Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu

Within the Star Abyss Secret Realm, the Star-Devouring Vine's attack intensified. The pitch-black vines surged forth like a tide, their lashes growing stronger and stronger, and the aura of poison growing ever more concentrated.

Lin Ye and Shen Qingyuan faced off back to back, their backs intertwined. Starlight sword energy and star power fist wind intertwined, constantly cutting off the attacking vines. However, the vines regenerated extremely quickly, and the two of them gradually fell into a disadvantage as their star power was constantly depleted. Their bodies were already soaked in sweat and vine venom, and their situation became increasingly difficult.

Just as the two were struggling to cope, two cold and piercing laughs suddenly rang out from the dark purple mist. Two black figures, their bodies shrouded in thick black energy, slowly emerged from the mist and stood behind the Star-Eating Vine. Their eyes were as sinister as venomous snakes, staring intently at Lin Ye, their gazes filled with greed and murderous intent.

Both were high-ranking elders of the Netherworld branch, with cultivation levels far exceeding those of the previous assassins. Their bodies were filled with surging demonic energy, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"You little bastard, you didn't expect this, did you? Our leader has already laid a trap in the five secret realms, just waiting for you to walk right into it!" The tall, thin, dark figure on the left licked his dry, cracked lips and sneered. "Your companions are all in dire straits now. The Wind and Thunder Secret Realm is besieged, the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is under attack, the Ancient Battlefield is surrounded by remnant souls, and even the little girl who relays messages on the outskirts is about to die. No one can come to save you! Hand over the alien origin obediently, and I might spare you a whole corpse, so you can suffer less!"

"That's right, this Star Abyss Secret Realm is your burial ground! Hand over your source, and I'll spare the life of this girl beside you. Otherwise, you two will both die here, drained dry by the Star Devouring Vine!" The short, fat, dark figure on the right followed closely behind, his tone sinister. With a wave of his hand, he channeled demonic energy into the Star Devouring Vine, making its attacks even more ferocious.

Upon hearing that all his companions were in dire straits, Xing Jin's panic, Jiang Xubai's perseverance, A Yan's fighting spirit, Luo Li's support, and Chu Ling's predicament flashed through Lin Ye's mind. The last trace of softness in his eyes was instantly replaced by an extremely fierce fighting spirit.

He recalled his past life, riding through torrential rain and strong winds, rushing to deliver orders even when he was close to being late; he remembered his unwavering determination to never abandon a delivery, no matter how difficult the food was to deliver or how bumpy the journey was; he remembered his senior sister who protected him; and he remembered his group of partners who unconditionally trusted him and fought for him.

He cannot fall, he cannot back down. He must break the deadlock, he must save his senior sister, and he must save everyone who has walked alongside him!

The discomfort from his bloodied hands and the panic after killing him all transformed into a protective force. His blood-stained hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the intent of the Tian Shu Star Fist erupted completely within his body. The alien origin was fully activated, and the silver-white star power around him surged, subtly suppressing the viscous star power and demonic energy around him.

"Dream on!" Lin Ye roared to the sky, his voice powerful and resonant, piercing through the thick fog. "You injured my companions, imprisoned my senior sister, and laid such a vicious trap. Today, I will wipe out you villains and make you pay a terrible price for your actions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped being on the defensive and stomped his foot hard on the star crystals under his feet. His figure shot out like an arrow and charged straight towards the Star Devouring Vine and the two Netherworld experts.

The Heavenly Pivot Star Fist technique was fully unleashed, with the ferocity of breaking through enemy lines, the fierceness of the overtime-breaking punch, and the tenacity of never retreating in dire straits all incorporated into each punch. Wherever the fist passed, star power exploded, and the dark vines snapped one by one.

"Celestial Pivot Star Fist - Time-Limited Rage Fist!"

A fierce and unparalleled fist gust of wind roared out, carrying an unwavering determination to fight to the death, directly attacking the two Netherworld Branch experts.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingyuan's eyes instantly surged with killing intent, her cold face filled with determination. Her star-patterned sword rose into the air, its starlight dazzling to the extreme, transforming into streaks of meteor sword energy, fighting alongside Lin Ye.

Sword light and fist wind merged, silvery-white light tore through the dark purple mist, carrying a do-or-die spirit, breaking through the multiple crises in front of them with all their might!

"Junior brother, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"

"Senior sister, let's break this deadlock together and then go save everyone!"

Lin Ye's voice was calm and firm, without a trace of cowardice or confusion. His blood-stained fists were not for killing, but for protection; not for opportunity, but for his comrades who had shared life and death with him. He wanted to fight his way out and overcome all obstacles!

The warmth of the delivery box suddenly grew hotter and hotter, like an inner sun soothing his restless alien nature and awakening his ingrained sense of duty as a delivery driver—to be on time no matter the weather and never let down the trust placed in him.

At this moment, the hidden power deep within the delivery box finally awakens—it is the "Star Power Resonance·Domain Deployment" generated from the resonance between mortal civilization and the origin of stars!

The immense star power exploded instantly from his left arm! The star power and demonic energy, which were originally as thick as lead, were instantly shaken apart by this domineering resonance. Even the endless and rapidly regenerating Star-Devouring Vine trembled violently at this moment, as if it had encountered its natural nemesis.

"boom--!"

A torrent of golden stellar energy burst through the black mist, instantly blasting away and vaporizing countless Star-Devouring Vines. Broken branches of the pitch-black vines rained down like a storm, and the dark purple mist was actually breached by this torrent of stellar energy, creating a massive gap ten feet in diameter!

"Impossible!" The expressions of the two high-ranking members of the Netherworld Branch changed drastically. They had never seen such domineering stellar power before. "This... this is the power generated by the fusion of alien origin and something else!"

"Too late to realize!" Lin Ye's eyes were sharp, and his figure transformed into a golden afterimage as he rushed straight towards one of the higher-ups with the deepest demonic energy.

When the intent of the Tian Shu Star Fist reaches its peak, a resolute pattern faintly appears on the fist tip, which is a kind of soul-deep, never-give-up will to fight to the death!

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, Lin Ye's fist struck the opponent precisely in the chest. The high-ranking official didn't even have time to scream before his demonic energy was instantly crushed by the star power. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant star rock, his brains splattering out, and he died on the spot.

The remaining high-ranking official was so terrified that he turned around and tried to escape into the fog.

"Senior sister, it's up to you!" Lin Ye said in a low voice.

Shen Qingyuan was already poised to strike. Her Star Pattern Sword transformed into a dazzling silver rainbow, closely following Lin Ye. Star power enveloped the sword light, tearing through the air and mercilessly piercing the opponent's throat.

With the fall of the two masters, the endless Star-Devouring Vines lost their demonic energy support, and their regeneration speed plummeted instantly. Lin Ye unleashed a backhand punch, using the full power of the Heavenly Pivot Star Fist: Breaking the Single Formation. The golden star power, like a giant axe, directly shattered the entire vine array's core, and the remaining Star-Devouring Vines withered and turned to ashes instantly.

The dark purple mist completely dissipated, revealing the truth of the Star Abyss Secret Realm to the two of them.
