Chapter 865: Plot of Tutan Reappears

As expected, upon hearing the dark blue spirit's prompt, the red-haired youth finally gritted his teeth and made his choice.

"Alright, I won't let this brat take everything from me! It's the responsibility of us, the Thirteen Protectors, to defend the dignity of Lord Xi Huang."

With a wave of his hand, the dark blue soul light beside him instantly vanished, replaced by a formidable, massive dark blue scythe divine artifact in the red-haired youth's grip!

"My evil spirit possession mode grants me formidable combat power, capable of instantly defeating Heavenly Martial Artists. As punishment for you, I will use the most powerful and cruel methods to strip you of your dignity."

With those words, the two powers merged perfectly. The red-haired youth's body became imbued with half blue energy, his ghostly smile turned grim, and the intense, suffocating desire for slaughter emanated from him.

However, none of this made much difference to Xu Yang. In the face of absolute power, flashy tricks could only prolong his demise for a limited time and held no other meaning whatsoever.

"Heh, you think you're capable now? Go on, try it. I'll let you strike three times."

Xu Yang beckoned to his opponent, and in an instant, the massive scythe energy slammed into Xu Yang's body.

"Haha, it must be said, your offensive power this time is much stronger than your previous weakened state. At least it proves that the price you paid for devouring the evil spirit's power was worth it."

Xu Yang stood perfectly still, his expression calm, offering his opponent a fair assessment. Unfortunately, even with this, the outcome remained the same; no change would occur whatsoever.

He couldn't win. He still couldn't win!

Boom! The second scythe blade struck out, unleashing a power that seemed to tear through the void. Xu Yang still didn't dodge.

"This strike of mine will tear apart the sanctions of the void laws, rendering all forms of defense ineffective. I'd like to see how you can continue to be so arrogant!"

Xu Yang smiled, "What I rely on is beyond your comprehension."

Boom!! The powerful scythe blade slammed down heavily, yet it was still no different from before. Xu Yang was completely unharmed, not even taking a single step back.

"It seems a great secret is hidden within him. That is the fundamental reason you cannot break his defense; the problem is no longer with you."

The evil spirit's words greatly enlightened the red-haired youth.

"Then tell me, what should I do! This guy's power is too bizarre!"

"Heh, gather the power of the stars. Unleash our most powerful combination technique, or else you cannot defeat this person."

Xu Yang simply watched the two of them quietly, as they devised their combat strategy, idly picking his teeth from boredom.

Finally, in that sudden instant, two stars behind them simultaneously erupted with incredibly dazzling light.

An endless source of power spontaneously connected with the two soul bodies, beginning to frantically condense stellar power within their forms.

In an instant, a vast stellar aura filled every corner of the entire independent void space.

This time, the fluctuation of this power truly astonished Xu Yang.

"I see..." Xu Yang thought. "This kid's greatest asset has always been these two stars! Possessing true stellar attributes is something no single life form can contend with. Although these two stars are small in scale, they are small but complete, possessing all the unique void elements of a star. The vast oppressive force they emit is simply something no single cultivator's technique can contend with."

In simple terms, what Xu Yang had to face at this moment was a power of a different concept and realm, surpassing the scope of two individuals fighting alone.

"No matter how strong one person is, they cannot easily destroy a small world, let alone two? These two stars are the best medium to bury you."

"Falling Star - Judgment!"

Finally, a blurred judgment mark appeared above Xu Yang's head. Endless stellar energy gathered there, soon concentrating the full oppressive power of both stars solely upon Xu Yang.

"Hmph, you think that with such reliance, you can do as you please before me?"

The next moment, Xu Yang summoned his ultimate trump card: an incredibly dazzling dark golden light slowly emerged.

It was a divine artifact, refined to perfection, its form grand and elegant. The aura it exuded, combined with Xu Yang's own aura of might, could only be described as utterly perfect.

"What... what kind of weapon is this!"

The red-haired youth voiced this question, but this time even the dark blue evil spirit within him couldn't provide an answer.

"Damn it, this is dangerous!"

Indeed, in the very next instant, Xu Yang merged perfectly with the Tutian divine artifact. How could the life-bound divine artifact of the Flame-Beacon Limitless Divine King be compared to the mere two falling stars before him?

RUMBLE!

With a single sword strike, power exploded to its extreme wherever it passed. A sword light hundreds of feet long descended with oppressive might, and in a single clash, it shattered everything that blocked his path.

A world-shattering surge erupted, and the two stars were shattered into dust.

And what the red-haired youth gained, naturally, was a completely futile outcome.

"It's over..."

Xu Yang put away the Tutian divine artifact and proudly approached the now empty-handed red-haired youth.

"Now, do you know what kind of existence you are? In front of me, you are nothing."

The red-haired youth was enraged to the extreme, but he knew he had lost, completely and utterly, with no chance of turning the tables.

"I accept my loss; I am at your mercy. But I still want to know where your power truly comes from! This is completely beyond the scope of power found on the Yingzhou Continent!"

Xu Yang sneered, "I come from the edge of desolation; I am not from this world at all. If it weren't for being in this independent small world space, I wouldn't be able to unleash these transcendent powers of mine. What you people see of me is merely less than twenty percent of my full strength."

The red-haired youth finally gave up hope. He understood that having encountered such an unyielding opponent, no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.

Looking at the shattered scythe beside him, the red-haired youth finally waved his hand helplessly and threw out the third golden key.

"Good luck, powerful one."

Xu Yang chuckled softly and did not eliminate him. However, having lost his greatest reliance and the supply of stellar power, the red-haired youth likely couldn't even defeat an Earth Martial Artist anymore.

Most importantly, having lost the supply from the Eternal Life Source, it was impossible for him to stir up any trouble.

After obtaining it, Xu Yang departed from the third Five-Element Array Eye position and began moving towards his next objective.

What surprised Xu Yang was that this third Array Eye tombstone was completely different from the previous ones. It was no longer a blank stele, but surprisingly had a comical dog head carved onto it, as if commemorating a fallen pet dog.

For a moment, Xu Yang couldn't bring himself to shatter this tombstone, and he calmly observed it for a long time.
