Wu Shattered Star River

North of Heavenly Chaos Island lies the Devil's Sea!

In this sea, there's no difference between night and day; it's perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, with violent storms and constant lightning.

Below, a massive vortex spanning over a thousand miles resembles the gaping maw of an ancient beast, devouring any martial artist who dares to approach.

On a reef at the edge of the Devil's Sea, a stunningly beautiful girl in coarse linen clothing sat cross-legged with her eyes closed.

Above her head hovered a cyan-colored sword, unsheathed and rapidly circling.

About ten miles south of the linen-clad girl, two old men floated on the sea, gazing at her from afar, their eyes darting around, anxiously monitoring the surroundings.

"Chi la~"

A bolt of purple lightning crashed down from the sky, striking the sea near the girl.

The cyan sword above the girl's head immediately shot up, chasing after the purple lightning.

"Bang!"

The purple lightning struck the cyan sword, causing it to emit a brilliant light and tremble violently, before being slammed back down into the sea.

"Pu…"

The linen-clad girl spat out a mouthful of blood, her beautiful face turning pale.

"Shui!"

The cyan sword quickly emerged from the sea and flew back to hover above the girl's head once more.

Seeing this, one of the old men said worriedly, "Elder Feng, is this going to work for Li'er? Don't let her damage her vital energy."

"That sword is her natal sword. If it's destroyed, her soul will definitely suffer a heavy blow, damaging her foundation."

The other old man's eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment, then said, "Li'er wants to temper her natal sword with lightning, which is essentially the same path Jiang Han took for his rebirth."

"At the moment the lightning strikes the natal sword, Si Li can clearly feel the might of heaven and earth, allowing her to get closer to them and more easily comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao…"

"However, doing so is indeed very dangerous. Carelessness could damage her origin. It's just that this girl's Dao heart is firm; who can persuade her otherwise? Even the Mountain Lord couldn't stop her if he came. We can only pray silently."

"Boom!"

Another bolt of purple lightning struck down from the sky, and Si Li's sword flew up once more, only to be slammed heavily into the sea again.

Si Li's delicate body trembled, and she spat out blood once more…

Three times, four times… ten times!

After the purple lightning struck ten times, Si Li's chest was already stained red with blood. Her face was devoid of color, frighteningly pale.

Feng Zhisheng and Elder Chen began to panic, fearing that something terrible would happen if this continued.

If her soul was damaged, and she fell into a deep sleep like Jiang Li, or if her soul shattered directly, how would they explain it to Si Wujian?

"Shui!"

Just as the two men were about to fly over and stop Si Li, the sword above her head suddenly soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of cyan light and flying towards the clouds at the center of the Devil's Sea.

The clouds there were filled with purple lightning, like a purple lightning net. If the sword flew into the clouds, it would immediately be bombarded by countless lightning strikes.

"Li'er, you're crazy!"

"Si Li, stop!"

Feng Zhisheng and Elder Chen trembled violently at the sight. They transformed into two afterimages, rushing towards Si Li at terrifying speed, shouting sternly.

Si Li didn't open her eyes, her beautiful face revealing a look of determination.

She completely ignored Feng Zhisheng and Elder Chen's angry shouts, continuing to control the cyan sword as it flew towards the clouds.

"Shui!"

The cyan sword was very fast, instantly flying into the clouds. Then, the sky filled with lightning strikes, the cyan sword trembled violently, and then crashed down, falling towards the massive vortex below.

"Pu…"

Si Li's delicate body trembled violently, she opened her mouth and continuously spat out blood, and the aura on her body gradually weakened. Her delicate body limply collapsed, falling onto the reef.

"Si Li!"

"Li'er!"

Feng Zhisheng and Elder Chen were so frightened that their souls almost scattered. They flew over rapidly, and Elder Chen frantically took out a medicinal pill, wanting to feed it to Si Li.

"Don't move!"

Feng Zhisheng suddenly roared, sensing that Si Li's aura was unusual.

Originally, Si Li's aura was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, but it slowly began to strengthen, becoming stronger and stronger.

"Shui!"

The cyan sword that had fallen into the vortex broke out of the water, then divided into two, then two into four… eventually becoming one hundred and eight cyan swords.

These cyan swords lined up in a straight line, end to end, shining with brilliant light.

These hundred-plus swords seemed to merge into a giant sword hundreds of feet long. The long sword was raised high, then suddenly slashed down.

"Chi la——"

A giant sword light hundreds of feet long appeared, cutting through the sky, and the space within a hundred miles violently trembled. Then, a huge gash was torn open, and an ancient and vast aura permeated from within the gash.

Elder Chen glanced at the sky, his face revealing ecstasy, and exclaimed, "One sword breaks the void! Li'er has actually broken through!"

"She really broke through!"

Feng Zhisheng's face was filled with emotion. He looked down at Si Li's pale face and couldn't help but sigh, "A twenty-one-year-old Void Breaking Realm cultivator—besides those few geniuses from the immortal-level forces, who can do it? The Chaotic Star Sea New Talent Ranking is about to be released, and Li'er is going to reach the top!"

"Leave here first!"

Elder Chen suddenly woke up, grabbing the cyan sword that had re-condensed into one in the void with one hand. He grabbed Si Li's shoulder with his other hand and soared towards Heavenly Chaos Island.

"Shui!"

Feng Zhisheng also understood that it was very dangerous here, especially since Si Li had just caused such a big commotion, which could easily alarm the experts of the three races.

Three figures transformed into three white lights, instantly disappearing to the south.

… …

"Eh?"

In the backyard of the Heavenly Chaos City Lord's Mansion, Lan Lin, who was sitting by the pool night fishing, revealed a look of surprise in his eyes, his gaze directed towards the north.

"Huhu~"

Next to him, the chubby Iron-Eating Beast was sleeping soundly, rolled up into a ball, snoring like thunder.

"Shui!"

A white light flashed, and He Ming, leaning on a cane, appeared beside him.

He Ming's eyes revealed a look of surprise. He looked north several times and asked, "City Lord, there are strong spatial fluctuations in the north, it feels like a terrestrial immortal is fighting. Should we let the Shadow Guards investigate?"

"It's not a terrestrial immortal fighting!"

Lan Lin smiled and said, "It's just that someone broke through to the Void Breaking Realm, affecting the power of heaven and earth, causing the spatial fluctuations to be a bit larger."

"Void Breaking Realm? How is that possible!"

He Ming's face was filled with surprise. A Void Breaking Realm breakthrough actually caused such a big commotion? This is somewhat unreasonable.

"Mm!"

Lan Lin nodded with certainty, then smiled and said, "Si Wujian has a good granddaughter. She specializes in the Sword Dao, which is the Dao of Slaughter, and her attack power is astonishing. That's why she caused such a big commotion."

"Si Li?"

He Ming once again revealed a look of surprise, muttering, "Isn't that girl Si Li a few months younger than Jiang Han? This aptitude is too heaven-defying!"

Lan Lin nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "However, she's still a bit lacking compared to Jiang Han. That little brat has already killed several Void Breaking Realm cultivators. And I have a premonition that if he doesn't die this time, he'll be able to sweep through the Void Breaking Realm."

He Ming's expression became solemn, and he glanced at Lan Lin and said, "City Lord, you have such strong confidence in Jiang Han? Aren't you afraid that he'll fall this time?"

Lan Lin's gaze turned to the north, his eyes shining brightly as he said, "How could he die so easily? He's Yan Da Ren's son, after all…"
