"Immortal Star!"
Lu Zheng felt like cursing his luck as he stared at the man before him.
~Out of the dozens of people in this place, why is it me that meets this maniac?~
"Now, you can only die!" Immortal Star shouted as a large amount of shiny purple dust emerged from his body and enveloped Lu Zheng.
The shiny dust began to grind Lu Zheng's body slowly but he was unable to move.
However, due to his tempered body, the grinding only caused superficial injuries that his regenerative abilities could easily heal.
The star dust, after grinding for a long while finally lost its power and dissipated.
"Pitiful" Immortal Star remarked as he turned to leave.
"Is that it?" Lu Zheng sneered coldly.
"Oh? It seems you have some fight within you. Please don't disappoint" A large purple crossbow formed above Immortal Star as a purple sphere was shot from it.
The purple sphere was aimed at Lu Zheng with pinpoint accuracy.
Lu Zheng's instincts were roaring at him that getting hit would only mean certain death.
Without hesitation, Lu Zheng jumped away to avoid it only to be followed.
"It's no use, I have already marked your life aura. Just die" Immortal Star said.
"Is that so?" Lu Zheng brought out the Vermillion Sacred Prism which consumed the purple sphere and shot it back towards Immortal Star.
Immortal Star did not dodge and allowed the purple sphere to hit him. The purple sphere instantly merged with his body.
"That star was created with my star Qi as foundation, it can't possibly harm me. As for that mirror, I think I'll have it" Immortal Star said as a smile appeared on his handsome face.
In a moment, Immortal Star appeared right by Lu Zheng and a purple flame ignited on his palm.
"It won't be easy" Lu Zheng retorted as he immediately urged his bloodline power and used Ignition.
His height instantly increased as his hair turned crimson and grew wildly around his body.
The crimson Vermillion True Flame took ablaze on his entire being as his pupils became the deepest tinge of red.
The ice beneath him melted as pools of lava formed turning the icy world into a blazing hell.
Strong fire Qi was revolving around Lu Zheng as an omnipotent aura that refused to yield gushed from him.
This was the first time he was using Ignition after reaching the Sky realm and it had such a strong effect.
Yet, Lu Zheng wasn't done.
Qi leaves were expended as lightning Qi condensed in the space around Lu Zheng.
Thick bolts of lightning coursed through Lu Zheng's body as thunder resounded from within his body.
His battle strength had entered a whole new level.
Even Immortal Star was momentarily stunned.
"You're beginning to irk me" Lu Zheng's tone was indifferent as he slapped Immortal Star in the hand sending him tumbling many metres away.
The slap on the hand was as casual as it may be but if any martial arts disciple from Earth ten millennia ago had seen it, they would gawk in awe.
This was because the slap on the hand had zero excess movements.
It was the peak of martial arts – Finesse!
Immortal Star didn't frown despite Lu Zheng's huge increase in battle strength. Instead, he was happier than ever.
"Interesting! Very interesting! It's a pity my main body did not join this expedition and will miss fighting you. Even so, I will make this fight completely worthwhile" Immortal Star laughed wildly.
Lu Zheng's gaze was stern as he listened to Immortal Star. It turned out that this 'Immortal Star' was merely a clone.
This information gladdened Lu Zheng's heart.
He knew that the Immortal Star Olina and the others had described held excellent battle strength that he couldn't compete with yet.
Surviving against a clone was easier than fighting the main body.
Six purple stones flew out of Immortal Star's body before transforming into copies of him.
The copies all had the same aura and battle strength as Immortal Star's clone.
Lu Zheng was having a hard time locating the true clone.
"This technique killed a Void Passage realm expert two centuries ago and how I earned my dao title. Even if you can kill my real body, my soul consciousness would only shift to another star fragment. If you destroy all six star fragments and me, I can easily revive with my other star fragments. I'm simply unkillable" Immortal Star said.
"Oh, let me warn you. When you kill any of my copies, the rest of us would have an increase in battle strength. I call this technique Six Star Illusion but, it is no illusion, this is reality"
