Double penetration, starting from being a trader

“These planets contain extremely vast stellar power. Very few cultivators can master this primal power. The person who made the move wasn’t the Blood-Handed Butcher, but they must have some connection with him,” Xie Qingci said from the side.

They all knew that the Blood Hand Butcher possessed the power of the Star Origin.

But neither Xie Qingci nor the other Heavenly Venerables believed that the person who made the move was the Blood-Handed Butcher.

Because back then, Bloodhand Butcher only had the strength of the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm.

How could the other party possess the combat power of a Celestial Venerable in such a short time?

Therefore, the Celestial Venerables all believed that the person who made the move must be the one behind Bloodhand Butcher.

"Whoever he is, let me test his skills first!"

A look of anticipation flashed in Li Shijian's eyes.

He had always longed to fight a Celestial Venerable-level expert from outside the realm, and now he finally had the opportunity.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in Li Shijian's hand.

He spotted one of the planets that was about to approach Tianhong Star and immediately slashed it with his sword!
This sword strike was unremarkable, without any fluctuation of energy.

The starry sky within a radius of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers seemed illusory at this moment.

An invisible sword aura slashed toward the planet at an extremely fast speed.

The distant planet seemed to sense the terrifying power of the sword strike, and immediately the starlight on its surface suddenly intensified!
The planet and the sword energy collided!

A terrifying energy wave spread out, annihilating space and laws wherever it passed!
Upon seeing this, the Celestial Venerable of the Cave Origin beside him quickly raised his hand and pressed forward.

That terrifying fluctuation was then reduced to a certain range.

Even so, because of this action, the Sky Realm was directly revealed in the starry sky.

The aftershocks of a Celestial Venerable-level expert's attack are enough to destroy a large area of ​​the starry sky, and even the Void Realm would have difficulty withstanding them.

Without restrictions, an entire star field could be completely destroyed in a war.

After the terrifying energy fluctuations disappeared, the planet that had flown in was no longer there, clearly destroyed by Li Shijian's sword.

However, the faces of the several celestial beings showed no relief, but rather solemnity.

Because the other planets were not affected at all; Li Shijian's sword only destroyed one of them.

Li Shijian's face also showed surprise:

"Such powerful stellar energy! Again!"

Li Shijian immediately drew his sword and flew towards other distant planets. Seeing this, the other Celestial Venerables did not hesitate and also joined in the attack.

There are too many planets for Li Shijian to handle alone.

The simultaneous attack of the six Celestial Venerables was truly terrifying. The starry sky within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was filled with terrifying world power, making it impossible for beings below the Dao Integration level to survive in this area.

If it weren't for the six Celestial Venerables using a portion of the world's power to protect Tianhong Star,

Tianhong Star had long since vanished in the aftermath.

Inside Tianhong Star, the cultivators near the high platform were all astonished by the battle taking place outside the starry sky.

Everyone originally thought that with the Heavenly Venerable's intervention, these flying planets would be easily dealt with.

But they never expected that the power of those planets would be so terrifying that it would take the combined efforts of six Celestial Venerables to withstand them.

The cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm all had solemn expressions on their faces at this moment.

If someone can force six Celestial Venerables to take action simultaneously, doesn't that mean that the person who took action must be among the top Celestial Venerables in terms of strength?
It's unbelievable that such a thing exists in the outer star system.

At that moment, everyone thought of the Immortal Corpse Puppet.

The attack occurred precisely when the Immortal Corpse Puppet was preparing to escape, clearly intended to cover its retreat.

Among the crowd, Meng Jingxian was also filled with shock as she looked at the scene in the starry sky.

"Master, can you discern the strength of the person who made this move?"

The aged voice said, "Very strong, probably not far from the level of a Great Celestial Venerable."

The Great Celestial Venerable is a realm among those who break through the Dao Realm.

Those who can be called Great Celestial Venerables must have mastered the world power of several hundred star domains, and have also comprehended at least one Great Dao.

These cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm can only be considered minor Celestial Venerables, because they possess very little world power.

"Who exactly is this person who made this move?" Meng Jingxian was filled with doubt at this moment.

When he first saw the Immortal Corpse Puppet, he thought it was the Blood Hand Butcher, since the power of the stars on its body was very strong. But now, the person fighting against the six Heavenly Venerables clearly has even stronger power of the stars.

But it's impossible to say that the person who fought against the Six Heavenly Venerables was the Blood-Handed Butcher, because if the other party was the Blood-Handed Butcher he encountered back then, how could he have been chased down by him?

The aged voice said, "I cannot sense the physical location of the person who made the move. He must have attacked from a distance. To fully sense him, I would probably have to transfer my power to you, but that would inevitably be noticed by the other Celestial Venerables."

In fact, the aged voice was also surprised by the strength of the person who made the move. The strength of a Great Celestial Venerable was among the top experts even in their star field.

It's astonishing that such a powerful figure exists in this star field, and one that has never appeared before.

Meng Jingxian then looked at Chen Feng, who was standing to the side:
"Master, are you sure that the Origin of Stars is one of the rarest origins in the universe?"

It's no wonder Meng Jingxian thought this way, firstly because the Blood Hand Butcher had mastered the origin of the stars.

Then there's the deputy sect leader of Xingfeng Sect, the mysterious being who's currently fighting the Heavenly Venerable and has also mastered the Origin of Stars, and finally, there's his junior brother Wang Ping.

When did the essence of stars become such a common commodity?

The aged voice said:

"The origin of stars is indeed one of the rarest origins in the universe. There are very few beings who can master this origin. In the history of the human race, there have only been a few, and they will perish when they reach a certain age due to the targeting of the universe's will."

"There must be some special reason why so many cultivators with the origin of stars have appeared in this star sea."

Meng Jingxian didn't listen to his master's explanation; he always felt that his master was lying to him.

On the other side, Chen Feng stood quietly in place without making a move.

However, his mind was already focused on the great battle with the several celestial beings.

Mobilizing planets to fight against the Celestial Venerable is already a huge challenge for Chen Feng at his current level.

Fortunately, he was located on Tianhong Star, not far away, so controlling him was not difficult.

At this moment, half of the planets he had summoned had already been destroyed by the six Celestial Venerables.

Obviously, it would be impossible to defeat the Celestial Venerable with just these planets, but Chen Feng also proved one thing.

Now his stellar power is comparable to the world power of the Celestial Venerable, and the difference between the two is not significant.

If he were to make a move in his true form, he felt he could put up a fight against the combined forces of these six Celestial Venerables.

Just then, Yun Qingjue walked over and said to Chen Feng:

"The Vice Sect Master wants you to come over."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng glanced in the direction of the Three Saints Sect in the distance, where several elders were gathered together.

Chen Feng didn't speak, and headed straight towards the Three Saints Sect. He had already guessed what the other party wanted to ask him.

Seeing Chen Feng approach, Wei Xian smiled:

"Wang Ping, you performed well in this competition of geniuses. You did not disgrace our Three Saints Sect. The Heavenly Venerable Haotian has praised you highly."

Chen Feng said, "Vice Elder, you flatter me." Wei Xuan didn't continue with the pleasantries and went straight to the point:
"The Xingfeng Sect was recruited by you. Do you know the identity of the person who fought against the Heavenly Venerable?"

Chen Feng shook his head: "Although I have persuaded Xingfeng Sect to surrender, I am not very clear about the internal affairs of Xingfeng Sect."

Hearing this, Wei Xian wasn't too surprised.

He called Chen Feng over just to ask a casual question.

If Xingfeng Sect truly possessed such a powerful figure, how could they possibly let outsiders know?

Wei Xian then asked Chen Feng a few more questions.

Chen Feng answered all of these questions one by one.

Seeing that he hadn't obtained any useful information, Wei Xian let Chen Feng leave.

After Chen Feng left, an elder said:
"It's likely that the Xingfeng Sect was deliberately recruited by Wang Ping, and there are probably some secrets behind this that we don't know about."

It's not surprising that the elder had this guess.

If the beings who fought against the Celestial Venerables were from the Xingfeng Sect, then there would be no reason for them to surrender to the Three Saints Sect.

Wei Xian nodded: "That's possible. This matter still needs to be investigated. For now, let's wait for Tianzun and the others to return."

Most of the people in the Xuanhuang Realm were shocked that there was a Heavenly Venerable-level expert outside the realm, while the cultivators outside the realm were filled with disbelief.

They actually have Celestial Venerable level experts in their outer star field?
But they never knew.

Inside the formation, Leng Shuangyan from the Jade Spirit Palace spoke:
"The person who made this move is definitely related to Xingfeng Sect. If we want to get out of this crisis, we may only be able to rely on Xingfeng Sect."

These words made the eyes of the cultivators from outside the realm light up.

Yes, if this being who fought against the six Celestial Venerables is related to the Xingfeng Sect, then could they ask the Xingfeng Sect to help resolve their current crisis?

"Seeking help from Xingfeng Sect? Let's not even discuss whether they are related to Xingfeng Sect or not. Even if they are, do you all think Xingfeng Sect would help us? Don't forget, when that vice sect leader of Xingfeng Sect was targeted just now, not a single person stood up to speak. Moreover, Xingfeng Sect has been targeted for years, and everyone here has been sitting on the sidelines. Do you think Xingfeng Sect would help us under these circumstances?"

The speaker was none other than Tantai You.

Upon hearing Tantai You's words, the faces of the others immediately darkened, especially those from Tianxuan Holy Land and Taiyi Sect, whose expressions turned extremely grim.

While others might still have a chance to receive help from Xingfeng Sect, it's practically impossible for these two forces.

Over the years, they have been using the Xuanhuang Realm to target the Xingfeng Sect.

The enmity between the two sides has reached an irreconcilable point.

Many cultivators from Tianxuan Holy Land and Taiyi Sect regretted their actions. If they had known earlier that Xingfeng Sect had a Heavenly Venerable-level expert behind it, they would never have treated Xingfeng Sect that way.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Just when everyone was feeling down, six beams of light fell from the sky.

The six celestial beings returned to the high platform.

The six of them looked rather grim. They had all expended a considerable amount of world power to destroy the incoming planets.

Xie Qingci's face was particularly pale; she had the lowest cultivation level among the six and suffered the greatest loss.

Dongyuan Tianzun said coldly:

Let's begin!

He didn't explain the matter outside the starry sky to anyone else. Right now, he just wanted to solve the problem of the Yuanling first, and then investigate the mysterious cultivator who made the move.

We finally managed to gather these Dao Integration cultivators from beyond the realms. If this plan is canceled, it won't be so easy next time.

Upon seeing that the Celestial Venerable Dongyuan still wanted the formation to continue operating, the cultivators outside the formation all looked grim.

But at this moment they were helpless. The people from Xingfeng Sect were no longer here, and even if they wanted to ask for help, they didn't know where to go.

Soon, the six Celestial Venerables arrived at different locations within the formation and began to infuse it with the power of the world.

At the same time, more than a dozen spirits were also sent into the formation.

After the power of the world was injected, the array flags and array patterns in the field shone brightly, and then a strange power emerged within the array.

Dongyuan Tianzun spoke coldly:
"Quickly activate the source blood!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators outside the formation did not immediately follow the instructions of the Cave Origin Celestial Venerable, since no one knew what would happen after the Origin Blood was forced out of the body.

Just then, Dongyuan Tianzun snorted coldly and pointed a finger directly at one of the Dao Integration cultivators.

The terrifying power of the world instantly slammed into the cultivator.

The cultivator's primordial spirit and physical body exploded directly, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators outside the realm dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly forced out their own source blood.

Drops of thick, black primordial blood flew out from between the brows of these cultivators.

As soon as these source bloods appeared, they were gathered together by a force, forming a blood clot.

“Fellow Daoist Li!” Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable looked at Li Shijian.

Without hesitation, Li Shijian quickly formed a hand seal, and the dozen or so primordial spirits seemed to be summoned by some force, immediately merging into the blood mass composed of primordial blood.

The moment the Yuanling entered the blood cluster, the black lines on the Yuanling were also coated with a layer of red.

The original black lines disappeared as they entered the space.

But at this moment, the black line extended into that space.

Everyone could clearly see the black lines in the space continuing to extend.

Everyone stared intently at the scene.

They all wanted to know what was at the end of these black lines, and who had attached them to these primordial spirits.

Soon, the scene in front of everyone changed.

The black lines seemed to have entered a deeper space, where there was only emptiness, and then they saw black runes.

These black runes twisted like snakes, forming a natural barrier.

The black line passed through the barrier and headed to a more distant place.

Just then, the previously calm barrier suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of conversation reached the ears of everyone present:

"What's going on? Why is the barrier acting strangely?"

"Could someone have escaped?"

"I don't know, quickly strengthen the barrier!"

"Report to the elders immediately! There's something unusual happening in the enclosure!"

The voices started out loud, but gradually grew quieter until they disappeared completely.

At the same time, the scene before everyone's eyes completely disappeared, and everything around them returned to normal.

At this moment, the arena fell into a deathly silence.

Only the blood mass within the formation continued to emit an eerie aura. (End of Chapter)
