Chapter 402

Three switches with completely mismatched shapes, appearances, and even power attributes hovered beside Jiang Xia; at this moment, another Fourze Driver was properly worn on his waist.

This is the power of the panel; as long as you've come into contact with it and transformed, you can copy its functions. Of course, he had never taken it out before, except now.

"How does the teacher have another Fourze Driver? According to the information transmitted from inside the Core Switch, Father should have only made one."

Ge Xing Xian Wu's eyes turned blue, and after carefully sensing the driver on Jiang Xia's waist, the returned result also confirmed that what Jiang Xia took out was genuine; the Core Child can likewise perform spatial jumps through it.

Of course he immediately understood as well; given Jiang Xia's knowledge of machinery and cosmic energy, as long as he had the data of the Fourze Driver, he could at any time manufacture another identical one.

Moreover, the data of Fourze had indeed always been stored in the Jade Rabbit Cabin; the Fourze Driver leans toward technology, and the combat power of its user actually largely depends on the Astronomical Switch.

The more powerful the Astronomical Switch one possesses, the greater the power they can exert.

Compared to another set of Drivers, those who now understand the Fourze system are more concerned about how to use these three completely different switches via the Driver.

You should know that even if one could solve the problem of the three powers conflicting, there is still no interface; the Core Switch and the Constellation Switch are merely switches, and beneath them there is no shape like that of the Astronomical Switch.

You can't even force them in, let alone use them.

But these are not problems; as long as these three things are made of cosmic energy, Jiang Xia can convert cosmic energy into a special Earth Astronomical Switch, and naturally adjusting these things is not difficult.

When he was deconstructing the data of the Fourze Driver, he discovered its compatibility was astonishingly high; not only could it accommodate the data of the Constellation Switch, but the Meteor system could also coexist.

Moreover, after he finished adjusting the Core Switch, he also possessed an important ability.

"Then let me see the ultimate of cosmic power."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, his body suddenly burst out with dazzling light; the three specially shaped switches of different forms, under the illumination of the light, underwent rapid changes.

They turned into a base similar to the Astronomical Switch, transformed into flowing light like stars falling down, and finally merged into one.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Transform!"

A dazzling golden light pillar burst onto the horizon; the entire beach instantly turned into brilliant gold, and everyone's silhouettes were bathed in this golden light.

The pain on the bodies of the few who had been defeated by Sagittarius was disappearing at breakneck speed, and even the ground that had already turned to scorched earth seemed to be revived by this power.

Emerald green, deep blue, blood red—three different-colored rays followed closely, twining around this huge golden light pillar.

These three differently colored light pillars clearly represent the cosmic power that has accumulated for years above the Kyoto Void, the Core Switch of the Bestower, and the Constellation Switch developed by the Hope of Brightness that possesses the power of the Twelve Constellations officers.

Terrifying energy shocks kept expanding outward, while Ge Xing Xian Wu, who had just awakened the power of the Core Child, discovered that the power within his own body was being drawn away at an astonishing speed.

"Is it because of the teacher?"

Ge Xing Xian Wu felt his power draining away, and instead of stopping it, he used his authority as the Core Child to violently pour all that originally belonged to him into the Core Switch.

He knew the consequences of doing this, so he did it without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the cosmic energy within Ge Xing Xian Wu's body vanished, leaving not a trace, all absorbed by Jiang Xia.

Having lost his power, Ge Xing Xian Wu felt his body suddenly lighten; his formerly frail physique became strong in the blink of an eye, and his previous dizziness and near-death sensations all disappeared.

In fact, Ge Xing Xian Wu's body didn't become stronger; rather, at this moment his body finally returned to the physique of a normal high school student.

Immediately afterward, the light pillars covered in different colors all turned white and shot straight up into the clouds.

By now night had already fallen; overhead lay the Milky Way spanning the sky, and each star representing the twelve zodiac constellations linked together, turning into sparkling gems that symbolized the constellations, encircling the firmament and clustering around that white-gold light pillar.

This beautiful and vast scene made everyone hold their breath; they gazed up at the shimmering stars, a shocking sight like astronauts who, for the first time, boarded a crewed rocket and observed Earth in its entirety from close up in space.

That overwhelming shock, which completely occupied the mind and suppressed every thought in the brain, was so vast and magnificent that it could make one forget everything they possessed, leaving only the posture of submission to offer applause for such a scene.

"Is that, then, the limit of cosmic power?"

The Hope of Brightness, who had originally been blown away by Ge Xing Xian Wu and whose whole body was engulfed in flames, likewise lifted his head to gaze at the light pillar capable of swallowing everything, feeling an indescribable emotion filling his heart.

That feeling was like a tide of reflected starlight, constantly washing over his heart.

In the galaxy, who knows how many light-years away, at the moment the white light pillar rose, the stars shaped like a yellow dragon winding across the horizon likewise linked together.

This stellar dragon is composed of seventeen stars; now its fourteenth star suddenly shone, emitting an immensely powerful force that surged toward Earth, and within just a few seconds it had enveloped that pure white light pillar, as well as Jiang Xia.

This stellar dragon, in ancient times, was called Xuanyuan!

"Boom!"

The light faded, revealing gold and black armor; the side skirts swayed backward with the rising wind, and the symbols of the twelve constellations appeared one after another on the outer armor. Dark-gold plating flowed with starlight, the sharp protrusions on the shoulders like curved blades, and the scarlet eyes revealed that imagined menace.

If it weren't for the Fourze Driver still hanging from his waist, one might not recognize this as the knight originally designed after a rocket; the current knight's armor bears no trace of a rocket head whatsoever.

"Really unexpected—even the power inside my body is joining in." Jiang Xia clenched his palms, and his bones throughout his body emitted a slight cracking sound.

He slightly raised his head, looking at the star shining on the ecliptic in the night sky, gave a light chuckle, and said, "Not bad."

And the Hope of Brightness, who had just been lost in that grand spectacle, saw Jiang Xia suddenly regain clarity, let out a roar, and the eyes of the Twelve Constellations officers who had been blown away flashed scarlet; the cosmic energy power they possessed erupted at that moment.

"Teacher, we'll help you." The recovered Ruyue Xian Tairan and Shuotian Liu Xing rushed to Jiang Xia's sides, like guards beside an emperor, protecting him.

"No need, I'll handle it myself; even if all the Twelve Constellations officers combined, they're no match for me." Jiang Xia said lightly.

How could a battle have no opponent? Now that this ultimate violence is in his grasp, of course he wants to give it a try.

The two obeyed and stepped aside.

The copy of Sagittarius suddenly drew his bow; a fiery-red arrow instantly condensed into substance on his arm and shot out at the present Jiang Xia.

This is an order issued by the Hope of Brightness; after the initial shock, he quickly regained clarity, realizing that without eliminating the Jiang Xia before him, he likewise could not smoothly open the Dark Nebula.

Jiang Xia looked at this crimson arrow; it seems that even as merely a copy, this arrow's power could easily defeat the cosmic-form Fourze. This is a gap in hard strength, not something a copy can avoid.

"The techniques of the Twelve Constellations are useless against me."

Jiang Xia didn't move at all; the fiery arrow struck him head-on, yet not even the slightest spark flew off—like a drop of water falling into the sea, unable to raise a ripple.

Following that came the various energy assaults launched by the Twelve Constellations officers, but whether it was Aries' drowsy mist or Cancer's soul severing, they had no effect whatsoever.

"I've said it before—attacks based on cosmic energy will be nullified." The dark light flowing over his body blocked all the attacks, causing no harm.

These attacks are meaningless; even a regular Star Disciple, let alone the awakened Ge Xing Xian Wu, can't do anything against them, much less the present Jiang Xia.

It is a layer of mobile protection made of cosmic energy; before the protective net is broken, no one can truly harm him.

Virgo's twisted black hole didn't even scratch the skin.

Capricorn's sound wave attack was directly deflected.

Gemini's card bomb didn't even get a chance to detonate.

In a short time, Jiang Xia endured seven or eight powerful attacks, because ordinary attacks simply had no effect, but I Hope Light didn't expect that even his ultimate move wouldn't work.

He tried to use the method of dripping water wears away stone to injure Jiang Xia, even just needing to reveal a tiny flaw to create a perfect attack opportunity that could let him succeed right from birth, but now however. Star Disciple army exerted all their strength, every attack hit without missing, but not even a splash of water was raised.

I Hope Light now finally understands what it means to be unsolvable; having the core switch and the twelve zodiac signs is enough to render all his efforts futile.

But using special abilities in battle is only one aspect; more importantly, he can rely on his own body for close combat, and upon discovering that energy attacks are useless, he instantly changed his fighting style.

Under I Hope Light's command, the remaining twelve zodiac officials instantly charged toward Jiang Xia.

Actually the fastest among them is Sagittarius, who represents extreme speed among the constellations, so he is also the first to rush to Jiang Xia's front.

Facing the incoming copy of Sagittarius, the knight who possesses overwhelming power simply clenched his fist, a layer of flowing fire light filled Jiang Xia's right fist, like constantly surging magma.

The next moment, the Sagittarius who was the first to rush to his front was hit within one ten-thousandth of a second.

The tremendous impact surged out, giving him no time to react; that light punch even produced a powerful sonic boom, the speed of the swing far exceeding the speed of sound.

The dark gold energy ripple from the impact directly blasted the Star Disciples behind Sagittarius away; they couldn't even withstand the aftershock of Jiang Xia's casual combat.

The next second, the copy of Sagittarius's body shot up into the sky, not of his own will, but blown away by Jiang Xia's punch.

He kept spinning in the air, huge wind pressure spreading in all directions, and Sagittarius's body continuously emitted crisp cracking sounds.

After who knows how many turns in midair, it exploded with a boom.

The spreading flames and thunderous roar woke many people who had fallen asleep.

This is the peak of cosmic power; the energy from the Dark Nebula capable of destroying the surface is completely gathered into a two-meter-tall human body, so of course this effect occurs.

Next, Virgo's wings spread in midair, taking advantage of flight, like a giant bird lunging at Jiang Xia on the ground.

Watching the oncoming Virgo, Jiang Xia's eyes flashed red, he opened his palm, and slammed it onto the Virgo whose wings were already spread in midair.

A piercing sound began to ring out; suddenly dark red energy appeared on Jiang Xia's body, which condensed into a fully dark red blood bat, emitting a howling screech, turning into countless blood lines that instantly enveloped the beautiful Virgo.

And the staff in Virgo's hand instantly burst forth with spatial power; a dark red spiral completely enveloped him.

He wanted to use teleportation to avoid these blood bats, but just as Jiang Xia said from the start, doing so is meaningless.

Those blood bats were like prophets; no matter where Virgo moved, they would cling to him tightly.

Where the blood bats swept across, the Virgo who was about to move again suddenly let out a tragic cry; his cherry-red body instantly gained countless black lines, and his originally white wings were bitten full of large holes, with white feathers scattering.

The second-strongest Virgo hardly made any effective attack before his body was already riddled with holes.

Above the sky, even Virgo's final tragic cry disappeared.

In an instant, the air shook again; Virgo's body exploded into metal fragments smaller than a fingernail, falling down with firelight from midair.

At the same time, the firelight from the explosion also illuminated Libra's dull eyes.

This can no longer be considered human, right?

Even if Libra is this desperate, the battle is not over yet.

"Supernova!"

In Jiang Xia's slightly surprised gaze, most of the constellations suddenly had white light balls appear before them, then activated Supernova.

There are two ways to activate Supernova: one is to comprehend it oneself, the other is to be granted it by I Hope Light.

Now most of them activated it at the same time; it seems I Hope Light really went all out this time.

Cancer's body suddenly expanded, two pairs of huge pincers flung open, and lunged at Jiang Xia to cut him.

But just as it was about to attack Jiang Xia, the body of the seven- or eight-meter-tall Cancer Nova suddenly froze, like a wind-up toy that lost its spring, just standing there.

Because Jiang Xia's hand was pressing right beneath the Cancer Nova, the next moment Gold Light burst forth, blasting a huge hole in Cancer's incredibly hard carapace.

Just like eating a crab, the first step is to cut along the middle; now the Cancer Nova is that crab that has been cut open.

Jiang Xia, emanating dark gold light from his body, directly tore the Cancer Nova in half from beneath; the forcibly torn Cancer Nova screamed and howled, finally exploding.

Jiang Xia hovered in midair, looking down at the various strange Star Disciples who had entered Supernova; he raised his hands encased in dark gold armor, and the Sagittarius starlight on his body suddenly brightened, as a half-human, half-horse drawing a bow phantom instantly appeared upon him.

In the void, firelight permeated, flowing along mysterious trajectories, and under the power of Sagittarius starlight, it condensed again.

"Swish!"

Clearly he was grasping at nothing, but in the end he actually seized a real object—a bow.
