In the Void Realm corridor, where the Three Realms converged, the calm Void Realm suddenly rippled, as if something was traversing this endless Void Realm. Lu Qingyang, stepping on the remnants of a green lotus petal, lightly passed through a star marrow vortex, his figure appearing and disappearing in the Void Realm.
The roots of the Chaos Green Lotus intertwined in the Void Realm, weaving thirty-six layers of Restrictions, like an indestructible fortress. When the lotus petals gently swept across the Void Realm, several Void Rays, originally hidden in the shadows and spying on Lu Qingyang, were instantly blasted into countless star dust, and in the Shattered Light, the faint illusion of Leng Yuehan deducing star maps in Guanghan Palace was reflected.
Surprisingly, the trajectory of the ice soul hairpin in Leng Yuehan's hand perfectly coincided with the Dao patterns of the green lotus.
Just then, an old shout came from the depths of the corridor: "Fellow Daoist Lu, wait!" The voice echoed like a great bell in the Void Realm.
The Spirit Clan High Priest, leaning on a Dragon Bone Staff, slowly approached, treading on clouds and mist. A mysterious third eye was embedded in his glabella, and it suddenly opened, shooting out a bright light that shone into the depths of Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul.
Under the illumination of that light, the Nine Netherworld Chains entanglement in the depths of Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul were clearly visible, as if a veil had been lifted by the light.
Seeing this, the High Priest smiled slightly and said, "How about this old man using the Spirit Clan's Sacred Spring as a guide to help Fellow Daoist sever this Soul Devouring Curse Mark?" His voice revealed confidence and authority.
Lu Qingyang's lips curved slightly, and with a gentle flick of the copper coin sword in his hand, the dust in the Void Realm was instantly stirred up, condensing into a chessboard. He casually turned the star marrow into chess pieces, placing one on the Tianyuan, and then said, "The High Priest's Heavenly Eye is indeed more thorough than the Witch Clan's Fate Plate."
However, just as the High Priest was about to respond, the chess piece that had originally landed on the Tianyuan suddenly changed, transforming into a Dragon Trapping Formation that tightly locked the Soul-Devouring Insects hidden in the High Priest's sleeve.
Lu Qingyang looked at the trapped Soul-Devouring Insects and said indifferently, "It's just that this bait doesn't seem to live up to the name of the Spirit Clan's Sacred Spring."
The dome of the corridor suddenly shattered, and the Sea Clan Princess, riding a Dragon Whale, broke through the Void Realm. Her trident stirred the Void Realm tides, and the Mermaid Pearl hanging from its tip reflected the scene of Su Meiniang trapped in the Guixu: "Daoist Lu, if you are willing to break my clan's Bloodline Curse, this Princess will immediately inform you of the whereabouts of the Qingqiu Fox Chief!"
"Princess, your Tide Song is more rusty than three months ago." Lu Qingyang suddenly threw out the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, which transformed into a cage, trapping the attacking sea monsters. "Using a phantom sound shell to fake Su Jiejie's Aura, this method..."
Before he finished speaking, the Dragon Whale suddenly opened its mouth and spat out thousands of Sword Qi. The moment the Sword Qi touched the green lotus, Lu Qingyang's figure suddenly blurred, reappearing seated on the Dragon Whale's back: "The Sea Emperor's Void Breaking Sword Qi, Princess, you wield it quite skillfully." His fingertip traced the runes on the whale's back, and the hidden Soul Devouring Formation patterns shattered inch by inch.
The Spirit Clan High Priest suddenly crushed his Dragon Bone Staff, and the Netherworld Ghost Fire that shot out from it condensed into chains: "Since Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't know what's good for him..." The moment the chains touched the Void Realm corridor, the entire space suddenly collapsed into a cage.
"That old man's Nine Netherworld Dark Iron is indeed worthy of my Rebirth Fire!" Su Meiniang's voice came from outside the cage, as nine fox tails burning with green lotus fire tore open the Restriction. The golden bells at the tips of her tails jingled, shattering the lurking Soul-Devouring Insect eggs. "The debt Little Lord owes must be repaid with primeval star shards."
Lu Qingyang suddenly threw out the core of the Ferrying Calamity Boat, and the fragments condensed into a compass in the Void Realm: "Su Jiejie, you've come at just the right time. The interest on these three primeval star shards should be doubled." As the pointer spun wildly, it revealed a scene of the Soul Devouring Sect Master and the Spirit Clan Elder secretly conversing—they had actually carved immortal refining cauldron Formation patterns all over the surface of the primeval star shards.
The Sea Clan Princess suddenly brought out the Origin of her trident, and blood-colored curse marks appeared on the trident's shaft: "Lu Qingyang! You knew all along that my clan's sacred object was polluted by the Soul Devouring Sect..."
"But you didn't know that the Princess is the Formation's eye?" Lu Qingyang suddenly pierced her glabella with two fingers, pulling out a Soul-Devouring Insect entwined with star patterns. "Using the Sea Emperor's Bloodline to nourish the curse mark, this move is indeed worthy of the Soul Devouring Sect Master's status."
The Void Realm corridor suddenly trembled violently, and three primeval star shards rose from different directions. The Formation patterns appearing on the surface of the primeval star shards connected with each other, condensing into a phantom of an immortal refining cauldron in the Void Realm. Within the Primordial Xuanhuang Qi floating in the cauldron, Leng Yuehan's ice Soul Clone was melting.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, did you know that these three primeval star shards were originally yours several hundred years ago…" The Spirit Clan High Priest's words were cut short by a horrific scream. His third eye was pierced through by a green lotus root, like a sharp sword! What flowed from his eye was not blood, but a torrent of concentrated star marrow! "Could it be transformed from the evil corpse I severed?" Lu Qingyang's Nascent Soul, like a shining primeval star shard, suddenly left his body.
The moment the Chaos Green Lotus bloomed, the Primordial Xuanhuang Qi in the cauldron surged back like a raging tide. "Did the Soul Devouring Sect Master not tell you that to refine a Formation with my Dao Fruit, you must first ask if the green lotus agrees?" Su Meiniang's nine tails, like nine agile fire snakes, formed a Rebirth Seal, and the Fox Fire, like a blazing inferno, condensed into the Burning Sky Silk, tightly entanglement around the immortal refining cauldron: "That old man's Void Refining Formation saved Jiejie the trouble of quenching!" In the green lotus fire burning on the silk, the cauldron's body seemed to be torn by countless cracks, teetering on the brink of collapse.
The Sea Clan Princess suddenly crushed the Mermaid Pearl, and the Sea Emperor's essence blood sealed within it, like a powerful force, instantly transformed into a trident: "Lu Qingyang! If you are willing to save my people…" "Princess, can your sincerity be more real than this illusion?" Lu Qingyang's voice, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, exploded in the air, deafening and catching people off guard.
With a wave of his arm, like a meteor streaking across the sky, he fiercely threw the bronze token in his hand. The token spun rapidly in the air, like a dazzling lightning bolt, carrying an unparalleled Aura, like an arrow released from a bowstring, striking directly at the substitute death talisman hidden in the Princess's embrace.
With a crisp cracking sound, the substitute death talisman instantly shattered into countless fragments under the impact of the bronze token, as if it were fragile porcelain, unable to withstand a single blow.
At the same time, the Princess's true body also fell from the Void Realm, and the star pattern chains that had originally entanglement around her neck also broke inch by inch at this moment, like severed spider silk.
And just at this moment, the immortal refining cauldron suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, as if the entire world was torn apart at this instant. With this loud noise, the immortal refining cauldron exploded with a crash, and countless fragments flew everywhere, as dazzling as fireworks.
However, at the moment the immortal refining cauldron exploded, a huge star map suddenly appeared in the Three Realms corridor. The star map, like the stars in the Universe, shimmered with mysterious and dazzling light.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang, without hesitation, stepped on the green lotus, like a green lightning bolt, rapidly ascending to the eye of the Formation. The copper coin sword in his hand also emitted a strong light at this moment, as if infused with endless power.
"You all have been planning for a hundred years, isn't it just to see how I break this death trap?" Lu Qingyang's voice echoed like a great bell in this Three Realms corridor, carrying an indescribable majesty.
With that, the copper coin sword in his hand, carrying the treasures of the three clans, like a burning meteor, directly pierced the primeval star shard.
As the first primeval star shard shattered, the entire world seemed to tremble. And at that instant, the Spirit Clan's Sacred Spring suddenly dried up, and the originally clear spring water instantly vanished without a trace. At the same time, the Spirit Clan High Priest let out a tragic howl, his body instantly enveloped by a powerful force, and then, amidst the howls, he transformed into a stone statue, forever frozen in that moment.
Immediately after, the second primeval star shard also exploded under Lu Qingyang's attack, the power of the explosion as heart-stopping as the destruction of the Universe. And with the explosion of this primeval star shard, the Sea Clan's Bloodline Curse was also broken, and the trident that the Princess had originally held tightly in her hand, at this moment, also seemed to have its Soul drawn out, instantly turning into a pile of dust.
Finally, as the third primeval star shard fell, a long and resonant bell chime suddenly came from the depths of the Void Realm corridor. The sound of the bell, as if from the Underworld Hell, sent shivers down one's spine.
And as the bell rang, the Soul Devouring Sect Master's Clone, stepping on primeval star shard remains, like a demon god walking out of Hell, slowly emerged from the depths of the Void Realm corridor. In his hand, the Myriad Tribulation Banner, already imbued with the Aura of the Immortal Realm, swept in like a black whirlwind.
"Brother Lu, do you know, these three primeval star shards are merely bait." The Sect Master's banner slowly unfolded, clearly reflecting the location of Leng Yuehan's true body in the Guanghan Forbidden Land. That Forbidden Land was currently enveloped by a huge immortal refining cauldron Formation, and the Formation's operation emitted heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
"The true eye of the Formation, in fact, is what you personally sent into Tianshuang Pavilion…" The Sect Master's voice rang in Lu Qingyang's ear, with a hint of playfulness and triumph.
"The ice soul hairpin?" Lu Qingyang's lips suddenly curved into a slight smile. Above his Nascent Soul Dao Platform, the illusion of Guanghan Palace slowly emerged. In that scene, Leng Yuehan was holding the ice soul hairpin, unhesitatingly piercing it into the eye of the Formation. However, the moment the hairpin touched the eye of the Formation, the star patterns on the hairpin suddenly glowed, as if activated, and fiercely retaliated.
"Doesn't the Sect Master know that Su Jiejie's tail fur is best at imitating Immortal Artifacts?" Lu Qingyang's voice was full of sarcasm.
The Soul Devouring Sect Master's pupils suddenly contracted; he clearly hadn't expected this. As he was stunned, the ghostly hand in the banner suddenly seemed to lose control, turning its direction and fiercely tearing at itself.
"You actually used the green lotus Dao patterns to pollute my Myriad Tribulation Banner!" the Soul Devouring Sect Master roared, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.
"The Sect Master spent several hundred years planning, but Mr. Lu merely used a small trick in three days." Lu Qingyang's tone remained calm and unruffled, as if everything was within his control.
Just then, the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly surged, and the tightly closed eye at its lotus heart suddenly opened. A dazzling light of the Heavenly Dao suddenly shot out, shining directly on the Sect Master's body. That light seemed capable of penetrating everything, instantly revealing the Sect Master's true body coordinates clearly.
"Is the Sect Master satisfied with this return gift?" Lu Qingyang's smile grew even brighter. He looked at the struggling Sect Master in the banner, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
The Void Realm corridor began to collapse, and the light beams of the three clan treasures pierced through heaven and earth. Lu Qingyang stepped on the primeval star shard remains and walked towards Su Meiniang: "Please tell Fairy Leng that it's time to reel in the net." The green lotus bud in his palm suddenly bloomed, and what slept within it was actually the refined Origin of the primeval star shard.
In the Void Realm, where the Nine Netherworld Fire had burned out, the furious roar of the Soul Devouring Sect Master faintly echoed. And in the shadows where the Three Realms converged, a pair of star-patterned pupils slowly opened—the true game of the chess masters had just begun.
