The Azure Dragon Guardian trembled at the sight of the Six-in-One Primordial Spirit. He knew all too well the terrifying extent of their power if they could complete the Twelve-in-One Formation. He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen; he had to obliterate the Six-in-One Primordial Spirit before him.
In the blink of an eye, the Azure Dragon Guardian's aura erupted, and a massive Azure Dragon Blade materialized in his hand, seemingly formed from the purest azure energy in the world. This blade contained all of the Azure Dragon Guardian's power and will.
"Azure Dragon Sky-Piercing Slash!" the Azure Dragon Guardian roared, and the Azure Dragon Greatsword in his hand instantly erupted with dazzling light. Countless forces gathered on the blade, forming a terrifying blade aura. This blade aura swept towards the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit like a raging storm, as if it wanted to destroy everything in its path.
Seeing this, the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit was not to be outdone. It immediately made its move, conjuring a massive star staff in its hand. Illuminated by the light, the star staff appeared even more majestic and solemn. It poured all its power into the star staff, and instantly, the staff shone brightly, releasing a powerful energy wave.
Rumble...
A deafening roar erupted as the Star Staff in the hand of the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit slammed into the Azure Dragon Sky-Piercing Slash. The two collided in mid-air, unleashing a dazzling light and a deafening boom. In an instant, the entire space seemed to be shaken by this power, tearing apart and collapsing in an instant.
However, this clash of forces did not last long and quickly subsided. When the dust settled, both the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit and the Azure Dragon Guardian were seen retreating a distance, their faces showing solemn expressions. Clearly, this exchange had not yielded a victor; it would be difficult for either side to defeat the other.
"The power of just one person, though obtained at the cost of his life, is enough to contend with the combined power of our six primordial spirits. It seems we underestimated the four guardians of China," the Aries Star Emperor sighed.
“He can’t last long, but we can fight for a long time.” Scorpio Star Emperor said coldly. He was somewhat unwilling. He thought that their Yuan Shen Fusion Battle Technique would be able to easily kill the four guardians, but he did not expect that the six-in-one technique would only fight the Azure Dragon to a draw. This was hard for him to accept.
The Primordial Spirit Unity Battle Technique was something they cultivated for a hundred years, with the guidance of Xi Ya, before they finally succeeded. The biggest reason for their success was that the twelve Star Emperors were complementary beings; otherwise, they would never have been able to achieve Primordial Spirit Unity.
"The Star Emperor unites six into one, destroying all heavens and earth." At this moment, the six-in-one primordial spirit once again gathered power and attacked the Azure Dragon Guardian. That terrifying power seemed to be about to tear the Azure Dragon Guardian apart.
"Transform into an Azure Dragon, Azure Dragon Soars Through the Heavens." The Azure Dragon Guardian's Azure Dragon Greatsword flew out of its hand in an instant, transforming into an incomparably powerful Azure Dragon. With a single movement, space shattered, sweeping towards the world-destroying power of the Six Harmonies One Primordial Spirit. The two world-destroying forces collided instantly, causing the void to explode. Terrifying energy aftershocks spread out, affecting the other Star Emperors, as well as the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Guardians, who were instantly blasted away by the force.
Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Guardian and the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit were also sent flying backwards. The Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit was now somewhat dim, and the azure light on the Azure Dragon Guardian had also dimmed considerably.
"Virgo Star Emperor, Taurus Star Emperor, Libra Star Emperor, Leo Star Emperor, Capricorn Star Emperor, Cancer Star Emperor, gather quickly! We are about to activate the Twelve Primordial Spirits United Battle Technique!" Scorpio Star Emperor shouted.
Upon hearing Scorpio Star Emperor's words, Azure Dragon Guardian's expression immediately changed. If they were to combine their twelve powers into one, that would be a formidable opponent. Even if White Tiger Guardian returned, Black Tortoise unleashed its Black Tortoise Armor, and Vermilion Bird unleashed its Vermilion Bird Armor, and the four of them joined forces with all their might, they would still be no match for the Star Emperors' Twelve Primordial Spirits United Battle Technique.
"Stop them! Don't let them come any closer, or we will surely be defeated today. Even if the White Tiger gets the Qilin Totem, he won't be able to leave!" the Azure Dragon Guardian shouted.
Seeing the other six Star Emperors about to fly towards the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit, the Vermilion Bird Star Emperor gritted his teeth and planned to transform into Vermilion Bird Armor, but the Black Tortoise beat him to it.
"Burn! Xuanwu Armor Transformation!" Xuanwu Guardian shouted, and his dark green Xuanwu primordial spirit instantly transformed into a stream of light, enveloping him. The light flashed, and a dark green armor appeared on Xuanwu Guardian's body, its surface covered in intricate runes.
"Vermilion Bird, one of us must remain, and you are the most suitable. China still needs you." After the Black Tortoise Guardian finished speaking, his figure moved instantly, blocking the six Star Emperors who were rushing towards the six-in-one primordial spirit. A large hammer appeared instantly.
"You all say I'm a tortoise, all I have is strong defense and no offensive power. Well then, let me show you the brute force of Xuanwu!" said Xuanwu Guardian, as he swung his great hammer at the six Star Emperors.
The six Star Emperors' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but were sent flying backward by the swinging hammer.
Upon seeing this, the Scorpio Star Emperor immediately manipulated his Six-in-One Primordial Spirit to attack the Xuanwu Primordial Spirit.
Upon seeing this, the Azure Dragon Guardian instantly stood in front of the Six-in-One Primordial Spirit.
"Your opponent is me. Are you trying to leave before the fight is over?" the Azure Dragon Guardian said, looking at the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit. Then, the Azure Dragon Greatsword reappeared in his hand, and he slashed at the Six Harmonies Primordial Spirit.
“We also unite our primordial spirits into one,” said Virgo Star Emperor.
Immediately, the primordial spirits of the six Star Emperors were about to converge, but at this moment, the Vermilion Bird moved. With a movement of her figure, a blazing heat suddenly spread out and swept towards the Virgo Star Emperor's handle.
However, the primordial spirits of the other Star Emperors converged in an instant, forming a huge vortex in the sky, and a primordial spirit combining five elements appeared.
However, just as it formed, the Xuanwu Guardian swung its hammer at it. The Five-in-One Primordial Spirit's expression changed, and a star staff appeared in its hand to meet the Xuanwu Guardian's hammer.
boom……………
However, his power did not seem to be as strong as that of the Xuanwu Primordial Spirit. He was directly knocked back hundreds of meters before he could regain his footing, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
It gathered its power and charged towards the Xuanwu guardian, and the two immediately clashed.
"Virgo Star Emperor, today, I will turn you to ashes." At this moment, Suzaku was extremely angry, which made the already scorching and volatile flames around her even more terrifying.
Even if the Four Guardians succeed today, from now on, she will be the only one left. Although new Guardians will be born, they will all be new. None of the Guardians who were with her will be left, which makes her extremely sad.
The Virgo Star Emperor looked at the Vermilion Bird Guardian with a serious expression. The other Star Emperors were all tied up and she was no match for the Vermilion Bird Guardian in a one-on-one fight. After all, the three of them had failed to defeat the Vermilion Bird Guardian even when they joined forces. Moreover, if she could really compete with the Vermilion Bird Guardian, she wouldn't have the indelible scar on her face.
"Vermilion Bird Primordial Spirit, Vermilion Bird Burns the Heavens!" In an instant, countless Vermilion Bird flames spread out and swept towards Virgo Star Emperor, whose primordial spirit immediately radiated golden light.
"Star Break." Instantly, a force swept towards the Vermilion Bird Flame. The two forces collided, and energy ripples spread out. Virgo Star Emperor was immediately sent flying backward.
As Zhuque moved, her longsword, burning with intense flames, slashed towards Virgo Star Emperor. Virgo Star Emperor's primordial spirit instantly blocked in front of her, and her star staff met Zhuque's flaming sword head-on.
boom………………
The two clashed, and Virgo's primordial spirit was immediately repelled. However, the Vermilion Bird Guardian was relentless and thrust its sword at Virgo Star Emperor once more.
At this moment, Virgo Star Empress was alone facing the Vermilion Bird Guardian. She realized that this Vermilion Bird Guardian, whom she had always gritted her teeth and vowed to kill, was many times more powerful than before. She was completely powerless against him.
"We won." Hua Shen said to Xi Ya, who was still looking at her phone. In his eyes, although only one of the four guardians remained for the time being, the White Tiger Primordial Spirit could obtain the Qilin Totem, since all twelve Star Emperors had been tied down.
When the White Tiger Guardian, wielding the White Tiger Armor, enters the Holy Mountain, it's as if he's entered a deserted place.
"Is that so?" Upon hearing Hua Shen's words, Xi Ya didn't even raise her head. She looked at Hua Shen with amusement. "Do you really think I only have twelve Star Emperors? Transforming into a dragon, you're taking you far too seriously."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Xi Ya's words and seeing her calm expression, the dragon's face suddenly changed, and the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger.
At this moment, the White Tiger Guardian had already entered the sacred mountain. Like a war god descended to earth, he observed his surroundings and sensed the location of the Qilin totem. Suddenly, he saw the Qilin totem, and with a swift movement, he headed towards it.
Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in golden armor suddenly appeared, also holding a star staff in his hand. However, the power emanating from his star staff made the White Tiger Guardian frown.
"Who are you?" The White Tiger Guardian stared at the middle-aged man in golden armor before him, his eyes filled with disbelief. They had fought against the Holy Mountain countless times and thought they knew the Holy Mountain's strength very well. But they never expected that the Holy Mountain was hiding so deeply. In addition to the twelve Star Emperors, they had hidden another Star Emperor, and one that was many times stronger than the others.
As everyone knows, the twelve Star Emperors are all at the peak of the Emperor Realm, but the one in front of us is actually a demigod. The Star Staff in his hand is not a semi-divine artifact, but a divine artifact, an absolute divine artifact, even surpassing the divine artifacts of their individual totems.
"White Tiger Guardian, I've long admired your name. Now that I've met you, I never imagined you wouldn't live much longer." The middle-aged man didn't answer the White Tiger Guardian's question, but instead looked at him and said.
"I don't care who you are. Whoever stands in my way today, I will kill them. I am determined to obtain the Qilin Totem," the White Tiger Guardian said coldly.
“Hehe…” The middle-aged man chuckled coldly upon hearing the White Tiger Guardian’s words. “White Tiger Guardian, I admit you are very powerful now, but let me tell you, as long as I, Butcher Star Emperor, am here today, no one will be able to take away the Qilin Totem.”
"Then give it a try." After saying that, the White Tiger Guardian suddenly produced a large sword in his hand. The sword was gleaming with a cold light, and the White Tiger Guardian rushed towards the Butcher Star Emperor in an instant.
Facing the overwhelming power of the White Tiger Guardian, Butcher Star Emperor moved his Star Staff, and a dazzling golden light shot out, along with a powerful force that directly met the White Tiger Guardian's slashing blade.
boom…………
A devastating impact swept out instantly. Normally, the sacred mountain should have crumbled instantly in the face of such a powerful impact. However, as the impact swept over the sacred mountain, it suddenly shone with a strange golden light. The powerful impact struck the strange golden light, just like water droplets falling into the ocean, without making the slightest ripple.
At this moment, the White Tiger Guardian frowned deeply. He had thought about how powerful the person in front of him, who called himself the Butcher Star Emperor, was, but he did not expect that the opponent would easily block his attack in his current state.
"White Tiger Guardian, if this is all you've got, then I'm sorry, from this day forward, there will be no more Four Guardians in China, because your totems will all remain here today," said Butcher Star Emperor.
With the blessing of the divine artifact and his own demigod cultivation, he now possesses the strength to contend with a true god. After all, he is not an ordinary demigod, but a demigod with divine power. To put it bluntly, he is only a thin membrane away from becoming a true god. His source cone has not only become somewhat ethereal, but it is also showing signs of solidifying.
"White Tiger Heaven-Opening Slash." At this moment, the White Tiger Guardian immediately retreated, and then the power around him instantly condensed. The blade in his hand seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth, and he slashed down at Butcher Star Emperor.
"Hmm! That's more interesting." Facing the White Tiger's guardian strike, Butcher Star Emperor's face finally showed a hint of seriousness, and then a primordial spirit instantly appeared behind him.
"Butcher's Primordial Spirit, Slaughter the World." The Star Staff in the Butcher's Primordial Spirit's hand flew towards the Butcher's Primordial Spirit in an instant. A power that seemed capable of annihilating the world immediately emanated from the Butcher's Primordial Spirit. The moment the Star Staff entered the Butcher's Primordial Spirit's hand, it transformed into a butcher's knife for slaughtering pigs. The butcher's knife was filled with power no less than that of the White Tiger Heaven-Splitting Slash.
The two forces collided instantly, producing a thunderous sound that swept across the area. At the center of the collision, space shattered, and the two were sent flying backward in the next second.
"Interesting, very interesting. It's been many, many years since I last made a move." Butcher Star Emperor was filled with excitement.
The White Tiger's guardian's expression grew even more solemn. The Butcher Star Emperor's power had exceeded his expectations. He simply couldn't defeat the Butcher Star Emperor. If they couldn't defeat the Butcher Star Emperor, then their plan would have completely failed, and they might even perish here. Without them, China would be surrounded by enemies on all sides, which was something they absolutely could not allow to happen.
"No, I can't let this happen. I must take the Qilin totem." With this thought, the White Tiger Guardian suddenly became resolute. They had already gone all in. He was already a dying man, so what was there to fear? There was nothing to fear.
"Ah!" A tremendous battle power suddenly erupted from the White Tiger Guardian, causing the excited Butcher Star Emperor's expression to change.
“You have no way out, so you have to forge ahead. You want to win, which just happens to activate the White Tiger’s characteristics, making your combat power even stronger. Hmm! Very interesting, but unfortunately you are destined to fail,” said Butcher Star Emperor.
In the next instant, the White Tiger Guardian charged toward Butcher Star Emperor with earth-shattering battle intent. Butcher Star Emperor immediately moved, and his Butcher Primordial Spirit also charged toward the White Tiger Guardian.
The two clashed again. The White Tiger Guardian's greatsword grew even larger, its blade emanating a powerful aura that seemed capable of tearing apart any obstacle. Meanwhile, the Butcher's primordial spirit's star staff became even more majestic, with powerful energy surging from it, forming energy storms that enveloped the White Tiger Guardian.
The battle reached its climax, the two figures clashing and separating repeatedly in mid-air, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce and deadly. For a moment, energy storms raged across the sky, threatening to engulf the entire world.
The White Tiger Guardian frantically slashed at the Butcher's spirit, while the Butcher's spirit relentlessly bombarded the White Tiger Guardian.
At that moment, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from outside the sacred mountain.
This cry caused the Star Emperors of the Six-in-One Primordial Spirit and the Five-in-One Primordial Spirit to change their expressions.
At this moment, the other half of Virgo Star Queen's intact face was scorched by the flames of the Vermilion Bird. The blazing flames of the Vermilion Bird burned on her face and could not be extinguished no matter what she did.
She wailed in agony, her body trembling.
The other Star Emperors wanted to help, but they were held back by the Azure Dragon Guardian and the Black Tortoise Guardian and couldn't free up their hands at all.
"Virgo Star Emperor, today is your death day," the Vermilion Bird Guardian said coldly.
"Vermilion Bird Burns the Heavens." Vermilion Bird Guardian's longsword was engulfed in intense flames as she thrust it once more towards Virgo Star Emperor.
At this moment, Virgo Star Emperor was in a terrible state. Virgo's primordial spirit hurriedly tried to defend itself, but it was instantly enveloped by Vermilion Bird, and raging flames immediately spread across Virgo's primordial spirit.
As her primordial spirit was burned, Virgo Star Emperor immediately felt himself being burned as well.
The intense pain caused her to scream hysterically.
"Suzaku, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Suzaku roared angrily, but how could she alone be a match for Suzaku?
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Guardian once again summoned the Vermilion Bird Primordial Spirit, which instantly merged with the totem above her head.
"Zhuque, how dare you!" Taurus Star Emperor roared upon seeing this scene.
It's no secret that the Taurus Star Emperor likes the Virgo Star Emperor, but how could a rough and uncultured man like him be worthy of the stunningly beautiful Virgo Star Emperor?
Later, he felt his opportunity had come. The Virgo Emperor's face was ruined by the Vermilion Bird's protection, which made the usually proud Virgo Emperor suddenly lose his pride.
