Chapter 113 This is the moment when the stars are crowned!
Princess Jiujiu only vaguely saw that Kong Tianxu's eyes, which were looking at her, seemed to turn completely golden for a moment. The next moment, she was horrified to find that her Star Guardian stopped trembling at the moment when it was at its most dazzling.
Then, she heard that sound: "Break."
Kong Tianxu's whisper seemed to carry a strange rhythm. His fingertip, which touched the Star Guardian, did not produce any violent boom. Instead, it was like a pebble sinking into the water, silently—one by one—penetrating into it!
It wasn't shattering or destroying; the indestructible starlight shield, capable of isolating attributes, seemed to turn into a soft water film before his fingertips, which were also shrouded in pale golden light, and was easily pierced with a small hole.
The Realm of Eternal Origin!
Regardless of the true nature of the Star Guardian, the question facing Kong Tianxu has always been how to break through, not whether he can break through at all.
"That's impossible!"
Xu Jiujiu's pupils suddenly contracted; this was completely beyond her understanding of the Star Guardian. She couldn't fathom what abilities Kong Tianxu possessed that would cause such a change in her Star Guardian, which was supposedly isolated from all attributes.
However, nothing is impossible in this world, at least not for Kong Tianxu.
However, the next moment, something even more shocking happened. Kong Tianxu's index finger, which had pierced through the protective shield, did not retract but continued to penetrate deeper into the small hole and press down.
During this process, his entire palm seemed to be bathed in the light of the Star Guardian, turning into an extremely pure gold.
Immediately, he exerted force with his right arm, hooking his index finger, which was embedded in the wall of starlight, inward!
The movements were light and understated, as if inviting or leading, or as if plucking an invisible string.
Centered on his fingertips, the dazzling light on the outer layer of the Star Guardian, along with the eighteen stars on it, began to shake violently under the strain.
The shaking did not come from an external impact, but rather seemed to be forcibly shaken from the most fundamental structure of the shield, from the core of the star power connection!
After a long while, he felt a strange shockwave spread throughout his body, his soul power became chaotic, his blood and qi surged, and it was as if his entire soul was trembling with the flick of that finger!
Then, the hand moved with lightning speed, unleashing an overwhelming force like an ancient behemoth dragging down mountains—
"boom--!"
A piercing roar and friction tore through the air!
With this pull-back motion, the massive starlight shield trembled and actually...
He actually managed to pull it a full ten feet!
It is not gradually consumed, nor is it found to have a weakness; rather, it is the purest and most savage force.
What a bizarre ability this is, and what a terrifying body!
Ma Xiaotao's eyes sparkled, not only from the brilliance reflected by the starlight on the competition stage, but also from her deep fascination with Kong Tianxu's astonishing aura, as if he had descended from the heavens.
As Star Guardian was dragged along, Xu Jiujiu, the caster, was also pulled out of the protective range of the defensive Soul King's Holy Wings by a tremendous force. Kong Tianxu took advantage of the momentum and stepped forward, his right leg suddenly exerting force.
Another deafening roar erupted! It was as if the entire metal arena was shaken by his power, causing it to tremble violently.
This time, what was thrown into the water was a huge rock, or rather, a mountain!
After a long while, his chest felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and the star crown on his forehead emitted a clanging sound as it could not bear the weight. Tiny traces of melting appeared on the surface of the diamond-shaped gem in the center.
Kong Tianxu's figure, amidst ripples of brilliant golden light, cast a blurry afterimage, shattering the Star Guardian before him.
After passing through the starlight, he lightly raised his left hand from his sleeve, transforming himself into an arrow released from a bow.
A star-piercing arrow, tearing through space and carrying fragments of golden light, was aimed directly at Xu Jiujiu at the core!
This time, Xu Jiujiu was certain that she was not mistaken; they were golden eyes!
"That's impossible!"
On the viewing platform, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo cried out in a low voice, his reaction mirroring that of his sister.
Star Guardian, on the surface, is Princess Jiujiu's fourth soul skill, but in reality, it is far superior to ordinary soul skills.
The Star Crown Martial Soul's power surpasses that of most top-tier Martial Souls, but its cultivation is extremely demanding—only by absorbing star power at night can one accumulate Soul Skills.
The eighteen Venus stars required for Star Guardian take a full eighteen days to condense, making it the most time-consuming type.
The power of Star Guardian increases with the cultivation level of the Soul Master using it. It is one of the very few powerful skills that is not limited by the quality of the Soul Ring. The cost is that Star Power needs to be accumulated again after each use.
For this reason, the Star Guardian's defensive power is exceptionally strong. It is not only a range defense, but also, when Princess Jiujiu uses the Star Guardian at her current level, its single-point defense is comparable to the full-force defense of a Soul Emperor-level defensive Soul Master.
That's why Xu Jiawei was so confident in the Star Guardian. But at this moment, even such a powerful defense was breached.
Given Kong Tianxu's past performance, Xu Jiawei could accept this outcome, but it should never have been done in this way.
Even if it were a torrent of ten elements superimposed with ultimate ice, it should still be able to destroy the Star Guardian only after exhausting the energy of those eighteen stars!
The destruction caused by the Star Guardian can only mean one thing: restraint. Kong Tianxu's Silver Dragon Martial Soul has a certain ability that restrains the Star Guardian.
It can actually restrain the Star Guardian of the Star Crown Martial Soul. Even if their own Martial Soul were to do this, it would probably take them a lot of effort. Is this one of the innate abilities in the Legend of the Silver Dragon?
Langya and Yutao exchanged a glance, then both scratched their heads. Langya was troubled because he was searching his mind for information about dragons, while Yutao simply had an itchy head and scratched it.
The Silver Dragon Martial Soul shouldn't have such an ability, at least not in terms of elements.
Long Xiaoyao debated with his Dark Holy Dragon for a long time before finally arriving at this definite answer: among the three Limit Douluo of this era, when it comes to understanding and exploring his own martial soul, he is undoubtedly number one.
After all, he didn't have the profound background of a ten-thousand-year-old lineage like Mu En, nor did he have the unorthodox shortcuts like Ye Xi's Water Soul Seal. All he could rely on was his own talent and martial soul.
He looked at Ye Xishui beside him, only to find that she was calm and seemed to have expected everything.
Did Xi Shui already guess it? That makes sense, after all, she is a divine examiner and guide, so there must be some mysterious aspects to her.
"Xuanzi————"
A rare sharpness appeared in Mu En's usually gentle eyes. His thin, bony fingers tapped the back of the chair rhythmically, as if reflecting the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He called out to his junior apprentice beside him.
means something.
"Elder Mu, rest assured, even if this weren't Star Luo City, I wouldn't act recklessly. After your guidance last time, I have a full understanding and confidence in the advantages of Yuhao's original martial soul."
"No matter how strong Kong Tianxu is now, he only has the Silver Dragon Martial Soul. In the future, he will definitely lose to our Twin Martial Soul Ultimate Single Soldier, who has been nurtured for ten thousand years."
Xuanzi looked at Mu En with a firm gaze, his eyes as clear as they had been a hundred years ago, or even two hundred years ago.
Mu En turned his face away expressionlessly, beginning to doubt for the first time whether his decision to make Xuanzi the successor of the Sea God Pavilion, despite the opposition, was wise, based on Xuanzi's combat abilities and Taotie bloodline.
At the same time, he murmured to himself.
"Perhaps, it's not just the Silver Dragon—"
Electrolux's slightly uncertain voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, after which he fell into deep thought.
Just as Huo Yuhao asked again, Electrolux's voice revealed shock for the first time: "The Gold of Life?!"
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the competition stage, as Kong Tianxu raised his left hand in a slightly strange manner, a strange blue light flashed and disappeared in the air.
The light pointed directly at the absolute defensive shield that had trapped Xu Tianzhen and the other three.
"bite-
'
The so-called absolute defense level seven soul tool actually emitted a crisp sound, the metal ball at the top trembled violently, the golden light quickly dimmed, and within two breaths it turned into a deathly gray color, and the protective shield also became thin and about to shatter!
"The Gold of Life is a divine object that is rare and hard to come by. It contains an unimaginable amount of life force. It can not only give life force, but also take away life force to feed back to itself. Its special effect of taking away life force is called Judgment."
Electrolux's voice resonated with unprecedented force: "All forms of energy possess life. While this judgment is only effective against those who do not protect their own lives, and becomes ineffective in the face of resistance, it is virtually indestructible against the soul tools of this world."
Listening to Electrolux's explanation, Huo Yuhao was shocked and looked at the absolute defense shield with a hint of jealousy.
Sure enough, although they didn't hear the crisp sound of the shield breaking like Xu Tianzhen and the others who were inside the absolute defensive soul tool, everyone could see the four figures that broke through.
However, at this point, it seems that whether they break through or not is no longer important.
Because Kong Tianxu, like a ghost, broke through all defenses and suddenly appeared in front of Xu Jiujiu, whose pretty face was pale.
His martial soul and even his body were forcefully seized by that inexplicable force, and he was dragged out of the protection of Chen Xiaojie and the two Soul Kings, Saint Wing, after a long time.
Before the two could react, Kong Tianxu's figure was already only inches away from the person they were protecting.
He lowered his head slightly, calmly looking at the princess of the Star Luo Empire, his right palm gently extending forward, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
The earth-shattering breakthrough he had just made seemed to him as if he had only done a trivial thing.
Only then did the Star Guardian Shield, which was still violently undulating, let out a mournful cry as if all its power had been drained, and its light rapidly dimmed, becoming illusory and uncertain.
The shattered golden light, like the mournful cries of stars, drifted down slowly, revealing what he had done.
The entire room fell silent.
No one could have imagined that, on a stage like the semifinals, Kong Tianxu would still be able to dominate and instantly secure the victory, just like in the previous round-robin tournament!
In fact, he only used one strike.
Was defeat imminent? The audience of Xingluo was filled with despair. The surprise that Princess Jiujiu brought them had only lasted for such a short time. Kong Tianxu's strength had already shattered the hopes of the starry sky.
However, Kong Tianxu, who had been almost face to face with Xu Jiujiu, saw the turning point before them.
Xu Jiujiu's beautiful face was still pale, but it was not just because of the shock that Kong Tianxu had suddenly broken through the Star Guardian.
Rather, it was because of the soul power, which was almost exhausted but had little connection with the Star Guardian.
Behind her, the fifth-ranked black spirit ring was shining brightly, and a triumphant smile appeared on Xu Jiujiu's pretty face.
She raised her hand—
The diamond-shaped gem in the center of the star crown disappeared into Kong Tianxu's body as if by teleportation, and endless golden light, like a vast starry sea, spread outward from the magnificent crown on her head!
Almost instantly, this surging starlight filled every corner of the competition stage.
This place has become a golden sea of stars!
Every member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, including Cain and Kong Tianxu, froze in their tracks at this moment.
To everyone's astonishment, a crown identical to the one on her head appeared between her long, raised hands.
The crown in her hand slowly fell, and Kong Tianxu, trembling, lowered his head without anyone noticing.
The movement looked long, but it was actually extremely fast. By the time Xu Jiujiu placed the crown on Kong Tianxu's head, Cain had already broken free from the seemingly unstoppable restraints, and Ma Rulong and the others had also regained consciousness one after another.
The whole process might have taken less than a second.
But for a Soul Master, one second is enough to do a lot.
Huang Heyun's strongest attack, Dark Hurricane, which had reached the peak of Soul Saint under the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, was already heading towards Kong Tianxu, while the others were also facing powerful attacks that were difficult to withstand in time.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and it seemed that their greatest reliance, Kong Tianxu, was still standing there, trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
What kind of ability is this? It's so incredibly powerful!
For a moment, even the two from the Body Sect were somewhat shocked and puzzled, and the Shrek Academy side had no idea what was going on. Only Mu En seemed to vaguely recall something, looking in surprise in the direction of Xu Jiawei. In the distance, behind the battlements of the imperial city, His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire had removed his crown at some point.
He looked at the dreamlike sea of stars on the competition stage, his face displaying the same arrogance and solemnity as Xu Jiujiu: "The stars crown the king, the crown is heavy."
As one of the six top martial souls with a history of ten thousand years, the Star Crown Martial Soul is known for its obsession with combat. How could it possibly only have one defensive skill, Star Guardian?
The crown of stars, the weight of the crown, the long-awaited fifth soul skill, an absolute and powerful area-of-effect control.
Although the release conditions are relatively demanding, they are negligible compared to the effects:
The crowned one will be under absolute control for at least one second, while other selected spectators within the area will be stripped of all rights of action and can only solemnly watch this star coronation ceremony.
This is why, despite its small number of members, the Star Crown Martial Soul still ranks extremely high among the six great Martial Souls.
This soul skill can only be inherited by the most talented Star Crown Martial Soul owner. It does not consume too much of the star power absorbed from the outside world and stored in the body, but it is extremely dependent on the original starlight that the Martial Soul owner nurtures and awakens innately.
Dai Yueheng's assessment of Xu Jiawei was not wrong. He was indeed the most outstanding cultivation talent in the Star Luo royal family in the past three hundred years, but that was only in terms of pure cultivation talent. If the compatibility of the martial soul itself were added, he would only be one of them.
Because of the immense power of Xu Jiujiu's original starlight, even Xu Jiawei could not match it.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. In order to ensure that he could suppress Kong Tianxu, Xu Jiujiu gathered his own primordial starlight and even his unique crown star into this attack. The resulting absolute control effect was terrifying, lasting for a full three seconds.
It should be like this.
After watching the other six members of Sun Moon awkwardly struggling, a smug smile appeared on her lips. Before the dark hurricane could hit, she gently pinched Kong Tianxu's chin before retreating, pretending to lift him up to satisfy her overwhelming desire for conquest.
Upon touching it, however, it was ice-cold.
As the figure gradually retreated, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Fear and horror made her delicate body tremble slightly, even though it hadn't even been a second!
Kong Tianxu suddenly raised his pair of blood-red, extremely silver eyes. The two vertical pupils that were torn apart instantly turned into blazing gold amidst the terrifying killing intent that suddenly erupted from his entire body!
While the effect of the Star Crown was powerful, it still couldn't affect Kong Tianxu, who was enveloped by the Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain. What truly caused him to act abnormally was the gem on the Star Crown of Long Time.
After a long time, the rhombus-shaped gem carrying her extremely pure and non-aggressive primordial starlight passed through the passive state of the Myriad Origins Domain and directly entered Kong Tianxu's body.
For Kong Tianxu in his normal state, it was naturally insignificant and he could perfectly convert it into his own power. But the problem was the blood-red killing intent in his body that had not yet been purified.
When the starlight came into contact with the killing intent, the two collided violently. The starlight dissipated into nothingness, but the killing intent was fully unleashed.
The defenses he had set up between the crimson and normal soul power circulation routes were instantly breached, and the killing intent began to rage wildly within his body.
It can be said that Xu Jiujiu's strategy was successful, because she was indeed the first and only person in this competition to cause real trouble for Kong Tianxu.
But she failed even more completely, because in this state, Kong Tianxu's soul power, which had been suppressed to the third ring stage, was restored to the surging power of the Soul King level.
The Star Luo National Academy is fortunate, because this means that after the battle with the King of Slaughter, Kong Tianxu no longer needs to have any scruples.
They could feel the full power of Kong Tianxu, who unleashed his power with his Three Lives Super Martial Soul, tangible yet intangible spiritual strength, and Golden Dragon Physique at his peak.
Moreover, because of the murderous aura emanating from his body, he was in a hurry.
Naturally, we will do our best.
The Star Coronation Ceremony was not wrong. On the eve of the final battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the true King of Soul Masters has arrived!
When Huang Heyun, the Dark Tiger, whose confidence was soaring after defeating his enemies one after another, turned around, he was met with a pair of ferocious, crimson-gold vertical pupils.
This was the deepest fear of his life.
