Chapter 509 - 255: Thunderous Vajra Spell, Wondrous Item Embryo

The cultivators throughout the city watched tensely during this process.

Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was previously embedded into the city wall by the Rhino Star Evil climbed out, looking disheveled, ready to cast magic for support at any moment.

After a brief silence.

Whoosh! Liou Yuan saw a purple light shoot out from the severed neck of the Rhino Star Evil that Lao Xiuyuan had cut off with magic.

As soon as it appeared, it shot away towards the outside of the city wall, trying to flee into the night outside.

Liou Yuan and Lao Xiuyuan wouldn’t let it escape.

"Humph!" Liou Yuan snorted coldly, and golden-red light gathered on his fist, as he struck towards the star evil’s true form with an aerial punch.

Bang! With a casual punch, the area of the decaying city wall shook.

Lao Xiuyuan pointed a finger, and a thin beam of True Essence shot out.

Their attacks were about to land on the star evil’s true form.

Boom! But the purple light suddenly exploded before their attacks could hit it, making both Liou Yuan and Lao Xiuyuan miss their targets.

"Hmm?" Liou Yuan raised an eyebrow, realizing something was wrong, instinctively lowering his gaze to the corpse of the Rhino Star Evil.

He saw a fist-sized purple jelly-like substance had crawled onto the Thunderstruck Horn of the Rhino Star Evil from the severed head, unbeknownst to him.

It turned out that the light was a blinding skill; the star evil’s true form had been lurking this whole time and had only emerged now.

As Liou Yuan reacted and lowered his head, it had already disappeared from the Thunderstruck Horn.

When it reappeared, it was less than three feet from Liou Yuan’s face.

At such a close range, Liou Yuan could smell the thick, putrid odor emanating from the star evil’s true form, reminiscent of the smell of hawthorn flowers.

"Watch out!" The sudden change made Lao Xiuyuan, the closest to Liou Yuan, shout anxiously, unleashing a strong gust of wind to assist.

However, with the star evil’s true form so close to Liou Yuan, his attack was evidently going to be too late.

Wei Miaomeng was directly horrified by the scene.

"It’s over!"

Everyone knew that star evil had no physical form; this eerie existence possessed the terrifying ability to paralyze cultivators and demon beasts alike, rendering them powerless and turning them into puppets once parasitized.

If Liou Yuan were contaminated by that calamity-level star evil, his fate would be even worse than being killed outright.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who had crawled from the wall, also turned pale: "This body cultivator is so strong; if he’s parasitized by the star evil, the entire city would be doomed."

At this critical moment.

Clang! Suddenly, Liou Yuan’s eyes shot out purple-gold glints, tinged with faint red hues.

The Evil Eyes activated.

A strange ripple extended from the depths of Liou Yuan’s pupils, encompassing the star evil’s true form so closely.

The star evil’s true form, almost upon Liou Yuan’s face, was forced to freeze mid-air by the power of the Evil Eyes.

After Liou Yuan broke through to Foundation Establishment, the power of the Evil Eyes grew even more potent, let alone against this frail star evil true form.

Even at its peak, Liou Yuan could still immobilize it with a glance.

"Hey! You picked the wrong person!"

Liou Yuan laughed mockingly, took a deep breath.

The next instant, a deafening roar erupted from within Liou Yuan’s chest.

Roar! Liou Yuan’s Celestial Spirit True Essence swirled, condensing above him into the illusion of a golden lion.

It howled at the sky, the sound merging with the sonic wave from Liou Yuan’s chest, unleashing a power far exceeding the Lion’s Roar Spell at the Great Achievement Realm.

Golden sonic ripples spread centered on Liou Yuan’s true form.

The star evil’s true form bore the brunt.

Wherever the golden ripples passed, the star evil’s true form trembled violently before, under the gaze of many eyes, exploding suddenly.

Poof! The fist-sized star evil true form shattered into countless fragments.

When Liou Yuan saw the star evil’s true form collapse, only then did he close his mouth, halting the Lion’s Roar Spell’s sonic wave.

The city’s civilians, if the Lion’s Roar Spell were allowed to continue spreading, many would be inadvertently harmed.

Even though Liou Yuan deliberately restrained the power of the Lion’s Roar Spell, the cultivators on the city wall nearby were still affected by its residual waves, many were stunned on the wall, and some even spat blood and lost consciousness.

"Buddhist Sect’s magic!" Looking at the disappearing golden lion illusion above Liou Yuan, Lao Xiuyuan showed an interested expression.

Wei Miaomeng and the defending Foundation Establishment cultivators didn’t care much about this, relieved to see Liou Yuan’s roar vanquish the star evil’s true form.

What they didn’t see was that at the moment the star evil’s true form exploded.

A purple vibrant light, visible only to Liou Yuan, flew out from the collapsing star evil, entering his body, absorbed by the Fixed Star Compass floating within him.

The purple luminous energy finally transformed into a palm-sized, ivory-like Rhino horn.

"Is this the magical artifact embryo?" Liou Yuan used his Divine Sense to glance at the horn on the Fixed Star Compass, a realization dawning in his heart.

But now was not the time to inspect the magical artifact embryo, Liou Yuan merely glanced at it and withdrew his Divine Sense.

His gaze calmly swept over the night-bound city.

With the death of the calamity-level star evil, the remaining ordinary star evil invading the city posed little threat to the defending cultivators.

Whoosh whoosh! Two sounds of breaking through the air.

Lao Xiuyuan and Wei Miaomeng landed on Liou Yuan’s sides.

At the same time, Liou Yuan noticed that the defending Foundation Establishment cultivator also flew over.

The three had tasks at hand, none intending to interact with him now.
