Chapter 459 Lord of the Stars

With the loss of the instant blessing and near-infinite regenerative power of the Blood Sea World's origin, this emperor-level being's greatest advantage of being "invincible on home turf" and "outlasting powerful enemies" vanished instantly!

"No-!!!"

The Blood Kun let out a roar that was more mournful and terrified than ever before.

In this roar, there was no longer a trace of arrogance or bloodlust, only boundless panic, incomprehension, and deep-seated fear!

"Cause and effect? ​​You—you actually severed cause and effect!"

"You severed my fundamental connection with the Sea of ​​Blood!"

His blood-red giant eyes were fixed on the Night Emperor Sword Embryo in Li Xijun's hand, which still flowed with a faint gray halo, and the phantom of the Fengdu Emperor behind him, which exuded the aura of reincarnation and judgment. His huge pupils were filled with unbelievable horror.

"This is impossible! This is—this is the power of the law of cause and effect, a forbidden realm that only late-stage Martial Saints, beings touching upon higher dimensions of the universe, can even begin to explore! How could you possibly master it?"

Xue Kun's understanding completely collapsed.

He has lived for countless years, devoured the knowledge of countless living beings and civilizations, and knows the weight and terror of the word "cause and effect".

That is one of the most fundamental laws of the universe, involving the fundamental workings of destiny, connection, karma, and fate.

Ordinary martial saints, even those in the later stages of their cultivation, find it difficult to reach or perceive.

And someone like Li Xijun, who precisely severed the causal link between this Martial Saint-level being and a mid-level mythological world with a single sword strike—

This is simply an unheard-of supernatural power!

What terrifying level of causal expertise would this require?

What precise control over the laws?

What an immeasurable level of support!

In an instant, Xue Kun understood.

The opponent before me is not some nouveau riche who "made a lucky breakthrough" or "stole someone else's legacy".

He is a monster who has truly embarked on the path to the highest realm and has the potential to become a true immortal!

An anomaly who, at the mid-stage of Martial Saint, mastered the immense power of cause and effect that even ordinary True Immortals might not be proficient in!

The panic of losing its greatest reliance and the fear of facing an unknown and powerful force were like two venomous snakes, relentlessly gnawing at the soul of the Blood Kun.

His massive body began to tremble uncontrollably, instinctively wanting to retreat and sink back into the depths of the sea of ​​blood, even though that sea of ​​blood no longer offered him the protection and power he longed for.

Something long forgotten, known as the "shadow of death," loomed over the scene with such clarity.

At this very moment, the other five emperor-level beings who witnessed the entire process through the "Blood Abyss Mirror Realm" reacted even more violently and with even greater horror than Xue Kun!

"Severing cause and effect?!"

The golden phantom of the god-king Otto burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, but that light was filled with doubt, uncertainty, deep apprehension, and even—a trace of fear!

His voice, devoid of its usual majesty and composure, trembled with disbelief: "He—he actually touched and mastered the power of cause and effect? ​​And wielded it so—so effortlessly, so precisely and fatally!"

As one of the most senior and knowledgeable beings present, God-King Otto understood better than anyone what the "Law of Cause and Effect" represented in this star field.

That was one of the iconic powers that the Cyclops King, that old monster, relied on to dominate the planetary seas and strike fear into the hearts of countless civilizations!

It was precisely because he grasped some of the subtleties of cause and effect that the Cyclops King was able to repeatedly foresee opportunities at crucial moments, avoid fatal risks, and even carry out some incredible plans and attacks.

It can be said that the power of cause and effect is a crucial pillar that allows the Cyclops King to firmly sit on the throne of "strongest in the star field"!

And now, Li Xijun, this newly crowned saint of the human race who has only cultivated for a little over ten years, has actually displayed this level of power?!

"Could it be—could it be that he really obtained the ancient inheritance of some true immortal?"

Otto, the God-King, was filled with a rapid thought process, and his gaze toward Li Xijun was filled with unprecedented solemnity and vigilance.

The azure phantom of Poseidon fluctuated violently, almost losing its form, and the phantom of the trident in his hand completely dissipated.

"Cause and effect—severing the fundamental connection—"

He repeated it in a low voice, his voice tinged with lingering fear and dread.

Solaken of the Spirit Crystal Clan, his faceted light flashing wildly, emanating chaotic and sharp psionic energy fluctuations: "—Highest Priority Threat Confirmed—Causal Intervention Ability—Disruptive Tactical Variable—"

The three lords of the Crimson Abyss were in an uproar.

The Gluttonous King, Groom, roared madly, "Causality! It's the smell of that old one-eyed monster's power!"

"No—it's different again—more—more powerful—it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good at all! Let's go, get away from him!"

Its greed was overwhelmed by pure fear.

The shadow of the Lord of Deceit, Sithon, shrank into a ball and let out a terrified scream.

The flames in Baal's eyes flickered uncertainly; his destructive fighting spirit had long been frozen, replaced by deep vigilance and a sense of powerlessness.

With a single sword strike, Li Xijun not only severed Xue Kun's reliance, but also shattered the wishful thinking and arrogance in the hearts of all the emperor-level beings present, deeply imprinting a dark cloud called "absolute power gap" into the depths of their souls.

He slowly sheathed his sword, the Night Emperor Sword Embryo pointing diagonally at the Blood Kun below, which was trembling slightly due to fear and weakness. The hazy, causal sword intent still flowed faintly through the sword.

"Now," Li Xijun's voice was calm and even, yet carried a chilling finality, "it's time to settle our scores."

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful aura of the "Great Luo Primordial Primordial Dharma Body" in the middle stage of the Dharma Body stage around him was unleashed without reservation. Like a sleeping ancient ferocious beast that had been completely awakened, it pressed down on the Blood Kun, which had lost its greatest barrier, like an overwhelming force!

This incredibly powerful aura completely ignited the most primal madness and will to survive deep within the Blood Kun's soul.

"Trying to kill me... isn't that easy!"

The Blood Kun let out a hysterical roar. Its massive body no longer tried to retreat. Instead, it struggled violently, unleashing the power of the Blood Sea World's spine and the Blood Sea Laws and Evolution Laws it had cultivated for thousands of years without reservation!

The mountain-like body suddenly burst forth with billions of blood-red rays of light that pierced through the blind. Each ray contained the ultimate will of destruction and plunder, forcibly tearing apart and stirring up the space around it that had been silent due to the power of "Original Darkness"!

"roar--!!!"

A roar that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era, carrying the power of the early peak of the Blood Kun Martial Saint, transformed into a terrifying shockwave with a diameter of over a million miles, composed of pure blood energy, the rules of destruction, and the rules of evolution. It erupted violently towards Li Xijun's location at the speed of light!

This is the Blood Kun's desperate attack!

It was the strongest power he unleashed in a desperate situation, as a peak early-stage Martial Saint who controlled the laws of a world!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the already fragile Blood Sea World barrier, pierced by Li Xijun's "Original Darkness," crumbled completely like paper!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The indescribable roar did not travel through the air, but reverberated directly at the level of the universe's rules!

The massive outline of the Blood Kun Mythical World, resembling a dark red nebula, exploded in the cosmic sea with a huge gap nearly ten million kilometers in diameter under the combined effect of this attack and Li Xijun's previous boundary-breaking power!

The raging torrent of crimson energy, the shattered fragments of the world, and the destructive shockwave containing the sea of ​​blood and the laws of evolution, like a ferocious beast breaking free from its cage, poured recklessly into the cold vacuum of the universe!

Beyond the gap lies a relatively "empty" star field, the closest to the Blood Kun Myth World.

This area was originally dotted with a sparse asteroid belt, a few lifeless, barren rocky planets, and a seven-star extraterrestrial research and observation station belonging to the Human Federation, built on a satellite of a gas giant planet.

The next moment, annihilation struck!

The aftershocks of the crimson shockwave, like an invisible scythe of death, swept across this star field at the speed of light!

The sparse asteroid belt, with its hundreds of millions of rocks of all sizes, vaporized and annihilated silently the moment it came into contact with the crimson aftershocks, leaving not a trace of dust behind, as if it had never existed.

Those barren planets suddenly shone with a blinding blood-red light. The entire planetary structure collapsed and melted under the irresistible erosion of laws and the impact of energy, turning into clusters of boiling, ominous dark red magma clouds. Then, in the vacuum of space, they rapidly cooled and solidified into twisted and bizarre giant rock remnants.

And that human forward observation post—

Inside the observatory, alarms had already blared through the sky, and the energy shield overloaded and shattered the instant it came into contact with the aftershocks. The hundreds of researchers and stationed warriors inside didn't even have time to utter a final cry of alarm before, in the despair of the monitoring screen being suddenly engulfed by boundless crimson, they, along with the entire alloy-forged base, were reduced to fundamental particles of the universe.

And this was merely the edge of the aftershock of that earth-shattering shockwave!

Its core power is aimed directly at Li Xijun!

The power of this strike was so terrifying that the energy and rule fluctuations it caused were like a supernova being thrown into the calm depths of the universe!

Centered on the point of explosion, invisible ripples spread outwards in all directions of the universe at faster-than-light speed!

At this moment, all the emperor-level and martial saint-level beings in the entire star field couldn't help but cast tense glances.

For countless ordinary beings and low-level martial artists living in nearby star systems or even more distant planets, they may only be able to see, through observation equipment, that the star field suddenly erupts with an incomprehensible, terrifying radiance of blood-red and dark intertwined light that is thousands of times more dazzling and bizarre than a supernova explosion, as well as a silent tremor that seems to tear the soul apart.

However, for those high-ranking Federation warriors who were stationed in various Seven Star extraterrestrial bases and whose cultivation had reached the Great Vajra realm of the seventh level or above, their perception was much clearer.

Inside the command center of a Seven Star Base built on a wandering planet.

A federal senator, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable and who had already reached the eighth level of the Great Vajra Realm, suddenly stood up from his command chair and stared in horror at the blood-red and dark energy cloud that was violently churning and expanding outside the observation window.

The energy detectors around him had already exceeded their limits, and piercing alarms were going off one after another.

"This—this is—a collision of energy at the Martial Saint level? How could it be so violent!"

His voice trembled with disbelief, "That direction—is the Blood Kun Mythical World! Who—who is fighting the Blood Kun?!"

Beside him, several adjutants who had also reached the Great Vajra realm were deathly pale, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

One of the experts, skilled in energy analysis, stared at the frantically fluctuating data stream on the screen, representing a clash of laws, and said in a hoarse voice, "The energy level—far exceeds the threshold of a typical early-stage Martial Saint—or even a mid-stage Martial Saint—and there's a characteristic of this energy—that seems familiar—"

"It's—it's Yuan Sheng! It's Lord Li Xijun!" another intelligence officer exclaimed. "Seven years ago, when he broke through, there were similar records in the database of residual energy characteristics, only—now he's hundreds or thousands of times stronger!"

It's only been a few years?!

The genius who needed their secret attention and protection back then has now grown to the point where he can fight against a fearsome emperor-level being like the Blood Kun.

This is beyond what "genius" can describe; it's a living myth, a walking legend!

In the void of space, the core of the crimson shockwave was already upon them.

Faced with this desperate attack that could instantly evaporate stars and severely injure a martial saint of the same level, Li Xijun's expression remained as calm as a deep well.

He didn't even make any defensive or evasive gestures.

He simply raised the Night Emperor Sword Embryo in his hand.

It wasn't pointing to the oncoming torrent of blood, but rather to the boundless, cold, and dazzling cosmic sky above.

"The Celestial Spheres —"

He recited softly, each word seemingly resonating with some ancient rhythm deep within the universe.

"—Listen to my command."

"Buzz—!!!"

A silent vibration resounded from every corner of the universe!

It was not a sound, but a response to the laws! The adoration of the stars!

Centered on Li Xijun's location, a vast and imaginative panorama unfolds against the backdrop of a cold universe.

Stars in countless light-years away, or even more distant galaxies, regardless of size, age, or state, had their core light and heat slightly stirred at this moment by a supreme will!

Countless starlight rays, traversing distances measured in light-years and the barriers of space and time, converged across the void under the guidance of some mysterious and unpredictable law!

It is not just light, but the stellar power containing the very essence of stars!

It is the fundamental law that forms the universe and evolves all things!

These stellar energies from all corners of the universe intertwined, converged, and compressed before Li Xijun—

Ultimately, it transformed into a dazzling galaxy that stretches across the starry sky, with no beginning and no end, formed from boundless starlight and the laws of the stars!

This galaxy is not an illusion, but a real and undeniable cosmic spectacle temporarily manifested by the power of billions of stars and the laws of the universe!

It flowed silently in front of Li Xijun, radiating a vast power that purified and dominated everything, and carried the eternal meaning of a cold universe.

Li Xijun, surrounded by stars in the center, had her clothes fluttering and her eyes swirling like a sea of ​​stars.

He seemed no longer to be a mere "human" or "saint," but rather to have transformed into the ruler of the stars in this vast universe, a king revered by billions of stars in this boundless cosmos!

Endless stellar power surged from the Milky Way, empowering him and making his aura as unfathomable and boundless as the universe itself!

"The Milky Way pours down."

Li Xijun slightly turned his wrist, and gently guided the Night Emperor Sword Embryo.

The dazzling Milky Way stretching across the sky before him seemed to tremble slightly, as if it had received the most casual decree from the king.

The next moment, "whoosh!"

Like the first tide at the beginning of the universe.

The galaxy, composed of boundless starlight, transformed into a pure and vast waterfall of starlight, rushing head-on towards the roaring, blood-red shockwave of destruction!

There was no explosion.

There was no loud noise.

Only the most extreme purification and annihilation.

The violent crimson shockwave, imbued with the Blood Kun's own laws, reacted the instant it touched the Starlight Waterfall, like snow meeting the blazing sun, or filth encountering a clear spring.

That destructive blood energy was purified by the purest and most yang stellar power;

Those predatory fragments of evolution were assimilated by the grand and stable laws of the stars;

That devouring will appeared so insignificant and laughable in the face of the boundless starlight of the universe itself, and was easily submerged.

The blood color faded and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Starlight Waterfall surged forward with unstoppable force, flowing upstream and following the trajectory of the crimson shockwave. Its target was the Blood Kun itself, which was slightly weakened by the full force of its attack and whose eyes had just shown a hint of despair and confusion.

"No!!!"

The Blood Kun let out a desperate howl, frantically urging its remaining power to set up thick layers of blood crystal barriers in front of it in an attempt to block the flow of energy.

However, "Pfft!"

A sound as faint as tearing silk.

As the starlight waterfall swept over, the blood crystal barrier, which was strong enough to withstand the full force of an early-stage Martial Saint, was easily pierced as if it were made of paper!

The waterfall of light continued its relentless force, crashing fiercely against the Blood Kun's body, which was even larger than a planet!

"Sizzle—!!!"

A terrifying sword mark, tens of thousands of miles long, deep enough to see bone, with edges flowing with melted golden holy blood and charred marks, instantly appeared on the body of the Blood Kun.

Countless streams of "holy blood," containing the essence of life and the origin of laws, surged out like a fountain, only to be evaporated and purified the moment they came into contact with the starlight waterfall!

The unimaginable pain and the weakness caused by the severe damage to its core overwhelmed Xue Kun's consciousness like a tidal wave.

If he didn't simultaneously wield the two laws of "evolution" and "blood sea," both possessing immense vitality and regenerative power, his physical structure would have long since evolved to a near-energy-based, immortal level.

This one sword strike was enough to cut him in half at the waist!

Even so, Xue Kun's aura plummeted instantly, dropping from the peak of the early stage of Martial Saint to the level of an ordinary novice Martial Saint, and even becoming somewhat unstable!

His huge, blood-red eyes were filled with extreme pain, horror, and a near-collapse of incomprehension!

"Why—why?!"

Blood Kun's divine sense was twisted by pain and fear. "You severed my world's blessing—why—why can you mobilize the power of the entire universe's stars?!"

"This—this is hundreds of times more powerful than the blessing from the Blood Sea World... This is simply unfair!!"

His mental defenses completely crumbled.

They thought losing their home advantage would be the start of a fair match, but they never expected their opponent to pull out an even more terrifying and shameless "super home field"—the entire universe of stars!

At this moment, Li Xijun was surrounded by boundless starlight, as if he were the embodiment of this sea of ​​stars and the agent of the will of the stars.

This level of power and the extent of its enhancement have completely exceeded Xue Kun's comprehension!

How can we fight like this?

This is simply a case of dimensional reduction attack!

Holding the Night Emperor Sword Embryo, Li Xijun strolled across the dazzling starry river, like a god under the starry sky, looking down at the Blood Kun below, whose aura was weak, covered in wounds, and whose eyes were filled with only fear and despair.

"fair?"

He shook his head slightly, his voice coming through the starlight, calm and indifferent.

"You should have known this would happen from the moment you attacked me."

"Now, it's time to end this."
