309: Chapter 309 He doesn't understand! Special effects rely on emotional value!

"Su Changge! You didn't expect this, did you!"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing's voice was filled with smugness and madness. Clutching the Formation Plate that had already crumbled into powder, he took a few steps back and stood on the steps at the entrance of the secret chamber.

Almost instantly, countless silver star runes emerged from the floor, walls, and ceiling. They were densely packed like a giant spider web, enveloping the entire space at the entrance of the secret chamber.

The air froze instantly. The Star Power, which had been incredibly dense, vanished completely in an instant, and not even a trace of Spiritual Qi could be sensed.

Blood Bone Old Demon was startled and hurriedly retreated a few steps. Seeing the surrounding silver star runes, his expression changed drastically.

"Dao Monarch Yun Xing! Are you crazy? Is this the Star Realm Cage? You actually dared to set up a Star Realm Cage here? What do you want to do?"

The Star Realm Cage was a top-tier restrictive Formation of the ancient Star Cultivator lineage. Even a Cultivator at the Mahayana Stage trapped inside would be cut off from Spiritual Qi, unable to use any Divine Ability, and left at the mercy of others.

To think Dao Monarch Yun Xing had secretly set up such a Formation in the City Lord's Mansion? What was he planning?

"What do I want to do?"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing burst into loud laughter, reaching out to stroke the star runes beside him, his expression extremely twisted.

"I'm going to seize the Shattering Star Art, of course! Otherwise, did you really think I was willing to be a dog for this fraud?"

"You're insane! That is a Senior! An existence who can obliterate you in a single move! You dare to act against him?"

Blood Bone Old Demon stared wide-eyed at Dao Monarch Yun Xing as if looking at a fool.

Just moments ago, Su Changge had broken the Ten Thousand Stars Returning to One Formation with a single finger and stabilized the spatial rift with ease. With that level of strength, wouldn't crushing Dao Monarch Yun Xing be no harder than crushing an ant? He actually dared to rebel?

"Senior? What Senior?"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing sneered, pointing at Su Changge with a face full of disdain.

"If he were truly a Saint with heaven-defying power, how could he possibly bring two pieces of trash like you in here to look for a Legacy? If he were really a Saint, a single sweep of his Divine Sense would make all the treasures in the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins fly straight to him!"

"I've been observing him for a long time. Every time he uses a Divine Ability, he consumes a significant amount of Origin power. After stabilizing the spatial rift just now, he must be completely spent! Now that he's cut off from Spiritual Qi by my Star Realm Cage, I'd like to see how he uses any Divine Ability!"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing became more smug as he spoke, his wild laughter almost overflowing.

He had been lying low in the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins for a hundred thousand years just for the Shattering Star Art. Now that the opportunity was right before him, how could he miss it?

Su Changge stood in the center of the Star Realm Cage, looking at the frenzied Dao Monarch Yun Xing before him. His face showed no expression, but he was laughing his head off inside.

[Damn, is this schemer out of his mind? Since when did I need to consume Origin power to use a Divine Ability? I rely on emotion points for my special effects, not Spiritual Qi.]

[Cut off the Spiritual Qi? I'm just a Qi Refining First Layer scrub; I didn't have much Spiritual Qi to begin with. What damn difference does cutting it off make to me?]

Su Changge crossed his arms and stood in place, leisurely watching Dao Monarch Yun Xing to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.

Seeing Su Changge remain silent, Dao Monarch Yun Xing thought he had exposed his true colors and that he was too scared to speak, making him even more smug.

"What? Silent now? You're scared because I've exposed you?"

"I'm telling you, Su Changge, you can fool others, but you can't fool me! You're just a swindling fraud! All that stuff about being a Saint and the Great Dao Breathing is just nonsense you made up to deceive people!"

"Now that you're trapped in my Star Realm Cage without Spiritual Qi, let's see how you keep up your act!"

As Dao Monarch Yun Xing spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to slap Su Changge across the face.

"Kneel! Hand over all the treasures on you! Then obediently yield the Shattering Star Art Legacy to me! I might still leave your corpse intact! Otherwise, I'll extinguish your Divine Soul, and you'll never be reincarnated!"

Blood Bone Old Demon stood at the edge of the Star Realm Cage, watching Dao Monarch Yun Xing's movements. His eyes darted around as he calculated rapidly in his mind.

In this situation, whether Su Changge was a true Saint or a fake fraud, Dao Monarch Yun Xing had a high chance of winning since he had set up the Star Realm Cage.

But once Dao Monarch Yun Xing obtained the Shattering Star Art, he certainly wouldn't let him go.

It would be better to stay still for now and wait until they were both wounded. Then he could strike, reap the rewards, and seize both the Shattering Star Art and the Star Core!

Having made up his mind, Blood Bone Old Demon stood by silently, pretending to be invisible.

Standing beside Su Changge, Commander Zhao saw that Dao Monarch Yun Xing actually dared to strike Su Changge. His face flushed with anger, and he raised his hand to slash at Dao Monarch Yun Xing.

"Presumptuous! You dare to strike the Saint? You're looking for death!"

But as soon as his hand was raised, it was repelled by the power of the Star Realm Cage. His entire arm went numb, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Commander Zhao's expression changed drastically. He was a Star Cultivator whose power came from Star Power. Now that the Star Realm Cage had cut off all Star Power, he couldn't even exert a tenth of his strength.

"It's useless. Inside my Star Realm Cage, the power of all Star Cultivators is suppressed. Even if you are a war gods personal guard, it's no use."

Dao Monarch Yun Xing sneered, completely disregarding Commander Zhao. His palm was now less than an inch from Su Changge's face; he could even feel the warmth of Su Changge's breath.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing's expression became even more twisted. He could already imagine Su Changge being slapped, then kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Today, I'm going to expose your true colors as a fraud in front of everyone! I want to see what kind of ability you, this so-called Saint, actually have!"

Watching this, Blood Bone Old Demon also had a cold sneer on his lips. He quietly put his hands behind his back and began to secretly activate the Blood Bone Great Array he had buried underground.

No matter who won, he would deliver a fatal blow to them afterward. All the treasures had to be his!
