Passing through the inner palace's protective barrier, the sight before him caused Su Ning's pupils to shrink slightly.

This is a huge circular stone palace with a dome over a hundred feet high, inlaid with countless luminous pearls, resembling a starry sky.

In the center of the hall is a lava pool with a diameter of over thirty feet. Amidst the churning red lava, a giant blue cauldron can be vaguely seen floating within it.

The cauldron is covered with ancient runes and exudes a chilling spiritual pressure—it is the legendary Void Heaven Cauldron!

Even more striking are the six figures surrounding the cauldron.

The three men on the left exuded a menacing aura: a nine-foot-tall, iron-muscled barbarian with a stern beard; the sinisterly Yin Ancestor; and a mysterious cultivator shrouded in black mist.

The two on the right have an air of otherworldly elegance: Wan Tianming is dressed in a white robe with a Bagua mirror floating above his head; Tian Wuzi beside him holds a whisk and exudes an unfathomable aura.

At the edge of the lava pool, Han Li was manipulating two blood jade spiders, their silk wrapped around the handles of the Void Heaven Cauldron, seemingly attempting to retrieve the cauldron.

Upon seeing Su Ning appear, a hint of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Another Core Formation junior has come to his death." The barbarian's voice was as loud as a bell, making the stone hall vibrate.

He didn't even glance at Su Ning; his attention was entirely focused on the Void Heaven Cauldron.

The Yin Ancestor suddenly turned his head, a ferocious look appearing on his withered face: "Su Ning, I didn't expect you to be able to enter the inner hall."

The terrifying pressure from the Nascent Soul stage descended like a mountain, making it difficult for Su Ning to breathe, and causing his bones to crack and pop.

Just as he was about to unleash the Great Wilderness Seal to resist, the God-Slaying Spear at his waist suddenly trembled on its own, and a blood-red sharp light shot into the sky, actually tearing a gap in the oppressive aura!
"What? Senior Jiyin is going to betray the Star Palace?"

"Hmph! You're far too arrogant. Killing you doesn't count as betraying the Star Palace."

"Oh? Then Senior Jiyin, guess whether my master gave me any life-saving magic treasures?"

"Humph!"

"Hmm?" Wan Tianming looked at Su Ning for the first time. "This gun... is interesting."

The old ancestor of extreme yin looked even uglier and was about to make another move when the barbarian interrupted impatiently: "Extreme yin, we can settle personal scores later! Taking the Void Heaven Cauldron is the priority!"

With that, he shouted at Han Li, "Kid, if you dare to hold back again, I'll crush your head right now!"

Han Li appeared fearful, but secretly transmitted his voice to Su Ning: "Senior Brother Su, they forced me to use the Blood Jade Spider to retrieve the cauldron. There is another secret beneath the cauldron. I will pretend to make a mistake, and you should act accordingly."

Su Ning nodded almost imperceptibly and slowly retreated to a stone pillar.

This position allows you to observe the entire field and makes it easy to make a move at any time.

He noticed that Wu Huan was standing behind the Yin Ancestor, staring at him with venomous eyes and holding a black nail-shaped magic weapon in his hand.

"rise!"

Han Li gave a low shout, and the two blood jade spiders plunged their eight legs deep into the ground, their spider silk taut and straight.

The Void Cauldron began to rise slowly, and the runes on its body lit up one by one, causing the entire stone hall to tremble.

The magma churned violently, and the sparks that flew up condensed in the air into phantom images of various rare and precious treasures, drawing the intense gazes of everyone.

"Give it your all!" the bearded man exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement. "It's almost out!"

Just as the Void Heaven Cauldron was about to break free from the magma, the lid suddenly shook, and seven streams of seven-colored light shot out from the crack!

"The Heaven-Mending Pill!" Wan Tianming exclaimed in shock. He could no longer care about anything else and a jade ruler flew out from his sleeve to chase after one of the streaks of light.

The entire stone hall erupted in chaos.

The bearded man laughed wildly, his whole body radiating golden light, and he directly reached out to grab the two nearest streams of light.

The Yin Ancestor transformed into a cloud of black mist, simultaneously enveloping three beams of colorful light.

The mysterious cultivator in the black mist headed straight for Han Li, clearly intending to control the person who would take the cauldron.

"Amitabha!" Tian Wuzi suddenly chanted the Buddha's name, and with a wave of his whisk, thousands of silver threads poured down like a waterfall, simultaneously blocking the barbarian and the Yin Ancestor. "How can such a divine object be allowed to be monopolized by the demonic path!"

"You bald monk, you're asking for death!" the bearded man roared, throwing a punch at the silver hair.

He was known as the strongest in terms of physical strength in the Chaotic Star Sea. The power of his punch directly shattered most of the silver threads of his whisk, but the Heaven-Mending Pill was also sent flying.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a glint of light flashed in Su Ning's eyes.

He had already locked onto a Heaven-Mending Pill flying towards him, and at this moment, the God-Slaying Spear emerged like a venomous snake, its tip precisely striking the colorful light.

"Ding--"

With a crisp sound, the colorful light dissipated, revealing a seven-colored pill the size of a longan. The pill had seven orifices on its surface, and one could vaguely see the flow of misty energy inside.

Suning grabbed it and immediately put it into the jade box he had prepared beforehand.

"How dare you, you little thief!" Wu Huan shouted, and the black nail transformed into a streak of black light, shooting towards Su Ning's back.

This object is called "Mourning Nail," which is specifically designed to break through the protective aura of the body. Once it enters the body, it will corrode the golden core.

Suning was prepared and immediately unleashed the Great Wilderness Seal.

With a clang, the Mourning Nail was knocked away, but the Wuhuan seized the opportunity to close in, their hands forming claws as they aimed straight for Su Ning's throat.

The claws were fierce, leaving five dark streaks in the air—this was the "Mysterious Yin Ghost Claw," a unique skill of the Extreme Yin Island, containing deadly poison.

"Well done!" Su Ning neither dodged nor evaded, his God-Slaying Spear sweeping across the battlefield.

Having devoured countless Yin souls in the Spirit Abyss, this spear is now even more powerful than before, and the space itself is slightly distorted wherever its tip passes.

The Wuhuan dared not meet the attack head-on, and their bodies mysteriously split into three, attacking from different angles.

This is the secret technique of the Extreme Yin Island, "Yin Demon Illusion Body," and each illusion body possesses 70% of the original body's strength.

"A mere trick." Su Ning sneered, and the Thousand Illusion Mask suddenly shone brightly, transforming into three figures.

Even more astonishingly, the god-slaying spear in the hands of each phantom exuded a truly real and ferocious aura!
Wu Huan was shocked and hastily retreated in his true form, only to be struck in the right arm by a spear beam.

The terrifying power of the God-Slaying Spear erupted, and the entire arm instantly withered and died, its life essence completely devoured.

"Ah!" Wu Huan cried out in agony, staring in horror at his withered arm. "What kind of evil weapon is this?!"

Just as Suning was about to press their advantage, a sudden sense of unease arose in their hearts.

A chilling divine sense locked onto him, and the voice of the Extreme Yin Ancestor rang in his ears: "You little beast, how dare you injure the young master of Extreme Yin Island! I will make you wish you were dead!"

The old monster's furious attack was no joke.

However, Su Ning crushed the "Star Escape Talisman" given to him by Jin Kui without hesitation, and his figure instantly moved ten feet to the side.

The spot where they were standing was struck by a ball of green fire, and the ground was corroded into a bottomless black hole.

At this critical moment, a strange change suddenly occurred in the center of the stone hall.

The Void Cauldron had risen more than halfway up, its body tilting, and it looked like it was about to be pulled out of the magma.

Suddenly a flash of bloody light appeared, and Han Li's Blood Jade Spider was cut in half at the waist!

The one who made the move was Elder Jia, a Star Palace elder who appeared out of nowhere!
"Star Palace!" The bearded man's eyes widened in fury. "Old man Jin Kui, you're asking for death!"

At the entrance of the hall, Jin Kui stood with his hands behind his back, with three Star Palace elders standing behind him.

He said calmly, "The Void Heaven Cauldron is the treasure that guards the Star Palace. How can we allow outsiders to lay a finger on it?"

The Void Cauldron sank sharply upon losing a Blood Jade Spider.

Han Li coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward, while the other spider was also unable to maintain its position.

Just when all his efforts were about to be in vain, the barbarian roared and charged directly into the lava pool, intending to seize the Void Heaven Cauldron by force with his bare body.

"Brother Man, you mustn't!" Elder Jiyin cried out urgently, "Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't withstand this Azure Ice Flame!"

But it was too late.

Just as the bearded man approached the edge of the pool, the Void Cauldron suddenly shone with a bright blue light, and a blue pillar of fire shot into the sky.

The bearded man couldn't dodge in time and was grazed on the left arm by the pillar of fire, which instantly turned his entire arm to ashes!

"Ah!" The Nascent Soul cultivator roared in pain and had no choice but to retreat violently.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Han Li swayed and pretended to collapse, falling into a fiery crevice.

Everyone's attention was focused on the Heaven-Mending Pill, and no one paid any attention to the "severely injured and dying" Core Formation cultivator.

The hall was now in complete chaos.

Of the seven Heaven-Mending Pills, Wan Tianming obtained two, Tian Wuzi one, Man Huzi one, Ji Yin Laozu one, Su Ning one, and the remaining one was snatched away by the mysterious cultivator in the black mist.

All factions are wary of each other, yet dare not act rashly—after all, no one wants to become the target of everyone's criticism.

Jin Kui spoke up at the opportune moment: "Everyone, the Heaven-Mending Pill depends on fate. Why don't we stop here? If we continue fighting, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave the Void Heaven Palace."

His words contained a veiled threat.

Although only four Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Palace came, they controlled part of the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace. If they really fought hard, no one present would have a good outcome.

Wan Tianming snorted coldly: "Xinggong has a good plan! But this matter is not over."

After saying that, he took Tian Wuzi and they transformed into a beam of light and left.

With his arm severed, the bearded man glared venomously at Jin Kui before turning and leaving.

The Yin Ancestor wanted to cause trouble for Su Ning, but Jin Kui stood in front of him with a half-smile, so he had no choice but to leave with resentment.

However, these few Nascent Soul stage cultivators went off to fight elsewhere, unwilling to let others take away their "great opportunity".

After everyone had dispersed, Jin Kui turned to Su Ning and asked, "Disciple, did you gain anything?"

Su Ning took out the Heaven-Mending Pill: "I have fulfilled my mission."

Jin Kui shook his head: "Keep it safe, this is your opportunity. What I want is the Zhou Tian Star Chart."

Su Ning's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to answer, the God-Slaying Spear suddenly trembled violently, its tip pointing directly at the bottom of the Void Heaven Cauldron.

At the same time, the Star Marrow Jade in his arms also began to heat up—the two treasures were simultaneously sensing the location of the star map that Jin Kui had mentioned!
"Master, the star map is probably still inside the Void Heaven Cauldron..."

"Alas! What a pity! It seems I am not destined for the star chart."

Then, Elder Jin Kui of the Star Palace left with a look of utter disappointment...

……

At this moment, the chaotic battle among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, triggered by the Heaven-Mending Pill, continued. Six streams of light darted through the stone hall, as the Nascent Soul stage monsters displayed their supernatural abilities in pursuit, the explosive sounds of colliding spiritual energy ringing out incessantly.

Meanwhile, only three Core Formation stage cultivators—Su Ning, Han Li, and Wu Huan—remained at the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Azure Ice Flame Lava Pool, along with a dangerous figure lurking in the shadows: Xuan Gu Shangren.

Just as Su Ning put the Heaven-Mending Pill he had obtained into his pocket, a chilling sensation suddenly came from behind him.

"You little bastard, prepare to die!"

Wu Huan's Death Knife transformed into a streak of dark light, aiming straight for Su Ning's back. At the same time, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and three bolts of Yin Thunder blocked Su Ning's retreat from different angles.

This attack was extremely vicious, clearly intended to kill instantly!
It turns out that before leaving to participate in the great battle, the Supreme Yin Ancestor specifically instructed his disciple Wuhuan to secretly find an opportunity to kill Su Ning.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Su Ning's lips curled up slightly, and his figure moved three feet to the side like a ghost.

The nails brushed past the hem of a garment, corroding a stone pillar and creating a hole the size of a bowl.

The three bolts of Yin lightning were all deflected back by the suddenly appearing Great Wilderness Seal.

"How is this possible?!" Wu Huan hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed on the shoulder by a rebounding bolt of Yin lightning, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

He stared incredulously at the golden seal. "It can actually reflect magic?!"

Suning gave them no chance to breathe, and the God-Slaying Spear shot out like a blood-red lightning bolt.

The space at the tip of the spear twisted, forming a miniature vortex that threw Wu Huan's spiritual energy into chaos.

Wu Huan hurriedly summoned a bone shield to defend himself, but with a "crack" sound, his natal magic weapon, which had been with him for many years, was pierced through by a spear!
"Ah!" The spear's momentum hadn't subsided, leaving a bloody hole in Wu Huan's right chest.

Even more terrifying, the flesh at the wound site withered rapidly, and the vital essence flowed along the blood lines on the gun barrel towards Su Ning.

This is precisely the newly awakened "Bloodthirsty" divine power of the God-Slaying Spear.

The Wuhuan people turned pale and staggered backward.

He never dreamed that with his Core Formation Perfection cultivation, he wouldn't last three moves against Su Ning!
At this moment, he finally understood why his younger brother, Wu Chou, had fallen into this man's hands.

"The young master of Extreme Yin Island? Nothing special." Su Ning pressed forward step by step, the God-Slaying Spear humming and trembling, craving more essence blood.

The spear tip was aimed at the Wuhuan's brow; this strike was meant to take his life!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A dark figure suddenly darted out from the fissure in the ground, so fast that even Su Ning didn't have time to react.

The dark figure plunged straight into the top of Wu Huan's head, causing Wu Huan to freeze in place, his eyes rolling back and his whole body convulsing.

"Possession?!" Su Ning's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly retreated.

The Wuhuan's body was twisted strangely, and something seemed to be wriggling under his skin, emitting a roar that was not human.

A moment later, the "Wuhuan" stood up straight again, his eyes completely changed...

Sinister, cunning, and ruthless with the vicissitudes of life.

"Tsk tsk, this body may be a bit lacking, but it's still enough." 'Wuhuan' stretched his limbs, his voice hoarse like the friction of rust, "Junior, thank you for severely injuring this fool, saving me a lot of effort."

Alarm bells rang in Suning's mind.

This breath...

He is a Nascent Soul cultivator! And definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Senior Xuan Gu?" Han Li's voice suddenly came from the other side.

He had somehow crawled out of the fissure in the earth, looking disheveled, but his eyes gleamed with a hidden sharpness. "Didn't you say you'd wait until I got the Void Heaven Cauldron before..."

"The plan has changed." The Xuan Gu Shangren, who had possessed the body of Wuhuan, smiled sinisterly. "This kid's God-Slaying Spear can restrain the restrictions of the Void Heaven Cauldron, so it's perfect for use."

It turns out that this Xuan Gu Shangren was an old demon possessing Han Li, who had been lurking and waiting for an opportunity.

Now reborn in the body of the Wuhuan, although his cultivation has not returned to its peak, he still possesses the vision and experience of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the center of the stone hall, the Void Heaven Cauldron, having lost the pull of the Blood Jade Spider, had sunk back into the magma.

Xuan Gu squinted at the cauldron, then glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivators vying for the Heaven-Mending Pill in the distance, and suddenly said, "Boy, do you want a piece of the pie?"

These words were naturally directed at Suning.

Before a response could be given, Xuan Gu quickly explained, "I'll deal with the Blue Qian Ice Flame inside the cauldron. Han boy, you'll use the other Blood Jade Spider Void Cauldron body. As for you..."

He looked meaningfully at Su Ning in front of him, "You need to cooperate with our actions."

"Hmph! What benefit would I get?"

"Naturally, the treasures in the cauldron will be divided equally."

Han Li transmitted his voice at the opportune moment: "Senior Brother Su, let's cooperate for now. This old demon is well-versed in the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace. After obtaining the treasure, we can join forces to eliminate him."

After a brief deliberation, Suning nodded: "Okay."

The three acted swiftly.

Han Li released the last remaining Blood Jade Spider, while Xuan Gu cast several spells to temporarily shield the spatial fluctuations around the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Su Ning was in charge of guarding the area, while secretly activating the Tai Xu Realm to sense the spatial structure beneath the cauldron.

"rise!"

With a low shout from Han Li, the Blood Jade Spider's eight legs plunged deep into the ground, its silk taut and straight.

The Void Cauldron rose slowly once more, this time the runes on its body lit up much faster—the Xuan Bone's incantation had taken effect.

As the Void Heaven Cauldron rose into the air, its lid suddenly trembled, and three distinct beams of light burst forth simultaneously:
A dark blue flame shot out like a serpent, freezing the space in its path. It was the Blue Dry Ice Flame that Xuan Gu had been dreaming of.

A golden light enveloped the Void Heaven Cauldron, and the spider silk wrapped around its handles began to crack, indicating that it was about to break free.

The most astonishing thing was the silvery-white light emerging from beneath the cauldron, which was the spatial origin that formed the foundation of the Void Heaven Palace, and it was leaking out now because the restriction was loosened!
"Do it!"

Xuan Gu lunged at Lan Qian Ice Flame first, spitting out a gray bead that temporarily froze the terrifying ice flame.

Han Li then unleashed seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, forming a sword array that entwined around the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Su Ning did not rush to compete for it, but pretended to cooperate as much as possible, while in fact he was fully activating his own spatial world to devour the Void Heaven Cauldron space.

The projection of the spatial world within his dantian suddenly unfolded, greedily devouring the leaking spatial essence.

As the Void Heaven Cauldron was slowly removed, this space became unstable.

As the devouring proceeded, the spatial world expanded at a visible speed, while the Void Palace space began to tremble violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the dome!

"What's going on?" Xuan Gu, who had just subdued the Blue Heavenly Flame, was shocked by what he saw. "Why is the Void Heaven Palace becoming increasingly unstable? If this continues, the entire Void Heaven Palace will collapse!"

Suning turned a deaf ear.

At this moment, he was immersed in a wonderful state, and the spatial structure of the Taixu Realm and the Xutian Palace resonated with each other, and countless insights about the Great Dao of Space surged into his mind.

"Senior Xuan Gu, could this be related to our actions?"

"It's possible! So we must act quickly."

Just as Xuan Gu finished collecting the Azure Ice Flame, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He pretended to help stabilize the space, then suddenly struck Su Ning in the back with a palm!
This palm strike contained terrifying spiritual power at the Nascent Soul level, and the palm was also wrapped with the newly subdued Blue Qian Ice Flame, clearly intended to kill with one blow!
"Senior Brother Su, be careful!" Han Li was prepared and intercepted Xuan Gu with a sword light in time.

At the same time, he secretly activated the restriction left in Xuan Gu's body, causing the old demon's movements to falter.

It was in this brief delay that Suning became alert.

The God-Slaying Spear moved with effortless ease, and with a swift turn, unleashed a "Triple God-Slaying Strike," the spear tip blazing with a three-foot-long crimson light, forcing Xuan Gu back more than ten feet.

"Good! Good! Good!" Xuan Gu laughed instead of getting angry. "So you two actually know each other! You two juniors dare to scheme against this old man! Today I'll show you what the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is!"

He made a hand seal, and Wuhuan's body suddenly swelled up, with countless bone spurs emerging from under his skin.

This is Xuan Gu's famous ultimate technique, "Heavenly Bone Demon Body," which, when combined with the Blue Dry Ice Flame, is even more powerful than before.

"Junior Brother Han, form the formation!" Su Ning shouted, activating the Great Wilderness Seal with all his might, its binding power enveloping Xuan Bone.

Han Li understood immediately, and the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords formed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, completely surrounding Xuan Gu.

Even more insidious, he secretly released a swarm of gold-devouring insects. Under the cover of the sword light, these ferocious insects quietly crawled towards Xuan Gu's feet.

"A mere trick!" Xuan Gu sneered, opening his mouth to spew out blue-green ice flames.

Wherever the extreme cold flames passed, even the sword light was frozen.

Just as the sword formation was about to collapse, Su Ning suddenly thrust his spear into the ground!
"Taixuyin!"

The entire spatial structure of the Void Heaven Palace trembled violently, and the ground beneath Xuan Gu's feet suddenly collapsed, revealing the churning magma below.

Caught off guard, the old demon swayed and was about to take flight when he was covered in gold-devouring insects that had been lurking for a long time!
"Ah!" Xuan Gu screamed repeatedly. These ferocious insects were specifically designed to break through the protective aura of the body. In the blink of an eye, they bit through the flesh and began to gnaw at the bones.

Strike while the iron is hot! Su Ning and Han Li attacked simultaneously.

The God-Slaying Spear pierced Xuan Gu's chest like a crimson thunderbolt, while seventy-two flying swords formed a sword wheel that twisted toward his neck.

The golden thunder of the Golden Thunder Bamboo tormented Xuan Gu like a maggot clinging to his bone, while Su Ning also unleashed his signature move, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

"You brat... how dare you!" Xuan Gu sensed danger and tried to escape by having his soul leave his body, but Su Ning, who was prepared, killed him with the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

This old demon, who had roamed the chaotic star sea for hundreds of years, finally fell to two junior Core Formation cultivators.

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, the entire Void Heaven Palace began to collapse!
The giant boulder crashed down, and lava gushed from the cracks in the ground.

Suning's spatial world has devoured too much spatial origin, shaking the foundation of the Void Heaven Palace.

"Senior brother, let's go!" Han Li put away the Void Heaven Cauldron and grabbed Su Ning. "I know a secret passage!"

Not long after the two left, Jin Kui arrived in haste with the Star Palace Elders, only to find the place in ruins.

The Grand Elder of the Star Palace gazed at the spot where the Void Heaven Cauldron had once stood, a complex and unfathomable expression on his face: "How could this be? The Void Heaven Cauldron was really taken by someone else? How did the Void Heaven Palace collapse?"

Meanwhile, in a hidden passage, Han Li ran and asked, "Senior Brother Su, where do we go next?"

Su Ning felt the surging spatial power within the spatial world and smiled slightly: "The Void Heaven Palace is about to collapse! We'd better leave here quickly."

"it is good."

At the end of the passage, a portal shimmering with starlight could be faintly seen, and behind it emanated waves of rich spiritual energy…
