"Shh!"
The Star River Blade unleashed a blood-red blade of light. Star was completely unprepared, his chest wide open, clearly intending to exchange injuries with Azure Scale!
"madman!"
The Azure Scale Venerable's heart pounded wildly, but there was no turning back now.
He gritted his teeth and roared, slashing out with his twin swords in a cross shape. The three of them collided violently in the void!
"I'm not afraid of you!"
"Clang! Pfft!"
The sounds of metal clashing and flesh tearing rang out simultaneously.
The Star River Blade slashed into Qinglin's left shoulder, almost severing his entire arm; while Qinglin's twin blades also slashed fiercely at Xingchen's chest, but were blocked by the Starry Sky Armor.
However, the damage was also transferred to Starfall after being weakened by the armor!
"That's it?"
Xingchen grinned maliciously and took a step forward, bracing himself against the twin blades. The armor emitted a piercing metallic creak, but he paid it no heed, his left hand forming a claw as he slashed directly at Qinglin's abdomen!
"Tear--"
Five fingers pierced the Azure Scale Divine Body like sharp blades, grabbing a thick piece of flesh and tearing it apart fiercely!
"what!!"
Qinglin let out a shrill scream, his divine blood gushing out like a waterfall. He frantically swung his blade at Xingchen's neck, but the blade was firmly blocked by the Wings of Dark Universe just three inches from the skin.
"too slow."
Xingchen's right leg swept across like a battle axe, and his heavy-duty combat boots slammed into Qinglin's knee. With a crisp "crack," Qinglin's right leg twisted grotesquely.
But this demon lord was also a ruthless character. He used the force of the kick to spin his body, and the poison needle at his tail pierced Xingchen's brow like lightning!
"Ding!"
The poison needle was blocked by the Star River Blade at the last moment, and Xingchen seized the opportunity to deliver a powerful headbutt to Qinglin's face. Two of the six compound eyes burst open, and viscous fluid splattered all over the two of them.
"happy!""
Xingchen laughed wildly as he stabbed Qinglin in the abdomen with his backhand, twisting the blade and churning it wildly inside the opponent's body!
The two clashed and fought like wild beasts in the void, each collision sending up plumes of divine blood. The surrounding starry sky was stained with an eerie mix of blue and red.
The Azure Nether Venerable was horrified by what he saw.
This is hardly a duel between revered beings; it's clearly a life-or-death struggle between two primordial beasts!
"Hahaha! Come again!"
The stars grew increasingly ferocious with each battle!
"You...you're a madman!!"
Qinglin coughed up blood. He had never seen such a crazy opponent before—who, despite having an absolute advantage, insisted on choosing the most brutal way to fight.
"Didn't you want to exchange your life for it?"
Xingchen grinned maliciously as he crushed Qinglin's arm, then pressed his bloodied hand against Qinglin's face.
"I'll stay with you until the end!"
"boom!"
A blinding starlight suddenly erupted from his palm, and the "starburst" at point-blank range blew half of Qinglin's head to pieces!
"ah!!""
Qinglin went completely mad. His damaged divine body suddenly swelled up, and all his scales stood on end—he was about to self-destruct!
"Come on, let's die together!"
Chapter 131 The Golden Scale Venerable
Instead of retreating, Xingchen advanced, its arms locking Qinglin in place like iron clamps. The Dark Universe Wings completely closed, enveloping the two into a pitch-black sphere.
"Die together? Do you even deserve it?"
He grinned maliciously in Qinglin's ear, and the entrance to the miniature universe within his body quietly opened on the inside of his wings.
"boom----"
Amidst a deafening explosion, the dark sphere was shattered into pieces. But as the light faded, the silhouette of the star emerged intact.
The Wings of Dark Universe slowly unfolded, revealing the charred remains inside—most of the power of the Azure Scale Venerable's self-destruction had been channeled into a miniature universe!
"Cough...that's powerful!"
Xingchen spat out a mouthful of saliva, his divine body damage fixed at 48%. He looked down at the deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his chest and actually revealed a satisfied smile. The next moment, his injury was healed.
Xingchen casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with a gentle shake of the Dark Universe Wings, the charred surface returned to normal. He glanced at Qingming, who was on guard in the distance, and a smile curved his lips.
"Walk."
The Azure Nether Venerable nodded, and the two of them flashed, instantly tearing through space and disappearing from sight.
In a desolate star field, space suddenly rippled. The figure of Xingchen slowly emerged, and with a flick of his hand, the Illusion Core flew out.
"Make the arrangements."
He flicked his fingertip, and the crystal core floated in the void, emitting an alluring energy fluctuation. This fluctuation was enough to attract the attention of any Venerable within a million light-years.
The Azure Nether Venerable understood; his movements were practiced, after all, this was the second time.
"Master, who will this time attract?"
Qingming asked in a low voice.
Xingchen closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I don't know, let's leave it to fate. As long as it's not from the human side, it's fine."
Half a day later.
A golden streak of light pierced the starry sky, moving so fast that it created subtle ripples in the space it passed through.
"This fluctuation."
A great treasure has been discovered!
His divine sense spread like a tide. This star field was desolate and silent, and apart from a few lifeless planets, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Strange, why is there a sudden surge of powerful energy?"
A hint of doubt arose in Venerable Golden Scales' heart, but it was quickly overwhelmed by greed. He gently swayed his enormous snake tail and swiftly swam towards the source of the fluctuations.
As he drew closer, he saw the Illusionary Heart Core floating in the void. The crystal core emitted a mesmerizing seven-colored light, and its surface was covered with mysterious runes.
"This... could it be a soul-type treasure?!"
Venerable Golden Scales paused in his breathing.
The value of this kind of treasure is incomparable to that of other types of treasures!
"Hahaha, God help me!"
He laughed loudly, his massive body accelerating towards the Illusion Core. But just as he was about to touch the core, a deadly sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart!
"not good!"
Venerable Golden Scale reacted extremely quickly, instantly twisting his body in an attempt to retreat.
Click!
Space blockade!
"not good!"
Venerable Golden Scales felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and his golden vertical pupils abruptly contracted into thin slits. He felt the surrounding space suddenly solidify, as if it were bound by invisible shackles.
"Spatial blockade? An ambush!"
His scales instantly bristled, and his divine power surged wildly within him as he attempted to forcibly tear through space and escape. As a peak High-Level Venerable, he was confident he could break through the spatial barrier in an instant, but those lying in ambush would likely not be watching as he did so.
However, he had already made up his mind: he would sacrifice his divine power and forcefully take action!
However, just as he was about to unleash his divine power, his eyes locked onto two figures that appeared in the void.
"Is it you?"
His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Venerable Golden Scales almost burst out laughing.
"Who do we have here? It turns out to be those two people in the treasure vault who dare not make a move."
His massive body slowly stretched out, his scales reattached, and the wariness in his eyes transformed into undisguised contempt.
How dare a mere High-Ranking Venerable and a Middle-Ranking Venerable plot against me?
"how?"
"It was a joke from Venerable Golden Scales," he said.
"Couldn't find any treasures in the vault, so now you've turned to robbery?"
Xingchen frowned slightly. He had originally planned to catch some ordinary Venerables, but he hadn't expected to attract such a big fish.
“Venerable Golden Scales is joking.”
Xingchen sheathed his sword, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"We were just looking for treasure here, we didn't expect you to be attracted here as well."
"Treasure hunt?"
Venerable Golden Scales sneered, his enormous snake tail swaying gently as he coiled the Illusionary Heart Core in front of him.
"Then I will gladly accept this precious treasure."
Even so, a question arose in his mind: Why would these two show themselves knowing they were no match for them? Could they have some kind of trump card?
The Azure Nether Venerable's grip on his sword tightened slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "Master, shall we make a move?"
He is now equipped with top-tier treasures and is confident that he can defeat Venerable Golden Scale.
Xingchen's eyes flickered as she quickly weighed the pros and cons.
