Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall changed color.
The Burial God Formation is the strongest killing formation in the Yuan Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The old man in black robes hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Once this formation is activated, our Yuan Kingdom will suffer a severe blow!"
The Star-Eating King sneered: "Aren't you already severely weakened?"
He slammed his hand on a corner of the sand table and smashed it: "It's settled then! Immediately summon the Heavenly Prison Ancestor to emerge from seclusion! Order all armies to assemble on the battlefield in three days!"
Once the order was given, the entire Yuan Kingdom sprang into action like a sophisticated war machine.
Time flows on, but the flames of war never cease.
Since Xingchen and Muqing joined the Qin Kingdom, the landscape of the war has been completely transformed. The battle between the two great nations continues, but the scales of victory are increasingly tipping in Qin's favor.
However, as the war continued, this pair that once shook the stars was no longer as inseparable as they had been at the beginning.
Mu Qing's cultivation of the Beast Realm requires a constant stream of food to be consumed.
Stardust's blade, however, is more inclined towards cultivation.
Therefore, Mu Qing often roamed alone across various battlefields, like a hungry beast, wantonly devouring the strongmen of the Yuan Kingdom.
On this day, Mu Qing was flying over a place called "Burial God Valley".
The towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon are covered with ancient battle marks.
Legend has it that this place was once the site of the fall of a god-king, and the oppressive aura that still lingers in the air is chilling.
Mu Qing grinned, his scarlet tongue licking his fangs.
He could sense that several powerful auras were battling deep within the canyon—those were his prey.
"Hehe, I'm going to have a big meal again today..."
He was about to swoop down when he suddenly stopped.
A figure appeared in the void above the canyon at some unknown time.
That was an old man.
He wore a simple gray robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was as kind as an old man next door. But his eyes—those seemingly cloudy eyes—held within them the depth of the entire starry sky.
What is most astonishing is that he stood quietly in the void, without the slightest trace of his aura escaping, as if he were one with heaven and earth.
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint in them: "Old man, get out of the way."
The old man smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Young man, it's not good to have too much killing intent."
"court death!"
Mu Qing sneered. He was not a good-tempered person. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the black energy instantly transformed into a giant claw that covered the sky, grabbing down towards the old man's head!
This seemingly casual claw strike actually contained 50% of his power; even an ordinary Chaos Ruler would be severely injured on the spot if struck by it.
however--
The old man simply raised his withered hand and drew a circle in front of him.
"Buzz!"
An invisible barrier appeared, and Mu Qing's giant claw struck it, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to even stir up the slightest ripple.
Mu Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Peak Chaos Overlord!"
The old man smiled but did not answer. He simply took something out of his sleeve—an old-fashioned oil lamp with a faint flame flickering on its wick.
"Young man, I have come here today only to ask you to stay here for a while."
His tone remained calm, but Mu Qing felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Because the flame on that oil lamp was strikingly black!
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Mu Qing roared, his body suddenly swelled, and he instantly transformed into a colossal beast ten thousand feet tall.
A terrifying devouring power erupted, and the space above the entire canyon began to distort.
"Watch me devour you, I'll devour the heavens and the earth!"
A pitch-black vortex formed in his mouth, from which even light could not escape.
The old man sighed and gently blew out the oil lamp.
"call--"
The wisp of black flame suddenly surged, transforming into a sea of black fire that forcefully resisted Mu Qing's devouring power!
The moment the two forces collided, the space within a radius of tens of thousands of miles shattered inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black void.
Mu Qing's eyes flashed even more fiercely: "Old man, you've got some skills!"
The old man still had a smile on his face, but the oil lamp in his hand began to tremble violently.
"As expected of the Devouring Great Sage, I'm afraid these old bones of mine won't last much longer..."
His tone remained relaxed, but his eyes became incredibly serious.
Because he knew that his mission was to hold off this ferocious beast at all costs.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Burial God Canyon, a deadly trap targeting the Great Sage Star is quietly unfolding...
the other side.
Yinghei City is an ordinary city located on the border of the Qin Kingdom.
The gray city walls are mottled and old, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.
This border town, having endured countless battles, was long accustomed to the conflicts of blood and fire. But ever since the Great Sage of the Stars chose to cultivate in seclusion here, the entire town has been shrouded in a strange tranquility.
Inside the cultivation tower in the center of the city, Xingchen sat cross-legged.
Since Xingchen joined the war, he has not participated in every battle, spending most of his time cultivating in seclusion.
War was not a bad thing for him.
At least in terms of resources, there is absolutely no shortage.
The River Light Blade rested horizontally in front of his knees, the star patterns on its blade slowly flowing, as if breathing. There were no candles inside the tower, but the starlight emanating from the blade illuminated the entire space as if a galaxy were suspended in mid-air.
Sudden--
"Buzz!"
Without warning, the River Light Blade trembled, and the star patterns on its blade suddenly lit up.
Stardust suddenly opened his eyes, his deep, star-like gaze piercing through the top of the tower and looking up at the endless sky.
"coming."
He spoke softly, his voice eerily calm.
Almost at the same moment, the sky above Yinghei City suddenly changed color!
The once clear sky was instantly stained crimson, and three terrifying auras descended from the sky, crashing into the city like three meteorites!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After three loud explosions, the entire defensive array of Yinghei City shattered before it could even hold for a moment.
As the smoke and dust cleared, three figures stood in mid-air.
On the left is a woman shrouded in icy cold, the ground beneath her feet instantly freezing into thick frost; on the right is an old man wreathed in heavenly fire, the surrounding air distorted by the heat; and in the center is none other than the renowned "Nine Heavens Sword Master" of the Yuan Kingdom, the nine divine swords behind him emitting a piercing hum.
Three peak Chaos Rulers!
Before the city's residents could even cry out in alarm, they were knocked unconscious by the terrifying pressure.
"The Great Sage of the Stars".
The Nine Heavens Sword Master spoke in a cold voice, his tone like the clang of metal on metal.
"Today is your death day."
Inside the cultivation tower, Xingchen slowly rose to his feet.
His movements were slow, yet possessed a breathtaking rhythm. As he stood fully upright, the entire cultivation tower silently crumbled into dust, revealing his imposing figure.
He had somehow already grasped the River Light Blade in his hand, and lightly touched the ground with the tip of the blade.
"Seriously, I didn't expect you to come directly to me. Just the three of you?"
Stardust's voice was soft, yet it caused the three peak rulers to change color simultaneously.
Because the moment he finished speaking, the entire Yinghei City suddenly disappeared—no, it didn't disappear, but was split in two by a blade of light that swept across the sky!
After the flash of the swords, the city remained intact, but a barely perceptible crack appeared on the robes of the three rulers simultaneously...
The three peak rulers retreated thousands of feet simultaneously, their figures leaving three dazzling streaks of light in the void.
A corner of the Xuan Yin Empress's frost-covered dress was torn off, the Nine Heavens Sword Master's expression was solemn, and the Heavenly Fire Ancestor's beard was shaved in half.
"Tick-tock-"
Three drops of cold sweat simultaneously slid down their foreheads.
"The Great Sage of Stars, his reputation is well-deserved..."
Ancestor Tianhuo frowned.
Before the words were even finished, Stardust's figure had already appeared above the three of them.
The River Light Blade pointed diagonally at the ground, the star patterns on its blade moving as if alive: "Since you're here, stay here."
His calm words made the three top rulers feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The Nine Heavens Sword Master suddenly shouted, "We have come prepared, so don't be too arrogant! Form the formation!"
Three dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, intertwining in the air to form a triangular killing formation that blotted out the sun.
