Chapter 480
"Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations."
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang looked at the faint scratches on the back of his hand, his expression becoming much more solemn. "I am now certain that even if you are not the 'Child of the Stars,' you are definitely the 'protagonist' of this era..."
"Of course, you must die today!"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang snorted coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he touched the ground with his toes and instantly shot into the void.
In that instant, he seemed to merge into the world.
"Um?"
This scene made Xiao Minghuang frown, vaguely sensing something was amiss.
Although she didn't understand the meaning of terms like "Child of the Stars" and "Protagonist" used by Immortal Venerable Wu Chang, she knew that Immortal Venerable Wu Chang had made up his mind to kill her!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted, and a giant golden hand blotted out the sky, like a silver river pouring down, pressing down on Xiao Minghuang, intending to obliterate her completely.
"Want to kill me? Dream on!"
Xiao Minghuang snorted coldly, her whole body radiating countless starlight, just like a god walking in the world.
With her left hand she drew the bow, her right hand she nocked the sword, and she shot another arrow.
Starlight flowed, and runes danced in the air, outlining a vast star map that contained endless mysteries, seemingly representing the laws governing the heavens, boundless and profound.
The arrow collided directly with the golden palm print.
Whoosh whoosh~
Starlight fell from the sky, densely packed, filling every inch of the void.
Instantly, endless waves surged in the void, as if the end of the world had arrived.
As the two collided, a series of incredibly sharp gusts of wind swept outwards, raging in all directions like a mad blade, obliterating everything in its path.
Click!
The next moment, a huge crack appeared in the void, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
"Um?"
"You actually managed to withstand one of my palm strikes!"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang gave a soft snort.
He had initially thought Xiao Minghuang was doomed, but the outcome surprised him greatly.
As the starlight disappeared, Xiao Minghuang's figure appeared. She stood suspended in mid-air, her body shimmering with starlight, and she actually blocked the crushing force of the silver hand!
"What a strange thing..."
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's expression darkened. His first attack was just a casual strike, using only 10% of his strength. But his second palm strike just now used a full 70% of his power.
Even when he fought against Void Bright Immortal Venerable just now, he was no more than this.
But this Ziwei, a mere Immortal King, was actually able to withstand seventy percent of his power!
Only then did Immortal Venerable Wu Chang discover that above Ziwei's head was a beautiful star map with dim colors, emitting endless starlight and enveloping her.
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's eyes narrowed quickly.
"Huh? No wonder it could withstand my attacks twice in a row, so it has an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure..."
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and his face showed a look of great interest.
Although he was a Primordial Immortal Venerable who had lived for countless years, the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure were by no means ordinary. Even among the seventeen Immortal Venerables of the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas, only seven people possessed the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure.
Unfortunately, he was not one of them.
"This is a pleasant surprise..."
If he could obtain this treasure, he could safely weather this Cosmic Tribulation Annihilation and would no longer need to run around in fear and anxiety.
A mysterious smile appeared on Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's face as he looked at Xiao Minghuang and said calmly, "Young man, I see that your cultivation has not been easy. It would be a real pity if you were to perish here. The previous conflict may have been a misunderstanding. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to create it. Why don't we stop fighting and make peace? We can sit down and talk about any problems..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, although your treasure is powerful, your cultivation is too shallow. You can barely unleash a single attack, let alone defeat me! If I were to make a move, I could take you down in no more than three moves!"
His tone was sincere, as if he were offering kind advice.
"Shameless!"
Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming cursed inwardly, "That old bastard Wu Chang, how come I never saw through him before? He's so disrespectful to his elders! It's one thing to bully a junior, but he even tried to steal his magic weapon!"
"With such beautiful jade before them, who could remain unmoved?"
Void Bright Immortal Venerable shook his head and said, "At least, if we can take this opportunity to keep Ziwei here, we can discuss this further."
Everyone would think that, even if Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's gesture of goodwill was feigned, how could he possibly refuse?
However, Xiao Minghuang's words surprised everyone.
"Heh, you think I'd believe such a low-level lie?"
Xiao Minghuang smiled coldly and exposed him without hesitation, "You're just after my magic weapon. If you want it, you'll have to wait Non-Self dead. Stop with the nonsense!"
Xiao Minghuang's eyes grew increasingly cold, her wrist trembled slightly, and she held a bow in one hand and a sword in the other.
A vast and unparalleled starlight, accompanied by dazzling starlight, suddenly spread out, almost dyeing the sky into a brilliant galaxy!
"You--"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's face immediately turned ashen. His thoughts had been exposed, and he was furious. "Stubborn fool! You don't know what's good for you!"
"You think you can really defeat me with just a celestial Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure?!"
"Below the celestial lord, all are but ants!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Boom!
The void around Immortal Venerable Wu Chang suddenly shattered.
In an instant, his figure expanded countless times, transforming into a colossal golden god that reached the heavens and the earth, surrounded by chaotic energy as deep and boundless as the sea.
"Die!"
His words of truth shook the very heavens.
In an instant, an incredibly thick fist-shaped beam of light pierced through the rainbow, crashing down like a pillar of heaven with destructive power!
The terrifying power of this punch was so great that even the Great Dao itself couldn't withstand it, causing it to continuously explode, collapse, reconstruct, collapse again, in an endless cycle...
"This is the power of a Celestial Venerable. No matter how heaven-defying a magic weapon is, how can it stop it?"
"The majesty of the Immortal Venerable cannot be profaned..."
"Where did this stranger come from, daring to cause trouble in our New Mountains and Seas? Wu Chang, quickly grind her to dust!"
"Sister, let's make a move quickly! She probably can't withstand this attack!"
Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming looked worried and couldn't help but speak.
This attack was incredibly terrifying. Immortal Venerable Wu Chang had clearly used all her power without holding back at all. Even she had to avoid its sharp edge.
But Xiao Minghuang remained calm, as if she had not noticed the danger at all. She held a bow in one hand and a sword in the other.
Whoosh~
In an instant, behind her, the dazzling star suddenly burst forth with billions of starlight, and the endless starlight converged and condensed into an incomparably brilliant sword aura.
The sword light flashed, slicing through the sky, and met the terrifying punch from Immortal Venerable Wu Chang!
The power of this sword strike was earth-shattering; the sword energy swept across the sky, as if it were about to cleave down the heavens.
"The light of a firefly dares not compete with the brilliance of the moon!"
"Even the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure must belong to me!"
A glint of greed flashed deep in Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's eyes as he growled, "Die!"
The moment the sword's edge clashed with the fist's energy, a clear, resounding clang echoed throughout the world.
But in the next moment, the whole world seemed to fall into a great silence, with only the clanging of the sword remaining.
Everything paled in comparison, as if plunged into eternal night, into boundless darkness. All that could be heard was a buzzing sound, as if one were the only person left in the world.
It seems as if countless years have passed, yet it also feels like only a fleeting moment.
Click.
A sharp, clear sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears, like glass shattering.
Immediately, the murky world became crystal clear, and the countless stars in the sky returned to a state of clear visibility, like dazzling pearls hanging in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, they heard a loud 'bang,' like thunder splitting the heavens and the earth, the sound shaking the universe.
With this deafening roar, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the sky, from which streaks of dazzling golden light burst forth.
The next second, it exploded with a deafening roar!
The brilliant sun, formed from the stars, slowly collapsed and vanished before everyone's eyes, finally disappearing completely.
At that moment, a slightly weary figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
Thump~
Her clothes were half-ripped, revealing patches of her snow-white skin. Her slender, delicate body was covered in blood, indicating extremely serious injuries.
The huge bloodstain on her chest was particularly striking; the bright red blood flowed down, staining her fair and delicate skin, a shocking sight.
However, she seemed oblivious to the pain, raising her head to gaze at the sky with a mocking smile on her lips.
"Hiss!"
"She's still alive?!"
"How could this be?! She actually endured it!"
"This woman actually managed to block a Celestial Venerable's full-force attack?!"
Upon seeing this scene, both the Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming and the Void Bright Immortal Venerable were completely stunned.
Just now, Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming was about to make a move, but because he could always sense Xiao Minghuang's presence, he ultimately stopped himself.
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang stood on a cloud, his fist trembling slightly, the lines on his palm clearly visible, his eyes extremely gloomy, and his expression extremely unpleasant.
He never expected that this little immortal king could actually withstand his full-force attack!
Moreover, what surprised him most was not that Xiao Minghuang blocked his attack, but that breaking the sword light didn't take much effort when his attack landed.
But after shattering the sword light, it collapsed, as if falling into another dimension, as if an iron fist had smashed into cotton, soft and yielding no reaction.
His attack was indeed powerful, more than enough to kill hundreds or thousands of Xiao Minghuang, but due to this strange phenomenon, his attack actually only had 10% of its power left, and it truly landed on Xiao Minghuang.
It was as if another dimension had appeared out of nowhere, hovering above Xiao Minghuang's head and swallowing up all of his attacks.
"What on earth is going on?!"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang stared intently at Xiao Minghuang, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
At this moment, although Xiao Minghuang was covered in blood, she remained standing. A mocking smile played on her lips as she indifferently surveyed Immortal Venerable Wu Chang.
573. Time hastens the aging of the immortal!
"Immortal Venerable Wu Chang, come and hit me!"
Her tone was flat, yet it was filled with a strong sense of provocation.
