Chapter 1018 Star Silence Slaying Demons
But for Yu Changsheng, it was like experiencing a cycle of millions of years.
His consciousness floated and sank in the Star Annihilation Sea, witnessing firsthand the condensation of the star base, the imprinting of the Annihilation Sword Pattern, the re-ignition of the Star Ember Fire Core, the weaving of the Void Devouring Veins, the flow of the Chaos Emperor's Blood, and the fusion of Emerald Gold Daoist Rhymes...
When the last wisp of emerald gold Daoist essence merged into the core of the Dao embryo—
"Om-!"
A powerful aura erupted from Yu Changsheng's body!
At the location of his shattered dantian, a brand new Dao embryo condensed and took shape: the base was ice-blue like the starry sky, with dark blue sword patterns flowing on the surface; the central star core burned, and the flames intertwined with ice-blue and dark red radiated an aura of destruction and rebirth; golden imperial blood flowed through his meridians, and the emerald-gold Dao rhyme permeated the entire process like a soul.
This is no longer the Dao Embryo of the Ruins and Ashes.
This is... the Starry Night Dao Embryo!
The moment the Dao Embryo took shape, Yu Changsheng's cultivation began to rise rapidly—
Late stage of Golden Core... Perfect Golden Core... Early stage of Nascent Soul... Mid stage of Nascent Soul... Late stage of Nascent Soul... Perfect Nascent Soul... Early stage of Deity Transformation!
He broke through all the bottlenecks and went straight to the Nascent Soul stage! And not just any ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but one with a solid foundation and a perfect Dao embryo!
"Roar--!"
Yu Changsheng looked up at the sky and roared. The roar contained the clear and melodious power of stars, the sharpness of the sword intent of annihilation, the ferocity of the fire of the abyss, the depth of devouring the void, the domineering power of the chaotic emperor's blood, and the profound mystery of the emerald gold Dao rhyme.
Wherever the howl passed, space trembled, star fragments shattered, and even the demon army that had regrouped in the distance paled in shock!
"He...he broke through?!" A Nascent Soul elder exclaimed in shock.
"The Dao Embryo has been reforged... with the Star Vein as its foundation... how is this possible?!" another person exclaimed in disbelief.
Although the Soul-Devouring Demon had retreated to a distance, he still sensed the overwhelming aura. His face turned ashen, and fear and greed flashed in his eyes—this child must not be allowed to live!
"Kill! Take advantage of his unstable breakthrough and surround him with all your might!" the Soul Devouring Demon roared, and three Nascent Soul elders led the demon army to attack again.
Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.
The vortex of the Void in his left eye continued to spin, but a touch of icy blue starlight had appeared at its center; the rekindled embers in his right eye had also turned the color of starlight embers. He gripped the Star Silence Sword, feeling the immense power within his body—the Star Silence Dao Embryo was as stable as the starry sky, the five forces perfectly fused together, with no more conflict.
“Now…” Yu Changsheng looked at the approaching demon army, a cold smile curving his lips, “it’s time to clear the field.”
Yu Changsheng is alive.
He didn't use any fancy sword techniques, just a simple horizontal slash.
The Star Silence Sword sliced through space, leaving a trail of icy blue and dark red in its wake. The trail spread, cleaving the demonic army it touched in two like paper—not torn apart by the sword's energy, but simply obliterated by the "Star Silence Power" contained within the trail!
One sword strike, and three hundred demon soldiers are annihilated!
"Form the formation! Form the Myriad Souls Devouring Heart Formation!" a Nascent Soul elder roared, and the demon army quickly changed formation. Dark purple demonic energy condensed into countless chains of vengeful souls, which wrapped around Yu Changsheng like a spider web.
Instead of retreating, Yu Changsheng advanced, causing the Star Silence Sword to tremble slightly, and the dark blue sword patterns on its surface to light up.
"Star Silence - Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source".
"Clang clang clang—!"
The Star Silence Sword split into countless sword shadows, each a tapestry of icy blue and dark red, imbued with the sword intent of annihilation and the flames of starlight. The sword shadows poured down like a torrential rain, colliding with the chains of vengeful spirits in the instant—
"Chucky!"
The chains melted away, and vengeful spirits howled as they were slain, burned, and devoured by the sword shadows. Wherever the Starry Sword Shadow passed, the demon army's battle formation crumbled like an avalanche.
"Impossible! How could his power be..." Before the Nascent Soul Elder could finish speaking, a sword shadow pierced through his protective demonic light and stabbed into his brow.
"Uh..." The elder's pupils dilated, and his body stiffened. The next moment, starfire ignited from within him, and the icy blue and dark red flames burned him to ashes, not even his soul could escape.
One sword strike, and a Nascent Soul cultivator is slain!
The remaining two Nascent Soul elders were terrified and turned to flee. Yu Changsheng made a grabbing motion with his left hand, and the Void Vortex unleashed a terrifying suction force, freezing the two of them in place.
"Stars fall silent, returning to the ruins and annihilation."
The Star Silence Sword flew out of their hands, transforming into a beam of light interwoven with ice blue and dark red, piercing through the two figures. Where the beam passed, the two Nascent Soul elders vanished completely, like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
In three breaths, three Nascent Soul cultivators were slain!
The Soul-Devouring Demon had already fled thousands of feet away, but Yu Changsheng's divine sense had locked onto him.
"Old Demon, it's your turn."
Yu Changsheng took a step forward, and the star array patterns beneath his feet lit up—he could actually briefly manipulate the remaining array patterns of the post station to perform spatial teleportation! In the next step, he appeared in front of the Soul Devouring Demon.
The Soul Devouring Demon's pupils shrank sharply. Yu Changsheng's method of shattering the void with this step clearly showed that he had reached the initial control of the spatial laws of the Nascent Soul stage!
What alarmed him even more was that the aura of ice blue and dark red emanating from the other party was actually suppressing his Yin Sha Demon Art, which he had cultivated for thousands of years—that was the pure star Daoist rhyme originating from the creator of the starry sky, which had an innate restraint on all evil and filth!
"Youngster! Don't push your luck!" the Soul-Devouring Demon roared, his withered hands rapidly forming hand seals, and his body erupted with overwhelming demonic energy.
The demonic energy wasn't ordinary black, but a dark red tinged with filthy blood, within which countless twisted faces emerged—the vengeful spirits and essences he had refined into the White Bone Banner over the years. Even with his natal magic weapon destroyed, his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation remained, and his desperate struggle still exuded terrifying power.
"Ten Thousand Souls Blood Demon - Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs!"
The Soul-Devouring Demon bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of his primordial blood essence.
The essence and blood merged with the demonic energy, instantly transforming into a blood-red domain that covered a hundred feet.
Within the domain, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and the phantom of the Yellow Springs appeared. Countless blood-red skeletons crawled out of the Yellow Springs, wielding rusty weapons, their eye sockets flickering with a ghastly green soul fire, and rushed towards Yu Changsheng.
This is the Soul Devouring Demon's trump card, using his own blood essence as a guide to summon the projection of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs. Within the domain, countless souls devour the heart, corrupt one's magic power, and erode one's foundation. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level would suffer greatly if caught in it!
Yu Changsheng's expression remained unchanged. The Star Silence Sword pointed diagonally at the ground, its blade humming. Within his dantian, the Star Silence Dao Embryo slowly rotated, and the dark blue sword patterns on the ice-blue base lit up one by one, while the Star Ember Fire Core in the center burned fiercely.
"Starry Night, Pure World".
He uttered four words softly, and the Starry Night Sword slowly rose. Without any earth-shattering force, the sword's edge left a pure, icy-blue trail. That trail was like the deepest night sky before dawn, or a mirror frozen solidified from ancient ice, reflecting all the filth within the blood-red domain. The sword fell.
The icy blue trajectory suddenly expanded, transforming into a sword curtain as thin as a cicada's wing yet stretching across the heavens and earth, pushing forward.
"laugh--!"
The moment the sword curtain made contact with the crimson domain, it emitted a teeth-grinding melting sound.
The blood-red skeletons that rushed forward melted and evaporated as soon as they touched the icy blue sword curtain, like snow meeting the blazing sun, without even having time to utter a scream.
The phantom of the Yellow Springs trembled violently, its blood churning, yet it could not erode the sword barrier in the slightest—instead, it was purified by the purifying power of the stars contained within the sword barrier!
"No! This is impossible!" the Soul Devouring Demon screamed. He felt his connection with the Crimson Domain being forcibly severed, and the resentful souls and spirits he had painstakingly refined were rapidly dissipating under the purification of the sword curtain!
He frantically channeled his magical power, attempting to stabilize the domain, even burning his divine soul to unleash more and more grotesque ghosts from the Yellow Springs phantom. But all his efforts were in vain.
The icy blue sword curtain, like a plow of heaven, swept away all filth, leaving only a clear starry sky. The crimson domain retreated steadily, finally shattering completely with a soft "pop."
"Pfft!" The Soul-Devouring Demon was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out three mouthfuls of black blood, his aura instantly weakening to the extreme. Despair finally appeared in his eyes, and he turned around, intending to tear through space and escape.
"Can they escape?"
Yu Changsheng's voice rang out behind him, calm and undisturbed.
The Star Silence Sword had appeared three inches behind the Soul Devouring Demon's heart without anyone noticing. Before the sword tip even arrived, the annihilating sword intent, interwoven with icy blue and dark red, had already completely frozen and locked down the space around him.
The Soul-Devouring Demon stood frozen in place. He could feel that if he moved even slightly, that eerie sword would pierce his heart, along with his soul, and be condemned to eternal annihilation.
"You...you can't kill me!" the Soul-Devouring Demon roared, his voice trembling with fear. "I am the Third Elder of the Yin Sha Sect! If you kill me, the Yin Sha Sect will fight you to the death! The Sect Master is a Void Refinement expert, you..."
"Noisy."
Yu Changsheng flicked his wrist slightly, and the Star Silence Sword was gently pushed forward.
"laugh."
The sword tip pierced flesh, but no blood splattered. Centered on the sword tip, the Soul-Devouring Demon's body rapidly became transparent and ethereal, like a painting erased by an eraser. His mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Finally, along with his blood-stained robe, his storage artifact, and even the remnants of his divine soul imprint, everything transformed into specks of icy blue starlight and dissipated into the void.
The third elder of the Yin Sha Sect, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Soul Devouring Demon—his body and soul were annihilated, and he returned to the silence of the stars.
Yu Changsheng sheathed his sword, the Star Silence Sword's brilliance receding, returning to its original dark blue base with flowing starlight. He stood in the void, looking around.
Outside Chuchen Post Station, thousands of Yin Sha demon soldiers had already been routed. Their commander had fallen, three Nascent Soul elders had been killed, and the remaining demon cultivators were terrified and were fleeing for their lives towards the outer edge of the Starfall Ancient Road, wishing they had two more legs.
Yu Changsheng did not pursue. His Star Silence Dao Embryo was newly formed, and although its power was immense, continuously unleashing powerful moves, especially the final "Star Silence: Purification" sword strike, had taken a considerable toll. He needed time to stabilize his realm and familiarize himself with this new power.
more importantly……
He turned around and looked into Chuchen Post Station.
In the center of the post station, the cracks in the rhomboid crystal on the altar had widened further, and its light had dimmed, clearly indicating severe damage from the recent extraction of a large amount of stellar energy. However, deep within the crystal, the ancient and immense stellar energy fluctuations were even clearer than before.
Yu Changsheng could sense that this stellar pulse fluctuation was not isolated, but rather extended along some mysterious trajectory into the depths of the ancient road. At the end of that trajectory was precisely where the icy blue starlight that Chen Xueqing had sensed was located.
"Xue Qing... Elder Qingyi... Mo Yu..." He murmured his companion's name, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, extending along the direction of the Star Remains Chain.
Soon, he detected the familiar emerald-gold Daoist energy fluctuations, as well as the faint yet resilient aura of the Pure World Lotus. They had traveled quite a distance along the Star Remains Chain, but their pace was slow—clearly, traversing this broken ancient path remained difficult for the group, who were in poor condition.
Yu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then did not immediately set off to give chase.
He sat cross-legged beside the altar, the Star Silence Sword resting on his lap, and closed his eyes to look inward.
Within his dantian, the Starry Night Dao Embryo slowly rotated, as stable as a starry pedestal. The five forces—icy blue stellar power, dark blue annihilation sword intent, icy blue and dark red interwoven star embers, golden chaotic emperor blood, and the emerald gold Dao rhyme of the "Return to the Void"—merged perfectly, their previous conflicts and rampages completely gone. With each rotation, pure spiritual energy was generated, flowing through his limbs and bones, nourishing his previously nearly collapsed physical body.
"A blessing in disguise..." Yu Changsheng thought to himself.
If his Dao Embryo had not been shattered, if he had not been in dire straits, and if he had not had the guidance of the Chu Chen Yi Star Vein, he would never have been able to reforge such a perfect "Starry Night Dao Embryo". This new Dao Embryo not only has a foundation far superior to the previous Gui Xu Jin Yuan Dao Embryo, but also has infinite potential because it has fused with the origin of stars and the sword intent of annihilation.
only……
With a slight thought, the Star Ember Fire Core at the center of the Starry Night Dao Embryo swayed gently. Within the flames, the faint phantom of Mo Yu's reborn remnant soul, as well as the imprint of Chen Xueqing's emerald gold Dao aura, appeared.
Although Mo Yu's remnant soul was preserved thanks to the rebirth of the Star Silence Sword, and even merged more closely with the sword intent, the loss was still too great. At this moment, he has fallen into a deep sleep, and it is unknown when he will wake up.
Chen Xueqing's Daoist rhyme from "The Return to the Void: The Pivot of Origin" has been completely integrated into the Starry Night Dao Embryo, becoming its "soul"-like regulatory center. This means that the connection between his Daoist rhyme and Chen Xueqing is closer than ever before. He can even faintly sense Chen Xueqing's condition in the distance—her spiritual body is still weak, but her emerald-gold Daoist rhyme is slowly recovering under the nourishment of the Star Key fragments.
"Once we reunite with them, we need to stabilize Xueqing's spiritual body as soon as possible and help Senior Moyu awaken," Yu Changsheng secretly resolved.
After regulating his breathing for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yu Changsheng opened his eyes. In his left eye, the Void Vortex was deep and profound, while in his right eye, the Star Ember Flame burned quietly. His aura had been completely stabilized at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his foundation was solid, without any sense of instability.
He stood up and looked at the diamond-shaped crystal on the altar.
The crystal was cracked and mottled, but a single icy blue starlight stubbornly flickered at its core. Yu Changsheng reached out and gently touched the crystal, probing it with his divine sense.
Instantly, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind—it was a portion of the ancient road map and legacy imprint left by the Starry Sky Forger in the eyes of the First Star Post Array!
The map was incomplete, only marking the area around Chuchen Post Station and a general path leading to the "Ice Blue Starlight" deep within. Several nodes were marked on the path, the nearest of which was named "Shattered Star Corridor," with a small note next to it: "Dense with star debris, spatial turbulence is like a knife, and ancient road spirits live in groups. Proceed with caution."
The inherited mark is even more vague, seemingly a fragment of an ancient method about "Starry Body Forging" and "Nirvana Soul Refining," which faintly echoes Yu Changsheng's newly formed Starry Dao Embryo, but the information is incomplete and difficult to comprehend.
"Shattered Star Corridor... an ancient path inhabited by spirits..." Yu Changsheng frowned slightly. Elder Qingyi and the others were heading in that direction; they had to catch up as soon as possible.
Without further hesitation, he reached out and grasped. The rhombus-shaped crystal trembled slightly, then detached from the altar and flew into his palm. As the crystal departed, the array patterns around the entire Chuchen Post Station rapidly dimmed, and the remaining outer defenses completely dissipated. This ancient post station had finally completed its final mission. (End of Chapter)
