Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The fragment of the Devouring Void Nest's will was stimulated like never before when Yu Changsheng unleashed the power of the Returning Void Dao Embryo, causing the Burial Star Sea's origin to form a massive vortex! It clearly sensed the power within Yu Changsheng's body that had fused with another fragment of its own, and it also sensed the nascent Returning Void Dao Embryo that had a fatal attraction to its origin!

The largest crack in the seal core was as if it had been violently torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands!
No longer a tentacle-like flow of energy!

One!
Two!

Three!

A gigantic, viscous, cold, and utterly emotionless eerie green pupil, burning with nothing but a pure desire to devour and destroy, suddenly burst forth from the bottomless crack! Each pupil was as large as a house, locking onto Yu Changsheng at the center of the vortex and Chen Xueqing in the pillar of light in the air!

Immediately afterwards, an indescribably massive, rotting giant claw, forcibly fused from decaying star metal, twisted sea beast bones, and the resentful limbs of countless struggling beings, with the terrifying power to crush stars, tore through the remaining sealing barrier and fiercely emerged!

The giant claw's target was crystal clear—Yu Changsheng!

His enormous, dark green eyes reflected the figure of Mo Yu in his arms and the alluring nascent form of his Dao embryo emanating from his dantian!
It was like slapping two eyesores!

The shadow of death, colder and heavier than the dark green sea, descended instantly! Space was frozen by the pressure of the giant claw, and time seemed to stand still. Yu Changsheng had just unleashed the raging tide of the Void, precisely in the delicate gap between the dissipation of old power and the emergence of new power! Although the nascent Dao Embryo was still operating, it had already consumed a great deal of energy guiding the vortex formed by the vast source of the Burial Star Sea, and was now violently fluctuating, its three-colored light flickering uncertainly, enduring a self-destructive pressure!

"Immortality—!!!" High in the sky, Chen Xueqing's spirit let out a heart-wrenching scream.

She was doing her best to maintain the core crystal's final suppression of the seal, while simultaneously diverting her attention to activate the emerald-gold pillar of light to protect the area around Yu Changsheng and purify the pollution emitted by the Devouring Void tentacles.

Seeing the destructive giant claw descending, she could no longer maintain the absolute composure of the "Source Pivot".

The unwavering determination to protect overwhelmed everything!
Without thinking, she pressed her hands down sharply in the direction of Yu Changsheng below!

"Return to the Ruins: Starry Sky Barrier!"

Om-!
The core crystal burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense brilliance!
A beam of emerald-gold light, far more solid and heavier than before, tore through space and instantly descended upon Yu Changsheng's head!

The pillar of light was no longer a gentle guiding force, but condensed into a huge rhomboid crystal wall flowing with countless illusory images of stars and mysterious forging runes!

At the core of the barrier was a projection of a wisp of Chen Xueqing's spiritual essence! She had actually used herself as the core node to forcibly construct this ultimate defense! The light of her spiritual body dimmed slightly in an instant, becoming even more illusory.

boom--!!!
The rotting giant claw slammed heavily onto the star barrier!

An indescribable roar! It was as if two worlds were colliding!
The terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring, and visible spatial ripples swept across thousands of miles in an instant!

The dark green vortex below was forcibly flattened and torn apart!
The nearby floating islands were silently reduced to dust!

Click-clack!
The incredibly tough star barrier emitted a despairing cracking sound! Countless spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly! The projection of Chen Xueqing's spirit body shook violently, and pale golden light spilled from the corner of her mouth—the dissipation of her spirit body's essence!
Barriers cannot stop them!

The power contained in that giant claw was terrifying!

That was the destructive will that the Devouring Mother Nest had accumulated over countless epochs, all for this moment!

The fact that the Starry Sky Barrier could hold them off for even a moment was a miracle, achieved by Chen Xueqing with all her might and by integrating the legacy of the forger!

The cracks in the barrier were widening, and the claws of destruction pierced through the light, casting shadows that had already covered the two figures on the reef.

Mo Yu's remaining faint sword intent completely subsided under this pressure, and the Dao patterns on Yu Changsheng's body flashed wildly, squeezing out streaks of blood, and his bones groaned from the unbearable burden.

"Lord! Now! While that monster is entangled!"

On the Sky Patrol, an elder from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau shouted urgently.

Situ Xuan's eyes instantly flashed with extreme greed and ruthlessness!

This was the fleeting opportunity he had been waiting for! With Yu Changsheng clashing head-on with the Devouring Void Mother Nest and Chen Xueqing preoccupied with defense, it was the perfect time to seize the core inheritance imprint!
"Boundary-Breaking Divine Light! Maximum Power! Target—Core Crystal!!" Situ Xuan's roar was piercingly sharp, like metal scraping against metal!

Buzz—! Buzz—! Buzz—!
The massive Sky Patrol ship trembled violently, all unnecessary spiritual energy circuits instantly dimmed, and a huge amount of energy, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, frantically poured into the huge rhombus-shaped crystal at the bow of the ship!

The crystal shone with extreme brightness, emitting a terrifying white light powerful enough to blind the primordial spirit!
A beam of blazing white divine light, ten times thicker and a hundred times more condensed than before, like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth, tore through the chaotic energy storm. Ignoring the distance of space, it shot fiercely toward the core of the isolated island, toward the place where Chen Xueqing's spirit body was located, toward that floating core inheritance crystal!

This attack was determined to succeed! And it was also extremely ruthless! Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, Chen Xueqing, who was in a defensive state with her spirit body connected to the crystal, would inevitably suffer a devastating blow!
"You old scoundrel Situ! How dare you?!"

Xuan Tian Venerable's hair and beard bristled, and his eyes were filled with fury that seemed about to burst forth!

He instantly understood Situ Xuan's sinister intentions! This was no longer about inheritance, but blatant murder and plunder!
He was about to unleash his sword technique on the divine light with all his might.

"Sword Master! Help me!" A hoarse yet resolute shout rang out like a thunderclap!
It's Yu Changsheng!

On the verge of death, with the Starry Sky Barrier about to completely collapse and the destructive giant claw crashing down from above, and at the desperate moment when Situ Xuan's backstab of the boundary-breaking divine light tore through the sky and attacked Chen Xueqing, he raised his head!

His eyes were no longer filled with fear or terror, but only with a cold abyss burning with chaos and annihilation! His gaze passed over the shadow of the giant claw that was about to hit him, and over the chaotic battlefield, and locked onto the chilling sword intent that flashed in the eyes of the Xuan Tian Venerable!
"Drawing back the evil spirits to the void—Ten Thousand Swords Paying Homage!"

With his last ounce of strength, Yu Changsheng let out his most frantic shout!

This cry is not a plea for help, but rather—a declaration of war and a call to action!

The nascent chaotic Dao embryo within his body, pulsating violently and nearing its limit, reacted instinctively under extreme pressure! The wisp of sharpness at its core, resonating with Mo Yu's annihilating sword intent, was instantly ignited!
The emerald-gold patterns flashed wildly, forcefully guiding the raging annihilation origin within the Dao Embryo, the void power transformed from the Devouring Void Fragments, and the baleful energy transformed from the recently devoured Myriad Poisons and Miasma, transforming them into a viscous, chaotic, yet incomparably sharp energy torrent. Following his will, like the Styx River bursting its banks, it suddenly slammed into the boundary-breaking divine light that was about to strike the Starry Sky Barrier!

This is not an attack, but rather—a sacrifice and guidance!

He used his own Dao Embryo as a medium, the desolate origin of the Burial Star Sea as fuel, and the evil energy transformed from the myriad poisons and miasma as a fuse to ignite the wisp of annihilation sword intent that originated from Mo Yu and resonated with the Xuan Tian Venerable!

Then, forcefully "crash" this destructive torrent that burns everything into Situ Xuan's Boundary-Breaking Divine Light! The goal is not to intercept it, but to—forcibly guide it together towards the rotting giant claw of the Devouring Sky Mother Nest that is tearing through the sky and crashing down!
boom--!!!!

A collision so devastating it defies description!

The viscous chaotic torrent guided by Yu Changsheng crashed hard into the side of the massive, boundary-breaking divine light!
The blazing white divine light was violently struck by this force with its frenzied tearing and annihilation properties, causing its trajectory to deflect dramatically in an instant!

Instead of shooting towards the core crystal, it was as if manipulated by an invisible giant hand, drawing a blinding, pale arc before crashing heavily into the base of the rotting giant claw of the Devouring Mother Nest!

At the very instant the collision occurred, Venerable Xuantian's sword moved!

Yu Changsheng's cry of "Help me!" and the resonance of the ignited sword intent were like a beacon ignited in the darkness!

Without the slightest hesitation in Xuan Tian Zun Zhe's eyes, his boundless sword intent instantly surged to its peak!

"Sword Buries the Galaxy - Sever!"

He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed down at the spot on the giant claw's wrist that had been violently struck by the divine light that had broken the boundary!

There was no dazzling sword light, only an extreme "line" that seemed capable of slicing through the membranes of the universe!
That was a sword intent of "severance" that was pure to the extreme!

It transcended speed and space, arriving first despite starting later! It landed with unparalleled precision on the point of impact of the boundary-breaking divine light!

Snap! Snap!
A crisp, soul-chilling cracking sound echoed throughout the Sea of ​​Burial Stars!
Under the impact of the raging energy of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Light, and under the cutting of the Xuan Tian Venerable's "Severing" sword intent that cuts off all things, the rotten giant claw of the Devouring Void Mother Nest, which contained the power to destroy the world, was actually severed from its wrist!

The massive claw, having lost its source of power, crashed down like a collapsing mountain, casting a suffocating shadow and carrying with it shattered star fragments and rotting flesh, towards the boundless, dark green Dead Sea below!

Boom! ...
The giant claw slammed into the Dead Sea, stirring up towering waves. The dark green seawater churned and roared as if boiling, and could not be calmed for a long time.

"Roar! Ro ...

From the depths of the rift at the heart of the isolated island came a howl far more painful, more furious, and filled with endless resentment than before! The few gigantic, eerie green pupils that had been squeezed out instantly became bloodshot and spun wildly!

Thick, asphalt-like, eerie green energy spurted from the severed wrist, like a foul-smelling waterfall!

The Devouring Nest is damaged!
Situ Xuan was stunned, and the blazing white light of the Sky Patrol instantly dimmed.

His meticulously planned and determined backstabbing not only failed to achieve its goal, but also made him an "accomplice" in severing the clutches of the mother nest!
The immense sense of frustration and the anger of being used made his face turn ashen, and he almost vomited blood.

Li Wujiu looked at the falling giant claw and the frantically roaring mother nest, his eyes flashing with extreme fear. Without hesitation, the withered bone flying boat turned around and transformed into a pale green streak of light, fleeing in panic towards the densest part of the death fog on the outer edge of the Burial Star Sea!

This place has become a true death trap!
Venerable Xuantian slowly withdrew his sword finger, his face slightly pale. Clearly, the "Sever" technique, which exceeded his limits, had greatly depleted his energy.

He looked at the battered figure on the reef below with a complex expression, a mixture of shock, scrutiny, and an indescribable admiration.

Yu Changsheng held Mo Yu, kneeling on the cold reef. His act of forcibly guiding the two destructive energy torrents to collide was like another heavy blow to his already collapsing Dao Embryo.

Dark purple blood seeped from his seven orifices, his body trembled violently uncontrollably, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain, as if his entire body would completely disintegrate like sand in the next second.

But he did not fall!

"Hmph! A stubborn resistance!"

Situ Xuan stood at the bow of the Sky Patrol, his face a mask of greed and savagery. He cared nothing for Yu Changsheng's life or death; his eyes were fixed only on the Star Forger's Mark, which was about to be shattered by the divine light and was within his grasp!
He raised his finger again, about to order the Sky Patrol to deliver a second blow and completely pierce through the obstructing thorny barrier.

"Lord Situ, wait!"

A cold and authoritative shout rang out.

Venerable Xuantian stood in the void, with the Xuantian Sword Formation flowing menacingly behind him, its sword intent as deep as the abyss.

He did not attack Situ Xuan, but his deep eyes looked past the dying Yu Changsheng and the crumbling core barrier, locking onto the huge shadow that re-emerged from the seal crack—the only remaining, house-sized, third eerie green eye of the Devouring Mother Nest!
The giant eye, having just suffered a severe blow from Xuan Tian Venerable's "Sword Burial Star River Severance," was now filled with resentment and greed, staring intently at the Dao embryonic form within Yu Changsheng's body, which was cracked but still exuded a pure aura of annihilation.

Thick, murky dark energy gathered and swirled deep within the giant eye, forming a terrifying vortex that devoured light. A suction force far exceeding anything before suddenly erupted! The target was none other than Yu Changsheng!

"This beast is ferocious and poses an even greater threat! Let's postpone the inheritance and work together to subdue it!"

The Venerable Xuantian's voice was resolute, and he raised his ancient longsword, his sword intent as brilliant as a galaxy beginning to condense, his target being the giant eye of the Devouring Sky Mother Nest.

He appeared righteous and awe-inspiring, yet he completely exposed Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing to Situ Xuan's cannon fire and the devouring power of the Mother Nest.

A fierce glint flashed in Situ Xuan's eyes, and he instantly understood the scheme of Venerable Xuantian.

By using the power of the Devouring Mother Nest, we can completely eliminate the two obstacles, Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing, while severely damaging the Mother Nest. Finally, the two major forces will divide up the island's heritage and resources!

"Good! Let's eliminate this calamity first!" He grinned maliciously, and the Sky Patrol's cannons turned around, and the destructive light gathered again, this time, it was aimed at the giant eye of the Devouring Sky Mother Nest!
The combined power of the two giants may seem overwhelming, but in reality, they each have their own ulterior motives, treating the last remaining chance of life on the isolated island as a pawn in their game.

The Xuan Tian Venerable's dazzling, star-like sword intent transformed into a streak that traversed space, while Situ Xuan's secondary cannon unleashed several streams of energy, slightly less powerful than the Divine Light of Breaking Boundaries but equally deadly, simultaneously blasting towards the eerie green giant eye.

The Devouring Nest sensed an unprecedented threat!
The vortex in the giant eye spun wildly, unleashing a piercing, soul-wrenching scream!

The terrifying suction force suddenly increased a hundredfold, no longer targeting Yu Changsheng alone, but enveloping the entire reef area!
It attempts to drag all these attacks, along with that tempting "food," into its eternal dark abyss!
The first to be affected was Mo Yu, who lay on the rock behind Yu Changsheng, barely clinging to life! (End of Chapter)
