145: Chapter 145 The Starry Sky World!!

Chapter 145: Star River World!!

Below Sacred Martial Mountain, outside the massive light gate of the Taixu Secret Realm, a deathly silence had fallen. Only the booming sounds of two figures clashing on the light screen, as if piercing through an invisible barrier, dully echoed in everyone's hearts.

Everyone's gaze was fixed, as if by a magnet, on the colossal projection that occupied half the sky.

The scene depicted was the duel on the ninety-second floor!

“Hiss... that Ning Yuan, he's actually fighting Ji Xuan to a standstill?!”

“That's Ji Xuan! The Divine Son of the Eastern Desolation Ji Family, born with the Void Sword Body, a terrifying existence known as 'sword out without shadow, killing without form'!”

“Indeed! Among the ‘Eight Kings’, Ji Xuan's offensive power definitely ranks in the top three! Especially his Void Sword Dao, even old generation powerhouses would find it troublesome!”

“But now... look! Not only did Ning Yuan block it, he even... seems to be fighting quite easily?”

Amidst the crowd, exclamations and gasps rose and fell.

They originally thought that while Ning Yuan was strong, facing a peerless Prodigy of the ‘Eight Kings’ level, he would eventually show signs of defeat, or at least be trapped in a bitter struggle.

But reality slapped them hard!

In the image, the black-faced youth (though everyone now knew it was Ning Yuan) moved like a Dragon, his fists erupting with golden light as he swung them. He actually used a pair of bare fists to directly clash with Ji Xuan's sharp Void Divine Sword!

Each collision unleashed ripples of energy that shattered the surrounding Void Realm inch by inch!

The visual impact was simply hair-raising!

“Too strong! Is this guy's Physical Body made of True Dragon or divine metal? He dares to take on an Emperor Armament Prototype head-on?”

“A stalemate! It's actually a stalemate!”

“Incredible... does this Ning Yuan really possess the strength to contend for a spot among the ‘Eight Kings’?”

However, just when everyone thought this battle would turn into a prolonged war of attrition...

The situation suddenly changed!

In the image, Ji Xuan clearly realized the awkwardness of his prolonged attack yielding no results. He no longer held back and unleashed his strongest trump card — Void Sword Domain!

Thousands of invisible Sword Qi instantly enveloped the entire area, as if to completely shred that space into nothingness!

Through the light screen, everyone seemed to feel the suffocating and cutting sensation, as if in the next second, the youth would be cut into a thousand pieces, turning into a sky full of blood mist!

Many timid students even instinctively closed their eyes, not daring to watch the gruesome scene that was about to unfold.

But, at this critical moment!

Ning Yuan moved!

He neither dodged nor defended, but slowly spread his arms, as if embracing this world, or perhaps... opening a new era!

His lips moved slightly, uttering those words that made heaven and earth change color—

“Star River World · Open!”

Boom!!!

With his low roar, the scene on the light screen was instantly engulfed by an extremely brilliant starlight!

It was no longer ordinary starlight, but a real, boundless Cosmic Starry Sky!

Countless great stars rotated and came into being within it, each emitting an ancient and vast aura, as if containing the weight of a Small World!

As soon as this starry sky appeared, it forcefully squeezed into Ji Xuan's “Void Sword Domain” with an overbearing and unstoppable posture!

In fact, it didn't just squeeze in!

It... covered! Swallowed! Assimilated!

The Sword Domain space, originally filled with murderous intent and sharp Qi, at this moment, seemed to encounter a gigantic abyssal maw, being devoured and replaced bit by bit!

“What kind of technique is this?!”

“A Domain? No! This is even more Advanced than a Domain! This... this is practically like an independent Small World!”

“My heavens! He... nurtured a Star River within his body?!”

The spectators outside were completely frenzied!

In the eyes of the five deans, an unprecedented brilliance erupted, and their bodies involuntarily leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the youth in the image.

“This is... theprototype of Law!”

“No! This is the power of a 'Realm'!”

Dean Zhuang Chen's voice trembled slightly.

To be able to touch this level of power at the Sun Realm (even though Ning Yuan had just achieved a Breakthrough) completely exceeded their understanding!

This was a supreme Realm only occasionally mentioned in the legendary Saint's handbooks!

Inside the ninety-second floor of the Divine Tower.

Ji Xuan's feelings were a thousand, ten thousand times more intense than those of the audience outside!

The moment that Star River scroll unfolded before him, he felt as if he had instantly fallen from a high and mighty Sword God to an ant in the mortal dust!

His proud “Void Sword Domain”, those countless invisible Sword Qi capable of cutting through metal and jade, in front of this vast Star River, were like mud oxen thrown into the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace!

All Sword Intent, all sharpness, were forcibly obliterated by the thick, majestic, and seemingly eternal power of the stars!

“What... what the hell is this?!”

“My Sword Domain... my Sword Domain has actually failed?!”

Ji Xuan screamed in terror, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair!

He felt as if the space around him had solidified, an irresistible gravity pressing down on him, making it incredibly difficult for him to even lift a finger!

Here, in this “Star River World”, all his Law comprehension was stripped away, and all his advantages vanished!

Even the primal Qi within his body seemed to be frozen, its circulation sluggish!

It was as if...

He had intruded into someone else's home ground, entered someone else's “Divine Kingdom”!

Here, Ning Yuan was the sole Dominator! The God who set the rules!

“What? Panicking already?”

Ning Yuan's figure slowly emerged from the boundless starlight.

He stepped on the Star River, surrounded by swirling nebulae, like a Starry Sky Great Emperor inspecting the heavens!

He looked at the terrified Ji Xuan, a playful smirk curving his lips.

“Weren't you quite arrogant just now?”

“Weren't you going to make all swords return to their origin?”

“Come on! Keep going!”

“Let me see if your so-called Void Sword Dao can cut through my Star River!”

Ji Xuan's face was pale. He gritted his teeth, attempting to once again activate his Sword Intent to counterattack.

“I don't believe it! Break for me!”

He roared, frantically swinging the ancient sword in his hand, trying to cut through this damned restraint!

However.

Ning Yuan merely raised his hand lightly and pressed it towards him from afar.

“Suppress!”
