# Chapter 1336: Desperate Dragon's Roar
One sword destroyed a spear and severed an arm, one sword claimed a life and shattered a body. In just two strikes, before the other Star Guards could even react or step forward, three Star Guards had been slaughtered midair.
These three were no nobodies. They were not even among the "powerhouses" known to the world, but Star Guards of the Star Gods, looked up to by trillions of profound practitioners in the God Realm! The lowest profound cultivation among the three was also a third-level Divine Sovereign. Yet beneath Yun Che's sword, they were like three pieces of rotten wood, easily shattered.
A first-level Divine Sovereign?
How could this possibly be the power of a first-level Divine Sovereign!!
The Star Guards behind, who had already been poised to strike, were all frozen in place, trembling as if possessed by ghosts and gods. Xing Ling had died a miserable death, and then, in the blink of an eye, three more Star Guards had been shattered to death. Possessing high status, power, and glory, they could not believe or accept that Star Guards looked up to by the world could die so easily, so miserably.
But while they were horrified, Yun Che, who had shattered three Star Guards with one sword, had already pounced over. The scent of blood and gore rushed at their faces, and in their ears was a roar more terrifying than that of a desperate beast.
"What are you doing?!" The fear and instinctive retreat appearing on the faces of the Star Guards enraged Xing Mingzi: "As Star Guards, are you so easily scared out of your wits by a mere junior from the lower realms?!"
His roar shook the hearts of the terrified Star Guards. At that moment, a loud shout rang out, and a figure shot up from behind. He wore golden armor, and the sword in his hand shimmered with dazzling star radiance.
The Celestial Wolf Star Guard Commander, Xing Lou... a ninth-level Divine Sovereign whose strength even surpassed Xing Ling! In his hand was the Star Sword personally bestowed by the Star God Emperor!
The moment Xing Lou moved, the Celestial Wolf Star Guards behind him followed closely... Their anger had previously been provoked by Yun Che's words, and under extreme humiliation, there might be shame and disgrace, but more than that, there was rage—a restless anger born from the tearing open of their shame and the trampling of their glory... and a thirst for bloodshed!
Unlike the other Star Guards, Xing Lou's eyes were exceptionally cold, lacking the fear seen in the others. He charged straight at Yun Che. As the starlight of his sword grew more brilliant, his body also released a terrifying aura that could only be described as heavenly might, firmly enveloping Yun Che.
Seeing Xing Lou, several Star God Elders nodded slightly. One of them said: "Xing Lou is not only gifted with extraordinary talent, but his state of mind is also exceptional. Perhaps in a few thousand more years, he will be worthy of being an Elder."
"Yun Che! You killed our Star Guards—your crime is unforgivable!!" Xing Lou bellowed, his Star Sword's radiance surging a hundred feet as it swept down... The brilliant sword glow, carrying a terrifying spatial ripple, swept horizontally at Yun Che's legs, aiming to directly sever them.
Siiiiizzz!!
The sound of space being torn was piercing to the extreme. The Star Sword's radiance swept through Yun Che's legs, but only left behind an instantly shattered afterimage.
Xing Lou was stunned. Then an icy coldness spread from his back to his entire body... A coldness so terrifying beyond description, so unimaginable, that it instantly plunged him to the bottom of an abyss. Even his rock-solid heart and soul twisted frantically... It was the fear and despair that Xing Ling had experienced before his death.
"Xing Lou!!"
Boom!!
A blood-red light exploded. One sword struck straight into Xing Lou's back.
Crack!
The sound of Xing Lou's spine snapping was ear-splitting, almost stopping the hearts of everyone present. Darkness enveloped his vision; the world lost all color and sound... Even though Yun Che had brutally killed Xing Ling and obliterated three Star Guards with one sword, Xing Lou had remained fearless. Yet he never imagined that as a ninth-level Divine Sovereign, he could be so... utterly vulnerable.
The spine, the strongest part of a Divine Sovereign's body, had been shattered by a single sword.
Like a falling meteor, Xing Lou slammed heavily from the air. The moment he hit the ground, his entire body was drenched in blood... He lay prone, his wide-open eyes almost devoid of any color. As the commander of the Celestial Wolf Star Guards, a ninth-level Divine Sovereign who could look down on all below the Divine Lord realm, he had been gravely wounded by a first-level Divine Sovereign with a single sword strike.
All the pride and glory of his life were wiped out by this one sword. Even if he survived today, this shadow would follow him for the rest of his life.
But the shadow of death looming over him did not fade. Yun Che had already swooped down from above, the Heaven-Defying Sword crashing down with a bloodthirsty aura that could suffocate even ghosts and gods.
"Xing Lou!!"
Terrified shouts filled the sky. The several Celestial Wolf Star Guards who had followed Xing Lou rushed forward, disregarding their shock and fear. Six beams of Star God Profound Light shot toward Yun Che, trying to force him back.
But Yun Che paid them no heed. The only thing stirring within him was endless hatred and killing intent.
Boom!!
The ground shook. Xing Lou, whose belief had been shattered by a single sword, was crushed to death by Yun Che's merciless strike, his body obliterated just like Xing Ling's. At the same time, the six beams of Star God Profound Light struck Yun Che's back, causing six bursts of blood to explode.
Yun Che turned around. His blood-red gaze turned the six Celestial Wolf Star Guards' faces ashen instantly. He pounced toward them, and with a roar of a blood wolf, the might of his erupted sword was like a falling star... a blood-colored star.
Celestial Wolf Third Sword, Star's Lament!
The Celestial Wolf Divine Power was a power of resentment. When hatred filled heaven and earth, the Celestial Wolf's sword might could make heaven and earth tremble and ghosts and gods quake.
As Celestial Wolf Star Guards, how could they not recognize this Celestial Wolf sword? But when the blood-colored wolf shadow descended like a falling star, their will was almost instantly destroyed... The might of this sword could not compare to that of the Celestial Wolf Star God, but it seemed even more terrifying than the Celestial Wolf Star God himself...
The star exploded, and a spatial vortex appeared in the distortion, lasting several breaths before dissipating. Within that spatial vortex, the six Celestial Wolf Star Guards had completely disappeared—vanished without a trace. Their bodies, weapons, and Star God armor had been annihilated into nothingness by the terrifyingly extreme Celestial Wolf sword might, leaving not even a single trace.
And before their death, the six had remained motionless, not a single person lifting a hand to resist, defend, or flee... because their will had been crushed before their lives were.
"..."
Within the barrier, the Star God Emperor had already stood up, his eyes wide and nearly split. He had almost forgotten that he was still in the midst of a ceremony.
Star Guards, beneath Yun Che's sword, were like weeds. Especially that Celestial Wolf sword strike just now—the pressure in that instant had clearly touched upon...
The Divine Lord realm!
A year ago, Yun Che had advanced from the middle stage of the Divine Spirit realm to the Divine King realm, astonishing everyone present. And now, bathed in blood, he had erupted with power approaching the Divine Lord realm!
A young man born from the lower realms, without the inheritance of a King Realm, barely over thirty years old, had unleashed power close to the Divine Lord realm... Even the Star God Emperor himself began to suspect that everything today was nothing but an absurd dream.
Less than thirty years old, without "inheritance," yet able to erupt with Divine Lord power... Ha! Even if you combined all the absurd events in the history of the entire God Realm, none would come close to this.
"Ughaaaa!!"
Roars shook the heavens and earth. The commander and six Star Guards had been annihilated in the blink of an eye. At this point, how could the Star Guards not understand? Yun Che, whose profound power defied all logic and had gone berserk, exuded the aura of a first-level Divine Sovereign, but his true strength had surpassed them, far beyond their imagination.
The "reserve" and dignity of the Star Guards had become a joke. All the Celestial Wolf Star Guards erupted at once, and in that instant, over a hundred Celestial Wolf Star glows blazed simultaneously!
Over a hundred Celestial Wolf Star Guards joining forces to fight a single person—this was an unprecedented "spectacle." And their opponent was a junior whose age was less than one percent of any of them... Even if Yun Che were to be annihilated now, the Star God Realm would absolutely have no face to record this scene in the Star God Divine Canon.
The power of over a hundred Celestial Wolf Star Gods erupted, and the starlight that bloomed illuminated every corner of Star God City with a blinding, icy whiteness. The overlapping pressure was far too terrifying, drowning out everything, suppressing Yun Che's body firmly downward. Even the blood-colored profound glow around him was swallowed by the starlight.
Yun Che plummeted sharply from the air. The Heaven-Defying Sword struck the ground, and he seemed unable to move. But Xing Mingzi showed no joy at this; instead, his face was as dark as water... Over a hundred Star Guards joining forces at once—this was an utter disgrace!
"Hold nothing back! Cripple him!" he roared in a deep voice.
Starlight flickered, like a hundred falling meteors, all blasting toward Yun Che... Yun Che slowly raised his head. In his blood-red pupils flashed a deep blue light.
A dragon's shadow appeared, roaring proudly into the sky.
Under "Other Shore Asura," Yun Che's life and soul were burning. The power he unleashed was the despairing force of one standing at the edge of an abyss. And this dragon's roar was even more terrifying than any before... a Desperate Dragon's Roar!
Beneath the dragon's roar, the Star Guards charging toward Yun Che all had their pupils lose color, their souls plunging into an abyss of fear, their bodies tumbling from the air. And following the roar came Yun Che's beast-like howl. He raised the Heaven-Defying Sword, and purple lightning crazily coiled around it. As the sword light swept, an endless expanse of purple lightning exploded.
Crack!!
The space around Yun Che instantly turned into a lightning purgatory. The nearby Celestial Wolf Star Guards were all entangled by the lightning. But this lightning that wrapped around their bodies was completely different from any lightning they had ever known. Their protective profound energy and Star God armor were as fragile as paper beneath these seemingly ordinary bolts of lightning, torn apart almost instantly...
"What... what is this?" Xing Mingzi's startled words had just left his mouth when his pupils suddenly expanded several times...
Because what appeared before his eyes was the most horrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.
Yun Che's sword struck down, bringing with it a piercingly sharp thunderclap. All one hundred and seven Celestial Wolf Star Guards, entangled by the lightning, were torn into two pieces by the explosive thunder!!! In that instant, the screams were so miserable that heaven and earth seemed to tremble faintly.
"Wh..." The Star God Emperor shook violently, his eyes nearly bursting from the shock.
Around him, not a single Star God was not pale with horror.
"Heavenly Dao Calamity Thunder?" Tu Mi spoke, but his voice was so hoarse it was barely audible. He felt his heart pounding wildly... It was a feeling of fear. Someone of his high status, with his lifespan nearly exhausted, who had long forgotten what fear was, was actually having fear grow within him!?
What was a Divine Sovereign? Even if their bodies were torn apart, they would not die instantly. But for them, this was a tremendous misfortune. They watched their own bodies break apart, watched their mutilated upper bodies and bloody lower halves. The pain was secondary; the fear and despair far exceeded any torture in the world.
At this moment, they were no longer Star Guards. There was no longer any dignity or glory of Star Guards. They were nothing but a group of evil ghosts who could not even beg for death. Their maimed bodies struggled, screamed, and wailed in despair, splattering blood and entrails everywhere, painting a living, brutal hell.
Standing at the center of hell, Yun Che, who could have easily annihilated them all, was motionless. He savored their blood and their wails, because they deserved to die... a most miserable death!!
