76: crush

Fang Yue, accompanied by the phantom of the Giant Lizard, charged towards Shen Qing with a fierce momentum, like a towering mountain, carrying a destructive frenzy that threatened to tear everything apart.

Swish—

Shen Qing stood his ground, not even moving a single step, as if the oncoming assault was merely a gentle breeze.

“Roar!” The Giant Lizard phantom roared, and Fang Yue's fist had already struck.

A series of explosive sounds erupted from the surging winds.

Ning Zhenzhen, Ye Qinghe, and Hua Xiangrong, who were watching from below, showed no signs of tension.

Ning Zhenzhen and Ye Qinghe both knew Shen Qing's strength, especially Ning Zhenzhen, and in Hua Xiangrong's heart, Shen Qing was a reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon.

If not, he was close enough.

How could he lose in such a battle?

Only Jiang Wanqing and Liu Ruyan became nervous simultaneously. Seeing this, Ning Zhenzhen waved her hand nonchalantly and said, “Just relax and watch.”

The others clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events.

“Hiss…” Ji Kun exclaimed, “Why isn't Senior Brother Shen moving?”

“Deacon Cai, you…”

He was about to ask, but Deacon Cai next to him was so stunned that his jaw almost dropped: “Fang Yue is actually so fierce when he fights!”

He had never witnessed it before and thought Fang Yue's talent was truly meant only for raising Spirit Beasts.

Who knew there was this aspect, directly gaining the strength of a Spirit Beast?

“Ah?”

Ji Kun was truly shocked now.

Even the Deacon didn't know Fang Yue's true strength and had only just witnessed it?

“Then Senior Brother Shen won't lose, will he…”

Just as everyone was tense, before the words could finish, Shen Qing raised his hand and pointed out several fingers.

Beams of Star Radiance, condensed to the extreme, burst forth from his fingertips.

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

There were no deafening explosions, only a few soft thuds. However, the fiercely charging Fang Yue, upon being struck, saw the massive Giant Lizard phantom intensely fluctuate.

“Ugh!”

A muffled sound escaped Fang Yue's throat.

The beams of Star Radiance struck the weak points connecting him and the Giant Lizard phantom. Although not powerful, they caused him to suffer a backlash.

Star Sect's divine ability, Star Transformation Finger!

He had heard of this divine ability, but today was the first time he had witnessed it.

Fang Yue, intent on continuing, refined his spiritual power and let out a low growl.

“Bang!”

“Explode for me!”

The Martial Arts Arena, adjusted to accommodate the strength of Golden Core cultivators, instantly cracked. Cracks, like earth dragons, lunged towards Shen Qing.

Fang Yue concentrated and hurled the Giant Lizard phantom, its power solidifying.

At this moment, he and the arriving Big Lizard instantly exchanged power.

Fang Yue's cultivation level dropped, returning to his Purple Mansion realm, while the Big Lizard, at the seventh level of Golden Core, became even more ferocious.

Cooperating with the offensive Fang Yue created, she activated the innate talent in her bloodline. The violent spiritual power condensed into an earth dragon, a powerful earth dragon dozens of meters long with piercing eyes!

This was the innate divine ability she obtained through communication with Fang Yue's Seven-Aperture Beast Taming Heart!

And Fang Yue, driving his talent, fully supported her.

The Giant Lizard phantom pressing down from the sky, the killing moves injected into the cracks below, and this earth dragon tens of meters long.

All three erupted simultaneously.

The immense pressure startled many disciples.

If they were to face such a situation, they would have no choice but to surrender.

If they didn't die from a direct hit, they would be severely injured.

The Giant Lizard, originally at the seventh level of Golden Core, now subtly approached the Dharma Aspect realm.

Spanning an entire major realm.

Fang Yue stared intently at Shen Qing. He was now completely without combat power, only able to support the activation of his talent.

It was also through the connection between his talent and the Big Lizard that he maintained consciousness. Fang Yue knew he had suffered severe injuries from those few Star Transformation Fingers just now.

Fortunately, this Seven-Aperture Beast Taming Heart was truly miraculous!

“I refuse to believe you can still break through such a killing move!”

“It's better to believe it.” Shen Qing smiled kindly at him.

Before him, a full moon suddenly appeared, vast and righteous, its moonlight spilling down like water, pure and mysterious.

It was like the cold, indifferent gaze of an ancient fierce beast, observing everything.

“Buzz!”

In an instant, the full moon transformed into a crescent moon. The missing parts became seven weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds, encircling the crescent moon.

Like Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon.

“This is?”

The many disciples, who had not yet recovered from Fang Yue's fierce outburst, were once again astonished.

They didn't know what divine ability Shen Qing had used.

Deacon Cai almost spat out the wine he had just drunk: “Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon!”

Ji Kun wondered, “What?”

The term was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

“One look at you, boy, and I know you don't like to use your brain normally!” Slapping him on the head, Deacon Cai said, frustrated, “This is a divine ability of our Star Sect. It draws the power of the Taiyin to condense a bright moon, and those seven weapons are called the Seven Stars, drawing Big Dipper Star Power.”

“How come I don't know about such a divine ability?”

Ji Kun asked.

If he had known, he would definitely have learned it.

No choice, appearance is justice.

This moon was simply too cool.

Forget about fighting, just its appearance alone, using it once on Spirit Beast Mountain, those female disciples would surely turn into fangirls.

And those Spirit Beasts that cultivate by absorbing the essence of moonlight would surely love it.

“You?” Deacon Cai looked him up and down, shook his head, full of disdain: “Don't even think about it.”

“What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?”

“Hmph, even I don't know this divine ability. The threshold for learning it is the Saint King realm.” Deacon Cai took a sip of wine: “As far as I know, several elders on our Spirit Beast Mountain only managed to learn it when they reached the Tribulation Transcending realm.”

“Then Senior Brother Shen?!”

Ji Kun's eyes instantly widened.

Didn't this mean that Shen Qing was already a Saint King?!

Deacon Cai shook his head: “He is indeed Golden Core.”

This was what shocked him; a Golden Core cultivator had learned a divine ability that could stump many Saint King experts.

Even those of them watching were stunned by the pressure of the aura, let alone Fang Yue, who faced the move directly.

His mind went “buzz,” a complete blank.

What Seven-Aperture Beast Taming Heart, what relying on the contract to support the Big Lizard, maintaining his injuries… all thoughts vanished into thin air.

With a “thump,” Fang Yue fell to the ground.

“Boom boom boom!”

Under the moonlight, the killing moves from beneath the earth instantly dissipated. The stars shifted, and they fiercely attacked the Giant Lizard.

With a swing of the great saber, the Star Radiance directly confronted the pressing Giant Lizard phantom, slicing it apart in mid-air, scattering into chaotic spiritual energy turbulence, dissipating everywhere!

At the same time, everyone felt their eyes light up.

“Swish!”

A cold glint flashed. The long spear, carrying the moonlight and Star Radiance, transformed into a silver swimming dragon, meeting the fiercely charging earth dragon.

Two dragons clashed!

There was no stalemate for even a second; the earth dragon summoned by the Big Lizard's innate divine ability instantly disintegrated!

“Puff!”

Fang Yue and the Big Lizard simultaneously spat out fresh blood. The power of the Taiyin invaded their bodies, soft as water yet making them wish they were dead.

Fang Yue had completely fainted, while the Giant Lizard was still wailing and rolling on the ground.

“Stop.”

Mu Qingge entered the Martial Arts Arena, the surprise in her eyes still not having faded.

Clearly, she was also very surprised that Shen Qing had mastered this divine ability.
