584: Chapter 584 A Crisis Arises, Then a Comeback
Su Yuan was just about to brandish the shenluo spear.
A terrifying Star Consciousness impact struck; his body swayed slightly, and his mind fell into a brief trance.
Holding his breath and focusing his mind, Su Yuan stared intently at the projection in the distance.
The High-stage Star Suppression Realm projection's Star Consciousness power was far stronger than those of the initial and middle stages; no matter how strong his own mental power was, there was a limit to what he could endure.
The projection stood in place, continuously sending waves of Star Consciousness impacts toward Su Yuan.
His brows furrowed slightly; no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape the Star Consciousness power vibrating through his brain and even his entire body.
In that case, I'll just fight it head-on!
Making a quick decision, Su Yuan gripped the shenluo spear and charged at the projection, enduring the Star Consciousness impacts.
The projection showed a human-like confusion, not understanding why the human before it would risk mental damage to charge forward.
However, this confusion appeared for only an instant before vanishing into thin air.
The three Supreme Laws of Destruction, Life, and Time, along with over a dozen other Laws, all poured into the tip of the shenluo spear.
Su Yuan erupted with the full power of Imperial Second Style Perfection, releasing three terrifying streaks of spear light in succession.
Buzz!
The points of light from the Imperial Second Style Spear Light, compressed to the extreme, suddenly closed in on the projection, creating sharp sonic booms wherever they passed.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The three spears hit the projection head-on; the projection's Star Power Barrier could not withstand the thunderous bombardment.
Under the three spear strikes, the High-stage Star Suppression Realm projection turned into scattered fragments and ceased to exist.
Outside the Heavenly Star Tower, the faces of several students, including Murong Qiushui, froze.
“Three Supreme Laws.”
“Enduring the impact of Star Consciousness power head-on.”
“This Saint Yuan is truly extraordinary.”
Xia Chengxiong's mouth twitched slightly; defeating a High-stage Star Suppression Realm projection with three spears meant he could cross multiple Realms to eliminate a Star Suppressing Realm projection.
Although the Star Power levels of these projections were at the Star Energy Level, they were genuine High-stage Star Suppression Realm entities.
On the other side, Ning Zhewang also reached the eleventh floor of the Heavenly Star Tower.
With his current Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage cultivation, he shattered the High-stage Star Suppression Realm projection with two sword strikes.
After resolving the eleventh-floor projection, Ning Zhewang rushed to the next floor without stopping.
Startling Shadow had a short duration; Ning Zhewang had to climb to the highest level in the shortest possible time.
Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang entered the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Star Tower almost simultaneously.
As both sides stepped into the combat zone, a visible Star Consciousness impact rapidly surged forward.
The Star Consciousness power of a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection was far beyond that of a high-stage one.
His brain and body suffered a violent collision; Su Yuan nearly stumbled and lost his footing.
Ning Zhewang was doing better; he was three Realms higher than Su Yuan and could steady himself against this powerful Star Consciousness force.
Ning Zhewang took the lead in attacking the projection, holding his longsword and sparing no effort as he slashed out terrifying sword glows with all his might.
Standing in place, Su Yuan only felt his mind spinning, a strong sense of vertigo constantly surging in his heart.
Shaking his head vigorously, Su Yuan took a deep breath and concentrated his attention.
Gripping the shenluo spear, which had its grade improved, Su Yuan repeatedly unleashed the Imperial Second Style, bracing himself to battle the Peak Star Suppression Realm projection.
Watching this scene, Xia Chengxiong and Murong Qiushui both thought to themselves how crazy Student Su (Junior Brother Su) was.
He hadn't even formed Star Consciousness power yet, yet he was going head-to-head against the Star Consciousness power of a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection.
It was simply beyond ridiculous.
On the other side, Ning Zhewang was erupting with sword glows as if his life didn't matter, the world-splitting sharpness sweeping across the entire floor of the Heavenly Star Tower.
Five minutes passed, and Ning Zhewang suddenly exerted his strength, his longsword erupting with a brilliant and dazzling golden sword glow.
The sword glow illuminated the entire space; the Peak Star Suppression Realm projection was sliced in half and then dissipated.
Ning Zhewang entered the thirteenth floor of the Heavenly Star Tower first.
Lin Shuangyan and Wan Yongjun's expressions tightened; watching this, they thought things were looking bad.
Junior Brother Ning had defeated a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection; he himself was at the Peak Star Suppression Realm, the only differences being the Star Power level and combat experience.
Junior Brother Ning's distance from the Peak Star Realm was much closer than Junior Brother Su's.
When the time came to use a mental-type Martial Skill to reach the Peak Star Suppression Realm, Lin Shuangyan and the other asked themselves: could they beat Junior Brother Ning?
At the thought of this, Lin Shuangyan and the other felt uneasy all over.
Junior Brother Ning was coming from behind; this feeling was truly unpleasant.
Ning Zhewang entered the thirteenth floor of the Heavenly Star Tower; the Realm of the projection opposite him was the Star King Realm Initial Stage.
As soon as he stepped in, Ning Zhewang thought to himself that things were bad.
The Realm-boosting effect of Startling Shadow was about to disappear, and his Realm would drop immediately.
After exchanging only ten moves with the Star King Realm Initial Stage projection, Ning Zhewang's Realm plummeted, and he was knocked out of the Heavenly Star Tower by a single strike from the projection.
Standing outside the Heavenly Star Tower in a somewhat disheveled state, Ning Zhewang didn't feel it was a pity.
According to his normal strength, even if he were truly at the Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage, he wouldn't be able to beat an Star King Realm Initial Stage projection.
In those ten moves just now, every strike from the projection was something he simply couldn't withstand.
The power of the Star King Realm Initial Stage was too great to contend with.
Under the Star Power healing glow descending from the palace, Ning Zhewang slowly walked to the side of Murong Qiushui and the others, watching Su Yuan's battle on the light screen.
A second later, Ning Zhewang looked up at the ceiling.
“I didn't expect this glow to also have the effect of restoring mental power.”
Ning Zhewang smiled and carefully observed Su Yuan's battle under the healing glow.
Beside him, Lin Shuangyan and Wan Yongjun showed some wariness.
Back when they were at the Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage, they couldn't have defeated a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection like Junior Brother Ning just did.
Forget defeating a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection; being able to defeat a High-stage Star Suppression Realm projection was already difficult enough.
Exchanging a few moves with a Peak Star Suppression Realm projection would have been their limit.
Junior Brother Ning had broken into the thirteenth floor of the Heavenly Star Tower as an Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage; although he was defeated after staying there for only a moment, it proved his powerful ability to fight above his level.
Liu Gaoyan, Xue Yang, and even Murong Qiushui...
The three of them felt strange emotions in their hearts, comparing themselves to Junior Brother Ning when they were at the Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage.
After a moment, Liu Gaoyan and Xue Yang concluded that their ability to fight above their level was inferior to Junior Brother Ning's.
They were a year or two older than Lin Shuangyan and the other, and their talent potential was about the same, perhaps just a tiny bit better.
That tiny bit wasn't enough to take their ability to fight above their level a step further.
Murong Qiushui pondered for a short while, then showed a look of surprise.
“I could also defeat a Peak projection as an Star Suppressing Realm Initial Stage back then, but my speed wasn't as fast as Junior Brother Ning's.”
“I even won somewhat narrowly.”
“So, my ability to fight above my level isn't as strong as Junior Brother Ning's either.”
Thinking of this, Murong Qiushui was startled; she could understand Su Yuan's ability to fight above his level being strong.
He was first on the huigu three rankings, with potential exceeding Jiang Yu Ye's.
But for Ning Zhewang to also be stronger than her, Murong Qiushui was shocked.
Just what planet did Junior Brother Su and Junior Brother Ning come from? Each was more Heaven-Defying than the last.
After the surprise passed, everyone turned their eyes to the light screen on the left side of the Heavenly Star Tower; Su Yuan was still fighting.
Under the continuous Star Consciousness power attacks of the Peak Star Suppression Realm, Su Yuan's battle was extremely difficult.
Except for the final mental power of Startling Shadow which he hadn't released, he had already given his all.
However, the Peak Star Suppression Realm projection was consistently unable to defeat Su Yuan.
The reason was simple: his various recovery powers never stopped.
Relying on his recovery abilities and extreme willpower, Su Yuan stubbornly engaged in a grand battle with the Peak Star Suppression Realm projection.
If the projection had emotions, it probably would have become enraged by now.
In the battle so far, every time it seemed Su Yuan was about to lose, he would be full of vigor and charge again the next moment.
No normal person could stand this.
