he stood his ground, no longer dodging, instead forming a hand seal with one hand, muttering incantations as red light surged over his body, the crimson barrier reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone forks and silver needles struck the barrier like rain, all deflected outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instantly, the silver puppet blurred and accelerated, unexpectedly wrapping its arms around Wang Yu’s waist—though the barrier blocked it, countless sharp spines erupted from its chest, frantically piercing the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Wang Yu kicked up his leg, striking the silver puppet squarely in the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver puppet’s lower half snapped clean off and was blasted away by immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that brief delay, the pale yellow humanoid puppet swept in like a whirlwind, its two short blades vanishing as it now held one silver and one golden talisman, slapping them against the barrier with lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu had initially dismissed it, but when his gaze fell on the dense spiritual patterns etched into the talismans, he silently cursed—without thinking, he exhaled sharply, unleashing a blinding white mist that surged outward, while golden-yellow mist rolled from his skin and flames erupted across the barrier, ready to burn the talismans to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was clearly too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.” “Crackle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the golden talisman touched the barrier, it dissolved into countless golden threads spreading across the crimson surface, then flashed once—the barrier and its flames instantly collapsed and vanished; it was a spell-breaking talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver talisman then transformed into a dense web of silver lightning, filling half a zhang with blinding electrical glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the black-robed youth grinned with delight, forming a hand seal with one hand—the three bone forks hissed, their surfaces covered in rolling black mist, surging into the lightning storm and wildly stabbing at the shadow within, yet striking something impossibly hard, producing metallic screeches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the three black-armored fiendish spirits reached close range, rolling green flames and yellow sand surging forward; the largest of them, its body bristling with bony spikes, lunged into the space the moment the lightning flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the fiendish spirit was slapped away with a muffled thud, forcibly hurled backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that—immediately, a “whoosh” sounded as the upper half of the silver puppet was also violently thrown out, its arms gone, most of its head crushed into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a pale golden figure surged out of the lightning zone like a gale, braving the incoming green fireballs and yellow sand, darting forward to slam his shoulder into the chest of the nearby pale yellow humanoid puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly sturdy puppet shattered like a beast had struck it, exploding into countless flying fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale golden figure blurred again, appearing before the other two black-armored fiendish spirits; his arms blurred, and in piercing shrieks, two golden fist shadows flashed out, shattering the heads of both ghosts, turning their bodies into rolling black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man in the black robe below stared, barely believing his eyes—but when he saw Wang Yu’s current form, his pupils shrank sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s body had returned to normal human size, but was now shrouded in a pale golden mist; behind him, the pale golden tiger head had opened its eyes wide, its gaping maw fully extended, revealing several menacing fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even stranger, Wang Yu’s entire skin had turned pale gold, yet dark green patterns surfaced on his limbs, while thick golden lines marked both cheeks like two enormous “Wang” characters; a blood-red symbol glowed clearly between his brows, his eyes sparkled with crystalline light, and faint scorch marks dotted his body—traces of his earlier resistance to the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. You are the first to witness my Black Tiger Demon Body—and the first to die beneath the full power of my Third-Level Breathing Method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared down at the black-robed youth, speaking slowly, his voice emotionless, yet his entire body thrummed with extreme exhilaration—his blood surged at an unbelievable speed, his heart pounded like a motor, every fiber brimming with boundless strength, as if a single punch could unleash tenfold the force he once wielded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tricks and illusions. Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the black-robed youth, though deeply alarmed, snarled and gestured with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three bone forks, previously deflected, let out eerie wails and reformed into a triangular formation, streaking toward Wang Yu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slapped his waist pouch, and dozens of white bone demons—over thirty of them—flew out. He formed a hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the bone demons disintegrated, their countless bones rushing to cling to the giant skeleton, which was instantly sheathed in thick bony armor, now wielding a massive bone sword, several zhang long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed youth’s eyes flashed with malice; he suddenly flung his bone banner into the air, formed a hand seal—and the giant skeleton bowed its head, biting the banner into its mouth, crunching loudly before swallowing it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zi-la.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black patterns, identical to those on the banner, surfaced across the giant skeleton’s bony armor; countless spines slowly emerged, while a black mist curled around the massive bone sword, howling like wailing ghosts—within the mist, three blurred ghostly figures twisted and writhed, unmistakably the three fiendish spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant skeleton’s hollow eye sockets suddenly filled with stark black-and-white pupils, glaring fiercely at Wang Yu in the air—its gaze was unmistakably that of the black-robed youth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","347891cf8d6126a5a136a845597d328f8aee472e6b6bf373a1d7e75e29340be0","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-191","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-189",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
