Heavenly Demon Star God, Qiang Wei's delicate hand tightly gripped his halberd and swung downward, blocking another one of Luo Guxie's sword strikes. His slender body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into Heavenly Strength Star God's chest and landing hard on his hands.
Qiang Wei was the definition of a trap. He looked like a peerless woman, a goddess from heaven. His face was perfect, far surpassing many flawless beauties. He had a tall, slender build, with black hair flowing down to his waist, as quiet as a maiden. Clad in a long pink skirt that added a touch of cuteness, he could easily fool anyone who didn't know his true gender, they might just fall in love with him.
The scene of the muscular Heavenly Strength Star God holding him in his arms was as romantic as it was... Geh.
"Qiang Wei, are you okay?" Heavenly Strength Star God had a perfectly normal sexual orientation. He quickly put the trap down, took a step forward, and asked. His body was also covered in injuries and bruises. At first, he had acted as the main tank to block Luo Guxie's attacks, but after a while, he couldn't hold on, and Heavenly Demon Star God had to switch with him.
As for Moonflower, she was the weakest among them, an 8th level Divine Master. She could barely protect herself and occasionally drew some of Luo Guxie's attacks.
She had a tall figure, taller than the average male. She wore a jade-green silk gown that was faintly translucent, outlining her seductive body. The sleeves draping over her arms and thighs were completely transparent. Her silky arms were smooth and crystal clear, while her shoulders glistened with a soft shine.
Half wrapped in chiffon, the bosoms before her chest were enormous. A large half of them was exposed, boldly forming a deep cleavage, the white luster causing others to covet and drool unconsciously.
Beneath the jade-green gown, her two long, beautiful legs were completely exposed, their creamy whiteness enough to make one lose control.
Hiding behind the two men, she bit her lips as her eyes darted around. She was already thinking of escaping, waiting for a chance to flee.
"Cough... I'm okay," Qiang Wei said, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He shook his head, his eyes fixed on Luo Guxie, who was silently staring at them. Wiping the blood from his lips, he spoke, "Fairy Guxie, our Star God Realm holds no grudge against you. Her Highness's matter is an internal affair of our realm. Why are you interfering?"
"Hmph! I'm not here to help that stupid tsundere," Luo Guxie scoffed disdainfully. She was still brooding over how Jasmine had tricked Yun Wuji back then just to steal more of his attention during the Divine Fruit of Absolute Beginning incident. However, her expression softened, and a smile appeared on her face. "My man wants to take down your realm."
"My man's will is higher than heaven's will. If he decides to crush your realm, not even the stars above can stop him!"
Boom!
Purple-green profound energy erupted around Luo Guxie like an apocalyptic space storm. As she pushed her palm forward, the pressure slammed into the three Star Gods, their faces turning even paler under the crushing force.
They felt like leaves caught in a storm, twisting and flailing just to survive.
In truth, Luo Guxie had held back the entire time. If it weren't for Yun Wuji's order to spare them, at least one or two of the Star Gods would have fallen by now.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the other side of the battlefield, Hua Jin was playing solo ping pong. Her figure moved like a shadow, leaving trails of rainbows everywhere as she smacked the old man Tumi around like a ball.
She blasted him upward, then struck to the left, and brought him down hard with an axe kick.
Each of her attacks carried an indescribable, devastating power. Tumi couldn't stop or resist any of them; all he could do was use his profound energy to defend himself.
Blood caked every inch of him. His face was a ruined landscape, jaw dislocated, nose smashed inward, chest caved in like rotten timber. He looked less like a man and more like a corpse that hadn't realized it should stop breathing.
...
Swoosh!
Boom!
Xing Juekong side-stepped, narrowly evading Jasmine's blade by a hair's breadth. He then thrust his sword viciously at her chest, but just like before, the blade passed through her as she faded like a mirage. Once again, he struck only her afterimage.
The sword attack that failed to find its mark kept slicing through the air until it crashed hard against the invisible barrier.
Before Xing Juekong could pull back his sword, Jasmine appeared again, this time hovering right above him. Her blade hovered less than an inch from his scalp. But Xing Juekong, now familiar with her rhythm, barely moved his head to the side and threw a punch with his free hand. Jasmine, with her unmatched speed, slipped away without effort.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The fight dragged on, and with every passing moment, Xing Juekong's expression grew darker. Although he could predict her moves, Jasmine's speed was beyond anything he had faced. She moved so fast he could barely brush the edge of her clothes, let alone land a solid hit. His only focus now was breaking the barrier. That's what he had been trying since the start, but this thing was stubborn! Its recovery was unbelievably fast, almost impossible to wear down.
Just then, Xing Juekong's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Out of nowhere, a chilling sensation spread through his entire body.
A ray of icy blue light suddenly erupted from the space dead ahead of him!
Not only had the cold light appeared out of nowhere, but it was less than three meters away from Xing Juekong!
It was a flawless white sword covered in blue light, and it was aimed straight at Xing Juekong's heart… at the speed it was traveling, three meters might as well be nothing at all.
Xing Juekong's pupils shrank abruptly, but he had just fended off Jasmine's attack, making it impossible for him to react to the sudden strike at all. The cold light passed through his heart in the blink of an eye.
Eyes bulging and pupils shrinking, Xing Juekong stared as a woman clad in icy blue appeared in front of him, still gripping the sword that had impaled him.
Shock, fear, and disbelief gripped him all at once...
It is true that he has been very distracted, but he was still the Star God Emperor. It should have been impossible for the entity to avoid his detection and get as close as just three meters away from him!
This was a completely undetectable, merciless attack that came out of nowhere. The only one who could pull that off was Jasmine!
How come there is another one who is just as deadly as her?!
"Agh!" A groan escaped him as a layer of ice spread from the Snow Princess Sword, trying to seal away his body, organs, blood, profound aura, and even his profound veins.
Mu Xuanyin said nothing in return as she stared at Xing Juekong coldly. The chill in her eyes felt like she was staring at a lifeless corpse.
She had been hiding nearby using Moon Splitting Cascade for a long time, waiting for a golden opportunity to present itself. She could have made her move earlier and teamed up with Jasmine, but she chose not to because she saw how much Jasmine was enjoying herself venting all the hatred and anger she had accumulated over the past years.
It would be insensitive of her to interfere with her fun.
"Snow… Song… Realm… King!" Cold energy began to spread across Xing Juekong's body like a freezing poison. In front of him, Mu Xuanyin and Jasmine stood side by side, eying him coldly.
'I'm going to die like this? I, Xing Juekong…be the first God Emperor in Star God Realm to be killed? No, that can't happen. There has to be a way out. Without me, the Star God Realm won't survive! The Moon God Realm and Brahma Monarch God Realm won't pass up this chance!'
'I have to use it now!'
'The power of friendship!'
'Cough... I mean...'
'The Big Dipper's Brilliant Annihilating!'
The Big Dipper's Brilliant Annihilating wasn't a profound skill. It was an artifact only Star God Emperors were qualified to have, and no one outside that line knew it existed. Each generation of Star God Emperor would inject their power into it, so in desperate situations, they could use it to unleash one devastatingly powerful attack.
All King Realms and God Emperors had their trump cards. Otherwise, powerful figures like the Star God Emperor or Moon God Emperor would have long been killed or had their realms taken over by the Brahma Monarch God Realm, which was many times stronger.
"Although using it means all the energy stored by the previous God Emperors will be lost, I'd win!"
Suddenly, Xing Juekong's eyes snapped open. Bright starlight burst from his body like a radiant pillar soaring into the sky!
"Careful!" Mu Xuanyin's eyes twitched as she sensed something right away. Grabbing Jasmine, she retreated immediately.
Almost at the same moment, a powerful aura slammed down around them, making both women's faces change. Fortunately, the aura didn't lock onto them, it targeted the barrier instead.
Boom!
From the sky, starlight gathered into a gigantic beam and crashed straight into the invisible barrier!
Crack!Crack!Crack!
Like broken glass, the barrier shattered, and the impact sent Mu Xuanyin and Jasmine flying.
Xing Juekong didn't bother looking at the two women. He turned into a blur, flying through the broken barrier. He chose to attack the barrier instead of them because he knew this attack alone couldn't kill either of them. At most, it would seriously injure one, and that meant nothing to him. Besides, he already guessed that if one got hurt, the other two would rush to her side. At that point, any hope of escape would be gone.
'I succeeded!' Xing Juekong still felt a sting in his heart for using his most powerful trump card, but he was also relieved; he finally escaped. Soon, he would reach the Eternal Heaven Realm, and there he would get away from this calamity!
Unfortunately for Xing Juekong, he didn't know that when people say, 'I'd win,' no one else ever does.
Well, except Yun Wuji.
The Star God Emperor's eyebrows slanted slightly. Despite using his ultimate trump card and escaping the barrier blocking him, for some odd reason, he felt his heart and soul tense up involuntarily. This was undoubtedly his heart and soul warning him of danger… that primal instinct screaming when someone was in mortal danger.
"What is the source of this feeling?"
Rumble!
Just then, a huge grey tail suddenly appeared before him out of nowhere. The gigantic tail slammed into his body with a force that could split the world. It struck Xing Juekong like a divine hammer!
