Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Qingli Palace still tangled with the black beast, occasionally using its proximity advantage to intercept fragments of “Star Source Fruit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, those blue comets abandoned this region and broke out toward other directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again?

So stingy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behemoth roared and voluntarily shifted the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it knew well that killing or even seriously injuring the Lord of Qingli Palace was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sole purpose was to distract, while opportunistically gathering more Star Source Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the core of the tree-like galaxy stood a colossal tree hundreds of light-years tall, lush and verdant, its canopy glittering with blue dots like countless stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!

Here, it’s a bounty; there, it’s proof of merit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kui Lan seemed unconcerned: “Besides, you saved my life. When you asked me to act, I already accepted the worst outcome… Hah! Now, no matter what, it’s better than the worst, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True…” Xiao smiled: “I’m off to gather Star Source Fruit and meet up with other human experts. Stay careful… and though I can’t confirm it, Star Source Fruit is definitely valuable—try to collect as many as possible, of course, only if your safety isn’t compromised…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… bountiful harvest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s true body remained low-key, only occasionally snatching passing “comets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, as the secret realm neared its end, he had gathered six Star Source Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My strength among the entering Fa-Zhu should be decent—I’ve worked hard and diligently… yet only earned six. Clearly, hard labor leads nowhere…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivation avatar killed and looted relentlessly, could teleport—huge advantage… collected over a hundred Star Source Fruits and returned already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he lingered too long, Fang Xing feared becoming a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his true body had no such problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he prepared to head to the rendezvous point, a voice suddenly echoed through the Tai Xu Universe: “Save me… I’m being hunted by a Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur of the Beast Civilization! Who’s closest? Help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This work has been compiled and uploaded~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing looked over and recognized the Ox-Head Fa-Zhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Ox-Head Fa-Zhu’s coordinates, he immediately transmitted: “I’ll save your life—for four Star Source Fruits. Deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ox-Head Fa-Zhu gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My true body is arriving immediately—you still have time to sign a Tai Xu Universe contract with me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing smiled faintly: “If you don’t sign the contract, I won’t lift a finger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’m not like some people…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ox-Head Fa-Zhu nodded frantically, sending over a contract authenticated by the Tai Xu Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing glanced at it and signed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the Ox-Head Fa-Zhu sprinting desperately toward him, pursued by a terrifying dinosaur-like beast with four forelimbs and two powerful hind legs—exactly six claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Fang Xing, save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ox-Head Fa-Zhu screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur roared and slammed one claw downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson mountain materialized—Blood Origin Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That claw, impossibly condensed, carried unimaginable force and shattered Blood Origin Mountain into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Law of Force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s eyes gleamed: “The final component of Pan Wu Dao requires integration of partial Law of Force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Dari Rulai Dharma Body silently emerged, forming a giant nearly as tall as the Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur, and slammed a palm forward—Dari Rulai Divine Palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blazing sun appeared, engulfing the Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur in terrifying light and heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn human Fa-Zhu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur roared, tearing the sun apart with its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every inch of its body was a perfect embodiment of raw power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tearing apart the sun, the Six-Clawed Tyrannosaur turned its gaze to Fang Xing: “You’re decent… survive six claws, and I’ll spare you today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing laughed heartily, summoning the Great Sun Tathagata Body; the terrifying Great Sun Buddha formed the Dharma Seal of Meditative Absorption, and the Great Sun Dharma Realm crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding starry sky vanished, replaced by a single, eternal, indestructible Great Sun, standing above infinite time and space, beyond any description by color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the enhancement of the “Eternal Great Sun King Mantra,” all of Fang Xing’s previous techniques linked to the “Great Sun Tathagata Mantra” surged in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Buddha Arahant extended five-colored arms and five-wheel fingers, merging them into a single palm that descended upon the six-clawed Tyrannosaur Beast’s head — it was the “Buddha Head Defilement”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash! Crash! Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing met claw with palm, enjoying the fight immensely: “This six-clawed Tyrannosaur Beast isn’t ordinary — in strength, it’s likely among the top of Third-Rank Dharma Lords…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! You have a powerful treasure protecting you — I’m no match for you; fighting you is too disadvantageous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dozens of claw strikes, the six-clawed Tyrannosaur Beast retreated on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one reaches the Dharma Lord realm, even beasts grow exceedingly cunning and rarely risk their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing made no pursuit, watching as the beast departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing too much power now would benefit him nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he had shown was merely the standard of a rank 999 on the Starry Sky List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Dharma Lord Fang Xing — here are four Star-Source Fruits…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ox-Head Dharma Lord flew over, his demeanor far more respectful, offering four Star-Source Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing accepted them without modesty: “Thank you — my mission is finally complete…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, my mission is doomed to fail — my source fluid allocation will be halved now; I’ll have to cut back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ox-Head Dharma Lord waved dismissively: “Still, even without this, I don’t think I could gather ten anyway — this mission’s too strange; there seem to be too many variables…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s face was solemn, but inside he was smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had secretly taken over a hundred of the original thousand shares — of course it now seemed like too many monks and too little porridge…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1681,"2026-06-20T11:03:22.760Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e4be058677106d4a974affefe3a902a7d65901423e137ce0b7ddb364eb8c6896","starlight-professional-chapter-531","starlight-professional-chapter-529",726,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarlight-professional-cover.jpg"]
