Beyond the Timescape

Sir Star Ring really wasn’t very far away. The moment Xu Qing cut down Sir Star Ring in the fifth world, a blurry figure appeared at the entrance of the immortal palace, right past the immortal foyer. This was one of the three paths leading to the immortal palace. Back at the beginning of the event, Xu Qing had looked at this location and just barely seen the bridge in the mist. The mist was currently seething as the figure staggered back from that spot and onto the immortal foyer.

Staggering, he coughed up a massive mouthful of blood onto the limestone. His chest heaved as he struggled to breathe. He looked like someone who had just barely escaped from catastrophe with his life.

He was none other than Sir Star Ring. His aura was in shambles, and he looked extremely weak. In fact, it seemed that nearly half of his body existed in a state between real and illusory.

“Xu Qing...” Sir Star Ring’s expression was grim as he sped toward the exit. He was leaving the immortal palace.

The moment he appeared in the Fallen Immortal Moors, he saw a host of people seated cross-legged in the area. Glancing at them, he spotted Li Mengtu as well as Zhou Zhengli.

The seated cultivators sensed his gaze. That was especially true of Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli, who looked up at him. Li Mengtu’s gaze hardened. Zhou Zhengli looked thoughtful.

Sir Star Ring didn’t hesitate for an instant. He walked out, flew up into the air, and raced toward the horizon. He held nothing back in terms of speed. When he reached the border of the Fallen Immortal Moors, he turned to look back at the immortal palace. His body was already reverting from its state of half-illusory into being fully real.

That was the result of the lifesaving skill he had used, which was a secret magic of the Star Ring Pagoda. By sacrificing some of his dao, he could create a version of the Star Ring Pagoda to substitute for him in death. In that way, he could avert deadly crises. Over the years, he had made seven Star Ring Pagodas to serve in that capacity.

I can’t believe I had to waste one just now....

When he thought back to what had played out in the fifth world, he felt fear inside of him, and had to admit that his opponent’s understanding of canon... surpassed his own by a lot.

Whether in terms of deadliness or stealthiness, his canon is terrifying! If I want to crush him, I need to improve my own canon to the point of being able to destroy all of his space-times. Otherwise... it would be just too difficult to kill him. Unless....

Sir Star Ring’s eyes glittered. The only other option would be to figure out how to crush his true body with heaven’s principle! His biggest weakness... is definitely his true body! He has an Imperial Sovereign cultivation base, and his immortal embryo is still forming. That means that the best option is to figure out how to identify his true body amidst the various space-times.... In other words, there definitely is a way to kill him!
