Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Soul Devouring Technique, Soul Power Takes Form!"

Lu Feng suddenly clasped his hands together, then gradually closed his eyes, while chanting incantations, seemingly secretly activating the Soul Devouring Technique.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

As the Soul Devouring Technique was activated, the spiritual power deep within Lu Feng's mind surged out like a tide, enveloping his entire body and flashing with golden light, which was quite strange!

"Soul power taking form?"

"Brother Lu actually knows such methods...!"

Upon seeing this, Ren Lingyun, who was standing next to him, also widened his eyes in shock.

It should be noted that soul power is different from ordinary elemental power. It is originally formless, colorless, and ethereal. However, Lu Feng was able to materialize soul power on the spot, which shows how superb his skills are!

"Watch out, it's coming!"

Just as Ren Lingyun was feeling sentimental, Zhong Lingyu's cold shout came from the side again.

bass!bass!bass!

The next moment, a large amount of starlight released by Earth Tiger Star broke through the air and attacked, instantly covering most of Falling Star Valley. It was like a series of sharp orange-yellow ribbons that went straight for Ren Lingyun's head!

Although Earth Tiger Star's power has not fully recovered and is only one-tenth of its former glory, it is still not something that Ren Lingyun, who is only at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, can withstand. If this attack lands, the former will most likely be torn apart on the spot!

"Spirit Phoenix Blade!"

At this critical moment of life and death, Ren Lingyun dared not be negligent. He immediately regained his composure, and at the same time, his Yuan Power surged out like a tide, eventually transforming into hundreds of blood-red Phoenix Feather Blades, which were equally impressive!

Boom! Rumble...!

Hundreds of spirit phoenix feather blades rained down like a torrential downpour, but they only managed to block a portion of the starlight before vanishing on the spot, causing a series of booming sounds. They did not completely neutralize the attack of the Earth Tiger Star!

"What?!"

Seeing that his full-force attack was easily shattered by the Earth Tiger Star, and that he couldn't even last a second, Ren Lingyun's face turned pale, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

At this moment, he finally understood the enormous gap between ordinary martial artists and those from outer space!

"Step back!"

Zhong Lingyu's cold, stern voice came again in her ear.

Boom! BOOM!

The next moment, Zhong Lingyu's hands suddenly swelled and grew larger, then transformed into a pair of huge beast claws covered in white feathers. At the same time, they swept away the remaining starlight, splattering countless bloodstains!

"Oh, we're saved?!"

Having escaped death once again, Ren Lingyun looked at Zhong Lingyu's pair of blood-soaked, enormous beast claws. Besides being shocked, he felt deeply uneasy and guilty.

Because the other party not only saved his life again, but he was also a complete burden in this battle. He could not help Lu Feng at all, and even dragged down Zhong Lingyu, causing her injuries to worsen.

"Don't get distracted...!"

Zhong Lingyu glanced at Ren Lingyun, whose face was full of guilt, but her expression remained calm. She simply reminded him, "There's still half the time left before the half-incense stick's time is up. We absolutely cannot let it interfere with Lu Feng...!"

Clearly, compared to her own injury, she cared more about Lu Feng's instructions, which were to hold off Earth Tiger Star!

"Miss Zhong, I wonder if you've noticed anything...!"

In response to Zhong Lingyu's reminder, Ren Lingyun nodded first, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"What?" Zhong Lingyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"After that exchange, I have a feeling that the power of this Earth Tiger Star seems to be growing stronger...!"

"Miss Zhong, if this battle continues to drag on, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous for us...!"

At this point, Ren Lingyun frowned, a hint of fear appearing on his face. Zhong Lingyu, standing to the side, also fell silent, her fair hands clenching tightly beneath her sleeves.

Because what the other party said was not unfounded. As for the changes that had occurred on Earth Tiger Star, Zhong Lingyu had also noticed them, but she was not quite sure about it yet.

After the exchange of blows and the reminder from Ren Lingyun, Zhong Lingyu was finally able to confirm that the Earth Tiger Star in front of her was not only gradually recovering its former power, but also showing a trend of becoming stronger with each battle!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Sealing Platform

"Soul power fully charged!"

Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden light surrounding him gradually twisted and changed, eventually transforming into four golden beast shadows of different shapes, each emanating a mysterious aura of soul power.

Moreover, these four golden beast shadows, which were derived from soul power, looked quite strange. On the left were a white tiger and a black tortoise, and on the right were a green snake and a black pig.

"This is... a demonic beast?"

"No, these demonic beasts don't possess any bloodline demonic power; instead, they're filled with a dense aura of soul power. What exactly is Brother Lu trying to do?"

Upon seeing this, Zhong Lingyu and Ren Lingyun, who were struggling to withstand the attack of the Earth Tiger Star, were both slightly surprised and showed a hint of doubt.

Because ordinary martial artists only have two ways to control an extraterrestrial star like "Earth Tiger Star": either suppress it with powerful soul force or seal it with high-level formations.

Although the four soul beast avatars that Lu Feng summoned looked impressive, their soul power was not strong enough to suppress the power of Earth Tiger Star.

"The stellar power within this guy is yours to enjoy...!"

After summoning four uniquely shaped soul beast avatars, Lu Feng didn't waste any words. He immediately pointed his right hand into the air and issued the command, "Soul beast avatars, attack!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Upon Lu Feng's command, the four soul beast avatars did not hesitate at all. They immediately pounced towards the Earth Tiger Star opposite them, like a group of loyal and fearless warriors!

Roar! Crack...!

Suddenly, the White Tiger Soul Beast opened its blood-red maw and bit down on a corner of Earth Tiger Star. Then, the Green Snake Soul Beast followed closely behind, twisting its body to wrap the entire Earth Tiger Star up tightly, like binding a rice dumpling, making it unable to move!

As for the remaining Black Pig Soul Beast and Xuanwu Soul Beast, they were like two mountains, pressing down on Earth Tiger Star from the left and right, making it even more difficult for him to move, and even dimming the starlight on his body!

"Well done! Uh, cough cough cough...!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng's face lit up with a slight joy. However, before he could be happy for long, his face turned pale, and he finally vomited blood and collapsed on the spot.

"Damn it! I'm already at my limit...!"

Lu Feng struggled to his feet, then slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his hand trembling slightly.

Because with his mere seventh level of soul power cultivation, it would be somewhat difficult for him to control four soul beast avatars at once, and the consumption of his soul power would also be considerable.

In addition, the Soul Devouring Technique is a technique that requires constantly devouring soul power in order to maintain oneself from backlash and to continuously become stronger. Right now, Lu Feng is frequently using the Soul Devouring Technique while not getting new soul power to replenish, which will inevitably cause great damage to his body, and may even lead to his death!

This was also Lu Feng's initial plan: first, summon the soul beast avatar, then use the soul beast avatar to temporarily trap Earth Tiger Star, and finally, by devouring the star power on the opponent's body, replace his own depleted soul power, thereby achieving the effect of "using war to sustain war"!

roar...!

Just as Lu Feng was secretly congratulating himself on his "perfect plan," he saw the two-winged, fierce tiger inside the Earth Tiger Star let out another angry roar. The next moment, it broke out of the star and charged straight at Lu Feng, whose aura was weak.

"What?!"

"This thing can actually detach itself from the star's body? This is bad...!"

The sudden change shocked Lu Feng, but before he could react, the two-winged, glaring tiger pounced and, as if it had found a new host, plunged its head into his heart.

*Gulp...! Pfft...!*

The Earth Tiger Star instantly entered his body, and Lu Feng's face turned deathly pale. He felt as if his heart had been shattered by a heavy hammer, and at the same time, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly struck his entire body. He vomited blood and collapsed to the ground again!

Not only that, the life force on Lu Feng's body was also rapidly dissipating, and even the hair on his head turned completely white, as if a towering tree had instantly turned into a withered piece of wood, which was extremely strange and terrifying!

"This, this is... the Heart of the Stars?"

In a daze, Lu Feng struggled to open his eyes, only to see a strange star, about the size of a palm, shimmering with orange-yellow light, floating inside his heart. He was stunned on the spot.

Clearly, this is the true face of Earth Tiger Star, and the two-winged, piercing-eyed tiger from before was merely an embodiment of its will.

Buzz! Pfft...!

Just as Lu Feng was stunned, he saw the Earth Tiger Star emit a blinding starlight again. The next moment, he felt a tearing pain in his heart and vomited blood. He then lost consciousness and was completely lifeless!
