Chapter 1077 - 345: Power of the Stars 19.41, Assessment, One-Move Instant Kill of an Integration Stage Great Demon

Even compared to Tian Mingyue, a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, Zhang Lingfeng did not consider himself inferior to the opponent. In terms of the mastery of Star Power and Life Mass, he should be able to crush the opponent.

However, due to the flaws in his magical techniques and divine arts, he couldn’t fully exert his 17.41 of Star Power, which would be quite disadvantageous when facing Tian Mingyue.

But he had another identity.

As a soul master who had undergone the Fourth Transformation of soul power, he was fully capable of compensating for the gap in magical techniques and divine arts between him and Tian Mingyue. In general, at this moment, Zhang Lingfeng was already among the outstanding cultivators in the Integration Stage.

Only those whose Star Power and Life Mass surpassed his, and who held an advantage in magical techniques and divine arts, could pose a threat to him.

Yet in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Lingfeng was on the verge of losing the entire Black Water Star Realm, losing his identity as a Dominator. Merging with Taigu No.1 and abandoning the Black Water Star Realm would be Zhang Lingfeng’s only way out.

People were filled with sympathy and envy for Zhang Lingfeng’s situation, of course, with a tinge of schadenfreude.

A Basic Star Domain Lifeform managed to surpass them, become a Great Cultivator in the Integration Stage before them, fight alongside disciples of the Ancient Moon Sect, and even receive rewards from the Alliance. By merging with Taigu No.1, whose Star Mass reached 7.0, even if he lost the Black Water Star Realm, he could quickly rise up and establish himself in the Ancient Moon Sect.

Like most people, those cultivating in the Great Imperial City did not think Zhang Lingfeng would actively enter into Shen Rufeng’s tribulation for the sake of Black Water Star Domain Life.

Everyone believed that the wisest choice was to give up Black Water Star Domain Life and choose to merge with Taigu No.1.

Zhang Lingfeng disregarded and ignored people’s thoughts and perceptions about him.

He followed the routine of cultivating with everyone, trying various methods to practice ’Coast Along’ thoroughly, helping himself earn enough ’Coasting Along Value’ to strive for another enhancement of Black Water Star Domain Life Mass.

Unfortunately, as his strength improved,

His Star Power surpassed 17.0. The three teachers, Peng Meilin, Zhuoyue, and Lu Yun, could no longer guide him in his cultivation. Their insights into life and understanding of Star Power only surpassed Zhang Lingfeng in theory.

In actual application, perhaps they couldn’t even match Zhang Lingfeng.

Of course, the three of them were Tribulation Crossing Immortals; their individual Life Mass and Star Power values were greater than Zhang Lingfeng’s. In terms of strength or foundation, Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t compare with them.

Only in the understanding of life’s meaning did Zhang Lingfeng have a deeper comprehension than they did. For this reason, the ’Coasting Along Value’ he gained from them diminished sharply from several billions a day to two billion daily.

Time swept by.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Finally came the assessment of the Ancient Moon Sect.

During these three months, Peng Meilin and the two others, along with Qin Tiancang, persistently persuaded Zhang Lingfeng to merge with Taigu No.1, to avoid being dragged into Shen Rufeng’s tribulation, but Zhang Lingfeng continuously refused.

And today,

Zhang Lingfeng, along with all those who secured a place for the assessment, left the Great Imperial City and headed to Abyss One to participate in the Ancient Moon Sect assessment.

At that moment, many geniuses, who also secured a place for the assessment and who normally did not cultivate in the Great Imperial City but in their respective family Star Domains, had already gathered here.

Zhang Lingfeng met Shen Qiao’an once more.

Shen Qiao’an had been waiting for Zhang Lingfeng. When Zhang Lingfeng appeared, a noticeable turbulence surged in Shen Qiao’an’s aura. He lost the opportunity to merge with the Jade Planet and could not become a powerful Great Cultivator in the Integration Stage.

Yet, relying on his family’s foundation, Shen Qiao’an still mastered Star Power, though he hadn’t achieved Star integration. In some sense, he was also a cultivator in the Integration Stage, lacking only the Star integration, an existence with a name but no substance.

His place in the assessment didn’t vanish, allowing him to participate just like everyone else.

He had to pass the Ancient Moon Sect’s assessment today to acquire a comprehensive set of cultivation techniques on Star Power from the sect, to help overturn his fate against all odds—conceding was not an option for him.

Losing the inheritance of the World Seed, Shen Qiao’an’s heart ached profoundly.

His hatred towards Zhang Lingfeng nearly turned tangible.

Zhang Lingfeng knew Shen Qiao’an would definitely come for the assessment, for becoming a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect was Shen Qiao’an’s last chance to turn the tables.

But his focus wasn’t on Shen Qiao’an.

The assessment was about to begin, and rumors suggested the time of Shen Rufeng’s tribulation was set during this period. Did he change his mind, fearing death, and refrain from using the tribulation to harm the Black Water Star Domain Life?

If so, it would truly be a joyous occasion for all.

The Black Water Star Domain Life would be free of security threats, he could smoothly become a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, and conveniently thwart Shen Qiao’an from joining the Ancient Moon Sect, completely crippling his rival.

The Ancient Moon Sect is the most powerful sect in the Intermediate Star Domain, capable of contending against the Alliance. Even members of the Shadow Alliance are attempting to infiltrate the Ancient Moon Sect.

In recent years, the Ancient Moon Sect noticed something was amiss, tightening the admission requirements for disciples, which led to a sharp decrease in recruitment numbers.

Especially this year.

Although many have secured a place, less than ten in total managed to pass the assessment and become disciples of the Ancient Moon Sect as they wished.

"The Ancient Moon Sect is dedicated to eradicating all Starry Sky Great Demons and preventing extraterrestrial creatures from Abyss One from infiltrating various Star Domains. Everyone wishing to become a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, to pursue cultivation within the sect, must hunt extraterrestrial creatures in Abyss One.

We have designated a relatively safe zone for you, Abyss One’s North District, Pit Number Two, where the number of extraterrestrial creatures is relatively sparse, and their cultivation is relatively weak.
