Soon after, the sound of air tearing behind him came rushing forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chariot of gnarled white bones, wreathed in swirling black mist, flew in from the distant horizon and arrived within mere dozen zhang, its three black-robed demonic disciples now faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu had no intention of wasting words; he flicked a finger in a seal, and a crimson fireball materialized before him. He muttered incantations and pointed with his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball split into two, two into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen… He shook his sleeve, and all the fireballs surged forth in a dense barrage toward the white bone chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suicide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white bone chariot did not slow. One of the three on board roared in fury, raised a hand, and a shadow shot out, flaring in the wind to become a giant centipede, ten feet long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monstrous insect’s body was covered in thick, glossy black carapace, its underside writhing with countless tiny limbs. The moment it manifested, it opened its maw and spat a wave of black light, swallowing every fireball whole, then whipped its tail and lunged viciously at Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared, momentarily stunned, then his face twisted with strange amusement. He flicked another seal and spat a single word: “Boom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant centipede’s body swelled several times its size before bursting open. A mushroom-shaped fire cloud erupted skyward, blurring the air within a hundred meters, as if trapped inside a furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My spirit insect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Soul Sect disciple who had released the centipede screamed, blood gushing from all seven orifices, collapsing instantly into unconsciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two paid no heed to their comrade’s shattered spiritual sense. They leapt from the chariot: one a middle-aged Daoist priest in black robes, a jet-black iron sword strapped to his back; the other a cold-faced young man, cradling a white bone demon statue with two horns sprouting from its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the air around them burned fiercely, they ignored it entirely, staring at the massive fire cloud with clear astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wang Yu raised his hand and gripped the fire cloud with five fingers. A vast wave of red light surged forth and sank into the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, roaring flames surged from within the cloud, crashing down toward the two men with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold-faced youth snorted, slapped the white bone statue in his hand. Instantly, the statue’s arms moved, lifting upward in a supporting gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.” A pale, milky light barrier suddenly appeared above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea of fire was halted, unable to descend further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the middle-aged Daoist priest flicked a seal. A jet-black light shot from behind him, vanished in a flash, and appeared before Wang Yu—then blurred into a torrent of freezing light sweeping toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu was startled, but the next moment, a deep crimson light shield formed over his body. The freezing light crashed against it with a clang, yet failed to pierce it by even a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was the black-robed Daoist’s turn to be stunned. He tried to change his seal—but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s arm shot out like lightning. A massive hand wrapped in golden sand mist snatched the black iron sword from within the freezing light. His arms thickened abruptly, and he prepared to snap the blade in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hummm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black iron sword trembled and hummed—but proved astonishingly resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the middle-aged Daoist, still controlling the sword remotely, turned pale and spat a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu paused, then reacted instantly. One hand gripped the hilt, the other clenched into a fist and hammered the blade’s shaft seven or eight times in rapid succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.” “Puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike caused the Daoist to spew another gout of essence-blood. After a few blows, he arched backward and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground—unconscious, his life or death unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the cold-faced youth still held the statue aloft, preventing the fire sea from falling, watching silently—showing no intention to save his comrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t move earlier?” Wang Yu casually stuffed the iron sword into his storage pouch and asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I? You're just a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivator. Do you think you deserve to team up with me and those two useless guys?\" the cold-faced youth sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re not a waste?” Wang Yu asked, expressionless, unsurprised that the man had seen his cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you’re dead, you’ll know the answer.” The cold-faced youth laughed wildly—then Wang Yu suddenly raised his hand and slapped the fire sea above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire sea surged violently, engulfing the nearby white bone chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious Black Soul Sect disciple instantly turned to ash. Even the white bone chariot glowed red-hot, softened, and melted into a pool of liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you really want to die this quickly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold-faced youth roared in rage, shoved the white bone statue into his own body, and growled: “White Bone Devil Body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the youth bent forward, his face contorted in agony. White, glistening bone spines erupted from his spine, and white bone scales surfaced across his skin. His body began to swell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he reached out and grasped the air toward the youth. The fire sea reversed course, engulfing the cold-faced youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked another seal. Flames surged inward, coalescing into a thick pillar of fire rising toward the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh. Upper-grade Fire Spirit Root, eh? Your fire spells even carry a trace of Semi-Polar Flame power. But such strength may work on ordinary sect disciples—it won’t touch my White Bone Devil Body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the fire pillar came the cold-faced youth’s mocking voice. No sooner had he finished than the flames split apart, and a monstrous figure burst forth like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few blurs, it reached Wang Yu’s side—giving him no time to cast. Four thick arms rained down like a storm upon the deep crimson shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous crashes echoed continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic figure blurred wildly around Wang Yu, each of its four arms striking like a giant hammer, shaking the crimson shield violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu was initially startled, but seeing the shield unharmed, he relaxed. He flicked another seal. Twelve crimson spiritual runes appeared on the shield’s surface, then burst into roaring flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monstrous figure recoiled instantly, landing steadily several zhang away, revealing its grotesque true face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared through the shield, a chill creeping into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold-faced youth now stood over two zhang tall, his entire body sheathed in thick bone armor, with dozens of foot-long bone spines jutting from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skull, save for his eyes, nose, and mouth, was entirely covered in white bone scales. Two long, jet-black curved horns protruded from either side. Worse still, behind his towering frame, two additional thick white bone arms had sprouted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5ee3c888e4761645246c5205cb94078b0f3cb28b84f4631bf993c2ec8e9c191f","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-113","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-111",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
