Escape!
Jiang Wuheng and the others were trembling.
The Star Palace Lord is an invincible being in the Weiyang Star Region for a very long time.
Back then, the opponent was only at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, yet he still overwhelmed several major forces. Now, the aura emanating from him is even more terrifying than before.
At that moment, they all understood that the other party had truly taken that step.
Half a step towards Dao Integration!
The so-called "half-step into the Dao" means that one has initially merged with the Principle and can unleash domain- Divine Ability.
Within this domain, all other Principle become ineffective; only the Principle constructed by the caster themselves are effective.
If the Principle are completely integrated with oneself, then one can condense a Dao seed and step into the true Dao Integration stage.
Such beings do not exist in the surrounding star systems.
Even if it's only half a step into the Dao Integration Realm, that's enough to crush a Void Refinement Realm expert.
At this moment, Jiang Wuheng and the others were filled with fear and unease.
They finally learned why the Star Palace hadn't appeared in the world for so long.
It must be Li Songxuan trying to break through to the half-step Dao Integration Realm.
All the Void Refinement cultivators within the Star Palace were protecting it.
The members of Cangfan Sect and the Xuling Clan were extremely pale.
They're invading the Weiyang Starfield; will this Star Palace Master let them go?
Venerable Jixuan reacted the fastest; he immediately gathered the last remaining strands of Principle, attempting to forcibly tear apart the space in front of him.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about Liu Zhenyang and the others; preserving his own life was the most important thing.
Standing on the golden road, Li Songxuan quietly watched as Venerable Jixuan attempted to tear through space, then spoke in a cold voice:
"Those cultivators from beyond the realm deserve to die!"
As he finished speaking, the surrounding space began to distort rapidly.
Then, something shocking happened.
Suddenly, strands of golden energy appeared above Venerable Jixuan's head.
Pfft!
The golden energy pierced through Venerable Jixuan's body, instantly turning it into countless pieces of flesh.
Not only his body, but also his Primordial Spirit was annihilated by this force.
"Aaaaaah!"
The piercing screams lasted only a moment before fading away; a powerful expert in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm had perished.
"The Principle of Metal, the embryonic form of the Dao!" The distant Lord of the Howling Palace spoke in a trembling voice.
This power, capable of easily annihilating a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, undoubtedly possesses the rudiments of a Dao Seed.
Faced with such power, even cultivators at the Void Refinement stage were reduced to mere ants.
After Venerable Jixuan died, countless Primordial Spirit energies filled the area, clearly reflecting everyone's faces.
Fear was written all over everyone's face.
Chen Feng unconsciously took a small step back.
His mood was no better than the others; neither his Divine Sense nor his perception could detect the Divine Ability that Li Songxuan had just used.
This proves that if the other party were to use such methods against him, he would probably suffer the same fate as that Venerable Jixuan.
But Chen Feng dared not run away now.
If they escape, it's highly likely that Li Songxuan will make another move.
Suppressing his panic, Chen Feng observed the people in the room.
He refused to believe that the Void Spirit Clan and the Cangfan Sect had no trump cards at all. If they only had this much strength, then their attack on the Weiyang Star Region would be a joke.
Liu Zhenyang and the others from Cangfan Sect were already dumbfounded as they watched their senior brother die.
If Venerable Jixuan, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, was killed so easily, then those who were in the enemy's hands would also face the same fate of being killed instantly.
Li Songxuan, who was standing on the golden road, did not make another move, but instead turned his gaze to Jiang Wuheng and Ye Chenjian and the others:
"As cultivators of the Star Domain, you have colluded with outsiders. Do you know your crime?"
Every word uttered by Li Songxuan was like heavenly music, causing everyone in the audience to feel a momentary daze.
Jiang Wuheng immediately said:
"Star Lord, we have never colluded with outsiders! When the Void Spirit Clan and the Cangfan Sect invaded, we sent people to resist them!"
Jiang Wuheng was now terrified; if Li Songxuan attacked him, he would surely die.
The Seven-Colored Venerable beside him also hurriedly said:
"Star Lord, in your wisdom, our Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect has lost thousands of disciples in the fight against the Void Spirit Clan and the Azure Mortal Sect. They all died for the sake of the Star Domain!"
Neither of them mentioned why they, as cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, had not made a move.
These were all decided by the late-stage cultivators of the major powers, and ordinary Void Refinement cultivators could only obey.
Li Songxuan simply looked at Jiang Wuheng calmly without saying a word.
But the people in the room didn't dare to breathe loudly.
The dozens of Void Refinement cultivators from the Star Palace all wore frosty expressions and remained silent.
After a dozen or so breaths, Li Songxuan finally spoke:
"Your matters can wait; let's first clear out these extraterrestrial scum."
As soon as the words were spoken, golden streams appeared in the starry sky, above the heads of everyone except the cultivators of the Weiyang Star Region.
Clearly, Li Songxuan intended to eliminate everyone except those in the Weiyang Star Region.
He couldn't be bothered to listen to what these people had to say; anyone who wasn't from their Weiyang Star Region was to die.
Upon seeing the appearance of the golden stream, Liu Zhenyang, the Palace Master, and the others all showed expressions of fear.
They wanted to rebel, but all their Principle had failed.
Now everyone is in the domain created by a half-step Dao Integration expert, and all the Principle are suppressed.
Chen Feng was the one least affected.
He used the power of the stars in the heavens, which had absolutely nothing to do with the Principle, but even so, the golden stream itself gave him an irresistible power.
This is the manifestation of the golden Principle condensing into a Dao seed, something that beings at his level simply cannot withstand.
"We have no choice but to give it a shot!"
Chen Feng made the star array within his body spin rapidly, and endless star power empowered him.
He managed to deflect some of the terrifying pressure emanating from the golden stream.
"Hmm?" Li Songxuan seemed to have noticed this, and then turned his gaze to Chen Feng.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, Li Songxuan's usually calm eyes suddenly lit up with a different kind of brilliance.
"You do indeed have her scent on you!" Li Songxuan suddenly said this out of the blue.
But before he could speak again, a colossal hand, reaching for the sky, rushed rapidly toward them from the distant starry sky.
This hand was formed from a convergence of yellow light.
The mere phantom of a hand is comparable to a cultivation star!
The giant hand didn't arrive by tearing through space, but rather by piercing through it, at an unbelievable speed.
In the blink of an eye, they were close to the starry sky where Chen Feng and the others were.
At the same time, countless cracks appeared all around this starry sky. These cracks were not spatial rifts, but rather as if something had been broken.
Through these cracks, everyone was able to see the scene outside.
They were still on the edge of Weiyang; this was clearly another unfamiliar starry sky.
These people, at some point, were taken away from their original starry sky.
Now that the giant hand has appeared, the true nature of this starry sky has been revealed.
Li Songxuan's expression remained unchanged when he saw the large yellow hand; he seemed to have expected it.
The Principle of Metal once again condensed in the starry sky, and strands of golden threads wrapped around the giant hand.
In a short while, the giant hand was separated into countless pieces by the golden threads.
Strangely, their earth-shattering battle caused no damage to the surrounding space, as if their fight took place in another dimension.
"Li Songxuan, you've indeed broken through!"
A powerful voice rang out in the arena, and then everyone saw a blurry figure appear in the distance.
The figure seemed to be covered by countless spaces, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
Upon seeing this person, Lord Xiao immediately shouted:
"Chief!"
Upon hearing Lord Xiao's words, Chen Feng's expression changed.
He had learned about the Void Spirit Clan from Priest Jiang years ago; the Void Spirit Clan Chief, Void Wuji, was currently the strongest person in the Void Spirit Clan on the surface.
Of course, given Jiang's status, he had no idea what realm the Void Spirit Clan Chief was.
It now appears that the opponent is also a powerhouse at the half-step Dao Integration level.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through the domain constructed by Li Songxuan.
The appearance of the Void Spirit Clan Chief relieved Chen Feng. Although the domain here was not completely destroyed, many gaps had been opened.
I still have a chance to escape.
In the distance, the blurry figure spoke again, "I, Xu, rarely see a nascent Dao Seed formed from the Principle of Metal. Let's give it a try today!"
As the blurry figure finished speaking.
Immediately, streaks of earthy-yellow energy appeared in the surrounding starry sky, enveloping the entire area.
Its terrifying power was even stronger than the Divine Ability Li Songxuan had used before.
Li Songxuan vanished from his spot with a single step on the golden avenue, countless golden lights crushing towards the distant figure.
The fight between two near-Dao Integration Realm experts was completely invisible to the others.
What everyone could see was the fluctuation of intertwined Power of Principle, and the Divine Ability displayed by the two had completely surpassed the Refinement of Emptiness level.
But Li Songxuan went to deal with the patriarch of the Void Spirit Clan.
Chen Feng and the others also had a chance to escape, as the power of the golden stream had been weakened by at least 80%.
Chen Feng was the first to make a move.
He wasn't a cultivator from the Void Spirit Clan, so the other clan leader wouldn't protect him.
With the power of the stars empowered, Chen Feng punched the golden stream above his head.
This punch was almost entirely Chen Feng's full power.
Boom!
The moment his fist touched the golden stream, Chen Feng felt a sharp force constantly eroding his fist.
In an instant, his flesh and blood melted away, revealing bones that shimmered with starlight.
But it was this very punch that blasted the golden stream apart.
Chen Feng immediately felt that he could move again, and he flew towards the gap in the distant domain without hesitation.
Chen Feng wasn't the only one making a move; several members of the Void Spirit Clan were also fleeing towards the breach, along with Jiang Wuheng and others.
Although Jiang Wuheng and the others were cultivators from the Weiyang Star Region, they secretly disobeyed the Star Palace's orders and colluded with the Void Spirit Clan and the Cangfan Sect.
Although the Star Palace has let them go for now, they will definitely bring them back to the Star Hall.
By then, it will be no different from if they were dead.
However, as soon as the group moved, the star palace in the sky immediately released golden ripples.
These golden ripples pierced through everything in this starry sky, and everyone felt as if their sea of consciousness was being scraped by a scythe, causing unbearable pain.
"A soul attack!" Chen Feng was shocked.
If he were still Spirit Transformation Divine Sense, he would probably have been annihilated on the spot by that golden fluctuation.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had raised his Divine Sense power to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Chen Feng then glanced at the fleeing crowd.
The cultivators of the Void Spirit Clan and the Cangfan Sect were surrounded by an earthy yellow light, which clearly served a protective function.
It directly blocked the golden ripples.
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng immediately understood that it was the Void Spirit Clan's half-step Dao Integration Realm cultivator who was protecting him.
As for Jiang Wuheng and the others on the other side, they were in a much worse situation.
Batu of the Giant Spirit Clan and the Void Refinement cultivator of the Myriad Manifestations Sect were already howling in agony, their expressions contorted in pain.
Jiang Wuheng and Ye Chenjian are both at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Although her face turned pale after being swept by the golden ripples, it wasn't a serious matter.
A large golden bell appeared above the heads of Jiang Henian and the Seven-Colored Venerable, providing protection.
But at this moment, Jiang Wuheng and the others didn't care about the Spirit Transformation from the Giant Spirit Clan and the Myriad Manifestations Sect. They were all frantically fleeing towards the gap in the domain.
But at that moment, the Star Palace once again emitted golden ripples, this time nine in a row.
Not only that, the Star Palace Refinement cultivators who had been standing on the golden avenue all rushed towards Chen Feng and the others.
When all thirty-two Void Refinement cultivators attacked together, the terrifying pressure they exerted was simply frightening.
Jiang Wuheng and the others were almost in despair. Even if they escaped the domain, there was no way they could escape from so many Void Refinement experts in the Star Palace.
The group all wore fierce expressions and unleashed various life-saving Divine Ability, increasing their escape speed several times over once again.
Boom boom boom!
Golden ripples relentlessly assaulted Chen Feng's sea of consciousness, turning his face deathly pale. Even his mid-stage Void Refinement Divine Sense was struggling to withstand the onslaught.
The group slowed down.
Soon, the Void Refinement cultivators from the Star Palace caught up, with five of them heading towards Chen Feng.
Three of these five people are at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately threw out the Void Stones from his storage ring; these were powerful antimatter weapons stored in his storage ring.
Chen Feng naturally brought some things with him on his trip to the Weiyang Star Region.
At that moment, he threw everything away without holding back.
Click!
All five Returning Void Stones cracked open, and the annihilation energy inside immediately erupted.
Upon seeing this annihilating energy, the pursuing Starry Sky Refinement cultivators immediately intervened to stop it.
Chen Feng activated the star array again to increase his speed.
Although he has an antimatter warship at his disposal, this area is within the domain's range, and the antimatter warship would probably be blasted to pieces by the Power of Principle of this place as soon as it is brought out.
Chen Feng is currently enduring not only the divine soul attack released by the Star Palace, but also the Power of Principle within the domain, yet he has withstood the damage from the Power of Principle with his physical body.
At this moment, half of Chen Feng's flesh and blood had disappeared.
Therefore, he can only use the antimatter warship when he breaks out of the domain.
After briefly intercepting Xinggong's Void Refinement Realm cultivator, Chen Feng was still tens of thousands of miles away from the gap in the domain.
For Chen Feng, this distance was only a few seconds' travel.
Having transformed into starlight, Chen Feng, having escaped the cultivators of the Star Palace Refining Void Realm, became the fastest to flee.
As he passed by the Giant Spirit Clan and the Void Refinement cultivators of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Chen Feng didn't hesitate to smash their heads and then collect their Primordial Spirit.
He certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to easily eliminate the enemy.
The two were completely powerless against the golden ripples from the Star Palace.
Chen Feng killed the two men with a casual gesture.
"We have to force them to reveal their storage space when we get back, or we'll suffer a huge loss this time!"
Chen Feng's face was frosty. He never expected that he would be drawn into the power struggle between beings who had just reached the Dao Integration stage.
