75: The loneliness of being invincible! Is the Chaotic Star Sea just a fishpond?

Deep within the Chaotic Star Sea, the Demonic Abyss.

This is the location of the Reverse Star Alliance's main headquarters, shrouded year-round in thick, ink-like black mist, making it eerie and terrifying.

This place gathers the most heinous Demonic Cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea; normally, even Star Palace's Law Enforcement Squads dare not step foot here.

Yet at this moment, inside the "Extreme Sage Demonic Palace" deep within the Demonic Abyss, there was a deathly silence; not even a breath could be heard.

The Chaotic Star Sea's publicly acknowledged number one Devil Head, Six Paths Extreme Sage, who possesses Late Nascent Soul Stage Peak Cultivation and is known as "Half-step Soul Transformation," was sitting on his throne constructed from thousands of white bones.

A gigantic water mirror floated before him, displaying a real-time broadcast of the Heavenly Star Island battlefield.

When he saw Gu Yang casually crush Ancestral Master Jiyin's Physical Body with one hand, and then stuff the opponent's Nascent Soul into his mouth like tossing garbage (though it was just a feigned action, to outsiders it looked like he ate it), Six Paths Extreme Sage's hands, which usually gripped his Demonic Blade and were stained with countless murders, were actually trembling slightly.

"Crack!"

The armrest of the bone throne was unconsciously crushed into powder by him.

"This... is this even human?"

Six Paths Extreme Sage's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

His cultivated *Six Paths Reincarnation Technique* was reputed to be able to deflect all techniques in the world and transfer all attacks, but he knew better than anyone that that punch... he couldn't deflect it, nor could he transfer it.

That punch contained not Spiritual Qi, but pure physical laws—absolute power and absolute mass.

In the face of that monstrous strength, capable of shattering space, all techniques were merely flashy tricks.

"A Body Cultivator... can actually be this strong? Ignoring Spells, an indestructible Physical Body, and capable of tearing apart a Nascent Soul with bare hands?"

Six Paths Extreme Sage took a deep breath. The dominance and ambition in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by profound dread.

He recalled how he had previously clamored about leveling Star Palace; thinking about it now, it was like repeatedly dancing in front of the Gates of Hell.

"No! I cannot let him find a reason to come to the Demonic Abyss!"

Six Paths Extreme Sage suddenly stood up, making a decision that went against his ancestors' teachings.

"Pass down the order!"

His voice echoed throughout the entire Demonic Abyss, carrying unquestionable authority.

"Effective immediately, the Demonic Abyss is sealed! Activate all Sect Protecting Grand Formations! Not even a fly is allowed in, much less allowed out!"

"Starting today, no one is allowed to go out and cause trouble! If anyone dares to provoke that Evil Star named Gu Yang outside, don't blame this Venerable One for being ruthless and personally wiping out their entire clan!"

"Furthermore!"

Six Paths Extreme Sage gritted his teeth, painfully pulling out several prized treasures from the bottom of his Storage Ring.

"Send a few sharp individuals to Star Palace... to present gifts! Heavy gifts! Tell them it's... to congratulate Senior Gu on the Major Achievement of his Divine Skill and for pacifying the Yao Beasts and devils!"

...Meanwhile, on Heavenly Star Island.

The smoke of battle dissipated, and the sea breeze swept across the ravaged battlefield.

The battle was over. The Demonic Cultivator Army was either dead or surrendered.

Those Demonic Path Cultivators, usually vicious and ferocious, were now as docile as quail, lining up to hand over their Storage Pouches, terrified that if they were a step too slow, they would be eaten as a snack by that Evil Star.

Gu Yang sat unceremoniously atop the ruined city wall, one foot resting on Ancestral Master Jiyin's Demonic Life Blade, enthusiastically counting his spoils of war.

"One million... two million... five million..."

Countless Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and Materials piled up into a glittering small mountain before him.

"Including what I saved before, I finally broke ten million."

Gu Yang looked at the long string of numbers on the Attribute Panel, but instead of joy, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

[Current Realm: Physical Body Nascent Soul (Middle Stage).]

[Requirement for Next Stage Deduction: 50,000,000 points!]

"Fifty million?!"

When Gu Yang saw this new prompt, his nascent feeling of being a rich tycoon was instantly shattered.

His mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"System, this is inflation! Are you a System from Zimbabwe?"

"I worked so hard, killed two Nascent Souls, and wiped out one Sect, only to save up ten million. Fifty million? Wouldn't I have to slaughter the entire Chaotic Star Sea just to get enough?"

"Is this the loneliness of being unrivaled? No, this is the pain of poverty."

Gu Yang sighed, casually tossing the rind of the Spirit Melon he had finished eating into the sea, splashing a small wave.

He looked around at the sea region that he once found challenging, but now felt utterly bland.

"There are too few monsters here. The slightly powerful ones have either been killed or scared away by me."

"The meat is too tough. Those Nascent Soul Old Monsters are all bone and no meat; the texture is terrible."

"Money is too hard to earn. I've harvested them crop after crop, and the chives are almost extinct."

"The Chaotic Star Sea... is too small. It's just a small fish pond, not big enough to raise a great shark like me."

Just as Gu Yang was lamenting that life was as lonely as snow, two streaks of Escape Light flew from the depths of Star Palace and slowly descended.

The Heavenly Star Dual Sages arrived together.

These two former Dominators of the Chaotic Star Sea now bowed respectfully to Gu Yang, their attitude as reverent as if they were facing a Soul Transformation Stage Senior expert.

"Fellow Daoist Gu's Divine Might is unparalleled. Today's battle settled the Universe, not only lifting the siege on Star Palace but also restoring peace and clarity to the Chaotic Star Sea. Everyone in Star Palace is eternally grateful."

The Male Sage said with a sincere tone.

Gu Yang waved his hand, feeling listless:

"Skip the pleasantries. Taking people's money and helping them resolve disaster—that's just a transaction."

"I just want to ask, since you are so knowledgeable, do you know if there is any place in this world where... the Spiritual Qi is exceptionally abundant, the Yao Beasts are exceptionally plump, and ideally, Heaven And Earth Treasure is everywhere, and you can kick a Top-Grade Spirit Stone just by walking two steps?"

He gestured with his hand, "My appetite is a bit big now, and the food here in the Chaotic Star Sea simply can't keep up."

The Two Sages exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

How abundant were the resources of the Chaotic Star Sea? Yet they still couldn't satisfy this lord's appetite?

The Male Sage pondered for a moment, his expression becoming solemn:

"Fellow Daoist Gu already stands at the Peak of the Chaotic Star Sea. Naturally, your perspective is lofty, and it is normal to find this place barren."

"In truth, just as Fellow Daoist thought, the world is vast, far exceeding imagination. The Chaotic Star Sea... is merely a broken sea region on the edge of the **'Tiannan Continent'**, a land of abandoned exile."

"Tiannan Continent?"

Gu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Indeed."

The Male Sage pointed toward the distant east, "Beyond that Endless Storm Wall lies a vast and boundless continent—the Central Divine Continent (also called the Great Wilderness)!"

"That is the true Holy Land of Cultivation! Spiritual Qi condenses into rain there, and Dao Rhythm is naturally formed. Soul Transformation Stage experts are merely big figures there, and above them, mighty Dominators of the Void Refining and Body Integration Stages rise and fall!"

"Most importantly..."

The Female Sage added, "True Divine Beasts roam there! True Dragons, Colorful Phoenixes, Qilin, Taotie... legendary creatures are not extinct there; they are real, existing Overlords!"

"True Dragon? Colorful Phoenix? Taotie?"

Gu Yang's eyes instantly turned into two high-powered searchlights, glowing green.

"Are you talking about... the real kind of Dragon? Not these hybrid loaches from the Chaotic Star Sea?"

"Naturally! Pure-blooded True Dragons are a Thousand Zhang long. A single drop of their blood can form a lake, and a piece of their meat can extend life by a thousand years!"

"Good! What a good place!"

Gu Yang excitedly stood up abruptly, stomping a corner of the city wall until it collapsed.

Saliva was practically dripping down; he felt as if he could already smell the fragrance of Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow.

"I knew it! The world is so big; there must be delicious food waiting for me!"

"I can't stay in this Chaotic Star Sea for another day! The food here is terrible!"

"I want to go to Central Earth! I want to go to the Great Wilderness! I want to eat a real buffet!"
