"The origin of the Superiors is what you're looking for now," Wuxiang Tongzi didn't answer directly.
"Could it be the Axis of the World?"
Ming Qi was even more surprised. The Axis of the World connected the entire world below, so it made sense that the Superiors could originate from it.
"It's the power of the Milky Way..."
Hearing Wuxiang Tongzi's answer, Ming Qi was slightly surprised. The power of the Milky Way was probably the most powerful ultimate force in the universe. If that were the case, the true Superiors were probably even more powerful than he had imagined.
"However, the power of the Superiors also makes them rare. Even in the Xiaoyao Realm, there are only a few of them, and they are all demonic beasts."
"Demonic beasts?"
Ming Qi was stunned. The Superiors were so powerful, so why were they only demonic beasts? He didn't ask the question.
"Well, continuing this conversation won't solve the problem. Only by facing a challenge can you neutralize your impetuous state. There's a powerful aura lurking ahead, probably about as powerful as you are. You might as well go over and take a look."
The Wuxiang Boy changed the subject, summarizing the root cause of Ming Qi's irritation.
Ming Qi nodded. He could already sense a powerful star demon lurking a thousand miles ahead. Judging from its aura alone, it was even significantly stronger than he was.
Chopping down weak star demons hadn't given him any sense of accomplishment, but now that he had encountered a formidable one, he couldn't let it go.
The distance of over a thousand miles was quickly covered, and Ming Qi soon came upon a towering, ferocious mountain. Mottled with tree shadows, a variety of unique plants grew in uneven formations.
The mountain was immense, but Ming Qi could clearly sense a powerful aura emanating from it, and he determined that the owner of this aura was no less powerful than himself.
"Looks like a challenge!"
Ming Qi quickly soared towards the summit. If it weren't challenging, he might have completely ignored the place.
The entire mountain was a silvery-white moonlit hue, a beautiful sight. It wasn't long before Ming Qi reached the summit. However, to his surprise, the sky above was completely empty, devoid of anything!
"What's going on? That aura is clearly right here!"
Ming Qi felt baffled. He could clearly sense that powerful aura at the summit, yet there was nothing!
But at this moment, he could still clearly sense the powerful aura surging around him, even more profound than the sensation at the foot of the mountain.
"That thing must be here!"
While he couldn't pinpoint the exact entity, Ming Qi was certain it was there, though he didn't know how it had hidden itself.
Thinking for a moment, Ming Qi, high in the air, swiftly swung his hands, releasing two beams of divine light, blasting them towards the ground. While this attack wouldn't harm the creature, it would certainly force it to reveal itself.
The powerful force didn't directly impact the ground, but instead encountered resistance, then was dissipated by a recoil.
"It's hiding!"
After testing this, Ming Qi no longer held back, instantly unleashing several more powerful bursts of divine power while simultaneously applying Star Attraction to himself.
Now in the Star Region, he no longer had to worry about running out of star power. The star power that had been stored in Nirvana Heaven for so long during the previous battle with Tianyi had been completely depleted, but now it had been fully replenished. He now had two lives.
The powerful force finally caused noticeable movement below. A massive creature gradually emerged from the previously empty mountaintop.
It was undoubtedly a star demon, but as large as a house, its body covered in silver scales and spikes. Its appearance resembled a wolf, yet it wasn't. Its head was round, its face resembled a tiger's, its limbs were thick with silver scales the size of bowls, and it trailed a long tail.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ming Qi had seen many star monsters, but nothing like this. Judging by its size, he suspected this creature was quite powerful.
"Human, you've completely angered me!"
At this moment, a wave of consciousness reached him, and Ming Qi immediately sensed the monster's voice.
"So what if I anger you? Today, I will slay you!"
Ming Qi didn't retreat, transmitting his consciousness directly. He simultaneously raised the Fire Emperor Sword, now coated in pale divine flames.
"The great King of the Stars will make you pay a heavy price!"
The monster's consciousness entered Ming Qi's mind, and he could see it moving at a speed completely inconsistent with its massive body. It quickly soared into the air, then swept its enormous tail across.
"So this creature calls itself the King of the Stars!"
Ming Qi pondered, watching its massive tail, tens of meters long, sweep across the sky, tearing the surrounding space apart. He couldn't help but feel wary. This giant's combat power was even greater than he had previously estimated.
Tearing through space with ease was a true achievement of the Martial God realm.
However, Ming Qi was no longer suppressed in the star field; he too was at the Martial God realm.
With a sweep of his enormous tail, Ming Qi suddenly soared several feet higher. Condensing his divine power, the Fire Emperor Sword slashed with a brilliant blade of light.
The dazzling sword light streaked through the air, pursuing the Star King's enormous tail.
Despite its enormous size, the Star King was incredibly agile. Sensing the incoming sword light, it swung its enormous tail and dodged it.
"He actually dodged it!"
After Ming Qi's strike proved fruitless, he quickly shifted his position, continuously unleashing sword beams as he traversed space.
Some of the sword beams missed, while others struck the Star King's body. However, its armor was impenetrable, and even the sword beams could not pierce it.
Although the Star King lacked wings, it could walk in the air without restriction. This surprised Ming Qi, yet also gave him a headache. This creature was unaffected by terrain, and its strength was astonishing. Even if he were a Martial God, a single sweep from its massive tail would likely be unpleasant.
Seeing that the Fire Emperor Sword was no longer able to effectively damage the giant, Ming Qi flashed and swiftly summoned four shadows, attacking from different directions.
These four shadows, along with the main body, attacked from five different directions, catching the Star King off guard. Its massive tail whipped around, sweeping away two of the shadows, but the remaining two, along with the main body, quickly attacked its head.
The Star King roared to the heavens, then suddenly opened his mouth, unleashing a dazzling beam of light. The fierce light instantly destroyed the two shadows.
"I originally thought this thing's head would be a weak point, but it seems that's not the case. The beams of light it spews out are stellar power, making them difficult to deal with."
As a result, for a while, there was no way to deal with this giant.
"Wuxiang, how's the restoration of the Book of Life and Death going?"
Ming Qi asked as he shifted positions.
