Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1780: Chapter 1334: Kings vs. New Emperor (Part 4)

And what is the result of such a costly strike?

Everyone in the Blue Sea, in heaven and earth, was closely watching the space ahead.

The attack and kill divine technique fully unleashed by three experts was an terrifying offensive that no king-level being could possibly withstand.

Yet their opponent was emperor-level!

The spirit light instantly vanished, and in the void that had collapsed beyond repair, Gui’s figure again appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Covered in scars, his face slightly pale, with a fist-sized charred blood hole right in the middle of his chest, his aura had quietly diminished somewhat.

"Damn it, can’t we kill him yet!" Sect Master Yang couldn’t help muttering under his breath.

Everyone outside felt a chill in their hearts, yet they understood that emperor-level beings are not that easy to kill.

Ye Xiaose said solemnly, "However, enduring this attack, he has likely suffered considerable consumption."

At the emperor level, the external body is merely a vessel of life; even if hit in critical areas, it won’t die immediately unless the origin is completely depleted.

Simply put, it’s like a "health bar" in a game.

The previous damage to Gui was negligible, probably less than one percent.

But now, although Ling Xiao and the others’ combined strike could not kill Gui, it inflicted some damage.

It’s just that... after exhausting all their efforts, they still couldn’t severely wound him, an outcome obviously unsatisfactory for everyone.

And on Gui’s side, he also seemed quite displeased.

Just watching Gui’s expressionless face, he raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, the green light flowing to erase and repair the numerous wounds, yet a surge of increasingly intense killing intent brewed in his eyes.

"Impressive, impressive..."

Gui clapped his hands, his cold and killing gaze sweeping over everyone.

"I admit, you all indeed possess the slightest possibility to kill me.

Even though this slightest possibility is ’one percent’, or even ’one in a thousand’, ’one in ten thousand’, it nonetheless exists.

However... congratulations, you have succeeded in angering me."

The previous attack may have caused some harm, but not seriously, just some "surface wounds". Yet the combined strike just now truly made Gui "break defences"!

Such wounds, if inflicted dozens of times, could indeed kill Gui!

Gui was not frightened by this, but a group of king-level beings truly acting as if they could slaughter an emperor? This, as a high-ranked life form having just ascended to emperor-level, Gui could not tolerate!

Slaughtering an emperor would be a legendary event in the Great Thousand Universe, sung by everyone.

Yet for the emperor-level beings slaughtered in the story, it would forever be recorded in the universe’s history, circulating across countless worlds as a "pillar of shame"!

Gui was not yet slaughtered and did not believe he would be slaughtered afterward, but the mere possibility of being slaughtered already filled Gui with enormous rage.

These lower lifeforms struggling like trapped beasts wouldn’t really think they could slaughter an emperor, would they?

"As a response, next, I shall completely eliminate that ’possibility’!"

In the words, green light surged from Gui’s eyes, his hands joined as he hailed: "Sky-reaching!"

With Gui’s low roar, the entire Tree Heart City began shaking violently, and even the Secret Realm of Chaotic Star Domain seemed somewhat unstable!

"Hmm? What’s this?!"

"Look below!"

Everyone exclaimed in shock, seeing the ground shattered, countless crystal-clear, glazed-like Divine Tree branches breaking through the earth, their leaves soaring to the sky, root hairs filling the city, indeed forming a colossal Divine Tree!

"It’s the Sky-reaching Divine Tree!" Everyone’s expressions turned grave.

Gui is the essence and intelligence of the Sky-reaching Divine Tree, so for him, it’s like a "companion divine artifact".

Only, the Sky-reaching Divine Tree is used to maintain the stability of the Chaotic Star Domain, especially after Gui ascends to emperor level.

Now Gui has summoned the Sky-reaching Divine Tree without restraint, clearly furious to the extreme, with an overwhelming intent to kill!

For everyone, this is not good news!

Gui walked to the Divine Tree trunk, green light flowing from his palm, probing into the trunk as if grasping something.

The next moment, spirit light flickered on the Divine Tree, trembling once sharply, and as Gui withdrew his hand, a fist-sized, gem-like "Heart of the Divine Tree" appeared in his palm.

Everyone exclaimed, "What’s he doing?!"

In the astonished gazes of the crowd, Gui directly pressed the Heart of the Divine Tree to his chest.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, dazzling green light erupted like the sun, blinding everyone so they couldn’t see clearly, only vaguely witnessing the Heart of the Divine Tree merging with Gui’s chest, countless Divine Tree powers spreading like green veins throughout his body...

Within a few breaths, the spirit light of the Divine Tree dimmed, and Gui surfaced again before everyone.

His eyes surged with green light, his entire skin lush with verdancy, and at the center of his chest, a heart of divine tree entwined with green threads and flowing divine light.

In an instant, not only did an even more terrifying aura fill the air, but Gui’s original depleted origin also began to recover visibly.

"Oh no!"

The faces of the Blue Sea crowd changed drastically; after all the efforts, they had barely inflicted some damage on Gui, but now that Sky-reaching Divine Tree could replenish his origin?

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat foreseeing this.

Glazed Tianqing similarly holds the ability to replenish vitality and repair the origin. Although emperor-level origin must be higher than king-level, with Sky-reaching Divine Tree as a divine artifact, it shouldn’t be difficult to replenish.

Even though supplementing origin doesn’t seem to be the primary ability of the Sky-reaching Divine Tree, the speed isn’t fast, yet under the current circumstances, it’s enough to make everyone despair!

Not to mention, the Heart of the Divine Tree probably brought more enhancements to Gui.

Before despair set in, Gui’s figure vanished, reappearing before Ling Xiao.

"Hmm? So fast!" Many in the field didn’t even catch a glimpse.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, though startled but still composed, immediately swinging a fist enveloped in black light to strike.

"Clang!!"

Amid the explosive blast, a blood mist erupted from Ling Xiao’s arm, which was swiftly erased under the desolate pattern.

Ling Xiao’s pupils contracted, feeling as if he was hitting a copper wall, unable to even budge the opponent.

As to the opponent, having merged with the Heart of the Divine Tree, the original Divine Tree body seemed to gain an unknown amount of energy, even Ling Xiao’s fist hardly could block it!

Gui launched another assault, in an instant exchanging dozens of moves with Ling Xiao, then with a "bang", sent Ling Xiao flying.

"Ugh!"

Ling Xiao stabilized his figure, blood mist exploding over him, and the desolate pattern capable of erasing wounds seemed to reach its limit, dispersing like smoke after a brief blur.

Unlike the manifestation in Da Huang, it’s unquestionable that if the entire desolate pattern dissipates, Ling Xiao might perish on the spot!

At this moment, Reinhardt, with time acceleration, appeared before Gui, the blazing sword light piercing towards the divine heart with unstoppable sword speed.

Yet as Reinhardt’s sword edge touched Gui’s chest, the Holy Sword and himself seemed frozen by an astonishing force, unable to advance an inch.

Gui didn’t dodge, sneered coldly, "With only king-level strength, you intend to destroy the Heart of the Divine Tree?"

The next moment, Gui raised his hand, the green light surging, his palm swelled violently like a tree growing, slapping at Reinhardt, "crash" smashing him.

Reinhardt reappeared in the air behind, his face suddenly turning pale, a thread of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Having merged the Heart of the Divine Tree, even Gui’s domain seems much stronger, further suppressing various laws!

In an instant, both Ling Xiao and Reinhardt were wounded.

As Su Yuan originally gripped the Demon Saber intending to help, his eyes subtly moved, seemingly sensing something.

"Is it the time?"

Su Yuan turned his hand, revealing a black-golden Star Core in his right hand.

Upon it, brilliant golden light shimmered, emitting a time-stopping wave...
