With the help of Ancient Blue Star’s life and laws, Zhang Lingfeng could now carry out interstellar travel. Even without having touched Space Law, he could still drive it through Soul Power and Law Power, swiftly surpassing a host of Dao Seed powerhouses. At this moment, an Outer Star Domain starship entered the Black Water Star Realm, and Zhang Lingfeng rapidly caught its fluctuation.
A starship that could cut across star domains usually generated a power fluctuation comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators, even surpassing many Nascent Souls.
That rumbling roar seemed to be swallowed by the boundless starry sky.
But in Zhang Lingfeng’s senses, just as he was about to touch the Black Water Star Realm Law Power and prepare to drive his Power to penetrate into the Black Water Star Realm, it was clearly visible.
"Outer Star Domain starship."
"Could it be a powerhouse sent by the Alliance?"
Zhang Lingfeng felt puzzled.
Whether it was Shen Rufeng’s starship or those of other star-domain powerhouses, when entering the Black Water Star Realm they all needed to report in.
Even Zhao Rushuang had to rely on the Upper Alliance’s help to drive her starship into the Black Water Star Realm; otherwise, if she suddenly barged in, she would be regarded as an invader by the Black Water Star Domain Alliance.
At that time the Black Water Star Domain Alliance could openly deploy all kinds of hot weapons and, disregarding all consequences, wipe the starship out in the starry sky.
So this starship should be one sent by the Upper Alliance.
Only the Upper Alliance’s starships could come and go freely, without suffering attacks from the Black Water Star Domain Alliance.
"To break Shen Rufeng’s Law, does the Black Water Star Realm really have such a talent?"
"I remember Zhang Lingfeng only just became a Soul Master not long ago; only recently did he obtain the title of youngest Soul Master in the Basic Star Realm. To say his Soul Power is at Perfection and on the verge of metamorphosis, I absolutely do not believe it."
"Master, why have you been silent all this time?"
Inside the starship, a woman who had comprehended a Dao Seed and whose Soul Power had reached Perfection Level asked.
Black Zhou remained silent. As someone whose Soul Power had undergone a second metamorphosis, his Soul Power could condense Great Divine Techniques and even attempt to break the balance of Great Divine Power.
His Divine Soul was so strong that, although it could not envelop the whole Black Water Star Realm, if anyone was watching him, even across tens of millions of kilometers, he could still capture it.
He discovered—
At the target location, above Ancient Blue Star, there was actually a lifeform whose gaze pierced the starry sky, through layer after layer of firmament, staring right at their starship.
"Although Zhou Hong has come into contact with Divine Skill, his Nascent Soul has yet to undergo Divinity Transformation and he has not truly stepped into the Third Major Cultivation System. With his strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to catch the movements here.
Could it be Qiankunzi.
After a Soul Power’s first metamorphosis, one can condense Small Divine Power.
But even for him, at this distance, he shouldn’t be able to capture these disturbances.
Much less while being on Ancient Blue Star, rather than Ronado Star.
Could there be a powerhouse on Ancient Blue Star that I don’t know about?
"It can’t possibly be Zhang Lingfeng, right? If Zhang Lingfeng had that kind of ability, why would Qin Tiancang need to invite me out of seclusion?"
Black Zhou’s heart was filled with doubt.
"What terrifying Perception, it seems to be that powerhouse whose Soul Power has undergone a second metamorphosis, able to condense Great Divine Techniques and even break Great Divine Power’s balance—Senior Black Zhou!"
"I just don’t know whether the Divine Power naturally carried within his Nascent Soul—’All Things Born’—can withstand the shock of his Soul Power."
Zhang Lingfeng withdrew his gaze.
There is always a higher mountain.
Black Zhou’s ultra-sharp Perception made him realize that, before he had fully grasped the Black Water Star Realm Law, quite a few powerhouses from the Outer Star Domain could threaten him.
There was no need for Divinity Transformation powerhouses to personally take the field.
And once he stepped out of the Black Water Star Realm and entered the legendary Intermediate Star Realm—for example, the Shen Country Star Realm—this little bit of Ability of his might count for even less.
"Who exactly is it?"
Black Zhou frowned.
After Zhang Lingfeng withdrew his gaze, that point of Life Light on his body merged into Ancient Blue Star, into its hundreds of millions of lives. Even if Black Zhou’s Soul Power had undergone a third metamorphosis, at such a distance he could not lock onto Zhang Lingfeng with a single glance.
Possessing Dao Seed-level strength and having comprehended Mother Star Law, Zhang Lingfeng still could not stand shoulder to shoulder with Black Zhou, but if they fought atop Ancient Blue Star, Zhang Lingfeng would not necessarily suffer much loss.
The starship flew on.
Before entering the Black Water Star Realm, Zhou Hong’s side received the news.
"So it’s him!"
Qiankunzi suddenly understood.
He had heard of Black Zhou’s reputation before; he was also a renowned Stellar Wanderer. He hadn’t expected that one day the other would descend upon the Black Water Star Realm.
Just then—
The Shadow Alliance erupted in a huge commotion.
Bai Xinhe, who was waiting for news within the Shadow Alliance, finished reading the contents and quickly used a Teleportation Array to return straight to Titan Star, then took another Teleportation Array to Ancient Blue Star.
"Shen Rufeng has posted a bounty of one hundred million Spirit Stones for killing Zhang Lingfeng, plus a Tribulation Crossing Stage favor."
Bai Xinhe said, voice trembling.
Zhang Lingfeng’s penetration of Ancient Blue Star Law had exceeded sixty percent; after this exposure, Mengba’s bounty was withdrawn.
Shen Rufeng had no choice but to personally post a bounty for killing Zhang Lingfeng: a reward of one hundred million Spirit Stones, plus a personal favor.
All along—
In the eyes of cultivators of the Basic Star Realm, Integration Stage great powers were all supreme existences. Even those who had, by the blessing of Great Divine Power, managed to have their Nascent Soul undergo Divinity Transformation, still felt an impulse to prostrate themselves before Integration Stage cultivators.
Much less someone from the Shen Family.
That famous Shen Rufeng.
And the target of his assassination bounty was merely a cultivator of the Basic Star Realm.
The immense profit made countless people restless.
"Master, please allow me to enter the Black Water Star Realm. This disciple will definitely bring back Zhang Lingfeng’s head."
Zhao Rushuang was only Shen Rufeng’s registered disciple, and just one among them.
At Shen Rufeng’s side, there were many disciples whose talent far exceeded Zhao Rushuang’s—for example, his Entry Level disciples or Direct Disciples.
The figure kneeling outside the Palace at this moment was named Li Kuangdao, Shen Rufeng’s Entry Level disciple, who had mastered both Small Divine Techniques and Great Divine Techniques, and could refine multiple layers of Law Power into Skills.
And merge both Small and Great Divine Techniques into those Skills.
His Nascent Soul was on the verge of Divinity Transformation.
He only lacked the final point of Divine Technique enlightenment.
His strength was far greater than Zhao Rushuang’s, by an unknown margin.
"Very well."
Shen Rufeng’s voice resounded from deep within Li Kuangdao’s heart.
To use an Entry Level disciple in exchange for Zhang Lingfeng’s life posed no problem for Shen Rufeng.
In fact, after Li Kuangdao left—
One of his Direct Disciples brought a panicked Nascent Soul cultivator to the front of the Palace.
"Master, the person you requested is here."
The Direct Disciple, Yan Tong, bowed and said.
"This little one pays respects to the Divine King!"
Mo Sha knelt at the Palace gate, trembling all over, even his Divine Soul shuddering.
Shen Rufeng’s gaze locked onto Mo Sha.
Under the operation of Law Power, it was as if he could see Mo Sha’s origin of life, confirming that Mo Sha was a lifeform born within the Black Water Star Realm.
"This king will bestow upon you a chance, helping your Nascent Soul undergo Divinity Transformation. In return, will you do something for this king?"
Shen Rufeng said with a smile.
"To serve the Divine King, this little one would die a thousand times without regret!"
Mo Sha kowtowed.
He had been imprisoned in the Fire God Star Realm, his freedom restricted by the Zhang Family. Then he had suddenly been snatched away, forced out of the Basic Star Realm, into an Intermediate Star Realm, and brought before Shen Rufeng’s Palace.
All along, he had wanted to enter the Shen Country Star Realm and serve the Shen Family; he hadn’t expected to be personally received by Shen Rufeng.
"I want you to return to the Black Water Star Realm and kill Zhang Lingfeng, to throw Ancient Blue Star’s Law Order into chaos and make Ancient Blue Star’s life completely vanish."
Shen Rufeng said.
He feared that Zhang Lingfeng might truly be the chosen of heaven, able to be reborn on Ancient Blue Star even after his soul was scattered. To make absolutely sure, he not only had to kill Zhang Lingfeng, but also annihilate all life on Ancient Blue Star.
"Ah?"
Mo Sha was stunned.
Slaying Zhang Lingfeng and eradicating all life on Ancient Blue Star were not the same concept.
But under Yan Tong’s gaze and Shen Rufeng’s imposing might, Mo Sha knew he had no choice. Shen Rufeng had already torn his face with the Alliance; even if he killed Mo Sha right now, the Alliance could do nothing.
"Bang!"
"I’m willing!"
Mo Sha kowtowed.
"Very good. Don’t worry, I won’t let the Alliance harm you. Once you complete the mission, I will immediately bring you into the Shen Country Star Realm and use the Power of the Stars to help you remold your Golden Body, letting you change your face entirely so that even the Alliance cannot touch you."
Shen Rufeng said with a smile.
"Many thanks, Divine King. This little one would die a thousand times without regret!"
Mo Sha cried out, voice choked.
