Chapter 1573 Stars Burn the Heavens
The moment the golden spear pierced his left shoulder, Wang Xian let out a heart-wrenching groan.
The killing laws on the gun were like maggots clinging to his bones, burrowing into his meridians through the wound. Wherever they passed, the chaotic energy was shattered into fragments, the faint light of the stellar body was completely suppressed, and even the ripples of the spacetime body were disrupted.
Just as he was about to unleash his power and strike with his spear, the golden-armored Heavenly Emperor on his right swung his Law-based battle blade, the blade's wind carrying the analysis of laws, aimed straight at his waist.
Wang Xian hastily dodged to the side, but was still a step too slow.
The Law-based battle blade grazed his ribs, taking away a large chunk of flesh and blood. The muscles and bones at the wound were instantly dissected into countless tiny points of light, and even his soul felt a sharp pain.
He staggered backward, and just as he was about to use the spacetime teleportation device, the third golden-armored Heavenly Emperor had already circled behind him, placed his palm on his back, and the golden power of law surged into his body like a tide.
"Bam—!"
Wang Xian's body shattered under the impact of the power of the laws, turning into a sky full of blood mist and fragments of his origin.
Within the blood mist, chaotic currents, starlight, ripples of time and space, and threads of fate intertwined, attempting to reassemble the body, but the three golden-armored celestial emperors gave it no chance.
The leader raised his hand and waved it, and the golden spear transformed into countless spear shadows, pinning the scattered fragments of origin to the void.
The golden-armored Heavenly Emperor on the left swept his battle blade across, and the analytical laws cut the fragments into even smaller particles.
On the right, the Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor's palm condensed a vortex of laws, which began to devour the origins that had lost their power of cohesion.
"asshole!"
Wang Xian's soul roared within the fragments, and the Destiny Body exerted all its strength to draw upon the source, finally re-condensing the broken body after three breaths.
But as soon as he regained his footing, the golden spear pierced through him again, this time directly penetrating his dantian. The four fundamental sources of his constitution churned violently like boiling water, on the verge of completely collapsing.
"Space-Time Body? Destiny Body? Stellar Body? Chaos Body? These four physiques created a piece of trash like you?"
The golden-armored Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group, spoke in an icy tone, stirring the tip of his spear within Wang Xian's dantian. "The laws of analysis have invaded your origin. In less than ten breaths, your four major physical constitutions will completely collapse."
Wang Xian gritted his teeth, forcibly activating his Chaos Body to envelop his origin, while looking down at the chaotic battle below.
The twenty Heavenly Emperors of the Chaos Sea were being held back by more than thirty silver-armored Heavenly Emperors. The black dragon body that Ao Ming had transformed into was pierced by several silver spears. The Blood Fiend Heavenly Emperor's blood sea phantom was cut into pieces by the flow of laws. The Ghostly Soul Heavenly Emperor's storm of vengeful spirits even began to show signs of dissipation.
They would occasionally look up in Wang Xian's direction, their eyes filled with anxiety, but they were completely unable to break through the Silver Armored Heavenly Emperor's blockade.
His gaze swept across the chaotic sea, then turned to the boundary of the eternal universe—the boundary was so close, yet it was completely isolated by a golden cage of laws.
Wang Xian tried to contact Yao Yao in the inner world with his consciousness, but he could only sense a violent primordial energy of the heavens. Yao Yao was in a critical period of refining, and her consciousness was completely closed.
When he tried to contact Night Ancestor, he sensed only a faint, almost extinguished, night law, indicating that Night Ancestor's injuries were more severe than he had imagined.
As for Su Qingyan, Yan Yangjun, and the others, their strength was such that, let alone breaking through the battlefield of the 'Chaos Sea,' even just getting close to this place would be enough for the three golden-armored Heavenly Emperors to annihilate their souls.
Wang Xian understood that at this point, he could only fight alone.
"war!"
Wang Xian had just roared when the golden law-based battle blade slashed at his throat, blood silencing his scream.
"Roaring won't help; trash is trash!"
The golden-armored Heavenly Emperor on the left sneered, and his battle blade slashed down again. Wang Xian's left arm was severed in response, and the source energy at the cut gushed out like a fountain. "Give up the resistance, at least you can die a quick death."
Wang Xian's body was shattered dozens of times in the next few breaths.
Each time he condensed, he was met with an even fiercer attack—a golden spear pierced his heart, a law-based battle blade severed his legs, and a law-based vortex devoured his arms.
His origins were constantly flowing away like sand in an hourglass. The airflow of his chaotic body became thin, the faint light of his stellar body almost went out, the teleportation range of his spacetime body shrank from tens of thousands of feet to less than three feet, and most of the threads of his destiny body broke.
"Am I really going to die here?"
Wang Xian's consciousness began to blur, and the scene of the inner world appeared before his eyes—Ali and Hela were playing by the Immortal Lotus Pond, Nangong Wu was looking up ancient books in the library, his parents were playing with a group of Epoch Spirits, and countless other creatures were thriving in the world he had created.
These images were branded onto his soul like a hot iron, and a surge of resentful anger suddenly erupted from the depths of his heart.
"I can't die!"
Wang Xian's roar shattered the surrounding chaotic airflow. He suddenly looked up, his eyes bursting with dazzling starlight.
The star body, which was almost extinguished, suddenly trembled violently, and an ancient and vast aura spread out from his body, instantly enveloping the entire chaotic battlefield.
"Ok?"
The three golden-armored celestial emperors frowned simultaneously, sensing a threat far greater than before.
In the originally deathly darkness of the chaotic void, starting from Wang Xian's body, billions of faint points of light appeared.
These points of light initially resembled fireflies, but then burst into dazzling light—not ordinary light, but each point of light represented a rotating starry world.
Some stars have surfaces covered by blue oceans, with water-based laws rolling in the waves.
Some are encased in crimson magma, within which the laws of fire burn.
Some are filled with countless crystalline life forms, with spiritual laws flowing within their bodies.
Even more terrifying, deep within these stars, hundreds of stars exuding an ancient aura slowly emerged.
They are not large in size, but they are more dazzling than the surrounding star world. Their surfaces are covered with incomprehensible ancient runes, which are said to have been born from the first "primordial stars"!
"That's... the primordial stars?"
Ao Ming's pupils constricted as he watched the chaotic battle below, and his black dragon body involuntarily stopped moving. "He can actually draw upon the power of the primordial stars?"
Countless streams of stellar power surged forth from billions of stars, cascading down like a waterfall and flowing into Wang Xian's body.
His broken body was rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the power of the stars. Bones and muscles regrown from the wound on his left shoulder, and the source energy in his dantian was re-condensed, even more solid than before.
At the same time, large arrays composed of star runes appeared around him.
The Big Dipper constellation circled above his head, with the seven illusory stars forming a dipper shape, radiating an aura of defense and amplification, blocking the oppressive aura of the Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor.
The Zhou Tian Star Array covered his body, with 365 illusory main stars echoing the 'Primordial Stars'. Each main star corresponded to an attack rune, ready to unleash its power at any moment.
The Purple Star Array condensed between his brows, and a purple star phantom slowly rotated, radiating the pressure of a 'Star Ruler', causing the three golden-armored Heavenly Emperors to momentarily halt their movements.
"This is... the perfected form of the Star Body?" A hint of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the leading golden-armored Heavenly Emperor, and the golden spear in his hand once again condensed the Law of Slaughter. "Even if you burn your origin and achieve the perfected Star Body, you are still no match for us. An ant is an ant. Accept your fate!"
"is it?"
Wang Xian's voice carried the weight of stars. He raised his hand and waved, and all 365 main stars in the Zhou Tian Star Array simultaneously shot out a golden ray. The rays intertwined to form a huge star net, enveloping the three golden-armored Heavenly Emperors.
"break!"
On the left, the Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor brandished his battle blade, attempting to sever the Star Net by analyzing its laws. However, the power of the stars within the Star Net was inexhaustible, and any opening healed immediately.
On the right, the Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor condensed a vortex of laws, attempting to devour the Star Net, but it was suppressed by the pressure of the Purple Star Emperor within the Star Net, causing the vortex to rotate slower and slower.
Upon seeing this, the Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group, thrust his golden spear fiercely towards Wang Xian's brow. The spear tip broke through the defense of the Big Dipper Formation and headed straight for the Ziwei Emperor Star Formation.
Just as the spear tip was about to strike, Wang Xian's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot—the Space-Time Body had recovered to its peak under the blessing of the power of the stars, even faster than before!
"Behind you!"
Wang Xian's voice came from behind the Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group. He conjured a longsword made of fragments of primordial stars in his hand. The longsword carried the law of "Star Annihilation" and stabbed towards the Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor's back.
The Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor turned hastily, his golden spear clashing with the Starry Sword, producing a deafening roar. The two laws canceled each other out, and the resulting turbulent energy churned the surrounding chaotic air into dust.
Wang Xian used the momentum to retreat, and the Big Dipper Array lit up again. At the same time, the 365 rays of the Zhou Tian Star Array erupted again, forming a dense rain of attacks that shot towards the three golden-armored Heavenly Emperors.
This area of the Chaos Battlefield was completely enveloped by the power of stars and golden laws.
Upon seeing this, the three golden-armored celestial emperors simultaneously formed defensive hand seals. The leader held his golden spear upright in front of him, the spear radiating a killing light screen that blocked all the incoming rays. The golden-armored celestial emperor on the left drew his battle blade in a circle, analyzing the laws to form a rotating light shield. Rays that landed on the shield were decomposed into the most basic energy particles. The golden-armored celestial emperor on the right reversed the vortex of laws in his palm, actually absorbing some of the rays into the vortex and transforming them into his own law nourishment.
"That's all?"
The leading golden-armored Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, and the killing light barrier suddenly expanded, actually reflecting the blocked star rays back. "Give it back to me!"
The rebounding rays, carrying the killing intent of backlash, hurtled straight towards Wang Xian's face.
Wang Xian's pupils shrank sharply, and the Big Dipper Array instantly tripled in size, with the seven illusory stars lighting up simultaneously to form a thick star shield.
"Oh!"
The ray struck the star shield, causing the runes on its surface to flicker violently and cracks to spread like a spider web. Wang Xian was forced to retreat repeatedly, and blood once again spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"How long can his defensive formation hold out?"
The golden-armored Heavenly Emperor on the left fixed his gaze on the Purple Star Array between Wang Xian's eyebrows. "That purple star is the core of his power. If you shatter it, the star body will collapse!"
Before the words were even finished, the three golden-armored celestial emperors suddenly changed their tactics.
The leader, wielding a long spear, held the enemy at the front, while the Law of Slaughter transformed into countless spear shadows, densely piercing towards Wang Xian.
The Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor on the left concealed his form using the laws of analysis, circling around to Wang Xian's left like a ghost, his battle blade fully charged with the power of the laws, aiming at the Ziwei Emperor Star Array.
On the right, the Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor activated a vortex of laws, continuously devouring the power of the surrounding stars and weakening Wang Xian's energy source.
"Want to make a sneak attack?"
Wang Xian's soul was tense. His stellar body's perception covered hundreds of millions of miles. As soon as the law fluctuations in the void to his left became abnormal, he turned around abruptly and unleashed a 'Star Slash' with his star sword.
As the sword light clashed with the battle blade, the laws of analysis spread along the blade. Wang Xian felt a numbness in his arm, and the primordial star fragments on the Starry Sky Sword began to fall off.
"puff!"
Taking advantage of the opening in the Big Dipper formation, the golden spear shadow pierced through and struck Wang Xian in the right chest.
The law of slaughter seeped into Wang Xian's lungs through the wound, and he coughed violently, the blood he coughed up mixed with fragments of starlight.
He endured the excruciating pain, pressed his left hand to his chest, and the Ziwei Emperor Star Array erupted with blinding purple light: "Ziwei Controls the Heavens!"
The purple star-like phantom suddenly expanded, enveloping the three golden-armored celestial emperors.
The void instantly froze, and the movements of the three golden-armored celestial emperors became sluggish, as if they were sinking into viscous star liquid.
"It's now!"
A fierce glint flashed in Wang Xian's eyes, and the Zhou Tian Star Array activated once more, with 365 illusory images of main stars simultaneously crashing down on the trapped Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor—this was a close-range surprise attack launched by him using the control power of the Ziwei Emperor Star Array.
"Damn the rules of control!"
The leading golden-armored Heavenly Emperor roared, burning two star gems on his armor. His killing power surged, forcefully tearing apart the confinement of the Purple Star Emperor Array.
But it was too late. The three phantom images of the main stars had already slammed into his shoulder, denting his golden armor and making a cracking sound as bones broke.
The Golden-Armored Heavenly Emperor on the left was also struck by the five illusory main stars, his battle blade flew out of his hand, and the analytical laws became disordered.
The Golden Armored Heavenly Emperor on the right was simultaneously struck by the ten phantoms of the main stars, causing his law vortex to shatter instantly and spit out a mouthful of golden law essence blood.
"You get hurt too?"
Wang Xian laughed breathlessly as the power of the stars surged into his body again, repairing the wound on his chest. "I thought you were immortal."
"How dare you be so arrogant, you mere ants!"
The golden-armored Heavenly Emperor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with even more killing intent. "Since you enjoy playing with stars so much, then I will destroy your stars!"
He raised his hand and grabbed at the chaotic void, the Law of Slaughter transforming into a giant golden claw that reached out to grab at the billions of star-like phantoms surrounding Wang Xian.
Wherever the golden claw passed, ordinary star worlds shattered like glass, and the power of the stars turned into chaotic energy flows, even causing fluctuations in Wang Xian's Zhou Tian Star Array.
Although those illusory star images are not physical entities, they are extensions of the stellar body's origin. Each time one is broken, Wang Xian's origin will be further depleted.
Leaping into the air, Wang Xian condensed the power of hundreds of primordial stars into his Star Sword and slashed at the golden claw.
The moment the sword light collided with the golden claw, the chaotic void seemed to be torn apart.
The ancient laws of the primordial stars and the laws of slaughter annihilated each other, and the resulting energy storm shattered all the surrounding illusory stars. Wang Xian and the leading golden-armored Heavenly Emperor were both blasted away.
