Slay the Heavenly God!

As the Star Spirit's words fell, a flood of information surged into Bai Ye's Sea of Consciousness, instantly revealing to him all the functions of Dust Star Valley.

First, as the master of this Lesser World, he could enter and leave at will, without needing the Dust Star Gate. This Lesser World was completely isolated from the outside—even a Divine King Realm expert would struggle to detect its location, making it an ideal place for secluded cultivation!

Second, in battle, he could forcibly drag an enemy into Dust Star Valley and suppress them with the Heavenly Dao's power of the Lesser World. Even a Divine King Realm expert would have their combat strength reduced by three-tenths!

Third, the Heavenly Dao's power could amplify Bai Ye's own strength, boosting his combat power up to threefold without causing any damage to his Dao Body!

It was utterly invincible!

Bai Ye focused his mind, activating the Heavenly Dao Mark on the back of his hand. Instantly, a surging torrent of Heavenly Dao power flooded into his body. He could clearly feel the Divine Power within his Divine Origin Aperture churning at a terrifying speed, his True God Dharma Form growing more solid, and the Divine Rules around him thickening several times over!

He simulated a punch, and the wind of the strike carried such a crushing Divine Power pressure that the surrounding space twisted deeply.

"Not bad at all!"

Bai Ye withdrew the power, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. With Dust Star Valley as his trump card, he felt that even against a Heavenly God Peak expert, he now had the strength to fight!

"It's time to return to Azure State."

Bai Ye murmured, and with a thought, he activated the power of the Heavenly Dao Mark. His figure vanished from Dust Star Valley in an instant.

Deep within the Heavenly Gang Corridor, at the center of the Meteorite Continent.

Before the pitch-black Dust Star Gate, a figure in a blue-gray robe suddenly materialized—it was Bai Ye, emerging from the Secret Realm.

The moment he appeared, two sharp, hawk-like gazes locked onto him. Immediately after, two overwhelming Heavenly God Realm pressures crashed down like mountains, attempting to imprison him!

"Hm?"

Bai Ye's brow furrowed slightly. The pressure of his True God Ninth Layer peak erupted instantly, colliding with the enemy's aura. With a thunderous boom, the surrounding gale-force winds were blasted back, and the meteorite ground cracked into fine, web-like fissures.

He looked up and saw two men standing not far away. One wore a Moon White Daoist Robe, starlight swirling around him—it was Cloud Wave Heavenly God of the Star Sect. The other was clad in Golden Battle Armor, with faint traces of lightning energy—it was Profound Desolate Heavenly God of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect.

Cloud Wave Heavenly God stepped forward, forcing a hypocritical smile onto his face and speaking in a feigned cordial tone: "You must be my junior brother, right? I am Cloud Wave, a Heavenly God elder of the Star Sect. I have come down from the sect to receive you."

Profound Desolate Heavenly God also stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Bai Ye with undisguised surprise. He hadn't expected such a young cultivator to already be at the True God Ninth Layer peak—a cultivation level that was nothing short of heaven-defying at this age!

Bai Ye gave a slight bow, his expression cold as he regarded the two. The fact that they had released their pressure the moment they met clearly showed ill intent. The so-called "junior brother" identity was most likely a pretext.

Cloud Wave Heavenly God didn't notice Bai Ye's coldness and continued to act familiar, smiling as he said, "The inheritance you obtained in Dust Star Valley must be extremely valuable. You've just entered the Divine Realm and don't yet know how to properly safeguard such a treasure. Why not hand it over to me first? I'll take it back to the sect for registration and archiving. Later, the sect will surely reward you handsomely based on the inheritance's worth."

"Reward?" Bai Ye let out a derisive laugh, his eyes icy. "Fellow Daoist, when did I ever say I was a disciple of the Star Sect? And even if I were, why should I hand over an inheritance I risked my life to obtain?"

Cloud Wave Heavenly God's face instantly darkened, a flicker of impatience flashing in his eyes. "The Star Creation Art you cultivate is the Star Sect's foundational technique—you are naturally a disciple of our sect! It seems that obtaining this inheritance has made you arrogant and blind. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the sect!"

"Stop pretending," Bai Ye cut him off, his gaze shifting to Profound Desolate Heavenly God beside him. "Look at your companion—he can barely contain his killing intent."

Profound Desolate Heavenly God's mouth twitched. With his thoughts exposed, the mask of pretense on his face could no longer hold.

The hypocrisy in Cloud Wave Heavenly God's eyes vanished completely, replaced by an undisguised, chilling murderous intent. He said in a low voice, "Since you refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before his words had even faded, both men erupted with Divine Power at the same time, blocking Bai Ye's path from left and right. The Divine Rules of the Heavenly God Realm interwove, forming an invisible cage that trapped Bai Ye inside.

Bai Ye's expression turned cold as well. Without another word, he focused his mind and instantly activated the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal!

The next moment.

A golden seal, dozens of feet tall, condensed into being. Ancient Immortal Runes flickered across its surface, radiating a terrifying aura that could crush even a Heavenly God Realm expert!

"Not good!" Cloud Wave Heavenly God's face twisted in shock. He tried to summon a defensive divine artifact, but it was too late.

The golden seal crashed down with world-destroying momentum, instantly engulfing Cloud Wave Heavenly God. He didn't even have time to scream. His Divine Body shattered beneath the seal, and his Divine Core and divine soul were utterly annihilated, leaving not a single trace behind!

"What?!"

The Profound Desolate Heavenly God trembled all over, his face filled with disbelief.

Bai Ye was clearly only at True God Peak, yet he could instantly kill Yun Lan, a Heavenly God at the Third Layer?

The power of that great seal was terrifying beyond measure!

He himself was also a Heavenly God at the Third Layer, and he knew Yun Lan's strength well. The other party hadn't even been able to unfold his defenses before being slain. If it were him, there would be absolutely no chance of survival either!

"Spare me! I come from the upper sect of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect; this matter has nothing to do with me!"

The Profound Desolate Heavenly God was so frightened his soul scattered, and he turned into a streak of Golden Light, madly fleeing toward the outer reaches of the Heavenly Gang Corridor.

Bai Ye's eyes were icy cold—how could he give him a chance to escape?

He raised his hand and once again activated the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal. A second golden great seal condensed into form, turning into a streak of light that instantly caught up to the Profound Desolate Heavenly God, slamming him heavily onto the meteorite ground.

With a thunderous crash, the Profound Desolate Heavenly God's Divine Body shattered together with his Golden Battle Armor, and his Divine Core was ground to dust by the great seal. He fell completely.

Two Heavenly God Realm experts had both been killed by Bai Ye in a single move!

The fierce wind howled past, sweeping up the divine blood and shattered bones on the ground. The terrifying power of the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal plunged this entire Meteorite Continent into utter silence.

Bai Ye withdrew his Divine Power, glanced at the remains on the ground, and said calmly, "The Heavenly Gods of the Upper Realm are nothing much. I thought I'd have to bring out Dust Star Valley."

Then he turned into a streak of light and sped off in the direction of Azure State.

Bai Ye rode his flying light, cutting through the raging winds of the Heavenly Gang Corridor, and raced all the way back to Azure State.

When the familiar Azure Cloud Mountain Range came into view, he slowly restrained his aura, suppressing his cultivation back to Late Profound Comprehension. Turning into a faint azure streak of light, he landed silently on Night Cloud Peak.

The spirit herbs in the courtyard were still lush, and the formation of the Quiet Chamber remained intact, as if he had never left.

Bai Ye dispelled the formation, stepped into the Quiet Chamber, casually set up a concealment barrier, and began to sort through the gains from his trip to Dust Star Valley.

A Divine King-level secret art, the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal; control over the Lesser World of Dust Star Valley; a vast quantity of Divine Crystals and Divine Venerable-level divine artifacts...

All of this had explosively increased his foundation!

With these resources, even in the Lower Realm, he was confident he could break through to the Heavenly God Realm!

Meanwhile.

In the Upper Realm.

Because Bai Ye had obtained the inheritance of Dust Star Valley, a massive upheaval was sweeping across the heavens, stirring up a storm that shook the entire cosmos!
