Chapter 1412: Strong Manifestation

"Heh, do you really think the sword spirit of this divine artifact can give me permanent attribute suppression? You truly underestimate the potential of star force."

It must be admitted that the Star Empress before him was no ordinary being; otherwise, she could not have single-handedly brought the civilization of Yingzhou Continent to the brink of an abyss.

Therefore, Xu Yang never doubted her worth as an opponent, nor did he ever show the slightest contempt for her.

However, Xu Yang remained confident in the power of his Sky-Drawing Divine Artifact.

"I'm not entirely sure if it will have an effect. But if the power of my sword can force you to reveal your strongest form, then it's certainly worth it for me."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the Star Empress let out a cold snort.

She then stepped into the air, making a move Xu Yang had not anticipated. Without hesitation, she plunged two fingers into her own eyes, followed by continuous screams and wails of pain. Yet, at that very moment, two streaks of icy-blue blood, like tears, dripped down the Star Empress's face. Immediately after, her hollow pupils aimed sharply at the sky, and an endless deep blue light burst forth from her shattered eyes.

This deep blue energy light was, in fact, the most vital life source of the Star Empress. It represented the most potent source of power in the lineage of Star Force civilization.

Under the influence of these two deep blue lights, the entire void battlefield within the inner space was instantly ignited by a brilliant deep blue. All elemental forces seemed to break through the Sky-Drawing Divine Artifact's influence and suppression.

What surprised Xu Yang even more was that after this action, all surrounding energy elements within the ancient tree's inner space began to be assimilated by the terrifying deep blue light in an extremely short time. All other elements began to take on the attributes of star force.

Such talent was truly terrifying; even Xu Yang had never witnessed such an incredible method under the grand world system. The ability to assimilate other elemental attributes single-handedly was simply defying the heavens. Such a civilization must not be allowed to threaten any civilization space under the grand world's law system, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

She was like a mother insect with immense reproductive capabilities; if allowed to continue existing, in time, she would birth tens of thousands of offspring from within herself. Slowly, she would devour everything around her. Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Yang realized the immense danger posed by this woman. If she were allowed to continue developing unchecked, not only Yingzhou Continent but likely even the entire grand world system would soon be completely dominated by this Star Empress.

Regardless, in the battlefield within the ancient tree's inner space today, Xu Yang was determined to thoroughly conquer this woman. Otherwise, the future consequences would be unimaginable, inevitably leading to even more uncontrollable and terrifying outcomes.

It was important to note that even Xu Yang's Law of Light could only purify elements of other attributes. The Star Force, however, was far more domineering, capable of directly assimilating elements of other attributes. This was a rule-breaking phenomenon that was originally not allowed within the grand world's law system, yet it had been made a reality by the Star Force lineage before them.

"Your talent is truly astonishing, capable of generating such a collective effect using your own life force. It's truly terrifying. However, I'm also regretful to inform you that even if you completely devour all the elemental forces in this space, you are still far from possessing the strength to defeat me."

Xu Yang exuded such dominance, but he also began to ponder another question: what was the simplest way to suppress this Star Empress before him?

"Hahaha, are you really that confident in yourself? Then I'm truly eager to see if your strength matches the arrogant demeanor you're displaying."

The Star Empress also responded with a defiant attitude. At the same time, her subsequent cultivation technique once again shocked Xu Yang.

The Star Empress, utilizing the brilliant deep blue light birthed from the entire firmament, began frantically gathering and consolidating all the assimilated star force around her. This meant her body had completely transformed into a vortex hidden within a dark abyss; all elemental forces compatible with star force would be assimilated and absorbed into her body. Soon, all elemental essences within the ancient tree's space would become a source of energy for her to wield at will.

Once she achieved absolute control over the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable, as Xu Yang's room for maneuver would be greatly reduced in such a predicament.

"You must stop her from completing this absorption of elemental power, otherwise, you will remain in a passive state." The sword spirit within the Sky-Drawing Divine Artifact spoke again, but even it had no way to stop the Star Empress's current technique. It could only offer advice to its master, Xu Yang, hoping he could find a better way to stop this woman.

"No, it's not possible. Once she activates this cultivation technique, she enters an absolute invulnerable state, and no ordinary means can cause substantial harm to her. Naturally, there's no way to interrupt her frantic absorption of all star-infused elemental forces around her. If I were to attack her with a sufficiently powerful ultimate-kill move, it would likely exceed the maximum power this ancient tree's inner space can withstand. My power would then directly shatter the spatial battlefield, and in that scenario, there would be no hope left for this ancient tree's recovery."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, the divine artifact's sword spirit immediately understood his good intentions. He truly did not want to prematurely end the existence of this ancient tree of life, which had survived for millions of years, simply because he joined this battle. He wanted to do everything in his power to preserve the ancient tree's structural integrity, and currently, Xu Yang knew nothing about the concept of the Seed of Life. He worried that if the ancient tree collapsed prematurely, then even acquiring the Seed of Life would be meaningless. It would no longer be able to restore the incredibly powerful functions of the original ancient tree of life. In that case, the entire civilization of Yingzhou Continent would also be completely brought to an end.
