Astral Hunting, Divine Ability Drops

This starry sky is desolate and lifeless.

Huge meteorite fragments, like isolated islands floating in an endless ocean, slowly traversed the deep darkness.

In the distance, nebulae occasionally emitted an eerie glow, flickering like the breath of a dying beast.

The whole world seemed to have fallen into an eternal, deathly silence.

Is this... the Astral Battlefield?

Dongfang Yueming stood atop a massive meteorite and slowly closed his eyes.

A powerful Divine Sense, like a tidal wave, spread outwards in all directions.

He could clearly sense that the laws here were completely different from those of the Immortal-Abandoned Continent!

Gravity fluctuates, sometimes strong, sometimes weak. One moment you're as light as a swallow, the next you're as heavy as a mountain!

Time sometimes flies, sometimes it slows down. As far as the eye can see, some nebulae are constantly changing, while some meteorites seem to have stood still for eternity!

The space itself is so fragile, like thin paper, with tiny spatial cracks visible everywhere, like hideous scars in this dark starry sky!

[I wonder where Qin Rushuang is now.]

[Given her personality, she'll definitely be very worried if she finds out she's lost to me, right?]

Just then!

"Hiss--!"

A roar filled with savagery and greed suddenly erupted behind him!

Suddenly, a terrifying star beast appeared out of thin air, its body completely black, shaped like a mantis, yet with countless scarlet compound eyes and mouthparts filled with sharp, menacing teeth!

Its two forelimbs, like death scythes, brought down with a terrifying force capable of cleaving through everything, slashing down towards the Dongfang Yueming!

Its power was already... comparable to the Mid Golden Core!

However, Dongfang Yueming didn't even turn his head.

He simply pointed it out with one finger.

Second-tier top-level spiritual technique - Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light!

"Laugh--!"

A beam of annihilating light, as black as ink and seemingly capable of swallowing all light, One Flash and disappeared!

That arrogant astral behemoth didn't even have time to react!

Its body, along with its soul, had been completely erased by that annihilating divine light, transforming into the most primordial... nothingness.

[ From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, spiritual power has completely transformed into magical power. The power of this second-tier spiritual technique has increased by more than one level compared to before.]

[According to Hong Ling, under the special laws of this Astral Battlefield, killing any living being is possible...]

And just then, in the instant it vanished!

A strange fragment, entirely black, with countless stars seemingly rising and falling on it... slowly emerged from the Xukong!

[Ding! Successfully plundered the ' Law Fragment '!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have mastered a brand new Yellow-Grade Divine Ability - [Scythe of Shadow]!]

[Scythe of Shadow (300/50000, Minor Accomplishment)]

Is this... plunder?

Looking at the brand-new entries on the panel, Dongfang Yueming's eyes flashed with a knowing glint!

[They can even directly obtain the opponent's progress in cultivating their Divine Ability abilities! That's truly... domineering!]

However... this Divine Ability is only the lowest level, Yellow Grade.

Just then!

Three terrifying auras, filled with boundless killing intent, descended from three directions with a thunderous roar!

"You little beast! Let's see where you run to this time!"

Three elders, dressed in Storm Mountain attire and all possessing the aura of Late Golden Core, formed a triangular formation, completely sealing off all of Dongfang Yueming's escape routes!

"Oh?" Dongfang Yueming looked at the three uninvited guests before him, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "It seems you came here specifically to see me!"

"That's right!" The leading elder revealed a cruel smile. "Boy! Blame it on yourself for offending Storm Mountain!"

[So they're from Storm Mountain. Qin Rushuang said that anyone from Storm Mountain should be killed!]

"However," Dongfang Yueming shook his head, "I'm very curious, how did you find me so accurately?"

"Hahaha!" The elder seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Boy! You don't actually think that the Purple Thunder Sect's teleportation array is completely foolproof, do you?!"

"I see." Dongfang Yueming nodded.

[It seems that the tampering with the teleportation array wasn't an accident, but rather... premeditated.]

"Enough with the nonsense! Prepare to die!" The elder, already impatient, shouted.

Having said that, the three of them attacked simultaneously!

Three completely different, yet equally domineering, Golden Core powers transformed into three terrifying tornadoes capable of tearing through the Xukong, hurtling towards the Dongfang Yueming from three directions!

However, Dongfang Yueming simply waved his hand casually.

"Bang!"

This imminent strike was shattered as if by an invisible hand!

"What?!"

The three of them were horrified!

But after all, they were seasoned Golden Core cultivators who had fought countless battles! After a brief moment of shock, an endless ruthlessness surged into their hearts!

"Form ranks!"

"Heavenly Wind Strangulation!"

They knew they had met their match! Without any hesitation, they unleashed their trump card – a combined attack!

The three Major Accomplishment Yellow-Grade Divine Ability abilities instantly intertwined, transforming into a storm that hurtled towards Dongfang Yueming!

[This is our all-out attack! Even Golden Core Perfection at their peak might not be able to withstand it easily!]

[This kid's dead meat!]

However, Dongfang Yueming remained calm as he looked at the terrifying storm that was capable of destroying everything.

Do you know where Qin Rushuang is now?

Upon hearing this, the three elders merely sneered disdainfully!

"That bitch? Heh, she's probably already been torn to pieces by our six elders!"

"Very good."

Dongfang Yueming nodded, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

A terrifying will, indescribable in words and containing the two diametrically opposed rules of "creation" and "destruction," suddenly descended!

[Divine Ability: Two Aspects Annihilation]!

"No--!"

Before the three of them could see, the Tai Chi diagram, which contained the cycle of Yin and Yang and the beginning of all things, appeared out of thin air and instantly enveloped the invincible and terrifying storm, along with the three of them!

"Boom!"

The three Late Golden Core experts, along with their Golden Core and divine souls, were instantly and completely erased!

A moment later.

The starry sky returned to calm.

With a casual wave of his hand, Dongfang Yueming absorbed the three unclaimed storage rings into his hand.
