Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1196: Chapter 975: The Battle for Supremacy Begins

Somewhere beneath the Starlight Dragon Vein.

Wenren Feng sat cross-legged against the Dragon Vein Sky Pillar, quietly waiting in place.

Now, Wenren Feng had already embedded the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar of Great Flame into it.

At this moment, he must guard this place and wait for others to capture the remaining Dragon Veins.

Wenren Feng stroked the Life Changing Mysterious Branch in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

Several hundred miles away at this time.

The petite, blue-haired beauty [Star] Stella stood in place.

Behind her, four Cross Stars shone dazzlingly bright, having fully released their True Form, with brilliant star power rapidly gathering on the four Cross Stars, gradually emanating a menacingly strong force.

”Last time, after I attacked him, he somehow counterattacked me out of nowhere. If I become heavily injured after this strike, John, you have to help me.”

Stella turned her head to John beside her.

John raised his magic wand and solemnly bestowed a layer of Holy Light Protection on Stella.

”Don’t worry, no matter how severe the injuries are, I will heal you!” John promised solemnly.

Stella nodded. John, as the [Pope], was skilled in various support magic, especially Healing Skills.

With his powerful Healing Skills, any severe injury could be cured.

Turning back, Stella’s Cross Star eyes flickered, locking onto Wenren Feng from afar.

This time, a full-force True Form Release strike should be able to bypass the opponent, thus the counterattack would naturally not land on me.

And if the person isn’t slain, I won’t be fatally injured either, as John’s Healing Skills can also save me...

As Stella’s thoughts raced, the four Cross Stars behind her had already reached their peak brightness.

Taking a deep breath silently, the star power in Stella’s eyes erupted.

”Shatter it, Ultimate Cross Star Killing Gun!”

The four Cross Stars behind her gleamed intensely, all energy instantly converging into a dazzling beam shooting towards Wenren Feng below the Dragon Vein Light Pillar!

Even at the Burning Sun Level, the perception range of one’s Spiritual Sense is limited.

Super long-distance attacks hold an advantage over common ranged attacks; they are harder to detect, allowing for unrestrained enhancement of attack strength!

The Ultimate Cross Star Killing Gun post-True Form Release, compared to the previous blow delivered at Wenren Feng’s base, is faster, stronger...piercing everything!

Suddenly, the Cross Star Killing Gun had already spanned hundreds of miles to reach Wenren Feng.

This strike was clearly aimed at Wenren Feng’s head.

At the critical moment, Wenren Feng opened his eyes.

In them, a golden line of causality shone brightly...it was indeed the causality line intercepted during the last confrontation.

Wenren Feng had anticipated Stella’s attack!

In his hand, brilliance burst forth from the Life Changing Mysterious Branch, Golden Plum dazzling, a mysterious wave suddenly unfolded.

In that instant, time seemed to come to a halt.

”Causality reversal, absolute inversion,” Wenren Feng murmured.

”Boom!”

After the gunshot, a massive blood hole appeared on the forehead.

However, it was not on Wenren Feng’s forehead...

But on Stella’s forehead several hundred miles away!

”Stella?!”

John’s eyes widened suddenly, watching Stella twitch before him, and immediately waved his wand to seal at full speed.

”Divine Embrace!”

Infinite Holy Light shot up from beneath John’s feet, a huge shadowy silhouette of an eight-winged angel appeared behind Stella, opening its arms to embrace her.

Such top-tier Healing Skills can have an effect even on severe injuries.

However...at this moment, Stella’s injury wasn’t particularly severe, but it was lethal!

This kind of one-hit-kill damage forebode death for a typical Star Card Master!

”Why...?”

Stella’s bright Cross Star eyes blankly stared at the golden figure of Wenren Feng unharmed from afar, unable to comprehend how this strike turned out this way.

How did he discover me...

Even if he discovered me, how did he counterattack?

This counterattack...was evidently different from before, more effortlessly refined...

”Holy Artifact...?”

Stella’s gaze finally fell on the Life Changing Mysterious Branch in Wenren Feng’s hand, then swiftly dimmed...

”Stella!”

John cried out, moving forward to catch the falling Stella, his trembling pupils still somewhat dazed.

After Parker, now another companion suddenly collapsed in violent death before him.

”Damn...Divine Protection!”

John muttered in a low voice, a warm, vast Cross Holy Light spread from him.

Not rescuing a dying person is not his wish, much less a ”companion.”

This time, John could not resist wanting to use Resurrection!

Just then, suddenly a woman appeared beside him, her slender white fingers pressing against John’s back.

”Hmm?!”

John turned his head to look at the other person, whose appearance was stunning, expression cold, and wearing the Truth Cloak.

”Carina, you are...!” John exclaimed.

The person who came was none other than the Empress Carina.

”Sealing Spirit, Five Extremes.” Carina said expressionlessly.

In an instant, layers of dark purple runes lit up beneath Carina’s five fingers, transforming into five chains of runes that surged into John’s Star Sea!

John’s entire body trembled with Spirit Light, and the True Form Release he had just initiated immediately fell into chaos.

Looking at Carina in front of him, John knew it was her Sealing Skill. He immediately let out a low shout, his Star Power surging to counter the Five Extremes’ Seal.

”John, stop.” Carina’s voice was cold as she slowly said, ”Even Lord Constantin instructed that the Divine Protection is to be reserved for the Fool.”

A trace of struggle appeared on John’s face as if he was still hesitant.

Seeing this, Carina raised her hand, drew the Knight Sword from her waist, and swung it, slicing Stella into a cloud of blood mist in a single breath!

At this moment, John had already Released True Form. If he insisted on breaking free, Carina would need to Release to completely seal him.

Instead, it was more straightforward to destroy Stella’s body directly.

Witnessing this, John’s pupils contracted, and his expression showed a trace of confusion.

Carina said coldly, ”With us taking action, you only need to provide basic support... Let’s go, Tisa has already gone up.”

Saying this, Carina sheathed the Knight Sword and walked forward.

As John looked at Stella, who was sliced into pieces, a hint of hesitation rose in his eyes.

In reality, even without a body, he could be resurrected.

But the cost...

Closing his eyes, John drew a cross on his chest for Stella.

He then sighed and followed Carina forward.

Under the Starlight Dragon Vein, Tisa walked over step by step.

”Cause and effect, retaliation... Your ability is indeed similar to mine,” Tisa said with some interest in her eyes as she looked at Wenren Feng holding the Life Changing Mysterious Branch.

”Wheel of Destiny, Tisa...” Wenren Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he shook his head, ”You and I are fundamentally different.”

As golden light flew and photons moved, John also arrived with Carina shortly thereafter.

Looking at the people in front of him, the Golden Plum around Wenren Feng’s body slowly rotated.

”It seems I must go all out...”

...

In the Heavenly Palace, eight people faced off.

In the extremely spacious hall, the atmosphere had reached an extreme level of tension.

If anyone below the Burning Sun Level were to come here, they would likely find it hard to breathe under such pressure!

The Great Flame and Qiguang were at a standoff, while Basen and the other three Grey Realm Ten Weapon Bearers obviously wouldn’t make the first move.

”Then let me open this grand play~” Karen smirked as his figure spun and flew toward Su Yuan and Xiahou, ”The opening act is everyone’s favorite, the Big Living Transformation!”

While still in flight, the Truth Cloak around Karen’s body grew larger and larger, expanding dozens of times within a breath to envelop Su Yuan and Xiahou.

Seeing the opponent, Su Yuan’s eyes glinted with silver light as his Infinite Power unfolded, propping up and shattering the enveloping Truth Cloak with a ”crash.”

The Truth Cloak instantly turned into countless fragments, forcibly shattered by Infinite Power.

However, in the next moment, behind the broken Truth Cloak, a huge eerie black box suddenly appeared, swallowing Su Yuan and Xiahou.

Karen smirked, ”This devil’s black box is equipped with countless instruments and devices for slaughtering devils, capable of directly shredding and crushing people, a form of ’Big Living Transformation’ in its own right~”

Yet in the next moment, with a flash of silver light, Su Yuan grabbed Xiahou’s arm and directly emerged from the black box.

”Thank you, Su True Monarch.”

Xiahou said softly, his voice betraying no emotion.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, ”Xia True Monarch, no need to be so polite.”

”To think you’d instantly teleport out of the devil’s black box?” Karen’s expression froze for a moment before she raised an eyebrow, ”This teleportation ability is even stronger than John described~”

Skills like these that trap generally have an isolating effect.

Yet Su Yuan and Xiahou could easily teleport out?

It felt like punching a pillow—wasted effort!

Courtesy demands reciprocity, Su Yuan’s five fingers pressed repeatedly, and countless Sky God Bombs shot toward Karen like machine gun fire.

Dark light flickered around Karen, and various illusions quickly materialized in all directions.

Although continuously shattered by the Sky God Bombs, they did not catch up with her.

This technique is called Illusion Air Movement, though its range is much shorter than Su Yuan’s teleportation; it has virtually no cooldown, is fast to cast, and leaves residual images for interference, specializing in combat displacement skills.

Seeing this, Su Yuan drew a line with his left hand, and an Infinite Barrier instantly blocked Karen’s rear, restricting her movement.

In a flash, there was no way to escape.

”Narrow escape, a classic of magic!”

Seeing Su Yuan’s Sky God Bombs about to hit her, Karen chuckled, quickly spun in place, and her Truth Cloak expanded once more before disappearing suddenly.

”Space Techniques...”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of contemplation. It seems the Magician Karen doesn’t just use Space Techniques but is highly skilled in them.

However, Su Yuan could see that this was not Karen’s own power.

It was more like... power copied or harvested from elsewhere!
