Chapter 1708: Chapter 1705: Star Cloud Ancestor!
"Rise for me!"
Li Chen frantically activated the Meteorite Heart, completely sealing the surrounding space.
By the time Zhai Xingzi realized the situation was dire, it was already too late.
"Zhai Xingzi, your time to die has arrived!"
Li Chen finished speaking and pointed his finger towards the sky. Countless Sword Shadows crisscrossed to weave a Death God’s Luo Net, enveloping Zhai Xingzi.
Zhai Xingzi had already been severely injured earlier and was naturally incapable of handling Li Chen’s meticulously prepared deadly trap.
Just as Zhai Xingzi was struggling to fend off attacks, Li Chen continuously infused the Starlight Dragon Abyss with the star power within him.
Instantly, his entire figure merged with the Starlight Dragon Abyss, unleashing this earth-shattering, ghost-god-weeping sword strike.
Zhai Xingzi’s defenses were all utterly ineffective against this dominative sword strike of Li Chen’s.
The unparalleled Sword Shadow instantly tore through his defenses, piercing his heart’s Life Gate.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently, staining the entire vast sky a glaring scarlet in an instant.
Zhai Xingzi’s pupils widened in shock; his gaze was vacant, staring blankly at the Sword Rainbow piercing into his body, his face full of disbelief.
Just then, under his gaze, the Sword Rainbow suddenly erupted into thousands of Sword Rainbows, directly shredding his entire flesh into pieces.
As Zhai Xingzi’s flesh turned into minced meat and blood mist spread, an amber silhouette fled frantically from within like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Li Chen knew this was Zhai Xingzi’s Divine Soul!
Now was the optimal moment to completely obliterate Zhai Xingzi’s spirit. How could he possibly miss such an opportunity?
Because the surrounding space had already been sealed by Li Chen, Zhai Xingzi had nowhere to escape.
Suddenly!
He resembled a rabid dog, frantically crashing against the spatial barriers.
Zhai Xingzi, after all, was a cultivator at the Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection. Despite having only a residual soul, his strength was still formidable.
Li Chen had already consumed a great deal of True Yuan when destroying Zhai Xingzi and obliterating his flesh, so the energy at the spatial edges was very weak.
He forcibly tore open a gap!
Zhai Xingzi’s Divine Soul escaped and headed straight for the now-ruined Star-Picking Tower.
This somewhat surprised Li Chen!
Could it be that there is some unknown secret within the Star-Picking Tower?
With this thought, Li Chen did not rush to chase him. Instead, he crossed his arms and watched coldly, wondering what tricks Zhai Xingzi might still have.
Upon entering the Star-Picking Tower, Zhai Xingzi’s Divine Soul unexpectedly merged with it.
"Disciple Zhai Xingzi in distress, request master to appear for rescue!"
As he shouted this, Zhai Xingzi felt an indescribable sadness.
Back then, when his master, Star Cloud Ancestor, ascended, he left behind a clone residing in the Star-Picking Tower.
The master specifically instructed, that if faced with a life-and-death crisis, he could forcibly awaken the clone left in the Star-Picking Tower using the power of the Divine Soul.
At that time, Zhai Xingzi did not pay much mind to this.
After Star Cloud Ancestor’s ascension, Zhai Xingzi was the number one in Wuyu and had control over the massive force of Xingyun Hall.
Which unobservant fool would dare to provoke Zhai Xingzi?
Thus, Zhai Xingzi believed he would surely ascend without ever needing to awaken his master’s clone resting in the Star-Picking Tower.
However, now he was left with no choice but to do so!
If pushed to such a miserable state by a Great Power from an Alien Domain, perhaps he could accept it with more ease.
But being driven to this plight by a young Li Chen, Zhai Xingzi found it extremely hard to accept.
Accompanying Zhai Xingzi’s angry roar filled with hatred, a stunning Bai Guang descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Star-Picking Tower.
Soon after, a figure whose hair and beard were all white appeared out of nowhere, enveloped in white auspicious light.
The remaining spectators who hadn’t yet distanced themselves were so shocked at the sight of this figure that their eyes nearly popped out.
"Is this... Star Cloud Ancestor?"
"Wasn’t Star Cloud Ancestor supposed to have ascended and become an Immortal? How could he appear here?"
...
In the presence of Star Cloud Ancestor, even the most arrogant cultivators present had to bow their heads, not daring to look directly.
Back in the day, Star Cloud Ancestor single-handedly suppressed thirteen top-level powers of Wuyu, earning himself a legendary status.
And so far, no one has been able to match him.
Star Cloud Ancestor saw his foundation of Xingyun Hall created years ago had been reduced to ruins, and his proud disciple, Zhai Xingzi, was now a lone soul without a flesh body, looking utterly miserable.
Noticing this, Star Cloud Ancestor’s expression immediately turned sullen.
"Zhai Xingzi, what have you done?"
Hearing his master’s reprimand, Zhai Xingzi hastily prostrated himself, speaking in a trembling voice, "Disciple is incapable, I plead for master’s punishment!"
Star Cloud Ancestor cast a glance at Zhai Xingzi before turning his gaze to Li Chen not far away.
When he noticed Li Chen’s cultivation was only at the Mid Mahayana Peak Realm, his expression was greatly shocked.
Bear in mind, Zhai Xingzi was his favorite disciple, highly gifted, and had reached the Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection, half a step into the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Realm as a top-level power.
Aside from a true Tribulation Crossing Great Ability, anyone else trying to harm him would find it nearly impossible, let alone pushing him to such a dire situation.
Star Cloud Ancestor did not immediately attack Li Chen. He wanted to first gauge Li Chen’s background.
"Young man, who are you, and who is your master?"
Li Chen’s gaze was dominative, meeting Star Cloud Ancestor’s eyes without backing down.
"You are not worthy of knowing these things!"
Let alone the other Star Domain Worlds; here in Wuyu, Star Cloud Ancestor was a supreme, omnipotent god.
Yet now, a junior spoke to him with such an arrogant tone, causing Star Cloud Ancestor’s expression to become sullen once more.
"If you won’t tell me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as the words fell, Star Cloud Ancestor’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and his wide sleeves swiftly filled to the brim.
It seemed that with his every move, he could destroy this world.
The fierce aura emitted by Star Cloud Ancestor was felt even by cultivators thousands of miles away, akin to an unspeakable pressure.
Some cultivators with weaker cultivation couldn’t withstand such terrifying pressure and exploded to death on the spot.
"This... this is the power of the Immortal Realm—truly terrifying!"
Zhai Xingzi’s pupils contracted sharply, filled with burning zeal.
He believed his cultivation had already half-stepped into the Immortal Realm. The displayed battle power, though not as great as an Immortal’s, would be comparable.
But now it seemed he was gravely mistaken.
This wasn’t comparable; it was a world apart.
How wonderful would it be if he himself could also step into the Immortal Realm?
However, when he reminded himself that his flesh had been destroyed, and he might never reach the Immortal Realm, the fervency in his pupils was doused as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, extinguishing it completely.
Not to mention the Immortal Realm, now completely out of reach. Rebuilding his flesh and returning to the peak realm seemed nearly impossible.
Thinking this, a fire of rage immediately ignited in Zhai Xingzi’s heart, his gaze at Li Chen filled with growing hatred.
He seemed to fall into rage like a nearly mad beast, hysterically shouting, "Master, avenge your disciple!"
