CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 463: MORE DANGER THAN SAFETY_1

The Star of Celestial Machine vanished from the star map, and Song Jiang’s strength diminished significantly.

"Damn it!" He turned his head, glanced at the heavily injured Wu Yong, his face turning exceedingly grim. Outrage flared within him as he swung his battle sword into the air, launching thirty-five Star Swords.

"Shatter!" Soul Obsession commanded, his expression calm, effortlessly breaking the Sword Qi.

"Celestial Star Body, gather!" A ferocious glint flashed in Song Jiang’s eyes. Directly above him, the Star of Celestial Pivot formed thirty-four streams of star Qi, which drifted towards the other Celestial Stars, linking them together.

Gradually, the thirty-five Celestial Stars coalesced, revealing a vast Star Body that radiated world-destroying energy.

However, due to the absence of the Star of Celestial Machine, the Star Body was incomplete!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Within the army formation, the soldiers of the Star of Celestial Machine roared. Wisps of starlight drifted out from them, coalescing amidst the stars into a somewhat dimmer Star of Celestial Machine, completing the Star Body.

"Power of the Star Body, fuse!" Song Jiang roared. Behind him, the phantom of the Lord of the Star of Celestial Pivot emerged, tens of thousands of zhang tall, standing between Heaven and Earth, its divine power overwhelming and unfathomable.

"All the stars in the sky are mine!"

From the unseen, a profound voice echoed between Heaven and Earth.

The Lord of the Star of Celestial Pivot extended both hands. As the leader of the Celestial Stars, he guided the Celestial Star Body to fully merge into Song Jiang, who then burst forth with an indescribable aura.

"Slash!" Song Jiang raised his battle sword high.

Behind him, the phantom of the Lord of the Star of Celestial Pivot, wielding the boundless power of the stars, also formed a star sword and raised it high.

For a moment, Song Jiang was like the master of all stars, his divine power throwing Heaven and Earth into chaos.

The entire power of the Celestial Machine in the East Border was completely overturned, becoming indistinct.

"Sword of Wanxing!" Song Jiang bellowed, his voice a deafening, thunderous roar.

A stream of Sword Qi, carrying the power of the thirty-six Celestial Stars, gushed from his battle sword. It ripped apart the starry expanse, enveloping Soul Obsession with killing intent like the sky collapsing, annihilating everything.

Such an unusual attack! Soul Obsession was secretly shocked and hurriedly defended himself.

From within the roiling black qi, two white chains flew out. They carried the Power of the Great Path, forming an overwhelming force that surpassed all techniques, compelling all things to submit.

The power of the Five Elements, the Power of Reincarnation, the Power of Karma, the power of the Three Thousand Laws...

All retreated!

In the shattered Void, only the formless, traceless power of order maintained the void space.

BOOM!

The two attacks collided.

The more than six hundred Dao Domains in the East Border trembled violently once more. The East Ancient Domain, at the center of the battlefield, sank several tens of zhang under the pressure of countless shockwaves.

The star power and the Power of the Great Path split the sky equally!

Song Jiang’s eyes widened as he stared at the brilliant Sword Qi. His arm muscles bulged, and he gritted his teeth, struggling to hold on.

The continuous battles had also caused Soul Obsession’s breathing to become slightly ragged, yet he showed no signs of strain, handling the situation with ease.

Gradually, the star power was suppressed by the Power of the Great Path!

...

Meanwhile, the battle between Soul Heart and the Seventy-two Armies of Earth Evil officially commenced.

Zhu Wu floated in the air, clad in armor and wielding a spear. Behind him stood seventy-two Earth Sha Star Gods, exuding malevolence and murderous intent, all suffused with Earth Sha Star power.

Such a powerful formation! Soul Heart’s face was grim with vigilance, his eyes flickering. Even in the Primordial Era, there were no formations this terrifying. Where on earth did the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court acquire it? Streaks of the Power of the Great Path wrapped around his body.

"Fight!" Zhu Wu yelled coldly, augmenting the power of the Earth Evil Star Body. His spear pierced the Heavenly Universe, causing endless blood to splatter. Boundless Evil Qi surged, and countless resentful souls rose and fell.

The Earth Sha Star power primarily governs slaughter!

"Kill!" Soul Heart flicked his hands, and two chains tore through the air, striking the spear qi.

BOOM!

The spear qi shattered.

Countless strands of Earth Sha Star power ravaged the space between Heaven and Earth.

A few strands of Earth Sha Star power tainted the Power of the Great Path, sullying the pure and flawless Power of the Great Path and imbuing it with Evil Qi, adding a trace of inertia.

THUMP THUMP THUMP...

A vast shockwave swept across the Heavenly Universe.

Around the Imperial Capital, seventy-two mountain peaks exploded one after another, turning into dust.

The seventy-two Earth Evil Legions were all sent flying by the shockwave, landing a thousand li away before they managed to stabilize.

Soul Heart stumbled back a dozen steps and withdrew the two chains. Seeing the tainted Power of the Great Path, his expression instantly darkened. Within the Eternal Temple, only those who broke through to the Origin Great Emperor Realm could obtain a sliver of the Power of the Great Path, which was extremely precious. Being protected by the Power of the Great Path was akin to having an extra life. But now, it had been damaged by the Earth Sha Star power! It must be known that once the Power of the Great Path was damaged, it could not exist for long.

"Die!" Soul Heart flew into a thunderous rage. His black hair stood on end, revealing a cold, grim face. His mouth gaped open, and he swallowed the Power of the Great Path, converting it into pure energy.

BOOM!

The aura of the peak of the Origin Great Emperor Realm erupted.

The vast Destructive Power of the Great Path swept ruthlessly towards the Earth Evil Legions. The scene was terrifying.

"Retreat quickly!" Zhu Wu’s expression changed drastically.

The soldiers retreated without hesitation.

Seventy-two Earth Sha Star God Army Souls tore through the sky, positioning themselves before the Earth Evil Legions.

"Die!" Soul Heart pursued them relentlessly.

The Destructive Power of the Great Path descended, blasting the seventy-two Earth Sha Star God Army Souls away. They soared through tens of thousands of miles, flying out of the East Ancient Domain and crashing into the Great Sandy Sea.

The Seventy-two Earth Evil Legions were also swept into the Great Sandy Sea, plummeting into the Sand Dao Domain.

"PTUI!" Zhu Wu stood up from a collapsed sand dune, spitting out sand, his face pale with lingering fear.

Soldiers from the Earth Evil Legions crawled out of the sand one by one, their faces white, looking utterly wretched; many had broken limbs.

Fortunately, with the protection of the Earth Sha Star Gods, there were no casualties.

However, no casualties now did not mean there would be no casualties later.

Everyone looked towards the west. There, a black-robed figure, carrying an overwhelming aura of slaughter, was rapidly approaching.

...

BOOM!

「At the zenith of the Ninth Heaven.」

As time passed, the Star Sword condensed by Song Jiang ultimately could not match the Power of the Great Path and shattered inch by inch.

Of the two chains wreathed in the Power of the Great Path, one surged towards the Thirty-six Celestial Armies, its endless Power of Death shrouding everyone.

The other chain, carrying destructive might, shot towards Purple Hell, preparing to destroy the star map.

No! Song Jiang’s pupils constricted, a hint of remorse appearing.

Once the star map was destroyed, the Army Souls would suffer grievous injuries, they would be forced back to their original forms, and this battle would be utterly lost.

Damn it! Inside the Emperor’s Hall, Qin Wudao’s face was icy. In his previous life, he had heard that Song Jiang was a terrible liability who had doomed Liang Mountain. He hadn’t expected that, even after being reborn, Song Jiang would still be such a disaster.

The Celestial and Earth Evil Great Formation was composed of three formations.

The first was the Celestial Formation, which summoned the Thirty-six Celestial Star Lords to fight alongside them.

The second was the Earth Evil Formation, which could summon the Seventy-two Earth Sha Star Gods to aid in battle.

Although the power of these two formations was immense, it was not their limit.

The most powerful was the Celestial and Earth Evil Great Formation. It condensed the power of both the Celestial Formation and the Earth Evil Formation, mobilizing the entire power of the Northern Dipper Star Cluster, capable of unleashing several times their combat strength.

In Qin Wudao’s view, if Song Jiang had deployed the Celestial and Earth Evil Great Formation from the start, unleashing the strength of the Origin Great Emperor Realm, it would have been sufficient to face Soul Obsession and Soul Heart. After all, Soul Obsession and Soul Heart had only recently broken through to the Origin Great Emperor Realm. But what now? Due to Song Jiang’s strategic errors, the Celestial Armies and the Earth Evil Armies had been separated to fight their opponents individually. Not only had they failed to achieve victory, but they had also been scattered, their chances of survival looking grim.
