Chapter 2791: Chapter 2791: Ziyun Starlord

"Actually broke through in this situation!"

"It’s truly a miracle!"

"Seeing the commotion he caused during his breakthrough, I’m afraid after breaking through, he will have few rivals in the same realm!"

"Before his breakthrough, he could withstand ten consecutive strikes from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor. After his breakthrough, his strength is several times greater than before. It seems the Scorpion Clan Ancestor will find it not so easy to crush him!"

"Hard to say! He just broke through, his realm is unstable. If he’s not careful, he might be struck back to his original realm!"

"That’s true... but I have faith in him!"

...

The surrounding powerful figures observing the battle had varied reactions upon seeing Fang Bai not only survive the ferocious attacks from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor but even break through to a new realm because of them.

The gods from the Emperor’s Palace naturally cheered and shouted praises of the Palace Master’s prowess.

Led by Zishi, the Nebula Team’s powerful figures also displayed joyful expressions, as Fang Bai was on the same side as them.

In contrast, the powerful figures from the Scorpion camp all looked grim.

Their Ancestor made an appearance but couldn’t handle a minor deity at the initial stage of the True God Realm, and instead allowed him to enhance his cultivation level and significantly increase his strength, causing confidence among the Scorpion Clan experts, including Scorpion, to fall again.

"Mid-stage True God Realm... still not a match for a Divine Venerable Realm expert!"

After his breakthrough, Fang Bai, while sensing the powerful force surging within him, remained highly vigilant amidst his joy.

He knew that unless he broke through another small realm to reach the high rank of the True God Realm, he would still struggle in a confrontation with the Scorpion Clan Ancestor of the Divine Venerable Realm.

However, with his current strength, even if he couldn’t defeat the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, his survival ability had increased several times, not to the point that he had no hope of escape in the end.

"To withstand my ten consecutive strikes and even harness my power for a breakthrough, it seems your physique as this minor deity is indeed extraordinary..."

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor was shocked by Fang Bai’s extraordinary aptitude and did not rush to initiate another wave of attacks. Instead, he intently observed Fang Bai, wanting to see what distinguished him from other powerful figures.

"You... possess more than one Innate Spiritual Root, right? Could it be you have an Extraordinary Holy Body with two Innate Spiritual Roots?"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor looked at Fang Bai, speaking somewhat uncertainly.

He knew that Fang Bai certainly wouldn’t answer him, and he continued, "It must be! An Innate Spirit Body with just one Innate Spiritual Root wouldn’t have such a strong physique as yours!"

Seeing Fang Bai remain silent, he thought he guessed correctly and couldn’t help but laugh, "An Extraordinary Holy Body with two Innate Spiritual Roots... this is a rare cultivation treasure! This Venerable won’t let you slip away!"

He licked his lips, the greed in his eyes intensifying, his aura spreading to lock onto Fang Bai.

Originally intending to kill Fang Bai, upon realizing Fang Bai’s Extraordinary Holy Physique, he changed his mind, now aiming to capture him alive. Then, he could seek an Alchemist to refine Fang Bai’s essence and blood into a Divine Elixir, thereby greatly enhancing the Elixir’s efficacy and aiding his own cultivation.

Fang Bai understood his intentions from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s words and sneered, "You couldn’t kill me, yet you still want to capture me alive? Keep dreaming!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor chuckled, "That’s uncertain! Let me show you my true powerful means!"

As soon as his words fell, his figure split into ten, then a hundred, then a thousand...

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Scorpion Clan Ancestors surrounded Fang Bai, indistinguishable from each other.

Simultaneously, thousands of giant palms imbued with Supreme Divine Power reached out from all directions toward Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s expression turned serious, his left hand wielding the Pangu Axe, and his right holding the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade. These two Divine Artifacts transformed into dense knife lights and axe shadows, forming a Defense Qi Shield around him, protecting his entire body.

Such actions, though consuming considerable Divine Power, were the best defense against attacks from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor coming from all directions.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

The crashing sounds echoed incessantly, as Divine Power-infused giant palms landed on the Defense Qi Shield formed by knife lights and axe shadows around Fang Bai, then dissipated and vanished.

Meanwhile, the Defense Qi Shield around Fang Bai gradually thinned with the consumption of Divine Power.

The corners of the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s mouth twitched into a sinister smile.

He knew that when Fang Bai’s Divine Power ran out and his Defense Qi Shield disappeared, it would be the perfect moment for his opportunistic attack.

He dispersed into a thousand shadows, each casting a palm, with the palm force from his original body being the strongest.

Confident that other powerful figures couldn’t identify his original body’s position, he didn’t realize Fang Bai had a keen sense and easily pinpointed his original body. Therefore, Fang Bai retained a portion of Divine Power to handle the strongest strike from his original body.

The gods from the Emperor’s Palace and other powerful figures like Zishi watched anxiously from a distance as Fang Bai was bombarded by layers of palm shadows.

They wished to step forward and assist, but couldn’t get close due to the overwhelming pressure released by the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, which repelled them for miles.

At this moment, a stream of light rushed out from the Purple Cloud Star several tens of thousands of miles away, reaching the scene within seconds.

"Such powerful aura..."

Both the Scorpion Clan Ancestor and Fang Bai sensed a strong aura approaching from afar and couldn’t help but feel stirred.

Their Divine Sense Diffusion revealed a stately purple-clad elder standing in the celestial space where the aura originated.

"Ziyun Starlord!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor, experienced and highly knowledgeable, couldn’t help but have his pupil slightly contract upon seeing that purple-clad elder, mentally exclaiming trouble.

That purple-clad elder was the Starlord of Purple Cloud Star, whose cultivation level equaled the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, both being Divine Venerable Realm experts.

Although the Scorpion Clan Ancestor had no direct dealings with Ziyun Starlord, he had heard that Ziyun Starlord was extremely protective. Now, as he was assisting Scorpion to deal with powerful figures, which included the Nebula Team from Purple Cloud Star, he wondered if this Ziyun Starlord would intervene.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor did not fear Ziyun Starlord but knew that once this guy got involved, his chances of capturing Fang Bai alive might vanish.

Moreover, if Ziyun Starlord discovered Fang Bai’s Extraordinary Holy Body, it was uncertain whether he would covet Fang Bai just like him.

"Who could be showing off such power here, turns out it’s the Scorpion Clan Ancestor!"

Ziyun Starlord glanced at the Scorpion Clan Ancestor sideways, speaking in a sinister tone, "However, this area of celestial space falls under my Purple Cloud Star’s jurisdiction; did you get this Starlord’s permission to cause trouble here?"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor realized his intent to intervene upon hearing his words, could only temporarily cease his aggression toward Fang Bai, retreat a thousand feet, and join the Scorpion Team experts.

"This minor deity is a deadly enemy of our Scorpion Clan, having fled here, I wish to capture him for punishment! Please, Ziyun Starlord, grant me this favor!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor respectfully clasped his fists toward Ziyun Starlord, speaking pleasantly.

Ziyun Starlord ignored the Scorpion Clan Ancestor and instead turned to look at Zishi, asking, "Zishi, is what he said true?"
