Hidden cultivators, drawn by the chaos, were consumed by a colossal beast they could not comprehend. The powerful entity inhabiting Li Feng's body dismissed the illusion of his past, questioning the premature existence of the Starforge Body and Sever. After absorbing Sever's power and transforming his robes to black, Li Feng effortlessly bisected the False Crown and the entire capital city with a single strike, acknowledging the timeliness of his opponent's arrival.

Amid the collapsing dust and fire, the two severed halves of the False Crown’s colossal body twitched.

Then, with an unnatural, almost casual motion, the divided sections began to pull toward each other.

Crimson flames surged from the wounds like living threads, stitching flesh, bone, and fire back together at a speed that defied reason.

In the span of a few breaths, the catastrophic injury sealed itself as if it had never existed.

The moment its body was whole again, the False Crown did not attack.

Instead, its massive form launched backward in a single powerful leap, putting a vast distance between itself and the dark-cloaked figure standing calmly amid the ruined capital.

The three crimson orbs on its dark crown pulsed warily.

For the first time since its emergence, the playful arrogance in its posture had vanished completely, replaced by genuine caution.

Its burning eyes locked onto Li Feng.

[...Who are you?]

Li Feng did not answer immediately.

He simply stood amid the bisected ruins of the capital, the dark cloak settling around his figure as the residual shockwaves of destruction continued to fade.

The black fur collar framed his face, and those empty, lightless eyes regarded the distant False Crown with quiet indifference, as though the question itself held little importance.

After a moment, a faint, almost lazy smile curved across his lips.

"...Does it matter?"

He took a single step forward.

The cracked ground beneath his feet made no sound, yet the pressure in the air subtly deepened.

The dark energy inherited from [Sever] still lingered faintly around his arm, ready to be called upon again at any time.

"You were already cut once."

His gaze remained fixed on the warily retreating beast.

"If you stay still... you’ll only be cut again."

Suddenly, the False Crown’s eyes narrowed sharply.

In the next instant, its colossal body vanished from its position in a sudden, explosive leap, putting even greater distance between itself and the dark-cloaked figure.

But—

The moment it left that spot—

A silent, invisible slash passed through the empty air.

In the next breath, the very space where the False Crown had just been standing was cleanly cut in half.

Reality itself split along a perfect, absolute line... leaving a long, gaping rift in the air that refused to close, as if the world had been severed by something that did not belong to ordinary laws.

The False Crown’s burning eyes finally widened in recognition.

[A Divine Authority and Law!?]

"Bingo."

The calm voice came from directly above.

Before the beast could even react, Li Feng was already standing atop its massive head... his dark cloak fluttering lightly, one hand resting casually in his pocket, as if he had been there the entire time.

The False Crown had not sensed his approach at all.

In the next instant, Li Feng lifted his foot.

He didn’t gather energy or make any grand motion.

He simply brought his heel down in a light, almost negligent step.

The first silent line of darkness passed through the False Crown’s head—

But it did not end there.

In the same instant, countless additional invisible slashes bloomed outward from the point of contact, unfolding like the petals of a dark flower.

In the span of a single breath, the colossal head that had towered over the capital was reduced to countless fragments of minced flesh and scattered fire.

Yet the attack did not stop.

The invisible slashes continued downward without losing even a fraction of their absolute edge.

Silent lines of severance carved through the air and sank into the earth below.

The already split ground of the capital was sliced again and again in elegant, radiating patterns.

It looked as if a dark flower of absolute severance had blossomed across the heart of the Fen Dynasty.

Li Feng’s figure drifted lightly through the air above the ruined capital.

Below, the headless body of the False Crown suddenly twitched.

Even without its head, the colossal flame-wreathed form turned toward him with unnatural precision.

From the gaping wound of its severed neck, a dense, unstable ball of energy began to gather... crimson light twisting violently as pure destruction compressed into a single point.

In the next instant—

A massive blast of crimson light erupted from the headless neck and rushed straight toward Li Feng like a collapsing star of annihilation.

But he did not dodge.

Standing calmly in the path of the incoming destruction, Li Feng merely lifted his gaze and murmured in a quiet, almost instructional tone,

"...Starforge Body isn’t just about making the body stronger."

The crimson beam slammed into him.

Yet the expected explosion never came.

The moment the devastating light reached his vicinity, it was forcibly diverted... bent and scattered as if the space around him had become something the attack itself could not touch.

The beam of pure destruction split apart upon contact with an invisible boundary, flowing harmlessly past his figure like water parting around an unmovable star.

"...It is to become the star itself."

The diverted crimson light continued to stream past him on all sides, unable to touch even the edge of his cloak.

Within the invisible boundary surrounding his body, the destructive energy was not blocked through brute force, nor was it overpowered by a denser aura.

It was redirected.

Like a true star in the void, the Starforge Body generated a field that treated incoming energy according to its nature.

Harmful, unstable, or hostile forces that entered this domain were subject to an automatic separation... bent away along the curvature of the field rather than allowed to collide with the core.

In the same principle by which stellar gravity and radiation pressure could divert or shear incoming matter and energy around a living star, the Starforge field peeled the False Crown’s destructive blast apart and guided it harmlessly outward.

There was no clash of strength and no contest of output.

The attack simply failed to remain on a path that would intersect him, as if the space around Li Feng had quietly rewritten the rules of approach.

It was something he had learned, and he called it [Starfield].

Through long years of life, war, and near-death comprehension, he had gradually unearthed the deeper layers of this physique... layers that even him would never even suspect existed.

The ability to generate a star-field that automatically diverted harmful energy was only one of them.

Buried within the Starforge Body were many other hidden authorities.

What he was using now was merely the surface of that understanding.

...Yet, [Starfield] was not absolute.
