Chapter 272: The Three Great Stellar Bodies

Boom!

The earth trembled, and countless rays of starlight soared into the sky.

Thousands of Star Arrays converged, forming a barrier that trapped them inside.

The terrifying gravity was unbearable even for the two Star Embryo Martial Artists. An Shanhe, who was only at the initial stage of the Stellar Body, also felt immense pressure.

A blazing sun rose, its sunlight shining down, suppressing Jiang Changkong’s Holy Sun.

Then, countless surges of blood energy shot into the sky, outlining numerous Star Arrays. Waves of terrifying blood energy spread across the heavens, standing side by side with the blazing sun.

The blood energy formed into arrays—these were Force Pattern Star Arrays!

Swoosh…

Waves surged, seawater churned, and azure starlight spread across the sky like a chessboard, forming a bizarre Star Array.

“What a clever move. They’ve investigated us thoroughly, suppressing us completely,” Hai Mingsha said with a grim expression.

“Multiple Star Arrays combined—truly worthy of a high-level Star Demon,” An Shanhe said solemnly, a long sword appearing in his hand.

The Holy Sun trembled as Jiang Changkong said calmly, “It’s not over yet, is it? How do you plan to counter my White Cloud Nine Layers?”

Hum…

As soon as he finished speaking, Azure Light scattered, starlight filled the sky, and fierce winds howled.

A tornado rose from the earth, and the Azure Light transformed into wind blades—another Star Array!

“Indeed, they’re targeting me. What about the Divine Control Art? Show me all your tricks.”

The Holy Sun dissipated as Jiang Changkong stood in the Void, starlight erupting around him, shattering the incoming Star Arrays.

Waaah…

A strange, piercing cry ignored the physical body and struck directly at the soul.

The sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves sent chills down the spine. Illusory figures appeared, twisted and terrifying.

Pale faces, bleeding from all seven orifices—Malevolent Ghosts roamed freely, unafraid of the blazing sun in the sky.

The Star Arrays intertwined, several overlapping like a mountain weighing down on them.

The blazing sun countered Taiyang, the fierce winds scattered the white clouds, the blood energy suppressed the Power Runes, and the Malevolent Ghosts countered the Divine Control Art.

As for the gravity and the azure Star Arrays, they were prepared for the others.

“They really did investigate me thoroughly. It seems the Star Demons of the Void Realm have many connections with humans.”

Jiang Changkong’s eyes flickered, divine light bursting forth as a resounding roar erupted around him, and the Holy Sun surged behind him.

His Power Runes cultivation, the Sin Domain—all those prodigies had witnessed it.

The Divine Control Art, the White Cloud Nine Layers Scripture—he had used them all in the Sin Domain.

It was no surprise that this information had spread. What was surprising was that the ones ambushing them were a group of Star Demons.

Among human Martial Artists, there were definitely those colluding with Star Demons.

Otherwise, they couldn’t have prepared so thoroughly, setting up so many Star Arrays.

“Brother Changkong, it’s not just you. These guys know us well too,” Hai Mingsha and the other two appeared, their expressions grave.

Hum…

The Void rippled, countless rays of starlight bloomed, and five figures stepped into the area enveloped by the Star Arrays, treading upon endless starlight.

Jiang Changkong looked at the newcomers—all of them were Star Demons.

A group of ugly creatures, humanoid in shape but covered in scales and coarse hair.

“Jiang Changkong, first time meeting. Are you satisfied with this greeting gift?”

The power of the blazing sun shone brightly as a Star Demon stepped directly onto the sun in the sky.

Waves surged to the heavens, blue scales gleaming with a luster. A hoarse female voice said, “In all these years, I’ve never seen such a prodigy.”

“To cultivate multiple martial arts simultaneously and condense a special Stellar Body—you truly are remarkable.”

Pale pupils emitted waves of chilling energy, surrounded by illusory Malevolent Ghosts.

“Even among our high-ranking Star Clan, your talent would rank within the top hundred.”

Thick starlight bloomed with dazzling brilliance, its body covered in coarse hair, limbs thick and muscular.

Taiyang, water attribute, soul, earth attribute, and the final one remaining—azure light fills the sky.

Jiang Changkong’s gaze sharpened. Both the Azure Light and Taiyang were at the Star Body Peak.

The Azure Light Star Demon strode upon the storm, its nails sharp and gleaming with a cold light. “If you join the Star Clan, I can grant you an opportunity to become a vanguard of the Star Clan, expanding our territory.”

“Changkong.” An Shanhe and the others quickly gathered around Jiang Changkong, their expressions grave.

Hai Mingsha’s expression darkened. “This time, I overestimated myself. I can hold off one Star Body Peak.”

“Who informed you of our arrival?” Jiang Changkong’s expression returned to indifference. “Which human have you colluded with?”

The Azure Light Star Demon said coldly, “Borrowing your words, we do not listen to idle talk. Submit or die!”

“Then, I’ll send you to your deaths.”

Jiang Changkong’s gaze turned icy as he activated the Holy Sun Technique. A surge of immense power erupted, spreading across a hundred miles and filling the entire Star Array.

“Kill!” The Azure Light Star Demon let out a cold shout. Five figures, accompanied by the boundless Star Array, closed in for the kill.

“Kill!”

Hai Mingsha shouted coldly, his sword aura shaking the Void as starlight bloomed. His target, however, was Jiang Changkong!

“Hai Mingsha, what are you doing?” An Shanhe and the others were shocked, while the other two Late Star Body Stage cultivators, Hai Tianhe and Feng Tingyu, were equally furious.

Caught off guard, Hai Mingsha, a Star Body Peak cultivator, had not attacked the Star Demons but instead targeted Jiang Changkong.

Boom!

Roar!

Starlight bloomed across the sky as a strange roar echoed. A golden-red glow shimmered across Jiang Changkong’s body.

Overwhelming blood energy and terrifying power converged on the longsword at the same time.

With a resounding crash, Hai Mingsha was sent flying backward, while Jiang Changkong instantly retracted his seven Power Runes.

The killing intent of the five Star Demons had already arrived. Jiang Changkong wielded his top-tier eighth-grade Blazing Sun Blade, and the evening glow spread across the sky, enveloping the five Star Demons.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed as heaven and earth trembled. Starlight erupted across the sky, sweeping across a hundred miles. The Star Array glowed brightly, devouring all this power.

Overwhelming starlight surged as the five Star Demons frantically retreated. Jiang Changkong’s body shone with crimson and brilliant golden light.

At the edges of these two lights, black and white energies flowed—the Taiji Star Body!

His body shimmered with four-colored light, countless Power Runes crisscrossing and covering his entire form.

Boundless Star Power descended, seventy percent of it dissipated, while sixty percent of the Star Power rebounded. Facing their attacks, Jiang Changkong stood unshaken.

Just like when he faced Yun Bugui before, relying on the Gold-Silver Taiji Diagram, he could dissipate eighty percent of the power from an opponent one minor realm higher.

Now, with the Taiji War Body, though not as powerful as the Union of Lunar and Solar, it still possessed considerable might.

However, without activating the Divine Control Art Star Body, even if he could dissipate seventy percent of the force, he could only redirect sixty percent.

“You knew I was suspicious all along and have been guarding against me?”

Hai Mingsha stood in the distance, his expression one of shock.

Under the overwhelming Star Power, the five Star Demons were simultaneously injured. Fortunately, their strength was formidable, and they recovered in an instant.

“Hmm? You’ve truly refined several Star Bodies and can wield three at once?” The Azure Light Star Demon exclaimed in astonishment.

Its earlier words were merely a test, but now it had witnessed it firsthand.

He could simultaneously wield the Three Great Star Bodies!

Jiang Changkong stood with his hands behind his back. Though he had not reached the Near-Deity stage and could not merge the Three Great Star Bodies, he possessed the Taiji Yin-Yang Art, which achieved the same effect!

“Shouldn’t high-level Star Demons be referred to as War Bodies?” Jiang Changkong said indifferently. “As for guarding against you? You overestimate yourself. You’re not worth my vigilance!”

The Power Pattern War Body was condensed, with Power Runes covering his form. Trying to ambush him? Impossible!

As long as there is danger, even from behind, the Power Runes can erupt in an instant—every part of the body is a weapon!

This is the terrifying aspect of a body-refining Martial Artist, the Power Pattern War Body.

“Kill him! Activate the Star Array, suppress him, attack together!”

The Azure Light Star Demon roared angrily. The Star Array released boundless starlight, and the pressure intensified once more.

“Changkong.” The expressions of An Shanhe and the other four darkened simultaneously. Starlight intertwined as they prepared to act. “Let’s join forces to delay Haimingsha.”

“No need. Let’s just play with them. I’ll use a more interesting method instead.”

Jiang Changkong slightly raised his palm. The golden-red radiance and the power of Taiji simultaneously faded, while the Holy Sunlight rose once more, illuminating a hundred miles in all directions!
