Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

If the war cannot be fought, there will never be a vacancy in the Ancestral Realm, and these living creatures stuck at the Perfection of the second step of the Tenth Order will find it difficult to take that step to the end of their lives.

Just this point alone would have countless people secretly fanning the flames.

Under the Star Dome, the blood-colored Battle Halberd slightly turned, its blade pointing directly at Shan Jingxuan's forehead, with shattered Space-Time Fragments swirling around the halberd, surging with a strong scent of blood.

"I'll give you three breaths, get back to the Immortal Domain."

Song Lingxue's voice carried an evident chill. At this critical moment, caution was paramount. She needed to buy Chu Zheng as much time as possible.

"Who are you? This place belongs to the Immortal Alliance Territory, and my actions are none of your concern."

Shan Jingxuan's face slightly darkened, with no intention of yielding at all, merely considering her a Martial Emperor.

Song Lingxue gripped the Battle Halberd tightly, reiterating concisely:

"Leave the person, and go."

Shan Jingxuan's face changed slightly, sensing an invisible Martial Path momentum slowly gathering. The woman before him, who appeared suddenly, was not joking, and was ready to strike.

This woman was actually coming for Chu Zheng…

Before he could think more, Song Lingxue had already raised her hand. The Battle Halberd sliced through the Void, pure to the extreme killing intent soared high, and in an instant, she seemed to merge with the Halberd of Destruction, transforming into a scarlet thunderbolt that split the vast starry sky.

The crimson edge of the halberd blade tore through the barriers of space-time, directly aiming at Shan Jingxuan's forehead.

Shan Jingxuan's expression turned slightly stern, his eyes fixated on the blade about to pierce his brow, suddenly raising a hand with a sweeping motion.

A flowing light frantically surged out from the expansive sleeves of his robe, condensing into a shield of nine-color Immortal Light.

The light shield was thin as a cicada's wing but felt as if it were compressed by countless layers of Space-time Law, dense as Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

At the moment the halberd and shield met, terrifying ripples visible to the naked eye erupted violently, instantly tearing the vast Starry Sky Barrier. The Barbaric Star Sea shattered incessantly like a fragile glass mirror, revealing vast chaotic currents.

Crack—

The nine-color Immortal Shield was instantly pierced, and Shan Jingxuan's heart shook violently, feeling an unstoppable, terrifying Colossal Strength spread from his palm.

Bam!

In an instant, it was as if he was struck by an invisible giant hammer, instantly sent flying backward. The Immortal Robe fluttered wildly in the Star Sea, plowing a pitch-black rift extending for billions of miles.

"Cough…"

Shan Jingxuan steadied himself, standing with his hands behind his back, suppressing a light cough deep in his throat. The vast starry sky below him collapsed continuously, dissipating the residual force of that previous strike.

The hand beneath the sleeve trembled uncontrollably, cracks deep enough to reveal the bone stretched across it, and the Emperor's Blood nearly spurting out was forcibly restrained, compressed in the cracked palm.

Shan Jingxuan's face remained as calm as a still well, but within, waves of shock surged.

In just that single breath of an exchange, he was almost defeated, and this woman before him, with merely one move, nearly inflicted serious injuries upon him.

Despite not having used his Immortal Soldier, the vast difference in strength between them was already evident.

This person is absurdly powerful, far surpassing beings at the Perfection of the Mythical Realm, enough to rival a Half Ancestor!

In this instant, Song Lingxue had already reached out to seize Chu Zheng by her side, tearing off the Immortal Lock binding him.

The Heaven-Binding Lock struggled frenziedly but could not escape her grip.

Shan Jingxuan's gaze, as cold as lightning, swept across the woman standing with a halberd, surrounded by bloodthirsty energy as turbulent as a sea of blood. After glancing at the Heaven-Binding Lock in her hand, he did not hesitate in the least, immediately sweeping up the three fainted clan juniors not far away and withdrew from this Star Domain.

If it came down to a life-or-death struggle, he could not protect these three juniors, and he himself was at risk of losing his life.

As for Chu Zheng, he could only fend for himself.

This area was patrolled by the Immortal Alliance, with no fewer than five Immortal Emperors, who could come to aid with a flick of the finger, but he couldn't call for assistance.

The matter today was not one that could be made public; behind Chu Zheng stood the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor had no clans behind, acting without any scruples, and the Punishment Authority was the strongest force in the Immortal Alliance, which he could not provoke.

Shan Jingxuan quickly calmed down, thoughts turning as he began contemplating his following plans.

The woman was clearly from the Martial Hall and had a close relationship with Chu Zheng. If she took Chu Zheng back to the Martial Hall, it might provoke unforeseen changes with the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.

This time, he lost an Emperor Weapon and almost his life, but if he could use this to push the Dao War to start, it would be worth it.

...

...

On a Dead Star in the Barbaric Star Sea.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged, eyes closed to regulate his breath. Under the operation of the Repair Panel, the side effects brought by the Reverse Blood Pill had subsided in the blink of an eye.

Song Lingxue stood not far away, the Heaven-Binding Lock in her hand thoroughly subdued, transformed into an ordinary White Jade Rope, suppressing all fluctuations.

Chu Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, slowly opening his eyes. Upon seeing Song Lingxue, he choked back words, momentarily unsure of what to say.

This encounter had been utterly ridiculous, and if he hadn't contacted Song Lingxue in advance, his situation now would go without saying.

Unbelievable humiliation!

Chu Zheng took a deep breath, subconsciously clenching his palm. This was the first time he felt an indescribable humiliation.

Even if Shan Jingxuan had come to kill him this time, he could have accepted it completely, but this approach was as if he wasn't considered a person at all.

"There are quite a few people watching me nearby. The commotion just now probably attracted a lot of attention. I can't stay for long."
