Cultivation begins with planting techniques

In that instant, the sense of crisis brought about by the [perception] sounded like an alarm bell.

Without the slightest hesitation, a green leaf on Li Ye's waist suddenly activated, revealing a silver light that instantly teleported him away.

The next moment, a beam of starlight, like a meteorite, condensed and struck down from the sky above the old site, hitting the spot where Li Ye had just been standing.

boom!
The fleeting starlight suddenly erupted, instantly obliterating a large area of ​​dilapidated buildings and reducing them to nothing.

None of the ghouls within range escaped; some died, some were wounded, and a whole bunch of them collapsed immediately.

At the same time, Li Ye, who had moved a great distance away, realized the power of the attack and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

He wondered why Xingchenzi was so vulnerable, his defenses were pierced in an instant, and his physical body was almost destroyed.

Looking at it now, this technique was formed instantly within the great formation. Although it did not change much, its speed and power were extraordinary. If one did not know it in advance, it would be very difficult to dodge it.

The fact that Xingchenzi was able to block the attack, which only pierced his chest and did not kill him instantly, is enough to prove his remarkable defensive skills!
"Um?!"

When Xingmo saw that Li Ye had dodged the attack, he frowned.

Using the Star Tower to command the entire sect's grand formation, it can instantly condense starlight energy in any area covered by the grand formation, yet some people are able to evade it.

Such spiritual perception and void techniques are extremely rare, even among his vast memories!
However, he did not hesitate and made another move.

Even with the restrictions of the grand formation, given the speed displayed by this group of people with late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, it wouldn't take them long to break through the obstacles and leave the old site of the Holy Star Sect.

If they really escape, it will be a long time before he encounters another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like them at his door again!
At least one of them must be left behind!
Swah——

With a flash of starlight, this time Meng Jingde became the target.

His sword-fighting technique is incredibly fast; we need to take him down first!

This time, Meng Jingde's reaction was a step slower than Li Ye's.

Therefore, by the time his expression changed and he tried to dodge, it was already too late.

The starlight that gathered and struck down in an instant flashed by, and he groaned as he was in the midst of his sword escape.

His escape light dissipated, and he was suddenly knocked down.

Having been cultivated to the peak of the fourth tier and developed sentience, the flying sword, which was protecting its master on its own, dimmed its spiritual light slightly.

His pure white robe, adorned with gold patterns, was pierced through, and most of his arm was shattered. A bloody hole, almost piercing through him, was punched near his dantian, and his magical energy continuously leaked out.

The injuries he suffered were even greater than those he sustained with the previous Star Child!

Almost immediately upon falling, a magical umbrella suddenly rose from his body, opened its canopy, and emitted a mysterious light, protecting Meng Jingde within it.

This treasure umbrella is also a fourth-grade superior treasure. If one were not solely focused on escaping, it would be difficult to wield such a treasure.

Otherwise, if he had raised the protective umbrella, even with the sharp starlight, Meng Jingde might not have been injured so badly!
"Fellow Daoist Meng!"

“Brother Meng!”

Xingchenzi exclaimed in surprise, and Bai Minghua's eyes narrowed as he prepared to return to provide assistance.

The Saint Origin Star Scripture is still in Meng Jingde's hands. If he dies, not only will the Saint Star Sect's inheritance be completely severed, but Li Ye and the others will also face difficulties in obtaining the Star Refining Divine Method.

Hehehehegagagagaga—

The black fog surged and suddenly rolled back, engulfing Meng Jingde.

One by one, the six desire demons wandered and moved through it, emitting wisps of six-colored light, causing the power of the black mist to rise rapidly.

With the power of the precious umbrella above Meng Jingde's head, they were able to withstand the starlight that condensed in an instant once again.

Xingchenzi and Li Ye also stopped their flight and joined Meng and Bai. The exchange of inheritances earlier, with each person possessing a copy, still had its uses.

That Star Demon was not a true Nascent Soul cultivator; the array restrictions he could manipulate were actually limited, and he did not truly touch the reserves accumulated within the Star Tower.

In other words, this guy is actually far from being invincible.

This guy mobilized the Star Tower to launch a devastating attack. Even though they were incredibly fast, they couldn't withstand his continuous assault.

Unless they severely injure or kill him, or destroy his ability to manipulate the array, even if they manage to escape, they will likely pay a heavy price.

Let's fight again!
Li Ye remained calm as he produced both the Wooden Divine Cauldron and the Golden-Patterned Turtle Shell.

The golden turtle shell suddenly crashed into him, overlapping and merging with the turtle-patterned robe, instantly making the spiritual patterns on the treasure much more complex, covered by golden patterns.

As the sense of wildness emerged, it empowered Li Ye, causing his magical power to surge and his aura to suddenly become dangerous.

The Wood God Cauldron hovered above his head, resonating with Li Yeqing's profound Dharma body and connecting with every spirit tree that was still going mad. Together with the Star Stone Token in his hand, it began to influence a portion of the Star Array, mobilizing its power.

Xingchenzi's gaze, however, inexplicably turned somewhat manic.

"You ghost, formed from the remnants of an ancient soul, are merely relying on the superficial authority of the Star Tower to wreak havoc. How dare you harm me? How dare you obstruct our departure?"

His gaze swept over the star-studded ruins of the sect, which seemed to still retain some of its ancient grandeur, before he looked directly at the Star Demon and the group of Corpse Demons who were rapidly pursuing them.

Suddenly he made up his mind and immediately transmitted his voice to Li Ye:
"Fellow Daoist Li, I can briefly influence that Star Tower and take some of its array restrictions for my own use. Would that be of any help to your counterattack?"

As mentioned before, Xingchenzi himself is also quite skilled in array formations, but there is a gap compared to Li Ye.

Although he couldn't break through the fifth-order array restriction at the core of this place, and even his authority was suppressed by the Star Demon, he could still discern some of Li Ye's arrangements.

This move destroyed part of the array's restrictions, allowing Li Ye to unleash its full potential. It might be more effective than simply seizing authority to cause a backlash.

Li Ye's eyes brightened slightly.

"That's perfect, fellow Daoist. Please make your move immediately!"

"Please, both of you, protect us!"

"Just do it!"

Bai Minghua responded, and six demonic phantoms of different shapes instantly appeared around him, merging with him, and each of them immediately manifested some of their characteristics on his body.

It immediately transformed into a four-armed demon with two horns on its head, a crack between its brows, and wings spread on its back.

The six demonic forces swirling around him, carrying black mist, surged toward him, transforming into a suit of armor with a jet-black jewel embedded in its chest.

His aura was now infinitely close to the realm of Nascent Soul!

Thus it charged straight at the Star Demon, every move it made stirring up the six desires and striking directly at the soul.

Even though Meng Jingde was severely injured and his limbs were missing, it was secondary that his magical power was invaded and tainted by the starlight, putting him at risk of going into demonic possession.

He also snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Suddenly, he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed directly on the flying sword in front of his chest.

In an instant, a flash of blood appeared, and the flying sword let out a long cry, as if a dragon's shadow was moving within it, before slashing out in a flash.

In an instant, the sword light split into sixteen parts, with wisps of something faintly intertwined between them, almost reaching the realm of refining swords into threads!

With Bai Minghua's help, they surrounded the Star Demon!
This behavior doesn't seem like that of a protector; it's more like they're ready to fight that guy to the death! (End of Chapter)
