Ch 320: Damaged Yuanshen
Regarding Ling Yu’s warning, the Star Monarch scoffed disdainfully, “To consider you? Ha ha, with that Yuanshen of yours, not even reaching my knees, are you trying to make me laugh?”
“Before absolute power, all your words are nothing but the furious rantings of the powerless.”
“Today, I will utterly crush your weak Yuanshen, using facts to make you understand the insurmountable chasm between Primordial Divine Saints and those spirits born after Heaven and Earth.”
“It’s not just a difference in physical bodies, but more importantly, the power of the Yuanshen Origin.”
“My Yuanshen, born at the beginning of the Hongyuan Continent, absorbed endless spiritual essence, how could it be compared to your Yuanshen condensed from the turbid qi of later times?”
Having said that, the Star Monarch cast the “Star Soul Annihilation” spell.
His Yuanshen was surrounded by converging starlight, transforming into dark stars, which, like meteors, carried world-destroying power and rushed towards Ling Yu’s Yuanshen.
Wherever they passed, Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Space seemed to be torn apart, with waves of black spatial ripples appearing. Once this force struck, it was enough to shatter Ling Yu’s Yuanshen, causing him to fall into endless darkness and chaos, with his soul and consciousness completely annihilated.
Faced with the Star Monarch’s instantaneous breakthrough of his Purple Mansion’s defense, Ling Yu couldn’t help but secretly marvel at the power of such a Primordial Divine Saint.
But he wasn’t easy to mess with either. With his Auxiliary Cave Heaven protecting him, he wasn’t worried about his Yuanshen at all. Could even a powerful Primordial Divine Saint break a Hongmeng world already under someone else’s control?
But Ling Yu didn’t remain idle. To deal with the Star Monarch’s four-zhang Yuanshen with his own nine-chi Yuanshen, he’d probably still not reach their knees even if he jumped, a complete case of using an egg to strike a stone. Unless he could actually make the Star Monarch laugh to death.
Ling Yu used the spirit-infesting technique he learned from the Spirit-Infesting Wood Demon on himself, and immediately a Spirit-Infesting Clone appeared in his Purple Mansion Divine Court. His nine-chi Yuanshen then entered the Spirit-Infesting Clone, making its height no less than the Star Monarch’s.
Seeing the Spirit-Infesting Clone suddenly appear in the Purple Mansion Divine Court, and in the blink of an eye, the Star Venerable’s nine-chi Yuanshen was comparable to his own star Yuanshen. He was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, “Flashy tricks, childish skills, you dare to show off in front of me!”
Faced with the Star Monarch’s attack, Ling Yu’s Spirit-Infesting Clone directly used the Star Mirage technique.
After fighting the Star Monarch for so long, the Star Monarch’s spells and methods had already been learned by him through his Auxiliary Cave Heaven.
A layer of star mist appeared in the originally bright Purple Mansion Divine Court, enveloping Ling Yu’s entire Purple Mansion Divine Court.
Directly obscuring the Star Monarch’s vision and his Spiritual Sense investigation.
With the sudden appearance of the star mist, the Star Monarch’s Spiritual Sense investigation was blocked, and he lost Ling Yu’s position, rendering his soul attack ineffective.
This is the advantage of home-field advantage.
“If it were just a Yuanshen duel, I would have already been killed by the Star Monarch.”
Ling Yu muttered to himself.
“Fortunately, I not only have the Auxiliary Cave Heaven’s protection, but also the Spirit-Infesting Clone as a method to deal with him, making me inherently invincible. What can the Star Monarch use to fight me?”
“Star Venerable, you think with a little trick, you can avoid my attack?”
The Star Monarch roared, his voice echoing through the star mist, causing ripples to spread across the mist.
“Star Monarch, don’t be arrogant. Today is the day of your fall.”
Ling Yu’s voice came from all directions in the mist, with a hint of determination.
Unable to find Ling Yu’s True Body, the Star Monarch began to use his powerful Yuanshen to wildly bombard Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Divine Court.
Beams of Yuanshen starlight, like arrows, shuttled through the mist. Wherever they went, the spatial barriers of the Purple Mansion Divine Court trembled slightly, as if they would collapse at any moment.
Ling Yu hadn’t expected the Star Monarch to be so unreasonable.
The Purple Mansion Divine Court is not a physical body; it can’t be restored at will.
Ling Yu dared not hesitate any longer. He directly used his strongest method, manipulating his Auxiliary Cave Heaven, this Primordial Supreme Treasure, transforming it into a golden light that directly rushed towards the Star Monarch who was wildly bombarding the star mist.
The Star Monarch suddenly saw a golden light emerging from the star mist in front of him. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Sense was limited, and he didn’t detect it in time. By the time his Yuanshen warned him, the golden light was already in front of him.
He could only hastily mobilize his Yuanshen’s energy to gather in front of him, attempting to defend himself.
But it was too late. The golden light came too fast; he could only rely on his incredibly rich combat experience to defend. He didn’t even see clearly what was in the golden light before half of his Yuanshen was shattered.
With his Yuanshen damaged, the Star Monarch was shocked and dismayed.
He immediately gathered up the shattered fragments of his Yuanshen and fled Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Divine Court, heading towards his physical body.
The geniuses of the Human and Demon Races, seeing the Star Monarch’s Yuanshen enter the Star Venerable’s Purple Mansion Divine Court, all looked extremely solemn. After all, Yuanshen battles are extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could result in Yuanshen damage, which would be difficult to recover from.
Some individuals from the two races with ulterior motives, seeing the two motionless physical bodies, developed greed. If they could obtain and refine them into puppets, how powerful would they become? They too could then roam the Mortal Transformation Heaven like the Star Monarch and Star Venerable.
Unfortunately, before they could approach the two bodies, they were crushed to pieces by the energy ripples left behind by the two’s battle from miles away.
Only then did everyone discover these cultivators who had hidden themselves with ulterior motives.
The atmosphere immediately became tense again.
Some geniuses sneered, “Truly presumptuous. The combat power of the Star Venerable and Star Monarch has long surpassed the limits of the Mortal Transformation Heaven. If they were willing to comprehend the Laws, their combined strength would be a proper Fifth Realm Strong One, even one capable of cross-level challenges. How could these insignificant beings covet them?”
Then they stopped looking at those ill-intentioned, ignorant fools.
At that moment, they suddenly saw the Star Monarch’s Yuanshen return to his physical body, rather disheveled, and significantly smaller.
What happened?
In such a short time, the Star Venerable could shatter the Star Monarch’s Yuanshen.
How is that possible? The Star Monarch is a Primordial Divine Saint!
“Who exactly is this Star Venerable? To make the Star Monarch suffer such a huge loss!”
A Human Genius widened his eyes in disbelief.
“It seems we all underestimated the Star Venerable’s strength. He might really be able to lead our Human Race to glory.”
Another Human Genius excitedly clenched his fist.
On the Demon Race side, the geniuses looked at each other in astonishment and fear.
“The Star Monarch actually lost? How is this possible?”
“Could it be that our Demon Race truly cannot defeat the Human Race?”
At this time, the Star Monarch, back in his physical body, was pale and his breath was disordered.
He never imagined that he would suffer such a huge loss in a Yuanshen battle.
“Star Venerable, I swear I will not be a man until this revenge is avenged!”
The Star Monarch gritted his teeth and swore.
In Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Divine Court, his Spirit-Infesting Clone slowly dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The seemingly brief battle was extremely dangerous. The slightest mistake would have resulted in damage to the Yuanshen Origin, leaving irreversible injuries that would make reaching the Road impossible.
“That Star Monarch is indeed formidable. If I didn’t have so many methods, I would have probably fallen here today.”
Ling Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart.
