Chapter 328: Sudden Mutation, the Sixth Heavenly Demon

At this very moment!

Li An was holding the Star Tome, having just stepped out of the forbidden ground, when the sky above the Holy Land suddenly underwent a violent change in wind and clouds. The originally clear sky was instantly shrouded by a layer of purple-black cloud layer. Amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, a grand and majestic voice came from the cloud layer: "Hmph, a mere ant dares to presume to be sovereign, killing my beloved disciple. Today I shall trample this Star Holy Land flat!"

The crowd was greatly shocked and looked up one after another, only to see the figure of an old man in a black robe and a golden crown slowly emerge from the cloud layer.

A strange purple glint flashed in his eyes, and a tremendous pressure rolled toward the crowd like an avalanche, as if the surrounding air had frozen solid.

"This is... the Sixth Heavenly Demon's master, the Dark Star Demon Lord!" Yukinoshita Haruno's face went pale, a tremor in her voice.

Li An's gaze hardened. He handed the Star Tome to Yukinoshita Haruno and said in a low voice, "Haruno, I'm entrusting this secret tome to you. You must not let it fall into enemy hands."

Yukinoshita Haruno took the tome and nodded firmly: "Lord Li An, rest assured. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect it."

Li An turned to look at Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yuigahama Yui, his expression resolute as he said, "Teacher Shizuka, Yui, we attack together. Today is the time of death for this Dark Star Demon Lord!"

Having said this, the star power on Li An's body surged wildly. He instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light and shot toward the Dark Star Demon Lord in the sky. With a sweep of the long sword in his hand, a massive star sword qi slashed toward the opponent. Wherever the sword qi passed, space was torn open with black fissures.

The Dark Star Demon Lord snorted coldly, gave a casual flick of his sleeve, and easily dissolved Li An's sword qi. He then formed hand seals, muttering incantations, and a purple-black energy beam shot toward Li An. The beam contained tremendous destructive power. Wherever it passed, the buildings of the Star Holy Land were instantly destroyed, reduced to ruins.

Seeing this, Li An remained unruffled. He executed the "Star Phantom Void Step," his figure weaving through the beams like a phantom. While dodging the attacks, he kept closing in on the Dark Star Demon Lord.

Seeing Li An in peril, Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka let out a sharp cry and charged forward with her long saber. The blade was wrapped tightly in star power, gleaming with dazzling light, as she struck at the Dark Star Demon Lord's flank. Every slash of hers carried an unstoppable momentum; the saber wind howled as if it could split the very air, hacking viciously at the vital points of the Dark Star Demon Lord.

The Dark Star Demon Lord sensed Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka's attack, sidestepped to evade the fierce strike, and at the same time stretched out one hand. Purple-black demonic power surged in his palm, forming a massive vortex of magic that pulled toward Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Yukinoshita Haruno saw the situation turn bad and immediately cast magic. Waving both hands, the elements in the air rapidly gathered in her palms, forming a huge ice shield in front of Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka. Runes flickered across the ice shield, emanating a powerful freezing force that held the pull of the magic vortex at bay.

Yuigahama Yui, meanwhile, exerted herself fully at the rear, casting water-attribute magic to buff defense and healing for Li An and the others. She waved her magic wand like a phantom, and beams of soft blue light shot from the wand, transforming into blue runes that merged into Li An and the others' bodies, greatly enhancing their defense and recovery.

Taking advantage of the instant the Dark Star Demon Lord was being held in check by Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno, Li An finally found an opening.

He drew a deep breath, pushing the star power within him to its absolute limit. The star phantom behind him grew even more immense, like a towering Star War God.

"Stars dominate the world; heaven and earth perish together!" Li An roared. He raised his long sword high, gathering all the star power in his body along with the mysterious power of the Star Golden Orb, unleashing the strongest strike he had ever delivered in his life.

A blindingly brilliant star sword qi shot from the sword's tip. Containing the primordial aura of star power, it transformed into a sky-obscuring Star Dragon that pounced toward the Dark Star Demon Lord.

The Star Dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Wherever it passed, space was utterly shattered, emitting deafening, ear-splitting booms.

The Dark Star Demon Lord stared at this scene in terror, fear showing in his eyes for the first time.

He wanted to dodge, but he was already locked onto by the Star Dragon, with nowhere to escape0......

"No! This is impossible!" The Dark Star Demon Lord let out a desperate shriek, and was then swallowed by the Star Dragon.

Under the tremendous might of the star power, the Dark Star Demon Lord's body instantly turned to dust, dispersing into the air and leaving only a wisp of purple-black smoke.

With the fall of the Dark Star Demon Lord, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and sunlight once again poured down upon the Star Holy Land.

Li An sheathed his long sword and stood proudly in the sky. The star power on his body radiated in all directions, like a true Star Sovereign, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"Hahaha! From this day forth, no one will dare look down on my Star Holy Land!" Li An laughed heartily, his laughter brimming with dominance and confidence.

The women gazed up at Li An in the sky, their eyes filled with adoration and admiration.

They flew to Li An's side one after another, clustering tightly around him.

"Lord Li An, you're amazing! You are the hero of our Star Holy Land!" Yuigahama Yui said excitedly, happy tears glimmering in her eyes.

Yukinoshita Haruno also smiled and said, "Lord Li An's strength has surpassed our imagination. With you here, the Star Holy Land is bound to march toward glory."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Li An on the shoulder, her eyes full of gratification: "Well done, Li An! This time you not only5.5 removed a mortal threat to the Star Holy Land, but also let us witness the true might of star power."

Li An looked at the women beside him, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude: "All of this is inseparable from your Zhichihe Gang. Without you, I could never have accomplished any of it."

The group slowly descended onto the plaza of the Star Holy Land. By now, countless disciples and elders of the Star Holy Land had already gathered on the plaza.

They had personally witnessed this earth-shattering great battle between Li An and the Dark Star Demon Lord, and their admiration for Li An reached its peak.

"Long live Lord Li An!"

"Long live the Star Holy Land!"

The disciples' cheers rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Star Holy Land..
