Devouring Star Heart: Illusionary Demon Lord

Just as tens of millions of inheritors were making a ruckus over the entire Purple Thorn Island, an immense and unparalleled pressure suddenly descended, like the sky collapsing, instantly enveloping the entire Purple Thorn Island, even causing subtle ripples in the void.

A colossal creature, resembling a dragon, hovered in the heavens, its body stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers. Its enormous wings spread like dark clouds obscuring the sky. A ferocious dragon head slowly emerged, its golden vertical pupils like two blazing suns, coldly surveying the beings below, its majestic aura soaring to the heavens. "How dare a cosmic overlord assassinate a successor in the sacred ground of my Ancestral God Sect! Hmph, what audacity!" The voice of the Guardian Beast God boomed like thunder, shaking the void. Every word carried unyielding fury. "Blatantly violating the prohibitions of my Ancestral God Sect, openly provoking its bottom line, such actions deserve only death! They shall perish forever!" As his voice faded, the pressure around him grew even heavier, like a bottomless abyss, threatening to crush the heavens and earth and pulverize all things. "Those three overlords who assassinated the Heart Illusion King, even if they are resurrected through time, my Ancestral God Sect will hunt them down to the very end, without mercy!"

Under the immense pressure, tens of millions of inheritors turned pale, their breathing became labored, and their hearts churned with overwhelming tremors—the Ancestral God Sect's attitude this time was far more forceful than ever before, and it was by no means just empty threats.

The guardian beast god hovering above Purple Thorn Island once again looked down, its voice resounding throughout the entire island with undeniable majesty: "Disperse!" It paused, then emphasized: "Everyone remember, the Heart Illusion King is a key inheritor protected by our Ancestral God Sect. Anyone who dares to attack him again is challenging the bottom line of the Ancestral God Sect and will be subjected to the most severe persecution!"

"yes!"

Countless inheritors bowed in response, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

Immediately, the guardian beast god in the sky flickered and disappeared into thin air. Only then did the inheritors who had been holding their breath and not daring to make a move breathe a sigh of relief and show a look of relief on their faces.

"What's going on? In the past, there have been cases of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect being assassinated, and there have even been killings among the inheritors themselves. But we've never seen the Ancestral God Sect go to such lengths to hunt down the resurrected assassins." One of the inheritors was full of doubt and whispered among themselves.

"Foolish! You don't even understand this?" The inheritor sneered, lowering his voice, "Clearly, the Ancestral God Sect has already given the Heart Illusion King special treatment. Haven't you seen how biased the Ancestral God Sect is towards the Insect-Chasing King? Now, the Heart Illusion King is likely to become the second Insect-Chasing King!"

"The King of Illusions? Could he become the second King of Insect Chasing?"

"Hmph, with such heaven-defying potential, once the Heart Illusion King breaks through to the Immortal realm, his strength will probably be much stronger than the Insect Chaser King. The Insect Chaser King can only suppress ordinary Venerables at the Immortal realm, but the Heart Illusion King, as a Realm Lord, already has that kind of strength. The two are not even in the same league, okay? The Ancestral God Sect will naturally give him special protection."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Ancestral God Church went so far as to publicly warn all races and even threaten to hunt him down to the end." The inheritors of various races in the universe gathered in twos and threes to talk, and then turned into streams of light and dispersed.

This is too ruthless! Assassinating a successor already violates the Ancestral God Sect's prohibition, but the Beast God who protects the sect has publicly declared that even if the assassin is resurrected, he will not escape the Ancestral God Sect's pursuit. This is clearly a consensus among the Ancestral God Sect's higher-ups, which sends chills down the spines of countless successors, who dare not even entertain the slightest thought of transgression.

"I never expected these alien races to surround and kill me so quickly within the territory of the Ancestral God Sect." Wu Qingfeng stood in front of the mansion, his expression calm and unwavering. "I was assassinated the moment I stepped out of my house. They went so far as to use three overlords and even a top overlord to take my life. They really gave me face. Unfortunately, despite all their efforts, they couldn't even harm me in the slightest. They only managed to deplete some of my energy."

He fought over 150,000 battles in the Land of Inheritance, achieving remarkable results. The news that the alien race wanted to assassinate him had already spread like wildfire on Purple Thorn Island and was known to everyone. While other inheritors could guess the alien race's plot, Wu Qingfeng, with his intelligence, naturally had already seen through everything and was prepared.

He was brimming with confidence—possessing a clone of Shi Heng, he only needed to secure the original core within the safest part of his main body in Chaos City, and he would have no further worries. Even if this clone he was currently displaying was destroyed, he could revive using the original core; moreover, as long as his soul wasn't truly annihilated, the inheritance token wouldn't break, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake would determine that he was still alive, and no one could touch any of his treasures—the slightest touch would result in a fatal backlash from the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, instantly destroying him. With all this, what did he have to fear?

Wu Qingfeng had calmly walked out of the mansion just now because he wanted to see what tricks these alien races would pull. He possessed an exceptionally strong will and was proficient in illusion and soul defense techniques, making him completely unafraid of any form of soul control. What could these powerful alien races possibly do to him?

"Unfortunately, after this battle, unless the alien races enlist the help of the strongest in the Lone Universe, they probably won't dare to attack me again—the alien races know that attacking me would not only be futile, but would also cost them their lives." Swoosh! With a slight thought, his figure flashed away like a streak of light, heading to the land of the Beast God's inheritance to begin a new path of inheritance.

Deep within Purple Thorn Island, in the secret realm of the Beast God's inheritance, Venerable Jiufeng smiled as he gazed upon Wu Qingfeng, who had returned from the inheritance. His tone was full of praise: "Heart Illusion King, congratulations! Your name has spread throughout the universe. In hundreds of thousands of glorious battles, you have lost very few times. It seems you have already perfected the cultivation of the fourth level of inheritance."

"Just lucky." Wu Qingfeng nodded slightly, his expression humble yet neither servile nor arrogant.

Venerable Jiufeng laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration: "No need for modesty. Your talent is highly regarded even among the super-beings of the human race." He paused, then waved his hand, and a dazzling teleportation portal appeared before Wu Qingfeng. His tone was solemn: "You have completed the fourth level of inheritance. Now, you may step into this teleportation portal to receive the fifth level of the Beast God's inheritance. May you achieve another breakthrough in this fifth level!"

A glint of light flashed in Wu Qingfeng's eyes, and a surge of anticipation welled up in his heart—each level of the Beast God's inheritance was vastly different, and the fifth level would undoubtedly elevate his understanding of the laws and his strength to a new level. He bowed slightly to Venerable Jiufeng, then without further hesitation, turned and stepped into the teleportation channel. His figure instantly vanished into the void as he headed to receive the fifth level of the Beast God's inheritance.

Venerable Jiufeng gazed in the direction where the teleportation channel had disappeared, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes. He murmured softly, "Heart Illusion King, I hope you grow strong and powerful as soon as possible, becoming a pillar of the clan!"
