ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

The beam of starlight shot through the void, tearing through space like shattered glass, and bombarded the profound ark with overwhelming force.

Multiple profound formations lit up around the ark in an attempt to block the attack, but they might as well have been made of paper. The beam pierced through every one of them upon contact, shattering them into fragments.

"Enemy!"

"Enemy attack!"

Just as the ark was about to be obliterated, four figures burst forth with overwhelming momentum.

The attack came without warning, blindingly fast. By the time the Moon Gods sensed the incoming threat, it was already upon them.

The four Moon Gods rushed directly into the beam's path, joining hands to conjure a massive, thick, transparent barrier to halt the attack.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted the moment the beam struck the barrier. The beam pushed forward with terrifying force, trying to pierce through. The expressions of the Moon Gods darkened. The power behind the attack was beyond extraordinary! Gritting their teeth, they poured in all their strength to withstand it.

Rumble!

Finally, the beam lost its momentum, weakened, and exploded, scattering into countless tiny sparks of starlight that faded into the void.

"These despicable bastards..." The Moon Gods glared at the space ahead with vigilance, their teeth clenched in fury.

Yue Wuya stepped out of the profound ark after confirming Yue Wugou's safety. Narrowing his eyes, he growled, "Star God Emperor! Is there a need to hide, show yourself!"

The beam from earlier was clearly a technique that only the Star Gods could use. Given its overwhelming power, it didn't take a genius to figure out who was behind it, and it obviously the attacker had no intention of hiding their identity either.

"Hmph!" Followed by a cold snort, six figures emerged. Leading them was Jasmine, her red dress clinging to every curve of her voluptuous figure, her icy gaze fixed on Yue Wuya.

"Heavenly Slaughter Star God?" Yue Wuya was startled to see her.

"Moon God Emperor, this king came today to take your pathetic life." Her demeanor was cold and ruthless, like a bloody queen looking down on her massacred enemies.

"Today, I will have vengeance for my mother's death." Jasmine's aura exploded outward, the overwhelming pressure of a 10th-level Divine Master crashing down upon the Moon God Emperor and his subordinates like a collapsing star.

Behind her stood her father, the Heavenly Chief Star God.

The Heavenly Strength Star God, Shenhu.

The Heavenly Origin Star God, Tumi.

The Heavenly Jade Star God, Aster.

And the Heavenly Demon Star God, Qiang Wei.

All five Star Gods fixed their gazes on them indifferently. With the long-standing enmity between the two realms, every Moon God and Star God had clashed with one another at some point in time.

'The mistake of the past had finally come to hunt me today.' Yue Wuya's expression grew grim as he took in the lineup, especially noticing Jasmine's aura, which was clearly stronger than her father's.

He knew today's battle was going to be tough, but he didn't panic. After all, even though the other side had two God Emperors, they too had the backing of another God Emperor-level powerhouse!

Luo Guxie!

Yue Wuya felt a surge of relief, grateful he had invited her to join them on this journey.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But what happened next shattered every ounce of hope Yue Wuya and the other Moon Gods held. The other four Star Gods suddenly exploded with the terrifying aura of tenth-level Divine Masters!

The combined power of all six God Emperors caused the space around them to ripple and twist like tightly clenched fabric!

"What... What..." Yue Wuya was staring toward the front without moving a muscle. His pupils were shrinking, and his scalp was tingling like never before.

Six God Emperors. Six fucking God Emperors!

"How?!" Yue Wuya's mind reeled. The Star God Realm had always been their equal, no, weaker since losing Xisu! So how the hell did they suddenly have six fucking 10th-level Divine Masters?!

That's more than the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Moon God Realm, and the previous Star God Realm combined!

It had been less than a month since he last saw three of these Star Gods, and they were clearly at the 9th level Divine Master Realm. How could they all have made such a massive leap in strength so quickly!?

"My... My king! What should we do?!" One of the Moon Gods glanced at Yue Wuya, his face drained of color, eyes trembling as he gripped his sword tightly.

Facing six God Emperors, there was no way they could win! Even the chances of escape were slim!

The weakest 10th level Divine Masters could take on eight or nine ninth-level Divine Masters and come out victorious. Someone like Xing Juekong, who was as strong as the Moon God Emperor, could handle even more!

Jasmine's cold, sharp gaze remained locked on Yue Wuya, her chilling killing intent so intense it distorted the space around them. "Kill them all!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

"Yes, my king!" The Star Gods answered unanimously and surged forward with incredible speed, their movements sending vibrations through the void with loud rumbling sounds.

Jasmine, on the other hand, turned into a crimson light and shot toward Yue Wuya, her God-Slaying Blade flashing in her hand! "Die!!!"

BOOM!

"Hmph!" Yue Wuya narrowed his eyes, drawing his Purple Pylon Divine Sword as he met her strike with a swing of his own!

He didn't know how Jasmine had suddenly become the new God Emperor without anyone noticing, or how Xing Juekong had even allowed it. But one thing was clear, if he didn't fight, not only would he die, but Yue Wugou wouldn't be spared either!

In fact, this crisis threatened the very existence of the entire Moon God Realm!

Scarlet and purple light collided, bathing the entire star region in a swirling mix of red and purple!

Boom!

The explosion from their collision ripped several gaping cracks through space, hurling Yue Wuya kilometers backward while Jasmine merely took three staggered steps back.

'Impossible!' Glancing at his shaking hand, Yue Wuya's eyes quivered violently. That single clash had shown the glaring difference between them. Though he'd guessed Jasmine was stronger than her father, he never imagined she'd be this powerful!

He had always been confident in defeating Xing Juekong in battle, unlike the Star God Emperor, Yue Wuya's Purple Tower Moon God power reigned supreme among the twelve Moon God inheritances. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Chief Star God's divine power wasn't even the second strongest among his peers.

The strongest Star God was the Heavenly Wolf Star God, which currently had no inheritor.

On the other hand, the four Moon Gods were overwhelmed almost immediately. One of them, trapped by two Star Gods, lost an entire shoulder in a single exchange!

With such a gap in strength and numbers, these Moon Gods wouldn't last much longer.

"Moon God Emperor!" From the profound ark, a large green-purple sphere erupted. Inside were Yun Wuji, Xia Qingyue, and Yue Wugou. Standing before it was Luo Guxie, her face frozen in disbelief as she took in the chaotic scene. "Star God Realm? What's going on?!"

"Fairy Guxie!" Yue Wuya's eyes flashed with momentary hope before darkening again. Even with Luo Guxie's assistance, victory was impossible; escape seemed equally unlikely.

"Luo Guxie! This is a matter between the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm. This king hopes you won't interfere. Take your people and leave; no one will stop you," Jasmine said with a stiff tone, her cold red eyes glaring at Luo Guxie.

Luo Guxie's expression shifted repeatedly, from anger to frustration, then finally to hesitation. She glanced at the sphere behind her before turning to Yue Wuya and speaking in a low voice, "...Moon God Emperor."

It was clear from her expression that she wanted to help, but seeing the hopeless situation, especially with her beloved disciples still here, she hesitated.

Yue Wuya sighed. He wasn't angry at her. If he were in her place, he would have done the same. On the contrary, he felt relieved. The best outcome would be for Luo Guxie to leave with everyone and ensure the safety of Yue Wugou and Xia Qingyue.

It seemed that although she came for Yue Wuya's life, the Heavenly Slaughter Star God didn't care about anyone else.

"Fairy Guxie, this is the karma I've reaped. You don't have to be involved in this matter," Yue Wuya spoke slowly and heavily. At that moment, a sudden enlightenment came to him, and he finally realized that perhaps today would be the day he died.

The prophecy of the three elders had come true.

Fate is indeed both cruel and mystical.

It was just that he didn't expect to die at the hands of this little girl. He hadn't finished preparing the next successor, hadn't spoken his final words to the love of his life, and hadn't even handed over the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl to the next Moon God Emperor!

"..." Luo Guxie shot one last glance at the Moon God Emperor and Jasmine before turning decisively and shooting off into the distance with the sphere.

"Now that the hindrance is out of the way, this king shall take your life!" Jasmine's lips curled into a cruel smile. She glanced at the Star Gods and said, "You two old dogs, come help this king!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tumi and Xing Juekong's expressions remained calm despite being called dogs. They released their opponents and rushed to her side.

If anyone here had a chance to escape, it would be the Moon God Emperor. As for the other Moon Gods, a single Star God was more than enough to deal with each of them. Leaving three Star Gods to clean them up was giving them plenty of face.
