So-called demon stars, unlike the undead, are another kind of anomalous species transformed through special chemical mutations over time. Their cells autonomously sprout consciousness, and with prolonged accumulation, their ambition grows. Small planets no longer satisfy them, hence their penchant for invading adjacent ones.
Ming Zhitian's Immortal Eye perceived this: "This world… is about to change."
The Ten Directions Divine Emperors, originally investigating powerful invaders on the Star Soul Continent, had to temporarily set aside their mission due to the large-scale invasion of demon stars. They decided to deal with them first.
Ming Zhitian wished to understand this place first. With a leap, he ascended into the sky, only to witness the grim reality of the demon star invasion.
Caught in troubled times, women were the ones who suffered. Ming Zhitian, deeply worried about the Star Empress, unleashed his divine sense and Immortal Eye to search…
Suddenly, a reckless demon star lunged towards him!
Ming Zhitian instinctively waved his hand! The demon star was instantly shattered.
He paused slightly: "Are the beings here too weak?"
He looked at his hands: "Divine Emperor Realm, tenth level? Why?"
Ming Zhitian, disbelieving, struck a towering tree with a palm! The tree was cleaved in two and fell.
"Indeed."
This world possessed spatial rules, and all strong individuals were suppressed to the tenth level of the Divine Emperor Realm. Ming Zhitian was no exception, and his ocular techniques failed him. As he continued to scan his surroundings, he discovered that his dual pupils were being shielded by something.
"What kind of mighty being created this boundary? It can even block me."
The earlier impact had drawn many demon stars closer. Just as Ming Zhitian was at a loss, greatly concerned about the Star Empress's situation, he summoned his supreme divine weapon, the Wujian (Swordless), and swung it horizontally!
"Boom boom boom!..."
Dozens of demon stars were felled by the gale-like sword energy…
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine! Two powerful figures flashed past.
Ming Zhitian turned around just as a demonic voice, filled with laughter, echoed: "Hehehehe… How dare these mere demon stars act so recklessly? They even sullied the name of our Heavenly Demon God Cult. Truly detestable! Good children, exterminate them all!"
"Divine King Realm, eighth level? But who is he calling a child…"
A figure clad in a green cloak, moving like a ghost, swept through the area, slaying demon stars one by one. They fell from the sky like rain.
"Teleportation… Teleportation…"
The speed was so immense that Ming Zhitian could not discern the figures with his naked eye. Perhaps only the Immortal Eye could see through it, but it was precisely this world that had forbidden it.
"Uncle Bat, is the little child powerful?"
As they spoke, all the demon stars were dispatched by the duo. A small child, dressed in a bellyband and appearing rather unkempt, stood suspended in mid-air, holding a half-eaten skewer of candied hawthorn.
The man in green patted the child's head: "Good child, well done. But you're so messy, and you've eaten so many sweets. You'll surely be scolded by the Cult Master when we get back."
The child stuck out his tongue, hastily discarded the remaining candied hawthorn, and with a reluctant glance, turned to the man in green, smiling slightly:
"Uncle Bat, you're the kindest. If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, how will the Cult Master know, right?"
The man in green shook his head helplessly, pinched his cute nose, and said, "You are truly mischievous. No more of this next time."
The child giggled happily, "Thank you, Uncle Bat!"
The two chatted away, completely oblivious to Ming Zhitian's presence.
The man in the green cloak finally sensed Ming Zhitian's existence. He quickly shielded the child behind him. Upon closer inspection, he relaxed his guard, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:
"I am Mo Yixiao, the Azure Dragon Guardian of the Heavenly Demon God Cult. I greet you, senior. I did not expect your arrival and thus failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive my ignorance. May I ask which of the Ten Directions Divine Emperors you are?"
