Chapter 2027 - 89: Qiu Huang

Charging towards him was a man dressed in a brown vestment robe, his hair white yet his face youthful, his features handsome, surrounded by an aura of law power. In any other place, he would surely be a Dominator Level expert that one couldn’t help but worship upon sight, yet at this moment, he seemed rather disheveled.

The white-haired man looked tense, his entire body marked by numerous purple wounds filled with signs of erosion. These were the injuries he sustained while breaking through the Chaotic Void. Clearly, even with the Soul-locking Array loosened, the Demon Princess weakened, and everyone combined their strength, a significant price was still paid.

"Qiu Huang!"

Zhang Xiaoman immediately recognized him. Even though he had never met him, during his days at the edge of the Chaotic Void, he had learned about those Lost Souls from the Demon Princess, so he knew most of them.

The man’s name before him was known to Zhang Xiaoman, as if it thundered through his ears. Even if the Demon Princess hadn’t informed him of his identity, he had heard of this person’s name, for he was the founder of the entire Star Pattern System, the legendary Heaven Stealer—Qiu Huang.

"Whoever blocks me shall die!!"

Qiu Huang’s face was ferocious, like a Fierce Beast that had lost its sanity. Trapped for millions of years in the Chaotic Void, having suffered unspeakably, he finally had a chance to escape. No matter who, if they dared to stand in his way, he would tear them apart without hesitation.

Facing such an old Dominator Level expert, Zhang Xiaoman did not underestimate him in the slightest, promptly using all his strength, employing every Supreme Sequence he controlled, only to manage to delay him for a while.

Zhang Xiaoman knew he might not have the strength to defeat him, but if he could manage to delay the guy, he believed the Demon Princess would soon be able to spare a hand to capture him.

In fights at this level, some minor tactics of the past would no longer cut it. Zhang Xiaoman didn’t dare to rashly use his Invincible Law to withstand the opponent’s attack, so he was unsure if his Invincible Law could take effect when both sides controlled Law Power and there existed a power gap.

"When it comes to laws, I’m not necessarily afraid of you!"

With a thought, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes burst with star light, an illuminated pattern appeared on his right hand, the sixth star pattern activated once again!

The surrounding time and space seemed to halt, and the rapid actions of Qiu Huang charging ahead were clear before him. At this moment, all of Zhang Xiaoman’s attributes were imbued in a peak state.

A surge of chaotic power emerged from his hands, this was his self-created Primordial Power, capable of mimicking the form of all things in the world, and such mimicry was not low-level imitation but true transformation in essence.

If observed closely, one would find that the Primordial Power in Zhang Xiaoman’s hands was more intense and defined than before. This was a unique ability he had after activating the sixth star pattern, which fortified the original Primordial Power into a more efficient mode.

"Primordial Power—Forbidden."

Zhang Xiaoman silently recited, then magnified the operation of his powers to the maximum, unleashing a force that even he found shocking.

In fact, not only him, but even the Demon Princess paused slightly in the distance upon seeing this power, casting her gaze over here.

"Forbidden Power, has he already been able to harness spiritual power to this level... no, that’s not directly used, that’s... I see."

The Demon Princess quickly grasped the key to the situation, familiar with Zhang Xiaoman’s peculiar Primordial Power, yet not expecting him to achieve such a level.

On the other hand, the forbidden attribute materialized by Zhang Xiaoman’s Primordial Power formed a vast sky-covering net, aimed directly at Qiu Huang.

Qiu Huang was charging too fast, wanting to retreat now was too late, and he plunged headfirst into the net.

Initially, when the giant net formed from Forbidden Power came over, he did not take it seriously—this was another reason he lost the chance to escape—but soon after realizing the attributes of this net, his expression changed drastically.

"This is Forbidden Power, aren’t you an imposter... how could it be..."

Qiu Huang’s face twisted wildly, completely unexpected that things would turn this way.

In reality, when they initially encountered Zhang Xiaoman, indeed, for a moment they were stunned by the aura and appearance of their opponent and chose to retreat at once.

But these people, being Dominator Level leaders no less, wouldn’t be so easily fooled. They re-evaluated after retreating, realizing they might have been deceived; otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to launch a second assault.

Yet now, Qiu Huang never anticipated that the opponent would be able to utilize such a level of power. At their level, they feared no heaven nor earth, almost nothing could truly kill them, except for Forbidden Power.

"Could it be he really is... no, even the Demon Lord didn’t master Forbidden Power back then... could this be a conspiracy... after millions of years of insights, has that guy truly mastered the Forbidden Power, intending to use this opportunity to completely kill us...?"

Thinking back on recent happenings, Qiu Huang grew increasingly convinced of this possibility, it might even be that the so-called unstable seals were part of their opponent’s plan, all of this was deliberate, meant to lure them into depleting their strength in breaking out, and then use Forbidden Power to capture them all at once.
