Chapter 287 - 162: Powerful, Celestial Punishment
Suddenly, a colossal Starlight Blade burst forth from the void. Like a vast, celestial river of stars, it tore through layer after layer of space, stretching across the entire sky before violently ripping the Blood Sea Divine Palm—a construct dozens of miles wide—completely apart!
BOOM!
After a world-shaking boom, the vast Starlight Blade shattered and annihilated the massive Blood Sea Divine Palm, then continued on with unstoppable Momentum, slashing toward Yan Hu in the air!
"Who?!"
Faced with this sudden, powerful strike, Yan Hu’s pupils constricted. The blade had sliced through his Blood Sea Divine Palm as cleanly and effortlessly as if cutting through tofu!
Below, the members of the Wang Family were overjoyed, their faces showing unconcealable delight. It was like a roller coaster ride; one moment they were at their lowest point, and the next they were soaring beyond the clouds.
"It’s... It’s that master!" someone exclaimed, their voice trembling with joy as they seemed to recognize Gu Yun’s aura.
In stark contrast to everyone else, Yan Hu’s expression was now incredibly grim. The vast, star-like Sword Qi before him seemed capable of slicing through any substance in the world. It advanced with unstoppable, overwhelming force, coming to strike him down with tyrannical might!!
WHOOSH!
Faced with such a tyrannical strike, Yan Hu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he snapped them open, a crimson light flashing within. His vast, sea-like True Yuan erupted completely. The surrounding space trembled violently, as if battered by a monstrous flood, and a colossal shockwave of energy swept out in all directions!
"Heaven-Devouring Red Moon Technique!"
Yan Hu swiftly formed a hand seal, his incredibly potent True Yuan erupting.
The next moment, the air swirled violently into a vortex. In a flash, a crimson full moon emerged from the terrifying maelstrom, hanging high in the sky. It emitted a dazzling radiance that covered every inch of the world!
The next moment, the massive blood moon crushed the air before it, advancing with unstoppable momentum. With vast might, it violently slammed into the ultimate Starlight Blade, which seemed like a manifestation of the cosmos itself!
"BANG!"
The instant the crimson moon collided with the Starlight Blade, a powerful explosion erupted. The surrounding space shattered like glass, revealing a pitch-black abyss so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Within it, a chaotic torrent of energy roared like a primordial beast!
The entire world rocked violently, like turbulent waves on a boundless ocean. Terrifying aftershocks blasted outwards. In an instant, sturdy walls shattered and pavilions collapsed below. The members of the Wang Family were sent flying by the blast, smashing into the ground and carving out several craters.
"This... This is just too powerful!" a black-shirted man from the Wang Family said as he struggled out of a crater. He stared at the sky, mouth agape and eyes filled with utter shock.
"For an expert like that, killing us would be easier than crushing ants!" The goatee-bearded elder climbed out of his crater and fiercely tugged his beard, his eyes wide with disbelief and his voice laced with terror.
"Yes, in the end, we’re just too weak..." Wang Zhen’an’s robes were in tatters, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He clenched his fist, his gaze fixed on the two clashing attacks in the sky, both of which were far beyond their own power.
High in the void, the crimson full moon and the incomparably sharp Starlight Blade were locked together, radiating a mingled light of starlight and blood that illuminated every corner of the landscape.
CRACK! CRACK!
The next moment, several sinister cracks appeared on the crimson moon. They spread rapidly, soon covering its entire surface like a spiderweb!
The next instant, "BOOM!!"
With a tremendous explosion, the blood moon was violently shattered by the supremely sharp Starlight Blade. Like a meteor from beyond the heavens, the blade then tore through the void, continuing on its path to execute Yan Hu!!
"This... How is this possible!" Yan Hu stared at the scene, his pupils dilated in shock. His expression was one of utter disbelief, and his voice held a trace of fear.
’This is a Profound Tier Top Grade Technique from the Red Moon Divine Palace! It’s so powerful that even a Half-Step Tongxuan master could clash with it, yet my opponent shattered it with such ease!!’
But there was no time for him to think. The Starlight Blade, seemingly descended from the heavens, was already right before his eyes.
In that instant, feeling the supremely sharp Sword Qi, Yan Hu felt death’s approach. His heart sank to rock bottom.
"Damn it!"
At this critical moment of life and death, a vertical eye suddenly appeared in the center of Yan Hu’s forehead. The eye was like the Eye of the Netherworld—profound and terrifying. A moment later, this third eye flickered with a shadowy light.
The next instant, Yan Hu moved like a phantom dragon, traversing space itself. He vanished from his spot and reappeared in the void a hundred miles away.
"BOOM!!"
The brilliant Starlight Blade shot through the space where Yan Hu had just been. It then slashed violently into the sky above, tearing open a rift over a hundred kilometers long. The endless, pitch-black abyss of the void was faintly visible within, from which a dark, astral wind escaped, striking terror into the hearts of all who witnessed it!
"Oh? He actually dodged it," a voice remarked, tinged with surprise.
Immediately after, the void rippled like the surface of a disturbed lake. A figure slowly emerged. He wore a white Profound Robe and had a handsome face with eyes as brilliant as the starry sky. His robes fluttered and his long hair danced in an unseen wind. As he stood there in the void, an invisible yet terrifying aura radiated from him, seeming to suppress the very heavens and earth.
"This... this... That’s no mere mortal!"
