75: A fierce battle?

“ROAR—!!!”

The roar of the Demon General Corpse sounded like the wailing of billions of wronged Souls, shaking the entire dark red basin violently!

Its sole remaining crimson demon eye locked onto Lin Jingyu, burning with monstrous malice and destructive desire!

The massive demonic body, bound by chains, twisted and struggled madly. The black bone armor covering it clanged loudly, and viscous, dark red demonic blood seeped out from the gaps in the armor like lava!

Guided by the secret technique Yin Jiuyou was secretly activating, the altar's demonic runes burst into blood-red light, frantically drawing the Demonic Malice power from the entire Secret Realm and pouring it into the Demon General Corpse like a flood!

The black chains binding it let out a grating "creak," stretched to their limit. The blood-red demonic runes flickering across them seemed ready to snap at any moment!

An aura deeper and more terrifying than before, like an awakened Primordial Vicious Beast, erupted violently from within the Demon General Corpse!

The pressure, infinitely close to the Dharma Aspect Realm, caused space itself to twist and groan!

“Jie jie jie! Lord Demon Corpse! Break free! Crush this bug!” Yin Jiuyou lay on the ground, his withered face flushed with fanaticism and sickness. Black blood constantly spilled from his mouth, yet he frantically continued to activate the secret technique!

He wanted this Demon Corpse to go completely berserk, break its restraints, and unleash true Dharma Aspect power!

“ant! Die!!!”

The Demon General Corpse abruptly raised its bone claw, which was dripping with demonic blood! This time, it was no longer a simple physical attack!

Viscous, dark red demonic light, tangible as substance, frantically gathered and compressed in the center of the bone claw's palm, forming a constantly rotating Vortex of Destruction that swallowed all light!

At the center of the vortex, a point of ultimate darkness, like a black hole, emitted an aura of death that froze the Soul!

“Demonic Malice Annihilation Wave!”

This strike, fueled by burning its demon core Origin and drawing the Secret Realm's Demonic Malice, was infinitely close to the Dharma Aspect Realm! Its power far surpassed anything before!

The Vortex of Destruction instantly locked onto Lin Jingyu!

An irresistible, terrifying suction force arrived, threatening to drag even his Soul into the eternal darkness!

“Come!!” There was no retreat in Lin Jingyu's eyes, only the fiercest flames of battle burning! The divine demon dharma idol phantom stood tall between heaven and earth, crossing its arms to guard in front!

[Power of Thick Earth: Immovable as a Mountain!] The earthen yellow divine light condensed into a tangible mountain barrier, incredibly dense!

[Indestructible Vajra Divine Art: Extreme Operation!] Dazzling golden light radiated from his body, flowing over his bulging muscles and emitting a metallic clang, pushing his defense to an unprecedented peak!

[Geng Metal Sharpness!] Platinum sharp Qi flickered erratically on the fist of the primordial divine magic aspect, poised for attack!

BOOM—!!!

The destructive dark red vortex, carrying the terrifying power to annihilate all things, slammed violently into the ultimate barrier constructed by the Thick Earth Divine Mountain and the Indestructible Vajra Divine Light!

“Sizzle—!!!”

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a hair-raising sound of energy annihilation!

The dark red demonic light acted like the most potent acid, frantically corroding the earthen yellow mountain barrier! The Thick Earth Divine Light dimmed and dissolved at a visible speed!

The dark point at the center of the Vortex of Destruction hammered down like a drill onto the dazzling golden light condensed by the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art!

“Crack! Crack!”

A heart-stopping sound of shattering rang out!

The Indestructible Vajra Divine Light, which was impregnable and peerlessly defensive, developed cracks for the first time under the impact of the annihilation power infinitely close to the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Like glass struck by a heavy hammer, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across it!

“Pfft!” Lin Jingyu's entire body shook violently, as if struck by a massive blow, and he spat out a mouthful of scalding golden blood!

The golden light on his body flickered wildly, dimming and brightening like a candle in the wind!

The divine demon dharma idol phantom swayed violently, and the Thick Earth Divine Mountain phantom was on the verge of collapse!

“Hahaha! It's broken! The Indestructible Vajra is broken!”

Seeing this, Yin Jiuyou let out a maniacal cackle, his eyes filled with delight: "Die! You bug! Turn to dust under true demonic might!"

The terrifying annihilation power surged through the cracks, fiercely impacting Lin Jingyu's main body!

The raging Demonic Malice frantically corroded his flesh and Meridians!

Intense pain swept over his entire body like a tide!

The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art was on the verge of complete shattering!

Right at this instant of life and death!

The star rune demon core tightly grasped in Lin Jingyu's left palm seemed to be completely ignited by this extreme Demonic Malice and destructive aura!

“Buzz—!!!”

An unprecedented, pure and vast Power of Stars erupted violently from the demon core, like a breached Star River!

This power carried a magnificent, ancient, and majestic aura capable of suppressing evil demons. It instantly rushed into Lin Jingyu's arm and flooded into his limbs and entire body!

“Rumble!”

Lin Jingyu felt as if his heart had been violently struck by a star!

This pure Power of Stars resonated with the newly born Geng Metal Sharpness, the Power of Thick Earth, the Heaven Burning Divine Fire, and the power of the Chaos Heaven Opening Art within his body... creating an unprecedented resonance!

It did not directly enhance his strength, but like the toughest Star God Iron, it instantly stabilized his collapsing Physical Body!

The cracked golden light of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art miraculously stopped collapsing under the infusion of this Power of Stars. Points of Star Glow appeared along the edges of the cracks, temporarily stabilizing the defense!

More importantly, this pure Power of Stars acted like a key, instantly breaking open a sealed barrier in Lin Jingyu's mind!

Countless ancient and profound pieces of information regarding stars, gravity, and the resonance between the Physical Body and the Universe surged into his consciousness like a tide!

“Star Body Tempering Method!”

This higher-level Body Refining Cultivation Technique, evolved from the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, had its complete Profound Truth scroll forcibly "illuminated" by the Star Origin Power contained within the star rune demon core at this moment, clearly imprinting itself into Lin Jingyu's mind! He didn't even need to actively "look" at it!

“System!!”

Amidst the intense pain and the rush of the Power of Stars, Lin Jingyu's mind shook wildly, and he unleashed an unprecedented mental roar: "Now! Evolve the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art to the Star Body Tempering Method! Consume all evolution points! Deduce and Master it for me!!!"

[Ding! Complete Star Body Tempering Method Profound Truth detected! Automatically recorded into the System!]

[Ding! host possesses sufficient evolution points (estimated points from slaying the Demon General Corpse)! Evolution conditions met!]

[Confirm Evolution: Indestructible Vajra Divine Art (Perfection) → Star Body Tempering Method (Initial Glimpse)!]

[Deducing... Deduction complete! Estimated evolution points consumed... Success!]

[Beginning Star Body Tempering Method Fusion...]

BOOM—!!!!

An indescribably terrifying mutation suddenly erupted within Lin Jingyu's body!

“Crack!”

The cracked and barely maintained Indestructible Vajra Divine Light on his body exploded like a shattered eggshell, turning into golden specks of light filling the sky!

But shattering was not the end, but rebirth!

Billions of dazzling rays of starlight suddenly burst forth from every pore on Lin Jingyu's body! They instantly completely submerged his robust physique!

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

Above the dark red basin, the churning Demonic Cloud was forcibly torn apart and scattered by an invisible, mighty power!

Revealing an anomaly that seemed to connect not just beyond the Secret Realm... but with the boundless starry sky!

Countless bright and dim star phantoms appeared and shifted across the firmament!

An incredibly thick pillar of light, purely condensed from billions of starlight rays, descended like the Silver River from the Nine Heavens, ignoring spatial distance, and completely enveloped Lin Jingyu and the divine demon dharma idol phantom behind him!

“Wh- What?!?” Yin Jiuyou's maniacal laughter instantly froze on his face, replaced by extreme horror and confusion. His withered body trembled under the vast stellar pressure, like an ant gazing upon a miracle!

The Demonic Malice Annihilation Wave unleashed by the Demon General Corpse was actually forcibly fixed, blocked, and even... purified by this descending pillar of starlight?!

Bathed in the pillar of starlight, Lin Jingyu's shattered Physical Body underwent frantic transformation and reorganization at a visible speed!

His muscles, bones, fascia, and even every drop of his blood were greedily devouring the incomparably pure Power of Stars!

Beneath his skin, billions of miniature stars seemed to be slowly circulating, emitting an aura of eternity, solidity, and the capacity to bear all things!

The divine demon dharma idol phantom behind him grew wildly under the infusion of starlight, instantly surpassing thirty zhang in height!

Points of Star Glow blended into the Chaos Qi Flow, the Thick Earth Divine Light seemed to transform into the ground bearing the stars, and the Heaven Burning Divine Fire pulsed with scorching white light like a star core!

Furthermore, an invisible Stellar Gravity Field, seemingly capable of pulling all things, quietly spread out centered on the Dharma Aspect!

The Star Body Tempering Method, initially complete!

Lin Jingyu slowly raised his head. In his eyes, Star Rivers seemed to be rotating and cycling through birth and destruction!

He felt the surging, immense power within his body, far surpassing his previous strength, and the terrifying, indestructible defense that seemed to resonate with the stars, as a powerful, fierce grin spread across his lips.

He looked at the Demon General Corpse, which was temporarily suppressed by the pillar of starlight and roaring in shock and fury, then glanced at Yin Jiuyou, who was sprawled on the ground as if he had seen a ghost.

“Having fun hitting me, were you?”

Lin Jingyu's voice, like metal grating against metal, carried the vastness and coldness of the stars: “Now, it's my turn!”

He took a single step!

Bathed in the descending pillar of starlight, the divine demon dharma idol phantom moved in sync with him!

That massive fist, wrapped in Chaos Qi Flow, Thick Earth Divine Light, and Heaven Burning Divine Fire, and adorned with brilliant Star Glow, violently smashed down towards the Demon General Corpse's head, which was burning with crimson demonic flames!

Where the fist passed, space twisted, dragging the descending pillar of starlight along with it, resembling a burning meteor carrying the will to crush everything!

“Explode for me!!!”
