This Is My Planet - Chapter 105 - Chapter 105 – Swooping Like A Shooting Star
The stalemate continued with Tai Qing intent locked in place. Shang Zhaoye felt somewhat nervous but still didn’t retreat. Holding her spear, she prepared to charge forward and whispered, “Divine Creator… Is there any way I can help?”
Xia Guixuan didn’t even turn his head. “Is the situation on your side under control?”
Shang Zhaoye replied, “The enemy is in disarray due to the mismatched information. Victory or defeat is already certain… I sensed the entanglement of your and the demon’s intent from afar and felt that perhaps the outcome of the battle might be here. Divine Creator, forgive me for leaving the battlefield without permission.”
Xia Guixuan nodded slightly. “You’re right. The outcome of the battle is indeed here.”
Shang Zhaoye cautiously stared at the dark demon, who was struggling to resist the suppression of the cauldron and unable to pay attention to this side. She sighed softly. “Divine Creator, have you already suppressed this demon? What is it, and why can it affect you?”
Xia Guixuan shook his head. “This is a dark demon formed by the self-aggregation of dark energy in the universe due to certain triggers. Such creatures are inherently at a high level of Wu Xiang, and conventional classifications don’t apply much to them. Many of these beings exist in the grand cosmos, the difference being whether they possess consciousness or not. They are usually not too troublesome to deal with. Suppressing it is easy for me… but the problem is, I can’t destroy it.”
Shang Zhaoye also noticed that Xia Guixuan was only suppressing the opponent with a magical treasure, without moving himself. It was obvious that he had many other means at his disposal, giving him the upper hand. But why wasn’t he using other methods?
As if understanding her confusion, Xia Guixuan explained, “This type of negative consciousness aggregation, if placed in a closed small world, can coexist with sentient beings. As long as there are living beings, it won’t be destroyed. Of course, in the vast universe, it’s not as exaggerated. As long as the power is sufficient, it’s still possible to disperse such consciousness, which is equivalent to annihilation. Unfortunately, my divine soul is damaged now and not strong enough, so I can only rely on the cauldron.”
Shang Zhaoye hesitated. “Does physical force not work?”
“Physical strength to a certain extent, of course, has significance. But without the support of a suitable magical treasure, it may not achieve the desired effect.” Xia Guixuan glanced into the distance, thinking of drawing a star over to compress it to create a starburst…. but he wasn’t sure if it would work. Mainly, such tactics couldn’t be used casually, as the battlefield wasn’t too far away, and there was a risk of causing accidental damage.
Shang Zhaoye didn’t know he could find another way. She only knew that the Divine Creator had shattered the Sovereign Sword in a fierce battle with someone back in the day, and having just emerged from seclusion recently, he probably didn’t have any suitable treasures to use besides his life-bound cauldron.
After a moment of hesitation, she whispered, “Divine Creator, is this demon the mastermind behind the invasion of Zerterians in the Azure Dragon Star?”
“The mastermind might not be, but this demon certainly has its influence in subsequent wars. Even some internal changes in your faction may have been influenced by it.” Xia Guixuan asked strangely, “Why are you asking this? Do you think confirming the enemy will make a difference?”
He almost said “Just relying on you?”
Shang Zhaoye’s face showed a hint of anger, and she whispered, “Divine Creator not only has bias towards me, but also repeatedly underestimates my strength.”
Xia Guixuan glanced at her. “Don’t be so sensitive. It’s neither bias nor discrimination, nor that I’m stubbornly refusing help. It’s just that your strength is indeed insufficient to pose a threat to it.”
Shang Zhaoye sternly said, “I am a horse.”
Xia Guixuan: “?”
“Beyond my own strength, my greater value lies in augmentation.” Shang Zhaoye didn’t look at him, staring ahead with a stern face, “Ride me.”
Xia Guixuan: “???”
Shang Zhaoye took a deep breath. “This isn’t a conventional acceleration boost, but a result of my innate talent. At a low level, it allows someone to perform at their peak; at a high level, it provides enhancement and amplification… If you are injured and unable to exert your full strength, riding me will allow you to.”
“…” Xia Guixuan instinctively assessed her body.
Her horse body… it wasn’t really a horse body, it was clearly a well-built female body, with human legs covered in armor, making her look like a warhorse. But in reality… it was just a woman’s waist.
Such a slender waist, so well-shaped… uh.
Riding on it? Even knowing it wouldn’t break, it still felt very awkward…
“Bang!”
Xia Guixuan snapped out of his trance, only to find that in the blink of an eye, the shadow of the cauldron had been pushed up by the dark demon several miles, and it was about to break free.
Shang Zhaoye turned to look at him. There was a hint of mockery in her beautiful eyes.
What? Mocking me?
I was considering your safety, and you actually thought I wouldn’t dare to ride?
Xia Guixuan didn’t hesitate and immediately mounted up.
Sitting on the “horse’s” back? With no place to hold onto, he subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist. It felt almost the same as when he was riding on Xiao Jiu’s motorbike before… but this riding sensation… what motorbike could compare?
He could feel Shang Zhaoye stiffen for a moment, then quickly relax and silently charge towards the dark demon.
Xia Guixuan also brought his attention back and quickly sensed something special.
This “island” was quite large, like a continent. They were actually quite far from the dark demon, but because its tentacles spread out, it looked like they were nearby. However, they were not face-to-face, and even the nearest tentacle was thousands of miles away.
As Shang Zhaoye charged forward, she initially moved at an ordinary horse’s speed, but then she got faster and faster, as swift as lightning.
During this process, an indescribable force merged with his own, resonating and mobilizing his internal power. With each stride, his power climbed, reaching its peak.
Initially, his injured divine soul had caused a chain reaction, preventing him from reaching his full strength. But now, this gap was completely filled.
Xia Guixuan could feel his peak strength, the most powerful spiritual energy, and the most perfect divine soul, filling his body and overflowing his upper dantian.
So, who needed treasures?
Xia Guixuan took out the hilt of the Sovereign Sword.
Sword qi roared out, instantly filling the space.
Both of them were surrounded by a brilliant light, as bright as stars, illuminating the vast universe.
In the eyes of the dark demon, it was like a falling star, dragging a long tail of light, shooting towards its crimson pupils, and exploding with a loud bang.
Time seemed to stand still, the scene almost eternal.
Eternity began to crack, like a picture frame breaking, then shattering into dust.
The octopus-like creature disintegrated.
In its disintegration, a terrifying and unparalleled mental shockwave and soul-shattering scream erupted, spreading throughout the cosmic void. Ghosts wailed, time howled, and the vast void turned into crimson eyes, eerie and frightening.
The Yu King Cauldron unfolded a gentle shield, enveloping the space, covering all spiritual fluctuations, not letting even the slightest ripple escape.
Shang Zhaoye, who was nearby, was thoroughly protected by the gentle light from the cauldron. The expected backlash of Wu Xiang clashing with Tai Qing did not occur. It felt as though they had just poked a slime to death, without any sensation.
Only the vengeful scream echoing in their sea of consciousness proved that they had indeed killed a terrifying evil demon—
“Xia Guixuan, in your current state, you dare not venture into the shattered space to destroy my true body. When I lurk and emerge again, I will surely annihilate you and your so-called descendants… Pfft…”
Xia Guixuan clenched his hand, and the final echo of the vengeful scream vanished, as if it had never happened.
Even the most fragile “island” was still intact, not even a piece of soil was broken.
The remaining energy swept through like a wind, lifting sand and stones from the ground, whistling, then floating weightlessly into the void, swirling like nebulae.
In the nebula, Shang Zhaoye stood silently holding her spear, while Xia Guixuan remained seated above her, like a painting of a knight who had just won a duel. The only difference was that the mount was…
“Are you done riding, father god?” Shang Zhaoye calmly broke the silence, “This reluctance to come down, are you planning to keep me as your mount from now on, or perhaps… considering something more intimate?”
