Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

If I could only read one novel about infinite universes in my lifetime, it would probably be "Swallowing the Stars: Starting with an Enlightenment System".

Outside the Heavenly Fiend Palace, a figure stood in mid-air, releasing his Domain Lord-level aura without reservation, causing the crowd below to stop and look up.

"I have already arrived, so why are you hiding inside the palace, afraid to show yourselves?" Xuanming's deep voice carried far and wide.

Before the words were finished, three figures flew out from the depths of the palace.

The person in the lead looked exactly like Xuanming, causing an uproar among the onlookers.

"How can there be two Lord Xuanming? Are they twin brothers?"

"What twins? One of them is clearly fake!"

"What is that black mist over there?"

Xuanming gazed at the figure before him that was identical to himself and chuckled, "Though phantom beasts can transform into countless forms, they are ultimately just imitations. Krolus, do you really intend to fight me while looking like me?"

Krolus snorted coldly, and his figure swayed, revealing his true form.

It was a small, adorable animal with pure white fur.

Although mythical beasts possess the talent to transform into all things, their combat strength and talent are not outstanding.

Even with the Heavenly Fiend Realm Lord's full support, it still failed to break through the bottleneck of the ninth level of Domain Lord.

Xuanming turned his gaze to Tianmu, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness:

"Brother Tianmu, your teacher has warned you more than once that there are many geniuses on the path of cultivation. There is no need to be jealous or angry. Just walk your own path well."

"I have been sealed away for ten thousand years, and even today, you still cannot overcome this obstacle in your heart."

Tian Mu's face was ashen, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he remained silent.

He understood the reasoning, but his obsession was too strong, and he couldn't get over it.

Finally, Xuanming's gaze fell on the churning black mist, and his voice instantly turned cold:

"You were the one who ambushed me with a soul attack back then, weren't you? That sealing formation must have been your doing too. What grudge do I hold against you?"

A low, hoarse laugh came from within the black mist:

"Indeed, it is I. Lord Xuanming is indeed worthy of his reputation. He was able to withstand my soul technique back then, forcing me to change my plans and seal you away."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Xuanming's figure appeared behind him as if by teleportation.

A blood-red spear appeared in his hand at some point, its tip gleaming with a dark red light, as if it were brimming with overwhelming killing intent.

"Annihilation Light!"

This shot did not unleash any earth-shattering power; instead, it seemed to devour all the surrounding light, leaving only a very thin, dark, blood-red crack.

That was the mark of destruction born after the ninefold light domain was compressed to the extreme and completely merged with a trace of the law of light.

Space was torn apart silently, and wherever the crack passed, all colors faded, and everything was annihilated by this single shot.

Before the spear's edge even arrived, the destructive intent that locked onto the body had already caused the black mist to churn violently!

"A ninth-level Domain Lord! He's gotten so much stronger!"

The man in the black mist panicked.

Over the years, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he is confident that he can kill Xuanming.

Unexpectedly, even though the opponent was trapped in Redstone Mountain, they still managed to break through!

Not only has his realm level improved by one level, but his marksmanship, domain application, and even the laws of light have also made considerable progress.

puff!

The figure of the black mist figure suddenly disappeared, then rapidly condensed in another place, although the mist around it was noticeably thinner.

"Hiss! Just one move and I'm severely injured. Two more, and I'll be dead for sure! I'll fight to the death!"

In an instant, the man in black mist made a sudden attack.

An invisible soul shock suddenly slammed into Xuanming's sea of ​​consciousness.

Xuanming's eyes dimmed slightly before regaining their clarity.

"A decent soul attack. Ten thousand years ago, it could have seriously injured me. Unfortunately, in the past ten thousand years, I have not only improved my realm, but also my will and soul defense methods."

The ten-thousand-year seal actually kept him away from the many mundane affairs of the Heavenly Fiend Star, allowing him to focus entirely on cultivation.

As a warrior wielding a giant axe, how could he not have a means to defend against soul attacks?

It was a sudden sneak attack; we were caught completely off guard.

Seeing that Xuanming was unharmed, the man in black mist panicked completely and hurriedly shouted at the other two:

"What are you all standing there for? Let's attack him together!"

However, just when he thought that Tianmu and Krolu were about to lend a helping hand, the two, one human and one demon, seemed not to hear him and showed no intention of making a move.

Just as Xuanming understood them, they also understood Xuanming.

Xuanming's attitude shows that he has no intention of attacking them, but the black mist man is doomed to die today.

The alliance between the three was already fragile, so naturally no one was willing to risk their lives for him at this moment.

Moreover, even if Tianmu and Krolu join forces, they would only be two more opponents to be crushed in front of Xuanming.

"Damn it! Humans are indeed unreliable! You forced me into this situation!"

The man in black mist let out a low growl, and a crystal suddenly appeared in his palm, crackling with lightning. The dazzling light instantly illuminated the surrounding darkness!

"Heavenly Thunder Crystal!"

Tian Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly retreated.

This Heavenly Thunder God Crystal was forcibly refined by a world lord with the attribute of thunder by compressing the power of his own world.

However, Xuanming's eyes remained unmoved. Instead, he took a step forward and attacked the black-mist man once again.

"Trying to take me down with you?" the black-mist man hissed with a sneer.

"Then let's die together!"

Without hesitation, he activated the destructive power within the crystal.

Upon seeing this, Krolu's expression changed drastically. With a wave of his giant hand, a solid barrier instantly unfolded, firmly protecting everyone below.

boom!!!

Lightning exploded, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

The violent power of lightning surged like a raging sea, causing space to crack inch by inch. Amidst the ear-piercing explosions, the destructive waves spread wildly.

Xuanming's figure completely disappeared into the center of that blazing white thunderstorm.

At the critical moment, a crimson mountain suddenly shot up from the center of the thunderstorm, crushing most of the lightning.

Redstone Mountain was also overwhelmed, with cracks all over its body, and it was on the verge of collapsing.

hum!

Another light curtain unfolded from the mountaintop, destroying all the remaining lightning.

Xuanming stood atop the mountain, his armor shattered, half his body charred black to the bone, and his aura waning.

But he survived!

"Phew, thankfully the teacher's territory wasn't damaged."

Seeing that no one was affected, Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, Baiyuan, who had witnessed everything, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xuanming won! But who exactly is that black mist?"

Suddenly, a hoarse, eerie laugh pierced his mind.

"Kid! This body is mine!"

Before Bai Yuan could react, a dark shadow enveloped his soul and began to erode and refine it.

"You're still alive! And you're trying to possess me!"

Bai Yuan's mind and spirit trembled violently.

He originally thought the other party really wanted to die together, but he didn't expect it to be just a ruse.

The real purpose was to use the lightning as cover for the soul to escape!

Even more unexpectedly, among everyone present, the black mist chose him!

Even if the soul of a ninth-level domain lord is severely injured and on the verge of death, it is still beyond his ability to contend with.

"What do we do? What do we do!"

Baiyuan racked his brains, but couldn't find a glimmer of hope.

At the same time, Gu Suiting was also secretly surprised:

"Such a tenacious will. If it weren't for his low cultivation level and the vast difference in his soul essence compared to mine, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him in my current damaged state."

Baiyuan fought desperately, but could only watch helplessly as his soul was slowly devoured.

In his despair, he suddenly placed all his hopes on that last reliance.

"System, activate Enlightenment!"
