196: On par with the Supreme! Kill the Quasi-Emperor with one thought!
It’s no wonder Ye Xuan had boasted earlier, saying that he would not only help Star Shadow become a Star Lord but also destroy the Blood God Clan.
Before, they hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking it was just wild talk to please their Young Miss.
The God Race is incredibly powerful; how could a Prodigy defeat them? Not even a Great Emperor could say such a thing.
But now, such a young Supreme.
This was simply unprecedented; even though their Star God Clan had dominated for hundreds of thousands of years, a Supreme this young had never appeared.
Moreover, this Supreme seemed to have been only at the Great Saint Peak on the saint ranking just a few days ago.
If this power wasn't him hiding his strength when he fought against a Quasi-Emperor before,
Then it means he had another Breakthrough recently.
But no matter what, this time, their lineage can finally retain the position of Star Lord.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In just a moment, the killing Formation, under the impact of Ye Xuan’s power, completely collapsed, unable to withstand it.
“Pfft!”
After the Formation was broken, the person controlling the killing Formation felt a sweetness in his throat and directly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This person’s aura instantly withered, clearly suffering a backlash from the Formation.
“Not good, the information we received was wrong! There’s a Supreme among them! Retreat quickly!”
The young Quasi-Emperor had originally intended to appear and kill them immediately after the killing Formation had eliminated Star Shadow and her group.
But what he didn't expect was that he would sense the power of a Supreme among Star Shadow’s group.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but panic, and he immediately tore through space at the fastest possible speed to escape.
What a joke! His opponent was a Supreme; they could crush him with just a pinky finger.
If he didn't run, was he waiting to die?
“Sir, wait for us.”
These people who were prepared to intercept them were not fools; they wouldn’t stay here after sensing the power of a Supreme.
Seeing their Sir begin to flee, they each used their Divine Ability, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, preparing to escape.
The Quasi-Emperor’s escape speed was quite fast; in just a moment, he had already crossed three State Domains.
“Trying to run!”
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow; his Divine Thought extended, naturally knowing they were all fleeing.
He smiled helplessly; these people always thought they could escape, but they didn’t know that in Ye Xuan’s eyes, they were just ants.
Their fate was sealed the moment they made their move.
If it were before, when Ye Xuan was still at the Great Saint Peak, he might have been helpless against this fleeing Quasi-Emperor, but now he had achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor.
He could rival a Supreme; with a single thought, he could slay a Quasi-Emperor.
So, in just an instant, a Divine Thought directly traversed countless State Domains and appeared before the Quasi-Emperor.
“What’s going on?”
The Quasi-Emperor only felt a white light flash in his eyes, and then he saw Ye Xuan’s appearance, like an immortal banished from heaven.
And then there was no “then,” because he saw his head separate from his body, and then his body was destroyed, followed by even his Primordial Spirit, which was completely annihilated by Ye Xuan.
As for his subordinates who had followed him, they had already vanished into thin air.
“One… just one move, and he eliminated a Quasi-Emperor!!!!”
Star Shadow watched this scene, utterly astonished.
She had thought that even if Ye Xuan could win, it would at least take a few moves, after all, the opponent was a Quasi-Emperor.
But what she didn’t expect was that she hadn’t even seen the Quasi-Emperor’s face before the Quasi-Emperor was already dead and his Dao gone.
This Ye Xuan was truly too much of a Prodigy, so much so that Star Shadow didn’t know how to describe Ye Xuan anymore.
“This... this...”
The powerhouses following Star Shadow were all speechless, unable to utter a complete sentence.
They looked at Ye Xuan in shock, then at the place where the Quasi-Emperor had been annihilated, and couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Such power, perhaps in the Star God Clan’s grand competition, would only require a single thought to eliminate all the Saints and Saintesses of the other five lineages.
This was simply too exaggerated.
And, it was truly quite disheartening.
“These people were sent by your opponents. That Quasi-Emperor was named Jiao Su. Do you know which lineage he belongs to?”
Ye Xuan turned to look at Star Shadow, whose expression was somewhat complex, and asked.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s question, Star Shadow finally came back to her senses, suppressing the shock in her heart, and slowly said, “Besides the direct descendants of the Star God Clan who possess the Star God Body, there are also some collateral branches.”
“These collateral branches are named after constellations and belong to the affiliated forces of the six lineages. Among them, the Three Enclosures are direct forces of the Star Lord, divided into Ziwei Palace, Taiwei Palace, and Tianshi Palace.”
“And the constellations under the remaining six lineages are the Azure Dragon of the East, Black Tortoise of the North, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, Ji Yuan Nine Luminaries, and Taiyin Sun.”
“Among them, Ji Yuan Nine Luminaries belong to the constellations of my lineage, but because our lineage’s influence has shrunk, there aren’t many strong individuals left.”
“And the one controlling the Azure Dragon of the East is the most powerful lineage currently. Jiao Su is a star within the Azure Dragon of the East, so it seems Star Sand made a move against me.”
Upon hearing the name of this star, Star Shadow instantly understood everything.
Her expression was quite grim, as she had originally thought the most dangerous time would be on the day of the grand competition.
But she didn’t expect that these people would start using such underhanded methods against her even before that.
And they even sent a Quasi-Emperor to kill her. If Ye Xuan hadn’t been here today, she would have truly been in grave danger.
At that time, their lineage would truly have no chance of recovery.
These people were truly too ruthless.
“No need to be angry. For now, just remember their names. When the grand competition arrives, we’ll settle the scores one by one.”
Ye Xuan looked at Star Shadow’s expression and knew this was an internal struggle.
There was no other way; the position of Star Lord held immense power, capable of controlling the entire Star God Clan, a race with such overwhelming authority.
Enjoying the resources of the entire Star God Clan, such a temptation was hard for many to resist.
So, if one could become a Star Lord, let alone merely sending people to kill a few of their own kin, they might even be willing to harm their true blood relatives.
After all, the struggle within the Hengyu Imperial Court was already incredibly brutal; the struggle within the Star God Clan, which was even more powerful than the Hengyu Imperial Court, would inevitably be even more brutal.
“You’re right, I was overthinking it. I will certainly make them pay the price.”
A hint of killing intent flashed in Star Shadow’s eyes.
“Ye Xuan, let’s go, we need to hurry back. Since they could send people to kill me on the road, they must have some other tricks up their sleeves. Let’s go quickly.”
