The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 475: Battle Star Officer

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Battle Star Officer

At the top of the thick fog, a shadowy figure materialized, with his face vaguely visible: a burly figure with a face full of scars and aggressive eyes—it was the Eight Star Officer who had previously executed the Divine Descent Technique.

His silhouette grew more solid, and his aura surged wildly.

"Go on, finish him in one go!" Qin Jun said to Yang Jian at his side.

"No rush, let’s wait until he’s back to full strength before making our move," Yang Jian said with a teasing smile, leaving Qin Jun speechless.

You’ve got the attitude of a death-seeking antagonist!

Yang Jian looked loftily at the Eight Star Officer, as if he had already sealed the officer’s fate, which made Qin Jun feel uneasy.

As the Five-headed Flood Dragon perished, the dense fog also began to slowly dissipate.

Inside the Heavenly Palace of Observation, the Eight Star Officer stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let me make the first move!"

Without heeding the opinion of the Great Star Officer, he vanished from the spot, unable to bear Yang Jian’s scornful insult. How could he tolerate it?

Moreover, only by getting rid of Yang Jian would they be able to eliminate Qin Jun and possess the Wheel of Fate.

The Great Star Officer did not speak, remaining silent all the while, but his silence clearly communicated approval.

At first, they all had various concerns, but now, in their struggle to seize the Wheel of Fate, they had lost all sense of reason, even to the point of madness!

After the fog cleared, Jin Chanzi and the others flew over quickly, excitedly looking at Qin Jun.

They had all felt the surge in Qin Jun’s aura and naturally understood that Qin Jun must have gained a tremendous advantage, his strength skyrocketing.

Although envious, the stronger Qin Jun became, the safer they were.

They also noticed the figure of the Eight Star Officer, but with Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi there, they weren’t afraid at all.

"Aren’t you striking yet?" Jin Chanzi asked with a frown. The Eight Star Officer’s aura was already stronger than his, and if it continued like this, if even Yang Jian were to lose, that would be troublesome.

Yang Jian sneered and did not reply, looking at the Eight Star Officer as if he were staring at a dead man.

Whoosh—

A bright light fell from the stars, striking the Eight Star Officer’s shadowy figure at an inconceivable speed. With a loud boom, a formidable momentum radiated in all directions, forcing Qin Jun to quickly raise his right arm to block it.

The other geniuses from the Southern Domain were even more overwhelmed, blown about in midair.

One could see the Eight Star Officer had fully solidified, no longer shadowy, his entire person exuding an aloof temperament that seemed to disdain all beings. He looked down at Yang Jian, his eyes no longer showing ferociousness but scorn.

"You are strong, but you are also foolish!"

The Eight Star Officer said quietly, having seen too many arrogant fools like Yang Jian, all of whom had met with dire ends.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched at these words, thinking that such lines were also a certain death sentence for villains!

Both men were seeking death, and it was unclear who would die first...

Yang Jian slowly raised his Three-Pronged War God Halberd without another word and flew straight towards the Eight Star Officer. Seeing this, Jin Chanzi hurriedly said to Qin Jun, "Your Majesty, let’s retreat first. Their cultivation is too strong; we can easily get injured by mistake!"

Even Jin Chanzi, at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, was cautious, let alone Qin Jun and the other minor figures of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Without hesitation, Qin Jun turned and flew away.

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Palace of Observation, the seventeen Star Officers watched the scene within the globe of light with intense nerves.

The Eight Star Officer’s strength was ranked slightly above the middle among the eighteen Star Officers, making him a suitable measure of Yang Jian’s capabilities.

"If the Eight Star Officer loses, then we must call upon the Star Officers above the rank of five to take action," Seven Star Officer Yao Xu said with a smile, as though he was discussing something insignificant. However, the top five ranking Star Officers frowned upon hearing this.

Them taking action would be equivalent to breaking the rules of the Heavenly Convention, leaving a lifelong stain on their record, and they could even risk their lives. Naturally, they were reluctant.

But for the sake of the Wheel of Fate, none of them made a clear statement of refusal.

Human greed knows no bounds.

If this matter were to be exposed, they would face irredeemable calamity.

The Eight Star Officer also sprang into action, charging towards Yang Jian. In an instant, Yang Jian suddenly accelerated like a meteorite hitting the earth, and the two of them collided rapidly, creating an intense light and magic power that caused a tumultuous windstorm in all directions.

Even though they were already a kilometer away, Qin Jun and the others were blown off course.

Even Jin Chanzi couldn’t help but turn back in shock, seeing that Yang Jian and the Eight Star Officer were moving so fast that even he could barely catch a glimpse, each collision sending shockwaves that shook him to the core.

"Is this the power of the Scattered Immortal Realm in the Tai Yi stage?"

Jin Chanzi mumbled to himself. As a disciple under Tathāgata, he had an understanding of both the Tai Yi Scattered Immortal Realm and the Tai Yi Mysterious Immortal Realm.

By his estimation, both Yang Jian and the Eight Star Officer had reached the late stages of the Tai Yi Scattered Immortal Realm!

Yang Jian sneered as he wielded the Three-Pronged War God Halberd, catching the Eight Star Officer off guard.

Since the two moved so swiftly, Jin Chanzi and the others thought they were evenly matched. In reality, however, Yang Jian was utterly overpowering the Eight Star Officer.

The struggling Eight Star Officer hastily took out a cyan-colored jade fan to face off with the Three-Pronged War God Halberd, shockingly remaining intact even in a direct hit.

"What good is a powerful artifact!"

Yang Jian sneered, increasing his strength in attack. With a loud thud, the Eight Star Officer felt his hands go numb and his body plummet toward the ground.

Pressing his advantage, Yang Jian pursued the victory, crashing down like two meteorites, lifting up clouds of dust and debris from the ground, shattering it, churning the soil, as if an apocalypse had arrived, frightening Qin Jun and the others who had already fled three kilometers away to make an even swifter escape.

When gods clash, mortals don’t even have the privilege to watch.

Qin Jun sighed internally, wishing he could observe and learn from the battle, but he was unable to see clearly, and his Divine Consciousness was torn to pieces by the oppressive might of Yang Jian and the Eight Star Officer.

At the same time, inside the Heavenly Palace of Observation, there was dead silence.

Everyone’s expressions were grim, not expecting Yang Jian to be this strong, leaving the Eight Star Officer with no chance to fight back.

"This person possesses the complete cultivation of the Tai Yi Scattered Immortal Realm!" the Great Star Officer declared solemnly.

Hearing this, many Star Officers gasped, appreciating that such cultivation surpassed that of half their ranks!

The Scattered Immortal Realm progression—early, middle, late, and complete stages—each small stage gapped as vastly as the disparity between the major realms. The Eight Star Officer also had the complete cultivation of the Tai Yi Scattered Immortal Realm, but his Divine Power and cultivation method were inferior to Yang Jian’s.

The battle had become utterly one-sided.

Amidst the whirling dust, Yang Jian held up the Three-Pronged War God Halberd with one hand while stepping firmly on the Eight Star Officer with his right foot, pinning him down. The surrounding dust rolled like long dragons in turbulence.

"Now you know who’s the foolish one!"

Yang Jian’s gaze was icy as he looked down at the Eight Star Officer, his foot pressing slightly harder, causing the ground beneath the Eight Star Officer to suddenly collapse, the surrounding ruins sinking by several decimeters.

The Eight Star Officer gritted his teeth with eyes full of bloodshot rage, the murderous intent within seemingly wishing to tear Yang Jian to shreds.

"Dream on killing me! You’re still too green!"

The Eight Star Officer roared, and in that moment, he crushed the jade fan in his hand. Simultaneously, the Three-Pronged War God Halberd of Yang Jian also came crashing down.

With a loud boom!

A burst of blue light emerged, engulfing the Eight Star Officer’s form and causing Yang Jian to involuntarily close his eyes.
