With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Lin Yan stopped at the edge of the star field, his eyes narrowing slightly. He activated the Xingzi Secret Technique to its limit. Runes covered the ground beneath his feet, allowing him to easily penetrate the layers of folded array patterns and take in the scene inside the array.

At the heart of the grand formation, a powerful alien warrior, his body covered in dark blood-red scales and standing four zhang tall, sat cross-legged in the void.

Six thick, condensed blood-red rings floated around him, flowing with dark blood light and wrapped with strands of killing rules. His murderous aura was overwhelming and his pressure was immense. He stood firmly at the late stage of the sixth rank. He was the Blood Soul Clan leader who had previously released his martial will to investigate Lin Yan.

Compared to direct combat, this alien race is clearly more adept at concealment, planning, ambush, and surprise attacks.

Around him stood six Blood Soul Clan warriors, each exuding a chilling aura and a menacing presence. Each of them possessed abundant blood and energy, a solid foundation, and was a true peak fifth-tier warrior.

Apart from the three scouts who were instantly killed earlier, the main force of this Blood Soul Clan squad, which had been lurking outside the Blue Star Passage, had all gathered here.

Six peak fifth-tier beings and one late-stage sixth-tier being.

And this is just one of the countless teams of the Blood Soul Clan. One can imagine just how profound the clan's true foundation is!

At this moment, everyone in the formation had icy expressions and fierce killing intent, all poised to strike.

The sixth-tier commander's eyes were slightly closed, his divine sense locked tightly on the tracking marks around the array's outer edge. A cruel and sinister smile played on his lips as he whispered orders to his clansmen:

"That human warrior was young and impetuous. He killed three of my clansmen. He must be arrogant and think he is invincible. He will definitely follow the trail and come after us."

"Once he steps into the formation's range, immediately activate the Blood Fiend Imprisonment to seal his movement techniques, lock his spiritual power, and corrode his soul!"

"This person's secret techniques are bizarre; he instantly killed our clan's elites. We cannot confront him head-on. We must use the power of the great formation to deplete his strength and disrupt his Dao mind. When he is exhausted, everyone should attack together, tearing apart his physical body and devouring his soul!"

"As long as we kill this person and thoroughly understand the secrets of this doomed star, and report back to our clan, our lord will surely lead a large army to descend upon us personally. At that time, the entire essence of this star will belong to us!"

The low, hoarse roars of the alien race echoed within the formation, filled with greed and bloodlust.

Six peak fifth-tier martial artists nodded simultaneously, their blood-red aura surging, and the blood-red bone blades in their hands gleaming with a cold light. The array patterns were fully activated, and layers of killing intent intertwined into a net, covering the entire barrier space.

In their eyes, Lin Yan was already theirs for the taking; they were just waiting for him to fall into their trap before they could reap his life and achieve great merit.

They never dreamed that their prized trap had already been spotted by their prey; their meticulously planned hunting game had been completely controlled by outsiders from the very beginning.

In the shadows, Lin Yan silently observed the arrangements made by the people in the formation, his heart undisturbed.

The seven alien beings, one at the sixth rank and six at the peak of the fifth rank, were indeed qualified to ambush and hunt down powerful individuals in the outer realms. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent and the wrong hunting ground.

This void near Blue Star is their burial ground.

"I originally intended to quietly seclude myself to break through to the Dao Palace and proceed slowly."

Lin Yan murmured softly, his eyes growing increasingly murderous.

"Since you are pressing us step by step, trying to cut off the lifeline of the human race, then I have no choice but to eliminate the external threat first, and then cultivate myself."

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yan no longer concealed his presence.

The silent void suddenly roared!

The Devouring Heaven Array Patterns suddenly spread out from his body, the dark and deep Dao patterns flowing with terrifying Devouring Heaven Power, like opening up a small black hole, covering the void in all directions, and devouring all evil energy.

The Secret of the Word "Xing", the Secret of the Word "Qian", and the Secret of the Word "Lin"—three of the nine secrets—operate simultaneously in an instant, perfectly merging and unifying the three ultimate profound mysteries.

The three ultimate powers that suppress all heavens—extreme speed of time and space, soul suppression, and physical strength—burst forth with a thunderous roar, instantly breaking through all the illusions of the void!

boom!

The intense sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout the starry sea. The Blood Soul Clan members, who were waiting for their prey in the formation, suddenly changed their expressions. Their blood energy surged, and an extreme fear from the depths of their souls rose up in their hearts!

"Oh no! He's been here for ages!"

The sixth-tier commander's eyes widened in disbelief, and a chilling aura instantly swept over his entire body.

His perfect trap and ingenious disguise were completely seen through by the other party. They did not act rashly at all, but instead watched coldly from the shadows and saw through all their arrangements!

"Activate the grand formation! Fully imprison them! Kill!"

The commander reacted extremely quickly, roaring fiercely and pouring all his sixth-order Dao power into the array's core, causing the entire Blood Fiend Array to erupt.

In an instant, countless blood-red array patterns shot into the sky, and layers of malevolent energy transformed into thousands of shackles, imprisoning time and space, spreading towards Lin Yan, attempting to completely seal him off and kill him on the spot.

At the same time, six peak fifth-tier martial artists suddenly rose up, their blood-red bone blades cleaving through the starry sea. Six blood-red blade beams, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, were wrapped in overwhelming ferocity, tearing through the void and fiercely slashing towards Lin Yan!

Wherever the blade's light passed, the void shattered, dark currents surged, and a chilling aura corroded bones; its power was terrifying beyond compare.

At the heart of the formation, the sixth-tier commander formed hand seals, and six rings around his body rose into the air, transforming into six ferocious, blood-red soul-devouring demonic shadows. They opened their mouths to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions, and with terrifying power to devour souls and obliterate foundations, they pounced forward!

In an instant, a deadly aura filled the sky, sealing off all directions and blocking both the front and back paths, creating a truly deadly trap.

If any sixth-level cultivator were to fall into such an encirclement and killing formation, they would surely be unable to move an inch, their physical body would be locked up, their soul would be corroded, and they would eventually perish from exhaustion.

Faced with a barrage of deadly attacks, Lin Yan remained unmoved, simply raising his hand and gently flicking it away.

"swallow!"

With the fall of a single word, all things fall silent!

The boundless power of the Devouring Heaven suddenly spread out, and the pitch-black hole enveloped the entire array's airspace.

The six crimson blade beams, powerful enough to shatter stars, were swallowed up silently and completely as soon as they approached the black hole, leaving not even a trace behind.

Six ferocious and terrifying blood-red Soul-Devouring Demon Shadows roared and pounced upon approaching. The moment they touched the Devouring Heaven Dao Pattern, their bodies disintegrated layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their blood-red origin and evil Dao charm were all plundered and absorbed, and they vanished into nothingness in an instant.

The Blood Fiend Array, which covered a vast star field, trembled violently, its patterns dimmed, and its fiendish energy dissipated. The array's original power was being frantically plundered, and countless array patterns crumbled inch by inch!

In the blink of an eye, the roles of hunter and prey were reversed.

"What...what kind of bizarre magic is this?!"

The sixth-rank commander was shocked and speechless, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind trembled violently.

He had traversed the starry sea for hundreds of years and had seen countless geniuses' secret techniques and racial supernatural abilities, but he had never seen such a domineering and unsolvable Devouring Dao!

Even the Blood Fiend Array, created by the clan's ancestors and used to intimidate all races in the starry sky, was like paper in the hands of the opponent, being wantonly crushed and devoured!

Before he could recover from his extreme shock, the fatal blow had already struck.

Lin Yan moved, activating the Xingzi Secret Technique to its fullest extent.

Fragments of time were faintly wrapped around his body. His figure transformed into a phantom, ignoring the array's confinement and the void's blockade. In an instant, he traveled tens of thousands of miles, directly piercing through layers of blood-red array patterns, and appeared beside the sixth-tier commander.
