A clear flicker of surprise crossed Emperor Star's eyes. As he looked at Shiheng, his killing intent instantly grew fiercer and more frenzied. "Good! What a genius, one rarely seen in all eternity! You actually dare to withstand my destruction laws with a mortal body! All the more reason for me to kill you! Leaving you alive would only invite grave trouble. Today, you will surely die!"
With those words, Emperor Star held nothing back. His massive body moved as he threw himself fully into the battle, swinging his claws and drawing upon the destruction laws to unleash a tempest of attacks on Shiheng.
The body of a God-level magical beast was unimaginably powerful. Coupled with the destruction laws constantly eroding and decaying every attack, even the immensely powerful blade arcs Shiheng unleashed could only splash faint sparks of divine radiance off Emperor Star's body. They could not even pierce his tough hide and fur. He was truly impervious to blades and spears, beyond the reach of laws.
More frightening still, Emperor Star had lived for ten thousand long years, experienced countless battles large and small, and spent ten thousand years fighting for his life in Gorba Prison. His combat techniques, adaptability, and ability to seize openings had long reached perfection. Every attack was vicious and cunning, aimed precisely at weaknesses in the circulation of Shiheng's spiritual power and his application of rules. Every move was lethal, giving Shiheng no chance to catch his breath or recover his strength.
Beyond that, Emperor Star also concealed unique innate magical-beast abilities. Combined with the destruction laws, he sometimes drew upon the power of the earth and mixed it with an aura of destruction, forming an immensely heavy cage of laws that locked Shiheng firmly in place and left him nowhere to dodge.
