BOOM—!
A terrifying torrent of stellar energy erupted from Sima Tiancheng’s eyes.
For a moment, the Great Dao trembled, and starlight filled the void.
The sheer destructive force of this power made the entire Yin Sha City seem on the verge of collapse, as if it might shatter at any moment.
It gave the chilling impression of a true stellar storm descending upon the world.
In an instant, the energy deluge surged violently, completely engulfing Gu Qingfeng.
A hint of regret flashed across Sima Tiancheng’s lips. He felt somewhat disappointed—he had wanted to savor the sight of Gu Qingfeng crippled and begging for mercy on his knees.
Alas, the power of the stellar storm was too immense. Even a mere fraction of its force was beyond his full control, making it impossible to withdraw at will.
Thus, Gu Qingfeng’s fate was sealed—utter annihilation, leaving no corpse behind.
"You got off too easy," Sima Tiancheng muttered, his tone tinged with boredom.
"If you’re not satisfied, you can try again," a calm voice echoed from within the starlight.
"What?!"
Sima Tiancheng’s pupils constricted violently, his face twisting in disbelief as he stared into the depths of the dissipating starlight. Gradually, the radiance faded, revealing a towering figure—godlike and demonic in presence.
"How is this possible?!"
Sima Tiancheng’s mind reeled in shock as he took in Gu Qingfeng’s completely unharmed state.
This was the terrifying power of a stellar storm! Even if incomplete, a force of this magnitude should have sent even a Golden Immortal fleeing in terror, unwilling to face it head-on.
"How are you unscathed?!" Sima Tiancheng blurted out, his earlier composure shattered.
"Don’t believe it?" Gu Qingfeng cast him a sidelong glance. "Then try again."
Sima Tiancheng’s face twisted into a snarl, his teeth grinding together. "DIE!"
With a roar, he reopened the starborn eye on his forehead, unleashing another devastating surge of stellar energy that hurtled toward Gu Qingfeng.
BOOM—!
Once again, Gu Qingfeng was swallowed by the blinding starlight.
Sima Tiancheng’s eyes remained fixed on the explosion, anticipation burning in his gaze.
But as the light faded, his hopes were dashed.
There stood Gu Qingfeng, untouched as before.
"Enough. This farce ends now."
Gu Qingfeng had lost all patience for toying with Sima Tiancheng. Step by step, he advanced toward him.
"No! This can’t be! What’s going on?! DIE!"
His conviction crumbling, Sima Tiancheng fired blast after blast from his starborn eye in desperation.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yet it was all futile. Gu Qingfeng strode forward like an unshakable demon god, his overwhelming aura defying the onslaught as he advanced relentlessly through the storm of starlight.
Finally, he loomed over Sima Tiancheng, his massive shadow engulfing the man.
Panic seized Sima Tiancheng. His face contorted with fury and terror as he screamed, "I am the personal disciple of the Stellar Dissolution Ancestor! The wielder of the Great Zhou Heaven Stellar Physique! How can I lose in this backwater place?!"
He lashed out wildly, his fists a blur of destruction.
The void trembled under the barrage of punches, each strike accompanied by thunderous echoes of the Great Dao, a desperate, all-out assault.
But Gu Qingfeng merely raised a single hand, his movements leaving countless afterimages as he effortlessly blocked every attack.
"Why… why is this happening? I am—I am—"
"What you are doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ll soon be a corpse." Gu Qingfeng’s voice was ice-cold, his eyes gleaming with a sinister crimson light.
Sima Tiancheng met that gaze—a gaze filled with demonic power so profound it seemed capable of dragging souls into the abyss—and his mental defenses shattered completely.
The sheer demonic pressure was tangible, crushing his Dao heart into dust.
This was no surprise. When it came to demonic might, none surpassed Gu Qingfeng. Having rampaged across the world for years, he had become a sovereign of demons, absorbing countless monstrous powers. The moment he unleashed his true demonic nature, ordinary cultivators would lose themselves just by meeting his eyes.
Terror drove Sima Tiancheng to flee, but before he could move—
A massive hand clamped down on his wrist, halting him mid-strike. Sima Tiancheng thrashed in horror, trying to break free.
"Let me go! My master is the Stellar Dissolution Ancestor! If you dare—AHHH!!!"
Gu Qingfeng activated Devour Heaven and Earth, and Sima Tiancheng’s agonized screams filled the air.
He felt his painstakingly cultivated mana being siphoned away like a tidal wave, the sensation akin to having his flesh flayed and his marrow drained.
He begged for mercy, just as his junior disciples had once pleaded with him.
But his fate was sealed—he would join them on the road to the Yellow Springs.
"Please! Spare me! SPARE ME!"
"Wait—I remember now! I know a place where you can find information about the Tear of the Stars! Just let me go—"
"No need for trouble. I’ll extract the answers from your soul myself."
In the end, Sima Tiancheng—the peerless genius of the Stellar Dissolution Sect—was reduced to ashes.
Through soul-searching, Gu Qingfeng obtained what he sought.
It turned out that the disciples of the Stellar Dissolution Sect had gathered for the once-in-ten-millennium Seven Stars Assembly.
The Seven Stars Assembly was a grand event held in the Sixth Star Ruins whenever the seven celestial stars aligned. Elite cultivators from all major factions would attend, making it one of the most significant gatherings in the Sixth Star Ruins.
The source of information Sima Tiancheng had mentioned was none other than this assembly, as it drew the most influential figures of the Sixth Star Ruins, ensuring a wealth of intelligence.
Beyond this, Gu Qingfeng also scoured Sima Tiancheng’s memories for details on the Stellar Dissolution Art.
Once he fully comprehended the technique, ecstasy surged through him.
Every prior assumption about the Stellar Dissolution Art had been correct!
The art was indeed a formidable method for refining stellar energy—the very reason the Stellar Dissolution Ancestor dominated the Star Ruins.
However, its one flaw was that the converted stellar energy could only be used temporarily, not retained permanently.
In the Star Ruins, battling the Stellar Dissolution Ancestor was a losing proposition, as his power was nearly limitless—he could continuously convert stellar energy for combat. But once expended, it was gone, requiring re-conversion for future use.
To permanently assimilate stellar energy, one needed the Great Zhou Heaven Stellar Physique—a natural constitution capable of commanding stellar forces.
Though Gu Qingfeng lacked this physique, he possessed something far superior—the Star Extremity Law!
A law bestowed by an Immortal King, allowing him to disregard even stellar storms. It utterly eclipsed the so-called Great Zhou Heaven Stellar Physique.
By combining the two methods—first converting the power of the stars through the Star Transformation Art, then perfectly fusing it with the unique properties of the Star Pole Law—the resulting effect would undoubtedly be greater than the sum of its parts!
It might even allow one to directly devour the energy of a stellar tempest, using it to strengthen oneself!
