Chapter 127: The Fall of Tianhe Star

The five-layered wave technique Chen Xiao had just unleashed was nothing but an empty shell. Though it appeared mighty and terrifying, it actually carried no lethal force.
Qingye Lige, struck by Chen Xiao’s slap that disrupted his own technique, didn’t panic despite the silver despair surrounding him. With a wave of his hand, a faint silver glow emanated from the five-tailed silver fox, instantly absorbing all of that silver despair.
Qingye Lige’s expression darkened as he gritted his teeth and said, “What a despicable guy.”
“Young master, combat isn’t just about brute force—use your brain more,” Chen Xiao said, unimpressed by Qingye Lige resolving the situation on his own.
In the Realm of a Thousand Souls, Chen Xiao had fought countless fierce spirits and beasts. As the Lord God, he could absorb various experiences more easily, giving him immense combat experience by now.
“Hmph! Fusion complete!”
Qingye Lige wasted no time talking to Chen Xiao. With a loud shout, he formed a seal in the air with his hands. The silver fox vanished almost instantly, while a dazzling silver light burst forth from Qingye Lige’s body.
In the next moment, Qingye Lige’s appearance changed drastically. He now wore a set of silver fox-shaped armor, with five golden tails swaying slowly behind him. His originally black hair had turned into silver long hair.
This transformation happened in the blink of an eye—Chen Xiao didn’t even have time to react. Once fused, Qingye Lige rushed forward, grabbing at Chen Xiao head-on.
Qingye Lige already possessed fifth-tier strength, and now, by fusing with the fifth-tier five-tailed silver fox, he wielded the power of two fifth-tier warriors.
It was the first time Chen Xiao had faced an beast master. Although he had previously encountered Wan Hu, who was even stronger than Qingye Lige, Wan Hu had already been subdued by his divine disciples and hadn’t intervened.
“Fusing with a fierce beast and gaining its power… My physical strength isn’t enough to engage in close combat with him.”
Chen Xiao quickly devised a plan. He retreated sharply, and twelve fifth-tier Water Element Giants appeared before him.
“Brother likes group attacks!”
The crystal-blue Water Element Giants, whose bodies were made of extreme cold water, rushed toward Qingye Lige as soon as they appeared on the arena. The first giant used its body to block Qingye Lige’s attack, while the other eleven immediately surrounded him.
The Water Element Giants transformed into waves of extreme cold water, continuously striking at Qingye Lige’s body. Even fused with the silver fox, he couldn’t withstand such attacks.
With twelve massive waves, each possessing fifth-tier power, and the constant assaults from these twelve forces, Chen Xiao applied the principle of the seven-layered wave technique, turning the Water Element Giants’ attacks into layered waves—far more terrifying than the original version.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qingye Lige managed to block a few attacks before being swept off the arena by the waves. In an instant, his fusion with the silver fox was broken. The silver fox let out a mournful cry before turning into a streak of silver light and disappearing somewhere.
By now, Qingye Lige’s entire body was covered in frost as he trembled violently, eventually falling into a coma.

Yuye Xiaochen sighed softly, stepped forward quickly, and sent out a burst of spiritual energy to drive away the cold from Qingye Lige’s body. Then, he glanced at Chen Xiao on the platform, sighed again, and helped Qingye Lige leave the place.
…
“Who else?”
Chen Xiao did not recall the twelve water element giants from the platform. Standing with his hands behind his back, he stared coldly down at the other nine challengers.
The entire hall was silent. Summoning twelve beings of equal strength to fight against him was like facing thirteen fifth-tier powerhouses at once—even an ordinary sixth-tier supernatural being would be overwhelmed.
The members of Huaxia Soul below showed signs of fear, which was exactly what Chen Xiao wanted.
“You brat, why make such a show of it?” On the other side, the Great Immortal danced around, gritting his teeth as he muttered, “You should fight him slowly, making everyone think you and Qingye Lige are evenly matched, so as to attract more people to challenge you. By scaring away all the challengers at once, who am I supposed to get treasures from?”
Fortunately, no one heard the Great Immortal’s words; otherwise, even Chen Xiao would have to fight him.
“I’ll do it.”
A cold voice came from below the platform. Then, Chen Xiao saw a blur—someone had already stepped onto the platform without him noticing.
“I don’t know where you learned this half-baked Wave Stacking technique, but it originated from my Hai family. Today, I, Hai Yi, will reclaim the ‘Seven Layers of Ocean Waves’ on behalf of my family.”
The man before him was about 1.85 meters tall, with a robust build and a cold expression.
“The Wave Stacking technique, Hai family?” Chen Xiao was stunned.
“Now, let me show you that the Wave Stacking technique isn’t just about harmful moves like the Seven Layers of Ocean Waves.”
Hai Yi sneered and then shouted, “Wave Stacking Clones!”
In an instant, the air around Hai Yi twisted as water element energy gathered rapidly. Twelve figures appeared beside him—all pale blue, made of water, and resembling Hai Yi in appearance.
Without hesitation, Hai Yi and his thirteen clones rushed at Chen Xiao. At the same time, a sharp spear appeared in his hand.
“Using water element clones to attack me? You’re seeking death,” Chen Xiao sneered. Around him, the twelve water element giants immediately transformed into giant waves, forming a barrier in front of him.
Though these waves weren’t very defensive, they were pure, extremely cold water! As soon as Hai Yi’s clones touched this icy water, they froze instantly, turning into fragments.
“What’s going on?!”
Hai Yi’s face paled. Although his clones were also made of water, they weren’t real water. Even in Antarctica or the Arctic, they wouldn’t freeze. Yet, upon touching this crystal-blue water, they shattered instantly. Was the water element energy frozen?
“You’re distracted.”

Chen Xiao sneered as her fingers moved swiftly through the air. In an instant, a combined spell composed of seven spiritual curses appeared.
“Sky River Fall! Go!”
The combined spell scattered rapidly into the surrounding air, but soon, an endless flow of water power gathered swiftly, forming a giant river ten meters wide and of unknown length that seemed to come from the heavens, rushing straight toward Hai Yi’s body.
The arena was only ten meters wide in total, leaving Hai Yi no chance to dodge.
Boom!
In an instant, the giant river descended from the sky, engulfing Hai Yi entirely. The half of the arena beneath his feet was also destroyed in an instant.
The fierce waters of the Sky River, after swallowing Hai Yi, rolled toward the other eight challengers below the arena.
It was a provocation!
