Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 120 - 116: Escape
Chapter 120: Chapter 116: Escape
"Damn it, to be possessed by a demon at this time?" Wang Xu was shocked and furious, dodging swiftly, his body transforming into a stream of light, shooting out violently.
Another arrow missed its mark, and Tuba shot another arrow.
Wang Xu’s form flickered rapidly, utilizing body techniques near the level of Will to evade quickly, his gaze firmly locked onto the Bronze Bow in the distance!
Swish!
Another arrow flew, but this time Wang Xu didn’t dodge. He was directly hit by the arrow, accelerating forward.
"Pfft!" Wang Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
This arrow didn’t kill Wang Xu. A faint yellow light emanated from him, as the Defensive Void Soldiers helped him block most of the force from the blow. Otherwise, with just Wang Xu’s body alone, he would have likely been pierced through by the arrow.
"Good, this is the chance!" Wang Xu intentionally took this arrow, using its impact to reach the Outer Heaven Meteorite, and with a wave of his hand, collected the Outer Heaven Meteorite and the Bronze Bow into the Space Ring.
Demon Tuba was stunned for a moment, then sneered with a grim face, saying in a hoarse voice, "You insignificant ant, how dare you touch the treasure I have my eyes on? Die!"
This time, Tuba didn’t immediately shoot his arrow. Instead, he crazily absorbed Cosmic Energy, aiming at Wang Xu.
Whoosh!
With a wave of Wang Xu’s hand, a delicately shaped Cosmic Battleship emerged abruptly.
This warship was a gift from the old dwarf as a token of gratitude, and also to serve as Wang Xu’s escape tool from Tuba.
The Cosmic Battleship’s speed was many times faster than Wang Xu’s, swiftly zooming out, its speed increasing incessantly.
"You cannot escape, even if you reach the ends of the earth, I will catch you!" Demon Tuba roared angrily, chasing furiously.
"Faster! Faster! Faster!" Sweat dripped from Wang Xu’s forehead as he urged frantically.
The speed of the Cosmic Battleship had reached its maximum, but regretfully, the ship was so antiquated that its Space-Time Jump System had failed. Otherwise, Wang Xu would have escaped long ago.
Swish!
An arrow came straight towards Wang Xu’s Cosmic Battleship, striking the main system’s exterior harshly.
The lights in the Central Control Room went out, plunged into darkness. In an instant, Wang Xu was hurled out of the Cosmic Battleship, abandoning it swiftly, flying rapidly towards the horizon.
In front of Black Hole Level Tuba, Wang Xu’s speed was simply inadequate, and in the blink of an eye, he was almost caught up.
However, Wang Xu’s gaze remained fixed on a particular spot in the sky.
The "door" connecting the Ice Crystal Realm and Earth!
This "door" was imperceptible to the naked eye, completely blending into the sky. The reason Wang Xu knew the whereabouts of the door was because he remembered the scene on the ground when he entered the Ice Crystal Realm.
Based on his current location, Wang Xu would soon reach the place where the "door" was!
Swish!
"Die!" Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Wang Xu, with a grim face, a body shrouded in black smoke, and cold, merciless eyes. Tuba, holding a silver-white lance, thrust a streak of light directly at Wang Xu!
"Hey!" Wang Xu shouted, his Spiritual Consciousness suddenly covering the area, his spiritual pressure turning into a sharp blade, stabbing straight at Tuba.
Tuba’s figure momentarily paused, the lance veering slightly, grazing past Wang Xu’s shoulder.
Even so, Wang Xu’s shoulder felt as if it had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer, nearly fracturing.
The Black Hole Level was too powerful. Even with the Void Warriors blocking most of the impact, the remaining force was enough to injure Wang Xu.
Wang Xu dared not hesitate, bursting forth with maximum speed.
"Damn, the Spiritual Consciousness of a Star Level Cosmic Spirit is so strong!" Back in the Luma tribe, Wang Xu had demonstrated his Spiritual Consciousness Attack techniques, and Tuba had already known that Wang Xu was a Cosmic Spirit.
But for a Star Level Cosmic Spirit, no matter how strong his talents were, his Spiritual Consciousness Attack shouldn’t be that strong. However, Wang Xu’s Spiritual Consciousness was beyond Tuba’s expectations, almost injuring his Spiritual Consciousness in a flurry.
"You have nowhere to escape!" As Wang Xu fled further away, the Spiritual Consciousness Attack gradually weakened. Tuba snorted coldly, continuing his pursuit.
There was a gap of two realms between the Black Hole Level and the Star Level. The fact that Wang Xu managed to hold on this long against Tuba was a miracle. However, the speed of the Black Hole Level was many times faster than his, and in less than a single breath, Tuba caught up again, thrusting the silver-white spear once more!
Wang Xu’s Spiritual Consciousness struck back, but Tuba was prepared, the impact greatly reduced. The spearhead was only slightly diverted, yet it still hit Wang Xu accurately.
"Pfft!" The terrifying force poured through the Defensive Void Soldiers, as if Wang Xu’s body had been struck by stars, flesh and bones nearly tearing apart, his internal organs violently shaking. Wang Xu couldn’t hold back, spurting out a large mouthful of blood.
His face pale, body heavily injured, Wang Xu endured the excruciating pain, his speed undiminished.
Tuba had become possessed by a demon, determined to kill him. In this life-and-death moment, Wang Xu dared not be even slightly negligent.
This pain was nothing compared to the pain he endured when cultivating Formless Giant Power.
"Let’s see how long you can keep up your spiritual consciousness attack!" Tuba relentlessly pursued, attacking Wang Xu once again.
Wang Xu’s face looked grim. Indeed, spiritual consciousness attacks consumed an immense amount of spiritual power. Though theoretically, he could perform such intense attacks a dozen times, in reality, he could only manage a few.
As his spiritual power dwindled, the attack power of his spiritual consciousness would decrease. Once his spiritual power was exhausted, Wang Xu would fall into a coma directly.
"Pfft!" Wang Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed momentarily before he soared into the sky.
Crack... crack...
The light of the Defensive Void Soldiers completely dimmed, turning into fragments that scattered in all directions. Wang Xu was now without any defenses.
"Haha... let’s see where you’ll hide this time, you lowly ant, just die!" Tuba laughed maniacally. A sliver of light blossomed on his silver-white spear as he thrust it towards Wang Xu.
No place to hide!
This strike contained the will of heaven and earth. Wang Xu’s body technique hadn’t reached the Will Level; he couldn’t evade this blow!
Watching the light beam hurtling toward him, Wang Xu’s face showed no despair or fear of impending death; instead, he appeared joyful.
"Pfft!" The beam of light shot through Wang Xu’s chest without suspense.
Tuba grinned evilly, reaching out to snatch Wang Xu’s space ring.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Wang Xu’s figure vanished.
Tuba’s hand grasped empty air, and he stood there, stunned.
"What’s... what’s going on!" Tuba’s eyes gradually turned from shock to anger, his face twisted and sinister.
Swoosh!
Tuba sprinted back and forth in the sky. To him, Wang Xu seemed to have disappeared through some door. If he entered that door too, he believed he could find Wang Xu and obtain the treasure in his possession.
However, after a while of searching, Tuba found nothing.
"Ah——" Tuba was utterly enraged. He drew the black bow, firing shot after shot, causing the ground to crack bit by bit. Dirt, stones, and splintered wood flew up, turning the surrounding hundred miles into a land riddled with craters.
"Damn it... damn it... damn it!!!" Tuba vented his frustration wildly, continuing to shuttle back and forth in the sky, yet he still couldn’t fathom how Wang Xu had vanished.
The treasure was gone, taken by that despicable Star Level!
Tuba burned with anger but was powerless.
After a while, the surrounding thousand miles lay leveled, the once lush mountain range nearly sheared away, bringing ruin to the tribes inhabiting the area.
Tuba slightly calmed the fury in his chest, as the black smoke slowly dissipated, and his eyes transformed to a normal black and white.
Tuba returned to his original appearance, but the fury and murderous intent remained in his eyes.
Whoosh!
Tuba’s figure turned into a streak of light, heading straight for Buque Ge’s corpse. With a flick of his spear, Buque Ge’s head flew, and with a palm strike, the head shattered into dust.
Afterward, Tuba carried Buque Ge’s body back to the Buqu clan.
The Buqu clan had already heard of the massive battle at the site of the Outer Heaven Meteorite and had long been waiting in the village. When they saw Tuba descending from the sky with Buque Ge’s body, shock turned to rage on their faces.
The kind-hearted Buqu people shed tears of sorrow, cursing the vile Ice Crystal Giant Beast clan.
"No, it wasn’t the Ice Crystal Giant Beasts." Tuba spoke sorrowfully.
"Then who was it?" the Buqu people asked.
"It was your so-called human friend. He wasn’t a Star Level; he was a Black Hole Level figure hiding his strength. He coveted the treasure within the Outer Heaven Meteorite, killed the Ice Crystal Giant Beast clan, killed Buque Ge, and even tried to kill me to keep it secret. I barely escaped." Tuba’s voice was grave, and the Buqu people were stunned, unable to believe it.
Soon, the Buqu people turned their vitriol against Wang Xu.
Amongst all the Buqu people, only the old dwarf knew the truth, for a sliver of black aura lingered on Buque Ge’s body.
His gaze was complicated as he looked at Tuba, letting out a deep sigh.
......
Whoosh!
Beneath the shattered Ice Crystal Abyss, a dark shadow leapt up, landing heavily on the ground.
"Celestial Spirit, teleport me back!" Wang Xu uttered his last words before he could hold on no more. Everything went black, and he fainted on the ground.
