue, relying on his formidable defensive power and his insights into the Meteor Star Power during the battle, successfully stabilized his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Layer Two, Mid-Stage; his Physical Body strength was even comparable to a Foundation Establishment Third Layer Early Stage Cultivator, making him the sturdiest shield in the team second only to Gao Feng!

When those two mountain-like Meteorite Giant Rhinos crashed to the ground and turned into pure Meteor Star Power, the magnificent hall doors that had been sealed for endless ages finally opened their mysterious embrace to Gao Feng's team without reservation.

An aura of life and Meteor Star Power, more than ten times denser than before and pure to the extreme, rushed toward them from behind those dark hall doors.

Just taking a deep breath allowed everyone's spiritual Qi, which had been heavily consumed in the fierce battle just now, to receive a massive supplement.

"Let's go, we're going in."

Gao Feng glanced at the Meteorite Essence Iron scattered on the ground, shining with brilliant light, but did not rush to collect it.

He knew that compared to the Opportunities that might exist within this great hall, these were merely appetizers.

He led the team, carrying a hint of reverence and excitement, as they slowly stepped into the Meteorite Core Hall that existed only in ancient legends.

The space inside the hall was far broader than they had imagined.

Upon the dome, countless brilliant crystals like true stars were embedded, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daylight.

On the walls, which were as smooth as mirrors, were carved giant murals filled with an aura of vicissitudes and tragic heroism.

The first mural depicted a massive meteorite streaking through the sky in endless darkness and falling upon a desolate land.

The second mural depicted the descent of the Myriad Races; they enslaved the weak, newly-born humans on this land, treating them as the lowest-level food and slaves.

The third mural depicted an unyielding human ancestor who, in despair, accidentally discovered the mysterious power contained within that extraterrestrial meteorite. He created the first generation of the Star Battle Body and led humanity to blow the horn of resistance.

The fourth mural depicted a series of bloody battles that were tragic to the extreme. Countless human ancestors, in that long-lasting war, followed one after another, using their own flesh and blood to pave a road to freedom for future generations.

The fifth mural depicted humanity finally grasping the true secrets of Meteor Star Power; they created even more powerful Formations and even more profound combat methods, finally completely driving those overbearing Myriad Races out of this home that belonged to them!

Each mural was lifelike and filled with an indescribable visual impact.

They silently told the story of that magnificent epic of struggle belonging to ancient humans, which had long been submerged in the long river of history.

Their already firm determination to repel the Myriad Races and protect their home became even more unbreakable at this moment!

Looking at these murals, every member of Gao Feng's team felt a wave of shock and resonance from the depths of their Souls.

And in the very center of that magnificent hall was a giant altar dozens of zhang high, carved from the highest quality Meteorite Purple Crystal.
