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

191: Chapter 191: The Star Key Recognizes Its Master and the Collapse of the Death Realm”Roar—!!!”

The roar from the ancient skeleton will was no longer pure rage; it was now laced with a frantic terror, as if its very Foundation was being shaken and its existence threatened! The crimson soul fire flickered wildly, nearly bursting from its eye sockets!

Most of the chains binding the sharp metal star key had been severed. This not only interrupted the extraction of the star key’s Origin but also seemed to cut a vital connection linking the skeleton to the depths of this world! The massive skeletal frame shuddered violently as fine cracks began to spiderweb across its surface. The Bronze War Spear piercing its brow hummed and vibrated, its residual ancient killing intent seemingly reignited, beginning to suppress and tear at the ancient skeleton will in turn!

The chaos star core hovered in the air like a bottomless black hole, still frantically devouring the golden baleful Death Qi and resentment permeating the world. Its size remained unchanged, but the dark gold patterns on its surface grew deeper and more complex. The devouring dao rhyme it emitted became increasingly terrifying, eventually forming a miniature, space-warping chaotic vortex around the star Core. Lin Mo’s consciousness was submerged in a state of satisfied slumber, seemingly oblivious to the cataclysmic changes outside, instinctively performing the acts of ”feeding” and ”evolution.”

The partially liberated sharp metal star key erupted with a brilliant golden light like a small sun, illuminating the dim heart of the death realm. That pure and ultimate Sharp Metal dao rhyme was like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed, Cutting through all the Death Qi and resentment that tried to approach. It vibrated intensely, letting out bursts of clear yet mournful humming, as if venting eons of accumulated grievance and pain.

Its light was directed mostly toward Nangong Xuan—toward the ancient sword in his hand that had severed the chains and held the Nirvana True Intent, and toward the sword soul within him that was so out of place in this deathly silence, yet equally resilient and unyielding!

A faint but clear sense of affinity, dependence, and pleading—like the first cry of a newborn bird—softly brushed against Nangong Xuan’s mind.

It had accepted him! It accepted the sword that broke its shackles, and it accepted the man who dared to swing his blade against the death realm!

Nangong Xuan had a sudden flash of insight. Without any hesitation, he lunged forward and grabbed the sharp metal star key at the center of the light!

The moment his fingertips touched the star key’s physical form—

Buzz!

A vast and boundless torrent of Metal-type Origin, peerlessly sharp and mixed with the star key’s eons of accumulated grief, indignation, and killing intent, surged into Nangong Xuan’s body like a collapsing galaxy!

”Ugh, ah!”

Nangong Xuan let out a muffled groan. He felt as if his Meridians, Dantian, and even his Divine Soul were about to be burst and torn apart by this incredibly overbearing power! Countless fine golden rays of light shot out from the surface of his skin; his entire being seemed to transform into a humanoid divine weapon, radiating a terrifying sharpness!

Had his Physical Body not undergone multiple temperings, had he not possessed the Nirvana Sword Intent for protection, and had he not frequently resonated with the Illusory Shadow star key and the nirvana true seal fragment to adapt to the star key’s power, this single impact would have been enough to make him explode and die!

He frantically circulated his Nirvana Sword Essence, struggling to guide and soothe this violent power, forcing it down toward his Dantian in an attempt to establish a connection with the Illusory Shadow star key and the nirvana true seal fragment.

On the other side, the ancient skeleton will went completely mad!

”Reclaim! Destroy!”

It felt the star key breaking free and the trend of it recognizing a new master, which thoroughly touched its sore spot! The massive skeletal palm clawed toward Nangong Xuan again with reckless abandon, even at the cost of burning the residual Origin Death Qi within its own bones! The other skeletal palm slammed toward the hovering chaos star core, trying to interrupt that damned devouring!

Simultaneously, the Bronze War Spear at its brow was stimulated by its frantic will, humming to the extreme. A blurry but incredibly tall phantom figure clad in tattered armor faintly emerged above the spear, radiating a terrifying killing intent that looked down upon the world, capable of slaughtering gods and demons! This killing intent was not aimed at Nangong Xuan, but was locked firmly onto the ancient skeleton will itself!

This spear was not just the murder weapon that killed this giant skeleton; it was also a sealing tool left behind by a supreme expert!

The ancient skeleton’s madness was accelerating the activation of this final Seal!

”Mu Xue! Linger!” Nangong Xuan shouted hoarsely while struggling to refine the power of the sharp metal star key.

Su Muxue and Zi Linger endured their heavy injuries and struggled to their feet. They understood that this was their last chance!

”Lunar... Banishing Seal!” Su Muxue bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mouthful of her lifeblood onto the moon wheel. The moonlight instantly turned blood-red, transforming into cold, crimson chains of light. They were not for attacking, but wrapped around the lunging giant palm, the extreme cold power spreading wildly to slow its speed.

”Living Beings... Severed Thoughts!” Zi Linger’s face was as pale as paper. She pressed the key of living beings against her heart, using her own Origin life force as a catalyst to drive the star key’s power. The emerald glow transformed into countless runes filled with purifying power, crashing into the crimson soul fire at the ancient skeleton’s head like moths to a flame, attempting to interfere with and purify its mad will!

Their attacks might have been weak to the ancient skeleton, but at this moment, they became the straw that broke the camel’s back!

Boom!!!

The giant palm the ancient skeleton swung at the star Core was delayed by Su Muxue’s desperate effort, and Zi Linger’s interference with the soul fire caused the ancient skeleton will to scatter for a split second!

That single moment of distraction was all it took!

The Bronze War Spear at its brow suddenly erupted with a blue-black divine light that pierced through heaven and earth!

The blurry phantom atop the spear sharpened for an instant—it was a war god whose face was obscured but whose eyes were as cold as eternal ice! He seemed to reach across endless time and space to grip the war spear once more, and then... gave it a vicious twist!

”No—!!!”

The ancient skeleton will let out a final screech full of resentment and despair!

Crack... Boom!!!

The massive skeleton suddenly exploded, starting from the head and following the wound caused by the Bronze War Spear! Countless bone fragments containing terrifying Death Qi shot out in all directions like world-ending meteors!

With the ancient skeleton will no longer in control, the balance of this Fallen Star Slope Core region was completely shattered! The earth began to collapse frantically, and spatial rifts spread across the sky like a spiderweb. Even more violent energy turbulence gushed out from the ground and the rifts!

The entire heart of the death realm began to crumble!

”Go!”

Nangong Xuan snapped his eyes open, a golden light flashing briefly within them. He had finally achieved a preliminary suppression of the sharp metal star key’s power and successfully took it into his Dantian, forming a rudimentary triangular balance with the Illusory Shadow star key and the nirvana true seal fragment. He snatched the chaos star core, which was dim and falling toward the ground due to excessive energy consumption, and tucked it back into Su Muxue’s arms, while his Sword Gang wrapped around the two heavily injured women.

He didn’t even have time to check the star key’s specific details. Transforming into a sword rainbow, he pushed his speed to the limit, charging recklessly toward the direction they had come from, toward the periphery of the death kingdom that was constantly collapsing and annihilating!

Behind him was a scene of earth-shattering explosions and destruction, with the terrifying energy shockwave from the ancient skeleton’s total disintegration hot on his heels!

The sword rainbow was like lightning, narrowly avoiding the collapsing space and energy turbulence in a desperate flight!

An unknown amount of time passed—it felt like an instant, yet also like ten thousand years. Just as Nangong Xuan felt his Sword Essence was about to be exhausted and the destructive impact behind him began to weaken, the star-fallen barrier that connected heaven and earth finally appeared ahead!

However, the barrier at this time had also become extremely unstable due to the cataclysm in the Core. Its surface light flickered wildly, and countless cracks appeared and disappeared!

Nangong Xuan did not hesitate. Finding a relatively weak crack, he gathered his remaining strength and threw himself into it!

Poof!

It was like passing through a cold, viscous film of water.

The scene before him changed abruptly, returning to that desolate and solemn, yet relatively ”calm” outer region.

Before he could even catch his breath, several incredibly powerful and terrifying auras—far exceeding the previous three Nascent Soul Early Stage experts—locked onto him from all directions like prehistoric behemoths!

A cold and majestic voice rolled in like heavenly thunder:

”Hand over the star key! Cripple your own cultivation! And I shall spare your life!”

In the sky, three golden warships—far larger than the previous shuttles, covered in dense runes, and radiating astonishing pressure—surrounded him in a triangular formation. Banners fluttered atop the warships, embroidered with a massive character for ”Jue”! At the bow of the leading warship stood an old man wearing a dark gold coiled-dragon robe, with a majestic face and eyes as sharp as a hawk’s. His aura... had surprisingly reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

The true high-level members and elites of the Jin Jue Sect had finally arrived!
