"Such a peerless talent—how could an Earth Immortal ever be enough to contain him?"
Wang Buyi gaped, murmuring to himself.
Huang Mei was so stunned he fell silent.
The golden Qi behind Xu Yi had only just vanished when, with a flash, the twenty-eight pure-purple constellations inside the corpse's starry sky almost simultaneously turned pure gold. Almost at the same time, the twenty-eight pure-colored stars inside the Crimson Flame Thunder Monkey's corpse completed their transformation through blue, black, white, purple, and gold in an instant, and they, too, turned pure gold.
Xu Yi attuned himself to the will of Heaven. Mana Yuan surged wildly within him, his blood and Qi roiling again and again as the manifested and Hidden Vessels throughout his body rumbled in unison.
Suddenly, a profound insight rose in Xu Yi's heart. With a thought, the stars inside both corpses began to rotate together. Xu Yi manifested the Spirit Official Three Lives Aspect, and a vast expanse of starlight spilled down from the starry sky. The fifty-six stars within him turned at the same time. Then, astonishing spiritual power shot down from the sky, instantly piercing the shield Wang Buyi had woven and streaking straight toward Xu Yi.
A sudden understanding welled up in Xu Yi. He reached out and seized that wisp of spiritual power, feeling an icy chill penetrate his body as a pure, immortal aura spread freely around him.
"Star Spirit Essence? H-How is this possible..."
Wang Buyi went frantic. He clutched his head so hard he tore apart his usually immaculate hairstyle without even realizing it.
Before long, the wisp of spiritual power turned in Xu Yi's palm into a speck of essence as small as ash. More and more spiritual power poured in, each wisp transforming into a tiny speck of essence.
