Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 2015: Chapter 1429: Backup Plan

"What’s going on?"

Master Cang Yuan showed a look of astonishment. The energy within the opponent’s move was indeed extremely formidable, but it should still be far from sufficient to break through the defense of Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Source!

Without further contemplation, Da’an Tian had already risen into the sky, both hands rapidly moving, and again, dark Star Beams shot forth.

The constant "puff puff puff" sounds echoed as the surging Cang Liu were continuously shattered by the dark beams. The damaged Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Source was now finding it difficult to withstand even these ordinary attacks!

Master Cang Yuan was forced to dodge swiftly, yet was still hit by Dark Light, rendering his protective spiritual light ineffective, and causing blood to splatter explosively from his shoulder.

"This energy, compared to earlier, hasn’t increased much..."

Master Cang Yuan looked at the residual Dark Light Star Power on his shoulder with a slightly somber gaze, unable to understand why his defense suddenly seemed so fragile. Seeing the opponent’s relentless attacks, unable to block them, he had no choice but to attack while defending!

"Ten Thousand Rivers Reverse Flow, Canghai Dragon Roar!"

Master Cang Yuan let out a low shout, and numerous Cang Liu spiraled within the Domain, rapidly returning. At his gesture, they bypassed Void Heaven and suddenly descended outside the constantly attacking Da’an Tian, taking the form of three lines of Cang Liu: vertical, horizontal, and diagonal.

As the three Cang Liu surged, they swiftly transmuted into thousands upon thousands of lines, crisscrossing east to west and spanning Heaven and Earth, enclosing Da’an Tian like a world river map flowing in reverse.

The ordinary Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Source is an impenetrable defense, but the reverse-flowing Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Source... is an extremely formidable attack!

"Boom!!"

Countless Cang Liu surged and collided, transforming into a vast, dazzling Spirit Light Burst, temporarily displaying only billions of splashing waves, breathtakingly beautiful, yet each drop held the terrifying power to shatter mountains!

Master Cang Yuan kept his eyes on the turbulent Water Light, and soon, a deep Dark Light dispersed the roaring Water Light.

He saw Da’an Tian standing within the Dark Light, showing no visible injury.

"Not hurt at all?"

Master Cang Yuan’s gaze trembled, feeling incredibly shocked; his supposed Killing Move, Ten Thousand Rivers Reverse Flow, had no effect?

Not only couldn’t defense hold, but even the attack failed to work?!

"Are you surprised?" Da’an Tian rose into the air, his dry and hoarse voice emanating from beneath his black cape, "Hehe, my power is initially slow to heat... encountering an opponent like you is just right."

As he spoke, dark light surged around Da’an Tian, and a large volume of substantial deep dark light again rushed towards Master Cang Yuan.

Master Cang Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand for a Seal Technique, as vast Water Light exploded, creating many fast-appearing Water Clones in the field.

But if Master Cang Yuan himself couldn’t block, what chance did his Clones stand? Da’an Tian casually launched a Dark Light, easily piercing through the Water Clones.

"This person has such bizarre methods, what is going on..."

Master Cang Yuan furrowed his brow, deeply feeling the opponent’s difficulty, while resisting with Clones, constantly pondering the situation.

His own Cang Liu wasn’t weakened, and the opponent’s Dark Light hadn’t strengthened, yet the result of their clash was radically different from before...

Master Cang Yuan looked towards Da’an Tian, and solemnly said: "What have you done? My Star Power seems completely ’restrained’ by you?"

"As expected of this realm’s top expert, your observation is sharp~"

As if already assured of victory, Da’an Tian let out a dry, hoarse laugh, then empathetically began to explain:

"In all of Heaven and Earth, the fittest survive. Just as with individuals at a macro level, so it is with Star Power at a micro level.

Everyone’s Star Power factors are different, changing continuously with the cultivation of Realm, Power of Soul, and Power of Laws.

For this seat, all I need is to sense, analyze, and decipher your Star Power factors, then adapt and transmute them, forming a modified factor of ’antibody’ and ’virus.’"

In this way, you naturally find it increasingly harder to harm me, while I can easily find the deficiency within your Star Power, in simple terms, two words --

Adaptation!"

Master Cang Yuan might not have understood every word, but the general meaning was clear.

In other words, the opponent adapted to his Star Power, thereby completely restraining him.

Da’an Tian said slowly: "As optimization and iteration continue, the modified factors within my Star Power grow stronger. Until this moment... you pose no threat to me anymore!"

With these words, Da’an Tian clapped his hands, causing the Star Power to surge and boundless Dark Light to sweep across the Domain, dyeing the entire sky black.

Upon closer examination, the sky wasn’t actually dyed black, but densely packed, highly compressed Dark Light crystals, which, following Da’an Tian’s wave, fell like grenade launcher shots towards Master Cang Yuan.

"Boom boom boom boom!..."

The piercing sounds and bursts of Dark Light crystals arose in succession, quickly obliterating the continuously transmuting Water Clones, leaving only Master Cang Yuan’s body in the field after just a few breaths.

"Cangyuan Map!"

In fear, Master Cang Yuan rapidly performed the Seal Technique, and the Divine Artifact Cangyuan Map, originally protecting everyone under Dong You, immediately flew back to shield him.

Though still powered by Master Cang Yuan’s Star Power, the Divine Artifact inherently possessed considerable power, and while the Water Light trembled, it barely managed to block the constantly shooting Dark Light crystals from all directions.

Yet Da’an Tian’s attacks were ceaseless, and relying solely on the artifact wouldn’t prevent its inevitable destruction.
