Chapter 5657: The Power of the Starry Sky

....

If it weren’t for the Beast God Weapon absorbing and resisting, he would probably have been seriously injured by now.

“Mie Sheng, I’m curious, you’ve tried to plot against me several times, if you really want to kill me, why bother? You can’t take away my Origin Source,” Jian Wushuang said, genuinely curious.

Mie Sheng stared at him unwaveringly, a fact Jian Wushuang understood well.

After all, Mie Sheng could devour his Life power. He was Mie Sheng’s greatest opportunity.

But if he were to fall here in the Qishen Temple, even if his Origin Source was devoured by Mie Sheng’s avatar, how could he retreat unscathed?

Upon hearing this, Mie Sheng offered no explanation but continued to attack relentlessly, giving Jian Wushuang no chance to stall.

“As long as I can kill you, I can retreat unscathed. You don’t need to worry about that. In fact, you should feel proud that you can merge with me. When the time comes, with us together, we will become the masters of this Starry Sky. Isn’t that exhilarating?” Mie Sheng laughed maniacally.

Upon hearing these words, everyone couldn’t help but look at Jian Wushuang.

Obviously, they were unaware of these matters.

However, Jian Wushuang frowned and said coldly, “Why don’t you let me devour you instead? I can offer you the entire Starry Sky. Are you willing?”

Devouring the Origin Source was just that, there was nothing so appealing about merging.

“Listen to my advice, your strength is too weak. The waters of the Starry Sky run deep, even if you devour my power of Death, you won’t be able to control it!”

“Whether I can control it or not is not for you to decide!” Jian Wushuang lowered his head, and a burst of violent Life power erupted from him instantly.

All the backlash divine power on his body was completely removed.

His strength instantly returned to its peak.

Jian Wushuang took a breath and looked at Mie Sheng again, a hint of a smile creeping onto his lips.

“It seems you’re not willing to say anything useful!” Jian Wushuang stared at Mie Sheng, but his aura had erupted to the extreme.

Even under normal circumstances, his peak was now at the pinnacle of the Tribulation Realm.

His Life power, especially after becoming Emperor and assisting Zhen Ling in reviving the Qishen’s flesh body, had become incredibly powerful, far from the weakness Mie Sheng imagined.

He merely wanted to test the depths of Mie Sheng’s abilities.

Since the other party remained stubborn, he decided to leave behind a hint of fear before departing.

He wanted Mie Sheng to know that when he returned next time, it would be beyond Mie Sheng’s comprehension.

Upon his next return, he would surely slay Mie Sheng, devour the power of Death, and ascend to the pinnacle.

“Eternal Ancient…”

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the suppressed space, leaving Mie Sheng feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Back when he was with Dao Lord, Mie Sheng couldn’t recognize the power of the Starry Sky when he peered into it.

But now, as Jian Wushuang truly unleashed this terrifying power of the Starry Sky, Mie Sheng’s face was filled with astonishment.

“Transformation!” Jian Wushuang roared to the sky, and his figure underwent a tremendous change.

Even his aura changed its hue.

In an instant, he ascended to the peak state, and then pushed that peak state to its extreme.

No one knew just how powerful Jian Wushuang had become.

If Gu Sha of the Frost Demon Clan appeared before him now, Jian Wushuang was confident he could annihilate his soul with a single punch.

Within the faint blue flames enveloping his body, there were also wisps of blue arcs.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes turned light blue as he glanced slightly at Mie Sheng, and said, “How about it? Not bad, huh!”

At this moment, he possessed the power of Three Tribulation realm, even rivaling the Universe Master who held sway over the cosmos.

Clang!

As Jian Wushuang drew the Jueyun Sword, an overwhelming intent to kill erupted.

At that moment, Jian Wushuang stood at the pinnacle of slaughter.

Seeing Jian Wushuang draw the Jueyun Sword, the heavily injured Fan Feng seemed to glimpse the shadow of an ancient emperor in the distant past.

Zhen Wuyang and Tongtian Buddha couldn’t conceal their incredulous expressions.

Back at the Grave God Mountain, they had only witnessed Jian Wushuang’s battle with Gu Sha from afar and hadn’t felt the aura of slaughter emanating from him.

Now, up close, they couldn’t help but tremble inwardly.

Hu Qing stood there, excitedly watching Jian Wushuang, as if everything was reminiscent of the scenes during the Great Desolate Wilderness migration.

Jian Wushuang was once again saving the world.

“This is, this is… the power of the Starry Sky!!” Mie Sheng could hardly believe his eyes.

Jian Wushuang remained expressionless, just nodding coldly.

The power of the Starry Sky within him had already condensed into reality, though compared to the power of Life, it was merely an adjunct, not his true Origin Source power.

After all, he had yet to illuminate his own Starry Sky. Over the years, he simply hadn’t had the time to cultivate.

However, in the future, he was confident he could illuminate his own Starry Sky and wouldn’t need to rely on this stolen power of the Starry Sky anymore.

“Hmph!” Mie Sheng gritted his teeth, emitting a deep, muffled growl from his throat.

The power of the Starry Sky.

He had seen it before but never used it.

It was a power on par with reincarnation and spacetime.

Jian Wushuang hadn’t become that kind of existence, yet he wielded such power, which indeed surprised and envied him.

Why did this power not belong to him?

“Even if you wield the power of the Starry Sky, you are still an Emperor, a mere ant to be crushed by me!” Mie Sheng erupted in rage, launching a direct attack.

But now, Jian Wushuang had drawn the Jueyun Sword.

Even if Mie Sheng unleashed 250,000-fold divine power, he was no match for Jian Wushuang.

“Starry Sky Chronicles!” Jian Wushuang didn’t tolerate the other’s arrogance and immediately unleashed his strongest attack.

At that moment, the barrier began to collapse.

It wasn’t shattered by Zhen Ling but by the might unleashed by the Starry Sky Chronicles, crushing the barrier like paper with a single poke.

As for the Mie Sheng who had possessed the golden skeletal frame, its Origin Source was directly shattered by Jian Wushuang’s attack, losing its golden skeletal frame and becoming an ordinary supreme-peak existence, incapable of withstanding this sword strike.

“Disappear!” Jian Wushuang’s sword cleaved down.

The Origin Source of Mie Sheng instantly turned into dust.

As for the golden skeletal frame, it now lacked even a trace of its golden radiance.

This was the first time Jian Wushuang unleashed the Starry Sky Chronicles since becoming the Emperor.

Even he hadn’t expected it to be this powerful.

Directly annihilating the Origin Source of Mie Sheng’s Origin Source avatar, his sword even severed a bit of the golden divine power from the golden skeleton.

“Whew…” Jian Wushuang gasped as he held the sword with one hand.

If it were an ordinary move, he could use the Starry Sky Sword Technique and continue fighting for a while, but the strongest sword within the Starry Sky Chronicles, even after becoming the Emperor, still put a significant strain on him when unleashed.

It drained the Starry Sky power within him in an instant.

Even the Eternal Ancient Transformation couldn’t be sustained for too long and reverted back to its usual state.

Zhen Ling slowly flew over at this moment.

Feeling the disappearance of Mie Sheng’s aura, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the killing intent in his eyes remained unyielding.

There’s no place for peaceful slumber in the bed.

This wasn’t the first time.

Zhen Ling kept calculating in his mind; once Jian Wushuang was sent away, he would also launch a full-scale war against the Temple of World Annihilation.
