"!!!" The Star God Emperor stood transfixed by the red line, unable to move. Only his eyes moved, wide open as they stared at the person before him.
"My King!!!"
Bang!
Tumi, the strongest in the Star God Realm after the Star God Emperor and a peak 9th level Divine Master, was the first to react. A shrill cry tore from his throat as a sparkling starry light coated his arm, and he punched the Star God Emperor.
Boom!
Hit by an attack powerful enough to destroy stars and reduce planets to dust, the Star God Emperor was sent flying like a meteor streaking through the sky. At the same time, the red line binding him snapped, freeing him to move once again.
The man somersaulted before dispelling the momentum to steady himself. Only then did he turn his sharp, gloomy eyes to face the culprit. There was no anger in them, only deep astonishment and shock.
"My king!"
"Your majesty!"
Everything happened in less than a split second. Only now did the other three Star Gods react. They shot out and surrounded the Star God Emperor, vigilantly staring at the red-haired woman in disbelief.
"Your Highness! What is the meaning of this?" Tumi's aged face stared solemnly at Jasmine. He looked surprised and angry, but more than that, his eyes trembled with shock. A deep shock, because the aura Jasmine radiated was unmistakably that of a 10th level Divine Master, actually, slightly stronger than her father's.
Huge tidal waves of shock and emotion crashed through Tumi's heart.
All the Star Gods stared at this beautiful yet deadly woman in disbelief.
The last time she left the Star God Realm six months ago, she was clearly at the early stage of the 8th level Divine Master Realm. But now, she held the strength of a God Emperor.
How could such a thing happen?
"Old dog, I'm here to take your dog life," Jasmine said, casting the old man a single glance filled with disgust before pointing her God Slaying blade at her father.
The Star God Emperor's expression remained calm despite the myriad of emotions surging through his heart. Eying at his biological daughter, he let out a regretful sigh. "Xing Tong, it's normal for you to harbor hatred toward me for what I did. I do deserve death, but you should understand that everything I did was for the sake of the Star God Realm."
"As the God Emperor, I shoulder the fate of my realm. There is nothing I can't sacrifice for its prosperity!"
His words didn't move Jasmine in the slightest, but they stirred the other Star Gods. The Heavenly Strength Star God exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
"Heh, really?" Jasmine chuckled mockingly. She tilted her head, lips curling into a cold smirk. "In that case, since we're both at the 10th level Divine Master Realm, why don't you sacrifice yourself so I can reach the True God Realm?"
"Isn't it normal for parents to sacrifice for their children? Don't worry, I'll definitely become a better God Emperor than you."
As soon as her words fell, both the Star God Emperor and Tumi's faces twitched. Though they had no hope of her truly forgiving them, they at least wanted to lessen her hostility. But they never expected this tsundere girl, awkward at expressing herself, to rebuke them so easily.
"See? Your bullshit only works on dumb people like them," Jasmine laughed disdainfully. She pointed her blade at the Star Gods surrounding him, then back at her father. "Today, you will pay for what you did to Mother and Brother."
When the Moon God Emperor kidnapped her mother, he only asked for an artifact, but her bastard of a father refused, which caused her mother's death. The anger and hatred she held toward both of them was as vast as the sea.
After dealing with this scum, it would be time for that bastard Moon God Emperor.
"Your Highness, you have indeed become strong, but don't forget that the Heavenly Slaughter Star God is the weakest among the Star Gods in a frontal confrontation," Tumi said, standing before the Star God Emperor as if to protect him, speaking to Jasmine. When it came to assassination and explosive power, Jasmine was probably number one in all of Primal Chaos, but in a direct fight, she didn't have much advantage.
She was an assassin class, while the others were all warrior class.
"Old bastard, who gave you the right to speak? Shut your dog mouth. After dealing with that dog, I will cut your tongue as well," Jasmine's cold eyes swept over them, filled with disdain and disgust. Tumi was the one who convinced her father and schemed against her and her brother to sacrifice them. He was also the one who pushed her to inherit the Heavenly Slaughter Star God when it reacted to her.
In the past, she used to respect him as her teacher, but now she felt only disgust and hatred toward him. Her hatred for this man was as strong as, if not stronger than, the hatred she held for Qianye Ying'er.
That bitch only played with her brother, but this bastard orchestrated all her misery.
"Really? You and what army?" The Heavenly Strength Star God, Shenhu, couldn't bear to see his Emperor and teacher insulted, and he barked loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a signal.
As soon as his words fell, a purple-green beam of light suddenly shot out of nowhere. It split into three beams, moving like snakes, and blasted the three Star Gods away.
The new figure appeared like a ghost, completely unseen and moving so fast that the world turned to a blur. Even the Star God Emperor could only catch a glimpse.
The Law of Wind's power to enhance speed was the greatest of all.
"What?!"
Everyone's faces twisted in shock at the sudden turn of events. The Star God Emperor rushed forward to help the Star Gods.
But Jasmine's figure landed behind him, blocking his path. "Where are you going?"
A woman in purple appeared, chasing after the three. With a long sword in hand, she slashed, sending three arcs of green sword light flying toward them. Without looking back, she shouted, "I'll deal with the trash. You handle your daddy issues!"
"I don't have any daddy issues!" Jasmine's face twisted and turned red as she shouted back at Luo Guxie in anger.
"Yeah, yeah, they all say the same thing. Whatever," Luo Guxie didn't bother to look at her or argue. A green force field burst out from her body, trapping the three Star Gods inside a purple domain.
Bang!
"Ahnn!"
The sharp sword tore through her defense, slicing a long wound from Moonflower's shoulder to her chest. Among the three, she had the lowest cultivation, only an 8th level Divine Master, so against Luo Guxie, she couldn't put up any resistance.
The other two fared slightly better. The Heavenly Strength Star God, known for his powerful physique, summoned two golden gauntlets onto his hands and struggled to block the sword attack.
The Heavenly Demon Star God, who looked like a woman, pulled out a halberd and slashed at the incoming sword. The clash sent him flying far into the distance.
The impact of each of these attacks sent shockwaves rippling across the sky. Even the simplest strike from a Divine Master could destroy a star. Every clash was stronger and more dazzling than a supernova.
"Fairy Guxie?!" Tumi's face darkened the moment he got a clear look at the newcomer. He still hadn't recovered from the shock of Jasmine's sudden surge in strength, and now another blow struck him. Luo Guxie was also at the 10th level Divine Master Realm, her aura even stronger than Jasmine's and the Star God Emperor's.
Her strength was almost the same as the Eternal Heaven God Emperor's!
How the hell did this happen?
"Wait! Luo Guxie came looking for Her Highness a few months ago. Could this change be connected to that?" Tumi recalled what a Star Elder had told him not long ago, about Luo Guxie searching for Jasmine and visiting the Star God Realm.
Swoosh!
"Argh!"
While still shaken, a black light darker than the void around them suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slammed directly into his chest, sending him flying far away. Then the figure of a rainbow-colored woman appeared.
"Lady Jasmine, I'll deal with this old dog," Hua Jin said with a graceful smile, then shot toward Tumi, leaving a rainbow-colored trail behind her.
She was the number one assassin in the Northern Divine Region. When it came to stealth and concealment, only Jasmine and Mu Xuanyin ranked above her. The three were likely the greatest assassins in all of Primal Chaos. Before she made her move, no one had been able to sense her.
"Another God Emperor level powerhouse!" Tumi covered his chest, blood seeping from his lips. He twisted his body in the air to steady himself and exclaimed. Though her strength was weaker than Jasmine and Luo Guxie, she was undeniably a 10th level Divine Master!
Since when did God Emperors become so common? Their Star God Realm had only one!
Hua Jin was indeed a 10th level Divine Master. Not only her, but all the Witches except Yu Wu and Chanyi had reached the 10th level. That meant seven of the witches were already at God Emperor level.
This was all thanks to Yun Wuji's Level Up pills. Yu Wu and Chanyi were both originally at the 8th level Divine Master, and after taking the pills, they rose to the 9th level.
"Xing Tong, you colluded with devils to harm your realm?!" The Star God Emperor's face twisted with fury as he pointed his sword at her. "You colluded with the Soul Stealing Realm?!" he demanded angrily.
Others might not have known who Hua Jin was, but he was the Star God Emperor. Just from her dark aura and appearance, he instantly recognized her as the seventh witch. As for how she had grown so strong so suddenly, this wasn't the time to wonder.
"Daddy, chill," Jasmine said with a bright smile, watching his angry face. She flicked her blade with slender fingers and tilted her head cutely. "Why are you so worked up? I'm just calling my friends to help me kill you. No big deal, right?"
"You'll understand me, won't you? Like you always told me to."
"Now... could you please go and die~?"
