Chapter 568: Devouring the Starry Sky
Chapter 568: Devouring the Starry Sky
Tong Zhanghong's first reaction was to immediately attempt a blink teleport to dodge.
But at that moment, he felt a noticeable fluctuation in the spatial energy around him.
The teleportation technique seemed to be unusable.
When he tried to use a regular escape technique to evade, it was already too late.
As the Ziyang Spirit Flame rushed towards him, he frantically waved the Starglow Fan.
Instantly, several silver crescents flew out, converging into a large silver crescent that faced the Ziyang Spirit Flame, which resembled the Sun Radiance.
However, how could the stars compete with the sun's radiance?
Even though the silver crescent contained the power of the stars, it was directly dispersed by the Ziyang Spirit Flame's attack.
The Ziyang Spirit Flame, after slightly dimming in color, continued its assault towards Tong Zhanghong.
It struck his shimmering starlight shield.
Even though the Ziyang Spirit Flame had been weakened by the silver crescent from the Starglow Fan, it still retained formidable power.
When it landed on Tong Zhanghong's outer shield, it was as if his shield had been ignited.
Tong Zhanghong was instantly enveloped in purple flames.
Subsequently, the purple flames dissipated, and Tong Zhanghong's protective body shield had completely vanished.
At the same moment, the fire sea below suddenly converged, transforming into a massive pillar of fire that enveloped Tong Zhanghong within it.
The intense scorching aura and the fire attribute's destructive force made Tong Zhanghong feel as if he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
However, as a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, he immediately activated his magical power to resist.
At the same time, a golden ring shot out from within the pillar of fire, heading towards Chu Ning.
Evidently, this Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Starfeather Sect realized that constantly being on the receiving end of Chu Ning's attacks was too passive.
He was attempting to retaliate at this moment.
Upon seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.
With a flick of his finger, a clump of deep purple flames shot out again, meeting the golden ring in midair.
The Ziyang Spirit Flame instantly enveloped this treasure, which was not weak in power.
Tong Zhanghong's heart sank as he no longer felt a connection with the golden ring.
The next scene that caught his eye made his eyes widen in astonishment.
The golden ring, enveloped by the Ziyang Spirit Flame, was gradually turning into nothingness!
"What a domineering spirit flame!"
Tong Zhanghong had seen cultivators use Heavenly Fire before, but this was the first time he had witnessed one with such immense power.
"I've heard that only Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators can refine the Ziyang Spirit Flame. How could a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator possibly possess such a flame?"
Tong Zhanghong's eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, remembering that Chu Ning, with his Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, could simultaneously fight against both of them, he suppressed his astonishment.
"This person's secret techniques are truly bizarre, especially the Ziyang Spirit Flame, which is incredibly powerful. We can't afford to drag this out any longer!"
With these thoughts in mind, Tong Zhanghong clenched the Starglow Fan, then once again unleashed a silver crescent, forcefully breaking through the pillar of fire before him.
At the same time, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
Instantly, dots of starlight emerged from his body, and soon his entire body was enveloped in dense starlight.
Chu Ning was also surprised to find that after he unleashed the Ziyang Spirit Flame, it directly destroyed the golden ring, which seemed to have considerable power.
"It seems the golden ring's power is not weak, mainly due to the magic array on it.
The refining materials used are rather ordinary, which explains its weak defensive capability."
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning was about to unleash another Ziyang Spirit Flame when he noticed the dense starlight surrounding Tong Zhanghong.
He couldn't help but be astonished.
It was the first time he had seen such starlight during the day.
Moreover, the light within a hundred-zhang radius seemed to be drawn towards those stars at this moment.
At this moment, the area around Tong Zhanghong and Chu Ning began to darken, as if they were entering a night sky, slowly enveloped in darkness.
Although he didn't know what secret technique Tong Zhanghong was using, he was aware that the opponent's technique was likely powerful.
Without hesitation, Chu Ning flicked his finger, and a strand of Ziyang Spirit Flame attacked once more.
The Ziyang Spirit Flame continuously absorbed spirit energy in the air, transforming into a purple-gold sun, and struck towards Tong Zhanghong.
At the same time, Chu Ning extended his hand, and a black long spear appeared in his grasp.
It was the Shadow Demon Spear! As Chu Ning channeled his magical power into the Shadow Demon Spear.
The starlight around Tong Zhanghong also changed, with the seven largest starlights transforming into a shape resembling the Big Dipper.
The remaining starlights scattered around, resembling the countless stars in the night sky.
The secret technique Tong Zhanghong was using had created a starry sky.
The darkness in this starry sky seemed capable of devouring all power.
However, the Big Dipper and the surrounding stars didn't evoke a sense of splendor but were filled with killing intent.
It was as if every star in this starry sky could take a life.
Moreover, these stars seemed to be gathering to form a powerful killing move.
"Such a secret technique is truly unprecedented!"
Chu Ning was also astonished by this sight.
He clearly felt that when his divine sense touched the darkness and starlight ahead, it seemed to be absorbed.
And from the dazzling Big Dipper, he could genuinely sense the killer intent.
The commotion on this side was so great that it naturally caught the attention of Dan Tianqi on the other side.
At this moment, he was fighting evenly against Chu Ning, who was holding two treasures, when he noticed the disturbance on Tong Zhanghong's side, and his face flashed with an unusual color.
"To use a secret technique so quickly! Fine, let's do it together!"
As he muttered to himself, Dan Tianqi drove the Star Radiance Sword in his hand, unleashing several fierce attacks.
At the same time, he also recited an incantation like Tong Zhanghong and performed a secret technique.
Another starry sky appeared at this moment, enveloping both Chu Ning and his Primordial Spirit within it.
"Is he going all out? Fine, let's end this!"
Chu Ning's physical body and Primordial Spirit simultaneously plunged into the dark starry sky, and he immediately let out a cold snort.
He quickly took out a jade bottle and dripped a drop of ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Milk into his mouth.
The black light on the Shadow Demon Spear instantly intensified, and then gradually faded into nothingness.
On the other side, a small hand emerged from the Primordial Spirit, and a lotus with interwoven azure and white colors appeared.
Just then, the Zi Yang Spirit Flame, transformed into a sun, shot towards Tong Zhanghong.
It immediately struck the dark night starry sky in front of him.
The dark night starry sky at this moment seemed like a living creature, as if stimulated, and its power suddenly surged.
It completely enveloped and obscured the purple sun.
But the Big Dipper's starlight was about to strike Chu Ning.
However, the next moment, as Chu Ning's mind moved.
The purple sun, like the morning sun, slowly emerged from the dark night starry sky.
Then, it became increasingly dazzling.
The purple flames on it began to burn and spread, dispelling the darkness wherever it passed, and even the scattered starlight was directly devoured by it.
Tong Zhanghong was shocked by this sight.
The Big Dipper, which was originally sweeping towards Chu Ning, suddenly changed direction and attacked the Zi Yang Spirit Flame.
The sun and starlight intertwined at this moment, becoming incredibly dazzling.
But the killer intent within it caused both combatants to secretly tremble.
Chu Ning and Tong Zhanghong were both exerting their full strength.
The Zi Yang Spirit Flame, indeed, was one of the top three on the Heavenly Fire Chart!
After a few breaths of time, the purple flames on the Zi Yang Spirit Flame, transformed into a sun, intensified, devouring one of the stars of the Big Dipper.
Tong Zhanghong realized something was wrong and quickly cast several more spells in an attempt to stabilize the situation.
But what awaited him was a crushing defeat.
Within just five breaths, the Big Dipper, formed by seven stars, was completely devoured by the Zi Yang Spirit Flame!
Tong Zhanghong's secret technique was directly broken, and the surrounding dark starry sky instantly returned to normal.
Only the Zi Yang Spirit Flame, transformed into a sun that devoured the starry sky, became even more dazzling.
"Quick!"
At this moment, Chu Ning extended his finger.
The Zi Yang Spirit Flame instantly tore through the sky and struck Tong Zhanghong, who had appeared due to the devoured dark night starry sky.
The speed was so fast that even this late-stage Primordial Spirit Cultivator had no time to dodge.
Tong Zhanghong's face changed dramatically, and he immediately channeled his magical power into the Starglow Fan in his hand.
At the same time, he threw the silver fan towards the Zi Yang Spirit Flame.
Having just experienced the power of the Zi Yang Spirit Flame, Tong Zhanghong dared not let it get close to him.
For this, he was even willing to sacrifice the Starglow Fan.
But Chu Ning seemed to have anticipated this.
As Tong Zhanghong threw the Starglow Fan, Chu Ning casually pointed his finger, and a Void Finger shot out, hitting the Starglow Fan first despite being launched later.
Under the influence of this spatial force, the Starglow Fan instantly flew several zhang into the air.
The Zi Yang Spirit Flame, however, struck Tong Zhanghong, who was just about to escape, without any hindrance.
"Ahh!!"
The formidable power of the Utmost Yang Fire was fully unleashed upon Tong Zhanghong at this moment.
Even though he was a late-stage Primordial Spirit Cultivator, he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.
Because in that instant of contact, he didn't even have time to activate any defense, and his physical body turned into ashes.
A Primordial Spirit appeared at this moment, surrounded by Infant Fire, forcing its way out.
But his face was deathly pale, his figure swayed, and his aura was extremely weak.
Obviously, Chu Ning's attack not only destroyed his physical body but also severely injured his Primordial Spirit at this moment!
"Junior Brother, save me!"
Tong Zhanghong knew that in his current state, he couldn't escape Chu Ning's attacks, so he couldn't help but cry out for help.
Dan Tianqi, not far away, also realized something was wrong and tried to fly away to rescue him.
But at this moment, a lotus with interwoven azure and white colors bloomed in another dark night starry sky.
The green flame ripples spread out, and wherever they passed, the dark night starry sky was completely annihilated!
A long spear suddenly appeared, tearing through the heavens and appearing before Dan Tianqi, its power causing his hairs to stand on end! At this moment, he dared not think about rescuing anyone and immediately flew back to escape.
In this fleeting moment, Chu Ning had already arrived at Tong Zhanghong's Primordial Spirit using Void Escape.
He casually grabbed the other's Primordial Spirit and held it in his hand, not giving it any chance to struggle before casting several barriers upon it.
Then, he sealed it within a black vessel.
