Ch 317: Exposed
The Star Monarch felt Ling Yu’s power growing stronger with the passage of time, and he began to grow serious.
Then he unleashed various fist techniques, finger techniques, palm techniques, and leg techniques.
Each one was effortlessly executed, unleashed casually, each strike possessing infinite power, shattering the void.
His moves were as continuous as the surging river.
He struck at Ling Yu again and again.
Facing a serious Star Monarch, Ling Yu was immediately beaten back repeatedly, smashing countless mountain peaks behind him.
Blood continuously flowed slowly from the corner of his mouth, his robes torn by the Star Monarch’s fierce force, he was in a sorry state.
But Ling Yu immediately shifted his magical power, his injuries healed, he flashed and continued to grapple with the Star Monarch.
However, relying solely on martial dao power, Ling Yu could only leave a few white marks on the Star Monarch, unable to even break through his defenses.
In a few moves, Ling Yu was again struck by the Star Monarch, falling to the earth, his skin torn, bones broken, and his wounds shocking.
Even the Star Mask on his face was shattered by the Star Monarch’s punch.
A middle-aged man’s face was revealed, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a resolute face, and bright eyes.
Everyone showed surprise after seeing the Star Venerable’s true face beneath the Star Mask.
The Human Race geniuses widened their eyes, observing carefully, their faces filled with eagerness, was the Star Venerable’s true identity finally about to be revealed?
“Goodness! Is this the Star Venerable’s true face?”
“He’s so charming!”
“How can someone so young possess such formidable strength?”
“How did he cultivate to such a level?”
A Human Race genius muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock and excitement.
The Demon Race geniuses also looked at each other, their original fear of the Star Venerable now tinged with curiosity.
“I thought he was an Old Monster, but he’s actually a young man. How did he cultivate?”
A Demon Race genius muttered softly.
Zhen Tian of the Kui Niu Clan scratched his head, saying in a low, rumbling voice, “Is this the Star Venerable’s true appearance? I wonder what kind of divine being he is, to have hidden himself for so many years.”
Yin Jiu chuckled grimly, “Knowing his true appearance is good. Then we can learn all his secrets and deal with him much easier.”
Ling Yu, who had been beaten underground, did not give up, immediately activating the Origin Cave Heaven, his magical power flowing, his injuries instantly recovering.
He soared into the sky and relentlessly attacked the Star Monarch with fists and feet.
He found that after several times of breaking and rebuilding, his physical body was constantly strengthening, how could he miss such a chance to grow stronger?
The Human Race geniuses saw the Star Venerable repeatedly knocked away, yet fearlessly charging at the Star Monarch again and again, they were moved, and felt anxious for him.
“Venerable Star, you must hold on!”
Jiang Linyuan held his long spear tightly, his knuckles white, his eyes full of admiration: “The Venerable Star’s courage and perseverance are a model for us all. If it were me, I would have given up long ago.”
Ji Chengwen’s Xiaoyao Fan stopped swaying, his brow furrowed, anxiously watching the battlefield: “Although the Star Venerable is injured, he shows no intention of retreating, such tenacity is truly admirable.”
Murong Feixue was also amazed: “Such powerful recovery ability is unparalleled.”
Si Kong Jing beside her said: “Indeed, the recovery ability is astonishing, but the Star Venerable is only using martial dao power now, not Cave Heaven Power, perhaps he is refining his own martial dao!”
After listening, Murong Feixue thought carefully and nodded: “That’s right, he hasn’t used the Cave Heaven Dharma Image for a long time. Junior Martial Sister Si Kong’s Linglong Sacred Body is indeed extraordinary, her observation is meticulous.”
“Senior Martial Sister Feixue, don’t tease me. Everyone knows how powerful your Tai Yin Sacred Body is!”
Si Kong Jing said slowly.
Seeing the Star Venerable like an undying cockroach, falling and rising, rising and falling, the Demon Race geniuses showed varied reactions.
Some Demon Race geniuses laughed wildly.
“Haha, Star Monarch is indeed powerful, this Star Venerable is nothing special!”
“He won’t be able to get up in a short time.”
Others, seeing Ling Yu’s fearless appearance, were both shocked and afraid.
“This man is terrifying, he can’t be killed!”
Yin Jiu narrowed his eyes, his lips slightly curled upwards, he snorted coldly: “This Star Venerable does have some spirit, but to be an enemy of our Demon Race is to seek their own demise.”
Tu Hong looked thoughtfully at Ling Yu, secretly calculating in his heart: “Such a powerful Star Venerable, if he could be used by our Demon Race, or if we could win over those around him, it might be beneficial to our Demon Race’s great cause.”
Seeing Ling Yu charging at him again and again recklessly, the Star Monarch also knew that Ling Yu was using him as a sparring partner, and he wasn’t annoyed.
In any case, he was having a great time fighting.
Then he laughed heartily: “This is interesting, for how many years has it been, I haven’t had such a satisfying fight.”
“Star Venerable, I acknowledge you. You are worthy of knowing my origin. Remember, my name is Si Ming, born from the Ancient Firmament at the dawn of Hongyuan Continent.”
Ling Yu snorted coldly: “No wonder you are so powerful!”
“I figured, from your life force I sensed the traces of time, this is not something an ordinary Demon Race can possess.”
“If I’m not mistaken, this is not your True Body!”
After hearing Ling Yu reveal the Star Monarch’s true identity, the Human Race geniuses were in an uproar.
“Born from the Ancient Firmament? This Si Ming Star Monarch is so ancient, no wonder his strength is so terrifying.”
“The Star Venerable is facing such a powerful being, can he really cope?”
Everyone was discussing, their worries evident.
The Demon Race geniuses showed respect, Zhen Tian of the Kui Niu Clan was especially excited, unexpectedly able to see an Elder of their Demon Race.
Other Demon Race geniuses were also excited, for a time, the Demon Race camp was filled with laughter.
The Human Grandmasters, who were constantly paying attention to this place, had serious expressions.
Secretly cursing the Demon Race’s shamelessness.
They also felt the seriousness of the situation, facing such an Old Monster, they wondered if the Star Venerable could cope.
The Star Monarch wasn’t surprised that Ling Yu could guess his background.
He laughed heartily: “You are indeed quick-witted, you are right, this is just one of my external avatars, but it’s not an ordinary avatar, otherwise, how could I make the entire Mortal Transformation Heaven’s Demon Race submit?”
Ling Yu snorted coldly again: “Your Demon Race is truly shameless. Old fogies like you, instead of comprehending the supreme Road, you come to Mortal Transformation Heaven to show off your power and bully us juniors.”
The Star Monarch wasn’t angry at being scolded by Ling Yu for being shameless, after all, the Demon Race was in the wrong this time. Success would have justified everything, but they ultimately failed and were caught red-handed.
He smiled indifferently: “If not for old fogies like me, how could I mobilize the entire Mortal Transformation Heaven’s Demon Race?”
“You disrupted our clan’s ten thousand-year plan. I thought you, like me, were a Human Grandmaster with other purposes in Mortal Transformation Heaven.”
“Unexpectedly, judging by the life force you leaked, you are only in your twenties. Why did you transform into a middle-aged man’s appearance? Do you have some secret you don’t want to reveal, or do you have some unusual hobby?”
