I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2343 The Power of Stars
"I'll put up with you for now," Liu Jun said, grimacing as he clutched his chest where two ribs were broken.

His face was contorted in pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes. With each word he spoke, he felt a piercing pain in his chest, as if a sharp knife were stabbing his heart.

You have to admit it, he really couldn't participate in this battle. His body was made of pure metal, incredibly hard, and his ribs were extremely tough. Under normal circumstances, even if hit by a powerful weapon, they wouldn't break so easily.

In this terrifying battle, he broke his ribs after merely grazing the edge. This made him acutely aware of the vast difference between himself and these two avatars of the Heavenly Dao, like an ant compared to a dragon—utterly incomparable.

Liu Jun slowly landed on a small asteroid floating in space, his body slamming heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Damn it, let it all end, let it all end," Liu Jun lay on the ground, trying to catch his breath, but there was no air around him, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

To be honest, after lying down, Liu Jun felt much more relaxed, at least less nervous.

"Hmm?" Liu Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up at the starry sky.

He had just vaguely sensed that these stars followed a certain pattern, as if they were deliberately arranged by some mysterious force in the universe.

The rhythmic flashing and the distribution of the light seemed to be telling a secret that no one knew.

However, before he could find the pattern, he was violently blasted away by the shockwaves from the two avatars of the Heavenly Dao, giving him no time to study the patterns of these stars.

"What? Quickly circulate the power of the five elements within your body, and then activate the power of your Law of Destruction!" The voice of the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo exploded in Liu Jun's mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jun knew that the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo was definitely helping him, so he immediately closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began to circulate the power of the five elements within his body.

In an instant, he seemed to be in a colorful world, where the spiritual power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—intertwined and surged within his body.

The power of metal is like a sharp blade, the power of wood is like a winding vine, the power of water is like a lively stream, the power of fire is like a raging fire, and the power of earth is like a heavy mountain.

These five spiritual energies have merged and promoted each other, and have long since converged into a powerful force that surges within his body.

At the same time, Liu Jun gritted his teeth and tried his best to activate the Law of Destruction.

The Law of Destruction is a power that transcends the ordinary, carrying the meaning of endless destruction and annihilation.

The moment the Law of Destruction was activated, the surrounding space seemed to tremble, and a terrifying aura spread out.

Although the space around him was devoid of any spiritual energy, resembling an abandoned wasteland, his body contained abundant spiritual power.

These spiritual energies were like a treasure within his body, which he was currently drawing upon continuously.

The domain of the Law of Destruction rapidly spread outwards, like an invisible giant net, extending in all directions.

First, it enveloped the asteroid fragment beneath Liu Jun's body. That originally ordinary fragment, under the influence of the Law of Destruction, began to have its stellar power frantically absorbed.

The power of the stars flowed continuously into Liu Jun's body, merging with his five elemental powers and the law of destruction.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding fragments were not spared either. As if drawn by an invisible force, they trembled, their internal energy being gradually drained away.

The fragments cracked more and more, as if they were enduring immense pain. The meteorites also could not escape the control of this force; they traced strange trajectories in space, converging towards Liu Jun's location.

Finally, even some small, intact asteroids were drawn into this vortex of energy.

Under the influence of the Law of Destruction, the asteroid began to shake violently, and the mountains and rivers on its surface seemed to roar. Stellar power surged out of the asteroid like a raging tide, rushing towards Liu Jun.

Liu Jun felt this powerful force continuously surging into his body, and his body began to emit a dazzling light, like a new star about to explode.

Nourished by this power, his strength is increasing at an astonishing rate, as if he is about to break through the shackles of the universe and reach a completely new realm.

But as this immense, unimaginable force surged forth, seemingly capable of shaking the entire universe, new problems arose without warning.

Although Liu Jun's body had been completely transformed by the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo, it had now become a body constructed of special metal, possessing resilience and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, when this terrifying power surged forth like a tidal wave, his seemingly indestructible special metal body finally could not withstand it.

At first, there were only tiny, almost imperceptible cracks, like spider silk, that quietly crept onto the surface of his body.

But as that immense power was continuously poured in, his strength was also increasing rapidly at an astonishing speed. At the same time, the cracks began to spread and expand wildly, each crack like a gaping maw, as if it wanted to tear his body apart completely.

"Damn it, I'm about to explode!" Liu Jun instantly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, completely panicked. His originally calm eyes were now filled with anxiety, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, rolling down his cheeks.

Although this was not the first time he had faced the danger of his body "exploding," he had experienced similar situations before.

But this time the situation is damn different. You see, he is currently in the vast and boundless space, surrounded by endless darkness, without even a trace of spiritual energy. If his body really explodes, whether he can be resurrected in this vast space is another matter entirely.

After all, the environment in this godforsaken place is too harsh, full of all sorts of unknown dangers and variables, and no one can guarantee that he can be reborn in such a desperate situation.

"Don't panic, activate the formations you left behind on the ground." Just then, the calm voice of the Golden Spirit Embryo rang in his mind.

"What's there to panic about? How am I supposed to contact the ground?" Liu Jun frowned deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness.

If AI-Powered One were beside him right now, the problem would be much simpler. That so-called super AI possesses incredibly powerful information processing and transmission capabilities; it could easily transmit not only a message to activate an array, but even send him back to his own location.

Unfortunately, the AI-powered system was not by his side, and he himself was simply unable to transmit the information back to the divine realm in an environment devoid of spiritual energy, so that Chu Liuying and the others could activate the formation.

Meanwhile, in a vast, mysterious desert in the realm of gods, amidst endless yellow sand, stood a huge black triangular metal object, resembling a sleeping ancient beast, exuding a chilling aura.

At first glance, this thing looks very similar to the super battleship that Liu Jun had the good fortune to witness last time, only much smaller in scale.

Stepping inside this metal object reveals an enormous control room. Inside, various complex and sophisticated instruments gleam with multicolored lights.

At the very top of the control room, a giant screen occupies the entire wall, resembling a huge window through which one can seemingly see a view of another world.

At this moment, not far in front of the center of the screen, there was a triangular object floating there, motionless, as if it were the core and soul of the entire control room.

This small triangular object is none other than the AI-powered No. 1. And this large triangular warship was also crafted from materials from Liu Jun's five divine domains.

The scene displayed on the giant screen was the space battlefield where the two incarnations of the Heavenly Dao were located.

The battle between the two avatars of the Heavenly Dao was exceptionally fierce. Every attack carried world-destroying power, and every collision triggered violent energy fluctuations, causing the entire space to tremble.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Jun, you've had so many misfortunes, I still have to help you." The mechanical voice of AI-powered No. 1 echoed in the control room.

Before it, a scene on the screen was rapidly magnified. The scene depicted Liu Jun, who was in dire straits and about to be burst apart by the power of the stars.

At this moment, Liu Jun was surrounded by violent star power, which surged like a tidal wave, constantly impacting his body.

His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and his body was trembling uncontrollably, as if he would be torn to pieces by this powerful force at any moment.

Meanwhile, in the solemn and majestic God's Palace in the God Realm, Chu Liuying and other core high-ranking members gathered together, their faces filled with anxiety and worry, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

"Where did Liu Jun go? What exactly happened at the Array Sect?" Chu Liuying frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.

"The latest intelligence says that everyone in the Array Sect is unconscious, but they are all still there and have not suffered any injuries. Only His Majesty has disappeared," another high-ranking official said with a puzzled look.

His voice carried a hint of helplessness and fear, as if he was worried that the worst might happen.

Clearly, none of them knew that Liu Jun had been transported to outer space by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and was frantically absorbing the power of the stars. They could only anxiously await news within the Heavenly Lord's Hall, silently praying that Liu Jun would be safe.

This divine realm has been without a divine ruler for many years. In this short period of time, the various divine domains in the divine realm have been constantly clashing, with various forces annexing each other, resulting in continuous wars and countless deaths and injuries.

The emergence of a new god-king is a rare event; if he were to disappear, the divine realm would surely descend into chaos.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere inside the Catholic Church grew increasingly heavy. Everyone remained silent, sitting there quietly, their eyes filled with unease.

They had no idea what Liu Jun was going through at that moment, nor what he was supposed to do.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence inside the Catholic Church. A guard rushed in, his face filled with anxiety.

"Report...report! The formation seems to have been activated!" The guard rushed into the main hall, panting, his voice trembling slightly. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face, soaking his collar.

The people inside the hall, who had been sitting or standing and talking quietly, fell silent upon hearing this sudden report, and all turned their gazes toward the uninvited guest.

"What kind of formation?" someone asked with a puzzled look, their voice echoing in the silent hall.

The others also looked puzzled, whispering among themselves and trying to find the answer in each other's expressions.
