Fu Shaoping's body became the center of the storm, with countless fine cracks appearing on his skin. These were signs that his physical body could not withstand such a massive energy impact. However, as soon as the cracks appeared, they were repaired by the pure star power and the power of the void. He cycled through destruction and rebirth, transforming into a stronger level!
"Stop him! He's forcibly breaking through to a higher realm!" Lei Zhen was both shocked and furious. He had never seen anyone dare to use the enemy's power to break through to a higher realm during a battle, especially in such a desperate situation! This was simply the act of a madman! He activated the great formation with all his might, trying to sever the energy connection, but found that the hazy power of the Void was like the thickest swamp, subtly drawing his divine sense and spiritual power towards it!

The Netherworld Cult envoy and Zhao Qianshan were even more horrified. Their attacks not only failed to work, but seemed to have given the enemy nourishment instead!
"We can't let him succeed!" A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Qianshan's eyes. He knew that if Fu Shaoping successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he would be the first to die! He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the black seal. The seal shone brightly with dark light, and the punitive lightning transformed into a ferocious thunder dragon, roaring as it crashed down again!

The Netherworld Cult's messenger also planted the white bone mourning staff into the ground, formed hand seals, and hoarsely chanted: "Nine Netherworlds, summon spirits! Gates of the Yellow Springs, open!"

A murky, illusory river, exuding a thick aura of death, emerged from behind him. Countless pale ghostly hands reached out from the river, grabbing at Fu Shaoping and trying to drag him into the underworld!

Although Mu Wanqiu was suppressed by the great formation, she was still extremely anxious seeing Fu Shaoping's crazy actions. She forcefully raised her spiritual power, pushing the Ice Lotus Sword Intent to its limit. Ice lotuses bloomed, forming a solid ice barrier, trying to shield Fu Shaoping from some of the attacks, even if it could only relieve a little of the pressure!
"Senior Sister, no need!" Fu Shaoping's voice reached her ears at this moment, carrying a strange calmness and confidence, "Watch me break through and slay my enemies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Reincarnation Golden Core within his body reached its maximum speed of rotation. The void Dao patterns on its surface shone brightly, as if resonating with the chaotic laws of the entire Meteorite Plain! Inside the Golden Core, the interwoven patterns of rosy light, starry river, and hazy air currents suddenly collapsed and then expanded!

A powerful pressure far exceeding the Golden Core level erupted like a dormant ancient beast awakening!
"Crack!"

It was as if something had shattered! Not the Golden Core, but that solid barrier of realm!
Above the crater, the dark red sky, which was originally shrouded in the light of the great array, was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force! It was not a tribulation of lightning, but an endless turbulent flow of void swept in, mixed with incomparably pure stellar power, and transformed into a gray-silver pillar of light with a diameter of more than a hundred feet, completely enveloping Fu Shaoping!

He used the void as his foundation, the stars as his guide, and the Ruins of Return as his furnace, forging an unprecedented path to Nascent Soul formation—the Void Star Nascent Soul!
Within the pillar of light, at the site of Fu Shaoping's shattered golden core, a miniature infant phantom, identical in appearance to him, slowly coalesced. This infant was entirely translucent grayish-silver, its left eye like a galaxy containing stars, its right eye like a bottomless abyss, its body swirling with fine void ripples and specks of starlight! The aura it exuded was vast, profound, deathly still yet brimming with life, completely surpassing that of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Nascent Soul, accomplished!

The moment his nascent soul took shape, the Nine Heavens Star Locking Array that enveloped him let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain and collapsed with a deafening roar! The pillars of light at the base of the array shattered one after another, and the backlash caused Lei Zhen, who was in charge of the array, to groan and let a trickle of blood spill from the corner of his mouth!

"Impossible!!" Zhao Qianshan's eyes widened in horror, his face filled with fear and despair.

The Netherworld Cult envoy acted decisively, his figure transforming into a wisp of black smoke as he attempted to escape into the still-dissipating phantom of the Yellow Springs!

"Want to leave now? It's too late."

Fu Shaoping slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the swirling stars and the deep, silent abyss. With a thought, the newly formed nascent soul of the void star raised its small hand.

"town!"

Words became law! The entire space of the crater region instantly froze! The Netherworld Cult envoy who had vanished into the air remained frozen in place, like an insect encased in amber, his expression one of terror, unable to move!

"broken!"

Fu Shaoping pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped it.

"puff!"

The body of the Netherworld Cult's envoy, along with the space around him, shattered like a mirror, inch by inch, eventually turning into the finest particles and dissipating into nothingness. Even the illusory image of the Yellow Springs was erased!
Half-step Nascent Soul, annihilated in the blink of an eye!
Lei Zhen and Zhao Qianshan were horrified, their scalps tingling with fear! What kind of Nascent Soul was this? To possess such terrifying power so soon after its formation?!
"It's your turn." Fu Shaoping's gaze turned to the remaining two people, as if he were looking at two dead men.

Zhao Qianshan was terrified and turned to flee, screaming, "Ray Angel, save me!"

Lei Zhen's face turned ashen. As a Heavenly Patrol Envoy and a Nascent Soul cultivator, he naturally possessed arrogance, but facing Fu Shaoping, whose aura was unfathomable at this moment, he felt a sense of helplessness! He suddenly summoned a silver lightning shield to protect himself, and at the same time crushed a jade talisman, attempting to call for help from the outside world.

“Traitor, you shall be executed by sword.” Fu Shaoping didn’t even look at Zhao Qianshan. The Jingji Sword flew out on its own, turning into a gray lightning bolt that crossed space and appeared directly behind Zhao Qianshan.

Zhao Qianshan sensed the deadly, silent sword intent behind him and frantically activated his protective magic treasure, but all his defenses were futile in the face of the silent sword containing the power of returning to nothingness.

"Do not--!"

As the sword light flashed, Zhao Qianshan's body stiffened. His protective aura, physical body, golden core, and even his soul were all instantly eroded and annihilated by the power of the Void Return, following in the footsteps of that earth cultivator.

In the blink of an eye, only Lei Zhen remained on the field!
Lei Zhen watched as Fu Shaoping, sword in hand, walked step by step through the air. Feeling the terrifying pressure that seemed to press down on him from the entire void, Lei Zhen's expression finally changed. He shouted sternly, "Fu Shaoping! I am a Heavenly Patrol Envoy! If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of the entire Heavenly Court. There will be no place for you to hide in heaven or on earth!"

Fu Shaoping continued walking, the gray light flickering on the Jingji Sword. His voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority: "From the moment you issued the Heavenly Punishment decree to hunt me down, implicating my senior sister and the sect, I and the Heavenly Court have been mortal enemies."

"Today, I'll cut off your arm first. One day, I will personally ascend to the Heavenly Palace and ask that old Jade Emperor, what is Heaven? What is rebellion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Shaoping unleashed a sword strike!
This sword strike is no longer simply the intent of the silent sword, but rather a fusion of the ever-changing void, the vastness of the stars, and the deathly stillness of the void—the Void Returning to the Void Slash!

Where the sword light passed, space collapsed layer by layer, and all things fell silent!

Lei Zhen roared, and the silver lightning shield burst out with dazzling lightning. He even unleashed his trump card, "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment," summoning nine purple lightning bolts as thick as buckets to bombard the sword light!
However, before the sword light that fused with three supreme powers, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, easily swallowed and annihilated! The sword light was unstoppable, slashing at the lightning shield!
"Crack!"

The Silver Lightning Shield, which was said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, shattered instantly! The sword light swept past Lei Zhen's left arm!
"Ah!" Lei Zhen let out a shrill scream as his entire left arm was severed at the shoulder. The cut was a gray mess, and the power of the Void prevented any possibility of healing, and was even spreading to his torso!

Terrified, he dared not linger any longer. He burned his nascent soul essence, transforming into a streak of blood-red lightning, and fled towards the horizon in a disheveled state at a speed far exceeding his arrival, not daring to utter a single harsh word.

Fu Shaoping did not pursue. He had just formed his Nascent Soul and his cultivation level still needed to be stabilized. Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator and pursuing him were two different things; one should not pursue a desperate enemy. He reached out and took the star core that was floating at the top of the broken star palace into his hand. The vast star power made even his newly formed Nascent Soul feel comfortable.

He turned to look at Mu Wanqiu below, who had been freed from the shattered formation and was staring at him blankly. He smiled slightly, and the chilling pressure emanating from him instantly subsided, returning to its peaceful state.

"Senior sister, it's alright now."

Looking at her junior brother, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation and whose strength had surpassed her own, Mu Wanqiu was filled with mixed emotions. In the end, she let out a soft sigh, which was filled with immense relief and pride: "Junior Brother Fu... congratulations on achieving Nascent Soul."

After this battle, Fu Shaoping's Void Star Nascent Soul was initially formed. He slew the Netherworld, executed the traitor, and defeated the angel. His prestige will surely shake the entire cultivation world once again! And his future path will be even more magnificent, with challenges coming one after another.

Okay, let's continue Fu Shaoping's legend and see his path after he first achieved the Nascent Soul stage:

Inside the crater, the dust gradually settled. The ruins of the ancient star palace stood silently, telling tales of its ancient glory and desolation. The air was filled with the chaotic aftershocks of energy, a faint stench of blood, and the emptiness of annihilation.

Fu Shaoping stood in mid-air, holding the star core that shimmered with starlight, feeling the vast, pure stellar power within it resonate strongly with his newly formed Void Star Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul danced joyfully within his dantian, like a prodigal son returning home, constantly absorbing the energy emanating from the core to solidify his nascent realm.

He descended and landed beside Mu Wanqiu, temporarily putting away the Star Core.

"Senior Sister, how are your injuries?" Fu Shaoping asked with concern, while handing her a bottle of even more precious "Star Source Elixir," which he had obtained from the Star Evolution Pavilion Master.

Mu Wanqiu took the drops, and her pale face quickly regained its rosy hue, while her depleted spiritual energy was rapidly replenished. She looked at Fu Shaoping with a complex expression—a mixture of joy, shock, and an indescribable sense of estrangement. After all, her junior brother was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, far surpassing her in strength.

"He's out of danger, thank you, Junior Brother." Mu Wanqiu shook her head gently, then her expression hardened. "Lei Zhen's escape will surely attract even stronger pursuers from the Heavenly Court. Zhao Qianshan's betrayal may also pose a threat within the sect, and we need to deal with it as soon as possible."

Fu Shaoping nodded, his gaze sweeping across the ravaged battlefield. His divine sense spread out like a net, confirming that there were no more ambushes. He said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister is absolutely right. We cannot stay here any longer. The most urgent tasks are: first, to completely eliminate the hidden dangers within your body; second, to find a safe place to help you heal and process what you have gained; and third, to find a way to establish reliable contact with the sect."

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "As for the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld Sect... since they refuse to give up, then let them come. Perfect timing, my newly formed Nascent Soul needs a whetstone."

His tone was calm, yet it contained unparalleled confidence and sharpness. Having just formed his Nascent Soul, he had already slain powerful enemies and forced back the Heavenly Court's envoy, making his Dao heart increasingly clear and brilliant, fearless and undaunted.

Mu Wanqiu sensed the strength and determination in his words, and the subtle barrier in her heart caused by the difference in strength quietly dissipated, replaced by a firm determination to fight side by side: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and said, "The environment of Meteorite Plain is special. The chaotic laws can interfere with the deduction of heavenly secrets, so it is a relatively safe place for the time being. I know a hidden void rift that connects to an abandoned star mine. It is a temporary base recorded in the inheritance of the Star Evolution Pavilion Master. We can go there first."

He gestured with his hand, and a stable spatial portal quietly appeared, behind which lay a deep passage dotted with starlight. His mastery of spatial power had reached a new level after he formed his Nascent Soul.

Without further hesitation, the two stepped into the portal one after the other. The portal immediately closed and vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

About an incense stick's time after they left, several powerful auras descended upon the crater. The leader's aura was even stronger than Lei Zhen's; he was clearly a Heavenly Court general in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Looking at the devastated battlefield, especially sensing the lingering void sword intent and the aura of returning to nothingness, his face was ashen.

“The power of the void… the Dao of the stars… and that property of annihilating everything… this boy has already become a force to be reckoned with!” The Divine General said in a deep voice, “Pass down the order to expand the search area, notify all affiliated forces in the Northern Region, and offer a generous reward to anyone who provides information on Fu Shaoping’s whereabouts! Seal off the interstellar teleportation arrays leading to other major regions, and we must not allow him to escape the Northern Region!”

"Yes!"

……

Fu Shaoping led Mu Wanqiu through a spatial passage to an abandoned mine located deep beneath the meteorite's original surface. This place was once where the ancient Star Palace mined star minerals, but it has long been abandoned. However, the residual star energy is still strong, and the structure is stable with a natural array barrier that isolates it from outside exploration.

Fu Shaoping waved his hand and set up several layers of void restrictions and star concealment formations, making this place as solid as a rock.

“Senior Sister, please heal your injuries here first. I will protect you. At the same time, I need to refine this star core to completely stabilize my realm and comprehend what I have gained,” Fu Shaoping said.

Mu Wanqiu nodded, found a flat stone platform, drank the Star Source Elixir, and began to close her eyes and regulate her breathing. Having experienced a life-or-death battle and witnessed Fu Shaoping's astonishing breakthrough, she had also gained some insights, and her Ice Lotus Sword Intent seemed to be showing signs of transformation.

Fu Shaoping sat cross-legged in the center of the mine, placing the star core in front of his chest. He circulated the "Northern Star Codex" and the insights he gained from the void, and a nascent soul appeared above his head, breathing in sync with him and absorbing the immense power within the star core.

Time passed in the quiet of cultivation.

Fu Shaoping's nascent soul solidified at a visible speed. The starlight on his grey-silver body shone even brighter, and his right eye, like the abyss of the Void, deepened further. His cultivation had firmly stabilized at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, only a step away from the middle stage. More importantly, his understanding and integration of the laws of stars, the Dao of Void, and the power of the Void had reached a new level. (End of Chapter)
