Chapter 50: Star Sword

“Where is Wuyuan?”
“Where is Wuyuan?”
While Ling Xu and Gongye Chen were fighting, Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui both became panicked. They couldn’t find any trace of Wuyuan and grew increasingly anxious, looking around frantically with worried expressions.
At that moment, Wu Tanxin’s bubble was moving toward Qu Yi’s bubble. Clearly, after fighting Wuyuan, Wu Tanxin believed he had understood Qu Yi’s strength and wanted to confront him to uncover his secrets.
The powerful fighters in the other bubbles, upon seeing Wu Tanxin’s move, temporarily abandoned their plans to fight Qu Yi. They changed the direction of their bubbles—some went after others, while some headed toward Qing Wu Gui.
Only eight out of fifteen people could leave the central area once all others were eliminated. Thus, fighting was the only way to reduce the number of people. Everyone wanted to take this chance to fight, gain their opponent’s treasures, and reduce the total count by one.
Wu Tanxin finally brought his bubble close to Qu Yi’s. Soon, the two bubbles touched and merged, creating a space twenty thousand meters in size. Naturally, Wu Tanxin and Qu Yi stood facing each other.
“Qu Yi, I’ve always wanted to fight you. Finally, I have this chance. Your partner has already been defeated by me. It’s a pity he reached a higher cultivation level during the battle and was removed from the field; otherwise, he would have been killed by me,” Wu Tanxin said with a faint smile.
Hearing Wu Tanxin’s words, Qu Yi’s concern for Wuyuan vanished. It turned out that Wuyuan had reached the Divine General stage and left the central area to return to the Divine Realm.
“Wu Tanxin, your courage is truly remarkable. You clearly know that I alone defeated the combined forces of Xin Wuhen and Tian Buao, yet you still dare to challenge me. It seems you’re confident of winning,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Xin Wuhen and Tian Buao ranked just above Wu Tanxin on the Earthly Ranking List. The strength of these three was always evenly matched, but due to the number of spiritual entities in their bodies, Wu Tanxin ranked lower. Yet, he never accepted defeat. He was confident that if the three fought, he could kill Xin Wuhen and Tian Buao.
Moreover, Wu Tanxin’s strength had improved significantly in group battles among Divine General cultivators. Now, with the mid-tier innate spiritual treasure, Luoxin Cone, he was confident he could defeat anyone among the top ten on the Earthly Ranking List.
“No need for words. Let’s fight now,” Wu Tanxin said coldly, his expression turning serious.

Qu Yi spread his right hand, making a gesture to invite him in.
Seeing Qu Yi despise him so much, Wu Tanxin became furious. His long spear trembled in his hand as he suddenly rushed in front of Qu Yi, thrusting the spear forward with fierce determination.
Thirty million golden, wooden, and earth spirit entities gathered at the tip of the spear, ready to erupt at his command.
Qu Yi dodged, just avoiding the spear’s attack, and at the same time drew out his Spring Rain Sword, swinging it sharply. Thirty million golden, wooden, and water spirit entities formed a stream of water that sent a chill through the air, aiming straight at Wu Tanxin.
Wu Tanxin was shocked. He hadn’t expected Qu Yi to be faster than him. Seeing the water stream coming, he had no time to defend himself and could only summon his Mountain-Shifting Armor to block the attack.
“Hmph, just thirty million spirit entities? That’s about all your strength is. Let me show you how I’ll kill you.” As soon as he blocked the attack, Wu Tanxin showed a disdainful look and suddenly pulled out his Heart-Piercing Cone.
Since he had no advantage in speed, Wu Tanxin knew continuing the fight was pointless, so he brought out his ultimate weapon—the Heart-Piercing Cone.
In an instant, a yellow beam shot out. The Heart-Piercing Cone pierced through space and entered Qu Yi’s body.
“Haha, Qu Yi, you’re just an ascendant. How dare you confront the eight great royal families of our divine realm? You truly have no idea your place. Our eight great royal families have existed since the birth of the divine realm—how could you, mere ascendants, possibly challenge us? This Heart-Piercing Cone is a mid-tier innate spiritual treasure. Can you, ascendants, even resist it?” Wu Tanxin sneered coldly, his expression turning mad.
Almost all innate spiritual treasures had been taken by the eight great royal families. Wu Tanxin assumed Qu Yi didn’t possess any decent divine weapons, and even if he did, they surely couldn’t withstand a mid-tier innate spiritual treasure.
Qu Yi simply smiled faintly.
“No… How could you control my Heart-Piercing Cone? How could you block it?” Wu Tanxin’s face turned pale as he stared at Qu Yi in fear.
Just moments ago, he thought Qu Yi’s body would be blown apart by the Heart-Piercing Cone, but suddenly he realized his divine consciousness couldn’t control it, and Qu Yi’s body remained unharmed. Panicked, he realized the truth.
Inside Qu Yi’s body, while the Dimensional Sphere was blocking the Heart-Piercing Cone, chaotic energy surged in and enveloped it, erasing Wu Tanxin’s soul imprint from within. In other words, the Heart-Piercing Cone had already been taken by Qu Yi.
That was the power of chaotic energy—truly miraculous.

“Wu Tanshen, even a supreme innate spiritual treasure isn’t omnipotent. You still know too little. Well, now you can die too,” Qu Yi said indifferently, already treating Wu Tanshen as a dead man.

After speaking, Qu Yi’s figure flashed, and he appeared right in front of Wu Tanshen. With a single palm strike, 50 million golden, wooden, water, and spiritual entities surged forth, forming a giant palm a thousand meters in size that slammed down on Wu Tanshen’s body.

“Haha… Qu Yi, have you forgotten? I have the Mountain-Shifting Armor! To think you can kill me is pure delusion!” Wu Tanshen’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared, his hatred for Qu Yi deeply rooted in his soul.

The Falling Heart Cone was a mid-tier supreme innate spiritual treasure. Losing it meant that even if Wu Tanshen returned to the divine realm, he would be punished by his clan, at least his status within the family would be affected.

Just as Wu Tanshen finished shouting in anger, Qu Yi’s lips twitched, revealing a cruel smile. His figure moved swiftly, and his right hand pressed against Wu Tanshen’s chest. Chaos energy surged forth, instantly destroying the Mountain-Shifting Armor. The chaos energy then entered Wu Tanshen’s body, sealing up his internal world.

“No… How is this possible?” Wu Tanshen was stunned, completely unable to move, staring in terror at Qu Yi.

Qu Yi merely smiled. In an instant, he struck again, sending all 50 million spiritual entities at Wu Tanshen, shattering his body to pieces.

“Essence blood and space rings—let me take them,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he collected the spoils of battle. With a calm smile, his eyes turned to the other bubbles, where battles were also taking place.

Qing Wu Gui was fighting against a cultivator—none other than Bai Zui from the Thunder Shock Divine Domain. He was from the royal family of the Thunder Shock Divine Domain and the top disciple at the Divine General level among the Bai clan. However, at that moment, Bai Zui was under Qing Wu Gui’s control. No matter what spells he cast, they would be weakened to the level of a Divine General spell, rendering them completely ineffective against Qing Wu Gui. Qing Wu Gui’s agile fighting style often caught Bai Zui off guard with sudden sword strikes. Without his defensive armor, Bai Zui would have died long ago.

“Qing Wu Gui, how boring. You have the mid-tier supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Void Sky Blade. Why not use it to kill Bai Zui?” Qu Yi remarked lightly.

Sure enough, after struggling with Bai Zui for a while, Qing Wu Gui suddenly pulled out a nearly transparent, finger-long knife—the Void Sky Blade—and fired it, sending it into Bai Zui’s body. A large burst of blood spread inside the bubble as Bai Zui was killed by Qing Wu Gui.

Qu Yi showed a relieved smile. As he made eye contact with Qing Wu Gui, he nodded in congratulations, and Qing Wu Gui nodded in return.
In the other bubbles, Liu Xiu, Wei Dongchen, Lu Feixiong, Kang Ji, and Xing Bing had also defeated their opponents, defending their dignity as among the top ten experts on the Earth Rank.
Two more people, Gongye Kaiyuan and Qiu Ze, had also beaten their opponents; after killing them, they now appeared confident and proud.
Meanwhile, Ling Xu and Gongye Chen were still locked in a fierce battle, their strengths evenly matched as they exchanged blows in a thrilling fight.
At this moment, Liu Xiu, Wei Dongchen, Lu Feixiong, Kang Ji, and Xing Bing activated their bubbles, aiming to help Ling Xu.
Seeing their movements, Gongye Chen, who was fighting Ling Xu, suddenly had a glint of silver light in his eyes. He pulled out a gleaming silver sword—a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
This was the weapon given to Gongye Chen by his family. To deal with Qu Yi, the head of the Gongye family, Gongye Wujiang, had handed him this mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, hoping to truly kill Qu Yi and restore the family’s prestige.
As the silver sword swung, silver light filled the sky like stars falling like meteors.
Ling Xu, the strongest on the Earth Rank, was cut into pieces in an instant, then repeatedly slain by Gongye Chen’s silver sword. His entire body turned to flesh, and his soul could not escape—he died instantly.
Such a brutal death, so swift.
Everyone was stunned. Only Liu Xiu, who had always liked Ling Xu, acted like a madman. He was now using all his spiritual energy to activate his bubble and fight against Gongye Chen to avenge Ling Xu.
Gongye Chen took all of Ling Xu’s belongings, then stood firm in his bubble, looking directly at Qu Yi with a cold smile.
Everyone understood that Gongye Chen’s next target was Qu Yi. Of course, as public knowledge in the Divine Realm, everyone was aware of the feud between Qu Yi and the Gongye family. Thus, they were relieved that Gongye Chen’s next target was Qu Yi, not them.
Gongye Chen also felt some regret for revealing the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure so soon. He wondered if Qu Yi would challenge him, knowing that the power of the Star Sword had already been shown. If Qu Yi tried to escape, he wouldn’t be able to catch him.
Everyone agreed that after witnessing the power of the silver sword, Qu Yi would not fight Gongye Chen.
But how could Qu Yi be afraid? He nodded and smiled at Gongye Chen.

Soon after, Qu Yi and Gongye Chen activated their bubbles, and to everyone’s astonishment, they finally converged at one spot, and a fierce battle ensued.
