Star Finger

When dozens of white shadows were formed, Zhuowen's face darkened. Although he had not entered the 85th step before, Ji Chenyan had. At that time, it was only a white shadow.

But now, when Zhuowen stepped onto the 85th step, dozens of white shadows appeared. Each of them was not much weaker than the white shadow that Ji Chenyan had encountered on the 85th step.

Without a doubt, this was Chen Xu's intention. It was obvious that he wanted to stop Zhuowen from entering the 85th step.

"Dozens of white shadows?"

Ji Chenyan frowned. She had experienced the white shadows on the 85th step. They were very powerful and could not be compared to the white shadows on the other steps.

Even if she were to face these dozens of white shadows, she might be able to break through if she used all her strength, but she would have to pay a high price.

When the other warriors in the square saw this scene, they were also stunned. However, most of them were gloating over the other's misfortune.

Zhuowen sat cross-legged on the back of the Green Qilin. He narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Chen Xu. Sitting on the futon at the top, Shi Ji's eyes were also cold, but he did not make a move. He wanted to see how powerful Zhuowen was after he had broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"Slaughtering Finger of Acheron!"

Zhuowen bent his right finger and pointed at the void. Suddenly, countless Acheron Water Droplets appeared and formed a yellow vortex on the surface of his body.

At the same time, Zhuo Wen formed seals with his right hand, causing surging Immortal Energy to gush out from within his body. It formed into a 85km tall lone peak in the space behind him, and it suddenly stood horizontally before him, causing it to seem extraordinarily mighty and imposing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the lone peak was formed, dozens of white phantoms also rushed over. Their sharp claws mercilessly smashed onto the lone peak. Immediately, continuous explosive sounds rang out on the surface of the lone peak, and countless gravel shattered and fell from the top of the lone peak.

Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and retreated a few steps under the huge force. However, the moment he retreated to the 85th step, he pointed out his right hand and performed the Devouring Curse Forbidden Skill.

In an instant, numerous runes burst out from Zhuowen's palm like a swarm of locusts. These runes were dark red, and as soon as they appeared, they attached themselves to the lone peak.

The moment the rune was attached to the peak, the entire peak was covered with extremely intense restrictive light. Its aura skyrocketed like a rocket, directly blocking the dozens of white phantoms.

Zhuowen's gaze was extremely calm. His right hand pointed at the void again and countless runes formed dark red chains. The surface of these chains was covered with runes of various shapes.

The chains swept out and covered the surroundings, directly trapping the dozens of white shadows in the vicinity.

The surface of these curse seal chains was filled with a terrifying sealing power. The moment the white shadow was bound, it became motionless. It could only stand on the spot and continue to struggle.

At this moment, Zhuowen's gaze was extremely cold. His right hand formed a sword finger, and the Underworld Spring condensed at the tip of his finger. Then he immediately rushed to the nearest white shadow and pointed at its forehead.

Awoo!

The white shadow roared to the sky. His eyes were filled with pain. Then, his essence was sucked dry by the Underworld Spring and he collapsed.

The moment the white shadow collapsed, Chen Xu's pupils shrank. These white shadows were formed by his essence. Generally, after being defeated, the essence would return to his body.

But now, Zhuowen pointed at the white shadow, and the essence in the collapsed white shadow seemed to disappear into thin air. There was no sign of it returning at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In that instant, Zhuo Wen consecutively destroyed nearly half of the white phantoms. These collapsed white phantoms were similar to the previous one. Their essence did not automatically return to Chen Xu's body. Instead, it was as if they had evaporated into thin air.

"It's this guy's doing!"

Chen Xu's gaze was cold. Soon, his gaze locked on Zhuowen. He shouted coldly, "Stop. You've passed this round."

Zhuowen glanced at Chen Xu indifferently, but the corner of his mouth revealed a mocking smile. He had already reached the 85th step, but he only passed. In addition, Chen Xu deliberately made things difficult for him at the 85th step. How could he easily stop?

Furthermore, based on Zhuo Wen's previous observations, he knew that these white phantoms were formed from Chen Xu's Essence Qi, and the Yellow Springs of Massacre was the nemesis of Essence Qi. If Zhuo Wen did not absorb the remaining white phantoms, he would not stop.

"I told you to stop. Are you deaf?"

Chen Xu roared. His right hand pointed, and suddenly, the Celestial Core Power in his body surged out and condensed into tiny stars at his fingertip.

However, it was precisely this tiny star that caused Zhuo Wen's heart to palpitate. His pupils shrunk to the size of needles. He could feel a sense of danger from the star that caused him to panic.

"Celestial Art, Star Finger!"

Chen Xu coldly shouted as he pointed a finger with his right hand. Immediately, the stars that had been condensed to the limit suddenly shot towards Zhuo Wen like a shuttle. Their speed exceeded everyone's imagination.

The moment Chen Xu used the Celestial Art, the square was in an uproar. After all, Chen Xu was an existence at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Such an existence actually used the Celestial Art on an Early Earthly Immortal Realm tester.

On the other hand, He Yu, who was in the Wang Ren Family, was gloating. The Celestial Art used by a peak Earthly Immortal was much more powerful than an Early Earthly Immortal Realm tester.

On the Stairway of the Celestial Pool, as they could not use Spiritual Rings, He Yu knew that even if Chen Xu had the strange black lightning, he could not use it. Therefore, he knew that Chen Xu was going to be in big trouble this time.

Zhuowen squinted his eyes and immediately combined the Underworld Spring Finger, Celestial Art, Lone Peak, and Devouring Curse. He turned into a long rainbow and rushed towards the Star Finger.

Bang!

The two violently collided. Soon after, Zhuo Wen was shocked to discover that the star formed by the Point Star Finger had actually directly exploded, transforming into a resplendent nebula.

Of course, this nebula was still far from the huge nebula that the Divine Lord Dou Hua used in the Shattered Skull Abyss. However, the power of this Celestial Art was extraordinary.

The two were in a stalemate. Shortly after, Zhuowen's pupils shrank as he found that the nebula formed by the Star Finger began to spin rapidly. Then, the long rainbow formed by the combination of the Underworld Spring Finger, Celestial Art, Lone Peak, and Devouring Curse was shattered.

Zhuo Wen let out a muffled groan and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Shortly after, the Star Finger was extremely fast. It brought along an enormous nebula, wanting to envelop Zhuo Wen's entire body and form a nebula prison.

Zhuo Wen's gaze was solemn. Soon after, his right foot slightly stepped on the ground, and immediately, an invisible ripple spread out from under his feet. Then, Zhuo Wen's figure seemed to have transcended time and space, and actually gradually disappeared from where he stood. The Star Finger just happened to rush over, and actually missed.

"This is …"

The ripple of energy under Zhuowen's foot was extremely faint. However, it could not escape from Dou Hua, Shi Ji, and the other Ancestor level experts who were sitting on a dozen praying mats.

"This energy is so strange!" Shi Ji's eyes lit up as he muttered softly.

On the other hand, Dou Hua narrowed his eyes and revealed a wisp of seriousness and curiosity. He had also sensed the strangeness of the invisible ripple from before. It was a different kind of energy that he had never sensed before. Or rather, it was an energy of a different level.

Ji Wubing, the Ancestor of the Everlasting Family, and the four masters of the battlefield also opened their eyes. They all stared blankly at Zhuowen with puzzlement in their eyes.

The invisible ripple appeared again. Then, Zhuowen's figure slowly appeared in front of the other white phantoms. Zhuowen's movements were not slow. He condensed the Underworld Spring Finger in his right hand and pointed it at the glabella of the remaining white phantoms, absorbing all the essence of these white phantoms.

Chen Xu was also shocked by Zhuowen's scene. He was still in a daze. However, when he came back to his senses, Zhuowen had already defeated all the remaining white phantoms.

Chen Xu let out a muffled groan as a strange flush appeared on his face. Shortly after, the flush quickly receded and his face turned pale.

"You b * stard …"

Chen Xu's face was pale, but his eyes were filled with rage. The dozens of white phantoms were all formed by his essence. How could Chen Xu not be angry when they were all taken away, causing him a lot of internal injuries?

Chen Xu, who had lost his mind, did not care about the rules of the entrance. He pointed his finger again and used the Star Finger again. This time, Chen Xu used all the Celestial Core Power in his body without any regard for his life. The Star Finger he used was much more powerful and terrifying than before.

Zhuowen's eyes were cold. Although he might be able to compete with Chen Xu if he used all his trump cards, it was only the first of the three Heaven, Earth, and Mysterious Gates. He did not want to reveal all his strength so soon.

However, Chen Xu did not give him any time to think. He rushed toward Zhuowen like a madman. He was so fast that he was like a rainbow that cut through the sky.

"It seems that I can't hold back anymore."

Zhuo Wen sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to display his Perfect Saint Body, a cold snort suddenly sounded. Immediately, Chen Xu, who was rushing over, suddenly froze in midair.

Then, a painful expression appeared on his face as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He did not move forward but retreated a few thousand steps before he could barely stop himself. His eyes were filled with horror.

"Chen Xu, don't forget that you are in charge of the Hidden Gate this time. It is not for you to abuse your power, but for you to handle this fair and just. Now, your appearance really makes me very disappointed."

Dou Hua glanced coldly at Chen Xu, then he looked at Zhuo Wen and said with a slightly relaxed expression, "Little Friend Zhuo Wen, it's rare and commendable that you were able to ascend to the 85th step. You're extremely outstanding in this trial. Go down!"

Zhuowen stood up but did not follow Dou Hua's order. Instead, his eyes fell on Shi Ji, who was not far from Dou Hua.
