Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 621 The Old Man and the Young Friend

Just as Hong Fuqitian was radiating golden light, attracting everyone's attention, Xiaoyue Zhenren, who was not far away, suddenly froze!
She turned around abruptly, her hawk-like eyes fixed on Hong Fuqitian. When she saw that familiar yet utterly repulsive golden divine light, a surge of anger that had been suppressed for countless years rushed to her head, making her almost grind her teeth to powder.

"It's you, you dog?!" Master Xiaoyue's voice was filled with undisguised anger.

"Hahahaha!" Kaiyang Xingjun, who was controlling Hongfu Qitian's body, let out a hearty laugh, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery. "Yes, yes, it's been a long time, Xiaoyue sister, I've missed you too!" As he spoke, he actually opened his arms, as if he was about to go up and give Xiaoyue Zhenren a "warm" hug.

Just then, several demonic star manifestations roared and charged forward. The Howling Moon True Man, already enraged, saw Kaiyang Star Lord's frivolous actions, which only fueled his anger, and he let out a furious roar—

"Go—to—die!"

Before she finished speaking, the pair of curved blades in her hands had already transformed into a dazzling silver halo! In an instant, dozens of sharp and incomparable arc-shaped blade energies, centered on her, slashed wildly in all directions like blooming lotus flowers of death! The wind of the blades howled, instantly covering a large area!

Hong Fuqi was terrified and hurriedly reversed his body to retreat, yelling as he dodged, "Damn it! Stop! We're on the same side! Don't hurt me!" Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and in his divine state, he moved with agility, narrowly avoiding being caught in the dense and terrifying shadow of blades.

Those unfortunate demonic star manifestations were instantly cleaved into countless black smoke fragments by this indiscriminate attack in a fit of rage, and were dead beyond any doubt.

"Hey, Lord Star Lord, take it easy!" Hong Fu Qitian shouted into the microphone. "If you're going to meet your old flame, don't let these old bones of mine be ruined here! I'm too old for this kind of ordeal!"

Because he was in a state of divine possession, both Hongfu Qitian and Kaiyang Xingjun could control this body to some extent. Hongfu Qitian's original plan was to let Kaiyang Xingjun take the lead in the battle, since he wasn't very familiar with Kaiyang Xingjun's skills and direct AI control would allow him to better utilize his abilities. However, seeing the current situation, he was hesitant to completely relinquish control, fearing that the star lord might get carried away and use his body to commit suicide.

"Don't worry, kid, you won't die." Kaiyang Xingjun showed no tension whatsoever, instead displaying a somewhat cynical attitude—this wasn't his body, so he wasn't afraid of dying, and of course he wasn't nervous.

He glanced regretfully at the graceful figure of Xiaoyue Zhenren amidst the horde of monsters, seemingly wanting to say something. But the next second, his attention was forcibly drawn to the thunderous sounds of battle explosions overhead.

At this moment, the battle in the sky had reached a fever pitch. Two divine dragons, one white and one gold, were frantically circling and attacking the enormous black sphere! White icy dragon breath and golden blazing dragon flames intertwined and sprayed out, attempting to destroy the structure of the demon star with an extreme temperature difference.

Lin Xuance and Wu Qingyue, relying on their extraordinary agility and protective immortal techniques, rushed to a closer distance, their fierce sword energy and mountain-splitting fist force attacking fiercely from both sides!
However, this demonic star's defensive capabilities were truly outrageously powerful! Facing the combined attack of four powerful figures, it showed no fear whatsoever. Not only was it not suppressed, but from its smooth spherical surface, like plants sprouting, more than a dozen enormous, twisting, writhing black tentacles, each over a hundred meters long, "grew" out! These tentacles appeared soft, yet were exceptionally tough and flexible, like giant, living whips, frantically coiling and lashing out at Lin Xuance and Wu Qingyue nearby!

Lin Xuance's swordsmanship was superb. He slashed left and right with his immortal sword, his sword energy crisscrossing, constantly cutting off the tentacles reaching towards him. Although the tentacles would regenerate quickly after being cut, he could at least barely keep himself from being entangled.

Wu Qingyue, on the other hand, was in a worse situation. Although his fist force was incomparably fierce and powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, he felt a sense of frustration at being unable to exert his strength against these exceptionally flexible, effortless, and regenerative tentacles. He was surrounded and attacked by several tentacles, making him flustered and in danger. He could only rely on his strong body and agile movements to dodge.

"Huh? Isn't that the Demon-Slaying Immortal from Guyun Prefecture? Why are they in Canglin Prefecture, getting into a fight with this dark ball?" Kaiyang Xingjun asked curiously.

"Lord Star Lord! We're currently battling a demon star! The important matter comes first!" Hong Fu Qitian couldn't help but remind him, and then tentatively asked, "By the way... are you really up to the task? Those guys in the sky are having such a hard time, how about... I take over?"

He was only half telling the truth. His skill panel was now filled with a series of divine abilities from Kaiyang Xingjun, gleaming in gold, each name more imposing than the last. However, aside from a few basic ones he'd occasionally used when summoning the gods, he knew absolutely nothing about most of the advanced skills; he certainly wouldn't be able to use them perfectly if he tried them directly.

"Hmph, brat, you look down on me, the Star Lord?" Kaiyang Star Lord said arrogantly, "Just wait and see! Watch how I, the Star Lord, display my divine power!"

As he spoke, Kaiyang Xingjun controlled the body of Hongfu Qitian, paused, and the golden light around him surged again, like a small human-shaped sun suddenly shining brightly, and then he soared into the air!

"Hey! Star Lord! Use it sparingly! This divine power is very limited, so don't use it recklessly!" Hong Fu Qitian hurriedly warned.

When a spirit medium summons a deity to possess them, they don't invoke the deity's true form, but rather a divine avatar or projection of consciousness possessing a portion of its power. Therefore, the "divine power" they can mobilize is limited, displayed in the character's status bar. Although the maximum divine power increases significantly after reaching level 40 with the "Blessed with Fortune" skill, it's still only a maximum of 2000 points! Using a few powerful high-level divine abilities can easily deplete most of that 2000 points.

He'd staked his remaining lifespan on this, hoping this "last big spender" would deliver a spectacular performance and bring in some benefits to recoup his losses. If Kaiyang Xingjun went up and recklessly squandered his resources without achieving the desired effect, then all those years of his lifespan would have been wasted!
"Don't worry, kid, I know what I'm doing. Just watch my performance!" Kaiyang Xingjun was full of confidence, clearly not taking Hongfu Qitian's worries too seriously. After taking off, he quickly locked onto the huge black sphere in the air, and with his hands clasped together in front of his chest, a golden-red sphere containing terrifying heat rapidly condensed and grew larger in his hands!
"Divine Power - Blazing Sun Annihilation Wave!"

With a loud shout, the enormous golden fireball, resembling a miniature sun, hurtled towards the demon star, trailing a blazing tail of flame!
"boom--!!!!!"

The blazing fireball collided squarely with the pitch-black demonic planet! In an instant, it exploded violently, like two asteroids colliding! Dazzling golden light mixed with black energy turbulence, forming a devastating shockwave that spread in all directions like a tsunami! Even the two immortals and two divine dragons who were engaged in fierce combat were thrown off balance by the sudden and massive explosion, flying far away!

As the blinding golden light and billowing dust subsided, everyone looked closely and saw that the black sphere was still perfectly intact, suspended in mid-air, without even a trace of scorch marks on its surface. Only the tentacles that had grown out to attack Lin Xuance and Wu Qingyue were completely burned away by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Kaiyang Xingjun was immediately taken aback and said awkwardly, "This thing is actually quite clever... but at least burn away those annoying tentacles!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the black sphere began to wriggle, and in the blink of an eye, more and thicker black tentacles grew wildly again, waving their claws and baring their teeth.

amount……

"Is this Fellow Daoist Kaiyang?" At this moment, Lin Xuance, who had just regained his footing, flew over, his gaze sweeping over the golden, glittering Hongfu Qitian, his tone carrying a hint of confirmation.

"Haha, it is indeed I, the Star Lord! Demon-Slaying Immortal, I never expected that after so many years, you would still remember me?" Kaiyang Star Lord manipulated Hongfu Qitian's face and squeezed out a dashing smile.

"You look so tired, it's hard to forget you," Lin Xuan replied tactfully, his gaze subtly sweeping over Hong Fu Qitian's aged body. He thought to himself, 'Although this old man's own strength is insignificant, at such an age he's still willing to bear the cost of shortened lifespan, summoning the avatar of Kaiyang Xingjun. He does possess a certain heroic spirit that refuses to accept old age.'

He changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "You've come at the right time! I've been fighting this fiend for a long time, and although I haven't achieved anything, I've spotted a weakness in him and come up with a plan to defeat him. Why don't you lend a hand?"

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lin already has a plan to defeat the enemy? Give the order as soon as possible! This Star Lord will certainly cooperate!" Upon hearing this, Star Lord Kaiyang also put away his joking expression. Although he was unruly in nature, he was never ambiguous when it came to important matters such as dealing with evil demons and heretics.

At this moment, the white and golden dragons in the sky had readjusted their postures and were spewing out dragon breath intertwined with ice and fire towards the demon star. However, apart from creating ripples on the smooth surface of the demon star and destroying some tentacles, they still achieved nothing. The golden dragon, in the form of the Supreme Emperor, was also feeling somewhat annoyed and anxious. "This level 99 ultimate BOSS is indeed ridiculously powerful..." he thought to himself, "My divine dragon form may seem majestic, but compared to these immortals, I'm actually just a high-level infantryman. At most, I can only join in the fun and hold them back for a bit."

What worried him even more was that after bombarding the enemy for so long, he still didn't know how much effective damage he had dealt in the system's damage statistics, or whether he had obtained the right to pick up the final drop. The strangest thing was that this thing didn't even have a health bar, making it impossible to judge the course of the battle, which really made him feel uncertain.

I've risked my life to participate in this level of battle, I can't afford to end up not even getting an assist.

Just as he finished exhaling and was about to catch his breath, the demon star that had been hovering motionless suddenly disappeared from its spot without warning!

In the next instant, it appeared like a ghost between the white dragon and the golden dragon! Hundreds of black tentacles, like a swarm of snakes, coiled around the two divine dragons that were so close at hand from all directions!

The white dragon that Xiao Jie had transformed into reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that there was no way to avoid the tentacles flying everywhere, he did not hesitate and instantly dispelled his Dharma form, transforming back into human form. At the same time, immortal power surged beneath his feet—

Immortal Technique - Shadow Step!

Whoosh! His figure flashed a hundred meters away in an instant, narrowly avoiding the deadly entanglement.

But the Supreme Emperor cannot be so flexible.

His dragon transformation skill, though powerful, has a limited duration and a considerable cooldown period after it ends. If he were to forcibly revert to human form now, he would immediately lose his powerful dragon body and flight ability. Since he cannot teleport, he would likely be instantly killed under the siege of so many terrifying tentacles! He could only try to escape by circling and flying in his dragon form.

However, there was no way to escape. He was instantly bound tightly by countless black tentacles! No matter how much he struggled and twisted, he could not break free!
The surface of that demonic planet suddenly cracked open again, revealing a terrifying maw covered with layers upon layers of swirling, sharp teeth! Countless tentacles dragged the tightly bound golden dragon, trying to force it into that maw and devour it!
"Holy crap—oh no—! Help!!" The Supreme Emperor felt a chill run down his spine and, without hesitation, screamed for help into the microphone.

Damn, what bad luck... Xiao Jie was speechless. You don't even have a backup plan to save your life? Coming to fight is too reckless.

He could understand the supreme emperor's thoughts; it was nothing more than seeking fortune in danger, and look—he'd encountered danger.

However, Xiao Jie couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

Immortal Technique - Wind Blade Flurry!
Dozens of enormous wind blades shot towards the black tentacles, slashing them repeatedly and snapping off more than a dozen tentacles in an instant, finally allowing the Supreme Emperor to break free.

The Supreme Emperor, with his intuitive senses, felt as if two Buddhas were being born and ascending to heaven. He dared not attack any further and quickly created distance.

"Take it easy, buddy."

Xiao Jie transmitted his voice.

The Supreme Emperor opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

Before he could even thank him, Lin Xuance's calm voice rang in his mind.

"I have a plan! Fellow Daoist Suifeng, Fellow Daoist Kaiyang—and this young Golden Dragon, the three of you, listen to my command and unleash your strongest fire skills to bombard the Demon Star's true form! When it uses its power to counterattack and change its form to resist, its internal structure will inevitably show a brief opening and become rigid! At that time, Fellow Daoist Wu and I will take its life!"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor was first taken aback, then overjoyed! He had finally been chosen by the immortals to participate in the plan, which meant that they recognized his strength.

Although he's just a 'young friend,' his contribution to the assist is undeniable.

As long as you can play a significant role in the BOSS battle, you'll have a chance to share the loot!
At this moment, Xiao Jie naturally received the telepathic message and immediately responded with his divine sense: "Understood!"

Without saying a word, he immediately activated the Golden Crow Dharma Form.

The five people circled the demon star, with Xiao Jie, Kaiyang Xingjun, and the Supreme Emperor each searching for the best angle to unleash their spells, while Lin Xuance and Wu Qingyue once again approached the demon star's true form.

As their figures intersected, Kaiyang Xingjun also noticed Xiao Jie.

"Huh? You actually became an immortal? You've got some skills!"

"Haha, you flatter me, senior. I owe my success today to your guidance back then." Xiao Jie thanked you sincerely. Although he had gone through many hardships and relied on his own efforts and the help of his companions, the guidance from Tianxuan Zhenren and Kaiyang Xingjun was undoubtedly the most crucial step in enabling him to embark on the journey of exploring the path of immortality.

Kaiyang Xingjun was quite easygoing. “Now that you have ascended to immortality, there is no need to call me senior anymore. We are both pursuing the Great Dao, so we can address each other as fellow Daoists.”

"Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony—Fellow Daoist Kaiyang, what are your thoughts on seeing your ex-girlfriend?"

"You kid..."

Just as the two were about to exchange pleasantries, Lin Xuance's voice rang out in everyone's ears, "Attention everyone, prepare—to attack!"
