Chapter 535 - 454: Taixu Illusion Realm Formatting!
Looking at his good brother who was shining on stage like the Savior, Su Yuan gritted his teeth unhappily.
Damn it, his good brother suddenly transformed to Divinity Transformation, this was harder to bear than killing him!
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he quickly called up the sect system and displayed Chu Lanxi’s ability panel.
On it were two deep reds, four colorful ones, and a long list of shining talents that almost blinded Su Yuan.
Alright, alright! You’ve been secretly recovering your past strength ever since you joined the Taixu Sect, huh?
It’s a pity I didn’t check your ability panel earlier, otherwise, how could I let you show off like this?
Still, despite the displeasure, Su Yuan was more delighted in his heart.
On one hand, the almost confirmed fallen Celestial Monarch Taixu miraculously ’revived’, on the other hand, his good brother had such a big background, naturally he could bask in the glory.
An Xingran, Qi Anong, Chu Lanxi, unknowingly, three out of the Federation’s Ten Great Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs were his people.
With such a background, wouldn’t he be able to walk sideways in the Blue Star Federation?
Thinking about this, Su Yuan felt a surge of joy.
He quickly asked:
"Lanzi... ahem, Senior Chu, you’ve been planning for so long, surely you’ve got an easy way to take down the fake Chu Jiang, right?"
"Even if you can’t handle the opponent, surely you’ve secretly taken control of the Taixu Illusion Realm, haven’t you?"
Chu Lanxi looked back at Su Yuan and said quietly:
"You used to call me sweetie, and now you call me old man, seems like there’s a pitiful thick barrier between us now."
Su Yuan: "..."
Tsk! Calling you senior is giving you face, and you still act like this?
"Cut the crap!"
"Ah, that’s more like it."
Chu Lanxi nodded contently then shook his head and said:
"However, sorry, I noticed you have some unrealistic expectations of me."
"I did fake death and infiltrate beside the shadow that killed me, but I’m really just an ordinary sophomore who hasn’t reached Core Formation yet."
"Foundation Establishment fighting Divinity Transformation, those are scenes only found in novels, I can’t do it."
Su Yuan, Star River Celestial Monarch, Wu Luo True Monarch: "..."
So... that so-called ’fourth choice’ you mentioned earlier was just to show off?
Seeing the distrustful looks from his friends, Chu Lanxi quickly cleared his throat:
"Nevertheless, in dealing with the fake Chu Jiang, I can certainly play a role, like temporarily stalling the opponent from detonating the Taixu Illusion Realm."
"During this time, Qi Anong will have enough time to take down the fake Chu Jiang."
Hearing this, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to achieve this was enough.
After a moment’s pause, Chu Lanxi helplessly shrugged:
"Don’t think I’m useless, after all, who would’ve thought you’d clash with the fake Chu Jiang on the spot."
"After I faked my death, I lost contact with Divinity Transformation friends. I only learned a couple of days ago that the fake Chu Jiang and Qi Anong would arrive at the Blue Star Federation."
"So, I used Su Yuan’s connections to join in on the fun, planning to reveal my true identity, then discuss a grand scheme to take down the fake Chu Jiang. But plans never keep up with changes."
Upon hearing this explanation, Su Yuan and the others were resigned.
Despite everyone around Su Yuan knowing he had mastered the Primordial Dao, even a Primordial Sect employee like Chu Lanxi didn’t have access to this information.
Without knowledge of the Primordial Dao, how could Chu Lanxi have dared to reveal his true identity to Su Yuan?
Even seeking help from the Star River Celestial Monarch posed a great risk, because Chu Lanxi wasn’t aware if the Star River Celestial Monarch had been swapped.
But at this point, this encounter battle was inevitable.
Meanwhile, as Su Yuan’s group discussed passionately, Chu Jiang’s shadow revealed a look of surprise.
He stared at Chu Lanxi and frowned, saying:
"You managed to preserve your True Spirit under my devouring, and I haven’t been able to detect your tricks after inheriting your memories and abilities, it seems the new era’s Divinity Transformation indeed has some skill, but..."
Before Chu Jiang’s shadow could finish, Star River Celestial Monarch coldly interrupted:
"Enough with the nonsense, since you’re no longer a threat to us, you can die."
With that, Star River Celestial Monarch’s beautiful eyes shone brightly and she raised her hand, squeezing towards Chu Jiang’s shadow.
In an instant, the space around him twisted violently, a gravitational singularity of unimaginable magnitude was born, crazily devouring everything around it.
Even Su Yuan, hidden behind Star River Celestial Monarch, struggled to maintain his balance, drawn by the gravitational singularity.
"That thing, could it be a black hole?"
Looking at the pitch-black singularity beside Chu Jiang’s shadow that could devour even light, Su Yuan muttered to himself.
Goodness, black holes are considered stars too, right? So they fall under Star River Celestial Monarch’s domain!
Under the black hole’s pull, Chu Jiang’s shadow’s form rapidly twisted, seemingly about to be drawn into the whirlpool of the black hole.
But at the last moment before the Shadow of Chu Jiang was about to be devoured, his figure suddenly changed, transforming into a semi-transparent light image.
He transformed his entire being into a non-material existence.
"Qi Anong, you’re still as rude as always. Can’t you let someone finish speaking, for once?"
The Shadow of Chu Jiang, like a holographic projection, shook his head helplessly.
That expression was as infuriating as Chu Lanxi’s.
Star River Celestial Monarch grew increasingly furious:
"You fake, stop using my friend’s tone to speak to me."
As the Pink-haired Fairy’s voice fell, the sky full of stars suddenly lit up.
Line after line of crystal-clear threads emerged from the stars, connecting with each other to form a magnificently beautiful star constellation map.
Those so-called threads connecting the stars, from afar they looked like threads, but if you looked closely, you’d see that they were silver-white pillars of light, several kilometers, even tens of kilometers in diameter.
Relying on the connection of silver-white pillars of light, a giant array spanning the starry sky was born.
Star River Celestial Monarch raised her hand, and the bronze Array Plate, as reflective as a mirror, appeared in her hand.
The mirror-like Array Plate reflected the colors of the starry sky.
All Heaven Star Battle Array!
"Die for me!"
Star River Celestial Monarch shouted in a low voice, and silver-white light pillars fell from all directions, bombarding Chu Jiang’s Shadow.
Su Yuan looked somewhat shocked at these silver light pillars.
From his perspective, every light pillar within his sight gathered immense power from many stars, its might comparable to the main cannon on a Star Destroyer.
Moreover, there were subtle differences between each light pillar.
Some light pillars specifically targeted material objects, some targeted Spiritual Mechanism and Spiritual Power, while others targeted souls and all non-material forms of entities.
The starlight capable of attacking from various dimensions was, at this moment, serving one person, and the outcome of Chu Jiang’s Shadow was obvious.
Truly, he was the second most powerful among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs.
After a long time, the silver-white light pillars gradually dissipated, and Star River Celestial Monarch coldly stared at the spot where the Shadow of Chu Jiang had been, her hand holding the Array Plate.
Su Yuan and the others also turned to look.
They saw that the previously composed and dazzling Shadow of Chu Jiang had now become ragged and tattered, resembling a beggar emerging from a garbage heap.
More shockingly, the immeasurable Starlight Power permeated his body, eroding and dismantling every inch of his flesh.
"One hit and I’m seriously injured? The strength of Star River Celestial Monarch truly lives up to its reputation. I should have taken action against you back then."
Even in this state, Chu Jiang’s Shadow still had the leisure to jest.
"Still alive? Your life is tougher than I imagined."
Star River Celestial Monarch frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the result of the previous attack.
"Thank you for the compliment. After all, I’m not that fragile, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it this far."
Chu Lanxi chuckled and said:
"I can hold him off for another three minutes or so; Ah Nong, quickly strike him twice more to finish him off completely."
"Alright."
The Pink-haired Fairy nodded slightly, preparing to unleash the All Heaven Star Battle Array again, to deliver divine punishment, but the Shadow of Chu Jiang spoke leisurely from the opposite side.
"No need to trouble yourself. Since you want me dead, then I shall die."
He tilted his head, smiling, and his body began to disintegrate from the limbs, transforming into tiny points of light.
"But though I am about to die, to be buried in a coffin, I must still finish the interrupted words with my decaying voice."
"The new era’s Divinity Transformations are indeed skilled, but... Taixu Illusion Realm is only part of my trump card. I must sacrifice my life, supplemented by that offshoot of the Primordial Dao, to reveal the truly complete trump card."
As he spoke, the body of Chu Jiang’s Shadow completely turned into points of light.
The speed was so fast that even if Star River Celestial Monarch wanted to eliminate him before his suicide, she would have been too late.
Moreover... whether killed by another or by suicide, the outcome seemed unchangeable.
"After your shadow suicides, what will happen?"
Star River Celestial Monarch sharply turned her gaze to Chu Lanxi, with unprecedented urgency in her tone.
And Chu Lanxi’s expression was similarly troubled.
"This guy... seems to have fused the offshoot of the Primordial Dao with Taixu Illusion Realm long ago."
"Just now, he sacrificed himself to the Primordial Dao to detonate Taixu Illusion Realm."
"With the backing of the Primordial Dao offshoot, Taixu Illusion Realm will transform into a real world, dragging the entire Blue Star Federation into it."
"Reaching that point, merely formatting the data of Taixu Illusion Realm will make the planet beneath our feet and all the living beings on it vanish completely."
Chu Lanxi’s tone also carried a hint of bewilderment.
Back then he died so quickly, he didn’t know anything about the Primordial Dao until a dozen minutes ago when he was located within the Tribulation Moon Pearl and learned this intelligence.
Therefore, prior to this, he had no idea Taixu Illusion Realm had undergone such a bizarre mutation, nor did he imagine the Fake Chu Jiang possessed the capability to wipe out the entire Federation in an instant.
