Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 840: Chapter 835: First Arrival at the Star Palace

Star Palace.

In the gold and white disk, inside a spacious metal room, two figures—a man and a woman—stood shoulder to shoulder, expressions full of interest on their faces.

The Qi traces of both the man and the woman were exceptionally massive, and their appearances were flawlessly beautiful. They did not look naturally born at all, instead exuding a distinct, artificially crafted feel. However, without a doubt, their Positions were both at the True Monarch Level. Behind their heads, rings of rippling starlight converged into two Star Maps.

”Is this the Outer Dao from the Profound Spirit Realm?”

The man spoke first. The Star Map behind his head depicted a colorful, fierce tiger with a Burning Fire on its tail. He was precisely the Tail Fire Tiger Star Monarch, under the jurisdiction of the Cyan Dragon Star of the Star Palace.

In comparison, the one behind the woman’s head was the Fang Ritu.

She chuckled. Her fair face was like fine mutton-fat jade, exquisitely beautiful. ”He is just a native in the end. I can sense the astonishment in his heart.”

Right in front of them, an Array was inscribed. At this moment, Dharma Light surfaced, turning into a light screen that reflected Lü Yang’s figure. He was looking left and right with a look of amazement, which made the two feel even more disdainful. ”The Outer Dao is the Outer Dao after all. Just a bunch of ignorant country bumpkins.”

”Alright, enough wasting words on this native.”

The woman looked impatient. ”If you ask me, there’s no need to take him to the mother planet. He will only pollute the Spiritual Qi there. Let’s just complete the mission right here.”

”We can’t do that.”

The man shook his head. ”We still need to go to the mother planet. Don’t forget, what we brought this time are main combat Dao Weapons. We don’t have any research facilities.”

”That’s true.”

The woman’s red lips curled up slightly, sketching a cruel arc. ”But if that’s the case, it makes no difference if we beat him half to death before sending him to the mother planet, right?”

”Up to you,” the man said with an indifferent expression.

”Then I will make a move.” The woman immediately rubbed her hands together eagerly, looking at Lü Yang with a burning gaze, as if she were looking at a prey about to be dissected.

”It’s the perfect opportunity. The Dao Weapons we brought this time were meticulously refined by me, and they haven’t been put into actual combat yet. According to the evaluations of those lords above, with the enhancement of these Dao Weapons, I can remain undefeated for a hundred moves against those from the Immortal Pivot at the Early Stage of Golden Core. Now is just the time to test their power!”

The woman couldn’t wait to circulate her Mana.

RUMBLE!

In an instant, Lü Yang saw the gold and white disk in front of him burst with radiant light. Along with it, the steel cluster behind the disk also revealed anomalous phenomena.

Looking out, the entire cluster was actually a single entity.

”Interesting...”

Lü Yang nodded slightly. He thought, ”Is this the Dao of Arcane Power? Taking massive Mana as the foundation, and then utilizing external objects to bring out the advantage of the Mana.”

A very smart approach.

He thought, ”Although it looks like technology at first glance, it actually isn’t. It’s more like an extremely Upper Grade Artifact Refining method, and inexplicably somewhat familiar...”

At this moment, densely packed Dao Patterns suddenly surfaced on the other party’s body, binding toward him as Dao Pattern Chains. Lü Yang saw clearly that these Dao Patterns were extremely similar to Fruit Position Imagery. After interweaving with each other, they actually birthed an imagery bearing the characteristic of ”Banishment.”

He thought, ”They want to capture me directly?”

Lü Yang raised an eyebrow. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped forward. A streak of Thunderbolt Lightning instantly tore apart the Dao Pattern Chains descending upon him.

If Lü Yang were truly an Outer Dao, he might have found this somewhat troublesome.

However, the Outer Dao was merely his disguise. In essence, he was still that Middle Stage of Dharma Body Golden Core possessing all four elements, utterly incapable of being banished by them!

Lü Yang also did not bother to conceal this point.

He thought, ”Anyway, my Cultivation has been completely washed by the Centome. As long as I don’t actively expose it, no one will be able to tell that I cultivate the Dao of Arcane Body.

”At most, they’ll just wonder how I, an Outer Dao True Monarch, have such a high Position.

”This is easy to explain too. I just have extraordinary talent.

”In any case, just based on my aura alone, I look like someone with high Enlightenment.”

Lü Yang had not forgotten his current persona: a genius who grew up step by step in a Little Realm Heaven relying on talent and hard work, ultimately reaching a Void Attainment Position.

BOOM!

Lü Yang activated the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder. Golden lightning instantly illuminated the surrounding Star Sea, completely exceeding the Spiritual perception reaction limit of the two Star Monarchs present.

All at once, the steel cluster, led by the gold and white disk, trembled violently. Elegant Array Patterns surfaced, blooming with Boundless radiance. Under the enhancement of the two Star Monarchs, they erupted with a Vast Ocean of power, attempting to block the lightning. However, by the time they activated it, it was already too late.

The lightning flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

CRACK!

In the next second, large swaths of the steel cluster were pulverized before the Array could even activate or display its Mighty Power, turning into ruins in the Star Sea.

”Native!”

Inside the gold and white disk, the woman, who was the Fang Ritu Star Monarch, furrowed her brows sharply. Under her manipulation, the steel cluster began Gathering rapidly.

Every steel creation was like a muscle, and the flowing Array Patterns were like surging blood and meridians, while the woman’s Spiritual perception acted as the neural signals connecting these creations. Soon, the steel cluster, which had just been in a clustered formation with each part performing its own duty, completely transformed into a single entity.

”Dao Weapon—Radiant Spirit God!”

Star Palace Cultivators mainly focused on the Dao of Arcane Power.

However, compared to Thousand Transformations Magic or Dharma Bodies with high attack and thick defenses, pure Mana, although strong, seemed somewhat Ordinary in comparison.

But the Magical Power Dao Cultivators quickly found a way to deal with this.

That was Artifact Refining and Arrays. Such external objects could maximize the advantages of the Dao of Arcane Power and significantly increase the combat strength of Magical Power Dao Cultivators.

This was precisely the case right now.

”Holy shit... it stood up!?”

Wherever Lü Yang’s gaze landed, the steel cluster from just a moment ago had disappeared, replaced by a towering, gigantic steel Dharma Body.

And right in the center of this steel Dharma Body’s chest was the gold and white disk where the woman resided. The Fang Ritu Star Map was burning fiercely at this moment like an eternal star. The combination of the two actually made Lü Yang feel a Position and Mighty Power approaching that of an Immortal Pivot True Monarch.

This... this is amazing! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

To be honest, Lü Yang had always looked down upon the Star Monarchs of the Star Palace. Strictly speaking, these Star Monarchs were even inferior to the Immortal Monarchs of the Celestial Mansion.

However, now, he changed his mind.

He thought, ”Considering the number of Star Monarchs, if they are paired with these peculiar Artifact Refining methods, in a true one-on-one fight, the Immortal Monarchs of the Celestial Mansion might not necessarily win!”

Lü Yang’s gaze revealed a burning fervor.

With his Cultivation, he could naturally see through the operating principles of this Radiant Spirit God. Simply put, it used Artifact Refining and Arrays to fill in the flaws.

He thought, ”Once reinforced by Arrays, such a steel Dharma Body can completely be used as a true Dharma Body. Apart from not being able to extend one’s lifespan, it has no flaws. The various Dharma Artifacts equipped on it can also take into account the mysteries of Magic. The only problem is that there are too many Arrays, requiring a massive consumption of Mana...”

While Lü Yang was pondering, the other side had already made their move.

RUMBLE!

The Radiant Spirit God lifted its right foot. Countless Dao Patterns condensed on the sole of its foot, dynamically evolving into a seal on the spot before ruthlessly stomping down toward Lü Yang’s position.

”Outer Dao natives deserve to be trampled underfoot!”

A shadow instantly enveloped Lü Yang’s field of vision.

However, in the next second, like sunlight piercing through the night, a streak of golden lightning tore through the sole of the Radiant Spirit God’s foot. The golden radiance shattered apart.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, the storm formed by the shattered golden lightning swept through the surrounding Star Sea. The intense impact immediately drew the gazes of countless onlookers.

”Looks like that won’t work.”

Lü Yang held a fist with one hand high above his head, the corners of his mouth curving slightly. ”Did Daoist step on a nail?”
