Chapter 894: The Bejeweled Star Lord
Right before the image vanished, Tang Jie had seen that person\'s face.
The Bejeweled Star Lord!
Was that man the Bejeweled Star Lord\'s reincarnation?
But it didn\'t seem like a reincarnation.
With the Dao of Reincarnation, one had to cultivate from the beginning with each incarnation, just like the Black Tortoise Cang Qingfeng. So how could the Bejeweled Star Lord be so powerful the moment he appeared?
Tang Jie could make no sense of it.
But before he even had time to think about the problem, he felt an immense pressure roaring up behind him.
"This is…" Sensing the pressure, Huang Wuji turned around in shock.Tang Jie shouted, "Run!"
"What?" Huang Wuji said in confusion.
And then he saw Tang Jie shoot away.
At the same time, a majestic voice resounded through the world. "Audacious thief, intruding into the Immortal Emperor\'s mausoleum? Since you have already come in, this lord will have you stay."
A giant hand emerged on the horizon, reaching for the two.
"A True Immortal!" The vast energy radiating from this hand immediately informed Huang Wuji of the level of its owner. So pure and majestic was this energy that even among True Immortals, this had to be a terrifying existence.
How had such a powerful existence so suddenly appeared in the Immortal Emperor\'s tomb? Huang Wuji was baffled.
Tang Jie shouted again, "Hurry and run!"
As he spoke, he put Xu Miaoran and Yiyi into the Mountain River State Diagram and flew off like a bolt of lightning. Huang Wuji finally came around and began to run after Tang Jie.
The giant hand pursued the pair. It moved much faster than the two, drawing closer and closer.
Huang Wuji saw this and swung the ruler. The jade ruler flashed with the light of a Dao Art as Huang Wuji put all his energy into this attack.
"Hmph, trying to attack this lord with a treasure!?"
The full strength of a pseudo–Dao armament earned only a snort of contempt from that voice in the distance.
The giant hand simply pointed at the pseudo–Dao armament, and the light upon it dissipated. Not only that, the jade ruler broke free of Huang Wuji\'s grip and flew toward the hand. Aghast, Huang Wuji lunged out and grabbed the ruler, trying to prevent its escape.
After all, this was still a Dao armament, and Huang Wuji could not possibly let it go so easily.
The giant hand swatted at Huang Wuji.
Unable to dodge in time, he raised up countless barriers around himself, but as the palm struck, the barriers all shattered, and Huang Wuji was sent flying while throwing up blood.
Huang Wuji was a peak Earth Immortal, yet this one strike from the hand had left him heavily injured, much to Tang Jie\'s consternation.
The giant hand reached out again, and, sensing trouble, Tang Jie threw out two divine treasures. Just when they were about to explode, the hand waved at them, upon which the divine treasures were fixed in the air. With another wave, the hand collected those two divine treasures.
Tang Jie\'s soul almost left his body. He had already guessed that this was the Bejeweled Star Lord, and he probably had a divine ability to counter treasures, but he hadn\'t expected him to even be able to stop the detonation of divine treasures.
As the hand reached out again, Tang Jie could only use Nearby Horizon to flee.
The Bejeweled Star Lord gasped in surprise.
At the same time, Huang Wuji attacked with all his strength, a majestic river issuing from his hands, blocking the hand\'s path.
But a moment later, the hand transformed into a roaring dragon, savagely rushing forward and pushing through the river.
Just when it seemed like the pair were about to be caught, Tang Jie suddenly took on the form of a giant, and a golden halberd formed in his hands.
"This is the Bejeweled Star Lord! Don\'t use any kind of treasure in front of him!" Huang Wuji shouted, clearly having realized who their pursuer was.
But Tang Jie swung the halberd as if he hadn\'t heard this warning.
Shockingly, the golden halberd tore through the air, chopping into the dragon\'s head. With a furious howl, the dragon shattered, turning back into a giant hand, but it had been sliced in two, blazing golden blood falling from the wound.
"The Sovereign Blade!" the Bejeweled Star Lord roared in disbelief, fear in his voice.
"It\'s good that you know!" Tang Jie shouted, the halberd turning into a mallet that he swung at the hand. The giant hand retreated almost as quickly as it had come.
Huang Wuji was stunned by this sight.
But Tang Jie didn\'t give chase, turning to Huang Wuji and shouting, "Let\'s go!"
He flew toward the tomb\'s exit.
Huang Wuji came to his senses and flew after him, asking, "What is this weapon, that it can be immune to the Bejeweled Star Lord?"
Tang Jie replied, "There are many treasures that are unaffected by the Bejeweled Star Lord. Do you really think he can control all of them? With that ability, he could go fishing in the Lustrous Treasure River for Dao armaments. He can\'t even compare to Reverend Celestial Hook, yet he dares to make such boasts? Hah! At best, he can influence divine treasures, not even being able to influence Dao armaments, or else he would have seized that jade ruler of yours already."
Huang Wuji was dizzied by his words. Unable to find a reply, he focused on running, the exit now coming into view in the distance.
At this moment, there was a gust of wind and a wave of pressure from behind them. This time, the Bejeweled Star Lord had come personally.
"Still coming?" Tang Jie cursed, but he knew that the Bejeweled Star Lord had definitely noticed something wrong.
Sure enough, as the Bejeweled Star Lord\'s imposing face appeared, there was no trace of fear upon it. He laughed, "I didn\'t think that after ten thousand years of hibernation, the moment I emerged, I would run into Li Jiuyang\'s successor. Fortunately, you have only the form and not the spirit. But since the Sovereign Blade has reemerged, I cannot let you live, so hurry up and die!"
He reached out to grab Tang Jie.
Tang Jie froze in front of the hand as if he had been scared out of his wits.
Huang Wuji frantically said, "Young Brother, dodge!"
He didn\'t understand why Tang Jie didn\'t dodge despite having Nearby Horizon, and since the Bejeweled Star Lord dared to attack, he clearly had the means to deal with that Sovereign Blade.
As that giant hand descended and Tang Jie still seemed to be scared stiff, Huang Wuji clenched his teeth and charged forward, the jade ruler in his hand shining. As he moved to face the hand of the True Immortal with all the power he could muster, he inwardly grumbled, I haven\'t even known this guy for that long, so why am I risking my life for him?
But as the palm descended, an object suddenly appeared over Tang Jie\'s head.
It was a flat-topped crown with numerous Dao Runes etched into its surface, its dazzling light profound and mysterious such that one glance could leave one dizzy.
It was impossible to fathom or understand, yet majestic enough to shake the soul.
Tang Jie bathed under its golden light.
The Star Lord\'s giant hand struck Tang Jie, but there was no effect, as if it had slammed into an impenetrable wall.
At the same moment, a voice called out, "Since you have been gone for ten thousand years, why did you return? This world is no longer yours, so the old can take their leave!"
Another hand appeared in the air.
The Bejeweled Star Lord\'s hand was fierce and tyrannical, bursting with destructive power, while this hand was like the clouds frolicking in the winds, the froth of the ocean waves, flitting onto the scene and gently pressing against the Bejeweled Star Lord\'s chest.
As the palm pushed forward, the fabric of space in front of the Bejeweled Star Lord began to collapse, the palm pushing through layer after layer of Space power. The Bejeweled Star Lord\'s body flashed with layers of resplendent light as he attempted to stop the palm from getting closer, and the owner of this palm seemed to slowly reach their limit.
Tang Jie\'s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. "Even if I only have the form, I can slay an Immortal to prove my Dao!"
He once more turned into a thousand-foot-tall giant, while the Sovereign Blade turned back into its original form, appearing like a dagger in his hand. With a shake of his hand, Tang Jie had the Sovereign Blade thin and lengthen into a long metal bar.
Tang Jie thrust the metal bar forward. "Break!"
All of his power, intelligence, and knowledge was focused onto this thrust, penetrating through all the numerous spatial barriers the Bejeweled Star Lord had placed in front of him.
The graceful hand thrust forward, glowing with a crystalline light and striking the Star Lord\'s chest.
"AAAAH!" the Bejeweled Star Lord screamed, throwing up blood, his body instantly vanishing into the distance. This palm had slapped him all the way back to the village.
The figure of Yun Tianlan appeared in the air.
"Hurry!" Yun Tianlan roared.
He grabbed them, one to each hand, and retreated to the exit.
"Thank you for the rescue, Martial Ancestor," Tang Jie said.
The moment he had run into danger, he had used Heart Consonance to contact Yun Tianlan, and he had managed to last until the man himself had arrived.
To his surprise, Yun Tianlan grunted, his face momentarily flashing red.
"Martial Ancestor, are you injured?" Tang Jie said in alarm.
Yun Tianlan indifferently replied, "A minor wound, nothing major. The Bejeweled Star Lord is truly a Titan of High Antiquity."
Although they were both True Immortals, one was a True Immortal who had been slumbering for ten thousand years while the other had only recently become one, so the difference was obvious. It was only because it was a surprise attack with Tang Jie\'s help that Yun Tianlan had been able to injure the Star Lord.
He then said, "We\'ll talk once we\'re out of here."
Carrying the two, he flew toward the exit.
