Li Qingshan let out a long roar, his hands forming a seal, unleashing an unparalleled will to suppress all heavens and reverse the universe!
An ancient seal took shape atop his head, as if bearing the weight of the heavens.
Carrying a terrifying aura capable of Return to the Ruins, it charged headlong into the sky filled with axe shadows!
Rumble!
Wherever the Heaven-Overturning Seal passed, the axe shadows crumbled and the space itself collapsed layer by layer!
Finally, it collided with the giant axe again. This time, the Star God Giant Spirit was actually shaken back a step, and several stars beneath its feet were crushed!
"The Imperial Seal, establishing the dynasty's rule!"
Li Qingshan, having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage and changed his tactics once more.
The fist imprint transformed into a golden divine seal, upon which were the phantoms of mountains, rivers, and the prayers of all people, exuding Imperial Dragon Qi that ruled over the primordial world and reigned supreme over all under heaven!
This seal seemed to have stirred up a torrent of humanity, sweeping in with righteous indignation!
The Star God Giant Spirit roared, holding his giant axe horizontally in front of him, gathering the power of the stars to form a thick barrier.
"Bang!"
The Human Emperor Seal slammed into the Star Power Barrier, Imperial Dragon Qi and the Star Laws clashed fiercely, producing a teeth-grinding cracking sound!
Ultimately defeated, it exploded with a deafening roar. The colossal body of the Star God Giant Spirit was sent flying backward, smashing into several stars formed from starlight!
Roar! Stars explode!
The Star God was utterly enraged. He spread his arms, and countless stars around him simultaneously lit up with blinding light, before exploding violently!
This is an indiscriminate, destructive energy shock that will annihilate all matter within the formation!
"Afraid of you?! The Sun True Fire Burn Heaven and Boil the Sea!"
Li Qingshan pushed the primordial power of the Sun True Body to its limit.
The crimson-gold Sun True Fire surged outwards from him like a tsunami.
It collided violently with the explosive energy of the incoming star!
boom!
boom!
boom!
At this moment, the array space seemed to have returned to the Heaven-Opening, where the forces of light and heat, destruction and creation intertwined and annihilated each other!
As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless sea of golden fire and the light of shattered stars!
Once the energy subsided slightly, Li Qingshan stood in the scorching Void, the golden light of the Sun True Body dimming somewhat.
A trickle of golden blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, yet his posture remained as upright as a divine mountain!
The figure of the Star God Giant Spirit was mostly blurred, clearly indicating that it had suffered more severe injuries!
"It's over!"
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, merging his remaining divine power with his overwhelming fighting spirit.
The strange phenomenon of " Myriad Selves as One " faintly appeared behind him. Although it was not fully unfolded, it had borrowed a wisp of power from all the heavens.
He unleashed the Heaven-Overturning Seal once more. This time, the light from his fist imprint was restrained, yet it contained a trace of the ultimate destructive power of the law of annihilation!
The fist imprint pierced through the Void, striking precisely at the core of the Star God Giant Spirit, the simulated North Star!
Click!
Like a shattered mirror, the Star God Giant Spirit let out a defiant roar, its massive body breaking apart inch by inch, transforming into the purest stellar energy and dissipating into nothingness.
With the destruction of the Star God, the Zhoutian Star Formation lost its core support and began to collapse completely.
Billions of stars fell like rain, the Milky Way swirled upside down, and space was distorted to its extreme.
Li Qingshan seized this fleeting opportunity and gathered his last strength.
With their bodies as arrows and their will as bows, they launched a final assault on the now-dimmed North Star, the gate of life that had appeared!
"Open!"
The stars shattered in response, the formation trembled violently, and the celestial constellations began to collapse.
As space distorted, he saw a faint light at the entrance of the cave.
He grabbed the Dao Bell and leaped away.
The formation behind him collapsed with a roar, turning into countless stardust fragments that dissipated into the mist of Mount Kunlun.
The sun shines on the earth once more, and the two-month-long prison of the starry sky has finally come to an end.
Li Qingshan sat on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his clothes tattered, but his eyes shone with an astonishing light.
After catching his breath, he realized he was in a secluded valley.
The source of that spiritual energy was on the rock wall ahead, and it was even more concentrated and clearer than before.
He stood up, supporting himself against the rock wall, and slowly walked towards the source of the spiritual energy.
A half-damaged Stone Gate is embedded in the rock wall, with the four characters "Zifu Danfang" (Purple Mansion Elixir Room) carved on the lintel.
Although the handwriting was blackened by the fire, it still exuded a sacred Daoist charm that was chilling to the bone.
"That was close! That was probably a Saint-level killing formation here."
Li Qingshan muttered to himself, a chill creeping down his spine.
He knew perfectly well that if this great formation had not endured countless years, its divine power would have long since been completely lost.
With his Dragon Transformation Realm alone, he would probably be reduced to ashes the moment the formation was triggered.
"The power of the Ancient Saint truly cannot be measured by ordinary reason."
He channeled his remaining divine power and pushed open the heavy Stone Gate.
"It's the alchemy chamber of Ancient Saint sage!"
A rich medicinal fragrance wafted over, mixed with the true yang energy of the earth's fire.
The room is connected to a vein of earth fire, and the intense heat of the earth fire flows slowly through the cracks in the rocks.
The rock face is covered with densely packed runes, all of which are insights gained from alchemy and cultivation.
"The Dao of Alchemy is not a game of controlling the timing of fire; it is in fact the work of stealing Yin-Yang and seizing the power of Fortune."
Li Qingshan paused to examine it closely, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes. "People value the refining power of fire, but the highest good is like water; its true meaning lies in harmony."
Using the divine as a medium, drawing upon the violent fire of the earth as Yang, and gathering the gentle spiritual energy of heaven and earth as Yin, only through the balance of Yin-Yang and Yang, and the convergence of dragon and tiger, can a spark of primordial life be nurtured within the cauldron—this is the beginning of the "Great Elixir."
On the central stone platform, a purple treasure censer stands quietly, about ten feet tall, its body gleaming with a dark purple luster.
The surface is engraved with fire patterns and cloud seal script, and the animal head ears on both sides exhale purple mist.
A faint light flickered at the bottom of the furnace, as if some creature was lurking there.
Li Qingshan sense and was shocked.
A faint divine thought slumbered at the bottom of the furnace, trapped in chaos.
"It is an incomplete deity within, a spirit within the artifact!"
Although this treasure furnace was not forged from Immortal Gold, it is a top-tier Saint Weapon.
The spirit of the artifact can precisely control the fire and even record the alchemy process.
When the Divine Markings on the furnace body lit up, they projected an illusory image of Ancient Saint sage refining elixirs:
A saint, whose face was obscured, held a medicine spoon, and the earth fire precisely heated the furnace in eighty-one stages, his divine thoughts guiding the medicinal liquid like silk threads.
"What an ingenious method of fire control!"
Li Qingshan was so engrossed in looking at it that he suddenly realized, after comparing the runes on the rock wall, that "body tempering can be connected with the method of alchemy."
Using one's own vital energy as a furnace, divine thought as fire, and stellar power as medicine, one tempers the divine body.
Scattered around the stove were charred, decaying medicinal residues and a few pieces of jade.
When pieced together, it turned out to be an incomplete formula for the " Spirit-Concentrating Pill ".
Although only the eight-character mantra "forging medicine with earth fire, guiding the spirit with divine thought" remained, he quickly completed the crucial steps by combining the runes on the rock wall and the illusory image of the treasure furnace:
"The process of 'earth fire' requires four steps: initial warming, intermediate forging, intense burning, and gentle nurturing. The guidance of spiritual energy must be in harmony with the tides of the sun and moon. Only by entering the elixir at sunrise can one condense one's spirit."
He tried to activate the treasure furnace, injecting a trace of Solar True Force.
Purple flames immediately spewed from the beast-head ears on the furnace body, with the temperature precisely controlled at the "medium forging" level.
The spirit of the artifact transmitted a faint message, seemingly guiding the changes to come.
"This treasure furnace can not only refine pills, but also assist in comprehending the laws of fire."
There's more!
His gaze swept to the corner, where a half-foot-thick layer of dust had accumulated.
A faint jade-like light shimmered beneath the dust, and he walked over and brushed away the accumulated dust.
An ancient jade box was revealed, its body engraved with celestial patterns, quite similar to the killing formation that had just trapped him.
The jade box was tightly closed, but the aura emanating from the cracks made him tremble.
