down his forehead, across his tense jawline, finally dripping onto the scorching Star Map bronze plate, instantly evaporating into a wisp of blue smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire mind, all of his will, had transformed into countless invisible threads, probing into the gradually forming shadow of the Star Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an extremely meticulous and incredibly dangerous task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Gate was not just a simple door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a living entity, intricately woven from countless space laws, star trajectories, and energy nodes, complex to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any deviation in energy input, any error in node alignment, could lead to the instantaneous collapse of the entire structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequence would be the Heavenly Desperate Cliff and the surrounding hundreds of miles being torn to cosmic dust by a raging spatial storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Luo Qingchen’s Sea of Consciousness, the Chaotic Power was operating at an unprecedented speed, deducing and simulating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the structure of the Star Gate stabilizing bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vortex leading to the unknown world was gradually transitioning from illusion to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at this critical and undistracted moment, an extremely faint, yet sharp and piercing discordant sound suddenly penetrated his sensory network, merging with the entire altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discord did not come from the violent energy of the Star Gate itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did it come from the earth-shattering battle on the external battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with deliberate, meticulously disguised, cold, and malicious killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This killing intent lurked at the edge of the altar, like a venomous snake waiting for its prey to pass, concealing all its aura, leaving only those deadly fangs, gleaming coldly in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s heart suddenly sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An internal traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, in this place, there was actually an internal traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be distracted to look, nor could he spare extra thoughts to think about who the other party was or why they were doing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his strength had to be used to maintain the opening of the Star Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a tightrope walker on an enormous cliff, holding up a heavy mountain with both hands, unable to make any unnecessary movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan stood behind Luo Qingchen, holding the glowing Array Plate in her hand, her forehead also covered in fine beads of sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was responsible for fending off those ancient restrictions that were passively triggered by the altar’s energy waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, spatial rifts appeared out of thin air, and beams of pitch-black Silent Destruction Divine Thunder were intercepted accurately by the golden shields composed of runes she created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attention was also highly concentrated, unaware of the danger coming from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Wan’er, holding the Green Vine Whip, stood further out with Bai Ling’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her duty was to protect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protect Luo Qingchen, protect Su Xiaowan, and protect the core of the entire ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vigilant eyes scanned the surroundings—Heavenly Desperate Cliff’s scattered rocks, the rolling mist—any slight stir couldn’t escape her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the killing intent was too well hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a drop of ink falling into a pitch-black lake, silent and traceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the altar, a youth dressed in the ordinary Inner Sect Disciple’s attire of the Qingyun Sect hung his head, blending amidst a team of disciples who came to support and maintain vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Wei Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Sect, he was an inconspicuous existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His talent was average, his cultivation mediocre, usually silent and never engaging in disputes, nor did he attract any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew he was one of Fang Zhenxiong’s death warriors secretly cultivated over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mission was only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was to deliver the most fatal blow to Luo Qingchen and the Qingyun Sect at the most crucial moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Fang Zhenxiong was imprisoned, these death warriors went further underground, waiting for new orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, the order was issued through a channel they couldn’t resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wei Cheng’s eyes, there was no fear, no hesitation, only a dead calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a precise machine, waiting for that one and only opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just above the altar, a space rift as thick as an arm appeared with a screeching sound, slashing fiercely towards Su Xiaowan’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most powerful restriction that had appeared today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan’s pupils contracted, and she immediately gathered all the Array Plate’s power to conjure out three heavy golden shields in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s attention was drawn by this violent space rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Cheng moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements didn’t stir a single breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glided over dozens of feet like a shadow close to the ground, appearing at the altar’s edge in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, a completely black, three-inch-long crystalline spike appeared, resembling a sharp needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit-breaking Mysterious Crystal Needle].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a vicious Magical Treasure, with no inherent lethality, but it contained an energy within it that could instantly trigger chaotic energy at Spiritual Energy nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it struck the Star Map bronze plate, it could in a fraction of a second, explode the immense Star Force operating within the bronze plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequences would be a hundred times more terrifying than the Star Gate collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Star Map bronze plate, this ancient treasure, would be blown into its most primitive particles along with Luo Qingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Cheng’s arm muscles suddenly tightened, and with a flick of his wrist, the black spike transformed into a nearly invisible black line to the naked eye, silently shooting toward Luo Qingchen in the center of the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, two of his companions behind him also sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target wasn’t Luo Qingchen but Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two sharp Sword Lights came with a determination for mutual destruction, sealing off all escape spaces for the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their goal wasn’t to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to win even a fraction of a second for Wei Cheng’s fatal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this happened in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As fast as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s reaction seemed to transcend time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he sensed that killing intent, he had already made preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could mobilize strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure and chaotic power working furiously in his Sea of Consciousness, he forcibly split out a strand of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one strand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the extraction of this strand brought a needle-pricking pain into his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow of the Star Gate, which was stabilizing, suddenly trembled violently, with initial signs of collapse appearing at its edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two streams of blood trickled down Luo Qingchen’s nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single strand of grey chaotic power, like a living serpent, swiftly spread over the altar’s surface through his connection with the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t attack Wei Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its target was the flying black spike in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound so slight it was as if it were a hallucination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grey chaotic power wove around the [Spirit-breaking Mysterious Crystal Needle] with pinpoint accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no earth-shattering explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black spike, upon contact with the chaotic power, seemed thrown into a fire of ice, quickly melting and decomposing from head to tail, ultimately evaporating into an imperceptible wisp of blue smoke, dissipating into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Cheng’s pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His formerly confident expression froze instantly, replaced by endless bewilderment and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t comprehend it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did his attack, even though it was unleashed, disappear into thin air?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Luo Qingchen, even without opening his eyes, manage to achieve this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan’s reactions were equally swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing those two deadly Sword Lights, Lin Wan’er snorted coldly, brandishing the Green Vine Whip, which instantly transformed into a proliferation of whip shadows, like green pythons, striking first to bind the two assailants along with their Flying Swords tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1352,"2026-06-03T12:45:05.802Z","2026-06-03T12:45:10.071Z",1,"novelbin.me","d2b6f2bf3bdd31bac7ff0d180d1407d0bbcaa103f2de44fc7f581dcb684f8650","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-2027","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-2025",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
