37: A natural star-grabbing hand

“Xiao Yi, there’s a late-stage Void Dao Realm cultivator secretly following them. It should be the two people’s Dao Protector.”

The Ring Old Man’s divine sense swept around, and He secretly transmitted his voice.

“Damn it, why do these immortal second-generations always have powerful protectors wherever they go?”

Xiao Yi looked annoyed, his heart filled with envy.

Born into a powerful faction, one truly doesn’t have to do anything, yet has countless resources and powerful protectors when traveling.

As for him, he has to rely on himself for everything.

The heavens are truly too unfair.

“Teacher, if I win later, do you think he’ll go back on his word?” Xiao Yi walked out of the city, a sudden unease rising in his heart.

His intuition had always been very accurate.

Which meant, he might be in mortal danger next.

“Don’t worry, a Heaven’s Chosen values his reputation the most; he won’t do anything that goes against his Dao Heart.”

“However, if you get the soul infant fruit, he definitely won’t let you go.”

The Ring Old Man transmitted his voice.

“Whatever, as long as I get the soul infant fruit.”

“After this job, we’ll leave Qing Continent. The world is vast; I refuse to believe he can chase me to the ends of the earth.”

Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently, feeling much more at ease.

After all, the Ring Old Man was there.

As long as he consumed the soul infant fruit, He could recover to the Void Dao Realm strength.

In such a situation, while killing a Void Dao Realm cultivator was out of the question, taking him away would definitely be no problem.

The four arrived at a desolate mountain a hundred miles outside the city. Xiao Yi’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly spoke.

“Fellow Daoists, for the sake of fairness, why don’t you first hand the soul infant fruit to Fairy Chu Yao?”

Hearing this, Chu Yao was amused by Xiao Yi’s shameless face.

He hadn’t even started fighting, yet he was already thinking about how to get the soul infant fruit.

“What you said makes sense, but Young Master Gu is betting the soul infant fruit with you. What treasure are you offering?”

“This…”

Xiao Yi secretly resented in his heart. He hadn’t even settled scores with Chu Yao, yet Chu Yao was constantly opposing him.

If he didn’t know he couldn’t defeat Chu Yao, he would definitely challenge Chu Yao.

To teach this little vixen how to behave.

“Young Master Gu initiated this; I just want to make the duel a bit fairer.” Xiao Yi said with a gloomy face.

“Heh, put away your petty thoughts.”

“Do you really think you can get the soul infant fruit alive?”

Although Chu Yao didn’t know the two’s strength, Gu Qing was such a cunning person; how could he be outsmarted by Xiao Yi?

Regardless of winning or losing, Xiao Yi was doomed.

Besides, wasn’t she still here?

Gu Qing was so handsome and generous; he utterly charmed her. She wouldn’t just watch Gu Qing suffer a loss.

“What do you mean?”

Xiao Yi’s eyelids twitched wildly, his heart filled with extreme unease.

“Idiot, literally.”

Chu Yao sneered, no longer bothering with Xiao Yi, and retreated with Su Qingyue.

“Young Master Gu, are you planning not to follow the rules?”

Xiao Yi looked at Gu Qing and said in a deep voice.

“I will naturally follow the rules. Only after you withstand my three moves can you think about the soul infant fruit.”

Gu Qing admired the protagonist who sought wealth in danger.

He would severely slap the villain’s face, then narrowly escape death at the hands of the Dao Protector, and then encounter a fortuitous opportunity, not only recovering from his injuries but also greatly increasing his cultivation.

It’s just a pity that he is not the villain; he is the man of the Child of Destiny, the light of the righteous path.

Thinking this, Gu Qing didn’t wait for Xiao Yi to continue nagging and directly reached out to grab Xiao Yi.

“Star Picking Hand…”

Boom~!

With a roar, the world changed color.

The clear blue sky instantly flashed with a myriad of starlight.

Countless stars encircled Gu Qing, bathing him in sacred starlight, as if he were a deity controlling all the stars in the heavens.

The unity of man and nature, under the blessing of the laws of heaven and earth, the power of the divine ability directly soared dozens of times.

A Star Picking Hand print, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around it, covered the sky and earth.

“This is… Star Picking Hand?!”

“Not good, quickly give me control of your body.”

The Ring Old Man was greatly alarmed.

In fact, without the Ring Old Man saying anything, Xiao Yi was already scared out of his wits at this moment.

The Star Picking Hand was simply too terrifying.

Before the divine ability hand print even arrived, a vast and boundless power had already descended, suffocating him.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that this was a divine ability that a Xuan Dan Realm cultivator could unleash.

Boom~!

The Ring Old Man took control of Xiao Yi’s body, and a powerful aura erupted, resisting the terrifying aura of the Star Picking Hand.

His cultivation instantly soared to the third level of the Refining Spirit Realm.

The moment he clenched his fist, an extreme ice and fire surged around him.

He punched out, simultaneously conjuring a damaged large bell for protection.

Boom~!

The mountain under Xiao Yi’s feet was blasted into a thousand-zhang deep pit by the Star Picking Hand.

“Cough, cough~”

Xiao Yi coughed up fragments of his internal organs; all his bones were shattered by the immense power of the Star Picking Hand, and he lay in the deep pit, barely clinging to life.

“A naturally formed Star Picking Hand. This is an awakened innate divine ability. You have awakened a top-tier divine body of the star type.”

He looked at Gu Qing, his eyes filled with despair.

This time, Xiao Yi had truly kicked an iron plate. He would probably lose his life here today.

Because he was very clear about the power of the Star God Temple.

This was an immortal Dao lineage inherited from ancient and even primeval times, floating in the cosmic starry sky, transcending the world.

Every true disciple of the Star God Temple who came out for experience had a powerful Dao Protector at the King Realm or above.

If he and Xiao Yi could defeat Gu Qing, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope, but if they couldn’t, there was absolutely no escape.

[Detected that Xiao Yi has been possessed by the Ring Old Man, battle power has soared to the third level of the Refining Spirit Realm, triggering Super Thornmail. Host’s battle power is super doubled, super doubling… Super doubling complete. Host gains Refining Spirit Realm six-fold cultivation.]

Boom~!

A powerful force descended upon him, and Gu Qing’s realm instantly soared to the sixth level of the Refining Spirit Realm.

He glanced at Xiao Yi, who looked like a dead dog, and frowned slightly.

Is the Ring Old Man’s strength just this?

He’s too weak.

[Detected that Xiao Yi is terrified of the Host and is plundering the Host’s luck, triggering Super Thornmail, counter-plundering Xiao Yi of one thousand luck.]

[Detected that Xiao Yi harbors malicious intent towards the Host and is plundering the Host’s luck, triggering Super Thornmail, counter-plundering Xiao Yi of one thousand luck.]

Gu Qing stepped on Xiao Yi’s chest, his true essence wantonly destroying his meridians.

“Stop.”

“I surrender.”

Xiao Yi took over his body, saying with extreme terror in his eyes.

“Do you still want that soul infant fruit?” Gu Qing looked at him with a playful expression.

“Fellow Daoist is joking; the soul infant fruit was originally yours.”

Xiao Yi forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.

Before fighting Gu Qing, he was full of confidence, believing that Gu Qing was merely arrogant and a frog in a well, unaware that there were heavens beyond the sky and people beyond people.

But at this moment, he felt like he was dreaming.

One must know that he was a Heaven’s Chosen who could kill enemies beyond his level, slaughtering those of the same rank as easily as eating and drinking.

He often used the Ring Old Man to kill elders.

Yet now, the two of them, one big and one small combined, were not even a match for Gu Qing in a single move.

What else could this be but a dream?

“Sister Su, what supreme divine body has Young Master Gu awakened?”

Chu Yao’s alluring foxy eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Qing, her slender jade finger poking Su Qingyue beside her.

On the surface, she was as steady as an old ox, but inwardly, her heart was in turmoil.

The Star Picking Hand unleashed by Gu Qing was naturally formed, flawless, and perfectly integrated with heaven and earth, as if it were an ancient, eternally existing peerless great divine ability.

There was no trace of acquired cultivation.

It was obvious, without asking, that this was an awakened innate divine ability.

The power of the Star Picking Hand was even stronger than what was recorded.

The unparalleled, vast power, covering the sky and earth, even though it wasn’t attacking her, made her, a sixth-level Refining Spirit Realm cultivator, feel a fatal crisis.

Thinking of this, Chu Yao’s soaring ambition, which had arisen from obtaining the cultivation technique and divine ability, instantly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over it.

Supreme divine abilities are hailed as the pinnacle of divine bodies, the most supreme of all bodies, inherently terrifying.

If one also awakens an innate divine ability, their battle power becomes absurdly strong.

Even if she cultivated the same ancient divine ability, how could she contend against someone else’s innate divine ability?

“Hmph, I advise you to stop prying; this is not something you should ask.”

Su Qingyue distanced herself from her, her heart filled with anger.

Who is your Sister Su?

Shameless vixen.

On the other side, the moment he saw the Star Picking Hand, Xu Tiefu’s mind was greatly shaken.

He suddenly recalled an ancient classic in the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

It recorded a transcendent power, which was the Star God Temple.

The Star God Temple had countless powerful King Realm cultivators.

There were also the legendary Human Supremes, Saints who patrolled the heavens and earth, and even the immortal Divine Fire Realm cultivators.

According to records, the Star God Temple’s heritage was so ancient that it was difficult to trace, a truly immortal Dao lineage that had endured countless kalpas without decline.

It was the strongest sect in this universe.

At this thought, Xu Tiefu was scared out of his wits, with only one thought in his mind: to escape.

As arrogant as he was when he arrived, that’s how pathetic he was now in his escape.

No matter how important the soul infant fruit was, it wasn’t as important as his own life.

If Gu Qing were a Holy Land Saint Son, he would dare to kill him, but facing someone from the Star God Temple, he wouldn’t dare even with ten thousand guts.

“Trying to escape? Can you…?”

Ji Ning opened her eyes, emitting a divine light that instantly blasted Xu Tiefu into dust.

A generation of sect masters who dominated one side thus met their demise.

“It seems these two won’t be able to ignite their passion this time. These people truly deserve to die.” She murmured, her expression filled with annoyance at not being able to watch a good show.
