Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 289 The Starfall Clan

Liu Sijun secluded herself in a secret chamber for three years, and her Void Eyes were now able to see through three layers of time and space.

When she opened her eyes, a galaxy swirled in her pupils. With a light touch of her fingertips to the Time-Space Scepter, the flow of time and space in the entire Star Pavilion suddenly slowed down.

"Cheung Chau, come and try my new move."

Liu Sijun's voice echoed through time and space as she waved her scepter, tracing a golden path. Gu Changzhou's Molin Sword was suddenly sucked into a spatial rift, only to reappear a thousand miles away in a volcano, its blade covered in millennia-old ice.

"Time and spacetime misalignment!"

Gu Changzhou was pleasantly surprised to find that his Starry Sky Sword Technique, enhanced by the power of spacetime, could appear simultaneously in seven different locations. "This move is perfect for dealing with groups of enemies!"

Just then, a tremor came from the sky.

Liu Sijun's Eye of the Void detected that twelve fallen stars were falling toward the solar system, each of which was ridden by a dark golden creature shaped like a phoenix.

"It's the Starfall Clan!" Liu Sijun recognized these raiders from the edge of the universe. "They're collecting fragments of the spacetime nexus!"

Having gained profound insights from years of fighting demons, he has now made a significant breakthrough in his cultivation.

Just then, Ji He and the others emerged from seclusion.

It's possible to meet the Starfall Clan.

Liu Sijun quickly relayed what he had seen through the Eye of the Void to Ji He and the others.

In less than 15 minutes, everyone had assembled.

Seeing the spiritual energy surging around Ji He, Liu Sijun couldn't help but say, "Master's aura is indeed completely different after breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending stage."

Ji He: "I have indeed benefited a lot in the past few years."

Not only Ji He, but Xu Hechen has also changed a lot. He is focused on studying the forbidden techniques of Yougu Palace and actually found a book about the origin of the universe in an inconspicuous corner of the library. The forbidden techniques recorded in it are more obscure and difficult to understand than any forbidden techniques he has seen before.

But he seems to have an unusual talent for this, and he actually figured it out.

After everyone had assembled, they sped off in the direction where the fallen star had crashed.

Along the way, a sense of oppression permeated the air, as if foreshadowing an impending fierce battle.

As Liu Sijun flew by, he introduced the origins of the Starfall Clan to everyone.

"The Starfall Clan comes from the desolate edge of the universe, a region where spacetime is distorted and resources are scarce. In order to survive, they have gradually developed a plundering habit. They can sense the existence of fragments of spacetime nexus, and once they discover them, they will seize them by any means necessary. These fragments are not only the source of their powerful strength, but also the key for them to leave that desolate land and conquer other regions of the universe."

Gu Changzhou frowned, gripping the Mo Lin Sword tightly, and said, "It seems these guys are not easy to deal with; we must be careful."

Just then, the space in front of them suddenly distorted, and a huge dark golden portal slowly opened.

A flock of dark golden creatures, resembling phoenixes, flew out of the portal. They exuded a chilling aura, and each wing was ablaze with eerie dark golden flames.

These creatures were members of the Starfall Clan, riding on fallen stars, hurtling towards the group like black meteors.

"Watch out, they're very fast!"

Tong Lei shouted, and the phantom of the Golden Roc instantly spread its wings and took flight, circling in the air and watching the Starfall Clan members warily.

Palace Master Ji He stood at the forefront, his body surging with spiritual energy, the Taixu Spiritual Vein Sword in his hand gleaming with dazzling light. He shouted, "Taixu Spiritual Vein - Star River Shattering Shadow!"

With a flick of his sword, a massive galaxy appeared, and the stars within exploded, transforming into countless beams of spiritual energy that shot toward the Starfall Clan.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Starfall Clan let out sharp cries, and the dark golden flames on their wings suddenly surged, forming barriers of fire that blocked Palace Master Jihe's attack.

Xu Hechen stood to the side, his eyes gleaming with a mysterious light.

He formed a mudra with his hands and chanted incantations rapidly.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and streaks of black lightning ripped across the heavens, striking towards the Starfall Clan.

This was the forbidden technique he had learned from the book about the origin of the universe: "Dark Lightning Annihilation".

The members of the Starfall Clan were caught off guard by the sudden black lightning. Several of them, who were slower to react, were struck by the lightning and fell from the Fallen Star.

However, the other members of the Starfall Clan quickly recovered. They flapped their wings, releasing beams of dark golden light that collided with the black lightning, creating violent energy fluctuations.

Palace Master Gong Linghan, wielding the Misty Sword, flashed into the Starfall Clan's ranks like a streak of light.

He unleashed a brand-new sword technique, "Ethereal Starlight," with flashing sword shadows and each strike carrying a sharp sword aura, slicing through the bodies of the Starfall Clan members.

The members of the Starfall Clan scattered in all directions; their speed was so great that it was difficult for Palace Master Gong Linghan's attacks to hit them completely.

Palace Master Teng Lihui then summoned the Yaohua Mirror, whose light shimmered, revealing the weaknesses of the Starfall Clan members.

He shouted, "Attack the base of their wings! That's their weak point!"

Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack direction and launched a fierce attack on the base of the Starfall Clan member's wings.

Li Qing activated the Netherworld Purifying Flame, which transformed into enormous fire serpents that coiled around the Starfall Clan members.

The intense heat of the Netherworld Purification Fire caused the Starfall Clan members to cry out in pain, and their wings began to melt gradually in the flames.

Tong Lei controlled the golden roc phantom, weaving through the Starfall Clan's ranks like a black lightning bolt.

The golden roc's phantom claws gleamed with a cold light, and with each swing, they tore off a piece of flesh from the Starfall Clan member.

Elder Song Hongyuan and Elder Gao Yongxiu were not to be outdone. They each unleashed their unique skills and engaged in a fierce battle with the Starfall Clan.

Elder Song Hongyuan's Shadow Sword Technique was like a black ghost, weaving through the Starfall Clan members, each strike hitting their vital points; Elder Gao Yongxiu, on the other hand, wielded his iron fists, the wind howling, each punch sending Starfall Clan members flying.

Holding the Time-Space Scepter, Liu Sijun stood at the back, her Void Eyes fixed on the battlefield, searching for the best opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, she noticed that several members of the Starfall Clan were trying to break through the group's defenses and fly towards the rear.

She was startled, realizing that these Starfall Clan members might be trying to circle around to the rear to search for fragments of the Time-Space Nexus.

"Cheung Chau, let's go stop them!"

Liu Sijun shouted and waved the Time-Space Scepter, and a time-space rift appeared in front of her and Gu Changzhou.

Without hesitation, the two stepped into the space-time rift and appeared in front of the Starfall Clan members the next second.
