That saber had numerous lines of divine runes on it. As the old man slashed it down, over half those divine runes lit up.

“Split the Heavens 7!”

A huge saber-image soared into the sky, shaking the cosmos. The river of stars in the sky was cut and seemed to crash down with the saber-image. Long Chen’s heart pounded as he watched this saber-image fall. He sensed a similar will to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art within that blade. It was also ferocious, a domineering will that wished to tear through the heavens.

BOOM!

The old man’s saber landed squarely on the palace master’s Daynight Cauldron. A blinding light exploded along with divine energy.

Fortunately, the two of them collided up in the air, and everyone else immediately fled. If they were struck by those divine energy shockwaves, they would have immediately died.

The Daynight Furnace was blown back, and the palace master coughed up three mouthfuls of blood. With disbelief, he cried, “You’ve taken the next step and reached half-step Netherpassage?!”

All the Life Star experts’ hearts shook. They looked at the old man in shock.

Netherpassage. It was the realm after the Life Star realm. It was the most terrifying realm within the cultivation world.

The reason it was terrifying...
