The next moment, Dijun's icy gaze met the Lord of Stars' directly.
"Heavenly Realm."
"There can only be one ruler."
"Seeing how hard you've worked to cultivate, I'll give you two choices today."
"Submit! Or... die!"
"If you submit and swear allegiance to the Heavenly Court, I can grant you the honored position of a Star Lord."
As Emperor Venerate spoke, his eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
If his opponent weren't also a Sub-Saint, he wouldn't have wasted so many words. He would have simply struck him down.
"Haha!"
Hearing Emperor Venerate's words, the Lord of Stars laughed in fury.
"How laughable!"
"You think you can make me submit? What a delusion!"
"I think... you're the one who's asking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Stars' expression turned vicious.
He hadn't wanted to invite complications before completing his cultivation, but Emperor Venerate's appearance had thrown his plans into disarray.
Besides, judging by Emperor Venerate's attitude, he clearly had no intention of letting things end peacefully.
Boom!
A boundless, violent aura erupted from the Lord of Stars.
"Emperor Venerate."
"Since you're seeking your own death, I'll use your blood to honor my Star Dao!"
With that, the Lord of Stars vanished in an instant!
In the next moment, countless astral phantoms appeared throughout the Small World.
Each phantom radiated an immense gravitational force and destructive starlight!
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire space seemed to become a miniature cosmic expanse.
"Starry Sky Prison Suppression!"
A cold voice rang out.
Then, countless astral phantoms came crashing down on Emperor Venerate from every direction, carrying overwhelming power capable of crushing all things.
Emperor Venerate's expression darkened. With no time to think, he hurriedly summoned his vast magical power. As it surged around him, it formed a golden shield.
