Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 886: Chapter 689: Battle for Chief

As the Crimson Moon perished, Su Yuan turned around to look at Layton in the distance.

Suddenly, a Divine Fire Mark appeared from the place where Caroline exploded in front of him. The mark burned into a fire seed, which then dispersed into clusters of scarlet flames that scattered and vanished.

"What is this?"

Su Yuan’s expression flickered, thinking Caroline might not be fully dead.

But at that moment, an intense desire surged from the Divine Fire Mark within him, and the surging Undead Evil Fire howled out of Su Yuan’s chest, engulfing and devouring all the scarlet flames before returning to the Star Sea.

"Devoured it?"

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised. The Divine Fire must not have any problems, so he quickly internalized his vision to look into the Star Sea.

He saw the Divine Fire Mark of the Undead Evil Fire emitting waves of light like breathing, seemingly digesting the energy of the scarlet flames just now.

For those who possess Divine Fire, it can be said that they are as rare as hens’ teeth among a vast group of cultivators.

And the opportunity for a battle of life and death between two owners of Divine Fires is even rarer.

Su Yuan only knew that Divine Fire is unique. When a Divine Fire dissipates with its host’s death, only then will there be a chance for the world to regenerate such Divine Fire.

He wasn’t too clear about the current situation.

However, since the Undead Evil Fire swallowed the Crimson Evil Fire left by Caroline, it should be beneficial for the Undead Evil Fire.

What exactly this situation is can only be looked into later; now is not the time.

Su Yuan collected his mind and gazed to the other side.

In this brief moment, Layton in the distant black ball force field suddenly had his pupils dilate and his face turn slightly pale, finally waking up from Instant Unlimited.

"Hoo!..."

Layton took a rapid breath, then abruptly realized something and immediately turned his head to scan around.

In an instant, Layton saw the awe-inspiring Su Yuan, who had initiated the Oath of Returning Ruins, in the distance, as well as the vast expanse of dark red bloodstains before Su Yuan.

In a moment, Layton understood.

"You actually...killed Caroline!"

Su Yuan nodded and said, "Of course, when a person is killed, they die."

Layton’s heart trembled slightly, and his originally steady expression suddenly sank.

Layton had never expected that, in such a short period when he was hit by the opponent’s legendary skill, Caroline, who had triggered Crimson Descent, would be killed?!

When facing a legendary skill, he had the Miracle Crystal, and Caroline was not afraid of an outbreak because [Crimson Return] would allow her to come back again.

Yet Caroline still died so quickly!

Looking at the shocking aura waves emitted by Su Yuan, Layton roughly understood the reason, but his heart was even more unsettled.

"Half-step Burning Sun... able to ascend to a half-step Burning Sun, could it be a legendary grade enhancement skill!"

Half-step Burning Sun doesn’t count as a specific realm; it means surpassing the Full Moon Limit in some way but still short of Burning Sun’s state.

Coupled with Su Yuan’s A+ top-tier Star Power Talent, though not quite as good as a true Early Sun level master, it’s not far off.𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Against Radiant Moon Level, it’s truly a dimension-reducing strike that breaks all techniques with strength.

Layton took a deep breath and said to Su Yuan, "Before setting out, I never expected this situation to occur. Despite all the preparations, I still underestimated you!"

Su Yuan raised the Demon Saber: "Then are you ready to die?"

The duration of the Oath of Returning Ruins was limited, so Su Yuan didn’t waste words and immediately brandished his sword, slicing towards the enormous spherical force field with sword qi flowing continuously.

"Bang bang bang..."

One strand of Void Sword Qi after another kept exploding on the spherical force field.

Though Layton was stunned, he kept his composure: "Trying to directly tear through the Heavenly Repelling Shield? This is a legendary defense skill, even the Burning Sun Level has difficulty breaking through..."

As soon as the words fell, the spherical force field suddenly indented slightly, and waves of Third Gear Sword Qi constantly tore open the force field, pushing towards the inside, inch by inch closer to Layton.

"What? This sword qi, such astonishing strength!"

Layton’s heart froze, and he dared not slack off any longer. He opened his right hand, where spirit light surged in his left hand, rapidly rotating in his palm, quickly forming a gray-black energy ball the size of a football.

Spiral Collapse!

And at this moment, Su Yuan outside was getting closer and closer.

Layton held the Spiral Collapse energy ball with his right hand and sealed with his left: "Heavenly Repelling Shield, Chaos!"

In an instant, the gigantic outer spherical force field suddenly became chaotic.

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered with silver light, quickly locating an energy weak spot within the chaotic force field.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the originally stable force field twisted and exploded, pressing the void with terrifying gravitational and repulsive forces into a violent tremor!

Although Su Yuan’s skin was slightly cracked, he did not suffer major injuries.

However, in the next moment, Layton rushed forward, grasping the Spiral Collapse, and struck towards Su Yuan.

Su Yuan’s mind moved, and Infinite Power immediately blocked in front.

Despite the strong repulsion coming from the Spiral Collapse, it couldn’t break through the Infinite barrier.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan’s figure flickered and he appeared behind Layton, striking down with his sword.

"Shatter!"

Just as the longsword was about to cut into Layton, he let out a low shout and a fierce repulsion force erupted indiscriminately from his body.

Su Yuan’s sword was immediately blocked somewhat.

Seizing the opportunity, Layton turned around and pressed the Spiral Collapse towards Su Yuan’s chest in a reverse grip!

Su Yuan’s expression remained calm, raising his left hand as the Returning Ruins Divine Wind spun rapidly in his palm. He grabbed it without flinching or evading.

A simple force field devoid of a projectile was rather restrictive against Su Yuan; neither the "Ruins Spirit" of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind nor Infinite Power could easily block it.

However, an energy attack derived from repulsion like the Spiral Collapse, which has a distinct trajectory, was naturally not difficult to handle.

In a flash, the Spiral Collapse disintegrated swiftly within the effect of the "Ruins Spirit" of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind in Su Yuan’s hand, not hitting him but dissipating on its own!

Su Yuan’s hand continued forward, breaking through the Spiral Collapse and reaching for Layton.

"Not good!" Layton’s pupils contracted as he tried to dodge.

Yet Su Yuan had already seized his hand, raising his Demon Saber with his right hand for a thrust towards Layton.

Layton reacted quickly, narrowly managing to block the Demon Saber’s approach with his other hand.

The tip of the sword vibrated incessantly under the repulsion force, while beads of sweat trickled down Layton’s forehead.

Su Yuan coldly snorted, and the Demon Saber suddenly exerted more force.

Layton let out a dull groan and was suddenly propelled backward, crashing with a "boom" into a distant mountain wall.

Su Yuan’s strike had not pierced Layton; at that critical moment, Layton used the repulsion force to free himself from the binding.

Su Yuan’s hands were relentless; he swung his sword repeatedly, launching nine Void Sword Qi instantly towards Layton’s impact point!

At this moment, a strong force field fluctuation suddenly erupted from within the mountain range with a "buzz"!

The nine Void Sword Qi flying over suddenly halted mid-air, trembling violently.

"Boom!!" A loud explosion occurred, and the huge mountain collapsed into pieces like crushed tofu, the cleaving Void Sword Qi shattering along with it!

"Finally unleashed, huh?" Su Yuan squinted his eyes, staring intently at the rubble.

Layton stood in mid-air, tiger-backed and bear-waisted, his upper body naked and revealing muscular, rock-like flesh. Eight sturdy arms grew from below his ribs, and the terrifying fluctuation of Star Power was on par with Su Yuan!

Layton said deeply, "One must go all out against a formidable enemy. If I don’t unleash now, there may be no chance later. This is the Third Gear form of my Attraction and Repulsion Power... watch out!"

With that, Layton rubbed his hands together, and within moments, a deep black Spiral Collapse was formed in his hands.

Simultaneously, a visible force field twisted open like a slingshot, and Layton used it as leverage, instantly rushing towards Su Yuan like a cannonball!

Under the All-Knowing Vision, Su Yuan could see that the power of Spiral Collapse in Layton’s hands was at least doubled compared to before!

"Third Gear, doubling and then doubling again?"

Su Yuan’s expression slightly clung as he immediately deployed Infinite Power to defend.

The next moment, Layton had closed in, pressing the Spiral Collapse towards Su Yuan.

The space slightly twisted, yet the exceedingly potent Spiral Collapse still struggled to breach Su Yuan’s Infinite Power.

Just then, Layton grinned, and his other six hands started rubbing rapidly, quickly forming three additional Spiral Collapses within moments.

"Break it open for me!"

Layton shouted lowly, pressing down with all three newly formed Spiral Collapses simultaneously.

The highly compressed repulsion force exploded at such close proximity, an overwhelming power momentarily surpassed Infinite Power, pushing Su Yuan back.

"Those additional arms are indeed not just decorations..." Su Yuan’s chest surged with blood, "And the power can multiply!"

While Su Yuan was pondering, an immensely terrifying gravitational force suddenly grabbed hold of him. Before Su Yuan could stabilize his stance, it swiftly pulled him back.

Layton used four hands to attract and pull Su Yuan, while the remaining four came together to rapidly form a basin-sized large Spiral Collapse aimed at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan slightly squinted his eyes: "Not only has the power significantly increased, but it can also utilize attraction and repulsion simultaneously without clash!"

As he was about to collide with the opponent’s large Spiral Collapse, Su Yuan’s left hand flashed with silver light, and twisting void instantly unfolded around him.

Not only did it isolate some of the repulsion force with Space Power, but it also stabilized Su Yuan slightly with strong pulling force.

Then Su Yuan flipped his hand to produce the Hundred Beasts Tripod, striking it with his hand: "Go!"

Amidst surging purple qi, a purple-skinned monster charged out from within the tripod.

Seemingly aware of the urgent situation, the purple-skinned monster emitted a silent howl, rushing headlong towards Layton under the powerful gravitational pull!

Frowning, Layton sensed the unusual nature of the purple-skinned monster and immediately swung the large Spiral Collapse towards it!

"Big Spiral Burst!"

The large Spiral Collapse struck the purple-skinned monster, making its skin tremble as if it was about to be swept away!

Yet at this moment, the purple-skinned monster grinned, and the surging purple qi transformed into a large moving mass, bypassing the Spiral Collapse and then recondensing to crash into Layton!

"What!"

Strike filled Layton’s body, and with a "boom," he was suddenly knocked flying!
