Upon the arrival of all laws, conflicts erupted in the Star Harbor.

The fluctuations of space travel slowly subsided, and the scene before their eyes shifted from chaotic, streaming colors to a vast and bustling starry sky.

Huge stars, as if sculpted from crystal, hung in the distance, emitting gentle yet majestic Spiritual Qi. Closer by, countless streams of light, like silver shuttles weaving a web, traveled back and forth through the star space; these were various flying boats, Magic Treasures, and even some strange biological mounts. Enormous buildings, like mountains, floated in the Void Realm; some shaped like pagodas, some like lotus platforms, and others pure geometric crystal structures. Their styles were vastly different, but all emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

This was the outer region of the Myriad Laws Star Domain, a prosperous place that truly gathered the Cultivation civilizations of the myriad worlds. The concentration of Spiritual Qi far exceeded that of the Tianxuan Realm, and the Laws were more active and complete; one could even faintly perceive the subtle ripples generated by the intertwining and collision of various Great Dao Laws.

"It's... so lively here!" Su Wanqing's beautiful eyes shone with wonder, stunned by the unprecedented sight before her. Her Nine Aperture Exquisite Body felt right at home here, spontaneously absorbing the abundant and diverse Spiritual Qi in the surroundings.

Nightmare's rule fragment quietly expanded, like an invisible spider web, instantly covering an area of millions of miles, and a massive stream of information flooded in.

[Environmental scan complete: Current area is the third spiral arm of the Myriad Laws Star Domain, outer airspace of 'Thousand Streams Star Port'. Spiritual Qi concentration: Extremely high (mixed attributes). Law activity: High. Detected a large number of energy constructs and life forms of different civilization styles, with strengths ranging from Foundation Establishment to Hedao Stage.]

[Detected multiple space stabilization anchors and public teleportation Formations. Detected official Law enforcement patrol (Energy Rank: Soul Transformation to Void Refining). Detected energy markers for multiple commercial districts, auction houses, and intelligence exchanges.]

[Warning: Detected multiple Divine Sense scans, some with probing and malicious intent. Suggest maintaining vigilance.]

"rule fragment, activate 'environmental adaptation' module, and simulate our aura as local ordinary Hedao Stage Cultivators," Nightmare thought to himself. Being a newcomer, keeping a low profile and observing was the best policy.

[Command confirmed. Environmental adaptation activated... Energy fluctuation adjusted... Law resonance frequency fine-tuned... Simulation complete.]

Instantly, the unique auras belonging to the Tianxuan Realm and the Great Dao of Annihilation emitted by Nightmare and Su Wanqing were perfectly hidden. In their place was a common Hedao Stage fluctuation, mixed with stars and Five Elements, which was quite common in the Myriad Laws Star Domain and completely unremarkable.

"Let's go, let's check out that so-called 'Thousand Streams Star Port' first." Nightmare selected the nearest large floating building complex; the energy markers there were the most concentrated, clearly a hub for information and resources.

The two turned into two inconspicuous streams of light, merging into the endless flow of flight and flying towards the star port.

The closer they got, the more they could feel the magnificence and bustle of Thousand Streams Star Port. The port was composed of countless platforms, corridors, and floating palaces, with mixed styles that were integrated through some ingenious Formation. A huge plaque flashed with the four characters "Thousand Streams Star Port" in some kind of common rune, with translations in various languages below.

The Cultivators entering and leaving the port were diverse: Human Race, Yao Race, Winged Race with light wings on their backs, Crystal Race covered in scales, and even some elemental life forms and mechanical constructs. Their cultivation levels were uneven, but the general level was indeed higher than in the Tianxuan Realm; Nascent Soul were as common as dogs, Soul Transformation were everywhere, and Void Refining could often be seen.

Nightmare and Su Wanqing paid a modest amount of Spirit Stones as an entry fee and entered the star port with the flow of people. The interior space was far broader than it looked from the outside, clearly utilizing advanced space expansion technology. The streets were lined with shops selling various Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Materials, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, and even some strange technological artifacts. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and the chatter of Cultivators were endless, full of vitality.

"Senior Brother, this place is so wonderful, there are so many things I haven't seen before." Su Wanqing looked around curiously, like a young girl entering a big city for the first time.

Nightmare's rule fragment was like the most precise scanner, rapidly collecting what he saw and heard, supplementing his database. Many things here were quite novel to him as well.

However, just as they passed a crossroads and prepared to find a large-looking intelligence firm to ask for information, a commotion came from the square ahead.

"Damn it! You blind thing! Dare to bump into our 'Black Fiend Gang' people!"

"Take this little girl! Compensate with money! If you can't afford it, use yourself to pay the debt!"

"Get away! You clearly bumped into me on purpose!"

A few Cultivators wearing uniform black tight-fitting clothes with fierce faces were surrounding a female Cultivator dressed in light cyan clothes, who had a pretty face but looked panicked. That female Cultivator was only at the Early Spirit Transformation Stage, and facing a few burly men who were at least at the Middle or Late Stage of Soul Transformation, she appeared helpless. Although the surrounding crowd pointed and whispered, no one dared to intervene.

"It's that scum from the Black Fiend Gang, playing the 'touch porcelain' scam again."

"Sigh, this girl is in trouble. The Black Fiend Gang has a Void Refining Stage Elder backing them."

"Keep it down, don't invite trouble upon yourself..."

The surrounding discussions reached his ears, and Nightmare instantly understood what was going on. It seemed that in this Myriad Laws Star Domain, there was no shortage of such scenes of bullying the weak.

The leading burly man of the Black Fiend Gang had a lewd smile on his face and reached out to grab the female Cultivator in the cyan dress: "Little lady, come with us!"

The female Cultivator in the cyan dress was so frightened that her face paled, and she retreated repeatedly, on the verge of being caught.

Just then, a calm voice sounded:

"Get lost."

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a strange magic, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, and made the actions of those few Black Fiend Gang burly men suddenly freeze.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing an ordinary black robe, whose aura seemed to be only at the Dao Integration Initial Stage, appearing in front of the female Cultivator in the cyan dress, looking calmly at the few burly men.

It was Nightmare.

He originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the actions of this group reminded him of the scum in the imperial capital who bullied Wan Qing, and he felt a bit unhappy. Moreover, being a newcomer, showing a little strength could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The leading burly man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Where did this blind thing come from! Dare to meddle in our Black Fiend Gang's business? You're courting death!"

He sensed that Nightmare only had the cultivation of "Dao Integration Initial Stage" (simulated by Nightmare), and with his own group being numerous and having a backer, he felt confident. He punched towards Nightmare's face, the fist wind fierce and carrying Evil Qi, clearly intending to deal a heavy blow.

Exclamations sounded from the surrounding, as if they had already foreseen the scene of this meddlesome Black-Robed Person bleeding on the spot.

However, Nightmare simply raised his hand, extended his index finger, and tapped gently against the incoming fist.

Pfft!

A soft sound, like popping a bubble.

The violent fist force containing Evil Qi, the moment it touched Nightmare's fingertip, melted like ice and snow, instantly dissipating into nothingness! And the burly man himself, as if hit by an invisible giant hammer, screamed and flew backward, slamming heavily into a distant wall, sliding down limply, life or death unknown.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze. A Late Stage Body Cultivator, being... killed in seconds by a "Dao Integration Initial Stage" using one finger?!

The remaining few Black Fiend Gang burly men were scared out of their wits, looking at Nightmare as if looking at a devil. They didn't even dare to utter harsh words, and scrambled to drag away their unconscious leader, squeezing through the crowd and fleeing in a sorry state.

Nightmare didn't even look at them, turned to the shaken female Cultivator in the cyan dress, and said calmly: "It's fine now, let's go."

The female Cultivator in the cyan dress only then came back to her senses and quickly bowed deeply to Nightmare: "Many... many thanks to Senior for saving my life! This Junior is Angelica, deeply grateful!"

"Just a small effort." Nightmare waved his hand and prepared to take Su Wanqing away.

However, Angelica hurriedly said: "Senior, please wait! You offended the Black Fiend Gang to help me, they definitely won't let it go! They have a Void Refining Stage Elder sitting in the port! Senior should leave Thousand Streams Star Port quickly!"

Nightmare paused, looked at Angelica, and suddenly asked: "You are very familiar with this Thousand Streams Star Port?"

Angelica was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded: "Yes, this Junior is a Named Disciple of the local 'Hundred Knowledge Pavilion', and I am quite familiar with the inside and outside of the star port."

Hundred Knowledge Pavilion? Sounds like an intelligence organization.

Nightmare's heart stirred. rule fragment instantly scanned Angelica, confirming that what she said was true, and her Soul fluctuations were pure, with no signs of lying.

"Just right, I need to understand some information about the Myriad Laws Star Domain." Nightmare looked at her, "Would you like to be a guide and introduce it to me? The reward will not be lacking."

Angelica heard this, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes. Being able to befriend a Senior with such powerful strength was simply a huge Opportunity! She quickly agreed: "Willing! This Junior is willing! It is this Junior's honor to serve Senior!"

Nightmare nodded. Having a local to lead the way could save him a lot of exploration time.

However, just as they were preparing to leave the square, rule fragment suddenly sent a warning!

[Warning! Detected a powerful energy source approaching rapidly! Target: Mid-stage Void Refining Cultivator! Identity tag: Same energy source as the fleeing Black Fiend Gang members!]

[The opponent has locked onto the Host's location and has clear hostility!]

Nightmare's eyes turned slightly cold, and he looked towards the end of the street.

A black light of escape shot over like lightning, and the powerful pressure of the Void Refining Stage was released without concealment, making the air in the entire square almost freeze!

A sinister voice resounded through the entire place like ice:

"Who is it? Dare to touch my Black Fiend Gang's people?! Get out here and die for this Elder!"
