ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

The three Star Gods split into different directions, surrounding Yue Wuya. When it comes to battles between God Emperors, killing one is extremely difficult without special means.

Beyond their immense strength, they can escape as long as they are willing to pay the price.

Yue Wuya glanced at the woman hovering before him, her eyes filled with deep killing intent. He let out a complex sigh. To think the mistake he made years ago would come back to bite him.

Back then, when he kidnapped Jasmine's mother, many thought he was pathetic; even he felt the same himself. He had known clearly that the real culprit was Qianye Ying'er, yet he still took out his rage on a powerless woman.

"Perhaps I really deserve such an end," As he whispered those words, he thrust his sword out.

This simple stab of his sword caused purple light to flood the void. In the blink of an eye, even the rampaging spatial storms born from the battle between the other Star Gods and Moon Gods were torn apart.

When the purple light radiated from his sword, the entire star region suddenly went dim, as if all brightness had been devoured in an instant.

"I'll deal with him personally. You two make sure he doesn't escape, and don't kill the other trash. We still have use for them," Jasmine transmitted to the Star Gods.

The instant that purple light flashed, she slashed down with her God Slaying Blade as well. The moment her blade swept down, blood filled the sky, and her sharp sword might resembled an evil slaughterer descending to the earth as it exploded toward the Moon God Emperor.

Boom!

The space within the star region was split in two, cleaved apart into two distinct worlds, one glowing with lustrous purple, the other stained deep blood crimson.

However, the line that clearly divided these two distinct worlds was soon violently torn apart as they collapsed simultaneously. The divine power of the Purple Pylon and the Heavenly Slaughter clashed frantically and chaotically against each other.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The clash of the Purple Pylon Divine Sword against the small God Slaying Blade shook the heavens and earth. From a distant star realm, their battle would appear like two planets, one purple, one red, colliding in a catastrophic explosion.

The clash between two God Emperors was a furious battle where every moment, every strike, felt like a catastrophic disaster. From the very start, they unleashed their full world-shattering might, making each clash more terrifying than the last.

Jasmine moved at insane speed, leaving countless afterimages trailing behind her. Her crimson divine power surged wildly as she stabbed at him, moving so fast it seemed she appeared in multiple places at once.

When she first refined the Untamed World Pellet, her strength surged sharply, surpassing even her father's power. But even then, it was difficult for her to fully suppress him during their fights. However, a month had passed since, and although that might seem short to others, with Yun Wuji's help and his 'hard and deep' skills, she managed to adapt to her increased strength.

Purple light shone with intense might before being instantly devoured by the bloody light. Yue Wuya sighed deeply inside. The Heavenly Slaughter Star God was supposed to be weak against frontal attacks, but this little girl before him was so strong that the weakness didn't seem to apply at all. Although he hadn't suffered any injuries during their exchanges yet, it was clear it was only a matter of time.

"The situation is hopeless. I can't save any of them." He swept his senses toward the four Moon Gods. They were completely crushed by the Star Gods, barely able to protect their lives. Meanwhile, he had to fight Jasmine, who was stronger than him, and split his attention to stay on guard against Tumi and Xing Juekong.

"I can't die. Not now. If I fall here, the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl will fall into their hands, and the Moon God Realm will be completely lost." Yue Wuya tightened his grip on his sword as intense purple light began to radiate from him. Anyone could die, including him, but the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl absolutely could not fall into anyone else's hands.

It is the wellspring of all the Moon God's divine powers. Without it, no more Moon Gods would be born!

Bang!

Jasmine appeared before him once again. Her figure split into nine shadows, attacking from every direction at once. Her blade grazed his protective energy, piercing through it. But just as she was about to strike, Yue Wuya raised his sword and blocked the attack at the last moment.

Boom!

Another apocalyptic explosion erupted, sending both of them flying back. Yue Wuya was hurled dozens of kilometers through the air, while Jasmine stayed rooted in place. She then transformed into a streak of crimson light and dashed after him.

Ding!

A beam of purple light seemed to have transcended both time and space as it instantly crossed dozens of kilometers to pierce Jasmine's throat. When it clashed with her blade, it caused the space around them to shatter into countless fragments.

After she dealt with the beam of purple light, Yue Wuya stepped through space and appeared right in front of her. He attacked Jasmine once more, the Purple Pylon Divine Sword shooting out. His movements were surprisingly faster and more precise. He seemed to weave in and out of reality, and every time he struck at Jasmine, a glowing purple moon trailed behind him.

"Hmph!" Letting out a cold snort, Jasmine's hand transformed into a red-silver dragon claw, and she brought it down with deadly force!

As someone with Yun Wuji's Dragon God bloodline, she had previously cultivated the Body Thickening technique, a downgraded version of Dragon Morph. After dual cultivating with him, Yun Wuji imparted the full technique to her and gave her four more drops of his blood. This strengthened her body many times over and effectively removed her weakness to frontal attacks.

She was now stronger in frontal combat than most others at her level.

Pushing Yue Wuya away, Jasmine spun around, but before she could fully turn, purple moons had already filled the sky.

She aimed at them and fired a red beam, instantly destroying one of the purple moons.

The moment the purple moon ruptured, a glaringly brilliant purple light burst forth from within. It flooded the entire region instantly, turning Jasmine's vision and the surrounding space into a pure, lustrous purple.

Her sight was not the only thing obscured within this purple space. Even her senses began to warp and distort.

"Purple Moon Prison?"

Purple Moon Prison was one of Yue Wuya's divine techniques. Her dog father had told her about it before the fight. It was an attack that used Purple Pylon divine power to confuse a person's heart and vision.

When Jasmine destroyed that purple moon, she wasn't the only one trapped in the Purple Moon Prison. Xing Juekong and Tumi were caught in that surprise attack as well.

"That scum is going to run! Stop him!" Jasmine's expression darkened as she shouted urgently. Her voice was amplified by her profound energy, but inside the Purple Moon Prison, all senses were distorted, and no one could hear her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rumbling explosions echoed throughout the purple space as Tumi and Xing Juekong attacked wildly, trying to break it apart. They had fought Yue Wuya many times before and knew that the easiest way to deal with this divine technique was to obliterate it directly. Wasting time trying to unravel or adapt to it was pointless.

They were much more anxious than Jasmine, because they knew that if they were to allow Yue Wuya to escape, both of them would once again have the "honor" of experiencing the Limitless Agony Soul Mark.

Yue Wuya was indeed trying to escape. He had been planning this from the start. In fact, the idea had been on his mind the moment the Star Gods revealed their full strength. But at that time, he was worried about Yue Wugou and Xia Qingyue, so he waited until they had left.

He wasn't a coward, afraid of death, and abandoning four of his Moon Gods pained him deeply. But as the Moon God Emperor, it was his responsibility and duty to ensure his realm survived. He had to return to the Moon God Realm. He could not die here.

Especially not at the hands of the Star God Realm.

Shooting through the purple space, Yue Wuya pushed himself to his maximum speed. As long as he could leave this area, even if Jasmine and the others destroyed the prison, he would already be far ahead, leaving them all in the dust.

BOOOOOMMMM!

However, despite his efforts, disappointment awaited him.

An explosive tearing sound rang through the air as a red light tore through the Purple Moon Prison. It slammed into Yue Wuya directly, sending him flying!

BOOMMM! BOOOM!!!

Two more explosions rang out, tearing apart the Purple Moon Prison. One was a grey beam, the other a brilliant starlight, both shooting toward him and smashing into his body, blasting him away.

Crack!! Crack!

Rumble!

Xing Juekong and Tumi appeared the moment Jasmine arrived. The three joined forces and besieged him!

The combined power of the three God Emperors caused the space to crack like shattered mirrors. Yue Wuya fought back fiercely, slashing with his sword and erupting with his Purple Pylon Moon divine power.

The Purple Pylon Divine Sword shot toward Xing Juekong's ribs as purple light suddenly spread over the upper half of his body. Droplets of blood sprayed into the air when the Star Chief Heavenly Sword slammed heavily into Yue Wuya's sword arm.

Swoosh!

Tumi appeared behind him, his old, withered hand piercing through his back from the left side. In the next moment, Jasmine appeared before him and stabbed straight into his heart.

Cough!

Yue Wuya's vision blurred for a split second as he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

Boom!

Purple light burst from him, pushing the two away. The power was much stronger than when he used it earlier. He clenched his heart and glared at Jasmine, gritting his teeth. He stabbed his sword toward her, and purple light shot forth!

Bang!

"What?!" Jasmine struck out with her dragon claw, stopping the attack, but to her surprise, she was pushed back. The scales on her hand were pierced and shredded.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yue Wuya turned into purple light and shot far away. His speed was more than three times faster than before.

"Not good! He's running! Chase him!" Jasmine's face darkened as she shouted anxiously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three turned into streaks of light and pursued him relentlessly. They attacked constantly from behind, trying to stop him, but Yue Wuya was determined to escape. He ignored everything and kept fleeing.

The chase lasted an hour before Jasmine and the other two finally stopped.

"M-my king, Yue Wuya ran away. What should we do?" Tumi stared at Jasmine's darkened face and asked hesitantly. Even someone as old as him was still deeply traumatized by the Limitless Agony Soul Mark.

"..." Xing Juekong tried to keep a straight face, but the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his nervousness.

"All according to keikaku," Jasmine's dark face suddenly broke into a wide smile. She ignored the two old men and turned, flying back. "Well shit! It seems my acting skills have improved, too. That bitch Hua Jin can't keep bragging about her infiltration skills anymore!"
