As soon as the Star Spirit finished speaking, countless streams of information surged into Bai Ye's Sea of Consciousness, allowing him to instantly understand every function of Dust Star Valley.
First, as the master of the Lesser World, he could enter and leave this place at any time without relying on the Dust Star Gate.
This Lesser World was completely isolated from the outside world. Even a Divine King Realm powerhouse would find it difficult to spy on its location, making it an ideal place for cultivation and secluded breakthroughs!
Second, during battle, he could forcibly drag his enemies into Dust Star Valley and use the Heavenly Path's power within the Lesser World to suppress them.
Even a Divine King Realm powerhouse would have their combat strength weakened by thirty percent!
Third, the Heavenly Path's power could enhance Bai Ye, raising his combat strength by up to threefold without causing any damage to his Dao Body!
It was simply invincible!
With a thought, Bai Ye activated the Heavenly Dao Mark on the back of his hand.
In an instant, a vast power of the Heavenly Path surged into his body. He could clearly feel the Divine Power circulating through his Divine Origin Aperture at an explosive speed. The True God Dharma Form within him also became far more solid, while the power of the Divine Rules around him grew several times denser!
He simulated throwing a punch. The force of the blow carried astonishing Divine Power and pressure, twisting the surrounding space into deep distortions!
"Not bad!"
Bai Ye withdrew his power, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
With Dust Star Valley as this trump card, he felt that even if he faced a Heavenly God Peak powerhouse now, he would still have the strength to fight!
"It's time to return to Azure State."
Bai Ye murmured, then activated the power of the Heavenly Dao Mark with a thought. His figure instantly vanished from Dust Star Valley.
Deep within the Heavenly Gang Corridor, at the center of the Meteorite Continent.
Before the pitch-black Dust Star Gate, a blue-gray figure suddenly appeared. It was Bai Ye, who had just emerged from the Secret Realm.
The moment he appeared, two sharp gazes, keen as hawks' eyes, fell upon him.
Immediately afterward, two vast pressures from the Heavenly God Realm crashed down like two great mountains, attempting to imprison him!
"Hm?"
Bai Ye furrowed his brows slightly. The pressure of his True God Ninth Layer Peak cultivation erupted in an instant, colliding with the pressure of the other party.
With a thunderous boom, the surrounding astral winds were blasted backward, and several fine cracks spread across the meteorite ground.
He raised his eyes and saw two men standing not far away.
One wore a Moon White Daoist Robe, starlight swirling around him. He was Cloud Wave Heavenly God of the Star Sect.
The other wore Golden Battle Armor, with traces of thunder emanating from him. He was Profound Desolate Heavenly God of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect.
Cloud Wave Heavenly God stepped forward, forcing a hypocritical smile onto his face as he spoke in a falsely familiar tone, "You must be Junior Brother, right? I'm Cloud Wave, a Heavenly God Elder of the Star Sect. I came down here at the sect's orders to receive you."
Profound Desolate Heavenly God also stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Bai Ye, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He had never expected that this young cultivator before him would already have reached the True God Ninth Layer Peak. To possess such cultivation at his age was simply heaven-defying!
Bai Ye gave them a slight cupped-fist salute, looking at the two men with an indifferent expression.
The other party had released their pressure the moment they met him. They clearly meant no good. Their so-called identity as "senior brothers" was most likely just an excuse.
Cloud Wave Heavenly God failed to notice Bai Ye's coldness. He continued pretending to be familiar with him and said with a smile, "The inheritance you obtained in Dust Star Valley must be extremely precious."
"You've only just entered the Divine Realm and don't understand how to properly safeguard an inheritance. Why not hand it over to me first? I'll take it back to the sect to register and archive."
"Later, the sect will certainly grant you a generous reward according to the value of the inheritance."
"A reward?" Bai Ye gave a cold laugh, his gaze icy. "Fellow Daoist, when did I ever say that I was a disciple of the Star Sect? Even if I were, why should I hand over an inheritance I obtained by risking my life?"
Cloud Wave Heavenly God's expression instantly darkened, impatience flashing through his eyes. "The Star Creation Art you cultivate is the Star Sect's sect-defending cultivation art. Naturally, you're a disciple of our sect!"
"Looks like obtaining the inheritance has made you arrogant and blind. Today, I'll teach you a good lesson on behalf of the sect!"
"Stop pretending." Bai Ye cut him off, his gaze shifting toward Profound Desolate Heavenly God. "Look at your companion. He's already unable to restrain his killing intent."
The corner of Profound Desolate Heavenly God's mouth twitched. After his thoughts were exposed, he could no longer maintain the disguise on his face.
The hypocrisy in Cloud Wave Heavenly God's eyes completely vanished, and icy killing intent spread without restraint. He said in a low voice, "Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Before his voice had even faded, the two of them erupted with Heavenly God might, blocking Bai Ye's path from either side.
The power of their Heavenly God Realm Divine Rules intertwined, forming an invisible cage that trapped Bai Ye within.
Bai Ye's expression also turned cold, and he no longer bothered with words.
With a thought, he instantly activated the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal!
The next instant.
A golden great seal dozens of meters tall condensed into existence. Ancient Immortal Runes flashed across its surface, radiating a terrifying aura capable of crushing those in the Heavenly God Realm!
"Not good!" Cloud Wave Heavenly God's expression changed drastically. He tried to bring out a defensive divine artifact, but it was already too late.
The golden great seal crashed down with earth-shattering might, instantly enveloping Cloud Wave Heavenly God.
He did not even have time to scream before his divine body shattered beneath the seal. His Divine Core and divine soul were annihilated together, leaving not even the slightest trace behind!
"What?!"
Profound Desolate Heavenly God trembled all over in terror, his face filled with disbelief.
Bai Ye was clearly only at the True God Peak. How could he kill Cloud Wave, a Heavenly God Third Layer, in a single move?
The power of that great seal was simply terrifying to the extreme!
He himself was also a Heavenly God Third Layer and knew Cloud Wave's strength well. Cloud Wave had been killed before he could even activate his defenses. If it had been him, there was absolutely no chance of survival either!
"Spare me! I'm from the upper sect of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect. This has nothing to do with me!"
Profound Desolate Heavenly God was scared out of his wits. He turned and transformed into a golden streak of light, frantically fleeing toward the outer reaches of the Heavenly Gang Corridor.
Bai Ye's gaze was icy. How could he give him a chance to escape?
He raised his hand and activated the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal once more. A second golden great seal condensed, transforming into a streak of light. It instantly caught up with Profound Desolate Heavenly God and smashed him viciously into the meteorite ground.
With a loud boom, Profound Desolate Heavenly God's divine body shattered together with his Golden Battle Armor. His Divine Core was crushed into powder beneath the great seal, and he fell completely.
Both Heavenly God Realm powerhouses had been suppressed and killed by Bai Ye in a single move!
The astral winds howled past, sweeping up the divine blood and shattered bones on the ground. The terrifying might of the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal plunged the entire Meteorite Continent into absolute silence.
Bai Ye withdrew his Divine Power and glanced at the remains on the ground before saying calmly, "The Heavenly Gods of the Upper Realm are nothing special after all. I thought I'd have to bring out Dust Star Valley."
Then he turned and transformed into a streak of light, speeding toward Azure State.
Bai Ye rode his escaping light through the raging astral winds of the Heavenly Gang Corridor, racing all the way back to Azure State.
When the familiar Azure Cloud Mountain Range appeared in his sight, he slowly reined in his aura, suppressing his cultivation back to the Late Profound Comprehension stage. He transformed into a pale-green streak of light and silently landed atop Night Cloud Peak.
The spirit herbs in the courtyard remained luxuriant, and the formation in the Quiet Chamber was intact, as if he had never left.
Bai Ye withdrew the formation and entered the Quiet Chamber. After casually setting up a concealment barrier, he began organizing the gains from his journey through Dust Star Valley.
The Divine King-level secret art, the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal; control over the Dust Star Valley Lesser World; a vast quantity of Divine Crystals; and a Divine Venerable-level divine artifact...
All of this caused his foundation to soar!
With these things, even in the Lower Realm, he was confident that he could break through to the Heavenly God Realm!
At the same time.
Upper Realm.
Because Bai Ye had obtained the inheritance of Dust Star Valley.
A tremendous uproar that swept across the myriad heavens was already surging into being!
