Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 927: Chapter 371: Battle Between the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm and the State Preceptor (Part 3)

After a breath, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suddenly smiled, ”This one comes really fast.”

In the next moment, within the National Taoist Institute of Dachen, Elder Peng, whose cultivation level is second only to the State Preceptor, suddenly changed his expression, ”Eighth tier, there’s an eighth-tier aura, and it’s at the peak of the eighth tier!”

Simultaneously, Great Governor Pei Ze transformed into starlight and descended, ”State Preceptor, a peak eighth-tier expert has arrived, you and I together...”

Cheng Yuxiao waved his hand to stop him, looking at the increasingly close peak eighth-tier aura in the distant sky, ”The Sumeru Palace Master Luo has arrived! Elder Peng, sit firm at the Star-picking Tower, lest anyone try to exploit the situation.”

”Great Governor Pei, I will meet Palace Master Luo, you assist me with the formation, without my order, do not take action!”

”Yes!”

In the next instant, the Nine Bright Chime emerged, and Grandmaster Cheng Yuxiao suddenly stepped on stars, instantaneously transforming into a stream of light rushing towards the boundless aura on the horizon, at the same time, the sound echoed like rolling thunder.

”Palace Master Luo, traveling from afar, I welcome you!”

”Hahaha, Grandmaster Cheng, I have been presumptuous!”

In just a moment, the two have already surged above the Nine Heavens Cloud Layer. Just as they faced each other, the space before State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suddenly cracked like a web!

Earth-yellow starlight fell like a mountain, and the space star power that split space was directly shattered!

”Good move, State Preceptor, try another move of mine!”

Silver starlight swiftly rushed towards State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao like a comet, wherever it passed, the cloud space was completely split, creating an extremely eerie fracture zone.

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s ten fingers flew, strands of differently colored starlight gathered together like threading flowers, facing the silver starlight.

Like mending, yet like breaking, under the bombardment of this four-color starlight torrent, it surprisingly matched the silver starlight blow for blow.

From the distant void came a few inaudible gasps.

Because Cheng Yuxiao’s cultivation level was merely at the middle of the eighth tier.

While the Sumeru Palace Master was at the peak of the eighth tier.

They initially thought Cheng Yuxiao would have to employ the National Treasure Nine Bright Chime right off the bat, but now, without using the Nine Bright Chime, he’s fought to an even match.

This requires a reevaluation of Cheng Yuxiao’s combat power!

The two exchanged blows, fighting fiercely above the Nine Heavens, starlight shattered in chaos.

After a quarter of an hour, Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian suddenly laughed out loud, ”State Preceptor Cheng, why don’t we get serious!”

”Alright!”

Almost in conversation, Cheng Yuxiao strummed like playing the zither, striking continuously, each strike producing a four-color meteor.

In an instant, rows of four-color meteors rumbled towards Sumeru Palace Master.

Sumeru Palace Master was unfazed, space star power instantly transformed into a silver battle blade penetrating the void, each slash shattered a four-color meteor!

Battle blade slashed down like thunder.

Eleven consecutive slashes shattered eleven four-color meteors, in that instant, the silver battle blade seized the moment to deliver one more strike, this slash sent out a silver blade light transforming into hundreds of silver space moon wheels slashing towards State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao from all directions.

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s ten fingers flew, continued pounding out four-color meteors towards Sumeru Palace Master, simultaneously shooting starlight to bombard those hundreds of silver space moon wheels!

Yet these silver moon wheels were exceptionally swift.

Ultimately, two silver moon wheels struck like thunder on State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

One slashed open Cheng Yuxiao’s defense, the other directly struck his chest, slicing through Cheng Yuxiao’s robe at the chest, forcing him three steps back.

Opposite, Sumeru Palace Master had just shattered another four-color meteor, a smile had just formed, when from the shattered four-color meteor suddenly burst forth a pitch-black, thick thunder light, directly smashing through the Sumeru Palace’s defense, blasting the Sumeru Palace Master in the face.

In the blink of an eye, it charred the Sumeru Palace Master’s hair and beard black, forcing him two steps back.

The smile just appearing on his face froze suddenly, becoming awkward.

The two simultaneously stopped!

”Great Chen State Preceptor... truly extraordinary!”

”Palace Master Luo’s space star technique, also remarkable!”

In a flash, the clouds scattered in the sky quickly closed, returning to clarity.

The two great experts each offered mutual respect with bowed hands in the sky.

”Today’s visit was rushed, next time, I will revisit Great Chen State Preceptor with generous gifts.” Finished speaking, the Sumeru Palace Master with charred hair and beard cupped hands towards Cheng Yuxiao, turned and vanished into silver starlight.

”Palace Master Luo, safe travels, no farewell!”

Great Chen State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao also cupped hands in respectful send-off, above him, the Nine Bright Chime flashed faintly.

In this battle, hovering overhead, the Great Chen National Treasure Nine Bright Chime, though present, was never used!

The few lurking presences in the void quickly withdrew in the same instant, rapidly departing.

Each carried a sense of surprise.

Within the Imperial Palace, there were also people with wide eyes and open mouths, utterly shocked!

At this point, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao finally exhaled a breath of relief, slowly descended from Star Stepping, returning to the Dachen National Taoist Institute!

But as he entered Pill Dawn Palace, his face turned pale!
