Chapter 1928 - 627: Candle God
When Chu Xisheng borrowed the Life Heavenly Rule from the Southern Pole Star Lord, the entire battlefield transformed significantly.
Chu Xisheng’s own status greatly improved, though the Wooden Hand before him was still overwhelming like a tide, it was now reduced in scale by two-thirds.
Additionally, the Primordial Magnetic Power and Taiyi Divine Thunder of the Southern Pole Star Lord were weakened to varying degrees.
The Southern Pole Star Lord lost the Life Skill, unable to further stimulate the Life Essence, thus unable to further amplify his power.
Conversely, with the assistance of the Life Heavenly Rule, Chu Xisheng’s Blood of Ten Thousand Ages reached an extremely terrifying level of recovery ability.
Correspondingly, there was also Si Huangquan.
The Southern Pole Star Lord was already powerless to interfere with her transformation and fusion, her speed of refining the power of Yin Hou Tian Nai Luo not only increased significantly but also instantaneously covered the battlefield with her Life Origin Power, providing continuous Primordial Power to Chu Xisheng, Green Bird Jingwei, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and Lawless.
Shen Tu and Yu Lei, along with Lawless, originally struggling against Shen Buxun, found themselves reinvigorated as Si Huangquan’s Life Origin Technique was once again applied within them, restoring some balance to the battle.
Chu Xisheng also allocated some energy to help suppress their opponents.
Growth, reproduction, abnormal proliferation—
How the Southern Pole Star Lord dealt with them, Chu Xisheng could simply replicate it according to the method.
His understanding of the Power of Life was ultimately not as profound as the Southern Pole Star Lord’s.
This was clearly a Life Heavenly Rule as high as the Fifty-Eight Layers, yet Chu Xisheng could only operate it like a fool, unable to exert even one-tenth of its power.
And just three breaths later, Chu Xisheng’s body ’bang’ exploded into a sky full of blood powder.
This Life Skill improved his situation, but still couldn’t contend with the Southern Pole Star Lord.
Chu Xisheng only managed to endure for one more breath before being blown apart again by the Southern Pole Star Lord’s magnificent Divine Power.
The terrible fact was that the opponent wasn’t one particularly skilled in combat among the Eternal Gods, and had already been stripped of his most powerful foundational strength.
Even so, the Southern Pole Star Lord’s Divine Power remained so grand and domineering, leaving Chu Xisheng utterly powerless to resist, crushed within three breaths, having no choice but to use the Power of Eternal to restore his flesh and Divine Soul to their peak state once again.
Yet this time was sufficient—
After recovering, Chu Xisheng’s lips instead slightly curved upward.
"This is already the third sword, isn’t it? Four more swords—"
Chu Xisheng spoke languidly, with a faint sneer: "Four more swords, and the Wood Sword Immortal can shatter your Southern Pole Star."
At this time, the bark of the Stone Locust Tree further cracked, not only spilling more blood-red sap but also revealing dozens of deep fractures on the trunk.
Those were not external injuries, but cracks from inside out.
The Southern Pole Star Lord remained silent, his Wooden Hand still surging like a tide, continuing to bombard toward the palace gate.
He was disinclined to engage in pointless talk with Chu Xisheng, unwilling to waste even a blink, a moment.
He still sought to kill Chu Xisheng with the fastest speed.
However, in the Southern Pole Star Lord’s heart, a trace of anxiety involuntarily emerged.
Chu Xisheng could still activate the Power of Eternal at least twenty times.
The possibility of killing Chu Xisheng before the Southern Pole Star shattering was minimal.
Yet, he firmly believed that the Ancestor God Emperors wouldn’t stand idle.
After Chu Xisheng used the Divine Contract Stele, the All Gods led by the Wood God wouldn’t allow this boy to live, nor would they allow these people to succeed.
"Shen Tianhuai, haven’t you noticed anything amiss?"
In the fire clouds and thunder spreading above the palace platform, Chu Xisheng’s light laughter continued: "Do you feel that the sword power of the Wood Sword Immortal is somewhat abnormal now? Just seven swords, seven swords."
The Southern Pole Star Lord originally intended to ignore it.
However, at this moment, his heart trembled.
He had actually felt something amiss for a long time, and Chu Xisheng’s prompt only escalated his internal alarm.
The sword power of the Wood Sword Immortal hadn’t diminished from the first sword until now; its initial Divine Might remained unchanged.
Crucially, the energy accumulation time hadn’t changed at all. Five breaths for a sword, unchanging!
The strangeness lay here.
How could a sword move with such vast Divine Might not deplete energy?
This Swordsmanship, with power so grand as to cleave stars, even a genuine Upper Eternal couldn’t withstand it several times.
Yet, the Wood Sword Immortal had only ascended not long ago, and his true form was at most a Middle Eternal.
Especially since he had already pulled out his roots, currently in a rootless and unsupported status.
Theoretically, such a sword would be enough to drain the Wood Sword Immortal’s Divine Power.
Even if the Wood Sword Immortal could continue wielding, the power should gradually decline, markedly less than before.
Yet, the Wood Sword Immortal not only managed to unleash a sword every five breaths, each sword’s Divine Might hadn’t diminished by a fraction, seemingly even stronger than before.
The Southern Pole Star Lord instinctively felt something was wrong, this was indeed odd.
Could it be that the Wood Sword Immortal’s Primordial Power was truly inexhaustible?
"Boom!"
Chu Xisheng’s body once again burst into blood powder.
The temporal power of the Blood of Ten Thousand Ages allowed him to recover once more.
"Shen Tianhuai, you rely boldly on those few Ancestor Gods and Emperors, right? As long as you exert yourself for their cause, they certainly won’t let you suffer. But ask yourself, did they truly exert themselves today? Would they really want to increase the Wood God lineage with another Emperor?"
The Southern Pole Star Lord’s face was dark and unmoved.
