Chapter 870: Star Boundary Patterns: Origin Awakening
The sky was ripped into countless fragments. The Burning Star Territory Lord's Burning Heaven Sword, wrapped in annihilating flames, slashed down. The moment Yun Yao raised her hand to block, her entire right arm suddenly lit up with brilliant starlight. Fine, spider-web-like lines flowed beneath her skin, as if a galaxy were surging through her flesh. The moment the scorching blade touched the lines, a sharp, metallic sound of twisting emanated. The Burning Heaven Sword, this supreme treasure capable of severing stars, was now shattering inch by inch on her arm!
"Impossible!" The Star Burning Domain Lord stumbled back, cold sweat soaking through his golden crown. He had seen with his own eyes that Yun Yao was only at the Cave Void Realm, so how could she possess such terrifying defense?
Yun Yao gazed at the astral lines growing on her arm, memories flooding back. The system's mechanical voice suddenly softened, "You thought your 'Ethereal Body' was just a product of Tiandao Pavilion's experiments? Wrong. You are the embodiment of the astral essence. These lines are the imprint of the laws engraved deep within your soul since the beginning of creation."
Before he finished speaking, the Lord of the Burning Star Domain suddenly took out a blood-red token, and scarlet runes danced wildly on the surface of the token: "Since the body is immortal, let your soul fall into reincarnation forever!" A blood-red beam of light shot up into the sky and turned into countless chains that wrapped around Yun Yao's sea of consciousness.
Reversal 1: Backlash of the Origin Power
Just as the chains were about to reach Yun Yao's sea of consciousness, the astral patterns on her arm suddenly blazed with dazzling light. Like thin snow under the blazing sun, the blood-red chains instantly melted into nothingness. Even more shocking, the dissipated chains reversed and coiled around the Burning Star Territory Lord, binding him firmly in place.
"This is... the Judgment of the Star Realm!" The Starburning Domain Lord's pupils suddenly shrank. Legend has it that only those who control the essence of the Star Realm can mobilize its laws and judge offenders. At this moment, Yun Yao's aura grew increasingly powerful. Behind her, a vast star map slowly emerged, with billions of stars flickering and flowing within it.
Reversal 2: The truth about the manifestation of the law
Yun Yao tapped her fingertips, and a crimson star on the star map broke free, plummeting like a meteor. The Burning Star Territory Lord's natal magical weapon, the Burning Heaven Cauldron, exploded. The ancient fire spirit sealed within was forcibly stripped away by the laws of the celestial realm, transforming into a wisp of flame that hovered in Yun Yao's palm.
"How could this happen? My Fire Spirit! This is a treasure I cultivated for a hundred thousand years to subdue!" The Burning Star Territory Lord roared, only to find that his spiritual energy was flowing uncontrollably towards Yun Yao. The astral lines were like greedy tentacles, frantically sucking the power from his body.
Reversal 3: Betrayal and Redemption of Allies
At this moment, another Domain Lord of the Star Realm Council, the Mysterious Ice Domain Lord, suddenly attacked. His Mysterious Ice Scepter pointed at Yun Yao, instantly freezing the surrounding space with a bone-chilling chill. "Although the Burning Star Domain Lord's crimes are unforgivable, if you continue to devour his power, the entire Star Realm will be dragged into the abyss!"
A flicker of confusion crossed Yun Yao's eyes. She could sense that as the astral lines grew, her desire for power was also spiraling out of control. Just then, a familiar presence pierced the air—Chu Mochen, holding the Ni Lin Blood Sword, split the profound ice with his sword energy, shielding Yun Yao behind him.
"Yao'er, don't let power blind your heart. Do you remember our original agreement?" Chu Mochen's voice was low and firm. His palm covered the back of Yun Yao's hand. The power of defying fate and the origin of the star realm produced a wonderful resonance, and those wildly growing lines gradually subsided.
Reversal 4: The Awakening of a New Power
Upon seeing this, the Xuanbing Territory Lord sheathed his scepter and bowed. "I apologize for any offense just now, but I was simply worried about the Star Realm's origin getting out of control. Now it seems that the power of Prince Zhulong and the Star Realm Lord complement each other, and perhaps they can truly create a new order."
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and the astral lines completely disappeared into her skin. She raised her hand and released a soft starlight, healing the Star Burning Territory Lord's injuries. "I will not become the second Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. The power of the astral origin should protect every world, not devour it."
Foreshadowing and turning points
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, the Star Realm's central hub suddenly sounded a piercing alarm: "Divine Realm fluctuations detected! The Original Sin Divine Realm, one of the Three Thousand Divine Realms, is attempting to infiltrate the Star Realm's defenses!" Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a look of determination. They knew a challenge even more formidable than the one they had faced against the Heavenly Dao Pavilion awaited them.
Ending climax
The Lord of the Burning Star Territory struggled to his feet and threw the shattered fragments of the Burning Heaven Sword towards Yun Yao: "This sword was supposed to protect the star domain, but it became a tool of my greed. If you don't mind, use it to protect the true way of heaven."
Yun Yao took the fragment, and the astral lines illuminated once more. The fragments reassembled in the light, transforming into a longsword radiating starlight. She swung the sword, and the astral laws outlined a massive portal in the void. "Let us go, to meet the challenge of the divine realm. This time, we will let all worlds know that their destiny lies in their own hands!"
Chu Mochen put his arm around Yun Yao's waist, and the two of them stepped into the portal side by side. Behind them, the Lord of the Mysterious Ice Territory and the surviving members of the Star Realm Council followed. And in the distant Original Sin Divine Realm, a pair of crimson eyes peered through the cracks in spacetime, observing their every move...
