Chapter 771: Zhou Tian Formation Annihilates the Sky Demon
Thanks to Xiao Ze's Saint Realm Soul, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's feedback ability, and his exceptional affinity with stellar energy, he achieved remarkable progress.
On top of this, the Chaos God Emperor utilized the True Spirit Infusion technique to teach him.
Not only did Xiao Ze receive the training method for the Zhou Tian Star Diagram, but he also inherited the Chaos God Emperor's vast cultivation insights.
This allowed Xiao Ze's mastery of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram to soar to astonishing heights.
Rapid Mastery
Countless profound realizations flowed through Xiao Ze's mind. Though it felt like both an instant and countless years had passed, when the complete Zhou Tian Star Diagram finished forming in his consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.
Within his gaze, stellar brilliance flickered, as if the entire Zhou Tian Star Diagram was reflected within them.
The Chaos God Emperor was visibly shocked.
As the creator of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram, he was acutely aware of its difficulty. Its training required immense talent, and memorizing the movement of the stars was extraordinarily complex.
Even with the aid of the True Spirit Infusion, the Chaos God Emperor estimated Xiao Ze would need months to fully grasp it.
Yet Xiao Ze had managed to master it in less than half a day.
A Prodigious Talent
The Chaos God Emperor could clearly see that Xiao Ze had completely mastered the Zhou Tian Star Diagram. Even if the star array had not been handed to him, Xiao Ze, armed with the knowledge of its principles, could reconstruct it over time.
This level of talent stunned even the Chaos God Emperor. Xiao Ze's earlier modesty about his capabilities now seemed almost laughable.
The stars within Xiao Ze's eyes shimmered briefly before fading.
"Master, I have not failed your expectations!" Xiao Ze declared respectfully.
"Good! Very good! Quickly assign your Saint Flame Army to the various stars. Let them adapt to the stellar energy.
"In the meantime, you can practice controlling some of the less critical stars to get accustomed to their movements."
The Chaos God Emperor's joy was palpable. Xiao Ze's extraordinary aptitude filled him with both pride and hope.
Placing the Saint Flame Army
Following his master's instructions, Xiao Ze released the Saint Flame Army, dispersing them to take their positions across the stars of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram.
Since the Saint Flame Army was an extension of Xiao Ze himself, they shared his incredible affinity for stellar energy. Their adaptation to the power of the stars was seamless.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ze began experimenting with manipulating some of the stars.
Testing the South Vermillion Bird
Xiao Ze selected the South Vermillion Bird quadrant as his starting point, as it resonated with the element of fire, a domain he had unparalleled mastery over.
While adjusting the star paths, Xiao Ze realized that controlling the Zhou Tian Star Diagram didn't deplete his own energy. The immense energy required to power the array came from the Chaos God Emperor and the diagram itself.
This realization reassured him. Even though he was now a Heavenly Sovereign, he knew he couldn't directly compete with the four Sky Demon Emperors without the array.
Vermillion Bird's Roar
Suddenly, a phoenix like cry echoed across the starry domain.
The Sky Demon Emperor trapped in the South Vermillion Bird quadrant sensed the array's power intensifying. An unfamiliar force merged with the stellar energy, amplifying the array's suppressive strength.
Within the fiery domain of the Vermillion Bird, the Sky Demon Emperor struggled as flames of stellar origin engulfed the region. His immense demonic aura erupted in retaliation, but after millennia of suppression, even a Sky Demon Emperor had lost much of his former strength.
Xiao Ze stood firm, his gaze resolute. He was aware that much of the power came from the Chaos God Emperor and the Zhou Tian Star Diagram. Still, the opportunity to face such a powerful opponent filled him with determination.
Attempted Destruction
"Damn it! Cursed Chaos God Emperor!"
The Sky Demon Emperor's roar shook the array. "If I am to perish, I will destroy your precious Zhou Tian Star Diagram with me!"
His demonic energy surged violently, threatening to self destruct.
The Chaos God Emperor's expression changed. "Xiao Ze! Be careful!"
Xiao Ze, however, remained composed. With a calm yet determined voice, he declared, "Master, worry not. I have already prepared."
Zhou Tian's Techniques
With a flick of his fingers, Xiao Ze activated one of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram's divine abilities.
"Heavenly Shift of Stars!"
Countless stars glimmered, and the Sky Demon Emperor, along with his devastating power, was instantly relocated to a faraway region.
An earth shattering explosion ensued, yet it was far removed from the main array.
The Chaos God Emperor, seeing this, nodded in approval. "Impressive. You've already grasped the auxiliary techniques of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram. Remarkable!"
Xiao Ze smiled faintly. "Master, this is merely the beginning. Please watch."
He pointed toward the South Vermillion Bird quadrant, and the Vermillion Bird Star roared to life, soaring through the starry expanse to where the Sky Demon Emperor had exploded.
Moments later, the Vermillion Bird returned, its claws clutching a damaged demonic soul.
Sealing the Sky Demon
Xiao Ze retrieved his Demon Slaying Token, now glowing a brilliant gold.
"Let this Sky Demon Emperor serve one final purpose," he murmured, channeling the demonic soul into the token.
The token absorbed the energy, its surface gleaming with new power. Afterward, Xiao Ze directed the Vermillion Bird to completely destroy the remnant soul, erasing it from existence.
Praise from the Chaos God Emperor
"Well done! This is the true power of the Zhou Tian Star Diagram! The fusion of battle intent and stellar energy is enough to slay even Sky Demon Emperors!"
The Chaos God Emperor's joy was evident. Seeing the Zhou Tian Star Diagram's full might restored filled him with pride.
Xiao Ze glanced at his Demon Slaying Token, now displaying 20,000 Demon Slaying Points, and stored it away.
These points weren't merely for show. They could be exchanged in the Grand Thousand Palace for rare treasures, powerful techniques, or even supreme sovereign level abilities.
With his token's current points, even seasoned Heavenly Sovereigns would be envious of Xiao Ze's rapid accumulation.
