The man with white hair suddenly stopped, his expression blank.
He slowly returned to Twelve Luoyue's side, motionless.
The white-haired man's change stunned everyone. Coupled with Twelve Luoyue's earlier use of spiritual energy to form threads and control him,
the crowd realized that this terrifying white-haired man was actually a puppet!
Ignoring the shocked gazes of others,
Twelve Luoyue casually walked to where her right arm had been severed. She picked up the arm and reattached it to her body with a distinct *crack*.
The sound sent shivers down their spines.
They began to wonder if Twelve Luoyue was human or a puppet.
Not only them, but even the five Ancestral Celestial Venerables felt a chill run down their spines.
They had all witnessed, with their own eyes, how the white-haired man had killed four peak King Realm Nether God Race members in an instant.
Moreover, they could not discern the true depth of the white-haired puppet.
Twelve Luoyue indifferently glanced at the people around her, her gaze then shifting to the white-haired puppet before her.
A hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes. She raised her fair, slender jade hand and gently caressed the white-haired man's cheek.
"Brother, let's go back and get revenge on the Four Great Families. Let's annihilate them all, okay?" kuAiδugg
The white-haired man remained unresponsive, his eyes hollow and unfocused.
Twelve Luoyue showed a flicker of sadness before her expression immediately turned cold. She commanded, "01, take me away from here."
01 was the name of the white-haired puppet.
01 nodded and picked Twelve Luoyue up from the ground.
His figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared hundreds of meters away and vanished.
Midway, a Venerable Realm Nether God Race member attempted to block their path but was instantly killed by a single punch from the 01 puppet, which blew its head off.
A Nether God Race member comparable to a Human Heavenly Venerable was so easily killed, a truly terrifying sight.
Those present looked at the direction Twelve Luoyue had disappeared, their hearts filled with shock.
Who was this white-haired woman, and how did she possess such a formidable puppet?
Just as various forces and Nether God Race monsters were locked in fierce battles outside,
Mu Qingqing had successfully entered the Star Gate and arrived in the Star Emperor's pocket dimension—the Star Realm.
Everything here bore a resemblance to the consciousness space, but it was even vaster.
Above, the Milky Way stretched across the sky, with countless stars suspended high above.
Among them, sixteen prominent stars arranged in a cross shape shone the brightest.
Beneath these sixteen stars, a statue stood in the center, emanating an aura of infinite majesty.
Mu Qingqing surmised that this statue was the master of the Star Realm, a Saint Emperor realm expert, the Star Emperor!
However, this was not the time to admire the scenery of the Star Realm. Mu Qingqing had to find the reason for the surge of Nether God Race monsters.
She carefully observed her surroundings.
She discovered a massive spatial rift that had appeared within the Star Realm.
The spatial rift was continuously expanding.
Large numbers of Nether God Race monsters were pouring out from this rift.
The rift was incredibly wide, spanning over a thousand meters.
"Xuan Kong, what did you do in the Star Realm? How could this spatial rift be so colossal?"
Mu Qingqing murmured to herself.
"Little girl, you are likely powerless against this spatial rift,"
Old Han's voice suddenly sounded. "If nothing unexpected has occurred, this should be a passage constructed by the Nether God Race within the Star Realm. Furthermore, one must reach the Saint Emperor realm to control spatial powers."
"Saint Emperor realm?"
Mu Qingqing frowned.
Even in her female form, she could only unleash the power of a peak Five-Star Heavenly Venerable.
It was nowhere near enough to seal this spatial rift.
Old Han sighed, "Little girl, let's leave. This spatial rift is beyond our capabilities to handle at the moment. The disaster in the Eastern Continent is unavoidable."
Mu Qingqing knew that only a Saint Emperor realm powerhouse could resolve the current situation.
However, the Saint Emperor realm powerhouses in the Eastern Continent were few and far between. The remaining few were in seclusion and unlikely to emerge.
She doubted it would be too late by the time they intervened.
But Mu Qingqing was no ordinary person; she had read the original novel and knew most of the plot.
She had other options.
Thus, Mu Qingqing smiled calmly, her Star Wheel pupils shimmering with starlight.
Following that, Mu Qingqing's body transformed into her female form.
Her long black hair flowed, her exquisite face and dreamlike, starry eyes were revealed.
Her male attire became loose, showcasing her graceful and shapely figure.
Mu Qingqing took out a hair tie and simply tied her raven hair into a ponytail that dangled over her shoulder.
"Okay, time to get down to business."
"What business? Little girl, you're not thinking of trying to seal the spatial rift, are you? Only Saint Emperors can seal such a rift. You are too weak now; going there would be suicide!"
Old Han hurriedly tried to dissuade her, not wanting her to do anything foolish.
"Heh, don't worry, Old Han. I have my own plans."
A devilishly charming arc appeared on Mu Qingqing's lips.
As soon as she spoke, a powerful aura of a peak Five-Star Heavenly Venerable erupted from her.
This aura instantly killed a group of low-level Nether God Race monsters that were surging towards her.
Mu Qingqing then vanished into the vast expanse of starlight.
After transforming into her female form, Mu Qingqing's strength was no longer restricted.
A casual burst of Undying Phoenix Flame could annihilate many Nether God Race monsters, and her speed was at its extreme.
"Little girl, what are you up to now? I already told you it's useless."
Old Han was startled.
This girl was becoming increasingly strange.
Moreover, Old Han noticed that Mu Qingqing was not heading towards the spatial rift.
Instead, she was flying towards the Star Emperor's statue.
This surprised him even more. What was this little girl trying to do?
Mu Qingqing murmured to herself, "Although the Star Gate opened earlier than in the original work, the Star Emperor's legacy statue is still intact. This means there's still a chance for salvation."
Her target was the Star Emperor's statue.
A large number of Nether God Race monsters poured into the Star Realm, but Mu Qingqing paid them no mind.
The Xuanyang Sword flew out of her Sumeru Ring, its sword intent enveloping the entire void, instantly slaughtering all the attacking Nether God Race monsters.
Soon, Mu Qingqing reached the base of the Star Emperor's statue and touched it.
The Myriad Phenomena Star Wheel Scripture circulated, and Mu Qingqing injected the special stellar spiritual energy generated by the cultivation technique into the statue.
The statue immediately blazed with light, emitting dazzling starlight.
A phantom appeared above the statue. It was a middle-aged man in blue robes, his eyes closed, his form as imposing as a mountain.
This person was the Star Emperor.
Seeing this, Mu Qingqing smiled slightly and said, "It seems I've succeeded."
"Little girl, what did you just do? How did you manage to activate the Star Emperor's statue?" Old Han asked incredulously.
"I'll tell you later."
Mu Qingqing smiled mysteriously.
Just then, the Star Emperor's eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Mu Qingqing.
"Young successor! Did you awaken me..."
"Stop pretending, Senior Star Emperor. Your home has been invaded by the Nether God Race."
