Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

This was the first time the bronze palace had so clearly craved energy, and Li Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"What is this?"

"Starstone".

As Chen Su Demon Emperor spoke, his figure transformed into a streak of starlight and shot towards the western horizon, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

The Azure-Eyed Eagle King hurriedly grabbed Li Chongwen and followed, flapping its wings. The Silver Wolf strategist glared hatefully at Li Yuan and then led the remaining demon guards to retreat quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the demon soldiers on the wasteland vanished without a trace.

"Kid, let's go."

Yu Chifeng turned and left. Xuan Suo Pass was in dire need of help, and he had to rush to its aid immediately.

Li Yuan did not move. At this moment, his eyes were only on the star stone, and countless tidal sounds roared within his body, as if urging him on.

The star stone spun continuously before his eyes, sparkling with starlight, as if a galaxy was hidden within it, radiating a vast and mysterious power.

Li Yuan uncontrollably reached out his hand, and the Star Stone landed in his palm with a whoosh. Almost at the same time, deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the gate of the bronze palace suddenly roared, exploding deep within Li Yuan's soul.

On the gate, a serpentine rune suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling seven-colored light. The starry river that had been silent for so long seemed to be infused with life and began to slowly swirl and flow.

Before Li Yuan could react, the star stone transformed into a beam of azure starlight in his palm, flowing directly into his body and merging into the swirling galaxy.

boom--!

At that moment, the gates of the bronze palace burst open with a roar!

Although it was only a crack the door was wide enough to open, the starlight that poured out from the crack instantly overwhelmed Li Yuan's entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Within the starlight lay countless fragments of profound information: ancient runes, the trajectories of stars, the chaotic scenes of the beginning of time, and countless torrents of knowledge that he could not comprehend, seemingly from another dimension.

Faced with this vast torrent of information, Li Yuan's mind was like a small boat in a storm, instantly swept into that boundless galaxy.

He felt as if he had become an insignificant speck of dust, drifting in the vast universe.

All around him were endless stars, some as hot as the sun, some as cold as ice, some being born, some dying. He saw the gathering and dispersing of nebulae, the swallowing of everything by black holes, and the rise and fall of countless civilizations...

He tried to grasp something, but he couldn't grasp anything.

His consciousness gradually lost its way in this boundless galaxy.

He didn't know how long he had been drifting—perhaps a moment, perhaps millions of years—before some fragmented images appeared before his eyes.

He saw the world in ancient times, when the sky was higher and the earth was more expansive, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost liquid.

He saw countless ancient gods, hundreds of feet tall and with terrifying auras, fiercely fighting in the sky. Every collision caused the earth to crack, rivers to flow backward, and the sky to collapse.

That is……

Scenes of the ancient war between gods and demons.

He saw the ancient gods fall one after another, their bodies turning into mountains, their blood into rivers, and their souls dissipating between heaven and earth.

A massive crack appeared in the sky, as if the heavens had been ripped apart by an invisible giant hand. Endless chaotic energy surged in from the crack, devouring all life.

He saw a goddess, with a human body and a snake's tail, a compassionate and solemn face, holding a stone that emitted a seven-colored light in her hands. She flew to the crack and used the seven-colored stone to repair the broken sky bit by bit.

Finally, a galaxy appeared before his eyes, stretching across the endless void. The galaxy was so long that it seemed to pierce through the entire universe and connect countless worlds.

At one end of the Milky Way, he vaguely saw the outline of a palace, exactly the same as the bronze palace in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A profound and indifferent consciousness enveloped him. This will was so cold and devoid of any emotion that it began to scan Li Yuan's soul, read his memories, and analyze his essence.

Li Yuan wanted to resist, but found that he couldn't even muster the thought. In the face of that power, he was as insignificant as dust.

His consciousness began to blur.

He forgot who he was, where he came from, and where he was going. Memories of his past life and all that he had in this life were like sand blown away by the wind, gradually dissipating into the Milky Way.

He drifted aimlessly in the Milky Way, leaving only emptiness and nothingness.

The bloody battlefield flashes by, ancient gods roar in despair as they fall, countless lives are lost, and the earth groans in agony…

A violent aura began to grow in his heart, making him extremely irritable and seemingly with an impulse to destroy everything.

His eyes, unconsciously, began to glow with a faint red light.

At that moment, outside, Yu Chifeng took two steps, then suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around abruptly.

Li Yuan's body froze on the spot, his hands still gripping the Star Stone, his eyes vacant, as if he had become an empty shell without a soul.

"Li Yuan?"

Chen Shuo was startled and rushed to Li Yuan, reaching out to pat him.

Just as his fingers were about to touch Li Yuan's shoulder.

"Buzz—!"

An immense and unparalleled power suddenly erupted from Li Yuan's body, and Chen Shuo groaned as he was forcefully thrown away.

"Li Yuan!"

Chen Shuo was shocked. He had just regained his footing when he rushed forward again.

"Don't touch him!"

Yu Chifeng shouted sharply, his eyes fixed on Li Yuan, and he extended his spiritual sense to check on Li Yuan's condition.

However, something unexpected happened. The moment his spiritual sense touched Li Yuan's body, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

A chilling will spread back through his spiritual consciousness, causing his sea of ​​consciousness to tremble.

Yu Chifeng's expression changed, and he immediately withdrew his spiritual sense, looking at him in disbelief.

"What a strange power."

He looked in the direction where the Demon Emperor Chen Su had left and shouted sharply, "Chen Su, what did you do to that brat?"

In the distant sky, the fading starlight paused slightly, and the voice of the Chen Su Demon Emperor echoed: "Rest assured, what I have given him is a great opportunity. Whether he can seize it or not is up to him."

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the laughter, the starlight had completely vanished into the sky.

"asshole!"

Yu Chifeng cursed angrily, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning as he chased after the direction where the Chen Su Demon Emperor had disappeared.

His speed was extremely fast, and he chased after the demon emperor for dozens of miles in the blink of an eye, but the demon emperor had already disappeared.

He hovered in mid-air, his spiritual sense sweeping across a radius of a hundred miles, but he couldn't detect even a trace of it.

Suddenly, a sense of vigilance rose in Yu Chifeng's heart. Could this be a ploy by the other side to lure him away from the mountain?

Thinking of this, he immediately abandoned the pursuit and turned back to Tiger Wolf Pass at an even faster speed.

On the wasteland, Li Yuan remained motionless, his expression blank. His aura grew increasingly unstable, sometimes blazing like fire, sometimes icy cold, radiating a violent energy.

"Something's very wrong with him. Could he have fallen under the spell of the Demon Emperor Chen Su?" Chen Shuo frowned. "What should we do now? We can't just stand by and watch him continue like this, can we?"
