On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

The Eight Extremes Heaven has eight forms, and each form requires training on a corresponding planet to master.

These are essential conditions for learning the Eight Extremes Heaven.

Only in this way can one truly grasp the essence of the Eight Extremes Heaven.

Otherwise, even if you learn it, it will only be superficially impressive, with less than one-tenth of its power.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Han followed Ma Chong and walked through the Eight Extremes Star once.

When Ye Han first arrived on the desert star, he was only eighteen years old; now he is twenty-three.

Five years were compressed into high-intensity training and combat on eight planets. Every day felt like dancing on the edge of a knife, but every day was incredibly fulfilling.

Bajitian truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest fighting technique in the universe.

Every move is interconnected, demonstrating comprehensive abilities with no weaknesses.

Ye Han learned the first few moves very quickly because of his solid foundation and strong abilities.

He was able to perfectly replicate the Bursting Foot and Sky Chasing techniques after just one demonstration, and he mastered the essence of the second move of Extreme Cold Star in a very short time.

The third, fourth, and fifth moves each elevated his strength to a new level.

Starting from the sixth move, the speed begins to slow down noticeably.

It took a full six months to master the final eighth move, and it's still a bit lacking in skill. I need more practice to make it as easy as an extension of my own arm.

But Ye Han was not in a hurry.

If that's the case, the first seven techniques are sufficient.

The Eight Extremes Heaven encompasses a variety of abilities, integrating offense and defense. Speed, strength, defense, evasion, perception, and endurance are all pushed to the limits that his current body can withstand.

With his Eight Extremes Heavenly Sword alone, Ye Han is already capable of being fearless of anyone.

On Storm Star.

The gale continued to rage across the planet, with powerful air currents whipping up grayish-white dust that howled through the deep canyons.

Ye Han and Ma flew up from a deep canyon and stood side by side on the cliff top, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

A spaceship with its hatch open was parked next to them; it was the same familiar spaceship.

Today is the day Ye Han leaves the Eight Extremes Star.

"Young Ye, now that things have come to this, you've successfully mastered the Eight Extremes Heaven. Except for the eighth form, which is slightly inferior, your mastery of the other seven forms is no less than mine." The horse's voice was mostly torn apart by the wind, but every word clearly reached Ye Han's ears.

"If you cause trouble in the future, just don't tell anyone about me."

His tone remained the same as always.

But Ye Han could tell that what was pressing beneath that calm was not a desire to distance himself.

The unspoken message is: Go do what you want, don't worry about me. Whether you cause trouble, get into trouble, become famous, or remain unknown, it doesn't matter. Just don't expose me.

Ye Han smiled and said, "I understand."

That year, Ma taught him everything he knew, sparing no effort and holding nothing back.

Ye Han saw it all; this kindness was too great to repay.

We can only wait until the Ma talisman is complete before returning to the Eight Extremes Star to heal Master Ma's injuries.

During a chance training session, Ye Han discovered that Master Ma had extremely serious old injuries.

The injuries were all over his body, affecting his meridians, internal organs, and bones; almost no system was intact.

He had tried to heal the horse with the horse charm, but the restorative power of the three fragments had little effect on the old wounds.

Ye Han had asked Ma about the injury, but Ma refused to mention it, always glossing over it and changing the subject if asked too many times.

This still struck Ye Han as unbelievable.

Given Ma's strength, it would be almost impossible for him to be injured like this.

You must know that Ma is the founder of Bajitian and the strongest known fighter in this universe. How terrifying must someone be to be able to injure him to this extent?

What's even stranger is that those injuries had been inside the horse for a very long time, and the horse was only able to withstand them thanks to its own constitution. The effect of the horse talisman fragments was merely a drop in the ocean.

It is estimated that only a complete horse talisman can restore him to his original state.

"This spaceship is dedicated to my Eight Extremes Star. It can only take you to the nearest Class A planet. Once you arrive, the spaceship will return." Ma pointed to the spaceship next to him.

"You're so stingy, you won't even give away a spaceship." Ye Han clicked his tongue.

"Would you like a planet?" Ma rarely replied.

The two, who were both teacher and friend throughout the year, would occasionally exchange a few playful banter, which added a touch of liveliness to the otherwise monotonous training.

Ma usually speaks as little as a stone statue, but whenever Ye Han makes a point, he will reply with a nonchalant remark.

"Stop talking so much, just go. I'm annoyed just looking at you." Ma pulled his hood down, covering most of his face.

Ye Han smiled and didn't pay much attention.

He walked toward the spaceship, climbed the gangway, and then suddenly stopped.

"By the way, where's Snow White? Didn't you say you'd see her after you finished your studies?" Ye Han asked with a hint of anticipation, as it had been a long time since he'd seen her.

A strong wind howled between the two of them.

Thunder roared overhead from Storm Star, tearing a rift in the gray-white clouds with lightning. Purple bolts of lightning lashed down from the sky to the bottom of the abyss canyon, illuminating the entire cliff top in a ghastly white light.

"I knew you still had her in mind. To tell you the truth, she approached me the day before training started," Ma explained.

That day.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Bai Xue approached Ma and explained her purpose:

"We Tianxue Star people have a special talent. When a close relative suffers an accident, all the events that happened will be projected onto their eyes."

"I saw that something happened on Tianxue Star, and I need to go back and deal with it."

"Ma, please take good care of Ye Han for me."

Ma remained silent for a moment.

He had heard of the Tianxue Star people's ability to project images onto their closest relatives. It could only be triggered between close relatives, and the projected images would definitely have actually happened.

No matter what it is, Bai Xue's attitude speaks volumes.

"What? You and that kid escaped death several times to get past the Eight Extremes Star, and you're just giving up at the last minute?" Ma asked casually.

He didn't ask her what she had seen; that was her private matter, and he didn't need to know.

I just want to know if she has really thought it through.

Bai Xue lowered her head and gave her answer: "Yes, I'm giving up on the Eight Extremes Heaven. There are some things I'll regret for the rest of my life if I don't do them."

"Please, don't tell Ye Han about my departure. Let him cultivate with you properly, okay?"

Ma felt sorry for Bai Xue.

The difficulty of traversing the Eight Extremes Star is no less than climbing a towering ice peak with bare hands. There are no ropes, no protection, a bottomless abyss beneath your feet, and wind and snow overhead. Every step could be your last.

"Okay, I agree. Once you've finished dealing with your own affairs, you can come back to me to learn the Eight Extremes Heaven."

"I will tell Ye Han everything after he learns the Eight Extremes Heaven Technique. As for what happens after that, it is no longer my concern."

A slight smile appeared on Bai Xue's solemn face.

With her last worry gone, she could finally go home with peace of mind.

Over the years, she and Ye Han have been through thick and thin together, experiencing many things together. The thought of giving up is excruciating.

But she knew in her heart that some things were more important than becoming stronger.

There are some things that she has to settle herself.
