Chapter 744: 744
An attack consisting of weapons materialized from common energies of metal? Wu Qi was not afraid of such things .
The Black Nine Nether Ghost Flame rose into the sky while emanating a biting cold air as the evil and filthy ghost flame transformed into nine black dragons, twisting and slithering behind his back . Countless weapons that came shooting at him were caught by the flame and instantly shattered into pieces .
But, the biggest threat was Bai Zhu . The burly man opened his mouth and drew in a breath, causing all the energies of metal within a thousand miles around him to immediately rush into his mouth in a massive stream . As that happened, a blinding silver light exploded out of his body, amidst which came shooting out countless sharp needles . As he was swooping toward Wu Qi, these needles pierced through the void, leaving behind countless fine, black traces in the air .
His punch was going straight for Wu Qi's face like a shooting star . A silver gleam could be seen flashing and flickering rapidly atop his fist, which felt as hot as a raging flame and was sending forth a dangerous aura . Wherever the silver gleam past, the void was ripped like parchment; and when the fist was still about dozens of feet away from Wu Qi's face, the strong cold wind it brought forth had already left tiny cuts on his face .
Wu Qi took a deep breath and gave Bai Zhu a mysterious smile . All of a sudden, a black beam of light shot out from the top of his head; amidst which, his Dark Yin Celestial Tower was expanding quickly, from the size of a fist to dozens of feet in height . Then, streams of silver starlight began to pour down from its edges, twisting and tangling with one another in the air like auroras while smearing the void with a breathtaking colorful glow .
Bai Zhu's removal of all the natural energies save for the energy of metal within a thousand miles around them had seriously affected Wu Qi . However, there was one energy that he could not get rid of—the power of stars that showered on the entire Pangu Continent from the sky above . It existed all the time even when it was broad daylight, filling every inch of the void .
The Dark Yin Celestial Tower was covered with a layer of about a foot thick silver light while numerous silver torrents visible to the naked eyes poured down from the sky, rushing into the tower . With the mysterious smile on his face, Wu Qi pointed a finger at his precious treasure . With that, the velocity of time in the surroundings abruptly increased by a hundred folds .
The sudden change in the velocity of time caused Bai Zhu to lose control of his own body . He was deviated from his original course, and his punch narrowly missed Wu Qi's face . At the same time, the shadow of a three-headed wolf silently made its appearance behind Wu Qi's back . With a soft incantation, the enormous power of stars the Dark Yin Celestial Tower had absorbed poured into the wolf's body, making it quickly expand from the size of a fist to about a hundred feet long .
Three forlorn wolf howls rang out . Wu Qi gave the wolf a slap on the neck and pointed a finger at Bai Zhu . Without hesitation, the wolf leaped toward Bai Zhu along with a gust of wind, its three mouths wide opened and going for his neck, back, and waist .
A strong white light shivered around Bai Zhu's body as he exerted his divine power, allowing him to barely counter some of the effects the acceleration of time had caused on him . Then, as he lifted his right fist and thrust it toward the wolf, he gave a derisive laugh and said, "Do you really think you can hurt me with this little trick of borrowing the power of the stars? I might flinch if you were some Celestial Lord of the Heaven who had mastered the essence of a star, but too bad you are not…Awoooo!"
Bai Zhu shrieked miserably before he could finish his words . Right when the three-headed wolf was about to be hit by his fist, it suddenly dissolved into a thick plume of smoke, then reappeared right behind him . His neck, the small of his back, and the softest part on his waist were bitten at the same time . Silvery white blood spurted out of the wounds and splattered in all directions as the wolf shook its heads savagely, ripping Bai Zhu's flesh with all its might .
A strange poison was seeping into Bai Zhu's body through the wolf's fangs, quickly turning the skin and flesh around the wounds purple-black . As the descendant of the white tiger, one of the four holy beasts, Bai Zhu had a very strong fleshly body . Few poisons under the heaven could harm him . But, the poison in the three-headed wolf was evolved from an innate Great Dao that was yet to be seen by anyone, a poison that even Bai Zhu's ancestors had never encountered before . So naturally, his fleshly body could not withstand such a peculiar poison .
A deafening tiger's roar echoed through the sky and blood splattered in all directions like a heavy downpour as Bai Zhu wrenched himself free from the wolf's ferocious mouths, sacrificing dozens of kilograms of his own flesh . Bringing with him three severely mangled wounds that exposed his bones, he hastily scrambled backward and went before a woman, who also had the obvious appearance of the white tiger and a frame that was only one size smaller than his . "Mother of my son, quickly find me an antidote!" he growled . "What a brutal and weird magic! Which star's power did he borrow?"
Wu Qi only smiled, not thinking he was obliged to solve the puzzle for Bai Zhu .
The different powers of star controlled by the various Celestial Lords of the Heaven had been thoroughly studied by all the cultivators . Even the information about what weapons these Celestial Lords used and what their favorite foods were had been widely circulated among them . But, the star power Wu Qi used did not belong to any of the Celestial Lords who were known to the public today, and was a brand new star power essence from the Kaleidoscopic Star Core .
'No matter how hard you crack your brain, you'll never guess that I actually found myself a Kaleidoscopic Star Core, and even evolved an innate galaxy in my interstitial world!'
