“I should have slapped this little caterpillar into ashes. All right. Although this little caterpillar’s essence spirit remains, my heart finally feels some comfort.” Duan Gantai clapped his hands together as if it was only a trivial matter.
“You’re looking for death….” Yue Chengfei’s anger started to overflow. He felt so angry that even his hair began to stand up. Even so, he did not immediately attack but looked at the blond man standing beside him. Based on Duan Gantai’s attack, Yue Chengfei understood that he could only match Duan Gantai if no one helped him. He simply wouldn’t be able to stop this person from leaving.
The blonde man standing next to Yue Chengfei didn’t expect that Duan Gantai would dare launch a sneak attack to kill Yue Chengchong. He snorted and spoke up with a cold tone, “He’s looking for death.”
“Are you from Yue Clan too?” Duan Gantai, as if nothing happened, looked at the blond man and casually asked.
The blond man stared at Duan Gantai with a cold gaze and said, “Remember it well, my name is Eddie, from Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain. Yue Chengfei is about to become the Starry Sky Heavenly Emperor of Striking Order Starry Sky. And you killed Yue Chengchong in Striking Order’s Lucky Heaven City. No matter where you come from, only death awaits you.”
Hearing that the blonde man came from Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain, Duan Gantai frowned and did not continue speaking. It showed that he held some reservations about Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain.
But before the blonde man could continue, Ning Cheng spoke up with an ice-cold tone. “Regardless of wherever you came from, get the fuck out of here. As for Yue Chengfei, I have a few questions for you.”
In Eddie’s opinion, Duan Gantai was already crazy enough, Yet, unexpectedly, he met a fellow even crazier than Duan Gantai.
Had this kid gone insane? How could he dare to curse at him despite knowing his background?
No matter the patience and endurance Eddie had, Eddie’s domain immediately exploded out. At the same time, he also threw out a punch.
Feeling Eddie’s domain blow towards them, Duan Gantai had to stretch out his domain to resist as he stood quite close. If not for his fear of Ning Cheng attacking him, he would have even taken a few steps back to lighten the load.
But Ning Cheng did not take even half a step back; instead, he took a step forward. He simultaneously stretched out his domain and also punched out.
He had a few things to ask from Duan Gantai, so he had intentionally held back during the confrontation with him. In any case, he didn’t want to tear all pretences with Duan Gantai just yet. But against this Eddie from Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain, who tried to snatch the Striking Order Starry Sky, Ning Cheng naturally would not restrain himself.
This punch, in conjunction with the Celestial River Domain, formed into a sealed space. The force compressed everything within it and without any reservation, directed it towards Eddie. If it weren’t for the sake of not letting Duan Gantai see his moves, Ning Cheng would have simply lifted his hand and blasted out with the Time Wheel.
“Boom, snap….” Ning Cheng’s and Eddie’s domain collided an instant later and immediately turned the previously broken rest stop’s entrance into nothingness.
Eddie immediately felt shocked. His domain couldn’t obtain even the slightest advantage. Not only that, but his opponent’s domain also continued to grow stronger at an alarming rate.
“Bang….” Another violent impact erupted. The next moment, Eddie felt as if countless Axe Shadows and Spear Shadows had slammed into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. Even his spiritual soul had started to struggle under the violent killing intent.
Eddie’s fighting spirit instantly scattered. Feeling horrified, he kept asking the question to himself,
who the hell was this fellow?
Not only was this fellow’s domain not worse than his, but even that seemingly ordinary punch contained two different killing intents. If that wasn’t enough, he felt as if Ning Cheng’s fist had even sealed the space around him. As long as he relaxed even a little, Ning Cheng could simply let the sealed space explode, wiping him out of existence.
A mouthful of blood flowed into Eddie’s throat, but Eddie swallowed it by force. After taking a few gasps, he asked in shock, “Who are you?”
Although they had only exchanged a punch, Ning Cheng understood that he couldn’t kill Eddie without a dragged-out battle, especially while keeping his cards hidden. Forcibly calming his turbulent aura, he then gave a cold reply. “Who is this emperor? It’s not your turn to ask. Let Chuan Xinlou come out and say those words to me personally; otherwise, get the fuck out the Striking Order Starry Sky. It’s not even your Levelled Heaven Emperor Mountain.”
Hearing Ning Cheng addressing himself as ‘this emperor’, and calling Chuan Xinlou’s name directly, Eddie’s expression turned heavy. However, he still tried to keep a calm face despite feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Eddie and Ning Cheng had exchanged only a move. Even though the two didn’t use any spirit techniques, Yue Chengfei still felt as if someone had poured ice-cold water over his heart.
He couldn’t understand when Striking Order Starry Sky obtained two new powerhouses. One was already on par with him, but the other one didn’t even put Eddie in his eyes. This fellow even directly called out Chuan Xinlou’s name.
Duan Gantai, however, felt even more shocked. He already knew that Ning Cheng was an extremely powerful individual. But he did not expect Ning Cheng to have such an insane level of power. If he had to go against Eddie, although he could fight, he would lose after a few rounds and would have had to escape eventually.
Eddie stared at Ning Cheng for a while, and then suddenly a name popped up in his head.
Mysterious Yellow Sect’s Sect Master Ning Cheng.
He had never personally seen Ning Cheng, but even he couldn’t count the number of times he heard about Ning Cheng’s deeds. He had heard from others that Ning Cheng wasn’t afraid of Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, and had even fought with Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor more than once.
A person who fought against Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor more than once, yet still alive, and not even losing a bit. Even if he had to think with his toes, he understood what monster of a person he was currently facing.
“I get it, so it’s Sect Master Ning of Mysterious Yellow Celestial River. No wonder you’re so powerful. This Eddie truly acted disrespectfully.” After Eddie realised Ning Cheng’s identity, he immediately felt relieved. He felt quite afraid of losing to an unknown fellow. With Ning Cheng’s prestige, a person so powerful that he didn’t even fear Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, how could he pay any attention to Eddie? Even if Ning Cheng told Eddie to fuck off, it wouldn’t become a big deal.
Ning Cheng, Sect Master Ning?
Yue Chengfei, however, felt even more shocked than Eddie. Although he didn’t know that Ning Cheng had a grudge against Yue Clan, he had heard of Ning Cheng’s reputation a long time ago. Moreover, after deciding to let the Yue Clan return to Striking Order Starry Sky, he specifically gave orders to everyone. Not to provoke one person under any circumstances, the person named Ning Cheng.
But now they haven’t even established themselves in Striking Order Starry Sky when they seem to have already started a feud with Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng simply ignored Eddie, who still was standing in shock on the side. He didn’t even answer Eddie’s words. Instead, he set his sights on Yue Chengfei, “Is your last name Yue?”
Yue Chengfei quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists before speaking, “Yes, I’m Yue Chengfei, from Culmination Starland’s Yue Clan. Greetings Sect Master Ning.”
He took things seriously at this point and directly omitted the words ‘this emperor’ while speaking.
“Does your Yue Clan still want to take control of Striking Order Starry Sky?” Ning Cheng spoke with a calm tone.
Yue Chengfei felt extremely uncomfortable hearing Ning Cheng’s words an
d tone. But he still spoke up, but with even more caution, “We didn’t know that Sect Master Ning was still in Striking Order Starry Sky. Otherwise, I would have never offended Sect Master Ning. My Yue Clan and I will immediately quit any thoughts over Striking Order Starry Sky.”
Seeing Ning Cheng in Lucky Heaven City, Yue Chengfei quickly made a realisation. He thought that Ning Cheng wanted to take over Striking Order Starry Sky. Although his Yue Clan was the largest Talisman Clan within the starry skies, he still did not dare to start a fight with Ning Cheng.
As for Aunt Xu, who stood behind Ning Cheng, she felt a surge of blood rushing through her body, and looked at Ning Cheng with extreme respect. She would have had to hang her head low and carry out orders against her will till her death, but now the entire scene had reversed the moment Ning Cheng arrived. The person who she would have had to bow down and serve just a few moments ago now stood in front of Ning Cheng with his head bowed and speaking in a low voice.

Ning Cheng behaved as if he never heard Yue Chengfei speak about giving up on Striking Order Starry Sky. Instead, his tone turned even more chilly, “Your Yue Clan originally came from Striking Order Starry Sky’s Die Yuan Star, right?”
“Yes, Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor had invited us, and Striking Order Heavenly Emperor also knows about it.” Sensing that Ning Cheng and Striking Order Heavenly Emperor had a close relationship, Yue Chengfei remained cautious with his words.
Ning Cheng’s tone remained impassive, “I heard that Yue Clan has a person named Yue Yangzhi. Where is he now?”
“Yue Yangzhi?” Yue Chengfei immediately started recalling all of Yue Clan’s outstanding disciples. It took a while, but he still couldn’t remember a person named Yue Yangzhi.
“Let this Emperor help you. Yue Yangzhi came from a place called Ink Essence Star. He brought a 5-elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin, which you then gave to a genius from your Yue Clan, named Yue Huangfu.” Ning Cheng’s tone grew colder with each word.
Yue Chengfei, even if he turned into an idiot, immediately realised that Ning Cheng and Yue Clan had a deep grudge with each other. It was this person who killed Yue Huangfu.
Ning Cheng saw Yue Chengfei’s expression change and spoke up with an increasingly cold tone. “You guessed it right. Yue Huangfu died at my hands. The Ink Essence Star’s Yue Clan, should be your Yue Clan’s branch, right? My wife sent many raw materials to your Yue Clan just to get them to refine a talisman. But your Yue Clan killed my wife under Yue Yangzhi’s leadership and took my wife’s 5-elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin…….”
Yue Chengfei’s blood ran cold. He didn’t answer Ning Cheng’s words at all. Instead, he immediately raised his hand and shot out a bright light. At the same time, he shouted, “Yue Clan, immediately leave Culmination Grand Starry Sky. Big enemies….”
Ning Cheng snorted. Bringing out a long spear, it immediately gathered an endless amount of killing power around it. The energy was so dense that a dark space formed in front of it, about a hundred meters in diameter.
Ning Cheng didn’t immediately use his kill shot. He first wanted to know Yue Yangzhi’s whereabouts.
Yue Chengfei roared. In the next moment, both his hands created many mudras. Each mudra then transformed into endless runes. After only a few breaths, a dense world of runes formed around his body.
Yue Clan’s apex-level spirit technique, Spirit Rending Myriad Talisman.
The long spear in Ning Cheng’s hand twisted, and the infinite killing power gathered by the long spear transformed into one strand of spear intent after another. These spear intents, like tongues of flames in the sky, quickly tore through the Spirit Rending Myriad Talisman that Yue Chengfei had not yet fully activated. It forced the numerous killing talismans, entrapment talismans, spirit sealing talismans, explosion talismans and thousands of other talismans to explode prematurely.
The exchange between Yue Chengfei and Ning Cheng created a scene like that of a fireworks explosion, drowning the entire Lucky Heaven City in shining colours.
Just at this very moment, a horrifying aura suddenly filled the entire place. Sensing this aura, everyone understood what Yue Chengfei wanted to do and immediately started to retreat.
Aunt Xu turned even paler. She knew that if Yue Chengfei self-detonated, it would result in countless deaths and injuries within Lucky Heaven City. It might even destroy the city.
An Eternal cultivator’s self-detonation, even one at the early-stage Eternal Realm, was not something a city could block.
As for Yue Chengchong in his essence spirit state, he couldn’t help but tremble in horror. He had just come out of seclusion, so how could he have ever expected such a situation? Yue Clan’s Clan Head hadn’t even started fighting, yet he chose to self-detonate.
Who the hell did his Yue Clan offend?
At this moment, why would he even think of his previous condescending behaviour? Therefore, when Yue Chengfei’s death-filled aura blew over, he did not retreat. Instead, he directly rushed into it.
In any case, he was only a word away from death. Better to have an immediate end rather than wait for others to kill him.
Yue Chengfei only felt hate bubbling up inside him. He had just reached the Eternal Realm not long ago. Yet someone pushed him to the point of initiating self-detonation. He hated Ning Cheng’s strength, but he hated that Yue Yangzhi even more. An ant from a low-levelled interface had created such a powerful enemy for his Yue Clan. He also hated the fact that just when Yue Clan obtained the opportunity to rise to prominence, someone threw them into an abyss.
No one could understand the unwillingness in his heart, as advancing to the Eternal Realm was only a secondary thing for him. Yue Chengfei knew that as long as he had some more time, he would become the premier Talisman Emperor within the starry skies. As long as he had the time, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to achieve complete mastery over the Dao of Talismans. However, he understood that he would never get to enjoy this prestige, that’s because his Yue Clan offended someone who they shouldn’t have crossed.
Ning Cheng didn’t expect Yue Chengfei to be so decisive that he would choose to blow himself up. However, he didn’t back away. In any case, he couldn’t let Yue Chengfei blow up Lucky Heaven City.
In the next moment, Ning Cheng materialised the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and took a step forward.
The Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort transformed into a massive fort in the sky that overflowed with thunder and lightning that instantly targeted Yue Chengfei. “Boom-boom-boom….” Endless sounds of explosions shook the city.
The celestial essence explosion and the thunder rays from the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort collided together, creating a bright blast of fireworks along with a horrifying thunderous roar.
It took more than a dozen breaths before the rumbling sounds finally disappeared. However, the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort still overflowed with thunder and lightning and remained suspended above Lucky Heaven City. Yue Chengfei, on the other hand, had vanished without a trace. Except for the place when Yue Chengfei self-detonated, which created a deep crater, the rest of Lucky Heaven City remained untouched.
Duan Gantai, standing not too far away, felt even more worried at this sight. He vaguely felt that Ning Cheng hadn’t even shown one-tenth of his strength. Even in that scenario, Ning Cheng managed to counter quickly. If Ning Cheng fully utilised his power, just how powerful would he become?
After a moment, his eyes immediately filled with determination; it didn’t matter how powerful Ning Cheng became. Once he, Duan Gantai, took everything from Ning Cheng, who would ever dare to go against him, Duan Gantai? As for Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor? Even he would have to retire to someplace pleasantly cool.
Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain’s Ai Di also remained silent. Ning Cheng’s power had exceeded his wildest expectations. He had heard that after Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor reached Dao Confirming Realm, Ning Cheng could only reluctantly take a move. But the strength displayed by Ning Cheng today did not belong to someone who could face only one attack from Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor.
Ning Cheng put away the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and stared at the female cultivator who came with Yue Chengfei. “Are you also from Yue Clan?”
This female cultivator only had a Heaven Seated cultivation. But when she heard Ning Cheng’s words, she unconsciously shivered and quickly replied, “This junior is not from Yue Clan. This junior is Suo Zihui from Demon Domain Grand Starry Sky. This junior came to Culmination Grand Starry Sky on Senior Ai Di’s invitation. Plus, this junior has another task, to send out a few auction invitations for my Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce. If free, Senior can also come to my Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s auction. This time, Master Yi Cang will personally precede over our Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s auction. Moreover, this auction will include many starry sky treasures.”
Ning Cheng didn’t know anything about Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce, so Aunt Xu standing behind Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up. “Senior, Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce is the premier Chamber of Commerce within the Devil Domain Grand Starry Sky, co-founded by Yi Cang and Zeng Tajiang. Its master, Yi Cang, is a late-stage Eternal expert and its deputy master, Zeng Tajiang, is a middle-stage Eternal expert. Moreover, Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s reach far surpassed that of our Striking Order Chamber of Commerce.”
Ning Cheng nodded and asked Suo Zihui, “What are the main starry sky treasures in this auction?”
Suo Zihui bowed and replied. “A few Spirit Artefacts, Brahmic Ocean Deep Silk, Single Essence Heavy Water, Starry Sky Radish Grass, Repairing Heaven Beginning Essence Pill….”
Ning Cheng had only asked casually, but Suo Zihui’s words truly surprised him. He had never heard of so many good things appearing in one auction.
