The Net of Destruction shattered, scattering like broken rice grains, ripped apart by two crescent moon blades. Even after entering the net, their momentum was unhindered, continuing the pursuit of Shang Bingjie.

The crescent light blades, the size of scythes, shone with a deep, azure brilliance. Wherever the light blades passed, the solid rock walls beneath the dormant volcano fractured and scattered like fine powder, revealing the terrifying power contained within them.

Ji Changkong inwardly gasped, just preparing to intervene and help Shang Bingjie defend herself, when he saw Shang Bingjie’s figure flicker, and she had already vanished with eerie precision from the encirclement of the three crescent light blades.

Shang Bingjie moved like a sharply curving arrow of light, incredibly swift and piercing; the three scythe-sized light blades pursued her relentlessly but could never lock onto her trajectory.

As the most outstanding of her generation from the Shang Family of the Hailan Continent, although she had only just stepped into the Nine Palaces Heaven Realm, she seemed to have already grasped the profound mysteries of power that only experts at the peak of that realm could comprehend.

Evidently, Shang Bingjie was a heaven-gifted prodigy. Even without the infusion of power from her Shang Ancestors, she was destined to be a powerhouse far surpassing ordinary mortals.

Nurtured by the Shang Family, influenced by the myriad miraculous mysteries stored in her mind, the inherently extraordinary Shang Bingjie possessed advantages few mortals could ever hope for. With her potential fully unleashed, her initial entry into the Nine Palaces Heaven Realm might see her proving mightier than many cultivators who had languished in this realm for hundreds of years.

Suddenly, Ji Changkong realized that the fully recovered Shang Bingjie was certainly no burden; perhaps even he himself could not guarantee a hundred percent victory against her now. Having broken through to the Nine Palaces Heaven Realm, she seemed to have instantly grasped numerous profound principles of power convergence—the myriad arcane knowledge preserved within her mind. Previously, only glimmers and wisps had been triggered; only now was she gradually comprehending the deeply rooted true meaning of the Shang Family's power.

Shang Bingjie deftly evaded the assault of the three light blades, dancing gracefully beside Ji Changkong, like an ethereal fairy spirit lingering in the mortal realm; so transcendent, so infinitely beautiful.

From time to time, Shang Bingjie would even offer a radiant smile, casting him a soul-capturing glance brimming with affection, leaving Ji Changkong utterly infatuated.

In this moment fraught with peril, the two of them maintained a relaxed demeanor, even having the leisure for subtle communication between their eyes, paying no mind to the fierce battle raging around them. This testified to their extraordinarily steadfast resolve.

The leader of the Sky Serpent Sect and Zhou Hong of the Joyful Union Valley, upon seeing the four Heaven Vein Masters unleash those three crescent light blades, were not alarmed but instead delighted. They completely disregarded the lives of Ji Changkong and Shang Bingjie, surging forward instantly to stand before the Heaven Vein Masters.

The Sky Serpent Sect Leader’s soul transformed, becoming a coiling, slithering azure serpent. Its azure scales shimmered faintly, and a serpent's tongue five or six meters long shot out, instantly piercing the blue defensive barrier conjured by the four Heaven Vein Masters.

The five-to-six-meter serpent tongue was blood-red, sharp as a blade, and possessed immense penetrating force.

As the serpent tongue struck the blue defensive circle, a brilliant flash erupted, and simultaneously, the experts from the Joyful Union Valley charged forward. Evading the sticky light clusters wrapping around them, the male and female pair from the Joyful Union Valley allowed their souls to merge, transforming into various forms of ** intimacy.

** is the most ancient and fundamental action of life; humanity’s continuous lineage relies entirely on these most primal movements.

These postures embody the oldest and most enduring truths of the universe. Having immersed themselves in such matters for many years, the Joyful Union Valley had derived profound life mysteries from them.

The merged souls of the two Joyful Union Valley members twisted into forms that were deeply provocative, yet within these forms, they seemed to be birthing a strange, miraculous power.

Threads of crystalline light overflowed from the deeply fused movements of their two souls, shimmering with a ** sheen, and permeated the cerulean defense circle created by the four Heaven Vein Masters of the Turning Cloud Vein.

Surprisingly, the four Heaven Vein Masters from the Meteor Sea Star Domain suddenly grew tense.

As those ** lustrous threads penetrated the light circle, the defense barrier, which had been as soft as cotton and incredibly resilient, suddenly developed numerous finger-sized white spots. These white spots pulsed dimly, flickering and moving constantly, eroding the cerulean defensive circle bit by bit.

“** people are truly ** people!” Shang Bingjie, having paused beside Ji Changkong, snorted with cold disdain.

The three scythe-sized light blades that should have been pursuing her, due to the sudden movements of the Sky Serpent Sect Leader and Zhou Hong of the Joyful Union Valley, abandoned their persistent chase of Shang Bingjie and redirected their path, hunting toward the experts of the Joyful Union Valley and the Sky Serpent Sect.

“Joyful Union Valley, hehe, somewhat interesting,” Ji Changkong remarked with a strange expression, his soul stirring lightly.

The crystalline light threads birthed from the ** union of the Joyful Union Valley pair’s souls provoked endless conjecture in Ji Changkong’s mind; just a glance brought forth scenes that would make one blush fiercely, yet he remained astonished by this peculiar soul technique of the Joyful Union Valley.

That the Joyful Union Valley’s soul technique could evolve into such ** perversions and still possess such effectiveness was truly bewildering.

The members of the Joyful Union Valley and the Sky Serpent Sect clearly did not care much for the scythe-like light blades. Only when they saw the scythe-like blades shoot out, targeting Shang Yongchi, did they finally relax and launch a full assault on the four Heaven Vein Masters.

The four Heaven Vein Masters within the cerulean defensive circle seemed to possess a stronger sense than those in the Sky Serpent Sect and Joyful Union Valley. It was precisely because they sensed the peculiarity of Shang Bingjie and Ji Changkong that they had fixed those light blades upon the pair.

This provided the opportunity for the Sky Serpent Sect Leader and the Joyful Union Valley experts to strike. The masters of the Sky Serpent Sect and Joyful Union Valley clearly did not have the lives of Ji Changkong and Shang Bingjie at heart; perhaps they even wished the pair would be slain by those light blades.

“The Sky Serpent Sect and the Joyful Union Valley are both villains. Why would you cooperate with them?” Shang Bingjie asked.

“You are safe now, so the cooperation is automatically terminated,” Ji Changkong glanced at her, smiled casually, and replied calmly.

Shang Bingjie’s bright eyes flickered momentarily. She immediately realized Ji Changkong’s concession was entirely for her sake. Moved, she gently squeezed his hand, transmitting a subtle fluctuation through her soul: “You scoundrel, sometimes you are quite lovable.”

Ji Changkong and Shang Bingjie ceased their actions, their soul avatars observing from afar the clash between the Sky Serpent Sect, the Joyful Union Valley, and the four Heaven Vein Masters of the Meteor Sea Star Domain. Chih chih chih!

A strange sound emanated from the cerulean defensive circle before the four Heaven Vein Masters. The tough barrier was finally torn, shattering piece by piece.

The expressions of the four Heaven Vein Masters remained unchanged, without the slightest sign of tension. They calmly extended their palms, using their mysterious power to gather the torn pieces of the cerulean defense circle and pull them behind their backs.

In a short moment, the cerulean defense circles vanished. However, on the backs of the four Heaven Vein Masters, a pair of blue light wings appeared on each, beautiful and elegant, like the wings of a swan.

After each of the four Heaven Vein Masters acquired a pair of blue light wings, the killing intent emanating from them intensified sharply. The four suddenly separated; as their blue light wings flapped, their speed became lightning-fast, and shafts of soul light arrows shot out, bombarding all directions.

Every soul light arrow contained an aura of bloodlust. As they sped through the air, they seemed to emit the cries and roars of living beings. Furthermore, the light arrows suddenly morphed, transforming into bizarre creatures never before seen in the Solar Star Domain.

They were slender, serpent-like beings, but with rows of sharp horns beneath their bellies—strange creatures without heads, only gaping maws displaying rows of sharp teeth, easily half a meter long, sinister and terrifying, gleaming coldly.

Many of the soul light arrows transformed into these strange beings, which seemed imbued with life. Within mere minutes, they had filled the entire area, charging toward the Sky Serpent Sect, the Joyful Union Valley, and the pair of Ji Changkong and Shang Bingjie together.

“The Dragon Bones of the Evil Dragon!” Ji Changkong’s expression turned solemn. He sensed the faint aura of the Evil Dragon’s bones within those bizarre creatures.

The faint aura of the Evil Dragon’s bones emanating from these strange beings was somewhat similar to what manifested from the Primordial Poison, though they were vastly less potent and uncanny. The aura of the Evil Dragon’s bones they carried was extremely weak; if one did not scrutinize carefully, it would be hard to detect…

“Correct. They are indeed smelted from the souls of the Adder Viper and the bone essence within the Evil Dragon’s bones,” said one Heaven Vein Master, whose blue light wings flared behind him, enveloping him in a blue halo, like a celestial deity radiating (solemn killing) majesty.

Smelted from Adder Viper souls and Evil Dragon bone essence—this truly constituted a different type of creature. They must certainly carry the fierce, terrifying destructive power of the Evil Dragon.

The Evil Dragon was an ancient lifeform preceding the Great Destruction, famed for its immense destructive power, volatility, and bloodlust. Evil Dragons were not part of the Sacred Beast Clan; they were a sovereign branch of the Demonic Dragon Clan, a high-ranking race. Legend held that a single Evil Dragon could be larger than an asteroid, and one mighty Evil Dragon could obliterate an entire star domain.

The Evil Dragon carried a potent Demonic Dragon Malice. The more lives an Evil Dragon took, the stronger this Malice became. Demonic Dragon Malice was an aggregation of negative forces in the universe, a special form of power, akin to Heavenly Demonic Qi or Heavenly Primordial Energy.

The difference was that this Demonic Dragon Malice could directly extinguish souls and alter soul imprints. Once powerful Demonic Dragon Malice struck another being, it could potentially change that creature’s life imprint entirely, turning it into a slave of the Demonic Dragon!

Demonic Dragon Slaves, also known as Demonic Dragon Servants, carried the Evil Dragon’s aura, their souls bearing the Evil Dragon’s mark, compelling them to act according to the Evil Dragon’s will, becoming its puppets.

These new creatures, forged from Adder Viper souls and Evil Dragon bone essence, carried the Demonic Dragon’s Malice. If their souls were invaded, an indelible spiritual imprint would be left within, one extremely difficult to purge.

Consequently, seeing those strange creatures approaching, Ji Changkong became extremely vigilant. He dared not conceal his soul power any longer and quickly summoned his Heavenly Fire Clone.
