Zheng Dong activated the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, placing it before him.
The Soul Suppressing Pagoda transformed into a colossal pagoda of one hundred and eight layers, reaching the heavens and earth, blocking the descending sun.
Following this, Zheng Dong used the Chalice of Faith, its peculiar power seemingly attempting to brainwash the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow.
Affected, the sun formed by the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow became unstable, showing signs of collapse.
Seizing the opportunity, Ling'er commanded the elemental spirits of light, darkness, and others to launch a fierce assault.
The Starry Sky Three-legged Crow could no longer withstand the onslaught and suffered severe injuries.
Soon, Zheng Dong smashed its head with a single punch.
Unfortunately, it did not die.
Starlight coalesced, and the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow quickly regenerated.
Zheng Dong frowned.
This was proving to be troublesome.
Was this creature unkillable?
Refusing to yield, Zheng Dong, along with Ling'er and the elemental spirits, continued their attack on the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow.
He soon kicked off one of its legs.
It was still useless; before long, the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow's leg reformed.
Subsequently, Zheng Dong launched a series of attacks.
After multiple probes, he discovered the energy core of the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow: a star god crystal the size of a fist.
The star god crystal was hidden within the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow's belly. Shattering it would resolve the issue.
Zheng Dong once again unleashed his bloodline power, and the Candle Dragon's phantom manifested.
Instantly, the flow of time around the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow slowed.
The Starry Sky Three-legged Crow's movements seemed to freeze, showing no reaction for a long time.
Taking advantage of this moment, the elemental spirits of light, darkness, wind, fire, and others unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously.
The terrifying power tore the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow apart.
The star god crystal, hidden within its belly, was revealed and seized by Zheng Dong.
A sharp glint flashed in Zheng Dong's eyes.
The phantom of the God of Slaughter White Tiger appeared, its golden radiance enveloping Zheng Dong's right hand.
With a resounding crack, Zheng Dong unleashed the God of Slaughter White Tiger's bloodline power, crushing the star god crystal.
After dealing with the Starry Sky Three-legged Crow, handling the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit became much easier.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zi was struggling to hold off the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit.
Although the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit was smaller than Xiao Zi, it was incredibly powerful.
It possessed three blood-red eyes, and beneath its three-lobed lips lay incredibly sharp fangs.
It could even wound the divine bodies of Lower Gods.
One of Xiao Zi's legs was bitten, bleeding profusely.
Enraged, Xiao Zi unleashed its Starry Sky Black Hole.
Facing the immense gravitational pull and destructive force of the Starry Sky Black Hole, the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit strangely vanished from its spot.
It reappeared behind Xiao Zi.
Its crimson eyes fixed on Xiao Zi, a fierce glint flashing, and it unleashed its divine skill, Wrath of the Moon God.
Scythe-like moonbeams rained down, appearing to flay Xiao Zi alive.
Xiao Zi unleashed its ultimate skill, the Indestructible Golden Body, formed by the combination of Gold Protection, Gold Devouring Body, and Enhanced Self-Healing.
Yet, it was still difficult to withstand the Wrath of the Moon God.
Scars from the moonbeams were etched across its body.
Just as it was about to suffer critical damage, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda moved before Xiao Zi, shielding it.
Zheng Dong, along with Ling'er and the elemental spirits, rushed forward.
The Starry Sky Moon Rabbit's expression turned serious, seemingly realizing it couldn't withstand the combined assault. It decided to fight with its life, unleashing its divine skill, Moonfall!
This was a self-detonation skill, intending to take Zheng Dong with it.
The Starry Sky Moon Rabbit's body began to inflate like a balloon, releasing countless starlights.
Sensing the terrifying power, Zheng Dong, along with Xiao Zi, Ling'er, and the elemental spirits, retreated into the Soul Suppressing Pagoda.
He then activated multiple life-saving skills to resist the energy released by the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit's self-detonation.
With a deafening roar, a terrifying force surged outwards like a tidal wave.
Anyone not possessing the strength of a Lower God would be severely injured or even killed by this power.
Inside the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, Zheng Dong felt it vibrate violently. The immense power, even penetrating the pagoda, injured many of the weaker elemental spirits.
After the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit fell, Zheng Dong and Xiao Zi exited the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, returning to the Starry Sky Corridor.
The phantoms of the Starry Sky Moon Rabbit and Starry Sky Three-legged Crow on either side of the corridor had vanished.
Subsequently, a projection of the Starry Sky Supreme appeared. It looked at Xiao Zi, ignoring Zheng Dong.
"Passing this trial proves your strength, but it's not enough to obtain my inheritance.
If you can refine this shard of the Star Devourer's divine personality, you might have a chance!"
The projection of the Starry Sky Supreme flicked its finger, sending a shard of divine personality radiating starlight towards Xiao Zi.
Xiao Zi eyed the divine personality shard greedily and, without hesitation, used its Infinite Devour to swallow it.
Immediately, it felt a surge of law power permeating its entire body.
This was the Law of Devouring, a perfect match for Xiao Zi.
However, this divine personality shard belonged to a Star Devourer that had reached the level of an Upper God.
It was difficult for Xiao Zi to refine it.
Furthermore, after swallowing the shard, it felt intense pain.
It was as if its flesh was being torn from its bones, every muscle ripping apart.
It couldn't help but let out a pained cry.
Sensing Xiao Zi's suffering, Zheng Dong frowned.
He needed to find a way to alleviate Xiao Zi's pain and help it refine the divine personality shard.
After all, the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme had stated it was difficult to refine.
Additionally, judging by the Starry Sky Supreme's projection's attitude towards him,
Zheng Dong believed its primary target for inheritance was the Starry Sky Giant Beasts.
As for Beast Masters, the possibility of obtaining its inheritance was extremely low.
Of course, Zheng Dong didn't mind. As long as Xiao Zi obtained the Starry Sky Supreme's inheritance, it would be equivalent to him obtaining a portion of it, and he would also benefit greatly.
Subsequently, Zheng Dong instructed Ling'er to use the quasi-divine skill Life Protection to ensure Xiao Zi's safety.
He, in turn, used the combined skill ultimate, Super Speed Growth, to help Xiao Zi heal its wounds.
Brilliant starlight erupted from Xiao Zi's body, its form seeming on the verge of exploding, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams of pain.
With Zheng Dong's assistance, Xiao Zi's condition improved slightly, but it remained extremely uncomfortable.
In its agony, Xiao Zi unleashed the quasi-divine skill Gravity Manipulation.
Instantly, distant meteorites and planets on either side of the Starry Sky Corridor were drawn towards Xiao Zi by the gravitational influence.
The range of Gravity Manipulation was vast, with the influence diminishing the farther away the celestial bodies were.
If the void of the universe were a giant net, planets and meteorites were moving within it, and Xiao Zi's Gravity Manipulation was the key to plucking this net.
Under Xiao Zi's Gravity Manipulation, the first to be affected were the smaller meteorites.
A dense shower of meteorites rained down upon Xiao Zi like a meteor storm.
Xiao Zi used Infinite Devour to swallow them one by one.
Devouring these meteorites seemed to alleviate the pain.
Xiao Zi reveled in it, continuously using Gravity Manipulation.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong did not intervene, instead continuing to find ways to ease Xiao Zi's suffering.
He produced many of the resources he had collected previously and gave them all to Xiao Zi.
As Xiao Zi continued to refine the divine personality shard,
it soon began to form a nascent divine personality.
Xiao Zi's nascent divine personality was primarily based on the Law of Devouring, supplemented by the laws of Gold, Earth, Darkness, and Space.
The birth of the nascent divine personality enhanced Xiao Zi's strength and lessened its pain.
However, the divine personality shard of an Upper God had not been fully refined.
Xiao Zi had only managed to refine less than a tenth of it.
Continuing the refinement process within the Starry Sky Corridor, an unknown amount of time passed.
By then, the meteorites flying towards Xiao Zi had transformed into larger planets.
Continuously devouring meteorites and planets, Xiao Zi's strength rapidly increased.
The power it could now unleash reached the standard of a Pseudo-God.
Perhaps by fully refining this divine personality shard, it could form its own divine personality.
At this moment, the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme spoke again:
"Your perseverance is commendable; being able to digest the benefits I provide is also a manifestation of strength. However, the trial is not over. Whether you can endure it depends on your talent!"
Following this, the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme vanished.
The environment of the surrounding Starry Sky Corridor changed once more.
Brilliant starlight flickered, and a colossal Star Devourer appeared.
This was the corpse of a Star Devourer that had reached the level of an Upper God, converted into a puppet. Its unleashed strength could reach the peak of a Lower God.
Unlike the previous puppets, this puppet had developed consciousness.
It spoke:
"By devouring you, I can break free from this damned restraint and revive!"
Immediately, it unleashed the quasi-divine skill Starry Sky Black Hole.
A noticeably larger and more stable Starry Sky Black Hole appeared, its suction and destructive power far exceeding that of Xiao Zi's Starry Sky Black Hole.
Instantly, surrounding planets and meteorites veered off course, being drawn into this Starry Sky Black Hole.
Xiao Zi even felt its own Starry Sky Black Hole becoming unstable, seemingly on the verge of collapsing under the opponent's Black Hole.
Xiao Zi itself was involuntarily pulled towards the opponent's Starry Sky Black Hole.
Of course, Zheng Dong and the elemental spirits like Ling'er faced the same fate.
Pulled by the terrifying gravitational force, they were constantly drawn closer to the Starry Sky Black Hole, destined to be consumed by it.
Sensing the immense power of this Star Devourer, Zheng Dong unleashed various bloodline powers to resist the suction and destructive force of the Starry Sky Black Hole.
This Star Devourer's strength was clearly superior to his and Xiao Zi's.
To defeat it, Xiao Zi's talent in comprehending skills from the divine personality shard would be tested.
However, Zheng Dong couldn't place all his hopes on Xiao Zi; he also had to find a way to deal with this Star Devourer.
His greatest strength currently lay in his physical body and the various bloodline powers within it.
If he pushed his bloodline powers to their absolute limit and utilized their corresponding laws, he might be able to contend with this Star Devourer.
Bloodline powers were like tools in Zheng Dong's hands, allowing him to wield their corresponding laws.
Zheng Dong didn't necessarily need to understand these laws; as long as he could use them, he could unleash formidable combat power.
It was akin to using a computer without understanding programming.
Bloodline powers granted Zheng Dong this capability.
Instantly, the nearly solidified phantom of the Candle Dragon appeared, its massive form coiling around Zheng Dong, its eyes glaring at the Star Devourer.
Through it, Zheng Dong wielded the Law of Time.
Time around them almost ceased to flow, its passage becoming incredibly rapid.
Zheng Dong's understanding of the Law of Time was far inferior to his pet cat, the Chronos Cat Demon.
However, through the Candle Dragon's bloodline power, he could unleash a more potent temporal force than the cat.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't completely halt time using the Candle Dragon's bloodline power.
Merely slowing its flow consumed a significant amount of energy.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong's expended elemental energy could be replenished by Ling'er.
Ling'er, who commanded the All-Elemental Dimensional Sea, could replenish elemental energy through the Dimensional Sea and the surrounding dimensional spaces.
This allowed him to sustain his continuous bursts of power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling'er and the elemental spirits also launched fierce attacks on the Star Devourer.
However, the Star Devourer's hide was thick, and it had activated the divine skill Devouring Body, rendering it unharmed.
Its eyes were filled with mockery as it looked down at Zheng Dong, Ling'er, and the elemental spirits.
It was as if they were clowns performing, and they were left untouched.
After all the attacks had landed, it remained completely unscathed.
After all, its body was still that of an Upper God, making it difficult to injure.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong was also surprised.
Dealing with this Star Devourer was proving to be more difficult than he had anticipated.
Xiao Zi also felt the pressure, glaring at the opponent in anger and desperately refining the divine personality shard, hoping to form its own divine personality.
However, the refinement speed remained slow.
At this point, the Star Devourer began its counterattack.
It didn't use any skills, merely its colossal body to send the elemental spirits flying.
Then, it swiped a claw towards Zheng Dong.
Its claw was enormous from Zheng Dong's perspective; a single segment of its finger was larger than Zheng Dong.
The entire claw blotted out the sky, seemingly intending to crush Zheng Dong with a single blow.
Zheng Dong dared not be careless and used Spatial Teleportation to evade.
However, the surrounding space was affected by the Star Devourer's power, significantly reducing the range of Spatial Teleportation. He failed to move out of the Star Devourer's attack range.
Just as he was about to be flattened, Zheng Dong unleashed the ultimate skill, Starry Sky Leap, a combination of Jingjing's quasi-divine skill Interstellar Shuttle and Spatial Teleportation.
Instantly, Zheng Dong vanished from his spot and reappeared behind the Star Devourer.
The Star Devourer's contemptuous gaze showed a hint of surprise.
It had never expected Zheng Dong to evade its attack and easily appear behind it.
However, it was merely surprised.
After all, in its eyes, Zheng Dong was no more than an ant-like insect, posing no threat.
With a casual flick of its tail, it lashed out at Zheng Dong.
This scene was reminiscent of a farmer swatting away annoying flies with a bull's tail.
If struck, Zheng Dong would be severely injured, if not killed.
He unleashed the ultimate skill Starry Sky Leap again to evade.
However, constantly evading was not a viable strategy.
He condensed numerous clones and began to counterattack.
Each of his clones possessed ninety percent of his own strength.
Furthermore, each clone unleashed a different bloodline power, launching attacks at the Star Devourer.
The clones wielding the God of Slaughter White Tiger, Prison Suppressing Divine Elephant, and Earth Titan bloodline powers unleashed the strongest attacks.
