Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1071: Chapter 858: Evil Thought Puppet

The Priestess’s face showed a moment of astonishment, but soon, the divine light in her eyes dimmed.

”Boom boom boom...”

All around, numerous phantom arms transformed into spirit light and exploded, and in just a moment, the aura on the Priestess also dissipated accordingly.

Su Yuan watched as the Priestess slowly fell. Although the battle wasn’t long, it was quite perilous.

As a member of the Truth Secret Society, this Priestess’s abilities were truly bizarre.

Even the Ice Sky Elf Envoy, a Legendary Star Beast of the Three Suns Realm, lost its combat power almost instantly once entangled by her curse power.

Fortunately, she was slain before her True Form Release, otherwise who knows how much more trouble it would have caused...

However, looking at the Priestess’s corpse, Su Yuan still felt some lingering unease.

There was no time to think too much in the heat of the moment.

But thinking about it now, some doubts arose.

Since mastering Instant Unlimited, anyone affected by it could mostly only rely on passive defenses.

Yet this Priestess, after being hit and as Su Yuan approached with his sword, countless phantom arms moved again on their own.

It was like inviting one into a trap, trying to use the opportunity to counter-kill Su Yuan.

It seemed Instant Unlimited had limited effect on her, or perhaps... she wasn’t hit at all!

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the distant Ice Sky Elf Envoy.

Even now, the black, red, and green curse seals on the Ice Sky Elf Envoy remained, circulating a powerful curse power that kept it from standing!

Su Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, immediately shook his sleeve, and the Undead Evil Fire howled out, enveloping the Priestess’s corpse.

Su Yuan hadn’t had much exposure to curses, but he knew they were a combination of spiritual power and Star Power.

Unlike ordinary Star Power Techniques, curses were more elusive and typically required the caster to continually apply incantations.

Therefore, after killing the caster, most curse seals would quickly weaken or directly dissipate without the mental support of the caster, unless it’s a special curse technique like ”sacrifice.”

And now, the Ice Sky Elf Envoy still lay on the ground, unable to stand...

Which could only mean the enemy wasn’t truly dead!

Under the scorching of the Undead Evil Fire, even the Priestess’s abnormally tough body gradually cracked, burned, and turned to ash visibly.

Suddenly, there was a slight shattering sound from within the Priestess’s body.

”Hmm?”

Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly, immediately becoming aware.

He saw dense and evil curse power howling out, a mass of black light rising from the Priestess’s corpse, swirling and transforming into a sixty or seventy-year-old, withered old woman.

The curse power outside the old woman’s body was as thick as ink, extremely viscous, and her bright eyes were slightly harsh, clearly an Energy Body.

Su Yuan watched the old woman within the Undead Evil Fire and slowly said:

”No wonder, no wonder there was always a sense of disharmony before, not just in the voice, but even in the demeanor and actions... so, this is your true form?”

The old woman cackled: ”That’s right, the previous body was a rebel leader from the Heretic Court that I specially made into a Zombie Meat Puppet.”

Su Yuan nodded secretly. If this curse-powered Energy Body old woman was the real Priestess, then all the previous disharmonies were fully explained.

The Priestess’s current form matched her voice extremely well.

Earlier, she wasn’t hit by Instant Unlimited at all; only the ”beautiful woman” made into a Zombie Meat Puppet was hit, allowing the Priestess residing within to continue using the phantom arms’ ability for defense.

As a magician, her body was so tough that even a Pseudo Saint Level Demon Saber couldn’t cut through, also due to this Zombie Puppet.

This specially created meat puppet had almost no issues besides its voice.

Su Yuan said: ”Not only control the living but also ’inhabit’ others, quite the method.”

The Priestess snorted coldly and said, ”Unfortunately, I had just started using ’her,’ and she’s already cut in half and burned to ashes by you.”

Saying this, as she watched the meat puppet completely turn to ashes under the Undead Evil Fire, a perverted joy arose in her eyes.

Su Yuan looked at the Priestess and chuckled lightly: ”You don’t seem too regretful; instead, you seem to find some pleasure in it.

Could it be that she was someone you knew, and... you were jealous of her youth and beauty?”

Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, the Priestess’s expression darkened suddenly, her curse-patterned eyes coldly staring at Su Yuan.

At this moment, the Undead Evil Fire, with the powerful pollution ability derived from the Crimson Evil Fire, was about to break through the curse power outside the Priestess and start burning her.

Even an Energy Body couldn’t ignore the burning of Divine Fire, let alone the now decaying effect of the Undead Evil Fire.

The Priestess suddenly sneered: ”Boy, since you destroyed my meat puppet, you’ll have to replace it!”

The Priestess raised her left hand, placed the cross mark in front of her chest, a fierce and twisted look in her eyes.

”Obey my evil thoughts, die, die, die! Evil Thought Puppet!”

Intense ghostly light erupted, and within the ghostly light, the Priestess’s figure could be seen elongating rapidly.

Once the spirit light dissipated, the Priestess had completely transformed.

A tall, black-gray body several stories high, with a demon-like face yet exquisite eyebrows and eyes, looked far more attractive than her original elderly form.

Under her arms, four gigantic arms of black, red, green, and yellow emerged, each a different color, with the legs gone and only her skirt floating mid-air.

At a glance, it was a massive conglomeration of evil thoughts!

”Die for me!”

As the True Form Release unfolded, the Priestess immediately let out a sharp scream towards Su Yuan!

The terrifying curse power exploded, forming a spherical domain that instantly filled the surrounding area within a few kilometers.

”The True Form Release of the Truth Knight...”

Su Yuan’s mind shifted, and the Undead Evil Fire engulfed his body, blocking all the curse power scattered within the domain.

Then, Su Yuan grasped the Demon Saber, and sword intent surged. After a brief moment of gathering power, the Void Sword Qi slashed across half the sky.

The Priestess curled her lips into a mocking smile, raised one of her green arms, and caught the gathering Void Sword Qi, crushing it in her grasp!

The sword qi exploded, and Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”The materialized arm after the True Form Release is much stronger than the previous illusory arms.”

At this moment, although the Priestess had only four arms, they were vastly superior in both strength and defense compared to the countless illusory arms from earlier.

Even in the Three Suns Realm, it was considered top-notch!

And just then, Su Yuan keenly sensed something, and he saw a strange green curse pattern suddenly appear on the Demon Saber and spread onto his arm!

”Hmm? Casting a curse from a distance!” Su Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly.

Most curse techniques require a medium for casting.

Earlier, the Priestess had to use illusory arms to make contact with the Ice Sky Elf Envoy to cast curse power.

But now, just by grabbing his slashed Void Sword Qi, she used it as a medium to cast a curse on him from a distance?

”No wonder it’s a True Form Release, such an ability truly defies reason!” Su Yuan’s expression turned serious.

Compared to the Ice Sky Elf Envoy, Su Yuan’s perception was undoubtedly much sharper.

With the experience of the Ice Sky Elf Envoy ahead, green represented sluggishness, and Su Yuan quickly realized his perception had dulled!

”Hahaha! Didn’t expect that my Evil Thought Curse could hit you like this!”

The Priestess let out a sharp laugh, immediately flying close and swinging all four arms to grab simultaneously!

Su Yuan understood that he had already been hit, and the information he ”saw” had slowed down.

Facing such an opponent with ”stacking debuff,” if he fell behind, it would be like sinking into a quagmire, making it increasingly difficult to turn the tables.

”Heavenly God Descent!”

A layer of Spirit Gang lit up on his body, and Su Yuan wasted no time in unleashing Heavenly God Descent!

With divine light covering his body, the green curse pattern on his arm was instantly shattered, and all negative states and restricting effects were immediately suppressed!

Su Yuan returned to normal, and the color-changing four arms were already rushing towards him!

Having invoked Heavenly God Descent, Su Yuan immediately swung the Demon Saber to slash at them!

”Clang, clang, clang...!”

Although the Priestess’s four arms were tremendously powerful and exceptionally rigid, with the Star Dominator and Heavenly God Descent’s support, Su Yuan was unafraid.

And whenever the curse power on the arms attempted to surge through the Demon Saber onto Su Yuan, it would be shaken off by Heavenly God Descent!

Immune to most negative states and restricting effects, untouched by Evil Punishment—such is Heavenly God Descent.

However, the opponent’s curse power was terribly powerful, and Su Yuan dared not let the four Evil Thought Giant Hands land on him directly.

If they directly formed a curse seal, even Heavenly God Descent might not withstand it!

”Bang!”

After a series of fierce confrontations, a flash of silver light, and Su Yuan instantly reached behind the Priestess.

”Damn it, so agile!”

The Priestess roared angrily, and the closest red arm immediately reached for Su Yuan.

Su Yuan swung the Demon Saber, blowing it away, while the other three arms followed closely to attack him.

However, Su Yuan had already initiated Extreme Acceleration, with the power of wind and fire surging in his palm, launching a Divine Prohibition strike at the Priestess.

The Divine Prohibition Chains powered by Wind and Fire shot out, crawling rapidly onto the Priestess’s body.

Yet under the powerful influence of the Priestess’s curse power, even the spread of Divine Prohibition encountered significant resistance!

”What kind of sealing skill is this!”

The Priestess was shocked, suppressing it with curse power while manipulating the Evil Thought Giant Hands to attack Su Yuan.

Su Yuan made a decisive move, with Infinite Power temporarily blocking the three Evil Thought Giant Hands, and during this time, the Divine Prohibition Chains accelerated towards the four Evil Thought Arms.

But as they surged over halfway up the arms, Su Yuan felt a sense of difficulty progressing.

”Truly worthy of True Form Release... my Realm is still too shallow.”

Su Yuan understood that his Chongyang Realm weakened the upper limit of Divine Prohibition’s power, making it impossible to completely seal the four Evil Thought Giant Hands post-True Form Release.

Seeing the Evil Thought Giant Hands about to break through the Infinite Barrier simultaneously, Su Yuan made a swift decision, concentrating the power of Divine Prohibition on the red and yellow arms.

The red arm would weaken the body, even making the Ice Sky Elf Envoy unable to withstand it—a significant threat.

As for the yellow arm, its exact effect was unknown, so it was prudent to neutralize it directly.

With sealing energy concentrated, the Divine Prohibition Chains quickly spread, and the previously sinister red and yellow hands dimmed swiftly under the power of Divine Prohibition.

Meanwhile, the Evil Thought Giant Hands had already broken through the Infinite Power, reaching for Su Yuan together!
