Chapter 383: Chapter 302: Solo Battle Against Two Shining Stars
Black Mountain Elder and Guo Feng, both Shining Star Level experts, had seen a lot in their days and encountered many bizarre skills.
But they had never seen an Outer Path Skill as formidable as the one in front of them.
The strength of Outer Path Skills primarily depends on the energy used to drive them.
Opposite them was a young man who, despite just being at the Gold Limit, demonstrated black flame Outer Path energy fluctuations that vaguely surpassed their own.
Although alarmed, this wouldn’t scare two Shining Stars that easily.
“I’d like to see if it’s really formidable or just a paper tiger!”
Black Mountain Elder snorted coldly, suppressing his surprise, and raised his goat-headed staff, pointing it at the black giant.
“Yin Erosion Arrow Rain!”
With a low shout, black light surged from the goat head, and hundreds of three-foot-long black gas arrows shot out like a torrential rain!
Each of these black gas arrows carried energy fluctuations several times greater than that of the Gold Level. Ordinary Gold Levels wouldn’t be able to withstand even one!
Faced with the hundreds of black arrows raining down, Su Yuan inside the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ giant body remained calm, neither defending nor dodging.
“This won’t trouble the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.”
In the blink of an eye, the arrow rain enveloped him. Countless black gas arrows continuously struck the enormous body of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, stirring up bursts of black flames.
But what seemed like a ferocious offensive was like heavy rain hitting the water surface, creating ripples without any substantial effect.
The unparalleled recovery ability of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints restored the parts of their black body shattered by the arrow rain in an instant without any energy consumption.
This was a perfect synergy with the Divine Fire Skill itself!
The trait of the Undead Evil Fire was its immortality. As long as a spark remained, it could continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Star Power to rekindle.
Driven by the core of the Undead Evil Fire, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints could likewise recover infinitely fast as long as they weren’t destroyed in an instant, without any significant energy consumption from the user!
Under the storm of arrow rains, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints stood steady. Rolling black flames swallowed all the black arrows with ease!
Black Mountain Elder exclaimed, “My Yin Erosion Arrow Rain has an erosion effect that specifically breaks through defenses. Even the defense skills of Shining Stars can’t fully block it! How could someone at the Gold Level withstand it?!”
Just then, with a thought, Su Yuan commanded the Void Evil Manifesting Saints to stride toward the two.
Though enormous, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints moved swiftly.
“I’ll handle this!”
Guo Feng shouted, shaking his sleeves. Dense green poisonous mist spread forward from him!
Wherever it passed, all vegetation blackened, withered, and bore blotches of yellow and green, clearly poisoned.
Quickly, the dense green mist engulfed the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
The sound of poison corroding echoed.
A gleam of excitement flickered in Black Mountain Elder’s eyes. “Is it working?”
Guo Feng frowned for a moment before his expression drastically changed.
“Not good, move away, quickly!”
A gigantic black shadow approached, burning black flames alongside it, as the Void Evil Manifesting Saints broke through the mist and appeared before the two of them. Its two pitch-black giant hands slapped down directly!
Guo Feng, realizing the danger, reacted swiftly, leaping aside.
The black giant hand slammed beside him, the black flames exploding and sending Guo Feng flying.
Facing the giant hand coming out of the poisoned mist, Black Mountain Elder was a step too slow and was slammed to the ground by the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ giant hand!
From a distance, Guo Feng steadied himself, looking up to see Black Mountain Elder pinned by the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ hand. He exclaimed in shock, “Old Black!”
After a moment of silence, the surrounding Star Power suddenly thickened.
Sensing the change, Guo Feng quickly retreated again!
“Erosion Pulse!”
An intense fluctuation of Star Power burst forth. A hemispherical black pulse spread from beneath the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ hand in all directions.
The ground sank, and everything along the path was eroded and obliterated by the black pulse!
Even the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ arm and entire body were eroded and disintegrated rapidly as if irradiated.
This move was Black Mountain Elder’s skill, utilizing the erosive power of the soul. Its explosive force was terrifying.
“No wonder they say Shining Stars are nothing to underestimate…”
Silver light shone in Su Yuan’s eyes, controlling the All-Knowing Vision and monitoring the entire scene. He had prepared when Black Mountain Elder secretly gathered all his Star Power.
Now, Su Yuan’s eyes locked onto the retreating Guo Feng, and silver chains rose beneath him.
“Teleportation!” Su Yuan commanded coldly.
In a flash, he swapped positions with Guo Feng.
Guo Feng, feeling a strange fluctuation, found himself caught within the range of the newly formed pulse without any defenses up!
The eroding energy of the pulse broke into his body, and his blood burst into mist. His flesh eroded in chunks as if peeled away.
“Ah!!…Stop it!”
Guo Feng screamed, unleashing thick green poisonous mist to fend off the surrounding erosive pulse energy.
Black Mountain Elder, seeing Guo Feng’s sudden appearance before him, was startled but immediately ceased his pulse attack.
Black Mountain Elder, stripped of his black robe and severely burned, displayed his black-red, cracked, and heavily injured skin from the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ slap.
Guo Feng was in even worse shape. His flesh was disfigured, with exposed bones visible from where the pulse had eroded his body.
Both of them were in dire conditions.
But it wasn’t over yet.
At the moment Black Mountain Elder stopped, Su Yuan, with the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, teleported again, not giving them a moment to breathe, and swung a black fist down fiercely!
Teleportation and Instant Movement…
The constant spatial shifts left Black Mountain Elder and Guo Feng disoriented.
Already heavily injured and exhausted from his earlier outburst, Black Mountain Elder could only muster his Star Power to shield his head.
Guo Feng, though in bad shape, retained full mobility.
“Ezhang Cannibal Tree!”
With a sharp scream, Guo Feng summoned a giant carnivorous tree from the ground, with a mouth full of fangs, aiming to intercept the incoming fist.
The carnivorous tree burst apart upon contact, unable to dent the fist.
But Guo Feng wasn’t trying to shatter the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ fist, only to buy time!
He darted, transforming into a green light to escape.
Yet at that moment, twelve Sky Locks emerged, sealing every direction.
Guo Feng’s face changed as two silver chains blocked his way. He waved a hand, imbued with green mist, to strike the chains.
The Sky Locks, unenhanced by the Great Sun Burning Body Technique, couldn’t withstand Shining Star Level attacks, shattering after a slight tussle.
But the Sky Locks were highly flexible. As Guo Feng moved again, the remaining chains converged on him.
“Damn it, what is this?!” Guo Feng cursed, shattering the Sky Locks with rapid palm strikes.
The carnivorous tree fully destroyed, the flaming giant fist smashed onto Guo Feng’s head!
“Bang, bang!…”
Two loud booms followed by silence.
“Their Shining Star Level bodies are remarkably tough…”
Silver light shone in Su Yuan’s eyes as he evaluated the two trapped in the crater.
A Gold Level would be pulverized by just one of these blows.
But despite their cracked flesh, blood-soaked bodies, and almost nonexistent breath, these two retained their humanoid forms.
“Well, let’s give them a few more hits.”
Emotionless, Su Yuan had the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ fists pummel the downed duo repeatedly.
Deafening booms thundered, stirring up clouds of dust.
After dozens of punches, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints finally ceased, withdrawing its fists.
With a thought, Su Yuan recalled the black flames into his body.
“The consumption is tremendous.” Su Yuan, slightly pale, assessed his condition.
In short order, half of his Star Power was depleted.
The Void Evil Manifesting Saints drained significant energy, and using it for Teleportation and Instant Movement was incredibly taxing.
“But compared to the unmatched power of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, the expense is nothing.”
Eyes thoughtful, Su Yuan scanned the two gigantic craters.
Black Mountain Elder and Guo Feng had turned into unrecognizable meat pulp, with only tatters of clothing and a broken goat-headed staff left to discern them by.
After a bit of searching, Su Yuan found their Space Rings embedded in the ground.
“Luckily, the Space Rings are still functional. Otherwise, this would be a huge loss.”
Peering into the rings, Su Yuan took a deep breath.
The miscellaneous materials were too numerous to count.
Star Stones accumulated to nearly 280,000 Cent Star Stones!
Not to mention the talismans, unique items, Star Cores, and Star Devices…
Selling all of it would likely fetch another hundred thousand Star Stones.
“No wonder the wealth of Shining Stars is in a league of its own compared to Gold and Silver.”
Though the best items were a few Shining Star Level Master Quality Star Cores, the variety was vast…
Epic Star Cards were conspicuously absent.
They were so rare that even Shining Stars often used them immediately upon acquisition instead of hoarding them.
