Chapter 1401: Resolving the Catastrophe

"I refuse to believe your petty tricks can stop my Star Power!"

As expected, more and more stars and energy subsequently converged on the surface of Xu Yang's phantom body.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang's eight qi vortexes activated simultaneously, seemingly reaching the limit of their counter-capability.

Following this, all the black light on his body began to rapidly disappear, eventually replaced by an all-white appearance. This transformation made the silhouette of Xu Yang's phantom body within the light curtain more transparent and brilliant than ever before.

It was as if the entire night embraced a white halo. This scene caused all the human powerhouses on Treasure Mountain to erupt in wild cheers. Even if the whole world succumbed to darkness, their boss remained the last beacon of light. Perhaps this was truly the unparalleled aspect of their boss; everyone felt this sentiment in their hearts.

However, they never expected this was merely the prelude to Xu Yang's phantom body unleashing its true combat form.

Next, Xu Yang let out a roar, and dozens of qi vortexes finally materialized out of thin air, supported by his phantom body's immensely powerful spiritual energy. However, because this was merely a phantom body and not Xu Yang's true form, the tenth qi vortex that materialized was not entirely clear and could only maintain a relatively stable operational state. It was far from being able to unleash the true power of Xu Yang's main body.

Yet, even so, the moment the tenth qi vortex activated, his entire body shone with extreme white light. The instant the resonant vibrations generated by the nine internal qi vortexes and the tenth qi vortex were ignited, all Star Power in the void five meters around Xu Yang was completely cut off. This was precisely the situation that occurred in that very moment.

This also granted Xu Yang's main body an unprecedented enlightenment. The tenth qi vortex could isolate the void in an instant. If Xu Yang's main body were to unleash the tenth qi vortex's devouring power and gather all the surrounding Star Power onto himself, would it not also create a temporary state of spatial isolation? Under such a state, if he were to apply the Law of the God of Light, it should not cause destructive effects to the entire Yingzhou Continent. Only the portion of the void enveloped by Xu Yang's spiritual energy would be destroyed.

"So that's how it is! With ten qi vortexes activated simultaneously, isolating the void is no longer an impossible fantasy. If I combine this with the Space-Time Treasure Box and fix the isolation duration within my control, it would be enough for me to unleash the Law of the God of Light once. As long as I can, at a critical moment, simultaneously lock onto myself and the true Empress of Treasure Mountain, then I will be confident in applying the full power of the Law of the God of Light solely to that Wraith Empress. This way, I will naturally have a method to resolve this catastrophe."

With this thought, Xu Yang's main body felt his desire to fight instantly surge again. Such emotional fluctuations naturally influenced the mood of his phantom body on the battlefield below, and for a moment, the tenth qi vortex's devouring power expanded even further.

"Damn it! I can't believe you possess such incredible means of resistance. In that case, face my strongest power! Starfall!"

As soon as the Third Star Venerable finished speaking, he unleashed an even more powerful subsequent attack without hesitation. Above them, a brilliant star was seen rapidly falling from the void at a visible pace. Under the gaze of everyone around Treasure Mountain, it transformed into a massive meteor and plunged towards Xu Yang's phantom body.

"My heavens! Has this guy gone mad? He actually made a living meteor fall from thin air! This is unbelievable. How powerful must one's control be to achieve this? He truly lives up to his title as the Third Star Venerable among the Twelve Star Venerables, displaying such might. If our boss hadn't personally arrived, probably none of us would have been able to resist."

Only Xu Yang's phantom body, in the very next instant, raised its left arm. Immensely powerful physical energy rapidly converged there. Utilizing the tenth qi vortex's devouring ability, it continuously drained all elemental power from Xu Yang's phantom body. What reaction would occur when the meteor struck the tenth qi vortex's concurrently active power barrier? No one could provide an answer.

Rumble! The very next instant, the light curtain in the sky, which had originally reflected the Third Star Venerable and Xu Yang's phantom body, was completely consumed by brilliant white light. The sky, in the eyes of all onlookers, instantly turned into a blank expanse. No one knew what changes had occurred between Xu Yang's phantom body and the Third Star Venerable's main body the moment the explosion happened.

Not until the terrifying white light's impact gradually dissipated did the scenes in the localized battlefield become clear again. Only then did everyone see that after the massive meteor collided with the primal power condensed by Xu Yang's phantom body, all the Star Power gathered by the Third Star Venerable completely vanished. Xu Yang's phantom body had also vanished, leaving no one certain whether the powerful force had shattered the phantom body created by their boss, or what had happened. Just as everyone exchanged confused glances, puzzled by the situation, Xu Yang's phantom body reappeared out of thin air and, with lightning speed, charged towards the Third Star Venerable's back. Its movement speed and all other attributes remained completely unaffected.

Evidently, the victor of the recent clash of techniques was now clear. The Third Star Venerable's most powerful Starfall technique was not ineffective; rather, Xu Yang used a 'shifting flowers and grafting wood' maneuver, causing its invisible power to collide with his own condensed tenth qi vortex. Although Xu Yang's phantom body's primal power technique system temporarily failed afterward, his phantom body also broke free from its passive state. The Star Servant effect that had surrounded him completely vanished. After recovering his mobility, Xu Yang unhesitatingly launched a second wave of offense.

However, this was something the Third Star Venerable could not do, as the vast Star Power he commanded was entirely channeled externally, unlike Xu Yang, who directly utilized his internal power. Consequently, after unleashing such a technique, there was a considerable cooldown period. During this cooldown, the Third Star Venerable was at his weakest; he simply couldn't instantly recover his original combat capability like Xu Yang's phantom body. Thus, when facing his opponent, he naturally appeared so fatigued and utterly lacking any competitiveness. He could only watch helplessly as Xu Yang's phantom body furiously eroded his physical form.
