Chapter 258: The Star-Shattering-Punch Kind?

Roar!

A strange roar echoed, and six Power Runes actively emerged. On the mobile end.

The third layer’s Star Array power was too terrifying; these Star Body Peak experts were collectively severely injured.

Although Lin Feng and Huo Qinglan were not injured, their strength was also greatly suppressed.

“Be careful, the Star Array here has already reached the Star Peak level.”

Lin Feng shouted in a low voice, waving his hand as a golden barrier appeared, enveloping everyone.

With the golden barrier protecting them, the pressure dissipated, and they circulated their Star Power to heal their injuries.

Jiang Changkong activated his Indestructible Vajra Body, and his injuries recovered in an instant.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Feng led the barrier and the group, officially stepping into the third layer.

Thick blood qi swirled in the third layer, obscuring their vision.

Jiang Changkong could only see three meters ahead.

As the group entered the third layer, Lin Feng directly threw out several golden stones.

The golden stones flew out, emitting streams of golden Star Power that crisscrossed to form a Star Array, dispersing the blood qi.

Hum!

The third layer shook violently as the blood qi on the floor collided with the golden Star Power, attempting to extinguish it.

“This is a top-tier Star Peak Star Array. How much strength does this dilapidated palace still have?”

Lin Feng sneered, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

Jiang Changkong also examined the third layer—a vast space with hundreds of stone platforms arranged within.

On the stone platforms were placed Stone Boxes.

Around the platforms were carved ancient Star Script.

“Near-God Martial Arts! These are all Near-God Martial Arts!”

Lin Feng exclaimed excitedly.

“Hahaha, so many volumes of Near-God Martial Arts. We’ve struck it rich!”

Jin Hansheng laughed heartily, excitedly rushing toward a stone platform.

“Only one item can be taken,” Jiang Changkong said quietly.

“Kid, shut up now. Are you waiting for us to leave so you can take everything for yourself?”

Jin Hansheng sneered, “Let me tell you, we’re taking everything here!”

Lin Feng smiled arrogantly, “This palace is severely damaged. If it were intact, I might be wary, but now, at most it’s Star Peak level. With this Protective Shield, we can suppress this place!”

Suit yourself, Jiang Changkong fell silent, unable to stop those seeking death.

“Changkong, is what you said true?” Yao Qing tugged at him, whispering.

Huo Qinglan and the other two also quickly looked at him.

Jiang Changkong nodded, “If they’re fine, I’ll dismantle this place.”

If Lin Feng and the others didn’t die, it would prove that the fake corpse was just trying to scare him. He would absolutely tear this palace apart.

“Mine, it’s all mine.”

One Martial Artist after another frantically rushed toward the stone platforms, grabbing the Stone Boxes in their hands.

“There are no Restriction Seals on these Stone Boxes; they can be opened easily,” Jin Hansheng said excitedly. “Metal-attribute martial arts, Near-God chapters, all complete.”

“I’ve found martial arts of the same attribute, Near-God chapters,” another Martial Artist exclaimed excitedly.

“Should we take advantage of their madness and run first?” Jiang Changkong suggested.

“Let’s go,” Huo Qinglan grabbed him, ready to leave immediately.

Lin Feng had already gone mad, taking one Stone Box and immediately going for another, never satisfied.

Jin Hansheng and the others were the same—this group dared to take as much as they could.

“Haha… I’m going to establish the top force, with hundreds of Near-God experts…”

“Starfield expeditions, breaking into the starry sky, dominating the galaxy…”

Listening to these wildly delusional words, Jiang Changkong and the other seven could only wish them not to die too quickly.

However, just as they turned to leave, their bodies stiffened simultaneously.

At the entrance of the third floor, an aged figure had appeared at some unknown time, his lifeless eyes observing everything.

“Senior, we didn’t take a second item,” Jiang Changkong and the others swallowed nervously, unconsciously stepping backward.

The old man’s expression remained blank, his vacant gaze fixed on Lin Feng and the others who were still lost in their delusions.

The sixteen individuals still dreaming were unaware that danger had already descended upon them.

“Hahaha…”

Bang

The laughter abruptly ceased as a Star Body Peak martial artist silently exploded into a mist of blood.

The blood mist ignored the barrier, merging into the endless sea of bloody energy.

“What happened?”

Lin Feng and the others quickly turned around, their eyes landing on the old man at the entrance. They retreated in terror, exclaiming, “It’s a corpse reanimated!”

The old man’s gaze shifted to Jiang Changkong and the other seven.

“Everyone, retreat behind me!”

Huo Qinglan’s expression changed drastically. Surging Star Power erupted from her as a verdant star materialized behind her, shielding Jiang Changkong and the other six.

Boom

With a single glance, the star cracked. Huo Qinglan’s body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

The old man’s eyes remained vacant as he turned his attention to another Star Body Peak martial artist.

Bang

The Star Body Peak martial artist exploded, turning into a blood mist that ignored the barrier and merged into the bloody energy.

“Huo Qinglan, are you alright?” Jiang Changkong supported her, channeling his Taiji Star Power into her body to help regulate her injuries.

“It’s nothing serious,” Huo Qinglan replied. A green glow enveloped her, instantly healing her wounds and restoring the star behind her. “This thing is bizarre. We cannot confront it head-on.”

“Everyone, gather together quickly. Come over here!” Lin Feng shouted.

Over a dozen martial artists hurriedly assembled before Lin Feng.

“Jiang Changkong, what exactly is this thing?” Jin Hansheng demanded.

“Shut the hell up! This isn’t my home. I already told you all to take one item and leave, that there was something wrong with the corpse, but you just wouldn’t listen!”

Jiang Changkong roared in anger. If he weren’t outmatched by these people, he would have cut them down without hesitation.

A bunch of bastards—it wasn’t like he had built this place.

Lin Feng’s expression turned icy. “Shut up…”

Jiang Changkong sneered, “Shut up yourself! Didn’t you say you could suppress it? Go ahead, show me how you’ll suppress it.”

Lin Feng: “…”

In this situation, he truly couldn’t suppress it.

With a single glance, a Star Body Peak martial artist had exploded, and Huo Qinglan, a Stellar Body-level expert, had been injured.

He and Huo Qinglan were evenly matched in strength. What could he possibly use to suppress it?

Huo Qinglan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. “The main issue with this thing is that its attacks are too bizarre—invisible and without any Star Power fluctuations. If we’re careful and work together, we should be able to subdue it.”

“Invisible?”

Jiang Changkong frowned. Could it be that this old fellow also knew something like the Divine Control Art? But this was a corpse.

“Then let’s act quickly and finish this fast!” Lin Feng shouted sternly.

“Kill!”

The two Stellar Body-level martial artists attacked simultaneously, unleashing terrifying Star Power that surged toward the old man.

Jiang Changkong, Yao Qing, and the others quickly retreated, activating the Divine Control Art and sending it outward.

Invisible Star Power spread, revealing everything in the surroundings within their minds.

In the air, an invisible force was rapidly rushing toward the two. Immediately afterward, a tearing pain followed, shaking their very souls. Not daring to delay, Jiang Changkong urgently shouted, “Huo Qinglan, protect your throat!”

Huo Qinglan’s expression tightened as she used her star to shield her throat.

Boom

Star Power trembled violently. Huo Qinglan was sent flying backward, but this time, prepared, she remained unharmed.

Lin Feng’s figure flashed forward, his sword accurately striking the old man’s neck.

Clang

Crack

The longsword… shattered!

As the violent Star Power descended, the old man remained unmoved. Lin Feng’s expression turned to horror as he hastily retreated.

Jiang Changkong rubbed his forehead, which still ached a bit. Seeing Lin Feng’s sword break in this manner, he felt a sense of despair inside. Couldn’t you have brought a better weapon?

Are you sure there’s no exaggeration in your title as a Star Martial Artist?

The other Martial Artists were equally despairing. Lin Feng, a Star-level expert, had struck with his full strength, yet he couldn’t even break through the defense?

“This… how is this possible?” Lin Feng still couldn’t believe it. His ninth-tier lower-grade longsword had broken just like that?

“I’ve read that Star Script. The War Palace collects the bodies of those who leave their names behind. Those corpses were all Near-Gods in life!”

“And they might even have been body-refining Near-Gods.”

Everyone: “…”

The kind that can shatter stars with a single punch?
