This is the Divine Rune that Lin Mu obtained from that pseudo-magician, who could be considered either lucky or unlucky!

The "Star" Rune of the Starshine Martial God granted him the power to control starlight!

It allowed him to transcend the realm of martial cultivation and enter the domain of divine abilities!

From start to finish, the techniques used by the Starshine Martial God were not part of the Qianyuan Empire’s Martial Way.

Instead, they were the Star Force granted by the Star Rune!

The effect of Lin Mu’s One-character Rune was also very straightforward!

Like that of a certain magician, it temporarily elevated the user by one level!

Boom!

The One-character Rune enveloped him!

Lin Mu’s aura surged rapidly!

Foundation Establishment Peak, Golden Core Initial Stage, Golden Core Middle Stage, Golden Core Late Stage, Golden Core Peak!

In just an instant, Lin Mu reached an unprecedented realm!

This is the power of the Divine Rune!

Crack!

Lin Mu gently moved his finger, and countless cracks appeared in the void!

As if piercing through cheese!

"Stay!"

Lin Mu pointed forward with his finger.

In the void, the Star Rune emitting a terrifying aura was frozen in place like an insect trapped in amber!

All divine might, all powers, all starlight!

In that moment, they disappeared completely!

They were all fixed in the air!

"What kind of Divine Rune is this, capable of elevating an entire major realm!"

The Starshine Martial God opened his eyes wide in astonishment!

Being a possessor of Divine Runes himself, he naturally understood their power.

But, a rune like Lin Mu’s that could elevate an entire major realm was unheard of!

Bang!

At this moment, Lin Mu took a step forward!

One Step, Rivers Shatter!

With Golden Core Peak and even the Exiled Immortal Realm’s perfect execution of the Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps, its power was increased by hundreds of times!

One step forward!

Not only rivers shattered, but the void itself exploded instantly!

A gigantic black hole devoured everything!

The Starshine Martial God’s body trembled, and a tearing pain spread within him.

His body showed signs of breaking apart.

"Impossible! I am the supreme Martial God; how could I die here!"

The Starshine Martial God activated a forbidden technique!

Boom!

The destructive power of Rivers Shatter was forcibly expelled from the Starshine Martial God’s body!

In the next moment, Lin Mu took a second step!

Terrify Ghosts and Gods with the Second Step!

Ghosts and gods trembled, souls quaked!

"I will die!"

Uncontrollable fear rose from within, and the Starshine Martial God was on the verge of fleeing!

"No! This is not my Martial Way will! This is fake! I can’t be influenced by his Dao Arts!"

The Starshine Martial God tried to rely on his powerful Martial Way will to break free from the influence of Ghosts and Gods Shock!

This terrifying influence came from the soul!

Extremely difficult to resist!

Third Step: Heaven and Earth Change!

Lin Mu took a third step!

The Martial Way will that the Starshine Martial God had just begun to muster shattered instantly!

Heaven and earth changed color, spiritual energy went chaotic!

The starlight within the Starshine Martial God’s body lost control instantly!

Countless rays of starlight burst out, piercing his body with countless wounds.

"No!"

The Starshine Martial God roared angrily to the sky.

Four Steps Stars Tremble!

Lin Mu took the fourth step!

Stars trembled, meteors fell!

This blow struck right at the Starshine Martial God’s fatal weakness!

The stars are stars, and starshine is also stars!

He was the one who wielded the power of starlight!

Now, this technique, Stars Tremble, seemed to be his nemesis!

Under the chaos caused by Heaven and Earth Change, the lost-control starlight went berserk!

Boom!

The Starshine Martial God’s body exploded, and endless starlight illuminated all directions!

The Qianyuan Empire’s supreme strength, Martial God!

Dead!

Golden blood rained down from the sky!

"Devour!"

Lin Mu pointed his finger, and forty-nine white gigantic dragons roared forth, devouring everything left behind by the Starshine Martial God!

"Roar!"

A white dragon roared ferociously, its dragon horns turning black!

The Martial God has fallen; the leftover energy is vast beyond measure, and the forty-nine white massive dragons indulge in a gluttonous feast unseen through the ages!

Devour, devour, devour!

Transform, transform, transform!

The forty-nine dragons are all turning black!

"Lin Mu, Invincible!"

"Lin Mu! Invincible!"

"Lin Wudi!"

"Lin Wudi!"

Across realms, the name of Lin Wudi resounds once again!

This time, it is the Revenge Army chanting the name of Lin Wudi!

At this moment, all the soldiers of the Revenge Army cry out in anguish!

A hundred years!

A thousand years!

Ten thousand years!

They have finally awaited this moment!

Awaiting a demon cultivator Martial God of the Qianyuan Demon Country to fall before them!

In their lifetimes, they faced the despair of their small world being conquered and all their loved ones brutally slaughtered!

Then, they endured centuries of humiliation, living under hidden identities in Qianyuan.

In this moment, all pain and resentment are released!

At this moment, even if they were to die for Lin Mu, they would do so willingly!

Lin Mu looked down at the Revenge Army, nearly everyone injured, ecstatic yet filled with immense sorrow, and his spirit quivered.

"Go!"

Lin Mu casually pointed, and the energy left behind by the fallen Starshine Martial God swept toward the Revenge Army below!

How vast the Martial God’s energy is!

Under the baptism of energy, the entire Revenge Army advances!

The centurions rise to thousand-man generals, the thousand-man generals rise to ten-thousand-man generals, and the ten-thousand-man generals ascend to Martial Saints!

Three Martial Saints of the Revenge Army climb to the peak of Martial Saint!

Feeling the changes within their bodies, all members of the Revenge Army knelt, prostrating themselves, performing the full-body salute!

Mournful music resounded in the sky, and golden blood rain descended from above.

A part of the world mourns for the fallen Martial God!

The Qian Yuan Empire, and the entire Thousand Worlds of the Universe, feel the shock brought on by the fall of the Martial God!

"Infinite Buddhas!"

Mo Lu chanted a Buddhist name and approached Lin Mu, "You killed Starshine, surely it will cause a shock in the Qianyuan Empire!"

"From today on, no one will underestimate you. I fear next will be six Martial Gods and two great priests hunting you down relentlessly."

Lin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly, "If it’s a battle they want, it’s a battle they’ll get!"

Crack!

Almost as he spoke, the divine rune fragments within him entirely dissipated!

Fragments are, after all, just fragments!

Merely using them once overwhelms and completely destroys them!

Lin Mu’s aura plummeted instantly.

From the Golden Core Peak, it fell back to the Foundation Establishment Peak.

"You were actually just at the Foundation Establishment Stage..."

Mo Lu’s eyes shone brilliantly, "Emperor Zun, you are stronger than in your past life!"

Having regained his memories, he naturally wasn’t unfamiliar with the realms of cultivation and immortal cultivation!

He didn’t expect the current Lin Mu to be even stronger than Lin Mu as Emperor Zun in his past life!

"The realm is somewhat weak, but I have already found a way to advance."

Lin Mu’s tone was indifferent, showing little change for having killed a Martial God.

"You’re referring to the Burial God Ground?"

Mo Lu understood tacitly.

Since Lin Mu has touched upon the Qian Yuan Empire’s most secretive divine rune, surely he would know of the Burial God Ground.

"Correct, I will form my Golden Core in the Burial God Ground!"

Lin Mu possessed the "Heavenly Dao Laws Record."

Understanding one law leads to clarity in myriad laws!

According to his previous plan, he intended to use the Heavenly Dao Laws Record as a foundation and spend a hundred years crafting an unprecedented perfect Golden Core!

But with the appearance of the divine rune, a shortcut opened up for him.

He can completely absorb the divine rune and speed up the formation of his Golden Core!

In five years, or even two years, he could craft a uniquely illustrious Golden Core!

In the previous life of the Immortal Realm.

Advancement from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core Realm, the number of innate divine skills one comprehends represents inherent potential and influences the Golden Core’s quality!

One divine skill results in a one-turn Golden Core!

Three divine skills make a two-turn Golden Core!

Nine divine skills lead to a three-turn Golden Core!

Previously, if Langya formed her Core.

With her martial path and aptitude in the twelve styles of Godslaying, Demon Slaying, and Immortal Execution, coupled with the Nine Steps of Heaven and Earth, she could at least comprehend seven or eight innate divine skills and achieve the two-turn Golden Core!

Possibly even aspire for the three-turn Golden Core!

But Lin Mu’s goal is the supreme, where all laws converge, a Purple Mansion Golden Core beyond the ninth turn!
