Learning that the star chart within his sea of consciousness was actually deeply connected to the star domain of his homeland — and that it could even let him sense the location of that homeland — couldn't help but break into a wide grin.

From now on, no matter where he was, all he had to do was look up, and he would be able to see the existence of his homeland. He could even glimpse that familiar figure.

This filled his heart with a sense of fullness. Even though he was alone at this moment, he didn't feel lonely.

The only question was whether, here in the , he could still draw upon the power of the stars.

He was the Star Lord of Dark Star. Previously, when he had been in his homeland's star domain, he could draw upon Dark Star's power with a mere thought, regardless of his location, using it to empower himself and boost his strength. Now that he was in the , he wondered whether that convenient ability still worked.

Thinking this, withdrew his consciousness back into his physical body and activated the star origin of Dark Star within him.

At the same time, he closely monitored the region of space where his homeland's star domain lay for any changes.

Suddenly, a point of light flickered somewhere within that nebula, and a faint streak of starlight crossed billions of li of distance, hurtling straight toward him.

In the blink of an eye, that starlight plunged into 's body.

It actually worked? was thoroughly astonished.

He had only meant to try it on a whim, conducting a brief experiment, but he hadn't expected that even here in the , he could still call upon Dark Star's power.

However… the distance was probably too great. Even though he had managed to draw upon it, the effect was negligible. The faint starlight entered his body, but it provided virtually no help.

Realizing this, quickly severed his connection with Dark Star.

After all, he was in unfamiliar territory. If such a phenomenon continued, it would likely attract disaster.

He already felt a twinge of regret for his recklessness.

Next, he closed his eyes and circulated his profound art to refine the medicinal potency, replenishing the depleted energy within his body.

The surrounding environment was supremely comfortable. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was incredibly dense — far denser than any place within the star domain. Moreover, there seemed to be some indescribable, subtle difference between this spiritual energy and that of the star domain. In such an environment, estimated that within just a few days, he would recover to his peak condition.

As for his plans going forward, hadn't figured those out yet. But the most pressing matter was to locate Ghost Ancestor and the others — especially the Fire Bird Liuyan and Little. couldn't stop worrying about them.

Time passed. Within the great mountain, all was silent, as though not even a wild beast roamed. Only the wind stirred, rustling through fallen leaves.

Suddenly, as though sensing something, snapped his eyes open, fixing a cold stare upon a spot in the sky.

There, at some unknown point, a figure had appeared, hovering silently in midair. Moonlight spilled down, revealing the slender, graceful silhouette in full.

"It's you!" The newcomer looked at , her face full of surprise.

"Die!" suddenly launched himself from the ground like a cannonball. While still airborne, he activated the Dragon Transformation Secret Art, his entire arm morphing into a dragon claw. Accompanied by a resonant dragon roar, devastating and violent force surged toward the newcomer.

"Wait!" The woman's face drained of color. She hurriedly deployed a technique to neutralize 's attack while retreating rapidly, calling out urgently, "There's been a misunderstanding between us!"

said nothing. His dragon claw tore through the void, reaching straight for her chest as though intending to rip out her heart.

The woman was stricken with terror. Frowning, she shouted, "Stop! In your current state, forcing yourself to fight any further will only worsen your injuries!"

"Spare me your crocodile tears!" snorted coldly, adding even more force to his strike. Spatial energy wreathed his body, his form flickering unpredictably. In the blink of an eye, he broke through the woman's defenses and materialized right at her side, delivering a palm strike.

The woman cried out in alarm, her slender hand tracing a half-arc at her side as a ring of defensive light flickered into being, blocking 's blow. At the same time, she retreated swiftly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at . "Even after sustaining such grievous injuries, you still possess this much power. You really are no ordinary person. No wonder you managed to retreat unscathed from Senior Brother Yin."

frowned and did not strike again.

His strength had only recovered a small amount. Since he couldn't kill this woman in a short time, further fighting would be unwise.

Seeing him settle down, the woman forced a thin smile and said, "Now can we have a proper talk?"

"If you've got something to say, then say it," replied without giving the woman any courtesy, his voice cold.

The woman furrowed her delicate brows. Though somewhat irritated, she understood that 's attitude couldn't really be blamed on him, so she could only say, "You're still injured, and I'm wary of the Emperor Treasure in your possession, so it would be best if neither of us provoked a conflict. As for what happened before… I had no choice."

stared at her coldly and nodded. "Go on."

This woman was precisely the Void King Realm Third Stage martial artist who had been with Yin Lesheng in the Starlight Corridor. At that time, she had joined forces with the bald youth to jointly attack Ghost Ancestor and the others.

had observed her during that fight, and unlike the bald man, she had shown no killing intent. Hearing her words now, he believed about a third of what she said. If it had been Yin Lesheng or the bald youth standing here instead, would never have held back.

If not for these three meddling, he would never have been separated from Ghost Ancestor and the others. Little and the Fire Bird Liuyan would never have been left to drift alone into the void rifts.

harbored a bone-deep hatred for all three of them.

"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is . Like Senior Brother Yin, I come from the Great Desolate Star Domain," said softly, her full lips parting as her luminous eyes gazed at .
