A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 558: Where There Are Stars… He Will Remain Invincible

"...That’s three."

The quiet words had barely left his lips when the air around him suddenly rippled.

Without warning, two spatial cracks tore open on either side of him.

From within those distortions, a pair of massive beast heads surged forth... nearly identical to the False Crown in size and ferocity, yet lacking the dark crown and the three crimson orbs.

Their jaws were already wide open, rows of razor fangs descending from both sides to crush him in a simultaneous bite.

The coordinated ambush was instantaneous.

Yet when the two enormous maws clamped shut—

There was nothing between them.

Li Feng’s figure had already disappeared.

In the next moment, he reappeared high in the air some distance away, dark cloak fluttering lightly as he floated in silence.

His empty eyes calmly observed the scene below.

From the two spatial cracks, the rest of the beasts’ bodies began to emerge.

Soon...

Two additional colossal flame-wreathed beasts pulled themselves fully into the ruined capital, their forms nearly identical to the original False Crown... only lacking the sovereign crown that marked the primary existence.

At the same time, the scattered fragments of the original False Crown twitched violently.

Crimson flames surged once more as the main body began to regenerate yet again, flesh and fire rapidly reconstructing amid the bisected remains of the capital.

What had been a single calamity... was now becoming three.

Li Feng floated high above the ruined capital, watching the two additional flame-wreathed beasts fully emerge while the original False Crown continued its regeneration.

There was no surprise on his face.

Only that same empty, distant calm.

Because... this much had been within his expectations.

"..."

Slowly, the sky above him began to change.

It did not shatter nor did it explode.

Instead, the atmosphere itself parted... like a vast curtain being drawn aside by an invisible hand.

The thick smoke, the blood-red dome of the Fen Dynasty, and even the residual light of the burning capital were pulled outward, revealing what lay beyond.

...A cold, boundless expanse of stars.

The true night sky of the universe unfolded above the ruined dynasty, vast and indifferent.

In that moment, the battlefield no longer felt confined to a single mortal realm.

It was as though a fragment of the greater cosmos had been allowed to gaze down upon the earth.

This was another of the Starforge Body’s hidden authorities.

A living star did not merely burn... it warped the space around it.

Through mass and existence alone, it curved the structure of reality... pulling, bending, and rewriting the paths of all things that entered its domain.

What Li Feng was doing now was a crude, incomplete application of that principle: forcibly extending a stellar gravitational domain into the surrounding world, peeling back the local sky and imposing a higher order of space upon the battlefield.

Gravity, under the will of a star, was no longer just attraction.

It became dominion.

Li Feng’s empty eyes reflected the unveiled starry cosmos above as he calmly raised one hand.

"...[Starfall Domain]."

The moment the quiet name left his lips, an invisible, crushing weight descended from the parted sky.

Heavy gravity... vast, absolute, and refined through the authority of a living star fell upon the three flame-wreathed beasts below.

The ground beneath them cracked and sank further, as if an immense weight was pressing down upon them.

Their colossal bodies were forced downward, limbs buckling under a pressure that did not come from spiritual energy or brute force, but from the fundamental law of stellar mass itself.

Even the regenerating flames around the original False Crown flickered unsteadily as the gravitational dominion locked onto all three existences at once.

The primary False Crown’s massive body trembled violently under the crushing weight.

Its claws dug deep furrows into the ruined earth as it forced itself halfway up, fangs clenched tight against the overwhelming pressure.

[What... is this...!?]

The distorted roar carried both fury and genuine shock.

For an incomplete calamity that had just devoured the life force of an entire dynasty, being pressed into the dirt by pure gravitational force was a humiliation beyond measure.

High above, Li Feng watched its struggle with cold indifference.

Then a faint sneer curved across his lips.

"...Still standing?"

He slowly opened his hand further.

And in the unveiled cosmos behind him, the distant stars responded to his will.

One by one, they brightened... cold, merciless points of light flaring with sudden intensity as more stellar mass was drawn into the dominion field.

Then—

The gravitational pressure multiplied in an instant.

The ground beneath the three beasts completely gave way.

The original False Crown was smashed further into the earth, its colossal frame sinking deep into a newly formed crater as cracks spread outward for miles.

The two crownless clones fared far worse.

Unable to withstand the sudden escalation, their massive bodies were crushed outright.

Their bones shattering, flames extinguishing, and flesh compressing under the absolute weight until both incomplete beasts were reduced to nothing more than sprawling, bloody messes of ruined meat and dying embers.

But even under the crushing [Starfall Domain], the False Crown forced its massive head upward.

Its burning eyes locked onto the parted sky above Li Feng... onto the unveiled cosmos and the cold stars shining beyond the mortal world.

Something within that vast expanse seemed to catch its attention as it noticed that the man appeared to be borrowing power from the stars themselves.

A sharp light flashed through its gaze, and in that instant, the calamity appeared to reach a decision.

High above, Li Feng also noticed the shift.

"...So it’s going to use that, huh."

His murmur was quiet, almost unsurprised.

Without hesitation, he raised one hand toward the star-filled sky and spoke in a low, resonant voice that seemed to carry beyond the battlefield.

"Oh old stars... lend me your light and life."

"[Star Sacrifice]."

The moment the authority was invoked, the cosmos answered.

One by one, the distant stars above him flared with violent brilliance... then exploded.

Silent, magnificent detonations bloomed across the unveiled night sky as stellar bodies gave up their light and existence in answer to his call.

Streams of pure, ancient starlight poured downward like cascading rivers of silver and gold, flowing from the dying stars toward the dark-cloaked figure floating above the ruined capital.

If anyone had been able to look up at that moment, they would have witnessed a sight beyond mortal comprehension.

The sky itself had become a canvas of cosmic death and radiance.

Countless stars flared white-hot before bursting into expanding spheres of light, their final brilliance painting the heavens in overlapping waves of silver, azure, and pale gold.

Trails of sacrificed starlight arced downward like divine meteors, weaving together into a vast, luminous current that converged upon a single human figure standing against the void.

As the cascading starlight poured into his body, Li Feng’s empty eyes remained calm.

Inwardly, he assessed the process with cold clarity.

[Star Sacrifice] followed a principle similar to the [Collapsing Star Fist].

The difference lay in the source.

Where the [Collapsing Star Fist] required him to compress, sacrifice, and detonate the stars within his own cultivation, this authority forced existing stars in the external cosmos to offer up their light and life instead.

The resulting influx of pure stellar essence temporarily elevated his strength across the board... not as a single explosive attack, but as a short-lived, comprehensive reinforcement of the vessel he currently occupied.

Even so, there was a clear limit.

This past body was far too weak.

It could not endure an unrestricted flood of sacrificed starlight without collapsing under the strain.

But he had no intention of pushing it that far... because he only needed just enough.

...Enough to prepare for activating .
