He hadn't placed Xia Luo in his eyes at first, but after exchanging blows with Xia Luo, he realized how terrifying Xia Luo was. Xia Luo's control over star energy was too strong, and all of his attacks had been neutralized. To be more precise, Xia Luo's lockbreaking techniques were useless against Xia Luo. Furthermore, Xia Luo didn't use any battle techniques, and his attacks were very casual. It was as if he could fight however he wanted.
Tai Yuanjun was sullen. His star energy transformed into a flute, and with a song of farewell, he sent off the Nine Heavens.
The music from the Desolator turned into ripples in front of Xia Luo and spread out, unable to touch him at all.
Tai Yuanjun was astonished. This person was also a Cruiser, and it seemed like he had just broken through. Despite that, he was still able to block Tai Yuanjun's attack.
Xia Luo looked at Tai Yuan Jun calmly. "Second on the Top 100 Rankings, you live up to your reputation."
Tai Yuanjun stared at Xia Luo. "Who are you?"
Xia Luo smiled. "I studied at the Astral Combat Academy, and I was Lu Yin's classmate."
Tai Yuanjun was shocked. "You're from the Innerverse?"
Xia Luo smiled. "Not really."
Origin Lord Chang Xiao spun around in his palm, then charged towards Xia Luo. "I don't care where you're from. Get out of my way!"
Xia Luo stepped aside and looked past Tai Yuanjun at the surface of the sea not far away. There, a graceful figure was slowly approaching. She wore a strange mask that was half red and half white. It was the Crying Girl.
The appearance of the tearful woman caused them to stop.
Although the Teardrop Lady was only the second-ranked disciple of the Hall of Honor, her battle record was not much worse than that of the Prime Clear Lineage. This was especially true when she had battled against one of the Ten Arbiters, Liu Tianmu, before the Star Tower contest. It was rumored that she had defeated Liu Tianmu, which meant that she possessed terrifying strength.
Suddenly, a terrifying wave of star energy swept out, causing the surface of the sea to boil and the sky to freeze.
Tai Yuanjun, Qing Guangshen, and the others were stunned. "An Enlighter?"
The tearful lady immediately erupted with the power of an Enlighter and used her innate gift. Ripples spread out and gradually enveloped the entire foot of the mountain. She wanted to use her innate gift of hypnosis to knock everyone out.
Qing Guangshen's eyes narrowed as a formless screen of light appeared in front of him. It was exactly the same as the one Coquettish had used to deal with Lu Yin. Following that, all sorts of weapons appeared in his hands as he attacked the Tearful Lady.
Lu Yin was the only one present who could fight against the Crying Lady. Shu Jing would not fight against her, and as a Hunter, Lu Yin was the only opponent that the Crying Lady cared about.
The tearful woman's gaze was fixed on him from the beginning to the end, but no one believed that he could defeat the tearful woman. If it was Supreme God who came, there would still be a glimmer of hope, just a glimmer.
At the foot of the mountain, the Xiaoye King and Tai Yisheng were battling. One sealed his opponent's star energy, while the other weakened his opponent's rune lines. Both of their attacks were strange and difficult to deal with.
The Little Leaf King appeared cold on the surface, but he was actually feeling quite helpless. Back in his era, there had not been so many experts, and there had not been any Ten Arbiters. However, in this era, the Ten Arbiters and the heirs of the various great powers in the Neoverse were all very difficult to deal with.
Other than the Little Leaf King and Supreme God, there was also Summer, Little Stutterer, and the others at the foot of the mountain, trying their best to climb up.
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, green grass appeared on the surface of the sea. It looked full of vitality, but there was an indescribable strangeness to it.
Normal people would know that it was impossible for grass to grow on the sea. There was only one possibility, and that was the appearance of Winged Mavis.
The Mavis Family had controlled the economy of the Human Star Domain since ancient times, and their foundations were unfathomable. As the core successor of the Mavis Family, Ascension Mavis was publicly acknowledged as a top-notch expert even if she had never made a move. She was an existence on par with the Prime Clear.
Her appearance made everyone stop what they were doing.
"This inheritance has nothing to do with you. Leave," Ascension Mavis said calmly as her gaze swept across everyone.
Supreme God and the Little Leaf King stopped fighting, while Summer stared at Ascension Mavis.
As the top of the Top 100 Rankings, he had once challenged someone from the Mavis Family in the Innerverse. His greatest impression of the Mavis Family was that they were rich, and their strength was not just any ordinary strength. He did not know what these women ate to be so strong.
This woman before him was the only expert sent by the Mavis Family to participate in the Star Tower contest, so her strength was likely to be ridiculously high.
Little Stutterer hid in the distance and looked at Ascension Mavis. He swallowed hard, feeling a little afraid. That woman might be very powerful. With that thought in mind, he immediately approached the Little Leaf King.
The Little Leaf King sized up Ascension Mavis. In his era, there had been a Treeheart Inheritor from the Mavis Family, and their strength had been unshakable. He wondered how strong the Treeheart Inheritor would be in this era.
Ascension Mavis knew that they would not retreat just because she said so. As she thought about it, the grass beneath her feet spread and covered the entire surface of the sea. Then, the grass grew wildly and twisted together to form a giant green fist, just like the one she had used to deal with the Spirit Palace.
Dozens of giant fists smashed towards everyone.
At the foot of the mountain, there were more than twenty cultivators engaged in a fierce battle. At this moment, all of them were facing the green fists. One cultivator tried to resist, but he was sent flying the moment he made contact.
The rest of the cultivators were the same.
Little Stutterer immediately fled, as he would not fight recklessly.
The Little Leaf King used Star Transmutation, and the star energy around Ascension Mavis transformed into leaves that trapped her.
Ascension Mavis was surprised, and she smiled as she looked at the Little Leaf King. Her eyes flashed with a verdant green, and in the next moment, the leaves that had trapped her transformed back into star energy. Star Transmutation had failed.
The Little Leaf King's pupils shrank, and his expression turned sluggish. He then used Star Transmutation to trap the rest of the cultivators.
Tai Yishen stared at the green fists that were smashing towards him. He was using the True Scripture of Eon Evolution to weaken the rune lines on the fists, but the star energy around his body transformed into leaves that trapped him. He turned to glare at the Little Leaf King, and when he saw the latter's sluggish expression, his heart sank. He thought about the Mavis family's innate gift and cursed inwardly. With a thump, his body was smashed into the sea by the green fists.
If Tai Yishen was like this, then the rest of the cultivators were even more so.
Ascension Mavis had only used a single attack to send everyone, including Tai Yishen, to the bottom of the sea. The Little Leaf King was also sent to the bottom of the sea under her control, but the green fists did not dissipate. Instead, they transformed into grass that bound everyone and pinned them to the bottom of the sea.
Ascension Mavis lowered her head and glanced at them, then walked up the mountain with a faint smile.
Suddenly, she paused and turned around. A figure rushed out from the bottom of the sea in a rather sorry state, but he had managed to break free from the grass. It was Tai Yishen.
"You were able to escape?" Ascension Mavis was shocked.
Tai Yishen panted heavily, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His pupils transformed into runes as he stared at Ascension Mavis. A screen of star energy appeared around him, and the weapons in his hands continuously changed. Finally, they transformed into five black spheres that he released, and they spiraled towards Ascension Mavis.
Ascension Mavis smiled. "Rune Technologies, Omniscient Realm. You are the first person in your generation to reach the Omniscient Realm. You are indeed worthy of being a top descendant of the Home of the Gods. It's a pity that you haven't reached the Enlighter realm yet."
The five black spheres surrounded Ascension Mavis and then exploded one after another. Each explosion created an unparalleled shockwave that tore through the void. The five spheres all exploded at the same time, and their combined power caused the void around Ascension Mavis to shatter.
Even with Tai Yishen's strength, it was not easy to create these five black spheres, and this was his strongest attack.
As the dust settled, Ascension Mavis appeared in front of Tai Yishen without any injuries. The green grass slowly retreated, and there was not even a wrinkle on her clothes.
Tai Yishen was shocked. How was this possible?
Ascension Mavis looked at him. "Since when has your Home of the Gods ever defeated my Mavis family?"
As she spoke, she tapped lightly with her finger, and the grass around Tai Yishen's legs suddenly tightened. He howled and immediately weakened the grass's rune lines, but it was too late. His entire body was dragged to the bottom of the sea, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he gradually lost his strength.
Ascension Mavis turned around and continued climbing the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain where countless people were chanting, the Hui family's descendant, Hui Santong, and the You family's descendant, You Qin, were also engaged in an intense battle. Besides them, there were also Qing Longlong, Starsibyl, and more than ten other cultivators.
Starsibyl's battles were stifling, as she was often able to predict the future and predict the future ahead of time.
The cultivators who fought with her were all disgusted by her and left.
She looked up at the illusion and silently listened to the countless people chanting, as if she could receive the inheritance from this position.
In the distance, Qiu Shi appeared with a calm expression. She had just arrived at the foot of the mountain when nearly a thousand stars revolved around her and covered everyone. Following that, she unleashed a Sirius Palm that caused the stars to explode, and all of the cultivators were affected.
Hui Santong silently cursed at this crazy woman and used the Hui Secret Art to break through all battle techniques. He shuttled through the exploding stars and appeared in front of Qiu Shi, a golden meteor appearing in his palm.
Qiu Shi looked up, and her figure disappeared as You Weeping appeared in her original position. She had used a secret technique, Stellar Transposition, to switch places with You Weeping.
You Weeping had been dodging the exploding stars, but who knew that she would suddenly be switched places? Not only did she have to face the exploding stars, but she also had to face Hui Santong's golden meteor.
Her reaction was a step too slow, and her shoulder was struck by the golden meteor. Her face turned pale as she fell to the bottom of the sea.
The other cultivators also fell to the bottom of the sea one by one, and it was like rain.
Qiu Shi waved her hand, and the power of an Enlighter erupted. The stars revolved once more before exploding, and the power was even more terrifying than before. Hui Santong was shocked, and he could not use the Hui Secret Art continuously. He could only try his best to dodge, but this Sirius Palm had caused the entire space to explode, and he could not avoid it. He was injured by the exploding stars and also fell to the bottom of the sea.
This was Qiu Shi's power level. So what if she was a descendant of the Hui family? The Seven Courts had long since gone downhill, and in a few more years, they might not even be able to protect Progenitor Chen's tomb.
She looked at Starsibyl, who had not moved at all from start to finish. However, the exploding stars had not been able to harm her at all.
Starsibyl met Qiu Shi's gaze and smiled. "I don't plan on climbing the mountain."
Qiu Shi's gaze trembled. "You're this generation's Starsibyl?
Help me divine who the Five Astral Children are. "
Starsibyl smiled. "There's no need for that." She looked at the five mountains. "There are five directions. You've already divided them up, haven't you?"
Qiu Shi's gaze was calm as she looked deeply at Starsibyl. She then walked past Starsibyl and walked up the mountain. "Don't try to be smart, or else you'll get burned."
Starsibyl did not say anything, and she quietly watched Qiu Shi climb the mountain.
Five mountains, five directions, and five peerless successors. They also represented the Five Sons of the Stars.
