The Purple-Eyed Roc King, with smoke spewing from his orifices, shot out of the sleeping quarters, his face contorted. Even as a peak-level Great Golden Immortal, the Roc King’s face was marred by more than a dozen bloody claw marks, a truly startling sight. Considering his status as a peak Great Golden Immortal, the Purple-Eyed Roc King’s hide was usually incredibly resilient; ordinary heavenly lightning couldn't even scratch his face. However, accompanying the Roc King for the last few centuries was his most favored concubine, the 'Three-Tailed Black Fox,' whose claws possessed a unique ability to pierce magical defenses. The Three-Tailed Black Fox was a direct descendant of the ancient, exotic Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage. Beyond the enchanting skills for which fox spirits were renowned, she had inherited several of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's formidable divine powers. Though her cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal level, her pair of claws, capable of shattering enchantments, made tearing the Purple-Eyed Roc King’s facial hide an effortless feat. Not only could she tear the skin, but because of the magic-breaking residue clinging to the wounds, even the most potent immortal elixirs and spiritual medicines would be unable to heal the gashes quickly. The Purple-Eyed Roc King, lacking skill in illusion arts, had no way to conceal the injuries on his face. He could only storm out of his palace, leading a massive contingent of loyal immortals, heading toward the Spiral Star Domain. He intended to settle scores with Blackjack; he absolutely had to grind Blackjack into dust. Pitiable Roc King that he was, he had made Blackjack his Chief Financial Manager. Blackjack managed everything: supplies for the demon kings and saints across his countless subordinate peaks and lairs, and even the expenditures of the Roc King's own harem. For ten thousand years, Blackjack managed the Roc King’s harem finances with remarkable success. Luxuries from all corners of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths flowed endlessly, naturally pleasing the Purple-Eyed Roc King. His several thousand concubines, and even his fearful principal wife, were completely pampered by Blackjack’s ceaseless flattery, feeling as if they dwelled in piles of brocade and rested upon mountains of jewels every single day. Life was utterly blissful. But this accursed Blackjack! He had suddenly rebelled, taking every dark creature with him. His flight would have been one thing; fleeing after emptying every single treasury within the Roc King's territory—enough to starve a cockroach—was another. Clearing out the public vaults might have been tolerable; given the Roc King’s ferocious reputation over countless years, which demon king or saint would dare complain? But what he absolutely should not have done was to empty the Roc King’s private harem treasury as well. The Roc King’s thousands of concubines discovered with shock that since Blackjack’s defection, their magnificent ornaments, exquisite garments, and luxurious supplies had vanished. Blackjack had been ruthless; he left them only the clothes on their backs and whatever was adorning their heads, taking absolutely everything else. When the Purple-Eyed Roc King’s most favored concubine, the Three-Tailed Black Fox, suddenly realized that her most cherished personal garment—a close-fitting slip woven from 'Rippling Mist Bead' strands—had disappeared without a trace, along with all her other favorite ornaments and clothing taken by Blackjack’s men, the Three-Tailed Black Fox immediately erupted in fury. With more than a dozen bloody streaks across his face, the Purple-Eyed Roc King, burning with rage, rushed out in fury. How could this be tolerated? His principal wife was one thing; she was devoted to pure cultivation. But the ornaments, clothing, and treasured jewels beloved by thousands of concubines! That damn Blackjack and his whole crew had cleaned them out! A harem uprising—this was a matter of life and death! Especially since the Purple-Eyed Roc King, though vicious towards outsiders, was incredibly soft-hearted toward his concubines. When thousands of concubines, led by the Three-Tailed Black Fox, began to riot, the Roc King could think of nothing else but capturing Blackjack quickly and tearing him limb from limb. The vast host of hundreds of thousands of demon immortals rushed straight toward the Spiral Star Domain. The intelligence spread by the Seven Cultivations Heavenly Venerable suggested that Blackjack was a trusted subordinate of Gu Xichen. Blackjack's sudden rebellion with so many dark creatures implied that the Dragon Venerable Gu Xichen, missing for ten thousand years, had returned. As the massive army of demon immortals neared the Spiral Star Domain—still half a day's journey away—a churning cloud of blood erupted from the flank. The exasperated Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor appeared from the bloody mist, leading nearly a million demonic immortals. The Purple-Eyed Roc King glanced at the Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor, whose surrounding light was visibly dim. Ah, the old fellow’s prized treasures were gone, confirming the rumor that his nine most treasured demonic artifacts had been stolen by his disciples. What a pitiful sight. Those nine artifacts possessed immense power; losing them would reduce the Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor’s overall cultivation by at least thirty percent. The Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor stared just as fiercely at the Purple-Eyed Roc King, then suddenly let out a mocking, hissing laugh. A peerless peak Great Golden Immortal, having his face utterly ruined by his own concubine—such a bizarre incident was unique to the Purple-Eyed Roc King. The two exchanged greetings across a hundred miles, their smiles not reaching their eyes. Then, with heavy spits to the side, one cloud of demonic energy and one cloud of blood instantly flashed forward, accelerating toward the Spiral Star Domain at an even greater speed.

They dared not lag behind. Given the temperaments of the Purple-Eyed Roc King and the Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor, whoever reached the Spiral Star Domain first would surely scour every last thing clean, leaving not a single strand of hair for the other. If they didn't run faster, their own treasures would simply change owners.

Within the Spiral Star Domain, Gu Xichen was working with intense concentration. A star with a diameter exceeding ten million miles was being gently nudged across the void by the soft power of his 'Cascading Sleeve.' Although it moved slowly, 'slowly' was relative; the star was still traversing space at a speed of a thousand miles in the blink of an eye. Immortal power surged from within him like a tide. Shifting stars and moving celestial bodies—such divine abilities could ordinarily be managed even by a regular Golden Immortal. But Gu Xichen had to inscribe the primordial stellar characters, inherited from the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, onto the star as he moved it. Each character required an astronomical amount of immortal power to form, making the task immensely draining. The vast star drifted through the void, with countless characters, faintly shimmering with silver light, appearing and disappearing across its surface. The star’s volume gradually collapsed inward. By the time Gu Xichen settled it into its target location, the star’s diameter had been compressed to only a few thousand miles—a complete shrinkage of its original diameter! The star, once deep crimson, now shone with a light that pierced ten thousand miles, as dazzling as a meticulously polished diamond. Countless stellar characters faintly flickered on its surface, radiating astonishingly powerful stellar energy fluctuations.

Hundreds of millions of miles away in the starry expanse, Peng Hua and his group were equally busy. They were engaged in the exact same task as Gu Xichen. Star after star had its eternal trajectory altered by the immense power of the Great Golden Immortals. The stellar gravity within this stretch of the void was thrown into utter chaos. For ordinary immortals, not only was pushing a star impossible, but the tidal waves of energy generated by the shifting gravitational interactions between the stars alone would have shredded any immortal below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. But for Peng Hua and the others, nothing was a problem.

After dealing with the remnants of the Kunlun and Zhongnan sects, Gu Xichen and his group returned to the Spiral Star Domain and immediately encountered Linghu and Blackjack, who had arrived from afar with all their subordinates. Gu Xichen highly praised the loyalty of Blackjack and Linghu. Then, without pausing for pleasantries or even settling the people they brought back, he immediately led his men to begin maneuvering the stars, setting up a grand formation so immense it was terrifying. Using the stars as the foundation of the formation, they drew upon the stellar energy of the myriad heavens to fuel it. This formation required the centralization of thirty-six thousand stars to complete—a formation that, in this era and age, had become the stuff of legend.

The abnormal movements of the stars in the void terrified the citizens of the planet Afike, who knelt on the surface, murmuring prayers for the protection of the celestial gods and buddhas. Meanwhile, the more than one hundred thousand disciples of the Nine Nether Dao School watched the movement of these celestial bodies with elation, constantly marveling at the incredible divine powers and magic wielded by Gu Xichen and his peers. Arranging a formation with stars—this was a technique belonging only to the great divine sages of antiquity! Even though the Great Golden Immortals of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths today possessed the power to move stars, the methods for arranging them in formations had long been lost. Such grand formations had not appeared in the Three Realms for many epochs.

Not only the immortals of the Nine Nether Dao School, but also worldly and knowledgeable immortals like Yang Jian, the Monkey, and the Sangshang brothers, gazed rapturously at the thirty-six thousand stars gradually taking their positions. Their divine senses enveloped the entire Spiral Star Domain. They drunkenly perceived the immense stellar energy fluctuations emanating from every star that was moved, utterly immersed in sensing the profound and unpredictable cosmic principles gradually solidifying between these celestial bodies. This was the Primordial Stellar Formation taught by the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends; it was the innate memory imprinted upon their very souls, the ultimate method for utilizing the power of the myriad heavens. Besides these Primordial Star Lords themselves, who else could possibly set up such an arrangement?

A few days prior, the three great monks and three old Daoists who had appeared also materialized in the distant void. They too watched the process of Gu Xichen setting up the formation, lost in contemplation. Their cultivation, divine powers, and immortal energy had reached an inconceivable level, yet they did not cultivate the Way of the Stars, nor had they ever witnessed the true Primordial Stellar Formation in all its magnificent, captivating glory.

Just as Gu Xichen felt his internal immortal power on the verge of exhaustion, even neglecting the time to utilize the Black Pearls of Taiyin and Taiyang to replenish his expenditure, the grand formation composed of thirty-six thousand stars finally took shape. As Gu Xichen positioned the final star, the entire Spiral Star Domain trembled faintly. The surfaces of the thirty-six thousand stars, each illuminating ten thousand miles, suddenly drew their light inward. A faint, intense radiance flickered within the stars, but not a single trace of energy leaked outward. Extremely fine streams of light darted back and forth between the stellar bodies, gradually weaving a vast net of brilliant light and infinite flow that spanned the gap between them. Suddenly, the net of light contracted sharply. As if solidified, a massive tide of stellar energy erupted from the depths of the stars. This potent stellar force surged along the net of light in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the net expanded tens of thousands of times, enveloping almost one-tenth of the Spiral Star Domain in a blinding radiance.

The starry sky shook; the millions of planets in the Spiral Star Domain trembled. The turbulent energy flows within the Chaotic Star Sea instantly froze. After about a ten-thousandth of a breath, nearly all the chaotic energy in the boundless Chaotic Star Sea began to rotate in perfect order around the Spiral Star Domain. Wave after wave of pure stellar energy swept outward. Gu Xichen and his group remained stiff in the void, passively allowing the stellar energy to pierce into their bodies. They writhed violently, like frogs being electrocuted—experiencing both pain and exhilaration. Every muscle fiber in their bodies felt as if it were being ripped apart, yet every fiber was simultaneously bathed in and nourished by the stellar energy, growing stronger. The disciples of the Nine Nether Dao School, mostly originating from demons, ghosts, and monsters, had generally cultivated body-tempering arts. As beings of extreme Yin, they found that stellar energy, being the purest form of Yin spiritual energy in heaven and earth, constantly infused their bodies. The physical strength of the Nine Nether Dao disciples skyrocketed as if boosted by a rocket. Those specializing in body refinement, like Yang Jian, the Monkey, and the Sangshang brothers, were overjoyed, circulating their cultivation methods to absorb and store every last bit of the stellar energy rushing into them. It was too pure, too immense. Even as renowned ancient sacred beings, they had never felt such boundless stellar power. The spherical formation comprised of the thirty-six thousand stars continuously spewed out clusters of dense silver light. The stars used to construct the formation gradually began to dematerialize, transforming into a brilliant, magnificent silver hue.

A silver pillar of light, so tall it seemed to pierce the heavens and earth, shot out from the colossal stellar formation. It instantly pierced through the entire Spiral Star Domain and the surrounding Chaotic Star Sea. This silver pillar was like the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle used by Yu the Great in ancient times. As soon as the pillar appeared, the turbid meteors, asteroids, stardust, and electromagnetic storms within the Chaotic Star Sea were all pulverized, reduced to the most minute energy particles. A thick, silver flow of energy enveloped the Spiral Star Domain in a spherical shell. This silver vortex spun rapidly, stirring up turbulence that carried a tremendous roar heard across nearly half the mortal realm. All the immortals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths changed expression.

Above him, the formation diagram of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array hovered. By his side, the Corpse Emperor, with four streams of light dancing around him, sat cross-legged at the only passage exit of the Spiral Star Domain. Before him lay the corpses of several thousand immortals sprawled in disorder. When Gu Xichen began setting up the formation, fearing sabotage from outside immortals, he had asked the Corpse Emperor to guard this most vulnerable entry point using the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. When the Chaotic Star Sea was shattered into pure energy flows, the Corpse Emperor suddenly threw back his head and roared with laughter. He straightened his body violently, instantly growing to a height of a million miles. Black mist spewed from his eyes as he roared toward the heavens: “Heavenly Stars, Earthly Fiends! Lend me your strength!” The surging silver light trembled, and suddenly one hundred and eight silver torrents, fierce as dragons, rushed toward the Corpse Emperor, swiftly infusing his one hundred and eight vital acupoints. The Corpse Emperor laughed loudly, the sound cracking the void for millions of miles around into numerous fissures. The pure stellar energy transformed into surging Corpse Fire within the Corpse Emperor’s body, painstakingly erasing the imprints within the Luo Lian True Body that the Corpse Emperor could not refine, bit by bit allowing the Corpse Emperor to completely fuse with this physical form. The aura of the Luo Lian True Body grew weaker, while the Corpse Emperor’s original aura grew stronger. Even the appearance of the Luo Lian True Body gradually shifted to resemble the Corpse Emperor’s original features. The Corpse Emperor’s Three Corpses Primordial Spirits flew up from his head—a monk, a Daoist, and a zombie. The three spirits greedily gulped the surrounding stellar energy, their forms becoming clearer and growing taller.

While the Corpse Emperor benefited infinitely from the surging stellar flow, it spelled doom for the large contingent of immortals arduously trekking through the Chaotic Star Sea. After Gu Xichen had captured and killed the immortals lingering in the Spiral Star Domain Free Trade Zone, the major powers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths dispatched their first wave of scouting immortals. A large portion of this group had already perished under the Corpse Emperor’s sword. When the news of Blackjack and Linghu’s defection reached the Purple-Eyed Roc King and the Scarlet Blood Demon Ancestor, even more immortals were sent toward the Spiral Star Domain. Learning from the fate of the immortals slain by the Corpse Emperor, subsequent arrivals wisely cloaked themselves far away in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea, attempting to infiltrate the Spiral Star Domain without daring to pass directly before the Corpse Emperor. But now that the Chaotic Star Sea had been suddenly shredded by the formation set up by Gu Xichen, with all stellar matter reverting to its original, purest stellar energy and spinning violently like a vortex, these immortals met disaster. Stellar energy is the purest and most solid substance, and the heavy metals it condenses—gold, silver, and other materials—are supreme resources for forging immortal weapons. One can imagine that when this highly compressed stellar energy spun rapidly, these immortals were like small rats trapped in a juicer, instantly reduced to a pool of blood plasma, their very souls crushed to powder in a moment.

No one paid heed to these cannon fodder figures; everyone was stunned by the phenomena within the grand formation. The thirty-six thousand dematerialized stars carved out a gigantic spherical space within the Spiral Star Domain, spanning several light-years in diameter. In this silver-drenched sphere, a colossal, unparalleled celestial body was gradually taking form. An aura of primordial desolation swept out. On the surface of that star, a monstrous, bizarre beast was roaring towards the heavens. That strange beast, looking like a wolf yet also like a tiger, yet possessing a dragon’s body, flashed momentarily across the star’s surface. Intense, almost tangible stellar energy surged from within this star, instantly reaching Gu Xichen and his companions and drilling violently into their bodies. Gu Xichen felt a sharp pain in his forehead, as if struck by a heavy fist; blood sprayed from his seven orifices. This stellar energy was too vast, its substance too condensed. It was as if someone accustomed to drinking water was suddenly forced to drink a kettle of liquid mercury. Gu Xichen’s tissues shattered inch by inch, only to rapidly heal, as this terrifying stellar energy flowed through him, continuously converting into his own immortal power. A light whistle sounded next to Gu Xichen: “First Star of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, the Heavenly Kui Star returns to its position!” A stream of light shot out from beside Gu Xichen, instantly plunging into that star, several light-years in diameter, its brilliance eclipsing all other stardust in the Spiral Star Domain. In the formation, the starlight flashed once. The massive star vanished from the formation and was instantly embedded in a void somewhere within the Spiral Star Domain, shining forth a brilliant, dazzling light that illuminated all directions. The concentration of spiritual energy in the Spiral Star Domain instantly increased a hundredfold! The formation set up by Gu Xichen had directly communicated with the Thirty-Third Heaven Beyond the Heavens, drawing the physical body of the Heavenly Kui Star—the First Star of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, drifting in the chaotic starry sky—down to the mortal world! If not for the star’s own innate connection to its natal curse, and if not for the concerted effort of the One Hundred and Eight Star Lords setting up the stellar formation, how could such a heaven-defying act have occurred?

The three great monks and three old Daoists in the distant starry sky nearly dropped their jaws. They stared, mouths agape, at the Heavenly Kui Star now settled in the Spiral Star Domain, their minds going blank. After a long pause, the three monks and three old Daoists began to exclaim and jump about: “Heavens! Heavens! Such a heaven-defying act! The Heavenly Kui Star has descended to the mortal realm! Heavens, the Heavenly Kui Star has descended! By the Azure Heavens, why doesn’t a heavenly tribulation strike down Gu Xichen immediately?” After shouting for a while, the three monks and three old Daoists suddenly quieted down. They looked at each other and simultaneously slapped their own ears hard. The very symbol of the Heavenly Dao, the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, had strolled away. Now, the rules of the Heavenly Dao in the Three Realms were running on mere inertia, relying on past habits. How could the rules of the Heavenly Dao, deprived of their controller, possibly bring down a tribulation upon Gu Xichen, who was protected by the Haotian Tower and the Haotian Mirror? Even if a tribulation existed, how could it harm Gu Xichen, who was shielded by the Five-Color Flags, the Pangu Banner, the Wind and Fire Cushion, and countless other ultimate treasures? “The Heavenly Kui Star descending to the mortal realm—this is too absurd.” The three monks and three old Daoists stared with deep envy at the gigantic Heavenly Kui Star, swallowing hard simultaneously.

It took a full quarter of an hour before another silver light shot up from the stellar formation. Another gigantic, unparalleled star materialized from the depths of the formation. Another light whistle shook the entire Spiral Star Domain: “Second Star of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, the Heavenly Gang Star returns to its position!” The Heavenly Gang Star Lord transformed into a stream of light and plunged into his natal star. The enormous Heavenly Gang Star flashed within the formation and also flew to a void within the Spiral Star Domain. The three monks and three old Daoists went frantic. Their bodies convulsed as they flailed their arms, muttering, "Heh heh," unsure of what to say.

The One Hundred and Eight Star Lords of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends—how crucial they were in the ancient Heavenly Court! Their natal stellar power permeated the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the mortal realm, and even the Netherworld Yellow Springs. Their stellar energy was the source of cultivation for all beings in heaven and earth! But if Gu Xichen truly managed to pull the natal stars of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends into the Spiral Star Domain and keep them there, what exactly was he planning? What was his ultimate goal? There were eighty-four thousand Star Lords in the Myriad Heavens; the most crucial among them were the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Star Gods. Setting aside the Southern Dipper, Northern Dipper, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the One Hundred and Eight Star Lords of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends were the most important. The stellar energy of these Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Star Gods was the source of cultivation for all living beings in the Three Realms. How many mortals had managed to achieve immortality by relying on their natal stellar power?

Yet, if Gu Xiechen moved the Natal Stars of all one hundred and eight Star Lords to the Spiral Star Domain, this tiny domain, compared to the entirety of the Mortal Realm, was but a drop in the ocean. Still, it now concentrated nearly one-third of the stellar power of the 365 main Star Gods!

Fundamentally speaking, for the next ten thousand years, if a pig born within the Spiral Star Domain were to have piglets, those offspring would likely all possess Innate Dao Bodies! Perhaps, if they absorbed even a trace of the Fortune of the Heavenly Dao, these piglets, upon hitting the ground, might just raise one finger to the heavens and the other to the earth while howling!

Madness, sheer madness—Gu Xiechen was truly insane!

The three monks and three old Daoists, their bodies twitching violently, fled into the void, unable to bear witness any longer. They feared that if even a few more Natal Stars belonging to the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Stars descended, they would be unable to abide by the decrees they were bound by and would directly strike out to strangle Gu Xiechen.

Cultivators could cheat; they could possess great fortune. Was not the Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir of the Grand Supreme Elder Lord a means for mortals to cheat? One single elixir could create a Golden Immortal—this alone was an act defying the heavens.

But Gu Xiechen, he actually brought the stellar essence of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Stars down into the Mortal Realm. This wasn't cheating; this was... what should this be called? Even the Haotian God of yesteryear dared not act so boldly. The Haotian God dared not issue an order that the stellar radiance of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Stars should only illuminate the Thirty-Three Heavens!

A quarter of an hour later, another incomparably vast celestial body manifested within the great formation.

A joyous, crisp whistle sounded once more: "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Third Star, the Star of Heavenly Secrets, returns to its place."

Following one cheerful whistle after another, the Natal Stars of the one hundred and eight Star Lords of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends were dragged down from the void, one by one, and merged into the starry expanse of the Spiral Star Domain. This immense Spiral Star Domain was utterly transformed into a silver, boundless ocean, where the space between planets rippled with stellar energy as viscous and heavy as liquid mercury.

It mattered not whether one cultivated the Dao or what manner of being one was; this colossal stellar power was injected directly into one's body.

Even if one did not cultivate, with such immense stellar power flooding the body, even the lifespan of a common moth could be extended to a thousand years.

One-third of the stellar energy drawn from the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Mortal Realm, the Netherworld Springs, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been compressed into a single Spiral Star Domain. Such an undertaking was an abomination, truly an abomination.

Even a pig, provided it grasped some minor technique for absorbing the rosy mist and drawing in the Qi, if it simply sat upon a random mountain peak within the Spiral Star Domain, a Heavenly Immortal would spring forth after a hundred years. That such a heaven-defying event was not struck down by the Heavenly Dao could only be attributed to Gu Xiechen’s exceptionally formidable destiny.

Without the Heavenly Dao being controlled by Patriarch Hongjun, what could the Dao do to Gu Xiechen?

The Five Directions Five-Color Banners rose from Gu Xiechen's hands. One hundred and eight silver torrents, each ten thousand li thick, rushed in from all directions, slamming violently into the five great banners. The Five Directions Five-Color Banners instantly swelled to an immense size that spanned heaven and earth; any single banner could shroud the entire Spiral Star Domain.

Gu Xiechen formed a hand seal, recited a few incantations casually, and the Five Directions Five-Color Banners immediately erupted with five-colored brilliant light, emitting five-colored lotus flowers that swiftly submerged into the starry void. The one hundred and eight stars of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends spun rapidly in the void, vanishing in the blink of an eye. The silver light within the void gradually dissipated, but the dense stellar energy remained, still saturating all directions, only now it was invisible to the naked eye.

The true Natal Star Array formed by the one hundred and eight stars of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends was nothing like the shoddy imitation created by drawing stellar power atop Mount Yunhua back then. This Star Array possessed no subtlety, no profound mystery; its only quality was its "unparalleled magnitude." Formations like the Ten Absolutes Array or the Immortal Slaying Sword Array were like cutting with delicate surgical scalpels—exquisite, profound, and unmatched. But this great formation, constituted by the Natal Stars of one hundred and eight entities, was like smashing an ant with Mount Tai. It lacked any semblance of technique, yet its destructive power was absolute.

No matter how many techniques you possess, no matter how varied your divine transformations, if I bring Mount Tai crashing down upon you, I will smash you until blood flows from all seven apertures.

Standing upon the Wind-Fire Cushion, Gu Xiechen gazed out at the surrounding sea of stars. He suddenly laughed.

His strength was different now; his perspective and realm had changed.

Back then, his sole thought was to preserve Mount Yunhua and protect the lineage of the Nine Nether Dao.

But now, the entire Spiral Star Domain was Mount Yunhua. All the citizens of Yafeike would be selectively chosen to become disciples of the Nine Nether Dao. And the entirety of the Three Realms, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, would become the chessboard upon which Gu Xiechen played his game.

Protected by the Great Star Array, he could advance or retreat. Whom did he have cause to fear?

"Crimson Blood Demon Ancestor, Violet Gaze Roc King, your true self awaits you both."

"I shall use your dog heads for the blood sacrifice to inaugurate my great formation." (To be continued) Update Fastest F
