"It seems like the old geezer is hiding many things from us," Kai said, with a chuckle. His eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Let it be. We are already connected by a contract," Liang said, shaking his head in resignation. His expression held a mix of frustration and understanding.
Kai looked around, a sense of wonder on his face. "Where are we now, by the way?" he asked, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.
Liang’s eyes flickered with knowledge. "We are on the White Blaze world, one of the eight planets in the solar system," he replied, his tone filled with both awe and respect.
The Astral solar system was a magnificent sight to behold, with its composition of eight planets arranged in perfect order. At the center of the system stood the starry night world, serving as the headquarters of the esteemed Starry Sky Alliance.
Each of the other seven planets in the system was ruled by an expert of the half-step void transformation realm, each one of them possessing formidable power and influence.
As for the Starry Night world itself, it held a special significance. Situated at the heart of the solar system, it was orbited by seven celestial bodies, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Rumor had it that the Starry Night was home to twenty immensely powerful Void Transformation Realm experts, making it the center of authority within the Alliance.
The man who oversaw this grand faction and held the position of the Alliance’s leader was none other than Star Devourer Daoist. That was the name by which he was known throughout the Astral system, a name that instilled fear and awe in the minds of all who heard it.
The rumors surrounding Star Devourer Daoist were numerous and intense. Some claimed to have witnessed him devouring entire planets while others insisted he had the power to consume even small stars. What made these rumors all the more believable was the fact that those who spoke of such feats were renowned experts, their credibility unquestionable.
Such tales only served to instill fear in the hearts of those who speculated on Star Devourer Daoist’s true power and intentions.
But one thing is certain: until now, no other peak expert dared to challenge the position of Alliance Leader held by Star Devourer Daoist. His reputation alone was enough to make others hesitate.
Rumors of Star Devourer Daoist’s battle prowess had spread far and wide throughout the Astral system, even surpassing the reputation of many void transformation realm experts. Some even referred to him as the second sovereign, a title that carried immense weight and respect.
"This world, like the rest, should have at most two half-step void transformation realm experts," Liang explained. His words, tinged with caution, brought a twitch to Kai’s mouth.
"Don’t you think that’s too big for us to chew?" Kai asked, a mix of doubt and trepidation evident in his voice.
Liang chuckled, finding amusement in Kai’s apprehension. "Don’t you like risks?" he quipped, his expression lighthearted.

Kai’s eyes twitched, his own sense of adventure battling against the doubts and worries that plagued his mind. "I do, but we are in a different situation now," he admitted, his voice filled with uncertainty.
Liang’s chuckle grew louder, his confidence unwavering. "You don’t need to worry, we still have another trump card," he assured, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Kai’s eyes lit up with anticipation, his smile widening. "What is it? Tell me."
"Though the bloodline purification has erased my cultivation, it has refined my body even further," Liang said nonchalantly, his words carrying a sense of pride.
Kai smiled, intrigued by Liang’s revelation. "To what degree?" he inquired, his interest piqued.
"If I am not wrong, it shouldn’t be any less than a seventh-grade expert," Liang replied confidently, his voice laced with assurance.
Kai’s eyes sparkled with excitement, his smile growing wider. "It sounds like a feast awaits us in this world."
Liang’s smile matched Kai’s excitement as he confirmed their intentions. "Indeed, it does. However, we must proceed with caution," he cautioned, a glimmer of malice in his eyes.
Kai’s curiosity piqued, his voice filled with intrigue. "How so?" he pressed, eager to understand Liang’s plan.
Liang’s eyes sparkled with a sinister edge, a sense of vengeance flickering within. "Who do you think should hate the Starry Sky Alliance more than us?" he questioned, a satisfied smirk gracing his lips.
Kai’s eyes widened as realization washed over him. "You mean the Mortal Ascension Legion? But I don’t think they are aware of what happened in the Devil Realm," he replied, his mind racing to connect the dots.
Liang’s smile turned wicked, his satisfaction palpable. "They will know soon enough, my friend," he assured, his voice tinged with confident certainty.
An evil grin etched onto Kai’s face, his eyes glinting mischievously. "Indeed, they will. But how do you plan to inform them?" he inquired, his eagerness for mischief evident.
Liang’s smile grew wider, a secretive glint in his eyes. In one swift motion, he produced the Legion badge, a symbol of their connection. "Oh, I have my ways," he replied with a cryptic tone, his confidence unwavering.
Liang’s eyes flickered with malice, a hint of vengeance radiating from his gaze. "Who do you think should hate the Starry Sky Alliance more than us?" he asked knowingly, his voice filled with satisfaction.
Kai’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful glimmer. "You mean the Mortal Ascension Legion? But I don’t think they know of what happened in the Devil Realm," he replied, his mind racing to connect the dots.
Liang smiled, amusement evident in his expression. "They will know soon," he assured, his voice tinged with a sense of impending triumph.
An evil smile graced Kai’s lips as he contemplated the implications. "Indeed, they will. But how will you inform them?" he questioned, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Liang’s smile widened, a secretive glint in his eyes. In one swift motion, he produced the Legion badge without uttering a word.
Recognition dawning on him, Kai’s eyes flickered with amusement. "Oh, I see," he said with a knowing nod, understanding the plan.
"You have recorded the battle between them, right?" Liang asked, seeking confirmation.
Kai shook his head, his voice filled with mischief. "Recorded? What need would I have for doing that?" he asked rhetorically, his smile growing wider.
Liang’s eyes narrowed in mild annoyance. "Haven’t I told you to record everything?" he inquired, a touch of frustration lacing his words.
Kai shrugged nonchalantly, a smirk playing on his lips. "Who needs a recording when I have Jiang’s memories?" he remarked, his voice laced with playful arrogance.
Liang nodded in acknowledgment, a sense of relief washing over him. "Then let’s send it to the Legion now," he declared, his voice filled with determination and certainty.
Without wasting any time, Kai took the badge and put it on his forehead. Soon, it began to glow with an intense light before the light went dim again.
"That should do it," Kai chuckled, a sinister undertone to his laughter. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he held the Legion badge in his hand.
Liang nodded, a sly smile playing on his lips. "You should keep it," he suggested, his voice filled with a mixture of amusement and practicality. "It’s not exactly comfortable to put and take things out with my serpent form."
Kai smiled and nodded in agreement, carefully slipping the Legion badge into his space ring.
"What do you think the Legion’s reaction will be?" Kai asked, a small smile playing on his lips as he anticipated the answer.
Liang’s smile widened, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. "Most likely a war," he replied, his voice tinged with anticipation.
A mischievous spark danced in Kai’s eyes as he responded with a knowing smile. "Ah, I see. That would be a good opportunity to gather sin qi too," he remarked, his voice filled with a hint of eagerness.
Liang’s smile turned into a smirk. "Well, you shouldn’t count on it too much," he advised, a touch of caution in his tone.
Curiosity etched on his face, Kai tilted his head in confusion. "Why not?"
Liang’s gaze held a hint of seriousness as he explained, "If I am not wrong, this war will involve only the most powerful experts."
A mischievous glint appeared in Kai’s eyes as he replied, "Like half-step void transformation realm experts, for example?" He emphasized his words with a subtle wink.
Liang’s smirk widened into a satisfied grin, acknowledging Kai’s understanding. "Exactly," he confirmed. "The Starry Sky Alliance wouldn’t engage in a war without deploying their most formidable forces, especially those at the half-step void transformation realm."
"Well, that would certainly be bad news for them," Kai replied, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of the Starry Sky Alliance realizing the magnitude of their imminent downfall.
Liang’s gaze grew intense, his eyes flickering with anominous light. "That would only be the beginning," he stated, his voice tinged with a hint of darkness.
Kai’s eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice filled with intrigue.
