Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 671 - 295: Star Fusion Light Technique (Part 4)

Inside, an eerie silence prevailed, making it seem like the members of the Celestial Star Upper Sect had decided to hunker down within the formation and refuse to step out.

Ning Qi turned to the Sword Ancestor and asked, "Sword Ancestor, should we give it another shot this time?"

During their previous clash at the Feather Transformation Upper Sect, the Sword Ancestor had unleashed his sword against the formation; a single blow couldn't shatter it, but several more strikes would have done the trick.

That's why Ning Qi took the initiative to ask, checking if the Sword Ancestor still wanted to take a swing.

The Sword Ancestor replied, "Kid, why don't you handle it? I'll guard the rear and maintain the formation."

Ning Qi found himself at a loss for words.

He was just about to act when abruptly, three figures burst from the Celestial Star Upper Sect's grand formation—none other than the three Tang Mankong brothers.

Tang Mankong was the first to speak: "Ning Qi, the Southern True Domain is expansive enough for numerous sects. Do you truly have to wipe us out entirely?"

Ning Qi answered with cold indifference:

"How can you talk like that so naively? Back in the Profound Truth Secret Realm, your Celestial Star Upper Sect targeted our sect's two elders and me, trying to wipe us out because of your superior power. Now that the situation has flipped, you're the one preaching logic?"

Tang Mankong paused, uncertain.

At that time, they had been in secluded cultivation and missed all the details.

Still, they were well aware of the Celestial Star Upper Sect's usual tactics—as a premier Upper Sect, while the Infinite Sword Sect was just a regular one. In the Profound Truth Secret Realm, when the two sects crossed paths, the strong devoured the weak, leaving no mercy for the Infinite Sword Sect's folks.

From behind him, Tang Yinghuo snapped in fury, "Big brother, what's the point of wasting words on him! Since he ignores our goodwill, let's unleash the Secret Technique we've grasped across countless years!"

"Secret Technique?"

On Ning Qi's side, curiosity rippled through everyone.

What sort of Secret Technique did these three possess that could challenge Ning Qi?

Niu Dingtian and Kong Caichen both chimed in, "Younger Brother Ning, allow us to test them out first."

Ning Qi gave a nod.

With no choice left, the trio activated the Star Fusion Magic together.

In a flash, the scattered hundred beams of starlight hovering above the Celestial Star Upper Sect's formation started to shift, wrapping around the three figures.

Rule Divine Chains burst from each of them, weaving together and drawing in the starlight from the skies nearby.

Within moments, the three vanished, only for a colossal figure cloaked in starlight to emerge in their place.

This giant towered at ten zhang, its features mirroring Tang Mankong's, clearly under his command.

Niu Dingtian and Kong Caichen rushed at the giant, but midway, a fearsome wave pulsed from it.

Starlight flared outward, its presence quaking the heavens and rippling in all directions, nearly repelling the two demons' advance.

"Half-step Unity Realm?" the two demons cried out in shock.

The disciples from both sects felt this overwhelming pressure too, exchanging terrified glances.

The Sword Ancestor's face shifted, gripping his Spirit Sword as he urged Ning Qi, "Ning, move fast! Their power isn't settled yet; we can't let it build any further."

With those words, he launched his sword without delay.

A semi-transparent sword beam, stretching ten thousand meters, tore across the void with razor sharpness, slamming straight into the giant's body.

Though the giant's aura intimidated greatly, something felt amiss about it, and it couldn't fully resist the strike.

The sword beam rattled the giant, burrowing into its form, but halted after just half a meter.

The Sword Ancestor clenched his jaw, channeling boundless Sword Intent into the attack, drawing on One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques and Sword Dao to push it another half meter forward.

Yet, considering the giant's immense bulk, this only carved a shallow gash into its outer layer.

The starlight surrounding the giant intensified, gleaming from a distance like an isolated cosmos.

It even repelled the Sword Ancestor's sword beam outright, as the giant's huge palms clapped together to snuff it out in an instant.

A trace of blood seeped from the Sword Ancestor's mouth, his mind and soul trembling.

He had committed every bit of his Spiritual Qi, Primordial Spirit, Rule, and Sword Dao into that blow, facing such resistance for the very first time.

Meanwhile, Niu Dingtian and Kong Caichen didn't stand idle; they grasped the urgency, realizing they had to disrupt the trio before their aura fully settled.

The two demons shifted into their massive true forms, with Niu Dingtian unveiling his Qiu Niu Divine Form and barreling toward the starlight giant at full force.

Kong Caichen took to the air, its tail glowing with five colors that fused as one, coiling like a drawn bow before launching as a divine arrow.

The demons' assaults struck nearly at the same moment, but with a mere step, the starlight giant warped light and shadow, bending space itself around it.

That single stride hurled Niu Dingtian away.

The kick dispersed Niu Dingtian's Qiu Niu Divine Form, shrinking his colossal demon body as blood sprayed everywhere in flight.

At the same time, Kong Caichen's five-colored divine arrow clashed against a star shield conjured in the giant's grasp, bouncing back swiftly to pierce through the peacock demon's body on the spot.

He tumbled backward helplessly, like a game bird struck by an archer's shot.

Only Ning Qi had yet to strike.

The Sword Ancestor and the two demons turned to Ning Qi, their gazes urgent; why hadn't he joined the fray?

Right then, the starlight giant let out booming laughter, its aura locking into place at last.

"Haha, Ning Qi, has fear frozen you? Too bad, begging for talks now won't save you!"

The starlight giant aimed a finger at Ning Qi, a blinding starlight gathering at the tip, sharp enough to blind.

All onlookers saw a blinding white flash, momentarily blinding their sight and dulling their Primordial Spirit senses.

Zzzt zzzt!

A chilling screech echoed, like scraping against bones, as the starlight blasted straight toward Ning Qi!
