I trust only the blade in my hand—but having a place to test my learning against other fifth- and even sixth-rank Dharma Lords isn’t bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed into a streak of light and vanished swiftly into the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him lay countless black holes, cleaved open…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless white hairs stretched across the universe, connecting different planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of these white hairs stood an ancient elder, white-haired and wrinkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes—his pupils were compound insect eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jin’s Secret Realm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another chance to harvest fine slaves. I wonder—if my current soul cultivation is sufficient to enslave a fifth-rank Dharma Lord?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired, wrinkled elder slowly rose, and the countless white hairs instantly retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the tips of those hairs stood numerous terrifyingly powerful figures—all Dharma Lords!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking out, there were no fewer than a thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand Dharma Lords—even if merely first- or second-rank—when formed into a battle array, could force even fourth- or fifth-rank Dharma Lords to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, whether human, colossal beast, or energy lifeform, all these Dharma Lords moved in perfect order, like a disciplined army, surrounding the white-haired, wrinkled elder with insect eyes, advancing toward the extraterrestrial battlefield…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extraterrestrial Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-colored mountain raced forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Blood Origin Mountain halted, revealing Fang Xing’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the coordinates where the secret realm’s entrance should be, his face filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the endless starry sky, he saw a three-headed, six-armed giant seated in meditation, a vast galaxy vortex beneath him like a meditation cushion; each of his fingers seemed to crystallize into a planet, teeming with countless powerful beings cultivating and praying, granting the giant boundless wisdom, courage, and insight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. All Dharma Lords of the Star Civilization, gather here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword-shaped spacecraft approached, from which emerged a giant clad in white robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite sword qi radiated from his entire body; standing there, he was the very embodiment of the Sword Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honor to the Master of Ten Thousand Swords!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the Dharma Lords bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. What you see is a manifestation of Elder Han Sen, the Eternal of our Star Civilization!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master of Ten Thousand Swords, whose forehead bore a faint sword scar, spoke calmly: “Since the appearance of the Transcendent’s Secret Realm, all three Eternal Ones left Eternal Marks at the entrance… but gazing directly at the Eternal Marks of the Insect Queen Mother and the Primordial Beast Ancestor would harm you more than help… Thus, Elder Han Sen has manifested this form to shield the other two Eternal Marks…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing stood among the Dharma Lords, listening patiently; occasionally glancing, he noticed Ruid and Lüta were also present, their expressions visibly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master of Ten Thousand Swords… can even Eternal Ones not forcibly enter the Secret Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Dharma Lord asked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally. The Secret Realm left by a Transcendent is beyond our comprehension.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master of Ten Thousand Swords gave a definitive reply: “Your entry now is a supreme opportunity. Since high-rank Dharma Lords have nearly fully comprehended their Dao, they lack the malleability of lower-rank ones. Thus, our civilization summoned you here—to enter the Secret Realm and seek fortune. This, too, is a kind of opportunity. Additionally, our Star Civilization has already deployed millions of Twelve-Rank soldiers into the Secret Realm—but so far, they’ve found nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, you may enter the Secret Realm… Remember, the Jin’s Secret Realm is extremely dangerous—you must face Dharma Lords from the other two peak civilizations…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though you may be resurrected upon death, if too many perish, you won’t know how long you’ll have to wait in line…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master of Ten Thousand Swords did not say this, but he had tried several times and confirmed that Dharma Lords who perished in the Secret Realm could be resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, within the Secret Realm, there might be special zones where death is final—even resurrection cannot restore you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, one must never underestimate the methods left behind by a Transcendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the fact that Eternal Ones can resurrect fallen Dharma Lords might be merely the Transcendent ‘Jin’s’ mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master of Ten Thousand Swords, for your explanation. We understand the gravity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dharma Lords bowed, then flew en masse toward the three-headed, six-armed seated giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing glanced around and realized the number of Dharma Lords present was truly immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed every Dharma Lord in the Star Civilization without a mission had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed something and saw a red thread arrive, coalescing into a handsome Dharma Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Prison Divine Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s heart jolted at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Blood Prison, you’ve finally arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Master of Ten Thousand Swords was delighted—another fifth-rank Dharma Lord meant greater odds of securing the legacy: “Enter quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Prison Divine Emperor’s awareness swept over Fang Xing, but treated him like a stranger, then flew to the three-headed, six-armed Eternal manifestation and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red thread surged into the chest of the manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a swastika mark glowed; as the red thread touched it, it vanished—clearly teleported directly into the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘From the Master of Ten Thousand Swords’ attitude, this Blood Prison Divine Emperor is no ordinary figure… but he’s surely focused solely on the legacy…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing sighed inwardly and flew toward the swastika symbol. Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he passed through the Secret Realm’s entrance, he finally saw the side previously obscured by the Eternal manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a colossal primordial beast, and a massive, blood-red structure resembling a beehive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were shrouded in golden light, appearing hazy and indistinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fang Xing could react, he found himself in some distant part of the Secret Realm, facing boundless starry space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Random teleportation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing oriented himself, then immediately commanded Blood Origin Mountain to race toward the Jin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier Dharma Lords entering the Secret Realm had been like headless flies, slowly scanning at light speed while using detection devices to search for treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the legacy had appeared, the goal was clear—they could move at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the shared map from the Tai Xu Universe, I’m currently in zone ‘d43,’ neither too close nor too far from the Jin Continent… I must pass through two dangerous zones: ‘Xu Jinsan’ and ‘Kongliu River’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one by one\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Along this path, I’ll inevitably encounter Dharma Lords from the other two peak civilizations—combat will be commonplace…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect—I’ll test my current combat strength and newly developed secret technique…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I needn’t rush… Dharma Lords’ perception of time differs vastly from ordinary beings, let alone Eternal or Transcendent ones… a legacy might last ten thousand, even tens of millions of years… I, a mere youngster under two hundred years old, simply cannot comprehend it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jinsan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a newly formed mountain, appearing somewhat illusory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More terrifyingly, both sides of the mountain were entirely engulfed by Xu Jin Annihilation Currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xu Jin Annihilation River surged endlessly; Xu Jinsan resembled a ‘bridge’ across it—without crossing this mountain, there was no other path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Xu Jin Annihilation Currents could destroy the bodies of fifth-rank Dharma Lords!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, on the narrow slopes of Xu Jinsan, Dharma Lords clashed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the Queen Mother’s command, guard all passageways—do your best to weaken human and primordial beast reinforcements…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mantis-like insectoid waved its dual arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its arms were blades, each swing imbued with complete laws of wind, razor-sharp enough to slice through any Dharma Lord’s law-formed body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More terrifyingly, beside this mantis insectoid stood human and primordial beast Dharma Lords as bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the combined assault of several Dharma Lords, a snow-white, two-headed leopard-like primordial beast shrieked, both heads wailing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, it lowered its head: “Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Another third-rank Dharma Lord captured—‘Two-Headed Wind Cloud Leopard,’ naturally adept in two laws, excellent potential…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mantis insectoid was satisfied: “I’m only a fourth-rank Dharma Lord—the Jin Continent is the stage for fifth-rank ones. Better to focus here, blocking reinforcements, earning military merit, and acquiring powerful slaves…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue setting up the formation. Hmm… this time, let’s jointly deploy the ‘Heavy Water Realm.’ I’ll trap every Dharma Lord who comes here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mantis Dharma Lord pulled out a precious artifact—a pool of liquid, radiating chilling cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once deployed, it instantly enveloped millions of miles of Xu Jinsan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky filled with blue-green currents, slowing all intruders and radiating a chill that seemed capable of freezing souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect. The trap is set. Now, wait for prey to fall in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mantis insectoid vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-colored mountain soared above Xu Jinsan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Those currents?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing immediately spotted the ‘Heavy Water Realm,’ but it was an open strategy—anyone wishing to cross Xu Jinsan must pass through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured, and Blood Origin Mountain transformed into a blood-red robe, draping over himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second-rank Blood-Stripe Golden Beast King emerged, tilting its head upward and letting out a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the power of Panwu Great Dao enhancing it, this second-rank Beast King now wielded the combat strength of a third-rank Beast Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out a shriek and charged straight into the Cold Water Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of water immediately wrapped around it, hindering the Blood-Stripe Golden Beast Emperor’s movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, an ancient, extreme coldness erupted, striking at the Beast Emperor’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood-Stripe Golden Beast Emperor roared, raised its right claw high, and brought it crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden patterns surfaced along its claw, tearing through the void for tens of thousands of li in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Insect Clan, unwilling to witness this, commanded the Two-Headed Wind-Cloud Leopard to slip forward; its two heads continuously spewed the Laws of Wind and Cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the Heavy Water, Law Lords repeatedly struck out, launching coordinated assaults against the Blood-Stripe Golden Beast Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1672,"2026-06-20T11:03:22.760Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b1b5043e2a2d0948bf05f3df065f94a532e115dd97527a2eac33b89005bf0257","starlight-professional-chapter-552","starlight-professional-chapter-550",726,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarlight-professional-cover.jpg"]
