Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The Star Sword Saint spoke up, expressing his bewilderment that Qin Yu, who could condense his energy into a sword, would prefer to use a sword for defense.

"For me, as long as the opponent keeps attacking, defense is my best form of offense."

The sword's momentum has been fully built up.

"Your attack just now, I'm returning it all to you!"

Qin Yu, who had just been on the defensive, suddenly turned offensive and unleashed a powerful sword strike, aimed directly at the Star Sword Saint. The Star Sword Saint didn't even know how he could unleash such a powerful sword move in such a short time.

The rebounding sword energy forced the Star Sword Saint back a great distance, leaving him looking quite disheveled; the counterattack was truly too sudden.

"After defending, you must understand the opponent's weaknesses before you can attack, and then strike when they are out of position!"

Wow!

The attack that severed space was unleashed, and the Star Sword Saint could only dodge it; he dared not take that strange sword strike head-on…

Chapter 431 The Prototype of Creation

Star Sword Saint dared not block Qin Yu's Sky-Slicing Strike head-on and could only hurriedly dodge.

The sword energy that cleaved through the air severed space, creating a crack in the space where the two were fighting.

"He actually destroyed the space set up by His Majesty the Emperor with a single sword strike..."

The eldest prince and others who knew the inside story were stunned. They knew that this space was constructed by the Star Emperor, and that the fact that Qin Yu could destroy it showed just how powerful he was.

"it is good!"

Hoshina cheered up again in the blink of an eye, but after only calling out once, she returned to her original haughty demeanor. She cautiously looked around, making sure no one had seen what she had just done.

"That Xingna..."

Xingyue had seen Xingna's reaction just now; Xingna's behavior perfectly illustrated what it means to say one thing but mean another.

In the battle space

The Star Sword Saint has realized Qin Yu's formidable strength, and it seems he can finally have a good fight with him.

"Revolving Star Sword!"

Countless celestial bodies appeared around the Star Sword Saint, gradually transforming into the shape of a sword and pointing it at Qin Yu.

Each celestial body represents a power of the stars, and the power of each strike can shake the entire space.

The celestial bodies kept crashing into Qin Yu, who once again adopted a defensive stance. The shockwaves from the exploding celestial bodies kept forcing him to retreat, but so far, the attacks had not been able to harm him.

Qin Yu redirected all of Star Sword Saint's attack to the ground and sky, at the cost of the space appearing to tremble even more.

"It's unharmed even after being bombed like that?"

"This is too exaggerated. If it were me, I would have died countless times by now."

……

The battle between the two sides has exceeded everyone's expectations. At first, most people thought that Star Sword Saint could defeat Qin Yu with an absolute advantage. Later, everyone felt that the two sides were evenly matched. Now, it seems that Qin Yu's strength is significantly greater than that of Star Sword Saint.

Qin Yu had already noticed that the Star Sword Saint's swordsmanship only focused on the surface of the sword, that is, pursuing power while ignoring its essence.

This is quite different from the later Black Night Sword Saint and Tianyue. Simply put, the Star Sword Saint's strength is not comparable to that of the Black Night Sword Saint and Tianyue.

Even the Star Sword Saint hadn't grasped the prototype of the Seven Swords of Black Heaven, so Qin Yu had no idea what other trump cards the Star Sword Saint had up his sleeve.

This is not to say that the Star Sword Saint is not powerful. Against others, the Star Sword Saint can indeed crush them, but against Qin Yu, the difference in swordsmanship means that all of his moves have been seen through.

The Star Sword Saint also realized this problem; there was an insurmountable gap between his swordsmanship and Qin Yu's.

"I never imagined the gap would be so huge..."

Although he knew he was likely to lose, the Star Sword Saint would not give up easily; he was going to make one last desperate attempt.

When Qin Yu saw the Star Sword Saint's starting stance for the final blow, he recognized the moves he was using.

"Is this the prototype of creation?"

The Star Sword Saint's final and strongest strike was none other than the last of the Seven Swords of Black Heaven, the prototype of the creation of the heavens.

Although this creation was only in its nascent stage, the power it emitted had already caused the entire space to begin to collapse.

"In that case, I'll retaliate with the same move."

The Star Sword Saint noticed that Qin Yu's sword move was somewhat similar to his own final move. He didn't know what this meant, but this was his last strike.

The Star Emperor noticed that the two were about to get serious, and that the space in which they were fighting was on the verge of collapse. He immediately reinforced the power of the space, but the power of their moves was also constantly increasing.

"I never expected these two to fight like this..."

Qin Yu's strength needs no further explanation; the Star Emperor has already acknowledged it, and not just him, but everyone else has too.

If it were just a matter of overwhelming strength, that would be one thing, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Yu could also outshine the Star Sword Saint in swordsmanship, which was the most fatal flaw.

The Star Emperor suddenly stood up; it was time for him to show himself.

In the square, the space where the two were fighting was in danger of collapsing at any moment, and everyone unconsciously took a few steps back.

"That's... His Majesty the Emperor?"

Those who were originally watching the battle between the two sides saw the Star Emperor appear, now intently watching the fight.

"I never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would also be..."

It's attractive.

Everyone's attention shifted back to the battle between Qin Yu and the Star Sword Saint, whose sword skills had reached their peak.

"Is that the pinnacle of swordsmanship I've been pursuing?"

At the last moment, the Star Sword Saint seemed to have seen a higher level of swordsmanship, and his sword skills temporarily broke through.

"Open the heavens!"

Both swung their final swords simultaneously. The moment their swords clashed, a dazzling white light and a powerful impact were emitted. The Star Emperor frowned and desperately tried to repair the space that was about to shatter.

Is it going to explode?

"With His Majesty the Emperor here, we should be fine, right?"

"I don't know, let's find somewhere to hide first."

……

The onlookers retreated while watching the battle unfold in the space, not wanting to miss the final moment of victory or defeat.

"Qin Yu..."

Hoshina looked into the space with anticipation, believing that Qin Yu would definitely win.

click!

"Oh no, the space has ruptured."

Cracks appeared at the top of the space, and intense white light shot straight into the sky, impacting and shaking a large area around it.

The Star Emperor then deployed protective measures to safeguard the surrounding area, as the entire Star City might be affected if the situation were to spread.

The battle space was like a broken eggshell, gradually cracking from the top, with white light spilling out.

"incredible……"

The Star Families who were watching this scene all sent the footage to their Great Savior, who was far away in another star system.

"Are there already such powerful beings in the Astral Plane?"

The Great Savior fell into deep thought after considering the strength Qin Yu had displayed. Qin Yu had not been part of his previous plans, but now that Qin Yu was staying in the Astral Plane, he had to take him into account. This would be a huge variable that could potentially ruin his plans.

Snapped!

Finally, the battle space could not withstand the power of the Heaven-Opening Sword and shattered, with the resulting sword energy overflowing all around. Fortunately, the Star Emperor had taken protective measures in advance, preventing everything around from being destroyed.

The square was a mess, and through the dust and smoke, a figure could be vaguely seen still standing there.

"Qin Yu..." The Star Emperor saw the figure inside through the dust and smoke. Qin Yu was still standing there without falling, while the Star Sword Saint on the other side was kneeling on the ground with his hands tightly gripping the sword hilt.

"It seems... I've lost..."

As the dust settled, everyone saw the Star Sword Saint collapsed on the ground, exhausted, while Qin Yu stood there with his clothes somewhat disheveled. The outcome of the battle was already quite clear.

When Hoshina saw Qin Yu still standing there, she almost couldn't help but shout, but thankfully she covered her mouth just as the words were about to escape her lips.

"Qin Yu!"

Xingyu ran over and hugged Qin Yu without anyone noticing.

"Hey, why are you so agitated?"

Qin Yu just wanted this guy to let go.

"My best friend won, of course I'm happy!"

"Let's take care of Star Sword Saint first; he's seriously injured."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The Star Sword Saint was carried away, and the Star Emperor was about to announce something important...

Chapter 432 Big and Small Matters

The Star Emperor used his power to project his voice throughout the entire main city, ensuring that everyone could hear what he was saying.

Before congratulating Qin Yu, I have a small announcement to make...

“Some of the cosmic gods have formed an alliance and intend to wage war against our astral realm. Therefore, I have decided to send troops to suppress them.”

Everyone else was stunned when they heard this. Was this a trivial matter? This was war! How could it be considered a trivial matter in front of the Star Emperor?

"Then, I want to congratulate Qin Yu, this newly emerging powerhouse in the Star Boundary."

"Although he is an outsider, disguised as one of our Star Race..."

Qin Yu sighed inwardly. Sure enough, this disguise couldn't fool a powerhouse like the Star Emperor.

The others also whispered among themselves, surprised that Qin Yu was an outsider.

"However, we in the Astral Plane are not xenophobic and welcome friendly outsiders to visit us and even become one of us."

The Star Emperor's words have made many people realize that he intends to recruit outsiders and win over Qin Yu to become a part of the Star Realm.
