Chapter 37 The Naturally Skilled Star-Picking Hand
"Xiao Yizi, there is someone in the late stage of the Void Dao Realm secretly following them; they should be the protectors of these two."
The old man with the ring scanned the area with his divine sense and secretly transmitted his voice.
"Damn it, how come these second-generation immortals always have powerful protectors wherever they go?"
Xiao Yi looked displeased, but inwardly he was filled with envy.
Being born into a powerful family means you don't have to do anything to have countless resources and powerful protectors when you travel.
As for him, he had to rely on himself for everything.
That God is so unfair!
"Teacher, if I win later, do you think he'll cheat?" Xiao Yi walked out of the city, a sense of unease suddenly rising in his heart.
His intuition has always been accurate.
In other words, his life may be in danger next.
"No, Tianjiao values his reputation above all else and would not do anything against his principles."
"However, if you get the Soul Infant Fruit, he definitely won't let you go."
The old man with the ring transmitted his voice.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I get the Soul Infant Fruit."
"After we finish this job, we'll leave Qingzhou. The world is vast, and I don't believe he can chase me to the ends of the earth."
Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently, feeling much more at ease.
After all, there's the old man with the ring.
Once the Soul Infant Fruit is consumed, one can recover to the strength of the Void Dao Realm.
Under such circumstances, I can't say I can kill someone at the Void Dao Realm, but taking him away is definitely not a problem.
The four of them arrived at a desolate mountain a hundred miles outside the city. Xiao Yi's eyes darted around, and he suddenly spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, to be fair, why don't you give the Soul Infant Fruit to Fairy Chu Yao first?"
Hearing this, Chu Yao was so angry at Xiao Yi's shameless attitude that she laughed.
They weren't even fighting yet, and they were already thinking about how to get the Soul Infant Fruit.
"What you say makes sense, but since Young Master Gu made a bet with you using the Soul Infant Fruit, what treasure will you offer in return?"
"this…"
Xiao Yi felt a surge of resentment. He hadn't even settled accounts with Chu Yao yet, but she was already going against him at every turn.
If he hadn't known he couldn't beat Chu Yao, he definitely would have challenged her.
Teach this little vixen how to behave.
"This was requested by Young Master Gu. I just wanted to make the duel a little fairer," Xiao Yi said with a gloomy face.
"Heh, keep your little schemes to yourself."
"Do you really think you can get the Soul Infant Fruit alive?"
Although Chu Yao didn't know how strong the two were, Gu Qing was such a cunning person, how could she possibly be outsmarted by Xiao Yi?
Regardless of winning or losing, Xiao Yi is doomed.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yi's eyelids twitched wildly, and he felt extremely uneasy.
"Idiot, literally."
Chu Yao sneered, ignoring Xiao Yi, and retreated with Su Qingyue.
"Young Master Gu, do you intend to break the rules?"
Xiao Yi looked at Gu Qing and said in a deep voice.
"I will naturally abide by the rules. Wait until you withstand three of my moves before you think about the Soul Infant Fruit."
Gu Qing admired the protagonist who sought fortune amidst danger.
He slapped the villain in the face, then escaped from the clutches of the protectors, and then encountered an opportunity that not only healed his injuries but also greatly increased his cultivation.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the villain; he was the man of the chosen one, the light of righteousness.
Thinking it over, Gu Qing didn't wait for Xiao Yi to continue arguing and directly reached out to grab Xiao Yi.
"Star-picking hand..."
Boom~!
With a deafening roar, the world changed color.
The clear blue sky was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling array of stars.
Countless stars surrounded Gu Qing, bathing him in the sacred radiance of the stars, making him appear like a god who controlled all the stars in the heavens.
When one is in harmony with nature and blessed by the myriad laws of heaven and earth, the power of supernatural abilities increases dozens of times.
A star-shaped handprint, surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars, covering the sky and the earth.
"This is... the Star-Picking Hand?!"
"Oh no, quickly hand over control of your body to me."
The old man with the ring was horrified.
Even without the old man with the ring saying it, Xiao Yi was already terrified.
The Star-Picking Hand is truly terrifying.
Before the divine hand seals were even in place, an immense and boundless power had already descended, pressing down on him until he could hardly breathe.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was a divine power that someone at the Profound Core Realm could unleash.
Boom~!
The old man with the ring took control of Xiao Yi's body, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted, resisting the terrifying aura of the Star-Picking Hand.
His cultivation level instantly rose to the third level of the Refining Spirit Realm.
The moment he clenched his fist, an extreme blend of ice and fire surged around him.
He threw a punch, simultaneously summoning a damaged bell for protection.
Boom~!
The mountain beneath Xiao Yi's feet was blasted into a thousand-foot-deep crater by the Star-Picking Hand.
"Cough cough~"
Xiao Yi coughed up fragments of his internal organs, his bones shattered by the power of the Star-Picking Hand, and lay dying in the deep pit.
"The Star-Picking Hand, a skill that comes naturally, is your awakened innate divine power. You have awakened a supreme divine body of the stars."
He looked at Gu Qing, his eyes filled with despair.
This time, Xiao Yi has really bitten off more than he can chew; he's probably going to lose his life here today.
Because he was well aware of the power of the Star Temple.
This is an immortal tradition passed down from ancient times, even to the distant past, floating in the cosmos, transcending the world.
Every true disciple of the Star God Temple who goes out for training is protected by a powerful figure at the King Realm or above.
If he and Xiao Yi could defeat Gu Qing, they might have a sliver of hope; if they couldn't, they would have no chance of escape.
[Detected that Xiao Yi is possessed by the old man in the ring, his combat power has soared to the third level of the Refining God Realm, triggering the Super Anti-Armor. The host's combat power has been super-doubled, super-doubled in progress... Super-doubled complete, the host has obtained the sixth level of the Refining God Realm.]
Boom~!
A tremendous force descended upon him, and Gu Qing's cultivation level instantly soared to the sixth level of the Refining God Realm.
He glanced at Xiao Yi, who looked like a dead dog, and frowned slightly.
Is that all the Ring Grandpa is capable of?
That's so weak.
[Detected that Xiao Yi is extremely afraid of the host and is plundering the host's luck. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, plundering 1,000 units of Xiao Yi's luck in return.]
[Detected that Xiao Yi harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host's luck. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, plundering 1,000 units of Xiao Yi's luck in return.]
Gu Qing stomped on Xiao Yi's chest, his true energy wantonly destroying the meridians in his body.
"stop."
"I surrender."
Xiao Yi took control of the body and said with a look of terror in his eyes.
"Do you still want the Soul Infant Fruit?" Gu Qing looked at him with a playful expression.
"Fellow Daoist is joking. The Soul Infant Fruit originally belonged to you."
Xiao Yi forced a smile, which looked worse than crying.
Before fighting Gu Qing, he was full of confidence, thinking that Gu Qing was just arrogant and ignorant, like a frog in a well, unaware that there are always people more capable than him.
But at this moment, he felt as if he were dreaming.
You should know that he is a prodigy who can kill enemies of a higher level, and killing enemies of the same level is as easy as eating and drinking.
The old man with the ring often used it to kill the older generation.
However, now, even the two of them combined are no match for Gu Qing.
What else could this be but a dream?
"Sister Su, what kind of supreme divine body has Young Master Gu awakened?"
Chu Yao stared intently at Gu Qing with her alluring fox-like eyes, while her slender fingers nudged Su Qingyue beside her.
She appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside she was experiencing a turbulent storm.
Gu Qing's Star-Picking Hand technique was perfectly natural and flawless, blending seamlessly with the heavens and earth, as if it were an unparalleled divine power that had existed here since time immemorial.
There was no trace of any acquired training.
It goes without saying that this is an awakened innate supernatural power.
The power of the Star-Picking Hand is even stronger than recorded.
The unparalleled, vast power covered the sky and the earth. Even though it wasn't attacking her, it made this sixth-level Refinement God Realm cultivator feel a fatal crisis.
Thinking of this, Chu Yao's lofty ambition, born from the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers she had acquired, was instantly dampened as if doused with a bucket of cold water.
The Supreme Divine Power is known as the ultimate divine body, the supreme being of all bodies, and is terrifying beyond compare.
If they awaken their innate divine power, their combat strength will be ridiculously powerful.
Even if she cultivated the same ancient divine power, how could she compete with someone else's innate divine power?
"Hmph, I advise you to stop asking questions; this is not something you should be asking."
Su Qingyue distanced herself from her, feeling extremely annoyed.
You're the devil, your Su sister.
Shameless vixen.
On the other side, Xu Tiefu was shocked the moment he saw the Star-Picking Hand.
He suddenly remembered an ancient book in the library.
It records a transcendent power, namely the Star Temple.
The Star Temple has countless powerful beings at the King Realm.
There are also legendary supreme beings among mortals, saints who survey heaven and earth, and even the immortal and indestructible Divine Fire Realm.
According to records, the Star Temple has a history so long that it is difficult to trace back, and it is a truly immortal lineage that has endured countless eons.
It is the strongest sect in this universe.
Upon realizing this, Xu Tiefu was terrified, and only one thought occupied his mind: to escape.
The more arrogant they were when they came, the more pathetic their escape will be now.
No matter how important the Soul Infant Fruit is, it's not as important as his life.
If Gu Qing were a holy son of a holy land, he would dare to kill him, but facing the people of the Star God Palace, he wouldn't dare even if he had ten thousand lives.
"Trying to escape? Do you think you can...?"
Ji Ning opened her eyes, unleashing a divine light that instantly blasted Xu Tiefu into dust.
A powerful figure who once dominated a region has fallen.
"It seems the two of them won't be able to spark a romance on this trip. These people really deserve to die," she murmured, then stopped paying attention.
