Supreme Stars, Peak Showdown

Li Fan and Wangshu discussed whether to gang up or fight the Solar Star God Zhuzhao one-on-one.

Li Fan laughed. "Ganging up means the three of us fight him alone; one-on-one means Zhuzhao challenges all three of us."

Goddess Wangshu shot Li Fan a glare. "Have some shame. Let Ziguang fight first; the two of us will back her up."

"You overestimate me. Backing up Empress Ziguang? I'm only at Grand Unity Triple Heaven cultivation. Even a cross-realm challenge isn't this reckless. I'll cheer you on."

"I think my plan is fine. Why duel when you can gang up?"

Empress Ziguang blazed with heroic spirit. "If we fight, we fight. Who's afraid of who?"

Li Fan raised his arm in a rallying cry. "With righteous cause on our side—Solar Star God Zhuzhao monopolizes sunlight in the starry sky. For the starry sky's sake, Goddess Ziguang is mighty! Let's move out immediately."

The three of them directly and forcefully invaded the Solar Star Domain.

Ziguang's gaze was icy. "Zhuzhao, how dare you obstruct the evolution of the Primordial Starry Sky? Come out, I'll teach you a lesson today."

After her furious words, her divine power surged, and Star Law struck directly at the Solar Temple.

The golden temple was flipped over, and Solar Star God Zhuzhao appeared directly before Li Fan and the other two.

Ziguang and Zhuzhao faced off in the Primordial Starry Sky, their auras shaking the heavens.

In the starry sky, the Ziwei Star and the Solar Star suddenly blazed bright, and the temperature of the Primordial World rose sharply.

Throughout the Primordial World, many Great Luo focused their gazes on the starry sky.

Above the River of Time—

Heavenly Emperor Cangli frowned. "What's going on? Ziguang and Zhuzhao are fighting."

Old Lord Huang, Hongjun, spoke slowly. "This Old Daoist deduced that the Solar Star's sunlight has sealed off the Taiyin Star Domain and the Ziwei Star Domain, obstructing the starry sky's evolution."

Human Emperor Jiutou Clan smiled. "Hongjun, your deductions are faster than before."

Hongjun humbly replied, "Not at all, not at all. These are mere trivial arts."

Ziguang and Zhuzhao, both Great Divine Powers, each displayed their supreme might, drawing the starry sky's power into constant collision, brilliant streams of light exploding into layers of ripples.

Li Fan looked at the distant, surging energy aftershocks and said, "Ziguang can hold her own even with Zhuzhao's home-field advantage. Impressive."

Before the words fell, the battle escalated.

Zhuzhao's Solar Great Dao, wrapped in sky-burning heat, clashed violently with Ziguang's Star Great Dao in the void.

In an instant, millions of miles of starry sky shattered, and earth, water, fire, and wind ran rampant.

Goddess Ziguang raised her hand and offered up the "Zhou Tian Star Chart." The scroll unfurled across the starry sky, revealing billions of dazzling stars, as if real constellations hung in the Solar Star Domain.

The Solar Star Domain flowed with the star chart, turning this place into Ziguang's home ground as well.

At that moment, the scales of victory quietly reversed, slowly tipping toward Ziguang.

Just as Li Fan thought the battle was about to end, something unexpected happened.

A repulsive force manifested on Zhuzhao's body. Many Great Luo could see Zhuzhao's aura surging.

Li Fan shouted a loud warning. "Watch out!"

Zhuzhao's face twisted with ferocity. "Ziguang, I'll show you my power.

"Solar Force, converge! Burn everything!"

Even standing far away, Li Fan could feel the sun's fury and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat for Goddess Ziguang.

But since Goddess Wangshu hadn't made a move, the problem probably wasn't too serious.

Wangshu's face was full of anger. "This aura... it's so similar to the Three Emperors. God Merged with Dao, Dao tainted by a Demon God's fruit—courting disaster by cooperating with a tiger. Zhuzhao, you have some nerve."

Empress Ziguang used the Zhou Tian Star Chart to block the attack and retreated to Wangshu's side.

Li Fan saw a trace of blood at the corner of Empress Ziguang's mouth. She was badly injured.

Ziguang's face was pale. "Wangshu, be careful. Zhuzhao has broken through to Grand Unity Tenth Heaven. I can barely avoid defeat. The longer this drags on, the less I can match him. It's up to you now. Teach him a lesson."

Earth Emperor Yuejian said in a deep voice. "Zhuzhao's cultivation has broken through. Ziguang has lost."

Old Ancestor Yin Yang roared in anger. "Zhuzhao dares to merge God with Dao? If something goes wrong with the Solar Star, how will he take responsibility?"

Qiankun Ancestor shouted angrily. "Zhuzhao, have you already stopped putting us Five Elder Lords in your eyes? Hongjun, what do you say? While he's still at Grand Unity Tenth Heaven, let's all go together and seal him."

Hongjun looked at the Solar Star battlefield. "Everyone, don't be anxious. The Taiyin Star Lord has made his move."

Wangshu arrived before Zhuzhao, her expression displeased.

"Zhuzhao, you can still turn back now. Don't be stubborn and deluded, or you'll harm both yourself and others."

Zhuzhao's face was utterly manic. "Hahaha, I feel great right now. This unparalleled power... Wangshu, you want to oppose me too? Then come."

Zhuzhao frantically drew the Solar Star's power, its radiance erupting without cease.

"Great Sun Glazed World"

Infinite light! Endless heat! A glazed purifying fire that cleansed the ages pierced through heaven and earth, turning all starlight in its path into golden haze.

The myriad beings of the Primordial World endured the sun's scorching heat; the earth withered and dried.

"Solar God, please spare us."

Some knowledgeable Da Luo Venerable Gods roared angrily, "Zhuzhao, you scoundrel, you go too far!"

Goddess Wangshu wielded streaks of clear, cold moonlight, and wherever they passed, ten thousand laws dissipated.

Taiyin and Solar, mutually engendering yet repelling each other, two great Dao concepts clashed in ceaseless opposition.

"Bright Moon Dharma Form!"

"Break—!"

Zhuzhao's divine power was suppressed by Goddess Wangshu.

The Taiyin divine mark on Wangshu's brow blazed brightly as she stepped forward, one pace after another, toward Zhuzhao.

On the Primordial World, sun and moon shone together! This triggered a cataclysm in heaven and earth.

They did not know what was happening; attacks rained down upon the land without cease, disasters struck frequently, and all living things trembled in fear.

Zhuzhao burned his divine body desperately, charging at the Taiyin Star Lord.

Wangshu's face showed not a trace of concern.

"Divine Power: Taihua Moon Blade!"

The moment two primordial forces collided, space fractured. First came absolute silence all around, then the erupting shockwave shattered the void for ten thousand li in every direction.

The battle ended. Zhuzhao was no match for Goddess Wangshu.

Wangshu said, "Zhuzhao, let this be a lesson to you today. Do not let power blind your eyes."

Zhuzhao's face was full of defiance. "Taiyin Star Lord, the Solar Star Domain will continue to open to the Taiyin Star Domain and the Ziwei Star Domain from now on."

In the blink of an eye, Zhuzhao entered the Solar Star.

His expression turned icy. "Wangshu, you're only at Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven. Just you wait. God Merged with Dao—power, I need more power. I'll make you all regret this."

Empress Ziguang had taken the large amount of Three Lights Divine Water Li Fan gave her, and her injuries had stabilized.

Li Fan said cheerfully, "The goddess is so domineering, beating Zhuzhao until he howled. Why didn't you seal him away?"

Wangshu's expression grew grave. She said three times, "Difficult, difficult, difficult. On the Solar Star, even if Heavenly Emperor Cangli himself came, it wouldn't work."

"No one knows how many hidden cards Zhuzhao has laid in the Solar Star. If he decides to burn everything down, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Primordial World."

Li Fan fell into thoughtful silence.

Within the River of Time, the Five Elder Lords were holding a meeting—

Hongjun said solemnly, "After today's battle, Zhuzhao has fallen into demonic madness. Once he brings chaos to the Primordial World, we must have a plan to stop him. The Solar Star cannot be lost."

Old Ancestor Diandao said lightly, "Isn't the Taiyin Star Lord here? The problem isn't that big."

Hongjun's tone grew urgent. "The trouble is enormous. God Merged with Dao—don't be fooled by the Taiyin Star Lord being at Eleventh Heaven now. Zhuzhao has tainted his Dao with the ways of the Chaos Demon Gods; he'll catch up quickly. Perhaps even the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity isn't far off."

"Wasn't the lesson of the Three Emperors enough? Ever since they merged with the Dao, our cultivation has been unable to keep pace with theirs."

Hongjun's face was troubled. "We have a worst-case plan for the Three Emperors—at worst, we sink the Nine Heavens. But the Solar Star? Zhuzhao, you really know how to give me a headache."

The Western Monk proposed, "Strike first and gain the upper hand; strike later and suffer disaster. We could borrow the power of the Three Emperors, or contact Taiyin and Ziwei. Today's battle is not the end, but the beginning."

When the time came, all forces in heaven and earth would align. Li Fan, too, was thinking of how to deal with the Solar Star God Zhuzhao.

This God-Demon Era was nearing its end; the great tribulation was about to descend. Li Fan's cultivation could not possibly break through to Great Divine Power in one go. His only option was to rely on external forces.

Having witnessed the might of a Great Divine Power today, Li Fan knew that with his current strength, he could only protect himself. Da Luo was one step, one heaven.

After the great battle ended, Li Fan left the Solar Star Domain together with the two goddesses.
