Ch 319: Battle Of The Yuanshen
Hearing the Star Monarch’s provocation, some Human Grandmasters were worried.
They were worried, on the one hand, that the Star Venerable’s Dao Heart was damaged, and that under the sharp and malicious verbal attacks of the Star Monarch, the Star Venerable might experience confusion and hesitation on his cultivation path.
After all, he was still so young, and even though his temperament was resolute, it was hard to guarantee that he would not fall into the delusion of self-doubt when facing the manipulative techniques of such an old timer as the Star Monarch.
On the other hand, they were even more afraid that the Star Venerable would develop resentment towards the Human Race because of this.
The Star Venerable is the future Hope Star of the Human Race. If, because of the Demon Race’s schemes of discord, he were to become estranged from the Human Race, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A Human Grandmaster furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, “The Star Venerable is young, he may not be able to withstand such provocation, what should we do?”
Some geniuses from both the Human and Demon Races were also affected by the Star Monarch’s persuasive language, and they had thoughts of giving up on survival.
They looked at the Star Venerable and the Star Monarch constantly attacking each other on the battlefield, their hearts filled with frustration and despair.
“Yes, we have cultivated for so long, and we are not as capable as they were when they were just born. What’s the point of us living? We might as well die.”
A Demon Race Genius’s eyes were vacant, he mumbled, his body trembling slightly, his face ashen, and his life force beginning to dissipate.
An Ox Demon beside him, who was slow to react, seeing his friend in this state, thought that his friend had been attacked by an Illusion Technique. Scared, he directly used a set of Ox Demon combination punches on his friend, and his friend instantly turned into a pig’s head.
But the effect was also obvious, his friend quickly came to his senses.
Immediately looking bewildered, feeling a little dizzy, he wondered what had happened to him.
After the Ox Demon’s explanation, omitting some details.
His friend discovered his current situation and was immediately drenched in cold sweat, realizing that he had fallen into a delusion.
The Star Monarch and the Star Venerable are truly terrifying. They were affected even from this distance. How much pressure must the two of them in the center be bearing?
The Demon Race Genius shook his head violently, as if trying to shake off the terrifying thought from his mind. Gritting his teeth, he pondered to himself, “How could I be so easily swayed? The path of cultivation is inherently full of thorns. If I give up because of these few provocative words, wouldn’t that be a betrayal of my years of hard work and belief?”
Some Human geniuses who had come to their senses also looked at each other, seeing firmness in each other’s eyes. They clenched their fists, and their fighting spirit was rekindled in their hearts.
Ling Yu listened to the Star Monarch’s wanton mockery and provocation, his heart unmoved.
Although what he said was true, what difference did it make?
Everyone’s starting point is different, so their growth trajectory and speed are also different.
Humble beginnings are not a mistake. Flexibility and resilience are the hallmarks of a true man. One should simply follow their own life rhythm step-by-step.
To consider him like those young people who have just left their sects, complaining about injustice at the slightest obstacle, railing against heaven and earth, is utterly childish.
The world is not simply about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.
Villains don’t always look like villains; on the contrary, they are more gentlemanly than anyone else.
After all, which country’s founding didn’t start from gangs, thugs, and hooligans? They just changed their clothes after succeeding, but how much can their nature really change?
Ling Yu nimbly dodged the Star Monarch’s attacks and calmly replied, “Haha, Elder, times have changed. Every era has its own methods. The methods of today are not necessarily inferior to those of yesterday. Only the methods suitable for the present era are good methods.”
“Although you are a Primordial Divine Saint, so what? It is no longer your era. This era belongs to every young person of every race.”
“You Primordial Divine Saints are naturally powerful, able to cross the Void, summon wind and rain, merely with your physical bodies upon birth. But how many eons did it take you to take shape? Was it one hundred eons, one thousand eons, ten thousand eons, or even countless chaotic years?”
“If I were given that time, I would have long since surpassed you all, becoming a Dao Lord. What are you still being proud about? Comparing who cultivated to resemble a human first?”
“As for cultivation techniques, I have plenty of time to obtain them through my own abilities, without stealing or robbing, openly and honestly, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
After hearing Ling Yu’s reply, the Star Monarch’s face instantly turned crimson, like pig liver.
His eyes widened, his gaze furious, and the veins on his forehead bulged, like winding little snakes.
His body trembled slightly, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, with a “kacha” sound from his knuckles.
“Humph! Ignorant brat, how dare you utter such boastful words!”
The Star Monarch roared, his voice like thunder echoing between Heaven and Earth, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space.
The young people of both the Human and Demon Races were shaken upon hearing this.
The Human young people were deeply inspired by Ling Yu’s words; their eyes shone with a fervent light, as if their hearts were ignited with flames.
“The Star Venerable is right! We cannot be discouraged by innate differences. As long as we work hard, the future will definitely belong to us!”
A Human Genius excitedly shouted.
The Demon Race young people were shocked by Ling Yu’s courage and confidence, and they also re-examined their relationship with their elders.
“This Star Venerable is truly extraordinary. Perhaps we of the Demon Race should not always rely on innate advantages, but also strive like him,” a Demon Race Genius murmured thoughtfully.
Seeing Ling Yu belittling the Primordial Divine Saints so much, the Star Monarch was furious.
This was their pride, how could they be looked down upon?
“Since you say that Primordial Divine Saints are not necessarily stronger than Acquired Beings, then I will let you know the difference between the two, and let you thoroughly understand your own insignificance and ridiculousness!!”
With a flash of starlight, a miniature version of the Star Monarch jumped from his physical body and directly entered Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Divine Court.
Entering Ling Yu’s Purple Mansion Divine Court, the Star Monarch saw the Star Venerable’s Yuanshen, which was only nine feet tall.
The Star Monarch’s Yuanshen, which was four zhang tall, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He was right; not only were Acquired Beings physically weak, but their Yuanshen were also extremely weak.
Ling Yu’s Transformation Technique had been cultivated to perfection; his Yuanshen’s appearance was exactly the same as his physical appearance.
A Yuanshen like the Star Venerable’s, once without the protection of a physical body, would be pulled into reincarnation by the powerful Earthly Dao Power of Hongyuan Continent if it remained separated from the body for too long, thus leading to death and extinction.
Unlike those Primordial Races, who were born incredibly powerful, their Yuanshen could escape the Earthly Dao Power’s restriction even when separated from their bodies, making them immortal.
At the same cultivation realm, the stark contrast between Ling Yu’s nine-foot Yuanshen and the Star Monarch’s four-zhang Yuanshen was apparent.
Seeing the Star Monarch appear in his Purple Mansion Divine Court in the blink of an eye, Ling Yu had to admire the Star Monarch’s power. His arrangements within the Purple Mansion were useless against the Star Monarch, who had forcefully broken through.
He then said, “Star Monarch, you are truly audacious to dare to separate your Yuanshen and come to someone else’s territory. You really don’t take me seriously.”
A battle of Yuanshen is far more dangerous than a Magical Battle; the slightest carelessness could result in damage to the Yuanshen, turning one into an idiot, causing irreversible harm.
It seems that he had already stimulated the Star Monarch to the point of losing his composure.
