A Mortal'S Journey To Immortality

Chapter 143: Falling stars shine on the ruins

At the moment the bronze heavenly pillar shattered, Primordial Xuanhuang Qi poured down like a divine river from the Nine Heavens. Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar stepped on the broken star tracks, and the rust-stained ancient sword suddenly burst forth with Chaos star marrow. Where the sword's edge pointed, thousands of stars condensed into chains, nailing the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul to the collapsing Dao platform: "Old Ghost, this Heaven Ascending Staircase should be paved with star ruin tomb bricks!"

"Little Lord, what a cruel heart you have."

Su Meiniang's nine tails wrapped around the boiling Mother Qi Sea, and the golden bells at her tail tips vibrated, releasing ancient Qingqiu characters. Each character that fell transformed into a ten-foot tall Scarlet Flame Heavenly Fox, carrying Nether Ghost Fire and rushing into Leng Yuehan's Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel: "But this Mother Qi, refined from a star core..." When the fox flame touched the Ice Soul Dao charm, it actually etched the celestial star map of the star ruin onto the surface of the wheel, "It needs the Cold Abyss Dao Body as a guide to burn through completely!"

Leng Yuehan's wide sleeves unfurled, and the star array at her cuffs suddenly transformed into an ice crystal cage. Three thousand Profound Frost Sword Qi pierced through the Burning Sky Silk laid out by Su Meiniang, condensing into cold marrow locks in the seven orifices of Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul: "You mere nobodies..." The Ice Soul imprint suddenly reflected the patterns of a giant bronze palm. The star marrow flowing within the palm lines actually resonated with the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul, "How dare you steal Heaven Severing Sword Intent!"

The Void Realm exploded with nine star traces, and an ancient bell chimed from deep within the shattered immortal palace. The ancient sword in Lu Qingyang's hand suddenly melted into bronze liquid, and the rust condensed into a giant Taotie mouth in the Mother Qi Sea: "Both Fairies, behold!" The star marrow swallowed by the Taotie transformed into a bronze downpour. Each raindrop was accompanied by fragments of a Soul Transformation Cultivator's Dao Foundation, "This star ruin is inherently a living being!"

The Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul let out a netherworld shriek, and the ghost fire erupting from the white bone Dao platform condensed into a Soul-Reaping Banner array. The star patterns on the banner collided with the star array on Leng Yuehan's cuffs, and the exploded Dao charm actually manifested fragmented pages of the "Starfall Tribulation Scripture" in the Void Realm: "You ants..." Nine netherworld lamps rose from where the scripture burned, but the flickering wicks were fragments of Su Meiniang's golden bells at her tail tips, "How could you know that I have already refined the star ruin's life pulse!"

"Noisy!" Leng Yuehan snapped, severing her left sleeve. The detached star array transformed into a long river of Ice Soul. The Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel crushed three netherworld lamps, and where the lamp oil spilled, the shattered boundary monument of the star ruin manifested: "This ghostly Dao actually refined my Dao charm..." A giant bronze palm suddenly extended from the cracks in the monument's inscription. The star marrow flowing through the palm's lines vibrated in sync with the bronze rust on Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul, "Into a Undergoing Tribulation graveyard!"

Su Meiniang's nine tails wrapped around the collapsing heavenly pillar, and the Void Refining Stage spatial Dao laws tore open the star ruin illusion. The golden bell at her tail tip suddenly melted into the heaven severing sword sheath, and the star patterns on the sheath body caused the Mother Qi Sea to boil: "Little Lord, this bronze fate..." The moment the sword sheath was inserted into the Taotie's giant mouth, the star ruin boundary monument suddenly rose with a hundred-zhang star flame, "Was originally born to forge the Heavenly Gate!"

Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar cracked inch by inch like porcelain. The star marrow gushing from the rust seemed to possess life, condensing into a celestial star lock. As the chains pierced through the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul like sharp arrows, the Nether Ghost Fire suddenly bloomed like fireworks, revealing the full extent of the star ruin—beneath the vast and boundless starry sky, nine bronze furnaces floated, each sealing the remains of Mahayana Cultivators who failed their Undergoing Tribulation: "So that's it! This star ruin..." Before he could finish speaking, Leng Yuehan's long river of Ice Soul roared like a giant Dragon, freezing half of the furnaces.

Profound Frost Sword Qi, like lightning, pierced into the furnace eyes. From the exploding star flames, the phantom of Guanghan Ice Marrow emerged, like a Cold Moon hanging high: "Nether Ghost Dao!" The Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel crushed the last two netherworld lamps like an overwhelming force, and the starlight bursting from the wicks illuminated the entire text of the boundary monument, "They actually refined Guanghan Palace's most precious treasure into the array's core!"

"What a clever plan, killing three birds with one stone!" Su Meiniang's nine tails wrapped around the star ruin boundary monument, and the Burning Sky Fox Flame at her tail tips scorched the inscriptions. The secret patterns of the Qingqiu Rebirth Contract flowed in the firelight, actually resonating with the star traces on the surface of Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul: "The Soul-Devouring Old Ghost used the star ruin to refine the Heavenly Gate, also wanted to seize the Cold Abyss Dao Body, and incidentally refine Qingqiu's most precious treasure..."

Suddenly, three thousand Dao Lotuses of Annihilation appeared in the Void Realm without warning. These Dao Lotuses seemed to have existed since the beginning of Chaos, exuding an endless ancient aura. The lotus heart of each Dao Lotus was absorbing and exhaling star marrow, and these star marrows gathered together, actually condensing into a giant bronze gate.

Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar exploded at this moment. His Nascent Soul Avatar was originally the Foundation of his cultivation, but under the impact of this powerful force, it instantly collapsed. The fragments of the Nascent Soul Avatar transformed into countless rust marks, scattering into the Mother Qi Sea like a rain of stars.

Lu Qingyang looked at this scene, but the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a faint smile: "This round is quite exquisite!"

However, just where the star rain fell, nine Heaven Severing Sword Pillars suddenly rose. These sword pillars were pitch black, with Chaos Dao laws entwined around their bodies, as if they were demon gods rising from the abyss of the Universe. Wherever the sword pillars passed, the Void Realm was torn apart, and the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul was powerless against this force, instantly torn open.

The Soul Devouring Sect Master let out a mournful shriek, a shriek that seemed to penetrate the entire starry sky. His remnant soul rapidly condensed in agony, finally forming a Nether Star Core, which crashed into the boundary monument like a burning meteor.

The boundary monument trembled violently under this terrifying impact. The star flames erupting from the inscriptions, originally used to defend against external enemies, suddenly rolled back at this moment, tightly entangling Leng Yuehan's long river of Ice Soul like a fire Dragon.

Seeing this, Leng Yuehan's face changed drastically. He quickly used all his abilities to try and break free from the star flame's bondage, but it was already too late. The star flame's temperature was extremely high, and in an instant, it refined the long river of Ice Soul, transforming it into a towering ice staircase.

The Soul Devouring Sect Master stood at the end of the ice staircase, his figure appearing especially sinister under the reflection of the star flame. He glared at Lu Qingyang and Leng Yuehan, gritting his teeth and saying, "Even if I perish..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bronze furnace at the core of the star ruin suddenly appeared at the end of the ice staircase. Primordial Xuanhuang Qi surged within this furnace, and these Mother Qi even carried the aura of a Mahayana Lightning Tribulation, as if they were the most terrifying power in the Universe.

Seeing this, a trace of despair flashed in the Soul Devouring Sect Master's eyes, but his voice became even more mournful: "I will drag you all down with me!"

"Delusional!" Leng Yuehan roared. Her Dao Body suddenly burst forth with extinguishing cold light, like a Cold Moon hanging high in the night sky, emitting endless chill. At the same time, the Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel in her hand also began to tremble violently, then divided into celestial stars, each star shimmering with cold light.

These starlights quickly condensed into an Ice Soul Sword Array, which shot out like a meteor, directly piercing into the Nether Star Core. However, the moment the Ice Soul Sword Array touched the Nether Star Core, a powerful ghost fire erupted from the star core, like the fires of Hell, instantly engulfing the Ice Soul Sword Array.

Seeing this, Leng Yuehan's face slightly changed. She quickly cast a defensive Spell, and a thin layer of cloud patterns on her wide sleeve appeared in front of her, attempting to block the erosion of the ghost fire. However, this ghost fire was exceptionally fierce, easily penetrating the cloud patterns and continuing to rush towards Leng Yuehan.

"This star core actually contains the power of Guanghan Ice Marrow..." Leng Yuehan was startled. She immediately realized the formidable nature of this Nether Star Core. Just as she was about to cast another Spell to resist the ghost fire, Su Meiniang's figure suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost.

Without a word, Su Meiniang directly tore open the spatial barrier. Nine giant tails, like nine Dragons, tightly wrapped around the boiling Mother Qi Sea. Golden bells hung from her tail tips, emitting crisp sounds with her movements. These sounds, like Nine Heavens thunder, shook the three Heaven Severing Sword Pillars, making them totter.

With a crisp "crack," the three Heaven Severing Sword Pillars broke in response. The star marrow flowing within the pillars poured out like a breaching flood, instantly condensing into a Qingqiu rebirth monument.

"Soul-Devouring Old Ghost!" Su Meiniang roared at the Qingqiu rebirth monument. The star flames on the inscription suddenly blazed fiercely, and within the flames, a fox clan altar slowly rose. This altar looked ancient and mysterious, and at its center, a Starfall Ruin Array Map was actually Sealed.

"Do you know the power of this Rebirth Contract..." Su Meiniang's voice echoed in the Void Realm, full of majesty.

At this moment, Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul also re-condensed into an Avatar, and a powerful aura emanated from him. The ancient sword fragment in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a flash of lightning, directly piercing into the Nether Star Core.

In an instant, the star flames erupting within the Nether Star Core gushed out like a volcanic eruption. However, surprisingly, these star flames did not scatter everywhere, but slowly gathered in the Void Realm, eventually depicting a Pill Formula for the "Nine Revolutions Star Tribulation Pill."

"So, such an Opportunity is hidden within the star ruin!" Lu Qingyang exclaimed, immediately realizing the value of this Pill Formula.

At this time, the star patterns on the Pill Formula resonated strongly with the bronze furnace. With a "hum," the furnace lid suddenly opened, and a powerful Mahayana Dao charm gushed out like a torrent.

"Fairy Leng, this Ice Soul Profound Chain..." Lu Qingyang turned to look at Leng Yuehan, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Shut up!" Leng Yuehan roared. He violently waved his sleeve, and a powerful cold Qi gushed out like surging waves. This cold Qi instantly froze the star patterns on the Pill Formula, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel also spun rapidly. Its terrifying power, like a raging storm, fiercely impacted the two bronze furnaces. With a crisp cracking sound, the two bronze furnaces were instantly crushed into countless fragments under the impact of this power.

Ice Soul Sword Qi flashed past like lightning, piercing through the star ruin boundary monument with lightning speed. However, at this very moment, a blazing Starfall Tribulation Fire suddenly descended from the cracks in the inscription.

"Netherworld filth!" Seeing this, a hint of anger flashed in Leng Yuehan's eyes. He snorted coldly, fearlessly meeting the Tribulation Fire.

When the Tribulation Fire touched Leng Yuehan's wide sleeve cloud patterns, something unexpected happened—the Tribulation Fire actually etched a star shifting array onto the cuff!

"How dare you contaminate the secret method of Guanghan Palace!" Leng Yuehan's face showed disdain. With a casual wave, her wide sleeve drifted like a cloud, easily erasing the star shifting array.

At this moment, Su Meiniang's nine tails, like flexible whips, quickly wrapped around the last three heavenly pillars. She gently exhaled, and a scorching Burning Sky Fox Flame gushed out, instantly condensing into a Rebirth Contract inscription.

The star flames of the Rebirth Contract inscription blazed fiercely. Wherever they passed, the star ruin boundary monument rumbled. With the burning of the contract's star flames, the star ruin boundary monument grandly manifested an ancient Qingqiu Dao.

"Little Lord, quickly..." Su Meiniang's voice echoed in the ancient Dao. However, before she could finish speaking, the golden bell at her tail tip suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a crisp sound.

This ringing sound, like morning and evening bells, shattered the Void Realm. The clapper transformed into a star track compass, pointing directly at the boiling Mother Qi Sea.

"Use Heaven Severing Sword Intent to break open the gate of life!" Su Meiniang's voice echoed in the Void Realm, as if it were an ancient command.

Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul Avatar, like a dazzling star, suddenly became ethereal. The rusty star traces, like countless stars, condensed into a Taotie Dao domain. The ancient sword fragment, like a mysterious key, activated the Starfall Tribulation Fire. The "Star Ruin Array Map" manifested in the fire perfectly overlapped with the ancient Qingqiu Dao: "So the path to life is here!" The sword's edge pierced into the core of the array map like lightning.

Nine chaotic Lightning Tribulations suddenly descended in the star ruin, as if nine giant Dragons roared and pounced towards Lu Qingyang. "Fellow Daoists, behold Mr. Lu severing the heavens!" The moment the Lightning Tribulation struck, Leng Yuehan's Taiyin Soul Slaughtering Wheel, like a cold bright moon, froze time and space. Ice Soul Sword Qi, like a roaring giant Dragon, carried the Starfall Tribulation Fire, carving Guanghan Palace's secret inscription onto the giant bronze gate: "Break!" The extinguishing Dao charm bursting from the secret inscription, like a sharp sword, tore open the starry sky, revealing the Ice Marrow Secret Realm deep within the star ruin. Su Meiniang's nine tails, like flexible ropes,

tightly wrapped around Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul. The Rebirth Contract inscription, like a starlight-shining boat: "If not now..." The star patterns on the boat's body suddenly reflected the Nether Star Core condensed from the Soul Devouring Sect Master's remnant soul, like a dark pearl, emitting an eerie glow, "When then!" The Burning Sky Fox Flame, like a blazing fire, ignited the boat, transforming it into a crimson-gold meteor, like a dazzling comet, breaking through the star ruin illusion.
