Chapter 235

Just as the cyclone was about to condense.

In the distance, a streak of light, as swift as lightning, pierced the void, instantly traversing tens of thousands of feet and dispersing the sword light unleashed by Wang Cheng.

Seeing his attack blocked, Wang Cheng's sword-wielding motion froze, and he raised an eyebrow slightly. "Hmm? Who is it?"

Luo Qianhua was also stunned, and immediately withdrew her aura as if nothing had happened.

When she saw who it was, a hint of joy immediately appeared in her beautiful eyes.

In mid-air, a young girl dressed in red and white floated on the air. She was tall and slender, with exquisite and unparalleled beauty. Her eyes were dark and deep, like two stars. She stood on fiery clouds, surrounded by blazing flames, appearing majestic and domineering, like a fire goddess, awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

286. The Imperial Law is very strong; you are too weak!

"I thought you weren't coming."

Luo Qianhua murmured softly, seemingly relaxing completely.

"Rest assured!"

Xiao Minghuang turned around, revealing a confident smile.

"Princess Xiao!"

Upon seeing who it was, Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "That good-for-nothing Qi Chang led over three hundred men and couldn't even kill a woman!"

It should be noted that even he, without the blessing of the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet, would not have much chance of winning against more than 300 people alone.

"It's a real shame I've disappointed you, but there's more to come than just one disappointment."

Xiao Minghuang's gaze was sharp as she spoke coldly.

She raised her right hand slightly, and a silver-white longsword materialized. A fire dragon coiled around her wrist, swirling on the blade and radiating a suffocating heat.

"Innate Fire?" Wang Cheng's gaze narrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "Princess Xiao, I know you possess Innate Fire and have comprehended the Sword Dao Domain while still in the Primal Embryo Realm, but this divine son can teach you a lesson today."

"A child prodigy may not necessarily be a great adult. You may be a formidable opponent in the Primal Embryo Realm, but in the Nascent Soul Realm, you are still far from being a match!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Minghuang's exquisite and beautiful face remained expressionless as she said indifferently, "I don't believe you. Prove it to me."

"Hmph! Pretentious!"

Wang Cheng scoffed and sneered, "Since you're so eager to die, then this divine son will grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cheng gripped his longsword tightly, and a vast and boundless sword intent erupted from his body, raging wildly and filling the entire world with destructive power.

"Princess, be careful! This is the Great Annihilation Sword Technique, a divine power inherited by the Northern Plains Wang Clan!"

Luo Qianhua's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly reminded her.

"Indeed, it is the Great Annihilation Sword Technique!"

Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her expression becoming somewhat solemn. She knew that Wang Cheng intended to kill her, and his first move was his strongest attack!

At the same time, Ye Ruoshui and the Guixu Alliance rushed over, and seeing the earth-shattering Great Destruction Sword Technique, they were all filled with worry.

"Your Highness..." Ye Ruoshui called out anxiously.

She was worried that Xiao Minghuang would be injured by the Great Destruction Sword Technique.

Xiao Minghuang's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "Don't worry, watch me kill him."

"Hmph! How arrogant!"

Wang Cheng snorted coldly, then took a step forward. With a swing of his arm, a dazzling sword light tore through the sky, followed by a deafening explosion.

This sword strike was incredibly powerful, enough to shatter mountains and break peaks—a truly astonishing feat!

Xiao Minghuang slightly raised her jade hand, and the silver-white longsword shone with starlight. The fire dragon wrapped around the blade became even more intense, like a dazzling starry sky slowly unfolding.

Her aura suddenly surged, almost reaching the King Realm under the Power of Stars. Her Sword Dao Domain activated simultaneously, and starlight surrounded her, making her appear as if she had fallen from an ancient star to the mortal world. She was stunningly beautiful, yet filled with destructive power.

In the next instant, she suddenly raised her silver-white longsword and slashed at the earth-shattering sword light.

With a deafening roar echoing through the sky, a massive Starfire Sword Shadow, hundreds of feet in size, flew out instantly, colliding with the Great Annihilation Sword Technique like a comet hitting the moon.

Boom!

The two collided, instantly unleashing a deafening roar. Terrifying aftershocks raged outwards, causing violent tremors that could be felt for miles around.

Pfft!

The sword light vanished, Wang Cheng coughed up blood as he staggered backward, his breathing disordered, his face pale, and his whole body in a sorry state.

In contrast, Xiao Minghuang remained standing tall in mid-air, her body shrouded in dazzling starlight, like a goddess of the stars.

Wang Cheng stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the scene before him.

His Great Destruction Sword Technique was actually no match for him!

"How is this possible?! How could you possibly defeat the Great Emperor Divine Ability?!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled faintly, a hint of amusement in her beautiful eyes.

"The Emperor's Law is very strong, but you are too weak."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Minghuang's figure vanished abruptly, appearing instantly behind Wang Cheng. Her long sword, wreathed in dazzling starlight, thrust violently towards Wang Cheng.

"You dare!"

Wang Cheng was startled and quickly activated his spiritual power to defend himself with martial arts techniques. At the same time, he turned around and swung his sword to resist. The clanging sound of metal clashing rang out in the air, and he was immediately knocked away.

Damn it!

Wang Cheng steadied himself in mid-air, cursed angrily, and said through gritted teeth, "You think you've got this in the bag?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cheng waved his hand, and the huge Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet seemed to sense it, immediately gushing out endless divine light, which poured into his body.

Buzzing...

In an instant, Wang Cheng's body shimmered with light, his aura surged, and his strength skyrocketed.

Three golden flowers bloomed in the void above Wang Cheng's head, and a dot of true spirit between his brows gave birth to the two energies of life and death. In just a few breaths, he had already stepped into the realm of the Life and Death King!

"Hiss--"

Everyone in the Holy Land couldn't help but gasp, looking at Wang Cheng with disbelief on their faces.

"Life and Death King!"

"I never expected Senior Brother Wang Cheng to be so powerful!"

"Huh?! What's going on? How did Wang Cheng suddenly advance to the King Realm?!"

"It's the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet! Wang Cheng has taken control of the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet and has briefly advanced to the King Realm!"

"Heaven is forsaking us! Princess Xiao is in grave danger!"

The members of the Guixu Alliance couldn't help but sigh.

In a short while, Wang Cheng had already become familiar with Wang Jing's methods, and laughed arrogantly:

"Hahaha, Xiao Minghuang, I'll tear you to pieces!"

"The power of the stone tablet..."

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. With a thought, the Heavenly Dipper Star Chart appeared before her eyes, surrounding her like a long river of stars, releasing dazzling starlight.

In the next instant, Xiao Minghuang's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light as she shot out, wielding a silver-white longsword. With a burst of dazzling starlight, she tore through the void and slashed fiercely at Wang Cheng.

"Clang--Bang--"

A series of sounds, like the clash of metal, rang out, sword light surged, and dazzling sparks flew in all directions.

Wang Cheng grinned, grabbed her sword blade with one hand, and squeezed it tightly!

Snap!

The silver-white longsword shattered like porcelain, turning into starlight and dissipating in mid-air.

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of insecurity washed over her. She immediately activated all her spiritual power and retreated at top speed.

The instant she retreated, Wang Cheng unleashed a sword strike, a terrifying Great Destruction Sword that enveloped the entire sky. Chaotic streams of sword energy scattered and flowed in all directions, and anyone who was even slightly touched by it would be shattered to pieces!

"The King Realm is so terrifying!"

Xiao Minghuang's expression was solemn. She had seen Wang Jing make a move before, but none of them were as terrifying as this.

Perhaps it's because those kings weren't like Wang Cheng, who was a divine son of the Longevity Family.

"We cannot defeat them by force!"

In a short while, Xiao Minghuang had made her decision.

287. Core of the Secret Realm

"Call out--"

Xiao Minghuang lightly touched the air with her toes, her swift figure moving quickly to dodge Wang Cheng's attacks. Her graceful movements were like a butterfly fluttering in the air.

"Do you think you can escape?" Wang Cheng sneered, unleashing the Great Annihilation Sword Technique once more.

In an instant, a vast and boundless sword light roared out, dense as raindrops, sealing off the void in all directions, leaving Xiao Minghuang with nowhere to retreat.

This scene sent chills down everyone's spine.

"This is getting a little tricky..."

Xiao Minghuang's pretty face remained calm, but her heart was extremely cautious. She was surrounded by an array of twelve Lesser Heavenly Star Chart, and a Heavenly Dipper Star Chart was above her head. Her Sword Dao Domain was condensed to the surface of her skin, completely sealing off all directions around her.

Even so, they could only do their best to defend themselves.

"If I can't break Wang Cheng's control over the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet as soon as possible, I'm destined to outlast him."

Xiao Minghuang's mind raced, and she darted and weaved rapidly, quickly approaching the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet.

"Heh." Seeing this, Wang Cheng sneered and mocked, "Princess Xiao, do you think you can control the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet with your meager strength? Don't dream!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, Xiao Minghuang's figure flashed and rushed into the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet.

"Um?"

Wang Cheng's gaze darkened, and he looked at the stone tablet with suspicion and uncertainty.

However, the moment his gaze fell upon the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet, the sinister smirk on his face froze.

He sensed that the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet was rapidly slipping out of his control, and the King-level power within him was also quickly disappearing.

"What?!" Wang Cheng's expression changed drastically, then he roared, "Get out here!"

His face showed horror, and before he could react, the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet suddenly lit up with a blazing starlight.

"Bang--Crack--"

The Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet trembled violently, countless cracks spreading across its surface, until it finally collapsed under its own weight.

"Pfft!"

The instant the stone tablet shattered, a massive backlash swept over Wang Cheng, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward like a cannonball.

However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to him anymore.

After the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet shattered, a cluster of stars radiating endless starlight rose slowly. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that thirty-six stars were connected to form a star ring.

At the center of the star ring stood Xiao Minghuang, bathed in brilliant starlight. Her dress was tinged with the color of starlight, her face was stunningly beautiful, her skin was as white as snow, her black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her golden pupils shone brightly, illuminating the world with their dazzling light, like an immortal celestial fairy.

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang, though not yet at the Life and Death King Realm, exuded an incomparably terrifying aura, as if he could decide the life and death of everyone present in an instant.

Xiao Minghuang made a hand seal with her jade fingers, and thirty-six stars slowly rotated around her body. Each rotation drew out more Power of Stars, which merged into the star ring and amplified its power.

"The Heavenly Dipper Star Chart originated from the Tiangang Secret Realm, or rather, from the Heavenly Dipper Stone Tablet. It is actually the core of the Tiangang Secret Realm. Whoever can refine the Heavenly Dipper Star Chart can control the Tiangang Secret Realm."

At this moment, she understood why Luo Qianhua had given her the picture.

Because besides her, there might be no one else who could refine the Heavenly Dipper Star Chart.

"What... what on earth is going on?!"

Wang Cheng staggered to his feet from a distance, staring dumbfounded at the stars in the sky, his face ashen with fear.
