"zing Yang Star." Yun Xiao emerged from the cold embrace of the Extreme Yin Star, his Sovereign Sword slicing through the void with furious speed.


    It wasn''t long before he approached a crimson star, radiating heat that seemed to scorch the very heavens. The Extreme Yin Star was icy, but this zing Yang Star burned with an intensity that was near unbearable—a stark contrast of chilling frost and searing me.


    In the Samsara Gxy, the zing Yang Sect was closest to the Harmony Divine Pce, though the distance in reality stretched far greater than at present.


    In terms of scale, the influence of the zing Yang Sect was roughly half that of the Harmony Divine Pce. But here, due to the rules and shadowy dealings, the zing Yang Sect had grown formidable, deemed by the outside world to rank among the top twenty in the Grand Assembly Arena.


    Among the 555 celestial sects within the Heavenly Deity Ster River, such a standing marked the zing Yang Sect as among the elite.


    Typically, peak sects such as these, when in such proximity, would tacitly agree to avoid direct conflict, instead preying on the weaker factions.


    "In years past, the zing Yang Star and the Extreme Yin Star kept to themselves..." Yun Xiao mused, a coldugh escaping him before he propelled himself with his sword toward the fiery heart of the zing Yang Star.


    ?ι══????


    Within the zing Yang Star, the core of this star was a cauldron of magma, where boiling bubbles of fire swept across thend and me tornadoes danced wildly in a spectacle akin to a fiery hell.Yet, in this inferno, the gathered celestial prodigies were unaffected, theirplexions rosy and demeanor as serene as a gentle breeze, standing around the core.


    Among them, the most notable were the young scion of the zing Yang Sect, Yang Yang, and the granddaughter of the Great Elder, Liu Liu.


    The two stood hand in hand in the midst of the mes, their eyes locked in a tender gaze.


    "Congrattions, Brother Yang, and Sister Liu."


    Just moments ago, as the Parent g descended, Yang Yang seized the moment to propose to Liu Liu amidst the mes—a spectacle of romance.


    This gesture instantly made them the center of attention in the Million Starlight Pce, igniting countless cheers from the countless millions of onlookers who witnessed the event.


    The sight nearly overwhelmed Liu Liu, her orange locks framing a face flushed with emotion, as she teetered on the brink of fainting from sheer joy.


    Amidst a resounding <em>I do</em>, the atmosphere reached its zenith, and blessings rained down from the Million Starlight Pce, showering the newly betrothed couple.


    At this moment, the Sect Leader of the zing Yang Sect, Yang Qingtian, basked in unparalleled glory.


    It was then that Yang Yang, as the Star Liege, inscribed the words <em>Love of Yang and Liu</em> upon the zing Yang Parent g—dering the name of theirbined power.


    Yang and Liu, like wood to fire, their love ignited a ze so fierce it could burn the gods themselves!


    Yang Yang''s bold warmth and Liu Liu''s graceful beauty left asting impression on the friends of the Samsara Gxy.


    "Liu Liu..." Yang Yang, his fiery red hair a striking contrast, held the slender-waisted girl close. His eyes burned with passion while she, shyly nestled in his embrace, seemed on the verge of melting away like ice before me.


    The two were as fire born from wood, and were it not for the public eye, they might have trulybusted.


    "Brother Yang, stop, stop, we are in the Grand Assembly Arena!" Liu Liu gently scolded.


    "Right! Brothers, sorry for the dy. ording to n, we prepare for battle! This time, the zing Yang Sect will breach the top twenty and make history! Let us elevate our n''s glory!" Yang Yangughed heartily and dered.


    As his words faded, the crowd responded with fervor, their spirits zing.


    In this moment of passion, the zing Yang Star Barrier roared to life, trembling with the sound of a fire rm.


    "Our star is being attacked!?"


    The disciples of the zing Yang Sect scrambled amidst a storm of mes.


    The Grand Assembly Arena battle had just begun! Off the back of an engagement, it was time for love and celebration, not war just yet! More importantly, the zing Yang Sect were big fish in this celestial pond!


    Even the Ancestral Land and Elysian Immortal Pce wouldn''t start the game by attempting to swallow such big fish, wasting time!


    In the history of the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects, the zing Yang Sect had never been attacked at the start.


    Both Yang Yang and Liu Liu''s faces showed a multitude of expressions.


    Below, a youth with orange hair stood out, his demeanor and poise much like Liu Liu''s, a striking and elegant figure.


    He was Liu Li, also a disciple of the zing Yang Sect and the esteemed grandson of the Great Elder.


    Seeing the chaos, he chuckled coldly and said to Yang Yang and Liu Liu, "Sister, brother-inw, it seems some blind dog hase to ruin your special moment."


    "Whoever dares to challenge us in public, behead them and sacrifice their blood to the Parent g!" Yang Yang dered coldly.


    In such a splendid moment, the mood was abruptly spoiled, naturally causing displeasure.


    Upon hearing themand, the more than 40 disciples of the zing Yang Sect gathered here were roused, their eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.


    In the Grand Assembly Arena battle, killing usually had no benefit; it could offend others and wasn''t worth the political cost.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yang Yang''s decision to kill demonstrated his daring spirit!


    "Kill!"


    With a thunderous cry, the prodigious talents of the zing Yang Sect ascended, racing towards the location indicated by the celestial array’s reaction.


    <em>VROOOOM! </em>Just then, a piercing sword light flew faster than the raging fire tornadoes of the zing Yang Star Barrier, charging directly in front of everyone!


    The mes parted, and there, a youth in white rode his sword through the air, his divine countenance unmatched, making a stunning entrance.


    "Who is this?"


    The over 40 disciples of the zing Yang Sect had never dreamed that the oneing to challenge them, even before the battle formally began, would be alone.


    And they didn''t recognize him!


    "Any response from other parts of the barrier?" Yang Yang asked with a cold gaze.


    "None," Liu Liu paused, "And sneaking in elsewhere wouldn''t make sense. This is the shortest route to the Star Nexus."


    The Star Barrier covered the entire Taiyi Sourcecore!


    "Does anyone recognize this fool?" Liu Li asked, fluttering his folding fan.


    After a brief silence, someone excitedly shouted, "Brother Yang! He''s that ve from the Extreme Yin Star. I saw him earlier today when I was enjoying the spectacle!"


    "Is he the one rumored to have pierced through the 9-Star prodigy with his finger?" Liu Li''s eyes widened with intrigue.


    "That''s him!"


    "He looks quite distinctive!"


    Suddenly, they were all thrilled, as if watching a monkey, their faces wearing smirks and mocking smiles.


    "That ve..."


    Yang Yang and Liu Liu exchanged a nce. They had thought there would be some grand drama, but it seemed a fool had stumbled into the tiger''s den...


    "Liu Li, take him down quickly; don''t let the barrier finish him off," Liu Liu said coldly, watching Yun Xiao with a look of disgust.


    She recognized that, despite his nauseating presence, he was still a figure of interest. Handing him over to the Young Dragon Lord would surely be a pleasing gift.


    "Understood, Sister!" Liu Li, fanning himself and smiling broadly, soared into the sky and pressed towards Yun Xiao.


    He was the third strongest there, a twenty-something Early Fourth Baptism Realm prodigy, renowned throughout the Heavenly Deity Ster River. At this Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects, he might be a supporting character, but in ten years, he was destined to lead the zing Yang Sect!


    "Hey little eunuch, awake yet?" Liu Li called out with a wave and a chuckle, his tone patronizing as if soothing a small animal.


    The youth in white did not respond, merely watching calmly as Liu Li drew closer.


    "No words? What''s wrong, haven''t awakened your intellect, can''t understand human speech?" Liu Liughed joyously.


    Yun Xiao nced at him, then at Yang Yang, Liu Liu, and the other mocking disciples of the zing Yang Sect.


    "Alright, I''ll start with you as my appetizer." Yun Xiao dered.


    "Pfft!" Liu Li couldn''t contain himself,ughing uproariously mid-air, bending forward and back with mirth. "Eunuch, eunuch... Akh!"


    But then, his vision warped, and he was suddenly looking at his own body. His head, held by a hand, swung in the air, his face stillughing, though his neck dripped blood profusely.


    His head turned, and finally, he saw who held it—it was that ve!


    Yun Xiao looked at him coldly, his gaze akin to observing a ridiculous ant.


    Tough so carelessly close to a foe like Yun Xiao was pure folly—a disregard for one''s own head.


    His head was in Yun Xiao''s hand, while his body had already fallen into the magma below, likely charred to ash by now.


    "I just heard, you wanted to sacrifice blood to your g, to celebrate your love? Let me help."


    Yun Xiao nced at the stunned Yang Yang, Liu Liu, and others. Then, holding Liu Li''s head, he aimed it at the zing Parent g below.


    <em>POP! </em>He cracked the head open like a coconut, and red and white matter poured down onto the g, a grisly tribute to their engagement.<blockquote>
