The moment the voice resounded, sword light intertwined into a massive net, enveloping the starry sky and trapping both the Starlight Mist Spirit King and Lin Moyu within it.

The sword light was incomparably sharp, radiating powerful law.

It closely resembled the Starlight Mist Spirit King's law of starlight, but was far more potent.

“Is he a True God or a God King?” Lin Moyu wondered, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The Starlight Mist Spirit King shrieked incessantly, its voice filled with terror.

Lin Moyu saw an imposing figure approaching, dazzling and brilliant like a star hurtling through the starry sky.

"I've waited for you for years. You've finally come out."

"Once I obtain your core, I'll surely be able to step into the God King realm."

From his words, Lin Moyu deduced that the newcomer was a peak 9th tier True God, only a single step away from becoming a God King.

The information displayed by the other party soon confirmed his guess.

[Name: Fang Xingzong]

[Realm: 9th tier True God]

At the 9th tier True God realm, Fang Xingzong had mastered at least 26% of law, and possibly as much as 30%.

By comparison, Lin Moyu had mastered only 3%.

Every additional 1% of law mastery brought a tremendous increase in power.

Combined with the enormous gap in soul realm, the difference between them was practically insurmountable.

Lin Moyu knew that no matter how formidable his defenses were, if Fang Xingzong truly wanted to kill him, then with soul tracking, a single strike would be enough.

The Starlight Mist Spirit King continued to shriek, its voice trembling with fear. It was clearly afraid of Fang Xingzong.

A faint smile appeared in Fang Xingzong's eyes.

"You've hidden for all these years. This time, there will be no escape."

As he spoke, he slowly clenched his fist.

The sword net woven from the law of starlight contracted abruptly, instantly shredding the Starlight Mist Spirit King into pieces.

The creature shrieked and unleashed blinding starlight in a desperate attempt to heal its wounds.

Yet before Fang Xingzong's law of starlight, its efforts were utterly futile.

The Starlight Mist Spirit King could never have imagined that it would perish under the very law it had excelled in.

If it had known this would be its fate, it would have remained hidden within the star.

Why had it ever left the safety of its shelter?

A colossal sphere of light erupted, illuminating the entire starry sky. Its radiance spread far beyond the surrounding space, traveling outward at the speed of light.

As a True God realm entity, the light released by the Starlight Mist Spirit King upon its death was even more brilliant than a star.

Perhaps 53 years from now, its final radiance would reach the Planet No. 98-1.

The speed of light was constant and unaffected by other things.

After the Starlight Mist Spirit King's death, the blinding radiance made it impossible for Lin Moyu to open his eyes.

Through his soul perception, however, he witnessed everything that happened.

A multicolored Starlight Core materialized in the void.

It was the essence of the Starlight Mist Spirit King—a True God-grade Starlight Core and the sole proof that the creature had ever existed.

Lin Moyu could sense the extraordinarily powerful law of starlight contained within it.

Fang Xingzong summoned the Starlight Core into his palm and burst into hearty laughter, "Not bad. Not bad at all."

Lin Moyu could not tell what exactly Fang Xingzong meant by "not bad," but it was obvious that the man was in excellent spirits.

Lin Moyu bowed slightly toward him, "Thank you for saving my life, Senior."

Fang Xingzong waved his hand dismissively, "Little guy, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't drawn out the Starlight Mist Spirit King, who knows how much longer I would have had to wait?"

Lin Moyu quickly shook his head, "It was merely an unintentional act on my part."

Fang Xingzong had a booming voice and a straightforward manner of speaking.

"Intentional or not, what you did benefited me, so you deserve my thanks!"

"I have a use for this True God-grade Starlight Core, so I can't give it to you. Just tell me what you need."

From his manner, Lin Moyu could tell that Fang Xingzong was genuinely a straightforward person.

He disliked beating around the bush and preferred to say and do things directly.

People like him also tended to have another trait: once they made up their minds, they followed through without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Moyu remain silent, Fang Xingzong grew impatient.

"Little guy, I don't like owing favors. Whatever you want, just say it. If I have it, I'll give it to you. If I don't, I'll find a way to get it. As long as it's not too unreasonable, I'll generally agree."

Since Fang Xingzong had put it that way, Lin Moyu didn’t stand on ceremony.

"Senior, could you give me the remains of a True God realm creature?"

Fang Xingzong was stunned for a moment, "What do you need that kind of thing for?"

He had assumed Lin Moyu would ask for pills, weapons, or perhaps points.

He had never expected him to ask for the remains of a True God realm creature.

Fang Xingzong couldn't help frowning—not because he was unwilling to give them to Lin Moyu, but because he genuinely didn't have any on hand.

"Which tier of the True God realm do you need?"

"Any tier will do."

Fang Xingzong nodded, "I don't have one on me right now, but that's no problem. I'll look for one when I get back. Let's exchange contact details. Once I find one, I'll have someone deliver it to you."

Lin Moyu didn't hesitate and immediately gave Fang Xingzong his contact information.

"Planet No. 98-1, Lin Moyu... 3rd tier Transcendent God..."

Only then did Fang Xingzong notice Lin Moyu's realm. Astonishment flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help taking a few more looks at him.

He had witnessed Lin Moyu's performance earlier—from triggering the Starlight Mist Spirit riot and stepping forward to save people amid the chaos, to ultimately luring out the Starlight Mist Spirit King.

Even after being trapped by the Starlight Mist Spirit King, Lin Moyu had remained composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

In Fang Xingzong's eyes, Lin Moyu's conduct had been flawless.

He couldn't help sighing in admiration, "To possess such strength at the Transcendent God realm... Young and promising indeed."

Lin Moyu remained modest, "Senior, you flatter me. I still have a long way to go."

Fang Xingzong waved his hand, "No need to be humble. I never speak nonsense. If I say you're young and promising, then you are."

"Though you recklessly triggered the riot at first, your actions in saving people afterward were commendable."

"If I had acted myself, the Starlight Mist Spirit King would have sensed my presence and never revealed itself."

"So, in the end, your actions accomplished what I had been waiting decades to achieve."

"Now, I can finally break through from the True God realm and become a God King."

Lin Moyu cupped his fist, "Then allow me to congratulate you in advance, Senior."

Fang Xingzong nodded, "Alright. Once I obtain a True God realm corpse, I'll have it sent to you."

Lin Moyu expressed his gratitude once more, "Thank you, Senior. It doesn't have to be a complete corpse. An incomplete one will do, and there's no rush."

"Duly noted." Fang Xingzong nodded, stepped onto his sword, and shot away like a streak of starlight.

His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he had vanished from sight.

Lin Moyu looked toward the empty starry sky where the Starlight Mist Spirit King had once been. The remaining Starlight Mist Spirits had long since disappeared into hiding.

He didn't bother searching for them.

Taking out the Godslaying Fortress, Lin Moyu sped away.
