Chapter 625 612: Last Chance, Fight to the Death

In the starry sky, Wang Xuan's gigantic figure sat atop the fiery star, and the Golden Gongs in his hand gradually shrank.

Wang Xuan observed the Golden Gongs, repeatedly scanning everything within, striving to recall and review.

He was in no hurry to open the Golden Gongs.

This Golden Gongs is the Lifebound Magical Treasure of the Vajra Bodhisattva, crafted by a Half-Step Immortal from the Ninefold Heaven, incredibly powerful.

Even with his abilities, he couldn't destroy it, let alone those dozen or so Half-Step Immortal Holy Spirits that had already perished.

As time ticked by, days seemed to pass in a blink within the Golden Gongs.

After an unknown length of time, a shadowy figure appeared within the Golden Gongs.

When he regained consciousness and found himself still trapped inside, an enraged roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

This enemy was still lying in wait after such a long time, clearly intending to annihilate them completely.

Wang Xuan extended his palm and scooped up that shadowy figure.

"So it's you," Wang Xuan's massive eyes stared at the Demon Suppression King.

This Half-Step Immortal Holy Spirit from the Canglan Realm had numerous tricks up his sleeve, able to resurrect even after being slain.

After suppressing its will, Wang Xuan eroded it and unearthed the Resurrection Technique it possessed.

"The Heaven and Earth Life Technique, somewhat akin to how an Immortal relies on the Life Source Star to imprint and resurrect.

One can imprint their life upon a portion of the heavens and earth, whether in space or in matter and energy, to disassemble and wait for a resurrection opportunity."

Having obtained such a secret technique, Wang Xuan's gains were substantial. If integrated into the Path of Time and the Path of Creation, his offensive and survival abilities would improve significantly.

After thoroughly mastering this secret technique, Wang Xuan surveyed the starry battlefield based on it.

Sure enough, he discovered another imprint of a Half-Step Immortal Holy Spirit. This one was hidden deeper than the Demon Suppression King, yet unfortunately, it met the same demise.

Reaching into the void, Wang Xuan extracted this imprint, wholly eradicating this enemy as well.

Wang Xuan was in no hurry, continuing to wait patiently.

Time was on his side; those Half-Step Immortal Holy Spirits awaiting resurrection would not last forever.

As he waited, the Star Gaze Emperor grew increasingly anxious.

After a prolonged battle with Wang Xuan, despite employing numerous tactics, he could neither defeat Wang Xuan nor escape this Child of the Era.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged within his consciousness.

"The Canglan is beyond saving. We have perished; you must take care in the future." These were the final words of a Half-Step Immortal wielding a Jade Talisman.

The Star Gaze Emperor cried out in agony: "No!"

He hadn't given up yet; how could she have died?

Why couldn't she hold on a little longer?

But when he looked at Wang Xuan, the Star Gaze Emperor remembered that the other controlled the Path of Time, causing his heart to sink abruptly.

Perhaps during his journey to the celestial battlefield, his friends had been holding out for a long, long time, waiting for him to arrive.

He hadn't been late, nor had she given up.

But Wang Xuan had played a trick with his Path of Time, making time play a joke on them both.

At this moment, the Star Gaze Emperor understood that his persistence no longer had meaning; even if Wang Xuan no longer obstructed him, it was already too late.

At this moment, what should he do?

Should he fight desperately, in the slim chance of killing Wang Xuan, the Child of the Era?

Should he return to the Canglan Realm, summon a True God Illusion to destroy the Gate of the World, and continue to protect the Canglan Realm?

Or should he leave here, retreat into the starry sky to find a new Life Source Star, and live in seclusion for the rest of his days?

Standing frozen in place for a long time, with countless thoughts flickering through his mind, the Star Gaze Emperor finally shook his head.

For the other Immortals, leaving or staying was a choice.

But as a Holy Spirit, his very existence was rooted in the Power of Faith. Leaving the Canglan or its destruction meant he wouldn't live long.

He could only remain in the Canglan, to fight for the Canglan Realm, for the Divine Teachings, and for all beings, until death took him.

But can they truly win?

"Against the Earth Civilization, we've been defeated time and again, and even with a realm advantage, Wang Xuan manipulates us with ease. Is there hope for victory in the future?"

The Star Gaze Emperor was lost.

It seemed he had no way forward.

The only hope was to return to the Canglan Realm, activate a True God Illusion, and see how the Canglan True God handles the situation.

The current circumstances were much more difficult than in ancient times when the Canglan True God descended upon the Canglan.

It remained uncertain whether the Canglan True God, who once turned the tide, could lead the battered, old ship of the Canglan Realm through this crisis and breathe new life into it.

The Star Gaze Emperor glanced at Wang Xuan, then turned to leave, heading back to the Canglan Realm.

However, Wang Xuan wasn't planning to let him go. The Tower of Space-Time above enveloped the entire starry sky, and in an instant, they traversed tens of thousands of light-years, delving deeper into the cosmos.

The Star Gaze Emperor's eyes narrowed, quickly understanding Wang Xuan's intention.

Previously, Wang Xuan had divided and conquered them one by one, and now, as long as he trapped the Star Gaze Emperor in space, the Canglan Realm would be left vulnerable.

Once again, it was a lure strategy!

The Star Gaze Emperor felt a pang of regret; they truly shouldn't have taken the initiative. Since leaving the Canglan Realm, nothing good had happened.

He yelled, "Even if you trap me here, what can you do to the Canglan Realm? With the Canglan Grand Array's protection, not even an Immortal can easily enter!"

Fortunately, the Canglan Grand Array was activated beforehand, otherwise, the Canglan Realm would indeed be in danger. Facing an adversary like the Child of the Era, the Saint Master and his men were by no means a match.

After all, even over a dozen Half-Step Immortals had died, so what difference could the Saint Master and the others make, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?

Another clone detached from Wang Xuan, its aura nearly indistinguishable from his true form.

Immortal Source, Rule Rune, Primordial Spirit...

In all these powers, the true form and the clone were virtually identical, even the Star Gaze Emperor, an Immortal himself, couldn't tell them apart.

At this moment, the Star Gaze Emperor finally understood how Wang Xuan could deploy such combat power at both locations, employing a strategic distraction technique.

With the Forbidden Secret Technique of dividing into three, while maintaining formidable combat power, he could triple his combat strength.

Wang Xuan's clone ventured to the Canglan Realm, and the Star Gaze Emperor couldn't stop it.

Wrapped in the Tower of Space-Time, they continued toward the far reaches of space, growing ever distant from the Canglan Realm.

This filled the Star Gaze Emperor with a profound sense of helplessness.

Suddenly, he reaffirmed his resolve: the situation had come to this, a fight to the death was all that remained, so what more was there to contemplate?

Laughing heartily, he charged at Wang Xuan once more.

In this battle, he found that after Wang Xuan split into two clones, his combat power had slightly diminished.

Perhaps, there was hope to defeat Wang Xuan.

If he could kill Wang Xuan's true form, the crisis in the Canglan Realm would naturally be resolved.

Realizing this, the Star Gaze Emperor was overjoyed; it was truly an opportunity provided by his enemy!

He always knew that the Forbidden Secret Technique of dividing into three, while maintaining immense combat power, couldn't be without cost or weakness.

Though this Forbidden Secret Technique allowed for three bodies of nearly equal strength, connected in spirit to deploy a Battle Array.

Yet Wang Xuan's combat power and total life force would inevitably diminish accordingly, with each body weaker than the whole form.

The opportunity had come, and he had to seize it!

The Star Gaze Emperor unleashed all his power, as stars exploded across the celestial dome, endless light bearing witness to their life-and-death struggle.
