Skystar Zi

After the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword survived the Lightning Tribulation, it flew down from the sky.

It landed in front of Chen Nianzhi and said calmly, "Master."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. He grasped the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword and found it to be exceptionally beautiful, radiating a dazzling light. The pale purple Lihuo seemed capable of burning the entire sky.

The consciousness of the Life-Bound Immortal Sword comes from the Divine Sense that Chen Nianzhi initially engraved into the immortal sword, so strictly speaking, the Life-Bound Immortal Sword is another incarnation of the cultivator.

Chen Nianzhi and the Immortal Sword were of one mind, and Chen Nianzhi immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of this Demon-Refining Immortal Sword. This sword had absorbed the boundless power of the Infernal Flame Sea, and its power was even three times stronger than expected.

How are you feeling?

Seeing his delighted expression, Jiang Linglong quickly asked.

After putting away his Life-Bound Immortal Sword, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "With this sword in hand, I've finally reached the threshold of becoming a top expert in the Eastern Region."

"That's good."

The two chatted as they returned to the ruins.

Seeing them return, Clear-Moon Wheel said with a smile, "Another Spirit Treasure has advanced this time, truly a cause for celebration."

"I must thank you both for your help," Chen Nianzhi said with a smile, then looked at the Slanting Sun Wheel and said, "After the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword is upgraded, it can assist in refining the Netherworld Qi with a single strike, which should save you some effort."

"That's true."

The Slanting Sun Wheel said calmly that with its power and the strength of its formation, it would normally take more than ten years to refine the Netherworld Qi, but if it had another fire-attribute Demon-Refining Immortal Sword, it could save five or six years.

From that day on, besides cultivating, Chen Nianzhi's main task every day was to use the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword to refine the Netherworld Qi.

"..."

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the Infernal Flame Sea.

The newcomer was none other than Skystar Zi, Skystar Zi was dressed in a star-patterned Daoist robe and actually blocked the entrance to the ruins.

"It was him?"

Clear-Moon Wheel noticed something was wrong and said in a surprised tone.

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked with a serious expression, "Does Senior also know him?"

"Of course I recognize it."

As the Slanting Sun Wheel spoke, Chen Nianzhi finally understood the whole story.

When Chen Nianzhi first entered the ruins, she was tracked all the way to the front of the ruins by Skystar Zi. Back then, they defeated Skystar Zi outside the ruins.

Although Skystar Zi was defeated that time, he was still a cultivator at the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm stage, so he still noticed the clues about the ruins.

Later, Skystar Zi Sun-Moon Sect Ruins twice in order to search for the relics.

Unfortunately, Skystar Zi's strength was still insufficient at that time, and he also failed to find the right time, so he was ultimately blocked outside the ruins by the formation.

Moreover, he was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he simply focused his attention on achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

Skystar Zi had only broken through to the Nascent Soul a few decades ago, had just recovered 90% of his injuries, and had only just consolidated his cultivation, yet he hurriedly arrived before the ruins.

After hearing Slanting Sun Wheel finish explaining the Karmic Retribution, Chen Nianzhi's expression turned solemn. He said directly, "To be honest, this person has a significant Karmic Retribution with me."

"Back then, I Heart-Demon Blood Oath..."

Chen Nianzhi calmly spoke, telling the two Demon Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure about Lin Daoyang's situation.

After listening, Clear-Moon Wheel said, "This person is ruthless and cruel, and deserves this calamity. We will lend you a hand."

"Thank you very much." Chen Nianzhi nodded, then said, "Just keep watch for us and make sure he doesn't get away."

As they were talking, Skystar Zi stepped in and calmly asked, "Are you planning to open the ruins yourselves, or will I, the True Lord, do it myself?"

That Skystar Zi, clad in a star-patterned Daoist robe, stood quietly before the ruins, and an invisible aura suppressed even the boundless sea of fire.

His calm gaze swept across the ruins, and he actually saw through the layers of formations, discovering Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong.

"It's them?" This made Skystar Zi's pupils shrink slightly, and he thought to himself, "It is said that Jiang Linglong has refined a natal demon -Demon-Refining Immortal Sword, and her strength is probably enough to contend with Nascent Soul True Lord."

"I have only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul and do not even possess a single demon -Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure. I am afraid I will not fare well against their combined attack."

Skystar Zi and decided to retreat for the time being.

However, Chen Nianzhi was naturally unwilling to let him go. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed bolts of divine lightning that struck down.

After breaking through to the late Golden Core stage, Chen Nianzhi's Law Power was no weaker than that of Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm cultivator, and he could barely threaten a Nascent Divine Ability Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Faced with his Divine Ability attack, Skystar Zi's pupils turned slightly cold. With a flick of his sleeve, a dazzling starlight sword Sword Qi shot out.

"The Great White Star Swordlight"

Chen Nianzhi's pupils contracted slightly. This Skystar Zi truly lived up to his reputation as True Lord. The power of the Divine Ability abilities he casually unleashed far surpassed that of Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm, enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary late Golden Core stage cultivator.

He dared not be negligent and quickly unleashed the Two-Mode Divine Thunder, which blocked the attack.

"Clang--"

Jiang Linglong seized the opportunity and made her move at that moment.

She raised her hand and unleashed the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, slashing directly at Skystar Zi's head.

As the Demon-Refining Immortal Sword came slashing down, Skystar Zi felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp. He dared to deal with Chen Nianzhi easily, but he did not dare to take the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword head-on.

Driven by Jiang Linglong's pure Law Power, the Demon-Refining Immortal Sword unleashed power no less than that of Nascent Soul True Lord at full strength.

While unleashing his Divine Ability to fight back, Skystar Zi turned and used his escape light to evade, thinking bitterly, "Damn it, if my natal Life-bound Magical Treasure hadn't been destroyed, how could they have bullied me with Law Treasure?"

The Nascent Soul tribulation extremely difficult to overcome. As a Rogue Cultivator, Skystar Zi did not possess Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure to aid him in his tribulation, and the price he paid to survive Nascent Soul tribulation was incredibly heavy.

In the recent Lightning Tribulation of Lightning Tribulation, Skystar Zi's Life-bound Magical Treasure, the Six Souls Bell, the Skystar Furnace, and the Bronze Ancient Shield, were all destroyed.

In particular, the Skystar Furnace is a treasure forged from Nine-Heavens Star Fragments, and it is the same material used by Jiang Linglong to advance to the Demon-Refining Immortal Sword.

However, faced with the incredibly difficult Nascent Soul tribulation, this incomparably powerful and renowned magic Law Treasure was still destroyed in the Lightning Tribulation.

Now that Skystar Zi has almost no high-level Law Treasure left, he is finding it difficult to cope with the combined attack of the two using only the supernatural Divine Ability he has learned.

Jiang Linglong alone had already put him at a disadvantage, not to mention Chen Nianzhi had also unleashed extremely powerful combat strength.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat the two, Skystar Zi was unwilling to linger there any longer. He used his escape light to fly eastward, but after only a few steps, he saw a dazzling light strike down, causing him to stumble.
