Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 290 They are gathering strength

The leader of the Starfall Clan was agile and slightly larger than the other members. His dark golden feathers shimmered with a cold luster, his sharp beak was like a blade, and his narrow eyes revealed greed and ferocity.

Its wingspan was a full two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and the scales at the base of its wings emitted an eerie light in the darkness—that was the weak point Teng Lihui had mentioned.

"Hmph, you insignificant ants, how dare you obstruct our race!" The leader of the Starfall Clan let out a sharp, piercing cry, his voice filled with disdain. "This fragment of the spacetime nexus of the universe will belong to my Starfall Clan today!"

Gu Changzhou snorted coldly, brandishing his Mo Lin Sword, the power of stars flowing across its blade. "Wishful thinking! None of you will get past me today."

After saying that, Gu Changzhou took the lead and used the new move of the Starry Sky Sword Technique, "Seven Stars in a Row".

Seven dazzling star-shaped sword energies, like seven silver dragons, roared as they charged towards the leading Starfall Clan.

Seeing this, the Starfall Clan member flapped its wings, and dark golden flames instantly condensed into a solid wall of fire, attempting to block the sword energy attack.

At the same time, the other Starfall Clan members also launched their attacks.

A slightly smaller Starfall Clan member flapped its wings suddenly, sending countless dark golden feathers flying out like hidden weapons, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, as it attacked Liu Sijun and Gu Changzhou.

Liu Sijun waved the Time-Space Scepter, and the tip of the scepter emitted a soft light, forming a transparent barrier that blocked all the dark golden feathers.

"Little tricks."

"Liu Sijun said coldly, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Her Void Eyes shone brightly, instantly seeing through the movement of the Starfall Clan member.

Immediately afterwards, she gently waved the Time-Space Scepter and chanted, "Time-space distortion, trapped!"

In an instant, the spacetime around the Starfall Clan member suddenly distorted, and its body was forcibly pulled into a chaotic spacetime vortex, from which it could not escape for a moment.

Seeing its companion trapped, the leader of the Starfall Clan felt a surge of anger in its eyes. It roared to the sky, and the dark golden flames on its body suddenly surged several times over. Its entire body seemed to transform into a giant dark golden meteor, crashing towards Gu Changzhou.

Gu Changzhou felt the powerful impact and dared not be careless. He quickly activated his star power and condensed a star shield in front of him.

With a deafening roar, the Starfall Clan crashed into the Star Shield. The powerful impact forced Gu Changzhou to stagger back several steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

But the Star Shield remained sturdy, blocking the attacks of the Starfall Clan.

"Is this all you can do?"

Gu Changzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

With a swing of his Inkscale Sword, the power of the stars on the sword resonated with the surrounding spacetime, and a massive spacetime rift appeared above the Starfall Clan.

"Take this, Starry Sky Rift!"

Gu Changzhou shouted, and countless beams of starlight shot out from the space-time rift, like a dense rain of arrows, heading towards the Starfall Clan.

Seeing this, the Starfall Clan member hurriedly flapped its wings, attempting to reconstruct a barrier of flames.

However, Gu Changzhou's move "Starry Sky Rift" was extremely powerful. The starlight easily penetrated the flame barrier and hit the base of the Starfall Clan's wings.

"what!"

The Starfall Clan let out a painful scream. Shot at the base of its wing, its flight became unsteady, and dark golden feathers fluttered down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Sijun once again wielded the Space-Time Scepter, and the power of space-time gathered around the Starfall Clan, forming a golden cage that trapped it within.

“You Starfall Clan have committed numerous evils today, so you shall remain here.”

Liu Sijun's voice carried an undeniable authority.

The trapped Starfall Clan struggled, a hint of fear in their eyes, but they still said fiercely, "Don't be so smug! The Starfall Clan will not give up so easily. The universe will eventually be ours!"

Just then, on the distant battlefield, other members of the Starfall Clan, under the combined attack of everyone, gradually could not hold on and fell one after another.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the battle against the Starfall Clan is gradually drawing to a close.

Just when everyone thought victory was assured, the trapped leader of the Starfall Clan suddenly let out a sharp and long cry, the sound like a sharp thread cutting through the noise of the battlefield.

This sound seemed to be a special signal, instantly bringing about a new change in the already declining Starfall Clan.

Those Starfall Clan members who had not yet been completely defeated all withdrew their dark golden flames, and their previously flamboyant aura instantly subsided.

Their eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and as their wings fluttered gently, ripples began to spread across the surrounding space, like pebbles being thrown into water.

"Oh no, they're gathering their strength!"

Liu Sijun frowned, his Eye of the Void operating at full power, trying to see through the Starfall Clan's intentions.

Suddenly, a Starfall Clan member opened its sharp beak and spat out a jet-black beam of light.

This beam of light was no ordinary attack; it contained a powerful corrosive force. Wherever it passed, the air turned black, and space itself became subtly distorted.

The beam of light shot towards Tong Lei's golden roc phantom. Sensing the danger, the golden roc phantom quickly spread its wings to dodge, but the beam of light still grazed its wings, and its feathers instantly turned to ashes. The golden roc let out a painful cry.

"This is the Starfall Clan's Corrosive Black Light, which can corrode all matter and energy!"

Liu Sijun loudly reminded everyone, while waving the Time-Space Scepter to set up a time-space barrier around the Golden Roc phantom to resist the erosion of the Corrosive Black Light.

At the same time, several more Starfall Clan members flapped their wings, and a layer of dark golden runes appeared around their bodies.

These runes intertwined, forming a massive array. As the array took shape, countless dark golden rays of light suddenly rained down from the sky, crashing down on the crowd like a meteor shower.

Palace Master Ji He shouted, and the Taixu Spirit Vein Sword shone brightly as he unleashed "Taixu Spirit Vein - Heavenly Guardian Star Protection".

A massive starlight curtain rose up, enveloping everyone and blocking the rain of dark golden light.

However, the light curtain flickered under the impact of these rays of light, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"These guys have so many tricks up their sleeves; it seems we can't underestimate them!"

Gu Changzhou gritted his teeth, and the star power of the Ink Scale Sword in his hand surged even more fiercely. The trapped Starfall Clan member's eyes flashed with a sinister light, its body began to tremble violently, and the dark golden flames on its body burned again, even more intensely than before.

Ignoring its injuries, it violently crashed into the golden cage set up by Liu Sijun.

With each impact, the cage shook violently, and Liu Sijun could feel the spacetime power that was maintaining the cage being rapidly depleted.
