Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Circulation Stars Flag

Chen Guan had already realized that Chief Judge Qi’s true body wasn’t actually here, and even the secret treasure and pet in his hands weren’t real either.

Instead, through some secret technique, secret skill, or the power of a secret treasure, his true self, secret treasure, and pet were projected here, like a mere projection.

These projections themselves had no physical form or power, just a phantom, and killing them would have no impact on Chief Judge Qi.

However, Chief Judge Qi could transmit his own or his secret treasure’s and pet’s power through these projections.

So no matter how hard Chen Guan exerted himself, no matter how strong his power was, it couldn’t harm Chief Judge Qi in the slightest, nor could it stop him from doing anything.

In this sky-full of Chief Judge Qi’s phantoms, his true body could erupt with combat power through any one of them, making it completely unstoppable.

"An elder with a thousand years of accumulation like this is really not so easy to deal with," Chen Guan sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the battle in the Great Cave Heaven. In there, one’s own power was only a part of the battle.

Compared to the Blessed Land and Grotto Heaven, the Great Cave Heaven relied even more on external forces.

A person himself only had one Secret Law, but a Ninth Awakening Cultivator could summon ten pets to fight, thus explaining ten kinds of Secret Laws.

Coupled with the abilities of various secret treasures, battles in the Great Cave Heaven no longer focused on muscle but on technique, or rather, the art of war.

Of course, it’s not to say that power is useless in the Great Cave Heaven, just that the variability of techniques is broader, making it easier to gain an advantage in battle and play a role faster.

Just like the effect of the God-Sealing Map, it isn’t limited by space and contact, and can play a role directly, which pure power cannot achieve.

However, if the power is strong enough, breaking ten thousand techniques with one strike is not impossible.

Moreover, technique itself also relies on power; without power, a technique itself can hardly be effective.

The so-called boundless Mana requires both to complement each other.

Chen Guan now only relied on the power and techniques of himself and Ghost Eye, and was naturally at a disadvantage against someone like Chief Judge Qi with a thousand years of accumulation.

Chief Judge Qi could bring out all sorts of things to deal with Chen Guan, while Chen Guan, limited by what he held in his hands, was very passive when fighting.

The only consolation is that Chief Judge Qi’s illusory body is not completely without limitations.

At least he can’t make all the illusory bodies erupt with combat power; looking at the sky full of incarnations, each time he can only release power through one incarnation, it’s just hard to guess through which one he’s doing it.

Chief Judge Qi, like a god in the sky, waved the Star Flag in his hand, and since it was unknown which person’s Star Flag was effective, Chen Guan had no target to strike at.

When the energy on the Star Flag erupted, causing a ripple, Chen Guan immediately used the Empty Leaf to cover his eyes.

Just this once, the Empty Leaf randomly resulted in a fifty percent chance, and it did not manage to erase the incarnation from which the erupting power came.

With a wave of the Great Banner, the sky was darkened, and Chen Guan and Ghost Eye suddenly felt trapped in a starry sky, which was obviously different from the outside world, likely manifested by the Star Flag.

Earlier, with the God-Sealing Map locked in, Chen Guan found it hard to escape, and now, being trapped in a starry sky made it even harder to escape.

Chen Guan pondered to himself whether he should modify his Secret Law to escape the current predicament.

Since the Secret Law could only be modified once in a short period, he could indeed escape by modifying the Secret Law now.

Based on previous observations, Chen Guan had already understood the role of that painting, and a slight modification of the Secret Law should render that painting ineffective.

But no matter how the Secret Law is modified, it can only have one limiting clause and cannot be all-encompassing. If modified to counteract the God-Sealing Map’s effect, it could no longer counter all Secret Laws.

Faced with an existence like Chief Judge Qi, not being invulnerable to all techniques is obviously more dangerous.

Being able to contend with a strong Ninth Awakening entity, the effect of invulnerability to all techniques is vast, preventing him from being quickly killed by mysterious powers and laws.

So at such a juncture, Chen Guan must consider carefully and cannot blindly make changes. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

In terms of Secret Collection, what was just used hasn’t yet recovered, leaving only Creation World available.

"I need to awaken the Secret Realm of the Eighth Awakening quickly. With the boost from the Secret Realm, the Secret Collection can recover swiftly," Chen Guan knew this wasn’t the time to be thinking about these things, and he could only wait and see what unique features this starry sky, manifested by the Star Flag, held.

Ghost Eye accelerated to the limit but couldn’t fly out of this starry sky’s boundaries, which seemed like an unending labyrinth. No matter how Ghost Eye flew, the position of the stars remained unchanged.

When Chen Guan saw the stars flickering all over the sky, he realized something was amiss.

Beams of starlight descended from the sky, like a vast meteor shower falling.

Each beam of starlight contained incredibly frightening power.

Previously, when Chen Guan witnessed the Celestial Injury Star’s Celestial Injury Punch, its power was already mighty enough to move mountains and seas, a sight that amazed him.

But now, within this starry sky, each beam of starlight’s power was no less potent than the Celestial Injury Punch, and possibly even stronger.

The Celestial Injury Star was but one person, while the stars within this sky were countless, with overwhelming starlight falling, a spectacle beyond human capacity.

Ghost Eye burst with extreme speed, dodging those terrifying beams of starlight; if it physically touched any of them, it would probably be shattered instantly.

Chief Judge Qi’s secret treasures, being capable of such formidable feats, were beyond imagination and far beyond Ghost Eye’s reach.

Fortunately, Ghost Eye had the aid of the Little Gray Cloud, making its speed astonishingly fast and allowing it to rapidly traverse the starlight that resembled a rain of stars, evading one barrage of starlight after another.

Yet the starlight’s power didn’t dissipate, but instead turned around and came back.

In this starry sky, the power of the starlight seemed inexhaustible, constantly gathering toward Ghost Eye.

As the starlight increased, becoming densely packed and uncountable, all sight seemed filled with endless starlight, and Ghost Eye couldn’t avoid it anymore, nor was there space to evade.

Luckily, it still had the Secret Law of the Emperor of No End, and amid the influence of the Emperor’s power, Ghost Eye carried Chen Guan through the vast expanse of starlight.

Those starlights seemed like illusions, unable to make contact with their bodies, passing directly through them.

However, no matter how Ghost Eye flew, all it saw was endless starlight, with no escape route in sight.

Chen Guan furrowed his brows, knowing Ghost Eye couldn’t hold on much longer and couldn’t continually use the Secret Law of the Emperor of No End.
