Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

The audience members also turned to look, but when they felt the faint but powerful pressure emanating from Stardust, their expressions changed drastically.

The old man in purple robes suppressed his shock and carefully examined the two people in front of him.

When he confirmed that the other party was only at the Eternal True God realm, his expression immediately softened.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you trespass into the private room of my Heavenly Sound Pavilion?"

The old man's tone carried a hint of accusation, while the chains of music remained entangled around those true gods.

Stardust glanced at the True Gods struggling in pain and sneered, "A private room? I don't see any 'elegance' in it."

Upon hearing this, the old man forced a smile: "I see. It seems you enjoy refined pleasures."

He waved and pointed to the door.

"If you prefer a more refined atmosphere, you are welcome to choose another room. Our Tianyin Pavilion offers a wide variety of options to meet the needs of different guests."

In the old man's eyes, the other party was nothing more than an eternal true god who did not know the rules, and that the fact that he was speaking so politely was already giving him a lot of face.

A fierce glint flashed in Mu Qing's eyes, and he was about to lash out when Xing Chen raised his hand to stop him.

"Oh?"

Stardust smiled slightly.

"So what kind of games are available in this room?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be giving in, the old man spoke up.

"This is the 'Between Suffering and Pleasure,' specially designed for distinguished guests to appreciate the torment of music."

He was pointing to those true gods.

"These are all volunteers who participate in the trial. It can both temper their will and please the distinguished guests, killing two birds with one stone."

"Volunteer?"

Stardust's gaze fell on a dying goddess.

"Of course!"

The old man said proudly.

"They all signed a life-or-death contract."

Stardust nodded slightly, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed.

"boom!"

All the musical chains snapped, and the true gods fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"you!"

The old man flew into a rage, and musical runes lit up all over his body.

"How dare you cause trouble in my Tianyin Pavilion?!"

The audience inside the hall also stood up, their faces grim. Most of them had powerful backgrounds; how could they allow anyone to spoil their fun?

The young man in brocade robes slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Where did this rogue cultivator come from, daring to spoil my enjoyment! Does he know who I am?"

Chapter 342 A Moment of Passion

Stardust glanced indifferently at the young man in brocade robes.

"boom!"

In an instant, the young man in brocade robes exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. He was annihilated before he could even scream.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

The clamoring audience members froze in place, their faces still showing anger, but their eyes were filled with terror.

The purple-robed old man's pupils shrank sharply, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

"You...how dare you..."

His voice trembled; he had never expected the other party to kill him outright.

"How dare you! To kill someone in Tianyin Pavilion!"

The old man finally reacted, roared, and a violent sound wave burst from his mouth, transforming into tangible ripples that swept towards the stardust.

However, the sound waves that were powerful enough to shatter the void vanished without a trace as soon as they touched Stardust within three feet of him.

"what?!"

The old man turned pale with fright.

Just then, three figures appeared in the hall, forming a triangle that surrounded Xingchen and his companion.

On the left is a white-robed scholar holding a jade fan, the fan surface painted with countless musical runes; on the right is a cool young man holding a harp, the strings moving automatically without wind; directly in front is a refined middle-aged man waving a folding fan, the two characters "Heavenly Sound" shining brightly on the fan surface.

"Bold maniac!"

The scholar in white shouted sternly.

"How dare you cause trouble at my Tianyin Pavilion!"

"To kill my distinguished guest is an unforgivable crime!"

The young harpist lightly plucked the strings, and a murderous melody suddenly arose.

The refined-looking middle-aged man snapped his folding fan shut and said coldly, "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

The three possessed overwhelming power, clearly indicating that they were all eternal true gods.

Just as tensions were about to rise, a clear and melodious zither tune suddenly rang out.

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a stunningly beautiful woman approaching gracefully. She wore a light purple gauze dress, her skin was as white as snow, her features were exquisite, and her slightly parted lips exuded a captivating charm. With a gentle touch of her jade-like fingers, a seven-stringed zither floated before her, its melodious music stirring the soul.

"Pavilion Master!"

The three eternal gods immediately bowed in respect.

The beautiful woman smiled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xingchen: "Fellow Daoist, I wonder where my Heavenly Sound Pavilion has offended you, that you would want to wreak havoc here?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, yet carried an undeniable authority.

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he transmitted his voice, "Master, this is the Heavenly Sound Pavilion Master 'Qin Xin', whose strength is at the peak of the Eternal True God realm."

Stardust remained expressionless and said calmly, "If you can't stand it, then you take action. That's all."

Qin Xin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then covered her mouth and chuckled: "If you can't stand it, you just take action? The schools are quite... impulsive."

Her slender fingers lightly caressed the strings of the zither, a hint of amusement flashing in her beautiful eyes. In this Xuanming City, no one had ever dared to kill someone so casually in her Tianyin Pavilion.

Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent: "Everyone has their own preferences on the path of cultivation. I take action when I don't like something, just as you take pleasure in tormenting others. It's all about acting on impulse, so what's wrong with that?"

The hall was completely silent; the audience members didn't even dare to breathe.

The three Eternal True Gods looked even more solemn, as they could sense that the person before them was no ordinary Eternal True God.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Xin's eyes, but she quickly regained her charming smile: "Your words are mistaken. My Heavenly Sound Pavilion has its own rules. Those True Gods all voluntarily signed the contract, bearing their own life and death. But you, fellow Daoist..."

Before she could finish speaking, Stardust suddenly raised her hand and waved.

"boom!"

The walls of the entire hall collapsed with a crash, revealing the bustling street scene outside. The wounds of the tormented true gods were instantly healed, and they fled in terror.

"you!"

Qin Xin finally lost her smile, and anger appeared on her beautiful face.

Stardust said calmly, "Now it seems they weren't there voluntarily."

"presumptuous!"

The scholar in white could no longer restrain himself. With a wave of his jade fan, thousands of sonic blades roared forth.

The young harpist played with ten fingers, transforming the sounds of battle into tangible swords.

The refined middle-aged man unfolded his folding fan, and the two characters "Tianyin" transformed into two beams of golden light that slashed down.

Faced with the combined attack of the three eternal true gods, Stardust didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Noisy."

He flicked his sleeve lightly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three of them were struck as if by lightning, coughing up blood and flying backward, crashing heavily into the ruins.

Qin Xin's expression finally changed, and she plucked the strings of her zither with her jade-like fingers: "Your actions today are a capital offense for my Tianyin Pavilion!"

The music transformed into tangible ripples, causing the space within the hall to twist and shatter. The spectators screamed in agony, blood streaming from their seven orifices.

Stardust remained completely still, not even the hem of his clothes fluttered.

"capital offense?"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Just you?"

Qin Xin gritted her teeth and said, "Considering the difficulty of cultivation, I may be spared the death penalty, but I cannot escape punishment! Today, I will teach them a lesson to serve as a warning to others!"

She slammed her hands onto the strings, and a brilliant sound wave shot straight into the sky.

In an instant, the entire Xuanming City heard the sound of the zither.

Stardust could sense that this sound wave was an attack that went straight to his soul, trying to drag him into an illusion from which he could not extricate himself.

Unfortunately, this level of illusion was utterly ineffective against his approaching will of the God-King, and could not have the slightest effect on him.

Qin Xin saw that Xing Chen's expression remained unchanged, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

Even a novice Chaos Ruler would be slightly affected by her "Nine Netherworld Illusion Melody," yet this person before her remained completely unmoved.

Just as Xingchen was about to make a move, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "You two are not allowed to fight inside Xuanming City."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure dressed in a black robe appeared out of thin air between the two of them.

This person had a refined and scholarly appearance, yet possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger, and was surrounded by a faint aura of chaos.
