"To think that it could transform the four primordial elements without loss..." The voice of the Lord of Truth echoed deep within the sea of fire, carrying a hint of genuine amazement, "Truly worthy of being the Mother of the Stars..."
But the Lord of Truth had no time for further thought, nor any intention to retreat. He charged forward through the sea of fire, each step creating a brief vacuum within the flames, his form like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward the Mother of the Stars!
In this process, His very life force is being ignited.
It was an extremely brutal way of consuming energy—using his own life force as fuel to forcibly drive the protective mystical light of his Chaos Saint Body to an overload level.
Faintly, the mournful cries of countless gods emanated from His body—the painful resonance of the primordial power provided to Him by billions of beings in the Spirit Saint Domain under the guidance of the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc, burning intensely. Every second, trillions upon trillions of Power of Faith were burned, consumed, and transformed into the power to resist the erosion of the sea of fire.
But the Lord of Truth continues to advance.
Seeing this, the Mother of the Stars' lips curled into a cold, sharp smile. She swung the Hammer of Earth in her hand once more, and the crimson flames changed color once more—this time faster, smoother, and more seamless than before. The flames faded, replaced by a light, ethereal, and seemingly omnipresent blue.
wind.
Azure wind elemental power erupted from the hammerhead, slashing across the sky like countless invisible giant blades! The entire Astral Realm underwent a cataclysmic change at that moment—the overwhelming sea of fire was torn apart, swept up, and engulfed by the raging wind, forming fiery tornadoes that soared into the sky! Fire and wind intertwined, transforming into an even more Berserk, chaotic, and unstoppable storm of Destruction!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared! Accompanied by a raging storm! The flames whipped up by the fire tornado erupted with purple lightning, and dark Void rifts seeped through the space torn apart by the storm. Countless strange phenomena intertwined, creating a scene that truly resembled the end of the world.
It was as if the entire Astral Realm had reached its end at this moment; all order was collapsing, all laws were burning, and all existence was heading towards its end!
The Lord of Truth struggled forward in the storm. The power of the wind was more difficult to withstand than fire—fire, though Berserk, could at least be endured, but the wind was omnipresent and all-pervasive, like billions of invisible knives simultaneously cutting every part of Him. His platinum robes shattered into countless pieces in the wind, and his body was covered with dense, intricate cuts. His steps were constantly shifted, swayed, and slowed by the pull of the storm.
But He continued onward.
Finally, when He was only one light-year away from the Mother of the Stars, the Lord of Truth suddenly exerted His power!
He swept out with the Spear of Truth in his hand, the Eye of Truth at the tip radiating a dazzling purple light of insight. Guided by that light, the spear precisely captured the trajectory of the "force" within the storm and the embers of the flames—all the storm, all the flames, all the embers were attracted, guided, and gathered by the spear, condensing into an extremely heavy, compressed force on the spear before suddenly crashing down!
Thump!
The Lord of Truth unleashed a powerful shot that had been gathering strength for a long time, slamming it down upon the Mother of the Stars!
The Mother of the Stars was like a phantom flung away by a tremendous force, plummeting madly down the Astral Realm along a straight trajectory! Her body pierced through countless dimensional barriers, smashed through countless layers of spatial structures, and tore through countless folds of Space-Time, piercing through the vast Abyss like a falling meteorite!
That Abyss was the lowest level of the Astral Realm, a void between planes, an absolute darkness where the sun never shines. The body of the Mother of the Stars fell into it, creating a huge "dent" in that Eternity darkness, like a deep crater being punched into the surface of water.
At that moment, the Abyss Will roared mournfully! The roar transformed into countless gaping, shrill, dark purple faces that surged, twisted, and coalesced wildly in the darkness of the Abyss. Those faces were the Abyss Will's instinctive stress response—an Eternal -level existence had intruded into its territory in such a brutal manner, like pressing a scorching hot iron onto its skin, causing it to howl in agony.
A powerful repulsive force, like an invisible push, surged from all directions of the Abyss, repelling, pushing, and ejecting the body of the Mother of the Stars! Although the Abyss Will was strong, it was unwilling to allow such a terrifying being to remain within its body for long. It used all its power to "spit out" the Mother of the Stars.
At this moment, the Lord of Truth was already waiting here.
His feet trod on the Void at the edge of the Abyss, the Spear of Truth held horizontally before his chest, the Eye of Truth at its tip fully charged, the purple light of insight compressed to its limit, condensing into a tiny, dazzling point of light. His gaze was locked on the Mother of the Stars, who had been ejected from the Abyss, awaiting that precise moment.
Then, with a soft "pfft!"
The Spear of Truth pierced the throat of the Mother of the Stars!
The spearhead pierced Her throat with pinpoint accuracy, entering from the front and exiting from the back, like a wedge pinning the Mother of the Stars to the Void! Destruction power erupted from the spearhead, seeping into the Mother of the Stars ' body through the wound in her throat, wreaking havoc on Her internal structure. That power carried the entire will of the Lord of Truth, determined to sever the Mother of the Stars ' neck completely, to utterly separate Her head from Her body!
But at this very moment--
The Mother of the Stars ' body suddenly turned to stone!
In that instant, His entire body was completely transformed into the earth, from flesh and blood into a humanoid boulder. The surface of the boulder was covered with brown earth patterns, so hard that even the Spear of Truth could hardly penetrate any further. The Lord of Truth felt the resistance to the spear's penetration suddenly increase a thousandfold, as if it were no longer flesh and blood but some substance harder than Eternity Adamantine.
He immediately drew his gun and swept it across!
The spear blade slashed across the Mother of the Stars's body, now reduced to a colossal rock, sending stone fragments raining down. The entire humanoid boulder shattered under the force of the spear, transforming into countless brown fragments that flew everywhere. The Lord of Truth's pupils narrowed slightly—He clearly sensed that the moment the spear blade touched the boulder's body, the Mother of the Stars's true spirit and essence had undergone some kind of mysterious transfer.
Sure enough, as the fragments flew, the Mother of the Stars ' body had already reformed and re-emerged in the spatial rift on the other side. Her face was much paler than before, and a shocking red line remained on her throat—the wound from the Spear of Spear of Truth that hadn't fully healed during her transfer. But she had ultimately escaped that fatal blow.
The Mother of the Stars stood still, her face ashen.
Then--whoosh!!
A mighty roar of flowing water suddenly resounded throughout the entire Astral Realm! This was no ordinary flow of water, but the celestial river carrying the essence of the Astral Realm's origin, cascading down from the highest point of the universe, transforming into tens of thousands of surging, roaring water dragons! Each water dragon exuded a terrifying aura at the level of a Supreme God; when its head was raised, it spewed forth towering waves capable of submerging stars, and when its tail swept across, it stirred up vast torrents capable of washing away the laws of nature!
Tens of thousands of water dragons of Supreme God surged toward the Lord of Truth!
The water flowed relentlessly, enveloping and surrounding the Lord of Truth's body with astonishing speed. The power of the water carried a terrifying corrosive force—unlike the scorching of flames or the cutting of a storm, the erosion of water was deeper, more insidious, and more difficult to defend against. That power, like countless invisible insects, burrowed into every pore, every wound, every crevice of the Lord of Truth, spreading into the depths of His soul, the interior of His body, and the depths of His memory.
