Chapter 190 – The Starry Sky Stretches Beyond
TL: Sponsored chapter (2/4)
Dark purple motes of starfire appeared above the arena. Mo Yue extended a fair, delicate hand, her eyes slightly lowered. “As this is our first time exchanging moves, I will present you with this spell, Nightfall Starfire.”
After her words reached his ears, the sky full of dark purple starfire motes condensed towards the palm of her hand, coalescing into a giant orb of deep purple light that brightly illuminated her surroundings. Deep, dangerous rumbling sounds repeatedly erupted from the inside the orb, occasionally ejecting embers of starfire from the orb. Wherever they landed on the floor of the arena, purple flames towered up.
“Go.”
Mo Yue released the giant orb of purple starfire from her palm. As it flew through the air toward Xu Disheng, it crackled with webs of purple lightning.
“That’s a Dao Foundation spell from the Starfire Record!”
“Who could have expected that Mo Yue had already fully comprehended her profound law foundation and can move the power of heaven and earth!”
“You all are making a fuss over nothing! As an unparalleled Rank 3 Spiritual Root genius from the Shangqing Mountain Range, how is her fully comprehending her profound law foundation anything surprising?”
“This Nightfall Starfire move is extremely famous. A few hundred years ago, Deep Night Primordial Lord once used this move to exterminate an entire mid-sized sect!”
“But Mo Yue’s cultivation is still inadequate. Even if she manages to forcefully uses this move, it shouldn’t be too powerful.”
… …
Xu Disheng watched as the orb of deep purple light, wrapped in coils of lightning, whistled and crackled through the air towards him. Although it was still about half the arena’s length away, he could perceive the starfire within, the energy constantly cycling through birth and death.
“Controlling Waves.”
Massive amounts of water vapor condensed in front of him. In a flash, it transformed into an enormous wave over 50 meters tall, which began to surge towards the deep purple orb of light approaching him.
The sound of a deafening explosion erupted forth as the massive wave wrapped up the orb of light. The wave was torn open at the moment of impact. Water and vapor flew every which way, blocking the line of sight.
The condensed orb of starfire dissipated along with the wave, but it was now spread out across the entire arena in small motes of deep purple starfire that floated in the air.
“Azure Ocean is just one water element cultivation method, but my Starfire Record has three spells. How can you win against me?” Mo Yue said, unfazed by the fact that her attack didn’t work. She gave a pretty smile, then began to weave a series of complicated hand seals. “Moon Phase Revolution.”
The motes of starfire that were scattered across the entire arena began to transform into brilliant moonlight, the deep purple giving way to dazzling pale white that emitted an aura of bone-chilling cold.
A sense of life-threatening danger rose in Xu Disheng’s heart. With a flick of his gaze, he activated the White Heron Robe. An instant later, White Heron’s First Cry was cast at full force, causing dozens of white birds to materialize into being. They fluttered and danced outwards, making for an extremely beautiful sight.
The motes of pale white moonlight that filled the arena began to quiver, then emitted a dazzling radiance, unleashing their illuminating glow towards Xu Disheng!
Hundreds of beams of white moonlight shot towards him, each one imbued with an aura of intense, bone-chilling cold. They came from every direction, completely surrounding Xu Disheng.
“What a powerful move!”
“Is this the might of the Starfire Record?”
“Moon Phase Revolution is also a Dao Foundation stage spell from the Starfire Record. The cold aura can completely freeze the profound qi of a Sea of Qi stage cultivator!”
As it turned out, Moon Phase Revolution was a spell that directly attacked the sea of qi!
The hundreds of white beams of light penetrated through the defenses of the White Heron Robe, completely ignoring the fluttering white birds as if they didn’t exist. They pierced through, right towards Xu Disheng’s sea of qi!
The phantom image of the ancient bell in his sea of qi shook and produced a golden barrier around itself, which managed to block the first few beams of moonlight.
Xu Disheng’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. The profound qi in all of his meridians revolved crazily in an attempt to disperse the moonlight that had entered his body.
The beams of moonlight didn’t harm his body nor his mind, but the intense cold that radiated from the moonlight’s aura was threatening to freeze his sea of qi over!
The Shangqing profound qi that was circulating through Xu Disheng’s meridians became more and more sluggish. He was helpless against the moonlight. He took several True Qi Pills in an attempt to rely on the mystical trait of the ancient bell to resist this strange attack.
“You won’t be able to resist this attack, Junior Martial Brother Xu. Admit defeat,” Mo Yue said. She didn’t underestimate him at all. After the first probing attack, she immediately used an offensive-type spell like this that targeted his sea of qi.
Without as much profound qi to power it, the pale white radiance from the White Heron Robe dimmed. The situation in Xu Disheng’s sea of qi could only be called a crisis!
The hundreds of beams of moonlight that pierced into his sea of qi had condensed into an orb of frigid white profound qi, which had wrapped itself around the ancient bell. It was now slowly icing over, and now Xu Disheng could only hardly use a tenth of the profound qi he could normally use!
Just that 10% of profound qi would be exhausted in only a few breaths of time. Even the powerful medicinal strength of the True Qi Pills was completely unable to replenish his profound qi!
After all, once the True Qi Pills were ingested, the medicinal power needed to enter his sea of qi before it could take effect. Xu Disheng’s sea of qi was on the verge of freezing over entirely. Even if he took more True Qi Pills, it would be useless.
“Xu Disheng is going to lose.”
“Who could have foreseen that Mo Yue had already managed to successfully cultivate this spell? At the Sea of Qi stage, this spell is unbeatable!”
“This Moon Phase Revolution spell is extremely malicious. Not only can it completely freeze over someone’s sea of qi, but it’s also very difficult to undo. If it persists for too long, this can cause the Jianggong meridian point to completely lose its spiritual nature, which would make the person permanently handicapped!”
“If Xu Disheng admits defeat now, Cloud Stream Spirit Master still might be able to save him, but if this continues any longer…”
Many people began to look at Xu Disheng with pity in their eyes, while others looked anxious. He Junyu’s expression was unsightly as he watched on. He murmured under his breath, “Hurry up and admit defeat, Junior Martial Brother Xu…! If your sea of qi is frozen for too long, your Jianggong meridian point will lose its spiritual nature, and you’ll become practically handicapped!”
Mo Yue’s black dress was glittering with star light as always, looking like a goddess that had descended to the mortal realm. Her fair, delicate fingers weaved another set of hand seals, and a phantom image of a river of stars appeared above the mist arena!
The phantom image was indistinct, but the aura that it gave off was incredibly shocking!
“Cold is the starlight’s splendor, scattering clouds and sweeping wind—Falling Starry River.”
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Mo Yue’s gentle voice breathed through her cherry blossom lips, but her words were filled with an endlessly frigid killing intent. The river of stars that filled the sky above the arena plummeted downwards, falling towards Xu Disheng!
Although Mo Yue had firmly grasped the upper hand, she didn’t seem to have any intention of underestimating her opponent. She immediately unleashed another move that was on par with Moon Phase Revolution in strength!
“That’s Falling Starry River! Yet another Dao Foundation stage spell in the Starfire Record!”
“Xu Disheng doesn’t have any profound qi left. He’s practically unable to resist, but Mo Yue is continuing to attack him?”
“This is why she’s called an unparalleled genius. No matter who she’s up against, even if her opponent was a harmless mortal, she would never underestimate her enemy or let them get a lucky hit off, much less a genius like Xu Disheng, who is only short of her by a hair.”
“Taking full advantage of the opponent’s moments of weakness, whether by fair or by foul, is what makes a true genius.”
In the Mingxin Mountain Range, the faces of Ma Chen and the others were ashen as they watched the massive screen of light projected above the marketplace. After feeling their empty storage pouches, they either muttered dejectedly to themselves or fell completely silent.
Chu Luo’s expression was also grave. He watched as Xu Disheng continued to struggle with the bright moonlight, as the river of stars above him upended and fell towards him. His situation was incredibly dangerous. “Senior Martial Brother Xu…” Chu Luo muttered to himself.
In Morning Night Hall on Morning Dew Peak, Lu Changge, Bai Honghua, and the other Dao Foundation stage disciples of the Peak were gathered. There were also dozens of Morning Dew Peak disciples present, watching the massive screen of light projected next to the 10,000-year old pine tree. Their expressions were filled with great pity as they watched. When they exchanged glances with one another, they could only sigh.
“It’s over for Senior Martial Brother Xu…”
“Hurry up and admit defeat, Senior Martial Brother Xu! There’s no need to try to show off!”
“Senior Martial Brother Xu!”
The expressions of all the disciples of Morning Dew Peak were colored with anxiety and regret, every one of them wishing they could admit defeat for him.
“Celestial Tide, it’s a shame about that brat of yours. Without a specialized Magic Treasure to protect his sea of qi, there’s no way to block Mo Yue’s move.”
The move that this Spirit Master was referring to was Moon Phase Revolution, which had caused Xu Disheng to lose most of his fighting ability, rendering him unable to stand up against Mo Yue.
Celestial Tide Spirit Master was already at the half-step Primordial Spirit stage, and he had already peered into the gate of the cultivation boundary before him. When he heard what was said to him, a ripple appeared in his gaze that was as deep as the sea. “Just watch,” he replied.
In the sea of clouds, Lu Ling watched as the youth struggled, wrapped in the bright moonlight assailing him. Her heart was twinging with pain. She anxiously bit her lip, accidentally drawing a bead of blood.
