Chapter 314 - 171: Great Dream of the Stars, Like a God

BOOM!!

The ultimate Star Blade Qi instantly slammed into the rotating Sword Qi Defense Shield, unleashing a terrifying roar. Ripples like ocean waves spread out from the point of impact!

The next moment, under the onslaught of the ultimate Star Blade Qi, spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared across the Sword Qi Defense Shield. Then, with a loud ’BANG,’ it shattered completely. The incomparably sharp Star Blade Qi tore through the sky with unstoppable Momentum, slicing through everything as it pierced Qin Wushuang’s body and slashed down toward the earth below!

BOOM!!

An abyssal chasm hundreds of miles long instantly appeared on the collapsing, shattered ground below. The residual Sword Qi annihilated the surrounding rubble.

A long while later...

High in the void, Qin Wushuang’s eyes were wide. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out. Then, his body split into two halves. The surface of the cut, left by the Sword Qi, was as smooth as a mirror. Blood gushed out, spraying across the heavens and the earth as his corpse fell like a weightless object, kicking up a cloud of dust upon impact.

Suspended in the sky, Gu Yun’s clothes fluttered without a wind, and his hair danced wildly. His handsome face was expressionless, his eyes watching everything with cold indifference. Arcs of Thunder flickered around him, tearing at the void, and his entire body radiated a terrifying pressure.

"Urgh!!"

Suddenly, Gu Yun let out a muffled groan. Blood seeped from his nose, eyes, and ears, his face turning as pale as paper. His body staggered in mid-air, and he nearly plummeted from the sky. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself in the end.

His entire being felt extremely weak, as if he had been hollowed out. At the same time, a wave of drowsiness washed over his mind.

"Huuuh..."

Gu Yun took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay alert. A hint of wistfulness flickered in his eyes.

’That feeling of having everything under my control... It really is something else!’

’But the price...’

’I feel so drained, so sleepy!’

He felt drowsy, on the verge of sleep.

"Qin Wushuang actually lost. How interesting."

"This kid is a goddamn genius!"

In a hidden space somewhere, a hint of surprise showed in the Light and Shadow Tower Spirit’s eyes.

But the look of anticipation in its eyes was practically bursting forth.

’This kid might just have a chance of clearing the One-Star Tower.’

"Ten thousand years...

Do you have any idea how I’ve spent these last ten thousand years?!"

It’s been ten thousand years, and I’m still stuck in the Celestial Essence Realm. Now, finally, there’s a glimmer of hope that I can leave this place.

"The heavens haven’t forgotten me after all!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

Outside, deep within the Qingyuan Mountain Range, a pale golden spatial vortex pulsed, covered by writhing Seals carved with esoteric runes. Suspended in the air above it were four Tongxuan True Monarchs, each radiating a terrifying aura.

"That fellow has some nerve, making the four of us wait for him here," Wei Qingming, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, remarked wryly from mid-air. Tall and dignified in his black Daoist Robe, he was wreathed in the Five Elements Dao Rhythm.

"Enough talk. When he comes out, we take him down directly."

A flash of killing intent crossed the eyes of Bai Buran. He was a tall and imposing figure in a white robe, handsome, with dark red pupils. The Blood Evil Dao Rhythm surging from his body seemed to warp the very heavens and earth.

The other two figures floating in mid-air remained silent, their eyes closed in meditation.

Suddenly, Qin Tianyang—who wore a crimson battle robe, had a powerful Physique, a square face filled with authority, and radiated a Blazing Dao Rhythm—snapped his eyes open.

A terrifying aura surged from him, making the surrounding space feel as if it were about to collapse. His gaze swept over the others, and he slowly began to speak.

"Ye Xuantian... he has come to the Southern Wilderness!"
