Chapter 650: Stellar Body

Haosen had already launched his attack within his own Death Fire domain. Not only would he not be affected, but he also possessed a constant stream of power; this was his world.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...

Void Slashes bombarded Li Hao one after another. Only when the Void Slashes tore through the flames could the two figures be revealed. Haosen's Star Ring had a range of about one hundred meters; it was almost impossible to escape such a large area. Moreover, the Star Ring was the eyes of the Spirit. Li Hao was completely within Haosen's grasp and had to open his own Star Ring to resist.

The crushing pressure of a Star Ring Warrior against one who did not possess a Star Ring was an insurmountable chasm. Of course, everyone believed that Li Hao must possess a Star Ring. From his defeat of the Orc to Cheng Konghai's performance, Li Hao surely possessed such power. Haosen continued to attack from within the Star Ring while also remaining on guard.

However, he had not felt his opponent's Star Ring the entire time. Some attacks were blocked, others missed, but something was very strange.

Why?

Why wasn't his Spirit being scorched?

That was impossible. Once a Star Ring was opened, even if it were Death Fire, it should be ignited. The Yimogu Family had experimented with this internally long ago; no one understood Death Fire better than they did.

Unless what he was using wasn't Death Fire at all?

Clang~~

"Blood Moon" once again parried the Bone Skeleton Greatsword. "What exactly are you? Why can you resist Death Fire!"

Haosen's sharp voice rang out. The Death Fire, which had always been invincible, had actually been countered. This person could not be left alive; he had to die!

Li Hao sensed the other's killing intent and smiled slightly. "You'll have to ask Defatandisi about that."

"Fine! Fine!"

"I'll deal with him after I finish you!" Haosen let out a roar, his figure flickering as he suddenly vanished. His resentment toward Cthulhu in his heart reached its limit; he had long heard that Cthulhu of the Seventh Art was the most despicable and insidious, and to think he had actually set his sights on him.

The next moment, Haosen had already left his own Star Ring, while Li Hao remained trapped within it. The Star Ring began to contract, and intense Black Fire began to condense. This was the ability of Haosen's Star Ring...

"Death Fire Hell!"

As the Star Ring contracted, the Death Fire brewing inside was also constantly compressed. Power churned; after energy was excessively condensed, it would produce the most terrifying collapse. All life would be extinguished in this collapse.

Haosen watched grimly, manipulating the Star Ring. The opponent was resisting, but such resistance was completely useless. The Star Ring was a domain; one either resisted from the very beginning to prevent the other from establishing dominance, or, now that it was completely controlled, even if Li Hao possessed a repelling Star Ring, it was too late.

Everyone looked up at the massive black fireball in the sky, which had been compressed to about five meters. Power rolled at high speed inside the fireball, and a human shape could vaguely be seen...

Wudai, Demaerke, and other allies of Haosen all revealed brilliant, gratified smiles. It was still up to Haosen to take action. Once Li Hao was dealt with, they would find a way to kill the remaining two, no matter who was behind them.

Kuta held Aoliweina's hand tightly; his palms were already covered in sweat. He didn't know what was wrong with Li Ge either. Star Ring confrontation had to be contested from the start; how could one react afterward? Could it be that Li Ge didn't understand the key to Spirit combat?

Aoliweina had fought alongside Li Hao, especially having seen Li Hao's methods for dealing with the Assassination Star. She was much more composed than Kuta, but... she couldn't understand it!

This strange creature, the Human, had actually exceeded her scope of understanding.

The black ball of light had already been compressed to three meters. It wouldn't be long before the energy overloaded; Li Hao would either be swallowed by the Death Fire or completely annihilated by the Death Fire collapse, his Spirit and soul destroyed, leaving not a single scrap behind.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy. Haosen's eyes were wild; this was only the beginning. Once a spark of resistance appeared, it had to be suppressed twofold.

Because he wanted to make a good impression on Hermia, he had gone soft, but from now on, anyone who obstructed him would be killed without mercy!

"Die!"

Haosen's body shook, his left hand suddenly clenched, and the black ball of light contracted sharply. But at this very moment, in the middle of the black

ball of light, a point of golden brightness burst out, piercing straight through. Following that, rays of golden light, like the radiance of a star, punctured the blockade of the Star Ring.

"Poof~"

The Death Fire collapse did occur, but a figure burning with golden light appeared at the center of the collapse. Li Hao floated in the air, his Universe Power released, spreading out with an indescribable aura that blanketed the entire field, suppressing everyone present.

Li Hao wiped his mouth. How should he put it?

Haosen still had some substance. The Celestial's combat techniques were mediocre, but they had unique insights into the application of the Spirit. He could mimic abilities by changing the fluctuations of soul power; he really hadn't thought of this move. It truly contained an understanding of the application of Death Fire. One could call the Celestial's superior power a "big move" style.

Interesting.

The Sergeants of the Judgment Anthem looked up at that golden figure, momentarily unable to tell who the higher civilization was. Why was the Death Fire useless? It was said that only the Dragon Race could resist it.

With a flash, Haosen, burning with Death Fire, appeared behind Li Hao, his greatsword slashing down with full force. He didn't know what kind of thing Li Hao was, but he, Haosen Yimogu, was the invincible War God.

Clang...

Li Hao caught Haosen's greatsword with one hand without even turning his head. For a moment, the situation reached a stalemate, a feeling that left everyone below dumbfounded.

Was that Haosen?

Haosen felt his opponent's disregard. Thinking of Hermia being right there, various emotions erupted in his heart instantly. He let out a low roar, Universe Power surged wildly, and the rolling Death Fire emitted eerie ghost wails and wolf howls, as if countless wronged souls were being torn apart.

Yimogu... Hundred Ghosts Death Soul Tremor!

However, this invincible Spirit attack had no effect on Li Hao whatsoever, unable to even break through that golden light. And the golden light was pressing against the Death Fire, beginning to invade.

Haosen's heart skipped a beat. Was it that strange Spirit confrontation again?

Particle Cannon mounts appeared on the shoulders of his battle armor, unleashing a wild barrage at the point of contact between the two.

Boom—!

Particle Cannons would not have much effect on a complete Heavenly Martial with Universe Power reinforcement, but it blasted the two out of their stalemate. Haosen broke out in a cold sweat; this was the first time since the start of the battle that he had felt danger.

He opened his Star Ring and used his Heavenly Eye to observe, but when he looked at Li Hao, he found him to be like a scorching star...

"Stellar Body?"

"The legendary strongest Spirit body constitution of the Celestial. Why would it appear on a Human?"

"The ultimate atavism of a Seed Civilization?" But it rarely appeared in Celestial history; the last one was Emperor Augustus.

In history, every Stellar Body was a powerful figure who stirred up the winds and clouds; they were either emperors or demons, all legends.

Hermia stared blankly at Li Hao in the sky, who was radiating golden light and an aura like a star. She had seen such a scene in her father's records: the aura of an emperor. By comparison, the Death Fire of the Yimogu civilization exuded an insidious and mysterious quality that made one feel disgusted.

Haosen was also stunned. The Yimogu Family was all too familiar with this kind of Stellar Body. It was also what the family "hated" most, because they had always been suppressed and compared by such power. Previously, they were the hired thugs for this kind of power, doing the dirty work, but now that they had finally turned the tables and become the masters, once they discovered such power, they would do everything in their power to nip it in the bud. Fortunately, such power was extremely rare, even in the Heavenly Human World.

Back then, Emperor Augustus used his travels through the Star River and his dashing, unrestrained nature to cover it up. By the time the Stellar Body reached perfection, the Yimogu Family could do nothing and dared not act rashly. They thought imperial centralization would appear again, but who would have thought a mishap would occur? Augustus fell into the Creation Pillar. What did this mean? The Yimogu's fortune had arrived.

The era of the Mogu ruling as emperors was about to come, but what was this?

Ning Long, Defatandisi, Aoliweina, Didiao, and Fronzo were all stunned. Fronzo had always wanted to decipher Li Hao's soul essence; he actually had a feeling, but it didn't quite seem like it, and he instinctively believed that a Stellar Body with the peerless bearing of a Celestial could not appear on a Human.

But now, this was a complete Stellar Body, and it was even different; it was very likely even more... than Emperor Augustus. Li Hao's aptitude, because ordinary Stellar Bodies didn't have such transformative abilities.

A Star Ring, which Li Hao said he wouldn't use, exploded, and a Death Fire Star Ring enveloped Haosen. In an instant, Death Fire crisscrossed. After surrounding Haosen, Li Hao's figure appeared on the ground.

Using his own way to pay him back, he wanted to see how Haosen would break his own method of attack.

It's nothing, I'm just learning from him; I didn't intend to kill Haosen, Helena would be fine too.

Xilian didn't offer that price either.

Haosen had fallen into his own Death Fire vortex, his heart filled with rage as he felt the Death Fire

scorching and eroding him. Although he understood it very well, this scorching had an active, aggressive consciousness;

in other words, only someone who is also a Death Fire body can resist it. It's fucking identical—he learned it after being attacked just once?

Everyone below was watching the Star Ring Dead Sea in the air; it was almost exactly the same as the one Haosen released,

and if one had to point out a difference, this one was even stronger.

Defatandisi did not look at Haosen but instead stared at Li Hao. Haosen was no longer a threat; he actually hoped Li Hao would finish off Haosen. Perhaps he was wrong; he shouldn't have given Li Hao any chance and should have dealt with him from the very beginning. This was... the real trouble.

Haosen naturally knew the power of this move of his; if a Death Fire collapse truly formed, there would be nothing left. Accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar, two Star Rings appeared on Haosen's body, forming an X

intersection. The two Star Rings spun crazily, forming layers of Death Fire inner-rotation. If it were only one Star Ring, it would be too late to resist by now, but the exponential increase brought by the power of two Star Rings allowed Haosen to establish an internal core and block the Death Fire collapse.

Boom...

Zouhuo splashed out like black raindrops, scattering everywhere. Everywhere it touched turned gray and withered. Everyone scrambled to defend themselves in their own ways; if this stuff stuck to you, you'd have a hole burned through you if you weren't careful. It was extremely disgusting.

Gasimi actually took a bit of it head-on, and it burned her little pigtails into a mess. It took quite a while to extinguish the Death

Fire. Haosen, with two Star Rings protecting his body, displayed the strength of the number one in the genius tier. He gripped the Bone Skeleton Greatsword with both hands, his inner rage and terror reaching their peak. His opponent was still toying with him even now, not even using his own attack style at all. And damn it, didn't he say he hadn't activated his Star Rings?

Li Hao looked at Haosen in the air and smiled slightly, his right hand resting on Blood Moon. "Haosen, this is the final strike; if you don't use your ultimate move, you won't have another chance." His voice sounded relaxed and didn't carry any strong hostility, yet it sounded strange to everyone's ears. But after a moment of daze, they realized he truly possessed such strength. Golden Universe Power covered the Blood Moon in his hand, which actually began to hum and vibrate. Haosen's eyes turned green with envy.

Weapon resonance.
