Chapter 1128 Star Soul Clan

The unexpected emergence of the Bloodspring Demonic Realm left them both feeling somewhat stumped.

With their strength, if they were to be ambushed by the Bloodspring Demon Domain while exploring this ancient star, it would likely lead to unforeseen complications.

Eldrin pondered for a long while before finally unable to resist asking, "What is the current level of strength on this star?"

That day, Immortal Wind did not hesitate before explaining to Eldrin, "This ancient star is named Cangling Ancient Star, once a blessed-land-grade Zhou Heaven Celestial Body."

In that year, when the Immortal Sage of the Great Abyss shattered the Cosmic Star Formation, this celestial star was grievously wounded. Not only did its grade plummet significantly, but the Earth Immortal-level Star Deity within was instantly annihilated.

Thereafter, across hundreds of millions of years, this ancient star recovered from the brink of near annihilation, giving birth to the Star Soul Clan.

"Star Soul Clan?"

Eldrin's gaze sharpened slightly, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes.

Elder Tianfeng gave a slight nod and spoke with considerable gravity, "The Star-Soul Clan is a unique race."

"They are born of converging starlight, innately capable of cultivating through its radiance and harnessing stellar power to strike down formidable foes—yet they possess no physical form."

However, the soul power of the Star Soul Clan was exceptionally formidable. Once they weathered the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, they could cultivate the Astral Body and metamorphose into "Celestial Star Spirits."

9 Heavens Star Spirit?

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly. He had heard some rumors about the 9 Heavens Star Spirit.

This lineage possessed the Stellar Body, born with the power of celestial bodies, their strength rivaling that of ascendants who had transcended the mortal realm to become immortals.

At this thought, Eldrin asked with a tone of considerable gravity, "How formidable is the 9 Heavens Star Spirit upon this ancient star?"

"Not to be underestimated."

Elder Skywind took a deep breath, his expression turning profoundly grave as he spoke, "Back when I had achieved the Great Perfection Immortal Body, I arrogantly believed few in the Ascension Realm could rival me. Thus, I set foot upon this ancient star."

"When I first entered, this old man truly crushed all in my path, seizing several priceless treasures from within."

"Alas, the good times were short-lived. Before this old man could delve deeper, I was besieged by Star Spirits."

At that moment, 7 Star Deities took action, among which were 3 9 Heavens Star Deities at the late-stage Ascendant Realm.

At this point, Immortal Tianfeng said with lingering fear, "If I hadn't already cultivated the Zephyr Divine Body to perfection back then, granting me survival capabilities no weaker than a Ninth-Level Ascension Realm cultivator, I'm afraid I would have perished in there."

"Even so, it was perilous back then. This old man nearly lost his life."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but slightly shift his gaze.

The Liufeng, also known as the Changhe Wind, stands alongside the Xun Wind as 1 of the 8 Cardinal Winds.

That Xun Wind originates from the southeast, while this Xun Wind blows from the west, carrying the metallic essence of the Western Extremity's Gengjin power, possessing a velocity rarely seen in this world.

In his day, Daoist Tianfeng had cultivated the Zephyr Godbody to its peak of perfection, wielding not only overwhelmingly domineering offensive power but also speed that could truly be called peerless.

To think it nearly cost him his life even so. Eldrin’s expression grew increasingly grave, and he could not help but ask.

"Legends say that a perfected Gale God Physique possesses an edge no less keen than immortal gold, and a swiftness that rivals even the Golden Roc."

"Fellow Daoist, with such divine abilities, you actually nearly met your demise within?"

The Celestial Wind Immortal shook his head, a trace of awe and trepidation in his voice. "Once the 9 Heavens Star Spirit cultivates to the late Ascension stage, its Stellar Body can be perfected."

"1-on-1, this old man naturally has no fear, but I cannot guarantee victory against 3 opponents at once."

"And within those stars, an even more powerful aura had awakened back then. Had I not fled swiftly enough..."

At this point, Immortal Tianfeng seemed to recall something, a trace of terror flashing across his face.

He took a deep breath and spoke with a grave expression, "Within this star, there was once at least 1 Star Spirit of the Ninth Ascension to Immortality concealed."

9 Ascensions to Immortality

Eldrin's brows furrowed deeply, an involuntary gravity settling across his features.

With his strength and that of Elder Tianfeng, even 2 or 3 ordinary late-stage Ascension Realm cultivators were no longer a cause for concern.

However, if the enemy possessed a cultivator at the Ninth Ascension of Immortal Ascension, this battle would likely turn into a grueling confrontation—especially since we were fighting on their home territory.

At this thought, Eldrin took a deep breath and gazed toward the Bloodspring Demonic Realm, remarking, "The Bloodspring Demonic Realm has surrounded the Starry Ruins, most likely coveting it relentlessly."

"Perhaps we could try driving the tiger to devour the wolf—force him to assault the Starry Ruins sooner."

Elder Tianfeng nodded upon hearing this, then shook his head. "Judging by the situation, the Bloodspring Old Demon must have trapped these ruins for at least a dozen millennia."

"They hesitate to act, most likely because they lack sufficient confidence. Hence, they’ve been waiting all along for the perfect moment to strike. I doubt they’ll make a move even within tens of thousands of years."

Eldrin nodded slightly, recalling the information he had obtained from the 2 Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators.

Since the 2 Nascent Soul demon cultivators could first remember, the Blood Spring Demon Realm had been preparing for war, ceaselessly forging warships.

This war treasure ship had been continuously refined for countless millennia. The number of sixth-tier war demon vessels accumulated by the Blood Spring Demon Sect was likely no fewer than nearly a 1000—an astonishing foundation of unimaginable depth.

It must be known that during the peak confrontation between the ancient Violet Realm and the Outer Demons, both sides had only deployed a few dozen Sixth-Order war vessels at their zenith.

Beyond this, the few True Devils of the Bloodspring Demon Sect had been roaming the starry skies, seemingly searching for the foundations to annihilate the Star-Severing Soul Clan.

"The strength of this Blood Spring Demon Sect is likely not much inferior to that of the Crimson Dragon Clan."

At this thought, Eldrin murmured to himself, lost in contemplation for a moment before saying, "The Bloodspring Demonic Realm hesitates to act simply because they lack full confidence."

"Secondly, in their eyes, the Star Ruins were damaged, and the Astral Soul Clan trapped within had no means of escape. They had all the time in the world to slowly break them."

“But what if we provoke them, make them feel they don’t have that much time left—what would they do then?”

The Celestial Wind Immortal’s pupils contracted slightly as he responded, “What do you mean by that?”

Eldrin smiled faintly, then clasped his hands behind his back and remarked, "If you were the Bloodspring Old Demon, who inadvertently discovered the celestial ruins left behind by the ancient demon court and patiently guarded them for over a 100 1000 years awaiting the opportune moment to strike..."

But at that very moment, a Fourth-Level Ascension Immortal journeying through the starry skies discovered the Blood Spring Demon Domain and the Stellar Ruins, and managed to plead for his life from your grasp.

"How would you proceed?"

Hearing this, Celestial Wind Immortal couldn't help but clasp his palms and chuckle, "Marvelous! What exquisite stratagems you've devised, fellow Daoist."

With Heavenly Wind Daoist’s keen intellect, he grasped the implication instantly, immediately understanding Eldrin’s (Person Name) intention.

After all, from the Bloodspring Elder Demon's perspective, this Starry Ruins was an incomparably precious treasure—1 that would likely tempt even an Earth Immortal Patriarch.

However, Eldrin was merely a Fourth-Level Ascendant. No matter how astonishing his combat prowess might be, he posed no significant threat and was unqualified to contend for this Starry Abode Ruin.

But if Eldrin were to escape, he would surely gather numerous allies to explore these ruins. By then, the Bloodspring Demonic Realm would likely face grave peril.
