Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 815: Chapter 629: Pure White

To the north, Ashley rushed forward without stopping.

”It’s almost time...” In Ashley’s eyes, the Destiny Star Track slowly turned, as if waiting for something.

Just at that moment, a beam of pure white light suddenly shot from the side.

Ashley’s eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her hand as if prepared in advance, several layers of Holy Light Defense shielding her side.

”Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”

Three consecutive sounds rang out, and Ashley barely managed to block the attack with quadruple-cast defense.

Then, in a blink, a tall and handsome blonde man appeared before her. With the Light Holy Spear in his hand shattering the last layer of Holy Light Defense, it was almost at Ashley’s chest when it suddenly stopped.

”Oh? Ashley, is it really you?”

The blond man looked at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

And Ashley looked at the man expressionlessly, ”Helbas.”

In the blonde man’s white uniform, there was an even purer white moon on the back.

He was the Extreme White Moon of the Holy Temple’s Seven Moon Knights—Helbas!

Helbas looked at Ashley, and after a moment of surprise, a faint smile appeared on his face.

”You’re not dead? I thought you had died in the New Dust Realm. Back then, I even spent a night in repentance at your sister’s monument.

Now it seems, not only did you survive, but you also broke through the flaws of the Holy Blessing to reach the Radiant Moon level?”

Upon hearing him mention ”sister,” a cold glint flashed briefly in Ashley’s eyes.

Since childhood, orphaned Ashley lived dependent on her sister, Alice.

Later, the resilient, excellent, and beautiful Alice caught the eye of the rising Helbas, married into his family, and brought Ashley along.

However, within a few years, Alice unexpectedly and mysteriously died of illness.

And Ashley, who had just shown immense talent, was sent by Helbas to the Holy Blessing program under the guise of training.

At this moment, Helbas said with a smile, ”It seems you’ve had quite some encounters during your disappearance... So, have you found me now to return home?

No matter what you’ve done out there, in honor of Alice, I can let bygones be bygones and take you back under my protection, as long as you’re willing to return.”

A flicker of disgust and coldness flashed in Ashley’s eyes, but she nodded without revealing her emotions, ”I came to help you find treasures.”

”Very good,” Helbas said, looking at Ashley with a smile, ”Then tell me, where can I find what I desire?”

Ashley spread her arms, her figure becoming more slender as her Star Power surged; her white hair lengthened and fell to the ground, even her ears grew pointed... she transformed into an elf.

Ashley closed her eyes and placed her palms together on her chest as if in prayer.

Soon, a large amount of shining motes with strange waves emerged around Ashley, gently rising and disappearing high into the sky.

”A new embedded skill?” Helbas squinted slightly at the praying Ashley.

After a while, Ashley opened her eyes, the Destiny Star Track in her eyes still spinning rapidly.

”It’s very close now, follow me.” Ashley called out and then soared forward.

Helbas watched Ashley’s back and sneered secretly.

”Let’s see if you really intend to return or if you have other plans.”

Although Ashley’s sudden appearance was surprising, Helbas didn’t care much.

If she obediently helps find the treasure, so be it, and after it’s over, they could return to Qiguang.

If not... he could crush her with ease!

As for whether she might bring danger...

In this Ancient Fragment, unreachable by the Burning Sun, what danger could there be? He was Helbas, the second seat of the Seven Moon Knights’ Extreme White Moon!

Watching Ashley leading the way ahead, Helbas stepped forward to follow.

They proceeded, entering an endless range of wild ridges when Helbas suddenly sensed something.

”Such a strong fluctuation of the Light Element!” Helbas’s eyes fixed as he turned to Ashley, ”Ashley, what is that?”

Ashley shook her head, ”I can only predict that there’s something good in this direction, but I don’t know precisely what it is.”

A look of excitement appeared on Helbas’s face, ”No problem, I can sense... that thing is not far ahead. Let’s hurry!”

Helbas raised his hand, and a sheet of white light enveloped both him and Ashley; the light grew slightly and then shot forward like an aurora!

After half a day, the aurora suddenly stopped, and the white light dissipated, revealing Ashley and Helbas.

They looked ahead and saw a towering tree full of lush branches and leaves, adorned with golden leaves!

”A Holy Ancient Tree, so it’s this thing!”

Helbas immediately recognized it, with a strong expression of joy in his eyes.

Even Ashley showed some surprise, although she predicted a Fifth Level Spiritual Plant here, she didn’t expect it to be a Holy Ancient Tree.

A Holy Ancient Tree, a Fifth Level Spiritual Plant with Light Attribute, a treasure all over its body!

”Ashley, you haven’t disappointed me... My family still welcomes you.”

Helbas looked at the Holy Ancient Tree, eyes sparkling with brilliance, then withdrew his gaze, settling it on Ashley’s exquisite face and graceful figure, with a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

”You could even take your sister’s place and become my...”

”No need!” Ashley felt a surge of disgust in her heart, directly interrupting him, speaking coldly, ”Let’s see how to solve the situation ahead instead.”

At this moment, there was nothing tranquil in front of the Holy Ancient Tree, where an intense battle was unfolding.

On one side, there were humans in simple robes, transforming with beastly transformations, precisely Zang Yuan, Huang Xiang, and the young Thunder Wings, people from the North Continent.

The other side, led by the rare Holy Radiant Battle Lion and Golden God Pattern Tiger, consisted of a massive number of star beasts, with over a dozen at Radiant Moon Level alone!

Earlier, Zang Yuan, Huang Xiang, and others detected the sound of a legendary holy beast’s roar in this mountain range, leading them here.

However, they didn’t encounter the legendary holy beast but instead stumbled upon this Holy Ancient Tree!

The star core of a legendary holy beast could significantly enhance an individual’s strength.

But for a tribe, the value of a Fifth Level Spiritual Plant far exceeds that of a legendary holy beast’s star core!

As a result, everyone decided to abandon the search for the legendary holy beast and, with their tribal companions who arrived one after another, planned to seize this Holy Ancient Tree first!

”Thunder Wing Strike!”

”Gray Wind Thousand Feathers!”

”Thorny Chaotic Dance!”

”...”

Countless powerful skills bombarded the groups of star beasts, exploding into large areas of spirit flames.

And Huang Xiang leaped into the star beast group; although he was scarred by various attacks, a mist of blood roiled and boiled around him, fighting more and more valiantly like an undying cockroach, fiercer than the male who transformed into a dragon-people!

Despite their smaller numbers, with excellent coordination and high personal strength, the people from the North Continent were slightly gaining an upper hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, this deadlock might continue for a while longer.

Ashley said, ”These people from the North Continent have some skills. Now, just wait until both sides are exhausted, and we can easily take it...”

”Waste of time.” Helbas stepped forward lightly, chuckling, ”Do you think I need to wait until they’re both exhausted?”

Helbas chuckled softly, and with a flash of white light, suddenly disappeared from where he stood, appearing in the high sky above the battlefield.

It wasn’t Instant Movement; it was speed to the extreme!

Ashley calmly watched Helbas rise into the sky, murmuring to herself, ”I know, you wouldn’t wait.”

In the sky, Helbas raised his right hand, and from all directions, endless light gradually gathered.

As the light converged, the energy fluctuation became more pronounced, causing even the sky to dim slightly.

The Holy Radiant Battle Lion, with extremely high Star Power Talent, was the first to sense the anomaly, releasing a burst of Holy Light that blasted a young man with ape-like arms approaching him, then raised his head and roared angrily at the sky.

Upon seeing the Holy Radiant Battle Lion’s reaction, the people of the North Continent realized something was amiss, looked up, and saw in the sky a shadow.

”What is that?”

”What terrifying energy!”

”It looks like a person!”

”...”

The young man with Thunder Wings, with sharp vision, suddenly focused his eyes, exclaiming, ”It’s that group from before, their clothes are basically the same!”

The others gradually made out Helbas in the sky, wearing a white uniform.

Sensing the extremely terrifying energy gathering above his head, Zang Yuan furrowed his brows and instructed, ”Fall back and spread out, create some distance!”

The Holy Radiant Battle Lion and other star beasts, with sharper instincts for danger, also retreated, allowing Huang Xiang, the young man with dragon horns, and others to withdraw easily.

Both the people from the North Continent and the star beasts of Holy Radiant Battle Lion, all looked at Helbas in the sky with confusion.

The dark-skinned woman using Blackthorn frowned and said, ”What’s he doing, could it be some world-altering Tian Xiang technique?”

”I don’t know.” The young man with ape-like arms shook his head.

Zang Yuan frowned tightly, staring at the sky, watching the continuously gathering light, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart even though he didn’t know what the opponent was up to.

”Spread out more!” Zang Yuan shouted.

More light gathered in the sky, faster and more incredible.

Suddenly, the entire sky dimmed, leaving only a dazzling point of white light at Helbas’ fingertip.

Instantly, an extremely terrifying wave of energy came forth, causing everyone to suddenly feel an impending disaster that made their scalps tingle!

”Not good, defense!”

Zang Yuan shouted furiously, as four tails of the Wind God Weasel behind him glowed brilliantly, raising his hands, summoning a roaring wind wall to cover everyone, as if to block something.

In the sky, the corner of Helbas’ mouth rose, and he snapped his fingers:

”Holy Light Illumination!”
