487: Chapter 487 War Begins!

Dong!

Another bell tolled, and the noisy chatter finally quieted down.

Countless experts looked toward the void, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

At the same time, a figure appeared high in the sky; it was Demon Wood.

Demon Wood cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I won't waste words. The competition is about to begin. The location is a continent called the Xuanxing Continent. In the struggle for the source vein, life and death are up to fate."

"According to the rules, the leaders of the seven major forces may not participate in the competition. Everyone else may enter the continent to fight for opportunities."

"The source vein has been refined using Forbidden Arts into source qi, source crystal, Source Liquid, and source hearts... Whether you can obtain these opportunities depends on your own abilities."

"Of course, if any of you have grievances, you can also settle them inside..."

Saying this, Demon Wood's gaze fell upon the Star Pavilion and the Ni Yuan Tribe before looking away. "Next... enter the teleportation array."

A wooden cane appeared in his hand. Demon Wood tapped it lightly, and a massive formation array instantly appeared beneath his feet, while a powerful aura manifested in the void above.

Immediately after, a vortex appeared.

A space wormhole!

"Everyone... please!"

After a moment of silence, countless experts rushed toward the wormhole, their faces filled with excitement, like a swarm of locusts passing through!

The experts of the seven major forces were in the first wave, disappearing into the wormhole one after another.

Moments later, only the leaders of the seven major forces remained in the area.

"Ah, it would be wonderful if I could join as well," the Night Clan Patriarch said with a smile.

"Humph! If we were to take action, what would be left for those ants?" Shi Han, the Stone Clan Patriarch, said indifferently.

"Patriarch Shi is right. If we were to intervene, I'm afraid half the martial artists in the entire Star Realm would perish," the Ice Maiden said with a giggle.

The Scarlet God remained silent. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in a certain direction.

There, Fei Qianqiu was staring at him.

Scarlet Moon's eyelids twitched. "Fei Qianqiu, are you planning to make a move?"

Hearing this, the other leaders of the forces looked over.

Fei Qianqiu grinned. "And what if I am?"

The Scarlet God stared intently at him. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Fei Qianqiu suddenly walked slowly toward him. "The Ni Yuan Tribe has been courting death time and again. Do you really think I have a good temper?"

Seeing things were going south, Demon Wood spoke up, "Pavilion Master Fei, the competition is starting. We cannot have internal strife. Don't let other forces take advantage of the situation."

Fei Qianqiu glanced at him. "You lot just stay back. Scarlet and I have some things to discuss."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm.

A domain appeared in the area, instantly enveloping the Scarlet God, and both he and Fei Qianqiu vanished together!

Demon Wood's expression darkened.

"Should we make a move?" Shi Han asked in a low voice.

Demon Wood slowly shook his head. "No rush. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what? Fei Qianqiu is alone. With so many of us, wouldn't killing him be as easy as turning over a hand?" the Ice Maiden said coldly.

Demon Wood looked into the distance and said slowly, "No, Pavilion Master Fei still has a trump card. After all, that old fellow hasn't shown up yet."

The old fellow!

As if thinking of something, the expressions of the various leaders turned solemn.

The old fellow Demon Wood mentioned was naturally that Old Immortal from the Zhan Clan.

That old thing hadn't appeared for hundreds of years. No one knew just how powerful he was!

Somewhere in the starry sky, Fei Qianqiu didn't waste any breath and directly attacked the Scarlet God!

The latter's face was contorted. Although he had been caught off guard by Fei Qianqiu last time, that was due to his own carelessness!

This time, the Scarlet God used his full strength right from the start!

Roar!

A roar loud enough to shatter stars spread out. Behind the Scarlet God, a ten-thousand-foot tall phantom of a giant ape emerged, its aura sweeping in all directions like a terrifying storm!

At the same time, Fei Qianqiu struck out with a palm!

In the next second, the entire starry sky suddenly boiled as a giant hand that pierced through the void pressed down toward the Scarlet God!

This entire stretch of the starry sky was his domain!

The endless Power of the Starry Sky allowed Fei Qianqiu to remain at his peak state!

The Scarlet God's eyes were ferocious. With a low growl, the phantom crashed violently into the giant hand along with him!

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted, affecting the surrounding planets. Those planets simply couldn't withstand the collision of their powers and shattered instantly!

Planets exploded!

However, after the explosions, a mysterious force absorbed all the debris!

Amidst the collision, a figure was sent flying backward!

It was the Scarlet God.

Fei Qianqiu looked at him, his lips curling into a smirk. "What did you mean when you said it would be different?"

The Scarlet God was furious. He mobilized his terrifying power once more, and his aura surged abruptly!

He had one foot in the peak!

Fei Qianqiu's eyes narrowed. Then, he took a step forward and was already in front of the Scarlet God, pointing a finger!

This finger contained the Power of Rules from countless star systems!

The Scarlet God's pupils constricted as he sensed an intense aura of death!

Without hesitation, he hurriedly unleashed his strongest attack!

Buzz!

A hum representing dead silence rang out, and immense power poured forth. Within it, a blurry figure could be seen; one of its arms had already turned to ash!

The Scarlet God coughed up blood, instantly severely injured!

Fei Qianqiu shook his head. "Power gained through tricks is ultimately hollow."

The Scarlet God looked at him in shock. "You... what realm are you exactly in?"

He had one foot in the peak, yet he wasn't even worth a single exchange against Fei Qianqiu. Even if the opponent was at the Tenth Rank peak, it should be impossible to crush him so easily!

Fei Qianqiu looked at him indifferently. "You can't even see through my cultivation level. It seems the gap is quite significant."

The Scarlet God's mouth twitched, his composure completely shattered. "Damn it! Do you think you're invincible?"

Rip!

Space-time was torn open like a curtain, and a figure stepped out.

The Ice Maiden.

She stood beside the Scarlet God, her stance clear.

Fei Qianqiu glanced at her and said, "Only you came?"

"Hehe, am I not enough to serve you?" the Ice Maiden said with a smile.

Fei Qianqiu pointed at the Scarlet God. "I was just considering who to kill first. If you keep acting arrogant, I'll kill you!"

The Ice Maiden's eyes narrowed, a hint of solemnity appearing.

Even she couldn't see through Fei Qianqiu's current cultivation level.

However, to kill her opponent, she had to take action!

Demon Wood had sent her to test him. If Fei Qianqiu had no reinforcements, he would have to face a group assault from the five of them!

The Ice Maiden took a step forward. With her toes as the center, waves of chilling air spread continuously toward the surrounding starry sky. A moment later, the void was frozen solid!

The Ice Maiden said to the Scarlet God, "Let's attack together!"

The Scarlet God nodded and immediately repaired his severed arm.

Fei Qianqiu's lips curled up. "Fine then. I'll just kill both of you together!"

Boom!

The starry sky trembled, and the ice seal shattered!
