The Chaotic Reincarnation Sword Domain expanded instantly, enveloping that sliver of space! The Pure Yang Sword Qi rushed into the Sword Domain, and that extremely strong and Yang power was instantly differentiated and guided by the stellar power and the Dao of Reincarnation flowing within the Sword Domain!
The senior disciple in the golden robe felt as if the sword energy had vanished into thin air, its connection with him rapidly weakening. Just as he was wondering what was happening, the scene before him suddenly changed!
He was forcibly pulled into that unfamiliar starry sky by an invisible force!
His two junior brothers, however, were kept out!
"Senior Brother!" the two cried out in terror, frantically attacking the entrance, only to find that it had been sealed again, impenetrable!
Within the fragments of starry sky, the golden-robed senior brother steadied himself, looking at the green-robed figure standing in front of him with a sword in hand, both shocked and furious.
"It's you?! Fu Shaoping from the Qingxuan Sect!" He recognized Fu Shaoping, ranked nineteenth on the Prodigy Ranking, who had recently been enjoying great popularity. "You dare to plot against me?!"
Fu Shaoping stood with his sword in hand, his body swirling with the aura of starlight, seemingly merging with the starry sky. He looked at his opponent with indifferent eyes:
"Ambush? You trespass into my place of opportunity, intending to rob me. You dare to talk about ambush?"
"Are all the people in Chunyang Palace as shameless as you?"
"Arrogant!" The golden-robed senior brother laughed angrily. "You only managed to get to the bottom of the Prodigy Ranking by luck, do you really think you're invincible? Today I'll show you what a true late-stage Golden Core cultivator is!"
He stopped wasting words, pushing the Pure Yang Sword Technique to its limit, his body engulfed in golden flames, transforming him into a human-shaped sun! The flaming longsword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, and with a single slash, it was like the sun falling, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas!
"Pure Yang Profound Technique - Great Sun Burning Heaven Sword!"
Where the sword flashed, the starry sky seemed to be ignited!
Facing this extremely powerful and fierce sword strike, far surpassing Xiao Lie Li Huo in strength, Fu Shaoping's eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of... eagerness.
He slowly raised the North Star Sword.
On the sword's blade, galaxies flowed and echoed the stars in the heavens.
He did not use the Annihilation of the Silence of the Silence, nor did he invoke the Reincarnation of the Sunset Glow. Instead, he purely used the Star Sword Dao, which he had just comprehended and which originated from the orthodox Star Pavilion!
"North Star - Galaxy Sword Waterfall!"
The Northern Star Sword was unleashed, drawing upon not its own sword energy, but the omnipresent, pure, and boundless stellar power within this fragment of starry sky! Endless starlight converged, transforming into a dazzling silver waterfall composed of countless tiny star sword energies, surging majestically towards the Burning Heaven Sword Aura!
This is not a clash of true essence, but a collision of the laws of the Great Dao! It is a battle between the power of stars and the power of pure Yang!
"Chichichichi——!"
The Star River Sword Waterfall and the Burning Heaven Sword Qi collided violently! There was no explosion, only the sound of countless star sword energies and pure yang flames annihilating and dissolving each other! The Burning Heaven Sword Qi seemed powerful, but under the endless rush of star sword energy with its cold and desolate attributes, it was like ice and snow under the blazing sun, rapidly dimming and shrinking!
"Impossible! How can your Star Power be so pure and boundless?!" The golden-robed senior brother was horrified. He felt that his Pure Yang Sword Intent was completely suppressed by the opponent's Star Sword Intent! This starry sky seemed to be the opponent's home ground!
"A frog at the bottom of a well dares to talk about the sun and the sky?"
Fu Shaoping's voice was icy, and his sword stance changed again! Guided by the North Star Sword, the stars in the heavens moved accordingly!
"The stars have changed!"
The disintegrating Star River Sword Waterfall did not disappear; instead, under the influence of the Star Rules, it instantly reformed, transforming into a roaring Star Dragon that spun and ravaged the Golden-Robed Senior Brother! Countless Star Sword Qi erupted from the dragon's body, attacking him from all directions without any blind spots!
The senior disciple in the golden robe was struggling to defend himself. His pure yang energy was stripped away layer by layer, and his protective magic treasures shattered one after another. Dozens of deep, bone-revealing sword wounds appeared on his body in an instant, and he was covered in blood!
He let out a furious roar of resentment, desperately burning his golden core essence in a final desperate attempt.
However, Fu Shaoping no longer intended to give him another chance.
The Silence-Striking Sword finally moved.
It wasn't a slash, but rather a cross with the North Star Sword in front of him.
The two swords resonated together, and the Samsara Sword Domain and the Star Domain perfectly overlapped at this moment!
"To die by this move is your honor."
"Reincarnation Starfall - Eternal Silence!"
The two swords clashed and slashed out! A sword light beyond description was born! That sword light was half absolute darkness and annihilation that devoured everything (Jingji), and half a brilliant galaxy that evolved through the heavens and its cycle of birth and death (Beichen)! Two completely opposite forces, under the rule of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, achieved a terrifying balance and unity, transforming into a hazy, ultimate torrent that seemed capable of ending all matter, energy, and even time and space, instantly engulfing the golden-robed senior brother!
The roar of the golden-robed senior brother, the burning golden core, the residual light protecting his body... everything, before this "Eternal Silence" sword light, was like being thrown into the dust of the void, silently annihilated and disappeared.
Wherever they stood, only absolute nothingness remained, along with the slowly dissipating pure energy.
The true disciple of the late-stage Golden Core realm of Chunyang Palace has passed away!
Fu Shaoping sheathed his sword and stood there, his face slightly pale. Simultaneously activating the essence of both swords to unleash this ultimate sword technique, a fusion of reincarnation and stars, consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
But his eyes gleamed with excitement. This battle had given him an even greater grasp on his newfound power!
His gaze swept across the void, then looked beyond the starry sky at the two Pure Yang Palace disciples who were still frantically attacking the entrance, his eyes cold.
"Since you are here, just stay."
His figure slowly faded, merging into the starry sky. Next, it was time to clear out the smaller fry outside.
This fragment of the starry sky, along with the Star Pavilion Master's legacy and star core, will be one of his most important assets in this Era of Return to the Void!
His rise to power was unstoppable! Inside the Star Pivot Hall, the dust settled. The two mid-stage Golden Core disciples of the Pure Yang Palace, after Fu Shaoping activated the rules of the Starry Sky Fragment and triggered an even more violent "Star Vortex Turbulence," could not hold on for long and followed in their senior brother's footsteps, becoming nourishment for this starry sky.
Fu Shaoping ignored the mess outside. Since the people from Chunyang Palace dared to interfere, they should be prepared to be cut off. He sat down again before the remains of the Starry Sky Pavilion Master, his mind as calm as a still pond. The battle just now was merely a small interlude in the process of digesting the inheritance, which perfectly verified the power of his newly comprehended Starry Sky Sword Dao. He once again immersed himself in the vast torrent of inheritance. With the verification of actual combat, his understanding was even more profound this time. The Starry Sky Pavilion Master's understanding of the Great Dao of Stars was truly boundless, especially the formation concept called the "Zhou Tian Star Array," and the various secret techniques of how to draw upon the power of stars to resist and even utilize the "Return to Nothingness" tide, which broadened his horizons.
"It turns out that stars are not eternal; they too are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, and the cycle of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness. The Void is not simply destruction, but rather a link in the cycle of matter and energy in the universe. It is the end of an old era, and it may also be the cradle of a new one..."
Within his sea of consciousness, the evolution of the Sunset Sword Domain reached a critical point. The illusory image of the setting sun completely merged with the illusory image of a collapsing star, transforming into a "Nirvana Star Core"—a core that continuously devoured inwards while simultaneously nurturing a point of ultimate vitality at its core! The morning glow and flowing clouds transformed into nebulae and star trails surrounding the star core, forming a more complete and dynamic miniature universe model!
"Crack!"
The thin membrane-like barrier within his body was finally shattered completely under the impact of this profound enlightenment!
The Chaos Reincarnation Golden Core trembled violently, expanding in size. The runes on its surface, shimmering with light and swirling with starlight, became even more complex and profound, radiating an immense pressure far exceeding its former power! Mid-stage Golden Core achieved!
Moreover, he was not an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. His Golden Core was of extremely high quality, and his foundation was too solid. Even at the very beginning of his mid-stage cultivation, the sheer power of his spiritual energy and his control over the rules were already approaching that of an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator!
A surge of power coursed through his body, and Fu Shaoping slowly opened his eyes. A fleeting vision of the beginning of the universe seemed to flash within them. He felt a new level of power and a clearer grasp of the stars and the Great Dao of Reincarnation, his heart filled with boundless pride.
He stood up and bowed deeply once more before the remains of the Starry Sky Pavilion Master. This inheritance was a blessing akin to being reborn.
Then, his gaze fell upon the suspended "star core." This object was formed from the essence of a star field condensed by the Star Pavilion; it was the true core of this inheritance ground and the nexus controlling this fragment of starry sky.
He reached out and carefully cradled the star core in his palm. The star core was cool to the touch, and within it, stellar currents flowed, conveying a sense of reverence and acceptance. He activated the refining method from the Northern Star inheritance, slowly infusing it with his divine sense and the Dao of the Stars.
The process went more smoothly than expected. Perhaps it was due to the shared lineage, or perhaps it was because the strength he had displayed in the previous battle had been recognized, but the star core did not reject it; instead, it actively cooperated. In just a short while, he had begun to refine the star core and established a close connection with this fragment of starry sky.
With a thought, he could take in the entire starry sky. He could even vaguely sense the situation at Meteor Lake outside—the remains of the two Pure Yang Palace disciples had been quietly dealt with by the automatically repairing array at the bottom of the lake, and the lake surface had returned to its former "calm," as if nothing had ever happened.
"This place can serve as my secret abode and foundation," Fu Shaoping decided. With the Star Core in hand, he could enter and leave this place at any time, and he could also mobilize the power of this starry sky to fight enemies, or go into seclusion here to comprehend the Dao, the effect of which far exceeded that of Luoxia Peak.
He absorbed the star core into his dantian, nurturing it alongside the Chaos Reincarnation Golden Core. Afterward, he didn't leave immediately, but instead began consolidating his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation within the Star Pivot Hall, further studying the profound stellar techniques and formations inherited from the Star Evolution Pavilion Master.
Time flew by as I focused on my practice.
After he had completely stabilized his cultivation and had initially mastered several practical star-based secret techniques, such as "Star Escape Technique," "Star Body Protection," and "Star-Guiding Soul Tempering," he felt that about half a month had passed in the outside world.
It's time to leave.
With a thought, he used the star core to slowly fade his form, and in the next moment, he quietly appeared on the broken array base at the bottom of Meteor Lake. The lake was calm, and sunlight filtered through the surface, casting dappled shadows; everything seemed normal.
He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and, confirming there were no ambushes, transformed into a barely perceptible stream of light, bursting out of the water and hovering in the air.
It was midday, and the sun was blazing. He sensed the starkly different rules and spiritual energy of the outside world compared to the fragments of starry sky, and adjusted for a moment. After achieving the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, his perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become even more acute. He could clearly "see" the invisible, slowly increasing "Return to Nothingness Tide" power in the air, which was omnipresent like background radiation.
“The tides are getting stronger and stronger…” He frowned slightly, which meant that the pace of the era change was accelerating and the turmoil would become more intense.
He was about to return to his sect when he suddenly sensed something and his gaze sharpened towards the southeast. There, a powerful energy fluctuation was rapidly approaching from afar! Moreover, it carried a familiar aura... the aura of the Qingxuan Sect's distress sword talisman!
"Are our disciples in danger?"
Fu Shaoping's eyes turned cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he vanished from his spot in a flash, speeding towards the direction from which the fluctuations had originated. Using the Star Escape Technique, his speed was several times faster than before, like a true meteor streaking across the sky!
In just a few moments, he had arrived above the scene of the incident.
Below, in the devastated valley, three young men dressed in the robes of inner disciples of the Qingxuan Sect stood back to back, forming a rudimentary Three Talents Sword Formation, struggling to hold on. They were covered in blood, their auras were weak, and the sword formation's protective shield was on the verge of collapse.
Surrounding them were five cultivators dressed in strange animal skins, their faces smeared with paint, exuding a fierce and savage aura! These people did not use traditional flying swords or magical artifacts, but rather various bone tools, totem poles, and bizarre witchcraft spells. Their power attributes were insidious and violent, and their cultivation levels ranged from the late Foundation Establishment stage to the Pseudo-Core Formation stage!
"They're from the Southern Wilderness Witch Clan!" Fu Shaoping recognized them at a glance. These Witch Clan cultivators possessed formidable physical strength, unpredictable methods, and were adept at controlling poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, and the power of curses, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
The three Qingxuan Sect disciples were clearly at their limit; the sword array's protective shield was constantly twisting under the bombardment of witchcraft and bone artifacts, and it looked like it was about to shatter.
The leader, a burly man from the Wu tribe, wore a cruel smile as he brandished a totem pole inlaid with a skull and slammed it down on the sword formation: "You bastards of the Qingxuan Sect, hand over the 'Millennial Blood Toad Nectar' you found in the 'Miasma Rain Forest,' and I'll give you a quick death!"
"Don't even think about it!" a Qingxuan Sect disciple with a resolute face roared through gritted teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Even if I destroy it, I won't give it to you barbarians!"
"You're courting death!" The burly man from the witch clan grinned maliciously, and the totem pole shone brightly with black light, ready to deliver the final blow.
At this critical moment——
"Buzz!"
The light in the world seemed to dim for a moment.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended suddenly, as if the entire sky had collapsed! It pressed the five witch clan cultivators firmly to the ground, rendering them unable to move, and even the totem poles they were waving froze in mid-air!
They looked up in horror, only to see a figure in a green robe appear in the sky above the valley. The person was young and calm, but his eyes seemed to hold the power of the stars' birth and death, sending shivers down their spines!
A Golden Core cultivator! And an extremely terrifying one at that!
The three Qingxuan Sect disciples who had narrowly escaped death were also stunned. Then they recognized the person and were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. They shouted in a hoarse voice, "Elder Fu! It's Elder Fu!"
Fu Shaoping's gaze swept indifferently over the five Wu Clan cultivators, as if they were five ants. The Southern Wilderness Wu Clan and the Central Continent's righteous path have always been at odds, and now, in the Era of Return to Nothingness, the conflict has intensified. (End of Chapter)
