The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 183 Full Strength
The stars are nearby, seemingly within reach.

But it's still a long way off.

At one moment, an inconspicuous star in the south twinkled and shone brightly!
"How touching, it's such a difficult choice. But how can you be so sure that you've already escaped?" The voice rang out, coming from all directions, seemingly omnipresent yet also elusive.

As the energy converged, the tall and imposing figure of Taurus Star Lord suddenly appeared.

"brush!"

The blade flashed brilliantly. Before anyone knew it, Ding Lin had transformed back into human form. At the same instant that Taurus Star Lord's figure appeared, he swung his blade out.

"The same old trick!"

As the blade flashed towards him, Taurus Star Lord neither blocked nor parried. His body was then struck, and a sliver of starlight shattered and exploded, revealing nothing more than a phantom.

But the Taurus Star Lord's appearance was an illusion, and Ding Lin's attack was no less a feint. With a flash of light, the blade disappeared into the light and shadow, circled around, and then slashed at a certain spot.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The figure of Taurus Star Lord emerged from that blank space.

"Such keen perception." The possessed bull demon had a new scar on his right arm, but the Golden Bull Star Lord didn't care at all. "You have the body of a dragon, and your magic power is also a bit strange. However, this starry sky is my home ground. Although you have great supernatural powers, you are still just a mortal. You have not reached this realm, so how could you understand my immortal methods? I am already tired of it. If I really let you send your two granddaughters back to heaven, it will cause a lot of trouble. Fine, I will kill you in the guise of an immortal."

Ding Lin's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, a great sense of danger rose in his heart. However, he only maintained a confrontational posture and did not follow up with a series of attacks with the blade as he had done last time. He clenched one hand tightly.

"My grandson is also unlucky. He has no affinity for immortality in this life. I originally planned to use my divine soul to imbue him with the essence of immortality, sacrificing this body so that his primordial spirit could gain a trace of immortal energy to prepare for the next life, but I never expected..."

"I originally intended to take this opportunity to help him achieve immortality as well, but in the end, my own affairs are more important. Sure enough... my grandson is unlucky..."

"Disperse!"

"The Taurus Star Lord shouted."

Pain suddenly appeared on that tattered face.

"Ancestor, didn't we agree before that I would only descend using my physical body? How come now, my true spirit has been invaded? If my true spirit is destroyed, I will have no next life..."

"Ah... I'll make sure you suffer even if it kills me!"

Words, spoken from only half of the cow's lips, came out in extreme terror.

A surge of energy emanated from his tall and imposing body.

Ding Lin still didn't make a move. He felt the danger growing stronger, his pupils contracted to the extreme, and his hand clenched even tighter.

Suddenly, the bull demon's tattered body relaxed, as if its riddled body could no longer bear the weight.

The feeling of danger quickly subsided.

But only for a moment, and then the aura began to gather again, climbing all the way up, quickly returning to the primordial spirit, and still going upwards.

"You won't let me have an easy time? When did you get such a misconception? Whether it's the cultivation method you practice or the resources you need, I take care of everything. I am the source of your bloodline. Even your growth trajectory, every move you make, when to cultivate diligently, when to undergo trials, when to break through realms—all of these are arranged by me. From birth, you have been an extension of me. Except for this final terror between life and death, there is nothing in this body that belongs to you. You want to resist me? By what right? And how could you possibly?"

Taurus Star Lord's sneer rang out. With the sound, more starlight shone upon the body. On the originally dilapidated flesh, tiny buds twisted and grew rapidly, instantly repairing all the wounds. But it didn't end there. In the starlight, the body began to be refined, its form becoming increasingly fluid, slowly giving it a sense of perfection. Its aura also grew stronger, rapidly breaking through to the primordial spirit realm, faintly about to reach that level.

"You've remained silent until now, so you should be ready by now. Let me see just how strong your trump cards are, and how this avatar of yours is stronger. I hope you won't disappoint me," said Taurus Star Lord.

"as you wish."

Two purple glints suddenly flashed in Ding Lin's usually calm eyes, and he abruptly raised his hand.

"what!"

Taurus Star Lord laughed loudly. The moment Ding Lin raised his hand, his whole body trembled, and tiny starlight fell from his shoulders like fireflies. His aura also broke through the limit and finally reached the realm of immortals.

An immense pressure was overwhelming.

Ding Lin chose this moment to make his move. Having just broken through, even with the suppression of the Golden Bull Star Lord's original realm, his mind would inevitably waver. This was the moment when he had just reached his peak strength, but also the moment when he was at his weakest. Even if the Golden Bull Star Lord had anticipated this, he could not avoid it.

A streak of purple light swept straight toward Taurus Star Lord, its aura immense.

A hint of mockery flashed across the cow's face.

Ding Lin's demonic aura swept past like a dream, without any resistance, and the body in front of him was quickly torn apart, like a shattered mirror. A corner of the mirror flew up, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery left on the corner of the mouth.

It turned out to be an illusion as well; the attack missed.

At the same time, behind Ding Lin, another aura rapidly solidified, like the rising sun, radiating vitality.

Ding Lin suddenly turned his head.

"you!"

Dan Jinniu Xingjun, however, opened his eyes wide, showing no trace of smugness after his success. His eyes were devoid of any mockery, filled only with vigilance. While the aura alone couldn't detect the attack, once it landed, the power of Ding Lin's attack could no longer be concealed. It merely appeared powerful; in reality, it was only at the level of a normal primordial spirit.

"It will not let you down."

Ding Lin said softly. At the same time, the attack that had been building up for so long burst forth. He opened his palm, and the lightning talisman seemed to be embedded in his palm. Five bolts of lightning rose up, intertwining and entwining like vines, emitting a chilling aura.

The Thunder Lord was destroyed.

Five bolts of lightning converged, which was Ding Lin's full strength. With the situation at this point, he had no choice but to fight desperately. At the moment the purple lightning converged, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as thin as paper in an instant.

Before harming others, one has already harmed oneself.

Taurus Star Lord's expression was cold and stern, his face showing an unprecedented solemnity. What kind of treasure was that talisman? It felt to him that it was almost comparable to a full-force attack from his true form.

"Edict!"

Ding Lin shouted, and five bolts of lightning shot out. In the instant they were released, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, as if his bones had been removed. He was clearly exhausted and could not even maintain his posture.

Purple lightning descends!
