Star Transposition Unleashes Its Might

"Unless Zhao Wuji is dead, I will never rest easy."

Duan Yu said calmly, "Xue Beng was supposed to die, but since he interfered, he should die in Xue Beng's place."

"No, kid."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid reminded him, "We just used those two divine artifacts. We probably can't use them again anytime soon, so how are you going to kill him?"

Duan Yu chuckled softly. "Little Ye, have you forgotten about that Dragon Bone Fragment?"

As he spoke, a crown appeared in Duan Yu's hand. The entire crown was earth-yellow, with countless towering mountain ranges and rivers winding around them.

Most striking of all was the massive Mountain Dragon King coiling above the countless mountains.

It seemed fused with those mountains as one.

Even Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid was stunned at the sight of the crown, asking incredulously:

"This is also a divine artifact?"

"Of course it is."

Duan Yu raised his chin. "No wonder that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen was in such a hurry. He secretly guarded a treasure like this for all these years. What greed."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid looked at the crown, still feeling that something was off. "That's not right. If he had a divine artifact like this, wouldn't we have died long ago if he'd taken it out earlier?"

Duan Yu clicked his tongue and looked at Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid as though it were some ignorant bumpkin.

"You've lived for a hundred thousand years, yet you don't even understand this. Divine artifacts have spirits, so naturally, they have masters. The master of this Mountain Dragon King's Crown was the Mountain Dragon King, one of the nine great Dragon Kings under the Dragon God."

"Yu Yuanzhen is just a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, not even a true dragon, yet he wants to wield it? What a fool's dream."

"Fine."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid nodded. "Since you've decided, let's go. With this divine artifact, killing a Soul Saint shouldn't be much of a problem."

"But do you know where he is? Heaven Dou City is so big; finding him should take some effort, right?"

"Heaven Dou City?"

Duan Yu sneered. "That old bastard isn't in Heaven Dou City. He's clever. He should be hiding out in some wilderness right now."

"Alright."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid suggested, "Should we make our move late tonight, when everything is quiet?"

"Of course. We can go scout the place now."

After saying that, Duan Yu placed a gold soul coin on the table and walked outside.

Seeing that Duan Yu already knew where Zhao Wuji was, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said no more. He was only a Soul Saint; even if Duan Yu failed to kill him, he would not be in danger.

Duan Yu had been absolutely right.

Elsewhere, at Shrek Academy in the wilderness, a middle-aged man lounged lazily in a chair, asleep.

It was none other than Zhao Wuji.

The recent events had clearly left Zhao Wuji restless. Instead of sleeping in his room in the middle of the night, he was sleeping out here. Wasn't that the perfect chance for Duan Yu to strike?

Leaning in his chair, Zhao Wuji could not figure out who the person who had fought him that day was.

That person had not released his martial soul throughout the entire fight, yet he had not fallen behind in the slightest against Zhao Wuji. He had even been able to use Zhao Wuji's own strength to attack Xue Beng.

Zhao Wuji was certain that person could not have been very old, certainly no older than twenty.

"Who could it be?"

Zhao Wuji looked at the moon in the sky, unable to figure out who among the younger generation possessed the strength to stand against him.

Just then, a white-haired figure appeared out of thin air behind Zhao Wuji. Wearing the Mountain Dragon King's Crown, he slashed at Zhao Wuji with a claw.

The instant Zhao Wuji sensed spatial fluctuations nearby, he released his martial soul. The Mighty Vajra Bear possessed him, but Spatial Dragon Claw still tore a mark across his back.

Even as a Soul Saint, Zhao Wuji gained no advantage under such a sudden ambush.

If he had not reacted in time, that single claw strike would have killed Zhao Wuji outright.

"It's you?!"

Looking at that familiar figure and ability, Zhao Wuji immediately realized that, despite seeing him only once, this was the person who had attacked Xue Beng and framed him.

"What if it is?"

Duan Yu did not waste words. After speaking, he lunged forward again, slashing Zhao Wuji with the dragon claw in his hand.

"Competing in strength?" Zhao Wuji sneered. He neither dodged nor retreated, instead meeting the attack head-on.

The bear paw and dragon claw collided. After only one exchange, Zhao Wuji felt the Mighty Vajra Bear wailing and begging for mercy.

The Mighty Vajra Bear was afraid?!

Zhao Wuji stared at Duan Yu in disbelief.

How was that possible? The Mighty Vajra Bear was already one of the top beast martial souls. Then Zhao Wuji noticed the dragon claw wreathed in silver light.

A dragon-type martial soul... was he from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?

Duan Yu gave Zhao Wuji no time to figure it out. While Zhao Wuji was still stunned, he flashed before him in an instant and clawed at his face.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically as the first and third soul rings beneath his feet lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Immovable Wisdom King Body."

"Third Soul Skill, Gravity Control."

Intense golden light erupted from Zhao Wuji's body. He brought his hands together to block Duan Yu's claw, then abruptly raised an arm and clawed back at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu instinctively tried to retreat, but to his surprise, Zhao Wuji's Gravity Control took effect directly on him, tightly restraining him.

Duan Yu sneered. You want to use gravity to restrain me?

A chill flashed through Duan Yu's eyes. In the next moment, he broke free of Gravity Control directly, retreated once, then rushed forward again and punched Zhao Wuji with the suppression of his martial soul.

This time, Zhao Wuji was not fortunate enough to evade it.

With a boom, Zhao Wuji was smashed against a tree, leaving a huge crater.

Zhao Wuji grunted and glared at Duan Yu. "Bastard, you're courting death!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Compression!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly brought his palms together, and the fifth black ten-thousand-year soul ring beneath his feet blazed with light.

At that moment, Duan Yu felt the air around him turn violent.

It was as though countless invisible hands were squeezing in from every direction, trying to forcibly crush and shatter his bones.

Even Flander would not dare take Zhao Wuji's move lightly. He could only quickly pull away and wait for the gravity to disappear before seeking another opportunity.

Yet Duan Yu's expression remained calm—or rather, he had never been flustered in the first place.

The moment he realized that Zhao Wuji's fifth and third soul skills both relied on gravity to suppress him, he stopped worrying entirely and even ceased to regard Zhao Wuji as a threat.

No matter how much you increase gravity, I only need to transfer all the space away.

The Spatial Dragon King's divine-grade innate ability: Star Transposition.

When Duan Yu awakened his martial soul, Star Transposition had appeared in his mind.

Six years had passed, and Star Transposition had been deeply imprinted in Duan Yu's mind. His use of Star Transposition had also become increasingly effortless.

Now, no matter how gravity shifted or intensified, Star Transposition could operate on its own and dispel the gravity Zhao Wuji had pressed upon him.
