Supreme Star Card Master

(PS: In the last chapter, there were two directions: one was that Su Yuan did not discover Duo’e Sect Master, and first engaged Zhou Yun, leading to a time and space sword battle; the other was Su Yuan being aware, naturally leading to a different outcome...

After considering, the latter seemed slightly better, so I made some corresponding revisions to the previous chapter.)

Just as Zhou Yun was preparing to close his eyes and meditate, a Buddha chant suddenly resounded from the field, seemingly far and yet close.

”Amitabha Buddha…”

Su Yuan and Zhou Yun both reacted, turning their eyes toward the Sky Edge.

With the golden Buddha Light emerging in the Void, a benevolent-looking, white-bearded figure stepped out of the Buddha Light...

It was none other than the ”Duo’e Sect Master,” who had fallen at Zhou Yun’s hands!

In Zhou Yun’s indifferent eyes appeared a moment of astonishment, but soon, his expression turned icy as he said, ”You’re not dead?”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed little surprise, merely narrowing slightly as he said, ”Duo’e Sect Master has revealed himself, hmm…”

Previously, after Su Yuan had slain Fu Ming, he noted a detail while reviewing the battle.

If following his speculation, Dream Divine Descent cannot call forth beings still alive in the world.

Among the eight Star Lords who entered the Primordial Realm, apart from the Extreme Demon Lord, Blood River Ancestor, and Qingping Sect Master that were summoned, and the four others who were engaged in combat, there was still another...

Precisely the Bodhi Sect True Sect Master, Duo’e!

At that time, Fu Ming was almost at the end of his rope. If he could call forth anyone, there was no reason not to summon Duo’e as well to join in killing him.

It might not have been unwillingness but rather inability to summon.

This suggested that Duo’e Sect Master might not be dead and was somewhere within the Primordial Realm.

Of course, this was merely Su Yuan’s speculative thought based on Fu Ming’s demonstrated methods, not to be taken as truth.

Thus, Su Yuan used the Eye of the Celestial God to investigate the surroundings. The tenfold amplification of Xuantian Third Rank, coupled with the enhanced Cosmic Will, had truly allowed Su Yuan to faintly capture elusive Buddha Power fluctuations in the Void.

This increased Su Yuan’s confidence that Duo’e was unlikely dead.

So Su Yuan decided to recover with Zhou Yun first, then together root out and resolve Duo’e.

Duo’e had hidden himself, undoubtedly waiting for a better moment to strike.

The best moment was naturally after Su Yuan and Zhou Yun’s battle, when only one remained.

In a duel of two strong contenders, the victor would likely be in poor condition, even if merging Cosmic Will led to an elevation in Realm, it would take time to stabilize completely.

The next best moment was now!

With both parties having just gone through a big battle, with varying degrees of exhaustion, it was already a relatively controllable good opportunity.

Duo’e brought his hands together and said, ”Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk greets the two masters.”

Zhou Yun looked at Duo’e, coldly saying, ”Duo’e Sect Master feigned death to severely injure me as bait, pulling Fu Ming, Fang Yang, and even Friend Su together, causing chaos.

If not for Friend Su decisively taking action to change the situation, I would have likely perished under the combined assault of those two, leading to a further chaos of three-way combat.

And after you stirred the waters, you hid yourself waiting for the right moment… what a calculation.”

Upon seeing Duo’e’s ”resurrection,” Zhou Yun merely pondered briefly before understanding.

According to Duo’e’s expectations, normally, when Fu Ming and the others arrived, they would surely consume Zhou Yun, the powerful enemy controlling the Time Skill together.

After that, with Fang and Fu’s mindset, the remaining three’s chaotic battle would likely be full of intrigue, scheming, and mutual consumption.

When the three were all exhausted, the feigned dead and hidden Duo’e would seize the moment, effortlessly ending this Primordial Realm showdown.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuan defied expectations, saving Zhou Yun to counter the sinister motives of Fang and Fu, directly stepping out of this trajectory.

Su Yuan, hands clasped behind him, also stared at Duo’e and said, ”Duo’e Sect Master, you hid very deeply.”

”No depth escapes Su Star Lord’s eyes.” Duo’e Sect Master looked at Su Yuan, smiling slightly and said, ”Su Star Lord is indeed astute, detecting this humble monk’s presence even under such circumstances—a truly peerless figure destined to replace Jade Emperor as the Southern Star Lord.”

Duo’e Sect Master’s avatar had lingered in the Southern Star Sky for countless years, almost asserting that the Southern Star Lord was the Jade Emperor wielding the Heavenly Dao Power.

Unexpectedly, within a mere hundred years, someone rose against the tide, leading a new world to launch a counterattack against the Silver Heaven Court and defeat it.

Now, if it weren’t for his presence, this person had a high chance of defeating Zhou Yun, who was in less than full condition, achieving ultimate victory in this cosmic age—the one most likely to reach the Emperor Realm!

It can be said that this person is extraordinary in both Strength and intellect.

It’s just a pity, having met this humble monk…

Su Yuan said, ”Then Sect Master has revealed himself now because you think you can handle the two of us together?”

Duo’e Sect Master shook his head lightly and said, ”Since Master Su has detected me, continuing to wait would only allow both masters to recover, thus this humble monk is reluctantly compelled to act prematurely…”

Though Duo’e claimed as such, Su Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.

This Duo’e has such keen senses; merely my brief probe with the Eye of the Celestial God was counter-detected.

Besides, Su Yuan naturally didn’t believe the other was forced.

For Duo’e to dare reveal himself now, he surely had considerable confidence in dealing with the two of them.
