This realm was called the Great Star Realm, named for the exceptionally large star that hung in its night sky.
The entire boundary had only one supercontinent, with oceans and islands making up the rest. Spiritual qi was thin, so resources were scarce. The strongest cultivators were at the nascent soul late stage, and even they numbered fewer than ten.

The sword light's power was terrifying. Its mere aftershocks annihilated the souls of the two golden core demonic cultivators
