This Is My Planet - Chapter 135 - Chapter 135 – Final Stage
Liu Zhiyuan’s illusion demon gritted its teeth skyward. “Gongsun Jiu, you’re indeed not in the Donglin Domain!”
Gongsun Jiu’s voice calmly responded, “Likewise, the Head of State isn’t on his way to congratulate the troops either.”
Between the question and answer, countless rays of light converged from all directions in the sky, focusing on the massive Tai Chi projection above the Head of State’s residence.
Tai Chi represents opposing energies, but it’s unclear how it’s understood within the systems of these myriad illusion demons.
In Xia Guixuan’s Daoist system, it represents Yin and Yang.
In human philosophy, it’s contradiction and unity.
In terms of technology, it’s positive and negative ions, light and dark energy… It’s decomposable and reducible.
Matter can be decomposed, the human body can be decomposed, and energy can also be decomposed.
If trapped within the formation, they wouldn’t be able to function properly; even Xiao Jiu would need to learn how to break the formation. But when faced with a fixed formation structure from the outside, it becomes nothing more than a target.
The only question was, did the galactic warship have the ability to decompose Tai Qing-level energy?
Originally, perhaps not quite, as the galactic warship hadn’t developed to such a level of power.
But if the former owner of the formation’s core components—the Shadow Condensation Bead and the Jiuhua Mirror—personally provided scientists with detailed analysis and simulation of the formation’s entire structure, then it would indeed be enough.
In an instant, the formation began to crumble. The Yin-Yang reinforcement that the two illusion demons had been giving each other started to dissipate. Their combined power, which had rivaled Tai Qing, was no more, and they were forced back into fighting individually as Wu Xiang peak cultivators.
“How is this possible!” Liu Zhiyuan exclaimed, then immediately commanded, “Stop the rays!”
Two massive spheres of energy, one black and one white, shot toward the sky like twin suns, following intricate arcs as they approached the galactic fleet in the void.
It was clear that the black and white spheres would converge before the warships and unleash stellar-level explosive energy. Even if they couldn’t destroy the fleet, they would at least force it to shift its attack mode, preventing further disintegration rays.
At the same time, Xia Guixuan’s presence couldn’t be ignored. Almost simultaneously, another spiral of light shot out from the formation’s core, heading straight for him.
But weakened energy is still weakened energy.
Just as the black and white spheres left the sky, a large cauldron appeared before them, enveloping both spheres inside. It then began to spin and refine them, and soon, the black and white spheres vanished, leaving only a wisp of smoke drifting out of the cauldron.
Xia Guixuan’s life-bound treasure, the Yu King Cauldron.
With a casual gesture, Xia Guixuan tossed out a flying sword, its glow flickering as it shot toward the spiral of light approaching him.
His newly refined artifact, the Sovereign Sword.
With a loud “boom,” the distant ground trembled, and the galactic fleet actually drifted back several dozen kilometers.
This was the three strikes of Tai Qing, resisted by Xia Guixuan alone.
Through the smoke, his figure emerged, like a demon god stepping out of the mist.
“They’re responsible for breaking the formation; I’m responsible for dealing with you.” Xia Guixuan clapped his hands, with the cauldron and sword orbiting around him. “If you have any more tricks, you’d better use them now while the formation’s still holding. You might actually stand a chance against me. Wait any longer, and as the formation weakens further, you might as well prepare to take your own life.”
Liu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, his expression extremely grave. “Since you’ve used your life-bound treasure, you must know that you were in serious danger just now. Even if you didn’t fall, you could have been gravely injured, right?”
Xia Guixuan chuckled. “You’re right… but I blocked it, and I’m unscathed. There’s no shame in borrowing the cooperation of human warships. Claiming I was at risk, does that prove you’ve won?”
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head. “I just want to tell you, even when opposing us, you still have to rely on human help. And within the Myriad Illusory Realm, we’re just ordinary illusion demons. Since you know the name of the Myriad Illusory Realm, must you really fight us to the death? Moreover, you should know that we’re merely exploiting the greed and insatiable desires of this planet’s life forms, no different from the Demon King’s attempt to lure humanity with the promise of immortality.”
Xia Guixuan smiled. “Fighting is fighting. But is it the same when my children fight among themselves and when someone else slaps them?”
Liu Zhiyuan: “…”
Xia Guixuan calmly added, “As for your Myriad Illusory Realm… we can talk about it after you find a way to break through the barrier between dimensions… Doesn’t it frustrate you? The Needle of Time and the Prism of Space were hidden by the Fox King, and even after killing her, you couldn’t find them? Otherwise, you’d not only be able to accelerate your breakthrough here, but this formation would also become even more troublesome, and the human rays would struggle to bypass the shifting of time.”
Liu Zhiyuan sneered but remained silent.
Xia Guixuan smiled, “Are you itching to say that you know where the Needle of Time and the Prism of Space are hidden? Isn’t it that they were thrown into the cosmic void and ended up in the hands of Zelt’s demon god… You colluded with it, hoping it would invade the Xia capital, only to kill it after and take its treasures? And now you’re frustrated that we disrupted your plans, right?”
Liu Zhiyuan’s expression finally changed slightly.
“What’s wrong? Are you confused? You predicted that the Divine Creator would participate in this battle, and you even conspired with that Dark Demon, telling it that you would hold me back and let it secretly pass through the Prism of Space to teleport here, with another divine descendant elder providing support… So why has no one shown up yet?” Xia Guixuan sighed. “You are talking nonsense and even ignoring the disintegrating formation. Isn’t it just to delay time…”
Liu Zhiyuan exclaimed, “How did you know!”
“When I went to investigate Shang Zhaoye, I discovered that the origin of the Shadow Condensation Bead was the birthplace of that three-headed hound, but it ended up in Xia capital… I knew that the reason why there has always been conflict within the divine descendants is because there have long been parasites among them. Isn’t it obvious once you investigate?” Xia Guixuan sneered, “Why do you think I was late when you were dealing with Yan Wuyue?”
In the most chaotic part of the dimensional space, where the Needle of Time and Prism of Space were originally placed, Shang Zhaoye and Hun Yuan were locked in a fierce battle with the Dark Demon, keeping it firmly outside the spatial rift.
Behind them was the corpse of another Wu Xiang divine descendant, long dead, with its nascent soul already taken by Xia Guixuan.
Xia Guixuan’s sneer grew colder. “You’re upset about the Demon King scattering things around… But I’m even angrier… Because these are my things, and you’re not done yet!”
By the end of his words, his tone became severe, as if a great bell was ringing in the illusion demons’ ears, creating a colossal wave in their spiritual sea, as if a piece of their soul was missing and the entire world had lost its sound.
While the opponent’s delay was to buy time for reinforcements, Xia Guixuan’s delay was to let the battleship’s rays continue to dissolve the formation. At this moment, Xia Guixuan finally lost interest in the slow and leisurely “solving of the case” with the other side and launched a deadly blow.
In a battle of Tai Qing, there was actually very little use of techniques and physical force. The previous Azure Dragon punch was more about venting frustration, and actual fighting didn’t require throwing punches.
The soul attack was the most direct, and the clash of laws was the most ruthless.
Under the Heavenly Dao of the Azure Dragon Star, the Law of Sound prevailed. To endure was to endure, and to falter was to falter.
With a shout, both illusion demons began to bleed from their seven orifices, their appearances terrifying beyond measure.
In reality… they were never Wu Xiang. They had always relied on the formation and didn’t even dare to leave its range. When the formation was broken, how could they withstand Xia Guixuan?
“You’re so weak, yet you’ve toyed with the divine descendants and humans for so many years… I’m a bit disappointed in this bunch of kids…” Xia Guixuan shook his head and looked up at the battleships, suddenly smiling again. “But at least there’s Gongsun Jiu… Even if I didn’t participate, you might not have won against Gongsun Jiu. After all, you’re just a minor parasitic influence, unable to come in person, only capable of playing tricks and borrowing treasures from me… It’s a joke in front of the warships.”
He sighed again. “You thought you’d launched a comprehensive attack on Gongsun Jiu, but didn’t consider that he might have been planning a thunderous coup, with the battleships already at your doorstep. You’re still leisurely framing him with political maneuvers… When your evil nature is exposed, the previously hesitant military morale will have no doubts, and he might indeed replace Xia with a single blow, though it will come at a heavy cost.”
Liu Zhiyuan struggled, spitting blood, and weakly said, “I truly didn’t know how he evaded the Marshal’s army, or how he used some excuse to mobilize the galactic fleet to ambush me here… Perhaps there were indeed some special plans behind it… But without your help, he might not have even conceived such ideas and would have been passively involved in our political struggles, ultimately losing.”
Xia Guixuan smiled, “Perhaps.”
Liu Zhiyuan’s eyes glinted with malice. “Do you know, he now stands as the ruler of the Great Xia and wouldn’t tolerate a god overshadowing him. His next target… is you.”
Xia Guixuan looked up at the sky. “Is that so… actually… it doesn’t matter.”
