Slaughtering All Quarters!

"Ah, Sixth Uncle! Sixth Uncle! Sixth Uncle!"

Ling Yao's hair stood on end with rage as he let out a shrill roar, blood bursting from the corners of his eyes.

He found it unbelievable—utterly preposterous—that a mere Outer Sect Disciple had actually dared to publicly kill a Second Order Star Official!

This... this was a capital crime that would bring ruin upon all nine clans!

The Ling Family had only three Spirit Roamers. Ling Yunshan was at the sixth heaven of Spirit Roaming and usually guarded the family.

Yet now, in this very moment, one sword had sliced him in half at the waist. The flames splashed from the strike burned his shattered body into ashes, while his remaining spiritual fragments let out a grief-stricken, furious growl.

Until the moment of his death, he had never imagined that this mud-legged nobody would actually draw upon a Star Artifact and kill him!

"A Star Artifact! This is a Star Artifact!"

The twenty-some enforcers retreated in terror. The Fire Scale Sword seethed with terrifying starforce material, powerful enough to clash head-on with a Fourth Realm expert!

Madness gleamed in Chen Fusheng's eyes. This was killing intent driven to the extreme. He wanted to kill every last one of them, leaving none alive!

But the Fire Scale Sword's fearsome might abruptly collapsed. The material stored within it had clearly been exhausted; even activating it alone at the Third Realm was exceedingly difficult.

"A Star Artifact? Hahaha, the material in his Star Artifact greatsword is exhausted."

Ling Yao growled almost hysterically. "No! The person we're looking for is him—it's him!"

Rumble!

The moment those words left his mouth, it was as if heaven and earth had collapsed!

Dozens of spellcasters stared in horror. They did not know what the Forbidden Path was, but the Star Palace had issued its highest-order directive, and a Star Lord was already on the way!

This matter was no longer merely serious—it had risen to a heaven-shaking level. Even the highest authorities had cast their gazes over to observe!

"Remember, we want him alive."

The enforcer squad's captain wore heavy armor and was comparatively calm. The situation was obvious now: driven into a corner, the dog had leaped over the wall and activated a Star Artifact to kill a Third Realm expert. If it was not him, who else could it be?

"An alive one is worth more than a dead one. This is a heaven-sent treasure. Whoever kills him shouldn't blame me for showing no mercy."

Yuan Lin was at the peak of the Other Shore and possessed a special constitution. He knew all too well how important Chen Fusheng was. Once he subdued him, power, status, generous rewards, beauties—he could have anything he wanted!

He might even rise three ranks in one stroke!

Furthermore, because the Star Palace had issued a warning after discovering a practitioner of the Contemplation Method, it had entered its highest state of military readiness. The Black River had already been completely sealed off!

Under heaven, everything was within the Star Palace's grasp. Who could possibly make a move?

A group of enforcers surrounded Chen Fusheng, wielding all kinds of weapons—blades, axes, spears, shields...

Ling Yao uneasily swept his gaze around. He was worried Chen Fusheng had more reinforcements. Everyone wanted to swallow this achievement alone; the more participants there were, the smaller each person's share would be.

"Attack!"

Yuan Lin watched coldly as more than a dozen Star Palace treasure ships fled into the four quarters. He needed to seize the moment and secure the achievement.

"Rumble!"

The enforcers charged in, energy surging through their qi seas. Weapons cut across the sky, and an iron-blooded killing force rolled forward, its tearing impact overwhelmingly fierce.

Chen Fusheng raised his head. His loose hair veiled his face, and he evaded the various cold weapons sweeping toward him like a ghost.

Chen Fusheng moved like a dancing crane, drifting unpredictably between motion and stillness as he avoided more than a dozen waves of attacks in an extremely brief span.

"Suppress him!"

A muffled roar like thunder rang out. A giant man raised a huge shield high, radiating an energy curtain that blanketed the sky before pressing down with overwhelming force.

Chen Fusheng's gaze turned razor-sharp, and his vital essence, spirit, and energy became terrifying. Behind him appeared the projection of an Explosive Ape Chest Beating, savage and brutal beneath the moonlight!

He punched toward the sky, colliding with the enormous steel shield.

The result was rather brutal. The flesh on Chen Fusheng's fist was torn open, but the shield erupted with terrifying recoil, shattering the giant man's burly arm.

"Ah..." He screamed in terror as the huge shield crushed back down on him, blowing his body apart alive!

The bloody sight horrified everyone. What kind of fleshly body was this? Its strength was outrageously hard, and its explosive force was even more spine-chilling.

Chen Fusheng's robe was stained with blood. The madness he had shown at first was gone, replaced by an icy gaze. His entire bearing had transformed; his blood and qi surged, and his killing intent was as sharp as a blade.

"Rumble!"

He pounced forward to kill, like an eagle spreading its wings, a vicious tiger breaking from its cage, and a dragon-serpent lashing its tail. His iron fists carved the way as his boiling blood and qi formed a raging tide of slaughter.

At times he was fierce, at times savage, at times brutal, and at times ferocious.

In scarcely any time at all, seven or eight enforcers who had surrounded him were sent flying one after another.

Their fleshly bodies were like scraps of rotten paper, their shattered forms split and drenched in blood, a sight too gruesome to behold.

"Kill..." Chen Fusheng let out a low growl. His loose hair whipped wildly, making him resemble a terrifying human demon, his killing intent dyeing his eyes red!

Ling Yao's flesh broke out in gooseflesh. This Baleful Intent was utterly different from before, chilling him to the bone.

"Boom!"

Just as Chen Fusheng swept through all quarters, a purple-gold iron whip shot from Yuan Lin's sleeve. It danced through the air like a spirit snake and, with a thunderous crack, bound around Chen Fusheng's waist.

This was a special weapon forged from the sinew of a Third Order spirit snake, capable of effectively restraining body cultivators.

"You actually killed several of my brothers, you little demon. I'll chop off those hands of yours!"

Yuan Lin did not know whether he had acted intentionally or unintentionally by waiting until now to strike. A sinister look filled his eyes as he shook the purple iron whip, intending to force Chen Fusheng to his knees.

"Heh heh, hahaha..."

Chen Fusheng clenched his fists and suddenly threw back his head with an angry laugh. Being called a demon over and over made his emotions roar in his chest like a powder keg, as if they had been doused in oil.

"Am I a demon? What did I do wrong? Fine, then—I'm a demon!"

Multicolored radiance boiled from Chen Fusheng's pores, as if a profound starry sky had manifested. Within it flickered countless points of starlight.

Yuan Lin's pupils abruptly contracted. What kind of phenomenon was this? He sensed countless star fluctuations of entirely different attributes!

The multicolored material even formed a curtain like the starry sky, shaping itself into battle armor that covered his fleshly body.

In an instant, Chen Fusheng's flesh erupted with blazing light. The multicolored material surged like a raging tide, tearing open the vast sky.

"Open for me!"

Chen Fusheng roared. With the stars protecting his body, he unleashed the full potential of his fleshly body. The purple-gold iron whip was struck back by savage force, and Yuan Lin failed to hold on for a moment, causing it to tear free from his grasp.

Chen Fusheng seized the whip with his other hand and swung it like a staff. Layer upon layer of whip shadows lashed across the four quarters, smashing the bodies of one enforcer after another.

Ling Yao began to grow wary. Yuan Lin still showed no intention of making a move. What was he trying to do? Swallow the achievement alone?

The ship was littered with rotten flesh and mutilated corpses. The twelve remaining enforcers retreated nervously, and the atmosphere throughout the scene grew somewhat strange.

"What, you all want to swallow the achievement alone?" Chen Fusheng's bloodstained lips curled with mockery. He had still not used the Vajra Talisman.

All the enforcers glanced between Ling Yao and the captain, their expressions shifting uncertainly. They began to realize that Chen Fusheng was merely a stepping stone on the road to becoming a Star Official.

"Rebel, you're on the verge of death and still trying to sow discord."

Ling Yao declared coldly and strode forward forcefully. Both his palms were red as blood, and immense fire-attributed material surged out, forming a blazing mountain filled with destructive fluctuations.

Volcano Seal, a low-tier Star Skill!

Ling Yao condensed it from qi-sea energy, blocking the sky as raging flames roared to life.

Although he had attacked and hated Chen Fusheng to the bone, he had not truly gone mad. He was also guarding against Yuan Lin secretly striking from the shadows.

"Take him down in one go!"

Wearing heavy armor, Yuan Lin erupted in an instant. His fist broke through the speed of sound, and the air boomed with enormous force.

This offensive was horrifyingly powerful, enough to overturn a large swath of Star Masters in one blow.

The two peak Other Shore experts attacked from front and rear. The Volcano Seal locked down the sky, while the surrounding Star Masters coordinated with long-range attacks. The place where Chen Fusheng stood was engulfed by a tide of energy.

But something bizarre happened. The Volcano Seal suddenly slipped out of control, and along with the radiating energy storm, it all poured neatly into a bag.

Immediately afterward, the bag released dense nebulae that shrouded the entire area. Everyone quickly lost their bearings, and someone cried out in terror, "That's the Prefect Lord's Star Cloud Bag!"

"What? Chen Fusheng, where do you think you're running?" Ling Yao turned pale with shock. He had not expected the Prefect Lord to give him such a treasure.

But the nebula material formed a world of mist and barriers, making it impossible to find any direction. Ling Yao feared Chen Fusheng would take advantage of the chaos to jump into the river and escape!

"Try to run, and I'll cut your grandfather into a thousand pieces!" Ling Yao shouted like a madman.

"Boom!"

A muffled explosion burst open, forcefully answering Ling Yao's threat.

In the region where the sound came from, a large cloud of Blood Mist exploded within the maze of barriers!

An enforcer had been ambushed. It was as if a thick elephant trunk had wrapped around his waist, and he stared in utter terror as his body exploded where he stood!

Yuan Lin charged fiercely toward the place where it had happened, but in another direction, Blood Mist splattered through the air amid shrill screams. An enforcer had been struck by a fist, and his body shattered apart with a thunderous boom!

The surviving enforcers trembled. Demons seemed to run rampant within the maze, with huge, savage beastly shadows repeatedly flashing into view. The terror of death left them gasping for breath.

Spurt! Spurt!

Vast swaths of terrifying bloodlight bloomed, and more and more people died.
