133: Chapter 133 Sword Slashes Stars

Bei Chenyao watched the tearing golden light screen, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"The power of laws is indeed strong, but Su Bai's world is only at the Sixth Order. Sixth-Order law power cannot withstand the full-force attack of a peak Sixth-Order Star God."

He raised his hand, preparing to order the entire army to charge.

But before his hand could drop, a greyish-white figure appeared at the rift in the golden light screen.

The Ghost King.

Peak Sixth Order.

The Ghost King hovered before the golden light screen, his golden vertical pupils staring at Tan Lang like a monarch scrutinizing a usurper.

"Your opponent is me."

The ghost king sword was unsheathed.

The faint blue light on the blade intertwined with the greyish-white Yin Qi, appearing exceptionally eerie under the starlight.

Tan Lang looked at the greyish-white figure and felt a pressure coming from the depths of his soul. His star power seemed to lose its luster before the Ghost King.

But he did not retreat.

"Tianshu Star God Tan Lang never retreats."

He raised his longsword and slashed at the Ghost King.

The Ghost King did not dodge.

He simply raised the ghost king sword and parried lightly.

BOOM!!!

Tan Lang's longsword crashed against the ghost king sword, erupting in a deafening roar. Silver-white starlight collided with greyish-white Yin Qi, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Tan Lang felt his soul trembling. It wasn't a physical trembling, but a spiritual one. The Yellow Spring power contained within the ghost king sword was eroding his soul.

He abruptly withdrew his longsword and retreated several steps.

"You... your sword can slash the soul?"

The Ghost King did not answer.

He simply raised the ghost king sword, the faint blue light on the blade condensing into a massive vortex.

"On the Yellow Spring Road, there is no return."

Nether Slash.

The ghost king sword slashed down.

Tan Lang exerted all his strength to raise his longsword in a block.

BOOM!!!

His body was sent flying backwards, smashing through three satellites of the Star World before he barely managed to stop. A deep, bone-deep wound appeared on his body, and silver-white starlight gushed from the wound, turning into a sky full of light specks.

His aura plummeted from the peak of the Sixth Order to the high stage of the Sixth Order.

Tan Lang struggled to stand up, his deep blue eyes filled with disbelief.

"One strike... one strike slashed me into this state?"

The Ghost King hovered before the boundary of the Netherworld World, his golden vertical pupils looking at him coldly.

"The next strike will take your head."

Tan Lang's pupils contracted sharply.

Standing in the starry sky, Bei Chenyao watched Tan Lang being sent flying by the Ghost King's single strike, and his expression finally changed.

"Ghost King... peak Sixth Order, but the power of that strike was already close to the Seventh Order."

His voice remained calm, but his fingers were trembling slightly.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and began to re-evaluate Su Bai's strength.

"Tan Lang, retreat. Tianxuan, take over."

Tianxuan Star God Ju Men stepped out from the starry sky. He was the protector of the Star World, controlling the star power of the Tianxuan Star; his defense was like a mountain, and his toughness was like iron.

His physique was even more burly than Tan Lang's, standing a thousand feet tall, covered in silver-white star battle armor engraved with defensive runes. In his hand, he held a massive star shield, its surface embedded with seven fragments of the Tianxuan Star, each fragment emitting a piercing light.

Ju Men walked in front of Tan Lang, raising his star shield to block the Ghost King.

"Tianshu, you go to the rear to heal. Leave this ghost creature to me."

Tan Lang nodded, clutching his wound as he retreated to the rear.

Ju Men looked at the Ghost King, his deep blue eyes filled with battle intent.

"Ghost King, your sword can slash souls, but it cannot slash the stars."

He raised his star shield and took a step forward. With every step he took, the ground of the Star World trembled, and new stars were born in the starry sky.

The Ghost King looked at the massive shield, his golden vertical pupils devoid of any expression.

He simply raised the ghost king sword and slashed down again.

Nether Slash.

The ghost king sword struck the star shield, erupting in a deafening roar. Greyish-white Yin Qi collided with silver-white starlight, and the shockwave sent all the surrounding star spirits flying.

A deep sword mark appeared on the star shield. But the shield did not shatter, and Ju Men did not retreat.

Ju Men grinned.

"A good sword. But it's not enough."

He suddenly shoved the shield forward, and a piercing starlight erupted from it, knocking the Ghost King back dozens of feet.

The Ghost King steadied himself, his golden vertical pupils narrowing slightly as he looked at the shield.

"A hard shield."

He withdrew the ghost king sword and did not continue to attack. Because his mission was not to defeat Ju Men, but to hold down the main force of the Star World.

Behind him, the Ten Great Yin Marshals of the Netherworld World were all in position.

Su Bai stood at the world core, looking down at the entire battlefield, his greyish-white eyes as calm as water.

In his mind, he was simultaneously calculating the situation on nine battle lines.

The Ghost King was holding down the two strongest combatants of the Star World, Tan Lang and Ju Men. But the Star World still had seven Star Gods and six million star spirits.

He needed more power.

"Black and White Impermanence."

"Present."

White Impermanence's smile was as gentle as ever, while Black Impermanence's face remained fierce. The two figures hovered before Ghost Gate Pass, their funeral staff and soul-locking chain shimmering with an eerie light amidst the Yin Qi.

"You take the Shadow Demon race and the Mushroom People to flank them. Target: the priest corps and auxiliary units of the Star World."

White Impermanence smiled.

"Understood."

Black Impermanence said nothing, merely tightening his grip on the soul-locking chain.

The two figures vanished from their spots, and in the next second, they appeared on the flank of the Star World.

Eight hundred thousand Shadow Demons and five hundred thousand Mushroom People followed closely behind. The Shadow Demons' Space Folding allowed them to shuttle freely through the starry sky, while the Mushroom People's Spore Domain continued to spread tenaciously under the starlight.

White Impermanence hovered above the flank of the Star World, looking at the praying Star Spirit Priests, his smile still gentle.

"So many stars," he said softly. "Unfortunately, no matter how bright the stars are, they cannot illuminate the Yellow Spring Road."

He raised his funeral staff and gave it a light wave.

[Smiling Soul-Hooking]

His smile spread through the starry sky, propagating in all directions like ripples. When those Star Spirit Priests saw his smile, their steps began to slow, their consciousness blurred, and their bodies stiffened.

The funeral staff fell, and souls were drawn away.

One Star Spirit Priest fell, then ten, then a hundred.

Black Impermanence slipped in from the other side, his soul-locking chain sweeping through the Star Spirit Priests. Each time the chain entangled a Star Spirit Priest, their soul would be forcibly wrenched from their body and dragged into the depths of the chain.

The formation of the Star Spirit Priests began to fall into chaos.

But the Star World was not without defenses.

The Bixing Star God, Yin Yuan, moved.
