Chapter 484

As long as the protection of the "Ancient Buddha's Lamp Umbrella" is broken and Xing Mie Xie's physical body is captured, Xing Mie Xie will naturally surrender.

"Fang Yu, you are indeed formidable. If this is the case, then I must win by unfair means. The power of the Cave Heaven, open for me!"

Seeing Fang Yu charging toward him to seize his body, Xing Mie Xie's expression changed—he was no fool—and immediately activated a Divine Ability to teleport away, then plunged his entire being into a state of unity with heaven and earth.

Puff.

Above the sky of the Qunxing Sect's Cave Heaven, countless shimmering stars suddenly appeared; the accumulated stellar power of the Qunxing Sect over countless years poured into Xing Mie Xie's divine body without restraint, and instantly his power surged upward in stages.

Facing Fang Yu's fierce assault, Xing Mie Xie actually used the power of the Qunxing Sect's Cave Heaven to counter him.

Since its creation, the Qunxing Sect's Cave Heaven has absorbed countless stellar forces, and its disciples within can harness this stellar power to augment themselves, allowing them to fight beyond their level.

But now, Xing Mie Xie, a Qunxing Sect cultivator of the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities who defied fate, summoned the Cave Heaven's stellar power to oppose Fang Yu.

Though this is unfair, the rules of the duel never explicitly forbade it.

Especially at this critical moment, Xing Mie Xie no longer cared—he would first use the terrain's advantage to defeat Fang Yu.

With his status and cultivation base, this full-scale mobilization of the Cave Heaven's stellar power instantly doubled his strength; his entire Primordial Spirit, formed of starlight, swelled wildly, towering over Fang Yu like a deity of the nine heavens gazing down at ants.

And the massive battle spear struck downward.

The void around Fang Yu continuously cracked open; yet at this moment, Fang Yu remained expressionless, punching straight at the spear descending from above.

Where this punch passed, countless black holes erupted—it was the terrifying power of the Great Devouring Art exploding, absorbing all force into nothingness.

"So powerful?"

Xing Mie Xie had not expected that even with the Cave Heaven's power augmenting him—equivalent to two of himself attacking Fang Yu—he still could not overcome Fang Yu.

"Regardless, I'll claim victory first! Vast power of heaven and earth, Qunxing Cave Heaven, augment me—swiftly, as the law commands!"

Xing Mie Xie raised his spear; boundless stellar force surged again, visible to the naked eye as celestial light, each beam stretching a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang, wrapping around Xing Mie Xie's body.

Chi!

The spear tip struck again.

Endless stellar force descended again, as if ancient star mountains crushed down from the heavens.

"Alas! Winning by unfair means!"

Watching this scene, the Star Punishment Elder and the Star Shifting Elder deep within the Qunxing Sect—the two eternal titans—sighed; though Xing Mie Xie might defeat Fang Yu this time, word of it would spread, and it would not be a cause for celebration—no one would praise Xing Mie Xie's strength, and many would instead commend Fang Yu's power.

"Even with the Cave Heaven's power, Senior Brother cannot instantly defeat Fang Yu—Fang Yu's strength is truly beyond comprehension!"

Wu Wu Zixu gazed at the distant battlefield and spoke.

"This Fang Yu has received too many miraculous encounters. Look at the Divine Ability he cultivates—it seems to be the legendary demonic supreme technique, the Great Devouring Art. Even among demonic experts, achieving success requires two or three hundred years; yet Fang Yu has already reached Great Perfection! Otherwise, how could Senior Brother's immense magic power still fail to subdue Fang Yu?"

The Second Senior Brother spoke.

This Second Senior Brother was also a blessed cultivator who had obtained a Dao Artifact, with extraordinary insight—he had traveled widely in his youth and recognized what those swirling black holes were.

It was the Great Devouring Art, one of the Three Thousand Great Paths!

Once perfected, it grants near-inherent invincibility.

The Great Devouring Art can devour all magic power, magic treasures, and alien true qi—its terror is boundless—but Fang Yu has directly cultivated it to Great Perfection.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Regardless, Senior Brother holds the upper hand, and he hasn't even unleashed his final move yet. If five million Heavenly Demons all exploded at once, could the Great Devouring Art absorb all that destructive force? I doubt Fang Yu could withstand it."

Hua Wumei said.

"Though Fang Yu is arrogant, we and the Yuhua Sect are still of the same root. If we unleash five million Heavenly Demons to explode just to defeat Fang Yu, we'll have trouble explaining it to the Yuhua Sect. Moreover, Fang Yu has never used his own Dao Artifact—I don't believe he lacks one. A man like him, who cultivated ninety-nine Divine Abilities in the Return to Oneness Realm, must possess a Dao Artifact."

The Fifth Senior Brother frowned in concern.

"Hmph, unless he has a mid-grade Dao Artifact, he can't withstand Senior Brother's attack!"

Yu Yu Tianhua snorted.

At that moment, Fang Yu's voice echoed from the void.

"Xing Mie Xie, your current strength is decent. You cannot force me into the Longevity Secret Realm—but I will force you into the Golden Core Realm!"

At this moment, Fang Yu spoke, and simultaneously, his Life Talisman, infused with ninety-nine Divine Abilities, condensed instantly.

In an instant, a phantom Golden Core rose slowly.

This phantom Golden Core was as large as a human head, adorned with emperors, flames, the great sun, wind and thunder, willow trees, sword-grass, gales, nature, cutting, slaughter, primordial essence, stellar power…

Especially, many of the stellar Divine Abilities activated together, forming the Ultimate Star Scripture; the moment it appeared, the stellar power of the Qunxing Sect's Cave Heaven involuntarily flowed into it.

How much stellar power had the Qunxing Sect's Cave Heaven accumulated over tens of thousands of years? Now it poured in recklessly into Fang Yu's Ultimate Star Scripture—even Xing Mie Xie's stellar power, his ancient deep mountain-like star spear, suddenly rushed into Fang Yu's Ultimate Scripture, becoming the power for Fang Yu's ascent into the Golden Core Realm.

"What?"
