Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

75: Chapter 75: The Secret of the Fallen Star and Breaking Through the Encirclement with the SwordCity Lord Bai He’s pressure was like physical seawater, heavily compressing every inch of space at the bottom of the pit, and the air seemed to become viscous. The four black-clothed Guards dispersed in a tacit understanding, occupying the four directions and faintly forming a battle formation, sealing off all paths of retreat. The Goatee Old Man hid in the back with a smug expression, clearly very satisfied with his ”contribution.”

Late Golden Core Stage! Such a level of cultivation was already an existence that could walk unchallenged in this remote city. Moreover, this place seemed to faintly resonate with his power, further adding to his imposing aura.

Su Muxue gripped the zhenyuan remnant sword, the sword’s body conveying a cool touch and a trace of an unyielding hum. The Profound Yin Power and Lingxiao Sword Intent within her body circulated rapidly, resisting that majestic pressure, as her mind quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Fighting head-on meant certain death. Only by using wit could they perhaps find a sliver of life.

”What does the City Lord mean by this?” Su Muxue’s voice was cold as she forced herself to remain calm. ”We are just Loose Cultivators passing through this place. Seeing the abnormal Star Power in the sky above this area, we were curious and came specifically to investigate. As for any Starfall Land or generational guardianship, please forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of them.”

”Oh? Loose Cultivators?” A playful smile curled at the corner of City Lord Bai He’s mouth, his gaze as piercing as a torch, as if he could see through one’s heart. ”What kind of Loose Cultivator possesses such pure Profound Yin Power and... such a sharp and Vast Righteous ancient Sword Intent? And what kind of Loose Cultivator would be followed by a... hmm? Such a peculiar Chaos Spiritual Object?”

His gaze finally fell on Lin Mo’s light sphere, and a hint of undisguised curiosity and scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and even a very subtle... greed?

”Not to mention, you also specifically inquired about the news of the Tianyan Sect in the Central Plains.” City Lord Bai He slowly took a step forward, his pressure becoming even stronger. ”Let this City Lord guess, you escaped from that damned Burial Ancient Abyss, didn’t you? Recently, the abyss entrance has been fluctuating frequently, with Deathly Stillness Qi leaking out from time to time. To be able to come out of it alive and even run to my City Lord Bai He... Heh, you two truly have no small amount of luck.”

He actually knew about the Burial Ancient Abyss! And he seemed to be quite knowledgeable about it!

Su Muxue and Lin Mo were shocked again. This City Lord Bai He was definitely not as simple as the ruler of an ordinary frontier city!

”The City Lord is wise.” Su Muxue knew that concealment was now meaningless, so she simply admitted a portion of it. ”We did indeed escape from a forbidden land with our lives and unintentionally intruded into your territory, only seeking a path to return to our Sect, with no intention of offending. If the City Lord is willing to grant us convenience, we will surely provide a generous reward.”

”Generous reward?” City Lord Bai He chuckled as if he had heard something interesting. ”Aren’t the most valuable things on you yourselves? Especially that peculiar spiritual object in your arms, its aura... can actually trigger the Core of this Starfall Land. Truly, Heaven is helping me!”

A sharp light burst from his eyes, and his tone suddenly became fervent: ”This City Lord has guarded this place for a hundred years and has never been able to truly refine the Core to obtain the true Legacy of the Star Palace! Today, it is only right that I obtain this Opportunity! Capture them! I want them alive! Especially that light sphere!”

Before his words even fell, those four black-clothed Guards moved simultaneously!

The four figures were like ghosts, their hand seals activating four distinct yet complementary spiritual lights that suddenly lit up, transforming into a giant Spiritual Power Net covered in runes that descended upon Su Muxue! At the same time, the steps beneath their feet shifted, and the power of the battle formation linked together, causing the power of this net to increase several-fold, enough to trap an ordinary Early Golden Core Cultivator!

Clearly, they were well-trained and specialized in Joint Attack Techniques!

Facing such an encirclement, a cold light flashed in Su Muxue’s eyes, knowing there was no more room for maneuver!

She advanced instead of retreating, the Taiyin Origin and Lingxiao Sword Intent within her body frantically pouring into the zhenyuan remnant sword at an unprecedented speed!

”Lingxiao—Evil Breaker!”

She gave a soft cry; this was no longer a rudimentary form made in haste, but a sword move that truly grasped a few points of its true intent!

The zhenyuan remnant sword erupted with astonishing light, and the black-green Vast Righteous Sword Intent soared into the sky, condensing into an incredibly refined and massive Sword Gang. Around the Sword Gang, there were even fine ice crystals swirling, carrying an incomparable sharpness that could slash through falsehood and repel evil as it fiercely struck the descending Spiritual Power Net!

Sizzle—!

Like a hot knife through butter!

That seemingly incredibly solid Spiritual Power Net was actually torn open with a huge gap before the Sword Gang, which contained the cold of Taiyin and the Lingxiao Sword Intent!

The Sword Gang’s momentum did not decrease, slashing directly toward one of the black-clothed Guards!

That Guard’s face changed drastically; he clearly hadn’t expected the opponent’s sword momentum to be so sharp, and in his haste, he sacrificed a Bone Shield to block!

Boom! Crack!

The Bone Shield shattered instantly! That Guard screamed as he was sent flying backward, spitting out blood, clearly having suffered no small internal injury!

Breaking the formation and wounding one person with a single strike!

Su Muxue’s figure was like an arrow from a string, shooting out from the gap in the net and heading straight for the top of the circular slope! Her target was not the City Lord, but the seemingly weakest Goatee Old Man! Only by creating Chaos would there be a sliver of a chance to escape!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

The playfulness on City Lord Bai He’s face finally disappeared, replaced by a hint of surprise and gloom.

”What a powerful Sword Art! To actually be able to break my Four Symbols Entrapment Formation! I truly cannot let you live!”

He no longer stood by and watched, letting out a cold snort as he reached out to grab at the void!

A giant hand condensed from pure Earth-attribute Spiritual Power appeared out of thin air, and on the palm, there were actually dots of Starlight flickering. Carrying a strange force that was as heavy as a mountain yet as ethereal as a star, it covered a radius of dozens of zhang and fiercely grabbed toward Su Muxue! Its speed was far beyond anything before!

A strike from a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator in anger was of earth-shattering power!

Su Muxue felt as if the space all around her was solidified, and before the giant palm even arrived, the terrifying pressure almost crushed her! She gritted her teeth and turned back, the zhenyuan sword once again erupting with its strongest sword light as she struck out with all her might!

Boom!!!

The Sword Gang and the giant palm collided violently!

Su Muxue felt as if she had been hit by a heavy blow, and blood sprayed out again as her body was knocked backward like a kite with a broken string, her direction being precisely the entrance of the half-buried Star Stone Palace!

”Mu Xue!” Lin Mo was extremely anxious!

At this critical moment, he made an extremely risky decision!

He no longer suppressed the nirvana star core but instead frantically urged it to sense, communicate with, and provoke the Star Core that was buried deep within the stone palace and was blocked by pollution!

”Don’t you crave power? Aren’t you being suppressed by pollution? Respond to me!!!”

As if feeling the provocation from a power that shared the same source yet carried the characteristics of Nirvana and Chaos, that blocked Star Core suddenly went into a frenzy!

Buzz—!!!

An indescribable, chaotic, and violent Stellar Power mixed with thick, decaying Death Qi, like a dormant volcano, suddenly erupted from the depths of the stone palace!

A thick, twisted energy pillar, half Starlight and half black-purple, instantly broke through the stone palace’s blockade and soared straight into the night sky!

Rumble!

The entire Luoxing Slope shook violently, and the rocks on the circular mountain walls fell down in cascades!

That energy pillar was incredibly violent, indiscriminately sweeping through everything in its surroundings!

City Lord Bai He’s face changed drastically, and the giant palm grabbing for Su Muxue was the first to be hit, being instantly dispersed by that chaotic energy pillar! He gave a muffled groan, his body swaying slightly, and he had to take half a step back, circulating his Cultivation Technique to resist this sudden impact.

The three intact black-clothed Guards and the Goatee Old Man were even more tossed about by this terrifying energy storm, left in a wretched state.

And Su Muxue was pushed by the aftershocks of this erupting energy, sending her crashing into the pitch-black entrance of the stone palace at an even faster speed!

”No! My Legacy!” City Lord Bai He let out a roar of shock and anger, wanting to stop it, but he was blocked by the continuously erupting chaotic energy pillar!

Swish!

Su Muxue’s figure, along with Lin Mo, whose light was flashing rapidly in her arms, instantly vanished into the bottomless darkness of the Star Stone Palace.

The next moment, the erupting energy pillar seemed to have exhausted its strength and suddenly retracted and disappeared.

Leaving behind only the mess of Luoxing Slope and the group of City Lord Bai He, whose faces were livid with shock and anger.

And that deep, silent stone palace entrance that seemed to have swallowed all light.
