Chapter 445: Chapter 443: Earth Realm Grandmaster... Achieved! Warning to Princess Qin Qingqing—Leave Demon Saint Province

Attracting the Star Power?!

As soon as this speculation arose, the surrounding humans and demons instinctively shuddered.

How could this be possible!

Even for an Earth Realm Grandmaster, at most, they could only utilize a vast extent of the Heaven and Earth Source Qi for their own use.

But such Power of Celestial Phenomena, even with mastery of the Domain, it’s impossible to control it.

Unless...

These people pondered for a while, and realized they couldn’t think of any scenario that could draw upon the stars, harnessing their power for one’s own use.

However, there was no doubt that the starry spectacle unfolding was entirely abnormal.

In Demon Saint City, Qin Qingqing, who was drinking alone at a tavern by the window, looked up...

Almost thinking she had drunk too much, her vision was slightly blurred.

"Grandpa Shan, am I seeing things, or do the stars in the sky seem particularly dazzling?" Qin Qingqing said with a hint of intoxication.

Beside her, the elderly wolf of the Mortal Realm Ninth Layer looked up...

His old eyes suddenly narrowed.

This wasn’t a mere illusion, someone was harnessing the Star Power!

"Young lady, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. This should be someone borrowing the Star Power..." Elder Shan glanced a couple of times, extremely solemn.

At this moment, Lu Ye was merely at the initial stage of breaking through, with no additional celestial phenomena manifesting. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Hearing Elder Shan’s words, Qin Qingqing slightly parted her lips, borrowing the stars...

Who is so powerful to achieve this?

Her own father couldn’t do it, nor was it likely for the Blood Snake Clan Leader Xue Qianxiong... Who else in the entire Demon Saint Province could?

Suddenly, a voice from the Upper Realm Demon Race, heard during the recent Hundred Saints Demon Festival, echoed in Qin Qingqing’s mind.

Could the person mentioned by the Upper Realm Demons... if really in the Demon Saint Province, actually manage this?!

Just as Qin Qingqing thought of this, a strong wind suddenly swept through the night sky over Demon Saint City.

Next, a striking purple lightning, winding and flashing in the night sky, very noticeable.

BOOM!

The City Lord of Demon Saint City, having just returned to his mansion, suddenly looked up to the sky.

"This commotion seems quite unusual..."

Unexpectedly, moments later, more purple lightning appeared, seemingly conveying some kind of message.

CRACK!

The Demon Saint City Lord stood up directly and walked out of the room. With his cultivation as an Earth Realm Grandmaster, facing such celestial phenomena, he felt a deep sense of helplessness stirring within.

"Why has Demon Saint Province suddenly experienced so many unusual disturbances?"

The Demon Saint City Lord frowned in deep thought, this was evidently different from the usual calm of Demon Saint Province.

Moreover, the recent demon festival in Demon Saint Province was also distinct from the past.

For nearly a century, there hadn’t been any significant commotion, just a routine rain of the Ancestor Springs by the Upper Realm Demons, who rarely spoke up...

Could this be heralding something?

The Demon Saint City Lord simply couldn’t fathom who in his Demon Saint Province could be worthy of respect from those of the Upper Realm?

"Could it be that the person attracting the stars is the senior referred to by the Upper Realm Demons?"

With this thought, the urge to investigate dissipated significantly within the Demon Saint City Lord.

Better not to get involved...

...

Meanwhile, inside a cave.

With each infusion of Xiao Shu’s energy, Lu Ye managed to weaken the sturdy Grandmaster Barrier significantly with just two impacts.

With the third impact...

Lu Ye felt his Dantian expand considerably, as if entering an entirely new world.

In the Dantian, a vast amount of Grandmaster’s Source Qi gushed out, filling the newly expanded Qi Sea Dantian.

As this crucial breakthrough completed for Lu Ye, the purple lightning outside gradually dissipated.

The night sky returned to tranquility.

The myriad stars began to dim, returning to their normal nighttime intensity.

"Phew..."

"Xiao Shu’s energy is indeed powerful."

Opening his eyes, Lu Ye looked at the still slightly energized Xiao Shu with a smile.

The barrier at the Earth Realm, relatively speaking, ought to be far more challenging than during the Mortal Realm.

However, with this mysterious little tree, the obstacles to breaking through to the Earth Realm were, strictly speaking, not greater than those he faced in the Mortal Realm.

"Not bad."

Placing Xiao Shu back into the Myriad Dao Pavilion space, Lu Ye wasn’t sure if the commotion during his breakthrough would attract pursuers.

Having Xiao Ling return as well, Lu Ye swiftly exited the cave, his Spiritual Sense spreading out silently...

As expected, the next moment, a few miles away, Lu Ye sensed several figures wandering around, seemingly searching for something.

"So someone really followed the trail all the way here?"

In an instant, Lu Ye transformed into a shadow, quietly slipping away.

In less than two minutes.

Several figures arrived from afar, landing on the grassy area.

"Huh, there’s a cave over here, shall we go take a look?"

...

Swooping through the night sky at high speed, Lu Ye traversed hundreds of miles in no time.

Once again arriving within the Celestial Wolf Race territory, Lu Ye landed and passed through several checkpoints.

At the final checkpoint within the Celestial Wolf Race territory, having gone through inspection, Lu Ye turned back and said calmly, "Tell your Celestial Wolf Princess to withdraw these inspections; last time’s incident was her own doing."

"If you provoke me again... it won’t just be a simple punishment."

After all, being human, Lu Ye felt that if these inspection checkpoints remained indefinitely, it would be far too troublesome for other humans visiting Demon Saint Province.

Moreover, mistaking identities could mean others would fall victim to the Celestial Wolf Princess’s capture.

This was a situation Lu Ye wished to avoid.

Having already reached the top of the stone stele in Demon Saint Province, illuminating the second Seven Star Node, Lu Ye, who had just entered the Earth Realm, was not inferior in overall strength to others at the second or third layer of the Earth Realm.

After this, it would be difficult for Demon Saint Province to come over again, hence Lu Ye issued this warning for Qin Qingqing to cease.

Hearing such disrespectful words towards the princess, the two Celestial Wolf Race guards in charge felt indignant and questioned angrily, "Who are you?! How dare you offend our princess?"

Originally intending to detain this person, but Lu Ye stood there, seemingly merging faintly with the space around him.

Causing the two Celestial Wolf Race individuals... to not dare act rashly, only shouting in pretended bravado.

"I am... Lu Yan. Your Princess will naturally understand my meaning when the time comes."

With those words, Lu Ye glanced at the two Celestial Wolf Race guards and then ascended into the sky, vanishing with the Shrinking Inches technique in the blink of an eye.

The two astonished Celestial Wolf Race guards shivered, grateful they hadn’t acted impulsively.

Just the method of leaving using Shrinking Inches, along with the terrifying distance... surpassed all the elders in their tribe!

"Well... shall we inform the princess?" the left Celestial Wolf Race guard asked somewhat nervously.

"But what if that person was just speaking nonsense?" the right guard, recalling Princess Qin Qingqing’s methods, turned pale.

They had heard of the princess’s tactics.

Humans couldn’t withstand it, and neither could the Wolf Race!

The left Wolf Race guard trembled in fear but suddenly exclaimed in doubt, "Wait... Lu Yan? That name, it sounds familiar!"

Suddenly, the left Celestial Wolf Race guard cried out, "I remember! On the stone stele, ranked in the top ten, isn’t there a human named Lu Yan?!"

"This information... seems to be worth telling the princess!" the left Celestial Wolf Race guard continued.
