Chapter 189: Jun Xiaoyao Battles Wuji Star Lord

"Hm?"

Ye Xingyun—no, at this moment he should be called Wuji Star Lord—lifted his gaze forward.

Two people and a beast walked forward calmly.

It was Jun Xiaoyao, Yi Yu, and the Nine-Headed Lion.

"No wonder Wuji Star Lord once made a name for himself in the Immortal Realm—this kind of skill truly opens one's eyes," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

To be honest, Jun Xiaoyao had initially almost believed Ye Xingyun might be Wuji Star Lord's reincarnation.

But later, he realized things might not be so simple.

Mo Fan's appearance only deepened Jun Xiaoyao's suspicions.

Now, at last, Jun Xiaoyao's doubts were resolved.

It turned out that both Ye Xingyun and Mo Fan were merely pawns in Wuji Star Lord's hands.

Ye Xingyun thought he was Wuji Star Lord's reincarnated body, but he was nothing more than a puppet.

Mo Fan believed he was the destined hero of the Star Continent, but he, too, was part of Wuji Star Lord's design.

If one were to speak truly, Wuji Star Lord himself should be the true destined hero of the Star Continent.

Mo Fan was merely a false protagonist.

And now, the hidden hand pulling the strings from behind the scenes had finally surfaced.

Wuji Star Lord looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his expression still carrying the condescending arrogance of superiority.

Jun Xiaoyao was indeed powerful among the younger generation, and his status was high.

But this was the Mortal Realm—the Star Continent.

This was Wuji Star Lord's home turf.

Wuji Star Lord was once a supreme powerhouse who dominated his era—how could he fear a mere young upstart?

"The Ancient Jun Clan's Jun Xiaoyao—I've studied Ye Xingyun's memories and now know you are a formidable figure."

"A primal holy body has the merit to follow me."

Jun Xiaoyao's astonishing talent made even a great figure like Wuji Star Lord secretly taken aback.

Especially after scanning Ye Xingyun's memories.

Wuji Star Lord could sense that Ye Xingyun had felt near-terror toward Jun Xiaoyao.

This indirectly revealed just how great Jun Xiaoyao's reputation was among the younger generation of the Immortal Realm.

Yet upon hearing this, Yi Yu's brows shot up and he roared: "How dare you speak so boldly to my Young Master? Impudent!"

He drew his bow and loosed an arrow wreathed in Solar True Fire, surging forth like a fire dragon, rippling the void.

Wuji Star Lord's expression remained calm.

Though he had now possessed Ye Xingyun's body, he was still a once-mighty supreme being—how could he lack any means at all?

"You also wield a bow?"

Wuji Star Lord reached out, and the shattered Star-Slaying Bow beside the Star Throne flew to him automatically, landing in his hand.

Wuji Star Lord drew the bowstring, unleashing Ye Xingyun's Star Sovereign Body power to its utmost.

The power of the Nine Heavens' stars converged into a brilliant arrow of starlight, shooting forth violently.

One arrow shattered Yi Yu's arrow and shot straight at him.

"How is this possible?" Yi Yu exclaimed.

He was an heir of the Yi Clan, bearing the Divine Yi Bloodline.

To be suppressed in archery—this was the first time.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao clenched his five fingers into a fist, divine energy surging as he punched forward, cracking the very void.

The starlight arrow was instantly shattered into countless glowing specks.

"A supreme elder attacking a young junior—is that appropriate?" Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao dispel his attack with a single punch, Wuji Star Lord's eyes grew even deeper.

If this were Wuji Star Lord's true body, Jun Xiaoyao—even with his prodigious talent—could never defeat him.

But now, it was merely a fragment of Wuji Star Lord's residual soul, possessing Ye Xingyun's body.

No matter how many techniques or how strong Wuji Star Lord was, he was still bound by Ye Xingyun's physical form.

This was why Jun Xiaoyao remained so composed.

He was not afraid of Wuji Star Lord.

"No wonder you're a primal holy body—I'm almost tempted to possess you myself," Wuji Star Lord said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

In this life, he intended to enter the Ten Realms Rift, ascend the Spirit Altar, and forge a path no one before him had walked.

Thus, for him, a stronger body was always better.

Only by surviving could he possibly carve out such a path.

So Wuji Star Lord now had a new idea.

"Heh, then try it," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with cold light.

Wuji Star Lord dared to set his sights on him—he clearly didn't know how to write the word "death."

"Die!" Yi Yu and the Nine-Headed Lion both bristled, ready to strike.

"Let me handle him—you can't deal with him," Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward.

Though Yi Yu and the Nine-Headed Lion were both powerful, they were still too young compared to a seasoned veteran like Wuji Star Lord.

Jun Xiaoyao held the Pan Huang Age Sword, like an ancient sword immortal exiled to the mortal world.

He radiated an otherworldly aura of immortality and Dao rhythm.

He activated the Divine Elephant Subdue Hell Force, and demonic wings unfurled behind him; his body accelerated to extreme speed, charging straight at Wuji Star Lord.

"Daring to attack me directly? You have courage," Wuji Star Lord sneered coldly.

He was, after all, a supreme being—even now, possessing only Ye Xingyun's body, his strength was far beyond any ordinary young prodigy.

Wuji Star Lord drew his bow nine times in succession; nine star arrows lined up in a straight chain, blasting toward Jun Xiaoyao.

It was the Nine Stars in a Row technique.

Jun Xiaoyao's magic power surged violently, flooding into the Pan Huang Age Sword in his hand.

He swept his sword, infusing it with the Slaying Immortal Sword Art.

Instantly, images of fallen immortals manifested in the void; the sword slashed through space, its aura surging.

The sword light, steeped in the aura of time, annihilated all nine star arrows at once.

Jun Xiaoyao advanced, swinging his sword in one hand while forming the War Strike Seal with the other.

A vast flood of divine weapons surged forth, filling the entire hall.

Jun Xiaoyao's overwhelming assault caused Wuji Star Lord's eyes to flicker—he was clearly taken aback.

Yet Wuji Star Lord's expression remained calm; he formed a hand seal and slammed it forward, sending a massive silver mountain-like seal rumbling toward Jun Xiaoyao.

The ten thousand divine weapons were instantly shattered by the seal.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao activated the Divine Elephant Subdue Hell Force; his blood surged like a volcanic eruption.

Above his head, a solid golden divine elephant appeared, letting out a deafening roar that shook the entire Star Palace.

He raised his sword, unleashing 3. billion jin of divine strength; this single slash threatened to shatter all heavens.

Even Wuji Star Lord, who had maintained a calm and composed expression, now changed color.

Cracks began to form in the space around Jun Xiaoyao.

These cracks appeared because Jun Xiaoyao's physical strength was so immense it nearly shattered the limits of space's endurance.

"Even a primal holy body shouldn't possess such physical strength?" Wuji Star Lord was astonished.

He had dominated his era and seen countless young prodigies.

But never before had he seen one as monstrous as Jun Xiaoyao.

Worse, Wuji Star Lord had only just possessed Ye Xingyun's body—he hadn't fully synchronized with it, and could not yet unleash his full power.

Could it be that today, Wuji Star Lord would be defeated?
