Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Defeating the Foe

At the peak of Spirit Mountain, starlight shrouds the sky. Countless small stars rotate in the air, densely packed and exuding domineering fluctuations. The surrounding heaven and earth grow dim, with heaven and earth energy drawn so intensely that it seems parched. Qing Yijun stands like a star god amidst the star cluster, appearing peerless and majestic. Qing Yiyun has been watching, inwardly unconcerned. He knows the terror of his second brother's divine ability—once this move is unleashed, it will surely suppress Daoling and seize his pill fire. At first, he was reluctant to intervene for Qing Yiyun, but upon hearing that the pill fire had absorbed the origin of star flame, he was immensely tempted. Such flame would be invaluable to him, so he immediately came to take it. With hands behind his back, surrounded by circling stars, Qing Yijun already has the demeanor of a master. He says indifferently, "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the pill fire, and I can retract this move without为难 (embarrassing) you." He highly values Daoling's potential. If he can promise benefits and subdue him, he will gain another subordinate. Daoling sneers. Golden runes float around his body, each vibrating resonantly and forming tiny Dao Bells. The golden Dao Bells ring, their sound waves surging. Together, they form a spectacular scene. These runes are mysterious, capable of evolving into various weapons to slay powerful enemies. Seeing this, Qing Yijun's eyes turn cold. "Your physical body is indeed remarkable, but your捏造 ability in the Yunling Realm is too low. Many prodigies are stuck at this stage, and you're no exception!" He is highly self - important, critiquing Daoling's flaws. He finds the runes strange but feels the energy within them is too weak. Daoling sneers. If they were at the same realm, how could the energy be so meager? There's a gap of five minor realms between them! Daoling's body bursts with dazzling radiance, spiritual qi swirling as he疯狂 (wildly) absorbs the surrounding heaven and earth essence, making the Dao Bells increasingly powerful. "Hmph, suppress him!" Qing Yijun snorts. Since the other party is obstinate, only suppression remains. The star cluster roils, and small stars descend, each as heavy as a mountain. Together, they seem like a mountain collapsing, shattering the sky. Onlookers pale, feeling suffocated. Some are even sent flying, and the chubby youth retreats wildly, his eyes fixed in horror on the falling stars. "What a powerful divine ability!" Lin Shishi clenches her jade hand, her beautiful eyes wide. This波动 (fluctuation) isn't even aimed at them, so one can imagine the pressure Daoling is under. The golden Dao Bells formed by runes clang, arranging above Daoling's head to strike the descending stars. In an extremely violent scene, stars fall and Dao Bells ring, clashing fiercely at the peak of Spirit Mountain. "Rumble!" Rocks shatter, ancient trees topple, and the sky seems on the verge of destruction. Terrifying air currents burst forth, dispersing the clouds. This dreadful aura makes many at the foot of Spirit Mountain tremble, unaware of the magnitude of the battle above. The small stars fall, each indestructible and extremely heavy, shattering the golden Dao Bells. This sight alarms Lin Shishi. Such a divine ability is so powerful that if it hits Daoling, he will be severely injured even if he doesn't die. With hands behind his back, Qing Yijun remains calm. This move is enough to suppress Daoling, and he has nothing to worry about. "Roar!" Amidst the chaotic heaven and earth, a deafening roar erupts, thundering through the world. Even large rocks are shattered by the roar! Some people's blood boils, their eardrums on the verge of bursting, feeling their bodies might explode. The roar is too可怕 (terrible). Fearful eyes turn to the youth roaring under the star cluster. Golden ripples burst from his mouth like a mountain torrent, accompanied by golden runes, as if he intends to roar the heaven and earth. The star cluster shakes, and some stars are actually吼的 (roared) down, smashing the earth and causing it to crack! "This is the Thunder Drum Heavenly Sound!" Lin Mu's eyelids twitch. The roar is so powerful that it makes the small stars fall. Qing Yiyun's face darkens. His body radiates precious light, drawing essence from all directions to construct shattered small stars, and the falling stars are quickly repaired. Daoling's body is surging with blood qi, his long hair fluttering wildly. With cold eyes, he scans Qing Yiyun, who is constantly drawing heaven and earth energy to build stars. Daoling stomps the ground, causing the earth to crack, and charges forward. "Hmph, suppress him!" Qing Yiyun sneers, mentally controlling the star cluster. Each small star is as heavy as a mountain, forming what seems like a starry path blocking the way. Daoling suddenly steps on a small star, making a loud noise. He walks on the stars, his golden blood qi towering, charging forward with the momentum of a mountain, causing the star cluster to shake. Qing Yiyun's face is阴冷 (cold). The star cluster begins to roil, dropping star rivers that press down with immense pressure, aiming to suppress Daoling's body. Daoling snorts. He even broke through the tenth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, so this pressure is bearable. He throws a punch, and golden fist lights strike the sky. Streams of blood qi dance through the air like golden snakes, accompanied by rolling waves, charging forward and blasting stars apart. "Kill!" Daoling spreads his arms, roaring like a peerless beast, continuously shattering small stars to break the spell. "Is he trying to break the spell with brute force? Can that work?" The chubby youth is surprised, seeing the clue. "Qing Yijun can't construct small stars infinitely. He can't hold on for long. Every star Daoling shatters consumes Qing Yijun's energy." "Right. The star field Qing Yijun constructed clearly can't suppress Daoling. His body is too strong." Lin Shishi nods, saying excitedly, "I wonder if he can defeat him." In the field, golden blood qi surges endlessly,碾压 (crushing) the surrounding stars. Golden runes roll, transforming into golden small swords that slash through the star field.不断 (Continuously) , small stars are split, and Daoling is close to breaking a path. Qing Yiyun's consumption is huge, and his heart grows more阴沉 (gloomy). He wordlessly takes out a Star Battle Spear, wrapped in璀璨 (bright) starlight like a silver lightning bolt. Holding the silver Battle Spear, he points it at Daoling, causing the four fields to shake, and rushes forward to attack. The Star Battle Spear is terrifying, shrouded in ancient charm and exuding a sharp killing intent. Its edge is daunting. "This is the Star Battle Spear, an ancient treasure. The Star Academy actually gave it to him!" "Oh no! Qing Yijun has the Star Overlord Body and can unleash the power of this ancient treasure. Can Daoling resist it?" People around are discussing, and then they are惊愕 (astonished), looking at the rusty broken sword that Daoling took out in disbelief. It's only a foot long. Is this a weapon? Qing Yijun's face is extremely阴冷 (cold). He feels that the other party is insulting him by using this破烂货 (junk) to fight him. "Die!" He roars, and the Battle Spear crosses the sky, with a fierce气息 (aura), breaking through layers of vacuum and slashing at Daoling's head. Daoling waves his hand, swings the broken sword, and slashes at the spear edge. Huge sparks fly, the silver Battle Spear vibrates, and Qing Yijun's虎口 (tiger's mouth) hurts. "You're too hasty!" Daoling sneers. The energy in his body疯狂 (wildly) revives the broken sword. With this slash, sword lights surge, cutting across the sky, and the surrounding stars explode. Qing Yijun's face turns pale immediately. The stars were constructed from his own body's essence, and now that they are destroyed, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth. "Get lost!" Daoling roars, his long hair fluttering. He holds the broken sword and slashes upward, and thick sword lights surge around him, tearing the sky. "Not good." Qing Yijun's face changes in alarm. He quickly retreats. Daoling's body is no weaker than his, and now with the broken sword, he will suffer a great loss in close combat. How can Daoling let him retreat? He is extremely fast. The broken sword slashes at Qing Yijun's head, and Qing Yijun blocks with the spear body, his arm shaking. With a bang, Daoling's palm shoots out and punches Qing Yijun's chest. Fierce blood qi rushes forward, and Qing Yijun's heart sinks. He blocks with his right leg, making a loud noise. Daoling's punch is so strong that his lower body shakes. "Get lost!" Daoling roars. The broken sword, which is competing with the Star Battle Spear, slashes fiercely, and with a bang, knocks the weapon out of Qing Yijun's hand. His body is also sent flying backward, falling to the ground and spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Everyone is呆泄 (dumbfounded). Before they can react, Daoling charges forward and kicks Qing Yijun's chest. "You're找死 (seeking death)!" Qing Yijun's face becomes狰狞 (ferocious). The opening of the Star Palace is approaching, and if he is injured here, he will surely fall far behind. He grits his teeth and crushes a jade talisman. In the deepest part of the Star Academy, on an ancient Spirit Mountain with hazy Dao rhyme, a滔天 (overwhelming)波动 (wave) bursts out. A terrifying shadow comes out, and its opening eyes shoot out a lightning bolt, which hits from a distance and blocks Daoling's foot.
