Stargazing and Evil Slaying
Yan Huanyue leaped out of the suspended palace where she was hiding and headed towards the "Heavenly Pillar" suspended palace.
Yun Ruoqing had searched through one suspended palace after another, but she was struggling to find her because she had concealed her presence.
Unexpectedly, a distant suspended palace suddenly trembled, emitting a dazzling light, which then dimmed completely a moment later.
His eyes widened instantly, and within his black pupils, the distant suspended palace gradually dimmed until it was completely devoid of light.
He didn't know the key to this formation; he always thought that what he saw before him was the real Turbid Dust Formation.
That day, the demoness from the Yan Sect came here and wreaked havoc. Fearing that she might accidentally damage the foundation of the formation, he quickly chased after her with a hand seal.
Yan Huanyue flew out of the fake "Heavenly Pillar" suspended palace without looking back at the completely darkened palace behind her. She simply raised her torn sleeve to wipe the blood from her lips as she flew away.
The fake "Heavenly Pillar" star truly belongs to the evil formation.
That star lord was indeed difficult to kill.
She tore off a blue silk ribbon from her waist and threw it behind her. The ribbon brushed against her long hair, which had been disheveled during the fight, and tightly bound her hair behind her head.
Yun Ruoqing will definitely notice something amiss and chase after her. As she destroys the Suspended Palace and dims the star positions along the way, she will surely clash with the Star Official and Yun Ruoqing in the second True Star Palace.
If she cannot resolve these two issues by then, she will have no chance to explore the third true star position.
After flying a distance at top speed, she rushed into one suspended palace after another and slaughtered the star officials.
Yun Xuanchen was, after all, just a mortal. These star officials in the suspended palace, which served as a smokescreen, were just as fragile as the celestial messengers, easily shattered upon contact and killed on sight.
Yan Huanyue killed her way through ten palaces. When she reached the eleventh palace, she had just sneaked in when she was suddenly attacked from behind without warning, sending her flying and crashing into the palace gate.
Yan Huanyue disregarded her pain, only feeling a surge of joy as she discovered another true star position.
She destroyed star palaces all the way here, so Yun Ruoqing must have already followed the trail of the destroyed hanging palaces to get here.
Without waiting any longer, she summoned the Yin-Yang Ring from her sleeve and flicked it backward. A surge of Yin and Yang energies swept out, and a sultry, metallic smell spread out with a "sizzle".
Yan Huanyue first used the Yin-Yang Ring to defend herself, then leaped onto the roof beam of the main hall, tossed the horizontal sword aside, and the sword quickly merged into her body.
She took out the fishing rod she had once taken from Liao Yunu from her treasure pouch, and attached several water-retrieval talismans stained with the blood from her left hand.
Then he knelt cross-legged on the beam, made a hand seal, and suddenly cast the fishing rod downwards. A man dressed in a black robe with star patterns lunged straight at the hook.
She held her breath and cast the fishing rod again. A string of talismans, attached to the rod, floated in the air as she fished out the star official who was attacking the talisman bait. She then retrieved the Yin-Yang Ring and attacked him when he made a mistake.
The star official was lured by the talisman bait under the fishing rod. In his eyes, the talisman bait flying everywhere was the intruder from before.
This intruder only had one skill: throwing those Yin-Yang double rings.
Although she was not a threat, no matter how he slandered her, even though she was covered in blood, she could still dodge and weave, and it was difficult for her to fall down.
Yan Huanyue took out a long black hair from her treasure pouch; it was the hair of a succubus.
She made a hand seal to burn her black hair to ashes, then mixed it with her own blood to form a spell, gently scattering the blood droplets around the talisman.
There's another fish coming soon; we'll have to create a feeding area to lure it in.
Yun Ruoqing chased after the one destroyed hanging palace after another, and soon caught up with them in the vicinity. She then rushed here because of the commotion.
He had just pushed open the door and rushed in when he saw Yan Huanyue covered in blood being chased and killed by a man.
He knew that the man might be a star official here, and instinctively wanted to lend him a hand.
He gripped the blood-stained sword and leaped forward, thrusting it towards Yan Huanyue.
The next moment, the star official appeared in front of his sword, and the tip of his sword just pierced the star official's left arm.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure slammed into his neck. Yun Ruoqing's pupils dilated as she saw a pair of yin-yang rings flying from behind the star official, rapidly attacking him.
He instinctively rolled over to dodge, and was about to explain when the yin-yang ring slammed towards him again without warning.
Yun Ruoqing was about to back down in order to protect himself, but Yan Huanyue suddenly rushed to his side.
The Yin-Yang Ring, which had already flown in front of him, suddenly spun towards the black-robed star official, instantly striking him and causing him to vomit blood.
He took the opportunity to explain the whole story, but the star official seemed not to understand human speech.
Helpless, Yun Ruoqing could only grab Yan Huanyue's hand. Before she could even make a move with the blood sword, the star official attacked in an instant, sending him flying and crashing into the high wall of the hanging palace with a palm strike from a distance.
Yun Ruoqing had already lost her inner core. Although she was gradually recovering with the help of an external core, she was still not as good as before.
The star official's solid blow caused him excruciating pain in his internal organs.
This means they're treating him as Yan Huanyue's companion.
Before he could offer any further explanation, the Yin-Yang Ring, seemingly acting as if to avenge him, recklessly hurled itself at the star official.
The yin and yang energies seemed to solidify, causing the black-robed star official to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Seeing the murderous intent overflowing in the other person's eyes, Yun Ruoqing couldn't help but tighten her grip on the blood sword in her hand and look at Yan Huanyue, who was hiding to the side trembling.
As the star constellation rushed towards him, he rushed towards Yan Huanyue without hesitation and grabbed her right arm.
He originally intended to kill Yan Huanyue and leave immediately, but in the eyes of the star official, this was seen as him wanting to take the intruder away, which was a provocation.
The black-clad star official also jumped over and grabbed Yan Huanyue's right arm, then struck him in the face with a palm strike. At that moment, the Yin-Yang Ring struck the back of the star official's head.
Yun Ruoqing felt the palm wind coming, tilted her head to dodge, and subconsciously swung her sword to stab. However, the star official was temporarily unable to dodge because of the Yin-Yang Ring hitting the back of his head, and was pierced through the abdomen by her sword.
The star official suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, which sprayed all over Yun Ruoqing's face.
As Yun Ruoqing dodged the blood, she glanced to the side and saw that Yan Huanyue's left palm, which the star official was holding, had no wounds whatsoever.
Yun Ruoqing was startled. Before she could even frown, she saw the star official standing half a step away from her suddenly turn ferocious, and tiny specks of light gathered around him, which in the blink of an eye condensed into a huge, cold white halo.
The halo suddenly exploded, tearing Yan Huanyue, who was being pulled by the two, into pieces. It also blasted Yun Ruoqing towards the roof of the suspended palace. As he crashed into it and fell downwards, he felt himself being struck several times by the Yin-Yang Ring before crashing heavily to the ground.
He felt as if his liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and his bones were shattered, causing him excruciating pain. His body was covered in burns from the Yin-Yang Rings, making it impossible for him to move.
Struggling to look in the direction of the star official, he saw that the star official had been cut in two by a horizontal sword, falling to the ground like two pieces of chopsticks.
Yan Huanyue's fragments gradually floated up, turning into pieces of yellow talisman paper.
He blinked in disbelief, only to see Yan Huanyue leap in front of him with a long fishing rod attached to her back.
He wanted to say something, but she swiftly raised her knife and struck.
Yun Ruoqing felt a chill in his throat as blood rushed up, seeping into his nose and mouth, choking him and making him feel suffocated.
Gradually, everything in front of me began to blur.
He felt his head being pulled up by his hair, and in his dying moments, his tear-filled eyes reflected Yan Huanyue's blurry face.
At that moment, the excruciating pain and the stark threat of death overwhelmed him, and he even subconsciously wanted to beg her to spare him.
He saw her raise a knife and hold it to his neck.
It's so cold...
The corpse in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and blood gushed from his chest.
Yan Huanyue originally intended to behead him, but after thinking about it for a moment and considering the possible future situations, she chose to stab him in the heart instead.
After killing Yun Ruoqing, the threat, she did not linger. She put the already cracked fishing rod into her treasure pouch, turned around, and left the increasingly dim hanging palace.
In fact, the two stars could be located, but not necessarily precisely. She could only rely on the star chart distance in her memory to judge which two stars were likely at this distance and position, and then determine the position of the nine stars based on her own guess.
She stood atop the suspended palace, looking towards the True Star Palace she had just passed, and then tiptoed and sped over there.
When she returned to the True Star Palace, she already had a general idea of what was going on.
In her eyes, nearly half of this dusty, suspended palace had lost its light, leaving only the star positions she had pointed out based on her own deductions.
She flew out according to her deduction and indeed found nine stars in a cloud of stardust, which were larger than the stardust and almost the same size as the two stars she had just seen.
She landed slowly on the Heavenly Pillar Star Palace she had identified, brandished her horizontal sword, and gracefully descended from the palace eaves...
Grand banquet at Mingjinghai Jade Mountain.
As some of the ceremonies welcoming those who had ascended to immortality concluded, a tiny ripple appeared on the clear sea.
The Jade Emperor, who was raising his jade cup and speaking of the creation of all things in the newly opened land, suddenly changed his tone as a small wave appeared.
"Seniors, although I dare not disobey my father's orders, I am truly uneasy. All that I see before me is an illusion. I cannot bear to see you all having your life's cultivation absorbed by this illusion."
Tan Guiyi, who was sitting in the seat and had a sense of pride and arrogance about all this, suddenly twitched her eye and looked coldly at the Jade Emperor whose face was shrouded in light.
She felt as if she had been punched in the heart, but in an instant, she was surprised to find that she felt a strange sense of joy and excitement welling up inside her.
She even wanted to jump out and point at the "Jade Emperor" and say to everyone: "Look, this is Yun Xuanchen's son, this is the son of the creator of the Supreme Heavenly Palace Realm, a good-for-nothing, a coward, he doesn't want to be the Jade Emperor of the new realm but wants to be your dog, this is Yun Xuanchen's good son!"
But she suppressed her triumphant joy; hatred and pleasure intertwined in her heart, and she didn't know which part was stronger.
As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant by suddenly saying those words.
The Jade Emperor took out a jade token from his sleeve and brushed it against his face. After a slight glow, a handsome face was revealed.
He was simply comparing which side was more likely to win.
He had only said a few words to that little disciple of the Tianyan Sect, and in such a short time, she had escaped from the underground palace and fought her way to the Tianzhu Star Palace.
Although the immortal sects are not an impenetrable fortress, the Yun family will never be an impenetrable wall either.
If something goes wrong in the future, and these cultivators wake up before they are fully controlled by the Heavenly Dao, they will also die without a burial place.
More importantly, a vessel is needed to absorb the cultivation and rebirth power of this supreme heavenly palace realm. His father euphemistically called him the Jade Emperor, so that he could first enjoy the continuous cultivation and rebirth power of this new world.
However, the father was afraid that the evil realm would affect his mind, and even more afraid that he would be devoured by it, so he would not personally step into this evil realm to absorb the power of the primordial chaos.
Therefore, he was left in the Supreme Heavenly Palace Realm as a vessel to absorb the power of the Cloud Beginning, becoming one of the prisoners.
One day he will also merge into the "Heavenly Dao" like these cultivators, becoming a monster whose origin and destination are unknown.
A small wave rose in the clear sea.
Yun Ruofan cupped his hands and said with deep sorrow, "I once helped a disciple of the Tianyan Sect find the key to this formation. She has already found the key to this formation, but now the key is shaking... If it is a senior with high cultivation, they should have already awakened most of the way. I, Yun Ruofan, ask the seniors to forgive my father."
Among the seated figures, Demon Lord Zhixu was the first to take to the air, breaking through the illusion and rushing directly towards the Starry Sea Palace.
Then, several people leaped up in succession, not even having time to exchange a few more words with Yun Ruofan, and flew directly towards the Star Sea Palace.
The oppressive aura emanating from them shattered the swirling auspicious clouds.
The star officials of Tianzhu Star are indeed not easy to deal with.
Yan Huanyue was struck hard, shattering the heavy palace gate and flying out.
The star official seemed unable to leave the suspended palace he was in. He stood on the empty steps and gently waved his hand outwards. Yan Huanyue instantly crashed into the eaves of another suspended palace.
She hung from the eaves, feeling as if the eaves of the hanging palace were almost digging into her left shoulder. It was as if the sharp eaves had shattered her bones, and a mouthful of blood gushed out urgently.
Her gaze was cold and fixed on the hanging palace.
If she can't kill him, then she'll blow him up.
At the very least, if the core of the formation shakes even slightly, those with higher cultivation levels might be able to use this glimmer of divine secret to regain their senses.
She moved her right hand, slid down from the eaves, and made a hand seal. Several talismans were swept by the wind and rushed towards the Heavenly Pillar Palace.
As the talismans were destroyed one after another by the star officials, Yan Huanyue struggled to throw out more talismans, yin-yang rings, fishing rods, and everything else she could find.
The star official was overwhelmed with the attention, and before he knew it, one of the magical artifacts or talismans had broken into his defenses and grazed his hand, from which a thin wisp of starlight escaped.
Yan Huanyue gazed at that sliver of starlight from afar; she had never thought starlight could be so beautiful...
