Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Chen Xing glanced at her, his gaze calm as still water: "Didn't your cousin say I wouldn't agree?"

Mu Xiyan's lips twitched slightly, as if a suppressed smile was about to appear.

A fleeting glimpse at the corner of his mouth:

"She said that you're not the type of person who easily agrees to cooperate with others."

Because you don't want to be used as a pawn.

She looked up at him, her star-like eyes shining brightly in the night.

"But my cousin also said that she doesn't mind waiting."

Because when you're willing to cooperate, you'll be more valuable than anyone else realizes.

She said that someone like you either doesn't agree at all, or if you do, you'll do your best.

She turned around, her skirt swaying gently in the night.

The star patterns on the pale purple skirt shimmered in the light.

"I'll stay at Qitian Palace for now. You can contact me directly if you want to discuss cooperation."

I stayed in the guest room in the east wing; a purple lantern hung outside the door.

Her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, her footsteps so light they seemed to be part of the night breeze itself.

Only a faint trace of starlight remained in the night breeze.

As quiet as when she arrived,

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Chen Xing did not answer. He simply looked again at the distant star field.

The night breeze lifted his robes slightly, revealing the storage bag hanging at his waist.

He whispered something, something only he could hear.

The voice drifted on the night wind: "The Myriad Ruins Starfield... It's time to make a trip there."

The night wind continued to blow across the roof of the Qitian Palace, carrying that sentence into the depths of the void.

Like leaving a silent trace in the starry sky,

It drifted towards that dark purple star field.

……

The following morning, the Liming took off from the Qitian Palace.

The ship's hull was bathed in a golden light.

They turned around and headed towards the dark purple area marked "Wanxu Starfield".

Besides Chen Xing, the people on the ship included Su Tao, Lei Qingyue, Qingya, Shen Yan, and Tun Yuan.

And the newly added Jian Wuhen and Mu Xiyan.

Jian Wuhen's reason was straightforward: he leaned against the ship's railing, his greatsword resting across his lap.

"I can't stay idle. If you need someone to scout ahead, I can do it."

Mu Xiyan's reason was gentle. She stood by the porthole, her pale purple skirt shimmering in the morning light.

My cousin told me to observe and learn more—and incidentally, keep an eye on you for her.

So that you won't take the Nine Heavens Divine Court's good intentions for granted.

Potian and Lao Niu stayed at the Qitian Palace to oversee the overall situation.

The Star River is modifying the defensive array of the Li Ming, saying they want to add an anti-detection barrier.

To avoid being targeted.

Zi Ming and Xue Feng were on duty at the edge of the central star field, responsible for monitoring the movements on the periphery.

As the Liming passed through the last border of the central star system,

The starry sky ahead suddenly dimmed—

It's like walking from a brightly lit city into a moonless wilderness.

The starlight thinned out at the edge, as if it had been mostly swallowed up by something.

At the edge of the Myriad Ruins Starfield, the concentration of laws dropped sharply.

It felt as if most of his spiritual energy had been drained away, and even breathing felt like something was missing from his chest.

Xiao Xiao's voice came from the bridge, tinged with tension:

"A large-scale law vacuum zone has been detected ahead."

The wind-elemental laws have mutated severely, forming a 'vacuum rift'—

The flow of laws within was completely chaotic.

Ordinary flying magical artifacts would immediately lose power upon entering, and even their spiritual energy shields would be torn apart.

Shen Yan stood by the porthole, his icy blue eyes fixed on the edge of that dark purple star field.

The voice was calm: "The vacuum rift is a natural barrier in the Wanxu Starfield."

To get in, you either have to withstand the pressure of the vacuum of laws.

That requires a physical strength of at least the twentieth realm;

The only shortcut is to find a stable fissure passage.

Chen Xing looked at the churning dark purple vortex.

The cyclone faintly reveals traces of spatial distortion.

It's like countless unseen hands stirring up the void.

His voice was calm yet pointed when he spoke:

"Take the rift passage. You wait for me on the ship."

He stepped out of the Liming, his figure hovering in the void, facing the surging vacuum rift.

The Heavenly Eye opened, and golden divine light pierced through the dark purple vortex.

Like a sharp blade cutting through the fog, revealing clearly the chaotic flow of laws.

He saw an extremely narrow gap—within the turbulent currents of the wind elemental laws.

There was a nearly invisible, stable passage, less than ten feet wide.

Like a path forgotten in a storm, the vacuum zones on either side are constantly shifting.

It sounded like a living thing breathing. He spoke, his voice carrying into the ship:

Stay close to me. Don't stray even half a step.

The vacuum zones on either side of the passage will tear apart anything it touches, even draining away the laws themselves.

He was the first to step into the rift, his figure moving through the dark purple vortex.

Five people followed closely behind—Shen Yan's ice patterns formed a thin layer of ice armor around his body.

The cold air condensed into a transparent protective layer on his body;

Green vines twined around everyone's ankles, their emerald foliage extending into the void.

To prevent it from being scattered, the greatsword without a trace of a sword automatically lit up with an ancient sword light.

The runes on the sword lit up one by one, forming a barrier in front of him;

The star patterns on Mu Xiyan's skirt flowed into a faint shield.

A pale purple light surrounded her;

Su Tao's peach petals formed a golden barrier around them, and the petals slowly rotated in the void;

Lei Qingyue's lightning rings flickered in the electric arcs on both sides of the passage.

Six-colored lightning bolts leaped along the edge of the passage, resisting the erosion of the vacuum zone.

The six people spent nearly half an hour traversing the crevice.

The vacuum zones on both sides of the passage continued to expand outward, emitting a low humming sound.

Like two walls squeezing inwards, the passageway becomes narrower and narrower.

Each contraction reduces the width of the channel by a few centimeters.

The width of the passage has shrunk from tens of feet to less than three feet.

The vacuum zones on both sides are almost within reach.

With each breath, one could feel the bone-chilling cold of the laws being drawn away, as if someone were extracting warmth from one's very marrow.

Just as the passage was about to close completely, the view ahead suddenly opened up—

The six people simultaneously passed through the vacuum rift and fell into a completely different starry sky.

The starlight here is steady and clear, and the remains of enormous ancient god statues float in the void.

Some are as big as mountains, their surfaces covered with the marks of time;

Some only had half a face left, with a single eye staring into the void.

The radiance of his life seemed to linger in his eyes;

In the distance, a giant bronze gate can be seen floating in the void.

The facade was covered with patterns of wind-elemental laws, which shimmered faintly in the starlight.

They roamed around the storefront like living creatures.

A token shimmering with a dark cyan light hung on the door—

An ancient divine artifact, the token's surface adorned with ancient patterns resembling the laws of wind.

It exudes a distant and powerful aura.
