376: Chapter 376 Seven Constellations Battle Seven Demons

Great Dragon and Second Dragon's movements halted, suppressed by Zhou Yan's Aura.

They looked up. A hundred zhang away, Zhou Yan stood with his arms crossed. Not even a ripple of magical power emanated from his body; he was simply watching quietly.

The next instant, starlight ignited behind him.

Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul.

A dark cyan light descended from the void, transforming into a phantom with a humanoid form and a serpent's head. Wielding dual blades, its feet not touching the ground, it swept forward, leaving ripples of starlight in its wake.

It went straight for Great Dragon, its crossed blades slashing towards the side of his neck. Great Dragon barely managed to dodge sideways. Dragon scales grated against the blades, spraying a shower of dark blue sparks, and his body was forced back dozens of zhang.

Kang Jin Long.

A golden dragon shadow roared forth, but instead of charging at Second Dragon, it coiled into a circle, trapping the Fox Spirit who was secretly forming hand seals within it.

It raised a foreclaw, solidifying golden light, and swiped down. The Fox Spirit hastily spat out a pink pearl to block. The pearl withstood the blow, but she herself was still sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Di Tu Hao.

A sturdy, earth-yellow phantom emerged from the ground, blocking the path of the wild boar demon charging recklessly forward.

Spines shot from the boar demon's back like a torrential rain. Di Tu Hao merely raised its arms, starlight congealing into a thick wall before it. All the spines embedded themselves into the wall, unable to advance an inch.

The next instant, the starlight wall exploded, flipping the boar demon over.

Room Sun Rabbit.

A crimson figure, swift as a flowing light, flickered continuously around the long-horned Yao Race member.

The long-horned Yao Race member was only at the Core Formation Stage, so he was easily handled by Room Sun Rabbit, completely unable to fight back. He roared, brandishing the steel trident in his hand, but only struck afterimages.

Heart Moon Fox.

A silver-white fox phantom silently appeared behind the octopus demon. Its five tails spread out like five chains, entangling five of its tentacles and yanking fiercely.

The octopus demon let out a sharp screech, its remaining tentacles flailing wildly, but striking only empty air. Heart Moon Fox had already drifted back, flinging it towards the direction of Tail Fire Tiger.

Tail Fire Tiger.

A giant tiger blazing with flames had long been waiting there. Seeing the octopus demon flying towards it, it opened its maw and released a crimson pillar of fire, striking the demon squarely.

The octopus demon, charred black all over, crashed heavily to the ground.

She Tail Tiger Constellation Beast.

A blue leopard shadow pounced down from the starry sky, heading straight for the rat demon attempting to burrow into the earth.

But the rat demon discovered the floor tiles were surprisingly hard; his earth escape technique was utterly useless. Thus, the She Tail Tiger Constellation Beast's claw seized its hind leg, flinging it directly into the air.

Second Dragon finally managed to partially break free from the dragon might suppression and wanted to rush over to assist, but Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul, finding an opening, turned back and forced him back with a single blade slash.

He could only watch helplessly as the rat demon was tossed towards the direction of Jing Mu An.

Jing Mu An.

The phantom of the upright-standing An beast had long since spread its arms, starlight gathering into a vortex across its body.

The rat demon fell into it. The vortex suddenly contracted, firmly imprisoning it, rendering it immobile.

Seven figures, seven positions.

The projections of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions each took their stance. Starlight flowed between them, faintly forming a grand Formation.

Great Dragon and Second Dragon were isolated outside the Formation, forced to watch as the five Yao Race members inside fought independently.

The Fox Spirit attempted to use a charm technique but didn't know who to target.

The long-horned Yao Race member wanted to rally everyone to break out together, but found the octopus demon already severely injured, the rat demon subdued, and the boar demon being chased and beaten by Di Tu Hao.

Outside the Formation, Zhou Yan still stood with his arms crossed.

He hadn't even lifted an eyelid, merely watching quietly as the seven beams of starlight wove, cut, and encircled on the flat ground.

Great Dragon roared, forcibly activating his Bloodline, wanting to charge the Formation.

But that dragon might pressed down like a physical weight. The magical power within his body stalled once more. Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul had already turned back to block his path, crossed blades pinning him in place.

Inside the Formation, the seven stars moved in unison.

Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul's blades, Kang Jin Long's golden light, Di Tu Hao's thick walls, Room Sun Rabbit's flowing light, Heart Moon Fox's entanglements, Tail Fire Tiger's blazing flames, She Tail Tiger Constellation Beast's pounces, Jing Mu An's restraints.

Seven different combat styles, yet at this moment, they coordinated like the limbs of a single person, seamless and flawless.

The Fox Spirit was forced back by golden light, landing in the path of the flowing light. The long-horned Yao Race member, having just avoided the fox tails, ran headlong into the flames. The boar demon's charging routes were always sealed by thick walls. The octopus demon tried to flee, but a leopard shadow always guarded its retreat.

A mere ten breaths.

The seven beams of starlight simultaneously retracted. Only five fallen figures remained within the Formation.

Great Dragon and Second Dragon trembled all over—not from fear, but because that dragon might pressed down on them, almost forcing them to their knees.

Zhou Yan finally lowered his arms and took a step forward.

The seven phantoms simultaneously dissipated, transforming into a sky full of starlight that fell back into the starry expanse behind him.

This battle left Great Dragon and Second Dragon utterly shocked.

Shi Suiyan, however, wasn't particularly surprised. After all, the battle Zhou Yan fought a year ago was far more exaggerated than this.

Now, after two years of cultivation, it's normal for Zhou Yan to be stronger.

To sum it up in one sentence: My Senior Brother is invincible!

However, a rare trace of seriousness appeared on Xuanyuan Qingyao's originally expressionless face.

Gazing at Zhou Yan's back, she couldn't help but lower her head in deep thought.

Is Zhou Yan's strength really this much stronger than anticipated?

After all, she could also instantly kill these minor demons, but dealing with those two dragons would be a different story.

With those two dragons providing support, she would indeed face some minor trouble against so many Yao.

The serious expression lasted only a moment before quickly reverting to its previous state.

She looked at Zhou Yan again.

Just as the intelligence reported, his methods are varied and unpredictable.

Looking at it this way, the Nascent Soul Domain used by the opposing Elder during the Three Sects Martial Competition also has no reference value.

After all, based on the characteristics displayed now, his Nascent Soul Domain couldn't possibly only have water and wood attributes, unless both his water and wood techniques have reached that level.

But mastering one primary and one secondary Law at the Nascent Soul Stage... that's truly somewhat exaggerated.

Zhou Yan, watching the five figures turning into green light and vanishing, also felt a bit of a headache.

Because he neither received a System reward nor saw any loot drop. That was purely for show, with no rewards received.

Not to mention, only Zhou Yan himself knew just how awkward that show-off maneuver was.

Looking at the still-stunned Great Dragon and Second Dragon, his headache intensified.

The star souls are good in every way, except they're just too fragile.

Just moments ago, during the star souls' battle with those uncoordinated Yao, with every collision, their health bars were plummeting.

It was only because Zhou Yan and Room Sun Rabbit were continuously healing that the fight could continue.

This was also why Room Sun Rabbit took so long to finish off that minor demon—it had to split its focus on healing.

As for Great Dragon and Second Dragon, it was fortunate that Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul managed to hold them off. Otherwise, if either of them had gotten a hit in, a star soul would have been taken offline, and then there wouldn't even have been a chance to show off.

Thankfully, Jiao Mu Jiao - star soul's innate talent and his own Divine Ability came into play, allowing for this perfect conclusion.

None of those Yao Race members had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage, so none had Nascent Soul Domain enhancements.

Before attaining a Nascent Soul Domain, in battles between Nascent Souls, having one extra Nascent Soul ally could reverse the outcome.

On his side, by holding off Great Dragon and Second Dragon and relying on the combined force of seven Nascent Souls, he barely managed to instantly kill four Nascent Souls—and that was still due to their inferior panels.

Ultimately, it's still somewhat entertainment-oriented. Without integrating with the Azure Dragon, it simply isn't sustainable.

With the star souls gone, Zhou Yan could finally stretch his limbs.

The remaining two are both Dragons. Taking them on himself would perfectly maintain the imposing Aura.

"Hehehe, don't panic. It'll be your turn soon."

Great Dragon and Second Dragon weren't actually injured much, but at this moment, they truly didn't dare to continue fighting Zhou Yan.

Just the power he had displayed so far was enough to kill them several times over, for all they knew.

A wave of bitterness couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

Your Highness the Crown Prince, you really overestimated us.

The biggest trouble we could cause him might just be splashing him with blood, forcing him to change clothes.

In their eyes now, Zhou Yan had transformed into a giant monster emanating black energy, and this monster was reaching out towards them.

Second Dragon wasted no words. With a single-handed seal, the Domain of blue skies, white clouds above and a sea horizon below unfurled from him and rapidly expanded towards Zhou Yan.

At this moment, Zhou Yan felt no panic, but instead a flicker of excitement.

Domain clash!

Back when he watched the Three Sects Martial Competition, he had coveted that scene for a long time.

But no one ever gave him the chance. He never expected to realize it here, perfect for him to enjoy himself.

Zhou Yan's shoulders even trembled slightly with excitement as he quickly formed hand seals, preparing to respond to the opponent's Battle Intent.

But the scene shifted. The Domain Second Dragon was about to unleash suddenly contracted, shrinking back as fast as it had expanded.

Zhou Yan saw sweat beading on Second Dragon's forehead, but his mouth split into a wide grin.

"Zhou Yan! This was our escape route all along!"

Great Dragon, quick as lightning, placed a hand on Second Dragon's shoulder. In an instant, the entire blue sky and sea collapsed into a point of light, finally erupting into a huge cloud of mist.

Splashing right into Zhou Yan's face.

The salty, fishy smell of seawater instantly triggered Zhou Yan's chef's professional reflex. He instantly identified a slew of flavors, then felt nauseous for a long while.

And so, the battle concluded with Zhou Yan kneeling on the ground retching, and Great Dragon and Second Dragon making their escape. Zhou Yan's imposing Aura had shattered completely.

"The battle has only just begun!"

Meanwhile, within the bamboo forest, Bai Ling watched as within the smoke and dust kicked up by the Formation bombardment, a pair of eyes glowing with red light lit up.

With a blast of air, the dust cleared, revealing Ao Ye, now three meters tall and transformed into a draconian humanoid.

The seventy-two Formations that had barely managed to suppress him before were instantly breached by his formidable Physical Body.

Bai Ling, seeing the provocative in the other's eyes and the crushed Formation core in his hand, frowned and began restoring his body even more rapidly.

Simultaneously, another shade of blue appeared within his double pupils.
