Taihuang Star Seal

“Swoosh, whoosh…”

In the chaotic starry sea filled with the eerie aura of death, an unusual figure was moving back and forth with great interest.

This person is Ding Chen, who holds the power of the [Law of Time]!

"Huh? There are actually more than a dozen pieces of corrupted star crystal fragments here?!"

At a certain moment, the young man suddenly stopped flying and stared at several lumps of rotten ash not far away with his burning eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. It can be used to replenish my lost original profound strength."

Ding Chen did what he thought. With a wave of his hand, the power of the law of time seemed to "baptize" these dozen or so unremarkable things from head to toe.

"Om~"

In just a blink of an eye, these more than ten pieces of [Star Crystal Fragments] have been restored to their original state!

An unprecedented powerful and mysterious spirit suddenly filled the entire starry sea.

Teacher Ding Chen was not polite and used the mysterious formation to refine it on the spot.

“Huff, huff…”

Time passes minute by minute.

When the first piece of [Star Crystal Fragment] was completely absorbed, all the Xuanling that Ding Chen had lost along the way was replenished.

Then comes the second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

As the last piece of [Star Crystal Fragment] was swallowed and refined into his body, Ding Chen's aura had already reached the third level of the True Enlightenment Realm!

He had recovered most of the cultivation that was lost due to overdrawing his original profound energy.

Ding Chen breathed a sigh of satisfaction. "Huh~ They truly are worthy of being the fragments of a shattered star core. The profound spiritual energy contained in any one of them is enough to surpass the spiritual energy contained in ten thousand top-grade spiritual stones..."

"Huh? Wait, there's more good stuff over there?!"

As his Xuan Xiu realm improved, Ding Chen's sensing ability also increased, so he noticed a small object in the southeast direction.

This thing is black and hidden in the rotten dust of the starry sea, making it inconspicuous.

But every hair on Ding Chen's body was cheering!

"T-This is actually a 'star core'?! This is incredibly rare!!"

Ding Chen was overjoyed.

No wonder he was so out of sorts.

You should know that the [star crystal fragments] that Ding Chen had swallowed and refined before were actually the products of the disintegration of the [star core].

Even so, the mysterious spiritual power it contains is ten thousand times higher than that of the best spirit stone!

And the [Star Core] itself is even more amazing.

It can be regarded as the energy core of a planet!

However, not every planet can continuously nucleate its own energy until it becomes a [star core] with greatly concentrated energy.

In fact, looking at the vast universe, it is not certain that one out of a hundred million planets can condense into a [star core].

The mysterious spiritual power contained in it is extremely enormous. Just one of them is enough to allow a cultivator who has just entered the "realm of true enlightenment" to reach the "peak of true enlightenment" overnight!

"What is poison to you is honey to me."

"This Chaos Star Sea has truly become a blessed land that belongs exclusively to me!"

Delighted, Ding Chen hurriedly began to set up the formation.

The preparation work required to absorb an entire [star core] is much more complicated than absorbing a dozen [star crystal fragments].

Therefore, Ding Chen must prepare well.

Fortunately, ever since he discovered the power of his [Law of Time] and was able to "turn on cheat mode" in this chaotic starry sea, he has used the method of "turning back time" to get good things.

Now, even if we want to set up a formation to refine the [Star Core], it is not difficult to do...

Time is like water, years are like a shuttle.

In a blink of an eye, Ding Chen has been in the Chaos Star Sea for more than a year.

Just as the young man was wandering in the endless treasures that belonged to him alone, the [Shenzhou Holy City] which he founded in his previous life but was now occupied by Mu Zihong and his mother, welcomed a resentful guest.

……

The smell of rotting flesh wafted through the long, cloud-covered streets of the Holy City of Shenzhou.

Twelve dried corpses were hung on the eaves of the city gate tower.

Those were the people of the Holy City who had been discussing state affairs in the Holy City Square four days ago.

At this moment, their tongues were pierced by iron hooks, and their empty eye sockets were facing the bustling crowd below...

"I heard that the daughter of Shopkeeper Liu in East Market was taken away by the guards..."

As soon as the woman selling elixirs lifted the bamboo curtain, the tea master next door immediately grabbed her wrist.

In the steaming spiritual smoke and mist, Dr. Cha's bloodshot eyes trembled as he glanced fearfully at the reflection of the red-scaled armor on the street corner. Then he started to transmit his voice, "Sixth Lady, be careful with your words!"

Then he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Sixth Lady, do you think these newly picked Wushan Blood Silver Needles are still fresh?"

At this moment——

“Tatta, tatta…”

"Ring ring ring!"

The guard wearing the red fire mask and black dragon combat boots walked past the stall, and the soul-chasing bell on his waist rang automatically without wind.

The hot steam rising from the teapot's spout condensed into blood beads on the guard's armor - those dark red lines were not decorations, but a soul-chasing curse that was truly cast with the blood and essence of the monks.

The woman then realized what was happening, and with trembling hands she grabbed a handful of withered spiritual herbs.

The rustling of grass drowned out the sound of her swallowing in fear.

"Someone has violated the gag order again."

The sound of cups clinking came from the second floor of the tavern, and a young man in brocade clothes chuckled as he looked at the blood mist that suddenly exploded in the distance.

The glass cup in his hand was filled with amber liquid. Looking closely, it was clearly nectar mixed with his heart's blood.

In the shadow of the window lattice, his companion's silver glove crushed the jade cup. "As far as I know, the painter sent to the purgatory under the city three days ago was the one who once received a compliment from Lord Ding."

"Logically speaking, this relationship is completely unrelated, but now it has been exposed and he has been thrown into prison..."

"Tsk tsk, I know that the sound of bloody infernal chains scraping against bones never stops day and night!"

“It’s so miserable, so miserable!”

"Logically speaking, Lord Ding has been dead for over three hundred years. The purge of those close to him and those who knew him well should have concluded long ago."

"But now, alas!"

"When will these frightening and frustrating days end..."

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a figure crashed into the main hall of the inner city.

The shaking was so strong that even the individual customers in the shops outside the city were staggering!

"Someone broke into the city?!"

Someone asked nervously, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I'm surprised by something I haven't seen before. This commotion could only be the arrival of Gu Yue Hong Huang, who has a close relationship with Queen Mu."

"Oh, that guy..."

"I wonder what tricks he's going to pull with Mu Zihong?"

"Shhhhhh, are you trying to save your life? How dare you know the Queen's name?"

"What are you afraid of? We're a million miles apart..."

Before the man could finish his words, he exploded on the spot with a "poof" sound!

Pieces of broken body and bloody flesh were scattered everywhere!

“Ah, ahhhhh!!”

"It's none of my business!!"

"Please, Queen, have mercy..."

Everyone who was still discussing heatedly a second ago now knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

At the same time, in the main hall.

The woman with the fiery phoenix crown and blood-red skirt rubbed the blood stains on her fingertips with an indifferent expression: "Hmph, you ignorant ant!"

She actually has such a deadly move that can take lives from a distance.

This woman is none other than the current lord of [Shenzhou Holy City]: Mu Zihong.

She killed a life with a single blow, but then turned around and put on a noble and proud expression. She said to Gu Yue Hong Huang, who had come unannounced, "What brings you here, Lord Gu Yue?"
