Born with immortal seed

Chapter 831 The Sword of Time vs. the Dharma Image of the Starry Sky

"A near-seventh-tier star beast!"

A golden shadow flickered, and a ferocious beast almost identical to the previous Sky-Gazing Hou emerged from the starlight passage. Master Qijue turned ashen-faced, losing all composure.

This pheasant was much larger, and its fur had turned golden.

The aura it exuded distorted the surrounding light, making it feel like walking in another dimension.

There is clearly only one Sky-Gazing Hou in this star field. How could Master Qijue, who has been planning for so many years, have made a mistake on this crucial point?

Equivalent to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, a near-seventh-tier star beast hovering at the threshold of the Body Integration stage cannot be ignored.

After the previous Sky-Gazing Hou died, this golden Sky-Gazing Hou appeared out of nowhere, which seemed so illogical.

Only those who have already reached the fusion stage and possess some of the power of a seventh-tier star beast can do this.

Upon sensing the demise of their kin, they immediately descended from other star systems using their great supernatural powers.

The reason why Master Qijue was in despair was that he clearly understood the enormous gap between refining emptiness and merging with the body.

"Run! Don't be afraid to die, use any means necessary!"

Three more Seven Absolute Masters suddenly appeared, flying and fleeing in four directions, each using their supernatural powers.

Even as he fled, he didn't forget to shout out to Bai Zichen.

When their lives were hanging by a thread, they didn't take advantage of their partners' misfortune or use them as scapegoats.

Instead, he reminded people to escape, which shows his exceptional character.

However, the Dual God-Slaying Technique, which Seven Absolutes Master regarded as his trump card, did not demonstrate much power in front of the Golden-Haired Sky-Gazing Hou.

Before each incarnation, several golden-haired mythical beasts appeared simultaneously, spewing golden light from their mouths and blasting everything in their path to dust.

puff!
The inkstone shattered, the paintbrush flew into the sky, and the white-clad youth riding the green lion backwards had half his body smashed away. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground along with his mount.

The unrestrained scholar didn't utter a sound, but was directly hit by more than ten golden rays and instantly vaporized.

Only the arithmetic avatar and the original body withstood the first wave, but both were forced to retreat several steps, their faces ashen.

Master Qijue revealed a resolute look. His arithmetic avatar, dressed in black and white robes, pressed his palms into his chest and let out a painful howl that he forcibly suppressed.

Its body disappeared piece by piece, and different characters flew out, falling towards the head of the Sky-Gazing Hou.

Each character that arrived made Wangtianhou pause in its tracks, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on it.

What was sacrificed was the complete abandonment of this avatar, and the complete loss of all realms of mathematical deduction, in exchange for the strength of the Perfected Void Refinement stage.

The main body summoned a palm leaf, slashed it in front of itself, revealing the void, and was about to enter it.

'To be able to break through a sixth-tier magic weapon of the Void, and to maintain one's position as the number one person on the Yao Guang Continent, one must possess considerable skill...'

The moment Bai Zichen had this thought, Wangtianhou rolled on the ground, and a gigantic, indescribable beast was formed from starlight.

Even every single hair is meticulously rendered by the starlight.

He leaped down, and stardust fell like a shower of light.

With just a gentle flick of its front paw, the characters, which contained countless profound truths and moved along the most perfect trajectory, were like pieces of paper, which were punctured with a single "pop".

The star beast wore a clear expression of disdain, as if mocking the human cultivators' overestimation of their abilities.

With another swipe of its claws, Master Qijue was forced to retreat uncontrollably, watching helplessly as the rift in the void closed once more.

"The Dharma of the Starry Sky..."

"I am in despair," said Master Qijue, unleashing a variety of secret techniques, like a dazzling fireworks display.

But against the enormous, star-like beast, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Ripples exploded on the body of the Sky-Gazing Hou, but the overall structure remained unchanged.

Star Beasts are different from other living beings; their most prominent feature at the seventh rank is their starry sky avatar.

By merging oneself with heaven and earth, one can awaken the power of the entire star field.

It manifests in different forms, but once activated, it absolutely crushes any being below the Fusion stage.

The power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by any single person or thing.

The enormous starlight beast trampled the Seven Absolutes Master under its feet, making him as insignificant as dust.

As the starry sky manifestation of the Wangtianhou was fully revealed, it completely shattered the starlight channel.

With a flick of his head, he made even a distant star pale in comparison.

"I never imagined that after a lifetime of wandering, born beyond the heavens, traversing the three great immortal realms, and crossing the Heavenly Abyss, I would perish here..."

Master Qijue gave up struggling, his face filled with sorrow.

"The opportunity to break through to a higher realm is also the time of death... It's laughable that I, who have studied arithmetic and deduction so well and thought I had figured out the mysteries of fate, still stumbled here."

Possessing the Starry Sky Dharma Form, this Sky-Gazing Hou can even exchange a couple of blows with a combined entity.

Even the strongest Void Refinement cultivator couldn't possibly stir up any trouble.

"Master, there's no need to despair. There's always a way out when things reach their end. Did you expect someone would help you out of this predicament today?"

As Bai Zichen faced the giant claw of starlight, he felt as if he had become an enemy of this star field, sensing rejection from all directions.

Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth felt disgusted by it and fled in circles.

The next moment, just like Master Qijue, he would fall into the clutches of beasts and become merchandise to be slaughtered at will.

With a carefree laugh, a long river stretched across the sky, separating the two.

By shifting his body to one side in the river of time, he avoided this seemingly inevitable attack.

On multiple occasions, it entered and exited the river of time, thus avoiding attacks from the Starry Sky Dharma Image.

"This is the Great Dao of Time? The successor of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Master Qijue exclaimed in surprise, his previously dim eyes shining brightly again.

If there is such a thing as transcending one's cultivation level in the Immortal Realm, then only the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Void can bridge such a huge gap in cultivation.

The former, in particular, is most capable of creating miracles.

Aside from those born with the physique of the Dao of Time, there are very few cultivators in the world who can master the Dao of Time.

Bai Zichen suddenly made a move, demonstrating this skill and giving him hope for survival.

Who would have thought that a helper they found at random would possess such skills?

Although their levels of attainment were vastly different, the Great Dao of Time held infinite possibilities, and the outcome remained uncertain until the very last moment.

"A near-seventh-tier star beast... Only an opponent like this deserves the strongest version of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword to test its strength!"

Bai Zichen remained calm, not only to save Master Qijue, but also to seek a way to survive for himself.

This Wangtianhou, which descended because of the death of its kin, is not easy to communicate with. Its purpose here is to make all living beings pay the price for the death of that silver-haired Wangtianhou.

He was the strongest enemy he faced after his ascension.

Even the Lord of Qingxuan Palace would certainly have an advantage in terms of personal treasures, but this Starry Sky Dharma Image completely surpasses every Void Refinement cultivator who has not cultivated the seventh-order divine power to perfection.

If they can defeat this formidable opponent, it means that the Lord of Qingxuan Palace has no advantage over him whatsoever.

It is also the best opportunity to test oneself, to see how effective the results of seclusion and arduous training can be when facing opponents of a higher level, and whether one is on the right path.

Yuan Ying drew his sword, and seven Azure Emperor Longevity Swords were unleashed simultaneously, creating an unprecedented spectacle before his eyes.

The drops of silver frost flow with true meaning, exuding a desolate and icy chill.

It instantly lifted the swordsman to an extremely high and distant position, giving him a lofty aura and an air of looking down upon all living beings.

This sword strike seemed to come from ancient times, spanning countless eras and witnessing the changes of time.

With each step forward, the scene contained within the sword light changed rapidly, and the starlight it collided with along the way weakened and dimmed, heading towards its end.

"Roar!"

The Sky-Gazing Beast let out a roar that resounded throughout the star field, causing all the stars to tremble. Even the brightest stars overhead cast their light upon it, making the starry sky image even more lifelike and vibrant.

With its claws raised and a solemn expression, it slowly pushed forward.

This caused a celestial tide, using the power of the entire star field to fight against the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

Even the illusory yet real river of time was stirred, its normal course altered, flowing diagonally for who knows how many miles.

"This is what you call the Starry Sky Avenue!"

Bai Zichen was not surprised but delighted. Compared with the Starry Sky Technique of the Sky-Gazing Beast, his own Star River Sword Formation was simply insignificant and far inferior.

If this step can be achieved, the Star River Sword Formation will still be a force to be reckoned with at the Fusion level.

If I were standing in front of the Sky-Gazing Beast, I would be crushed to dust in less than a breath, and no protective measures would be of any use.

No matter how strong one's Void Refinement power is, how can it withstand a world or a star field?

Fortunately, what they were facing head-on was the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

This sword, nurtured to perfection, serves as a bridge between the river of time, its light constantly traversing between the past and the future.

Even if the Starry Sky Dharma Image uses a hundred percent of its power, only a fraction of it will land on it.

In the blink of an eye, it had already blasted onto the top of the Sky-Gazing Beast's head.

Compared to the towering Starry Sky Law, the Sword of Time is as insignificant as a strand of hair.

However, this star beast, which was very likely a king of the Wangtianhou clan, showed unprecedented seriousness, blocking the way with a simple shield made of countless pieces of meteorite iron.

Each piece of meteorite iron is the core of a destroyed world. Apart from the star beasts born and raised there, no other living beings could possibly gather such a large quantity.

Each star core represents a world history spanning countless millennia.

The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was unstoppable, but it was clear that as the star core shattered piece by piece, the sword light was gradually consumed.

Finally, a much smaller Wangtianhou emerged from the starry sky avatar to meet the sword light.

"How laughable! How could the Sword Intent of Time be blocked by a mere clone? Even a reincarnated body that has severed its connection can trace back to the original body with a single sword strike... Moreover, my true killing move is not in the sword light itself, but in the river of time that follows it!"

All Bai Zichen could do was draw upon the true essence of time within his entire body, urging the River of Time to unfold and sweep towards the Sky-Gazing Beast.

It was just an ordinary river, but when it came into the presence of the Starry Sky Dharma Image, it was no less ferocious than the Starry Sky Beast.

The waves surged and rolled, flowing ceaselessly, gradually enveloping the image of the starry sky.

The Sky-Gazing Hou stood up, and countless golden hairs shot out from its body, piercing through the void.

Since we can't defeat the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, let's kill the envoy and the Time Divine Power will dissipate on its own.

With the power of the Sky-Gazing Hou, it can withstand the erosion of time for quite some time.

Bai Zichen felt a chilling aura behind him, as if he were being locked onto by a sharp, hard object, and sensed the threat of death.

He couldn't withstand this attack!
