Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 869 - 868: Celestial Net Star

Duanmu Lei's cultivation is at the peak of the Saint Dao Third Layer, with combat power even stronger than Hong Yanjun's.

"He has already been teleported away, you can leave now!"

Duanmu Lei spoke indifferently, with a hint of thunder flashing between his brows, as if he were a Thunder God.

"Phew!"

Hong Yanlie took a deep breath, looked at Duanmu Lei, and pleaded, "Please, Elder Lei, step aside and let me smash that Teleportation Array. I am willing to offer half of Black Rock Island to share with you as a token of gratitude!"

The Teleportation Array is the carrier of the teleportation channel, and once it's shattered, everyone being teleported within will be exiled into space rifts, almost ensuring certain death.

"Hahaha, Hong Yanjun, you are truly senile!"

Upon hearing Hong Yanjun's words, Duanmu Lei couldn't help but laugh heartily, then gradually retracted his smile and mocked, "Do you know the value of a Teleportation Array? Even if you sold all of Black Rock Island, you wouldn't be able to afford even a corner of it."

"Elder Lei, are you sincerely trying to block me?"

Rage filled Hong Yanjun's eyes; he was full of hatred, hating his own weak power, unable to match Elder Lei, and hating Chu Ming even more for killing his only son.

"It's not me trying to block you, but the Teleportation Hall belongs to the Nine Elements Dao Palace. If you cause trouble here, Black Rock Island can't withstand that fury!"

Elder Lei's words were exceedingly firm—the Nine Elements Dao Palace was the true overlord in the Celestial Net Star Realm. For a Fifth Grade power like Black Rock Island, a couple of core disciples from the Nine Elements Dao Palace could easily annihilate them.

"It's rumored that Elder Lei's Thunder Power reaches the skies. I don't believe it. Today, let me test it!"

Hong Yanjun's anger was raging and uncontrollable, so he could only roar at Duanmu Lei.

Boom!

Hong Yanjun held a Flaming Spear, with terrifying flames burning wildly on the spear, incinerating the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power.

Swish!

Tear!

The spear was thrown, tearing through the void like a fiery beam, instantly racing towards Duanmu Lei.

"Take this!"

Boom!

Duanmu Lei showed no emotion, holding the Thunder Saber in his right hand, blazing thunder dancing wildly in his eyes. The Thunder Saber sliced through the void, and instantly, bursts of lightning flashed through the air.

...

Inside the teleportation channel, everything around them was chaotic. Chu Ming and ten others stood in a circle of light, with their vision blurred on either side.

"Phew, for now, it should be safe!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. After killing Hong Yanlie, it was obvious that Hong Yanjun would be furious and wreak havoc on the whole Pegasus Star.

Indeed, Chu Ming's prediction was accurate—Hong Yanjun and Duanmu Lei had a fierce battle, neither able to overcome the other. Although Hong Yanjun felt extremely aggrieved, he gradually became more rational.

"Elder Lei, I will remember what happened today!"

Hong Yanjun put away the Flame Destruction Spear in his hand, left a harsh remark to Duanmu Lei, and then turned to leave.

Duanmu Lei's eyes were bright and clear, not taking Hong Yanlie's harsh words to heart. At the Saint Dao Realm, anyone hoping to surpass him in strength would need a tremendous opportunity—nearly impossible for Hong Yanjun.

"Such an interesting young man!"

Duanmu Lei thought of the red-robed youth, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. As a Saint Dao expert, he had long noticed Chu Ming and Hong Yanjun.

The reason he chose to help Chu Ming wasn't for significant returns; he simply wanted to build a good relationship. Besides, helping Chu Ming was a trivial matter for him.

Hong Yanjun left the Teleportation Hall, his face as overcast as frost. Back on Black Rock Island, he sat in a grand and magnificent hall. Below him were eighteen Elders of Black Rock Island. Although there were three Island Masters, the strength of the Great Island Master Hong Yanjun in the Saint Dao Third Layer was the most formidable, far exceeding the influence of the other two Island Masters on Black Rock Island.

"Investigate, find out why Lie'Er went after Chu Ming!!!"

Hong Yanjun smashed the desk in front of him with a palm, roaring madly at the eighteen Elders below.

Although all eighteen Elders were peak Emperor Dao experts, in Hong Yanjun's current fury, he was like an erupting volcano—none of them dared speak.

"Reporting to Island Master, on the day the Young Island Master was in seclusion in the palace cultivating, I saw someone from the Lin Family come over. Perhaps this matter has something to do with the Lin Family!"

A yellow-robed Elder stepped forward, speaking carefully.

"Lin Family? Which Lin Family?"

Hong Yanjun frowned. There were many families on Pegasus Star, and there were seven or eight with the surname Lin, hence his question.

"It's the Lin Family that owns the Ice Rock Ore, a Sixth Grade family!"

The yellow-robed Elder answered.

"Hmph, the Lin Family, Lie'Er's death is absolutely related to them!!"

Hong Yanjun stated with an iron face. In his current state, he desperately needed an outlet for his anger, and the Lin Family was a fitting choice.

...

Swish!

Chu Ming's vision brightened, and then he found himself in a pale blue palace. It was bustling with people, constantly coming and going, yet everything was orderly.

"Is this the Celestial Net Star?"

Chu Ming stepped down from the Teleportation Array and then flew out of the Teleportation Hall.

The Celestial Net Star is the main star of the Celestial Net Star Realm, incomparable to the Pegasus Star in either architecture or scale. Its diameter is seventy to eighty thousand times that of the Pegasus Star, reaching two light-years.

At the very center of the Celestial Net Star, there are nine interconnected Divine Halls, with bowl-thick iron chains stretching from beneath the halls to the ground.

"Is that the direction of the Nine Elements Dao Palace?"

A hint of awe crossed Chu Ming's eyes. To him, those nine Divine Halls seemed like insurmountable mountains, leaving him with no thought of resistance.

Moreover, along the way, he'd clearly sensed a world of difference between Celestial Net Star and Pegasus Star. Whereas on Pegasus Star Emperor Dao experts could be considered mid-tier, on Celestial Net Star, Emperor Dao experts were everywhere. Even along the way, he'd encountered seven or eight Saint Dao experts, each unfathomable, with some auras even more terrifying than Hong Yanjun's.

"In the Cosmos, the Celestial Net Star Realm is just a small Star Domain. Within it, there are no characters above the Divine Dao Fifth Layer. Once you enter a true Divine Kingdom in the future, you'll realize everything you've seen before was just a drop in the ocean."

Seeing the Celestial Net Star, Xiao Ai spoke to Chu Ming, her heart stirred.

"A First Grade Divine Kingdom?"

A glimmer of expectation flashed in Chu Ming's eyes. The Cosmos is vast beyond measure. Although there are the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms on the surface, in the shadows, there are numerous forces that rival them. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Examples include the Land of the Abyss, Spirit Beast Island, and the Hall of All Beings!

The Land of the Abyss is a realm of its own, said to have been created by a Heavenly Dao supreme expert proficient in the path of death. There, the dead can be reborn; it is the realm of the deceased!
