Chapter 5694: Peak Duel (5)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Shi Kingdom, things didn’t seem to hold much value.

If Jian Wushuang had known, he might have felt utterly betrayed.

It all seemed unnecessarily complicated.

At this point, he was struggling to make sense of it all.

“Shi Jiu, pay attention. The Immortal Emperor possesses more than just divine power!” Jian Wushuang’s expression turned serious. As he spoke, his aura shifted drastically, becoming incredibly restrained.

Shi Jiu furrowed his brow, suddenly unable to sense Jian Wushuang’s presence.

A faint blue aura replaced the previous dark red power of the Beast God in an instant.

This aura was eternal.

It lingered within the Starry Sky, visible to all, yet wielded by none.

Because no one had ever noticed such a force.

The power of the Starry Sky.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes turned a pale blue.

Clasping his fists, he shouted, and even his hair turned blue, surrounded by arcs of pale blue lightning.

“Eternal Ancient Transformation!”

In an instant, Jian Wushuang transformed from the Emperor of divine power to the Emperor of spacetime.

The power of time, shrouded in mystery.

Within the confines of the barrier, all of time and space fell under Jian Wushuang’s control.

His transformation seemed devoid of any outward manifestation of power.

Yet, the sheer strength he exuded spoke volumes.

It was imperceptible.

Even the Empress couldn’t gauge Jian Wushuang’s true strength.

She only sensed the disappearance of his divine power, replaced by a mysterious force.

“Spacetime?” The Empress’s expression changed, marveling, “Related to the Universe Origin Source!”

Wu Li and Muchen were both Universe Masters, each with their own universe, and naturally recognized the connection between Jian Wushuang’s power and the Universe Origin Source.

“Haha, turning the tables! I knew he had more up his sleeve!” Wu Li exclaimed excitedly. “Watch, Shi Jiu is doomed to lose!”

This time, Muchen didn’t dare to be certain, merely asking out of curiosity, “Wushuang is just an Emperor, how could his aura resemble that of the Universe Origin Source?”

“Let’s not dwell on this. Who doesn’t have secrets? How else could one be so powerful?”

Muchen realized he had asked too much and decided not to press further.

He hoped Jian Wushuang could defeat Shi Jiu.

Although others noticed Jian Wushuang’s divine power fading, they didn’t discern much from it.

Not even Shi Jiu himself could perceive anything peculiar!

“Is this what you call power?” Shi Jiu asked uncertainly. “Your divine power seems unchanged!”

Jian Wushuang didn’t deny it, simply stating, “Divine power isn’t the only thing!”

“Then let me experience the power beyond divine power!” Shi Jiu’s confidence soared, brimming with combativeness.

Even the Crown Princess, standing outside the barrier, showed a look of surprise.

She had seen this faint blue aura before.

It was at Hundred Flowers Mountain.

The power emitted by that mysterious Five Tribulation realm expert.

The more she looked, the more it seemed like it.

But that mysterious expert practiced the Dao of the Sword.

Yet, there was no trace of Sword Intent on Jian Wushuang.

The Dao of the Sword and the Extreme Dao were distinct yet had a mutually merging state.

Jian Wushuang’s power was the power of the Starry Sky.

And the Dao of the Sword seemed more like a realm he cultivated with the power of the Starry Sky.

However, facing Shi Jiu, he didn’t need to resort to the Dao of the Sword at all.

The power to kill was too heavy; perhaps using the Sword Dao could instantly eliminate the opponent.

Just the Eternal Ancient Transformation was enough.

In the peak state, Jian Wushuang’s strength, converted into divine power, he didn’t know how strong it was.

But facing the Three Tribulation realm Universe Master, he had enough confidence.

That alone explained everything.

“Shi Jiu!”

Before the voice arrived, Jian Wushuang had already crossed his arms and appeared behind Shi Jiu.

This scene stunned everyone.

Even Elder Muchen couldn’t see Jian Wushuang’s speed clearly.

Only Wu Li vaguely grasped it.

The Empress on the throne wore an expression of disbelief.

It wasn’t that Jian Wushuang was exceptionally fast, but time seemed to slow down around everyone else.

Only the Empress was unaffected, allowing her to clearly witness Jian Wushuang’s tactics.

“Hmm?” Shi Jiu’s expression changed drastically as he sensed the void force behind him. Although he didn’t understand why Jian Wushuang suddenly appeared behind him, he still bravely launched an elbow strike.

Crack!

Jian Wushuang caught it with one hand, shaking his head. “Too weak,” he remarked.

Crunch!

With a slight squeeze of his hand, he crushed Shi Jiu’s arm.

With 200,000-fold divine powers at its peak, Jian Wushuang’s hand treated Shi Jiu’s arm like a mere ant.

In the Origin Source world, half of the universe illuminated, sparkling with boundless Origin Source power.

Once these powers entered the dark Starry Sky, they transformed into the power of the stars.

Jian Wushuang now was completely different from before.

Previously, he borrowed the power of the Starry Sky, but now he could gather it himself.

It was similar to mastering the power of All Things in the past.

Slowly becoming familiar with it.

However, the power of All Things now was more suitable for assisting.

The power of the Starry Sky was the strongest.

“Hah!” Jian Wushuang burst out, grabbing Shi Jiu’s neck with one hand and the shattered arm with the other, pulling forcefully.

Rip!

He tore the arm directly off.

An eye for an eye.

Shi Jiu’s face instantly turned pale, and his divine power became somewhat unstable.

He hadn’t expected to be easily overwhelmed by just a glance.

Was this the other power that Jian Wushuang had mentioned before?

It was too powerful.

He had never felt it even in the Tribulation Realm.

Outside the barrier, Princess Jincheng became worried when she saw Shi Jiu injured.

They were supposed to win.

But Jian Wushuang seemed like a completely different person now, his strength utterly incomprehensible and somewhat terrifying.

Even Wu Li couldn’t help but swallow hard.

The power before him exceeded his imagination.

His previous speculations had been somewhat conservative.

If he were to face Jian Wushuang now, he feared he wouldn’t stand much of a chance.

It was too terrifying.

His divine power seemed so feeble in the face of Jian Wushuang.

“You’ve lost!” Jian Wushuang didn’t press further, but with a single palm strike, he sent Shi Jiu flying a hundred feet away.

That last strike had pierced straight through Shi Jiu’s chest.

Even his silver battle armor had completely shattered.

Struggling to rise, Shi Jiu attempted to mimic Jian Wushuang’s posture to regenerate his arm, but then he realized abruptly that his current strength was entirely derived from forbidden techniques.

There was no surplus vitality left to replenish his physical body.

With only one arm remaining, Shi Jiu had no hope left.

His divine power couldn’t even be sustained at its peak anymore, and even at its peak, it was crushed by Jian Wushuang.

The current Jian Wushuang exuded overwhelming oppression.

Wrapped in a faint blue aura, arcs of blue lightning flickered around him.

Even his hair was blue.

Though his aura wasn’t sharp, the immense power made it impossible for his opponent to catch a breath; it was an absolute oppression, the purest form of suppression.
