I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 532: Life Halo Accomplishes Its Purpose
Emperor Bai’s figure suddenly appeared in the void without any regular pattern, leaving behind a trail of thunderous purple ribbons with each appearance. Drulu didn’t understand the purpose of these ribbons, but since Emperor Bai went to such great lengths, they surely were not ordinary, so he dared not touch them lightly.
Qing Emperor and two others continued to besiege Drulu, with Xuan Emperor in close combat, Ming Emperor providing support, and Qing Emperor restraining. With the addition of the strange ribbons laid out by Emperor Bai, Drulu was momentarily bound hand and foot.
"Sky Net—" Emperor Bai suddenly roared, and the remaining thunderous ribbons instantly formed a spherical cage that contracted around Drulu. Qing Emperor and his two companions quickly retreated, passing through the gaps that Emperor Bai had left open.
While Qing Emperor and his companions could pass through the gaps, Drulu could not, and in an instant, he was blocked by the ribbons. Almost instantly, the ribbons finished contracting and trapped Drulu firmly.
At this moment, Drulu realized Emperor Bai’s intention, but there was no unusual expression on his face. A cruel smile spread across his lips, and energy surged from his body in an instant.
"BOOM—" A pillar of light burst forth from in front of him, and the binding sphere instantly shattered. Even the sphere meticulously crafted by Emperor Bai ultimately couldn’t withstand a light attack from Drulu. As a God Warrior of the Demon Clan, Drulu was a being that even the top masters of the Cultivation World struggled with. He was invincible in a realm where the cultivation civilization had been lost.
Even if Drulu’s strength was suppressed to one percent, he was still invincible.
"Such a pitifully weak attack—"
"Got you!" Just as Drulu was about to comment on breaking free from the sphere, Emperor Bai suddenly appeared behind him, grabbing Drulu tightly.
"Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment!" Purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder engulfed Drulu in an instant, and Emperor Bai, with a strong grip like an iron lock, seized Drulu by the throat.
"Now’s the chance—"
Witnessing this scene, Wang Lan’s scalp numbed. What was Emperor Bai doing? Was he restraining Drulu to create an opportunity for Xuan Emperor and the others to attack?
Earlier, Wang Lan had seen clearly that the powerful Star Martial Skills executed by Emperor Bai and the others could harm members of the Demon Clan. Drulu avoided most of the Star Martial Skills from Qing Emperor and the others, and engaged directly with hand-to-hand combat.
However, Drulu’s combat sense and realm were far superior to those of the Five Emperors, so even with lethal Star Martial Skills, Drulu could easily evade them. A Star Martial Skill that couldn’t hit its target was virtually useless.
Wang Lan had also been thinking about how to restrain Drulu. Clearly, Emperor Bai had been pondering the same issue. Drulu wasn’t just simply fast; he was overwhelmingly superior in all aspects.
Therefore, Emperor Bai decided to use his own desperate measure to restrain Drulu and create an opportunity for Qing Emperor and the others to attack. However, this cost would inevitably mean Emperor Bai was also within the coverage of the Star Martial Skills attack from Qing Emperor and the others.
This would be fatal.
At this moment, Wang Lan suddenly understood.
What about the name of the Five Emperors? What about the title of the top masters among humans? These were all but empty titles. To the Five Emperors, they were still warriors, simply stronger than others, rarely encountering an enemy they couldn’t deal with, a foe they couldn’t defeat.
Once they did encounter such, they would have the same resolve as any common warrior, and do what any common warrior would do, such as sacrificing one to create a chance for victory.
In fact, Qing Emperor and the other two didn’t hesitate for a moment; as soon as Emperor Bai restrained Drulu, the three of them unleashed their Star Martial Skills instantly.
"Heavenly Mysterious Slash!"
"Ultimate Sword Skills!"
"Five Elements Annihilation!"
"Life Halo—"
As Qing Emperor and the others launched their attacks, Wang Lan quickly threw a Life Halo onto Emperor Bai.
"Bastard—" For the first time, Drulu’s face changed color. The vigorous Star Power roared from his body, determined to break free from Emperor Bai’s restraint. But Emperor Bai, as if with an iron resolve, clung on tightly no matter how Drulu struggled, even willing to reach the limit of sublimation.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—" When the attacks arrived, Wang Lan saw the Life Halo successfully appear on Emperor Bai’s head. Relieved, he hastily retreated.
Wang Lan’s retreat wasn’t about fleeing; after all, this was a combined Star Martial Skill from the three emperors, its power not much weaker than a nuclear bomb.
"BOOM—" A terrifying white light shot up into the sky, forming a giant mushroom cloud made of light.
Light does not dissipate slowly like dust. It essentially vanishes the moment it loses its source. A massive crater appeared before everyone’s eyes, over five kilometers in diameter, so large that one could barely see the other side at a glance.
Such an explosion, even from a distance in space, could be clearly seen. Wang Lan’s figure flashed instantaneously, rushing towards the crater.
"Wang Lan, what are you doing? Come back—" Qing Emperor was extremely anxious. Although the power of this strike was immense, and anyone among the Five Emperors would turn to ash in a direct hit, it didn’t mean that Drulu would be killed by it.
Under such unclear circumstances, wasn’t Wang Lan’s charge essentially risking his life recklessly?
As expected, at the bottom of the pit, a hand with sharp claws reached out from the vast sands, and a shadowy figure appeared beside Wang Lan like a ghost. The hand, sharp as a blade, thrust viciously into Wang Lan’s chest.
"BURST—" Wang Lan’s body exploded, transforming into dozens of Nether Butterflies fluttering in the air.
At this moment, Drulu did indeed look miserable, half of his body blown away. Yet his body was wriggling quickly, regenerating at a rapid pace.
"What is this thing?" Drulu, puzzled, reached out to grab at the butterflies, but they seemed untouchable, like mere projections.
Meanwhile, one of the Nether Butterflies had already reappeared at the edge of the pit’s bottom. Wang Lan’s figure materialized in an instant.
While the Dance of the Dark Butterfly was not a Space Attribute Star Martial Skill, it was nevertheless a manipulation of space. With just a flap of its wings, it could move hundreds of meters instantly, ignoring any distance or obstacles. However, Drulu, not knowing what movement technique he possessed, managed to reach Wang Lan again just as he materialized.
At this moment, Wang Lan just wanted to say, Why the hell are you focusing on me, a mere side character? Isn’t your opponent those three on the shore?
There was no time for hesitation. The Sword Spirit within reacted instantly, and at the moment Wang Lan’s will arrived, twelve streams of Sunlight Sword Qi burst forth from the twelve acupoints on his back.
Sunlight Sword Qi was an ancient cultivation civilization’s lethal technique, and Wang Lan had raised it to Diamond Nine, just one step away from reaching Liu Changfeng’s level.
Wang Lan’s strength was inferior to the Five Emperors, but what he lacked was not the strongest attack power. Similar to the gap between the Five Emperors and Drulu, it wasn’t that the offensive power was inadequate, but rather a difference in realm and scope.
Regarding single-hit lethality, if Drulu wouldn’t dare to take a direct hit from the super S-Class Star Martial Skills of the Five Emperors, would he then dare to take a hit from Wang Lan’s Sunlight Sword Skill? Wang Lan was confident that his Sunlight Sword Skill was slightly more powerful than any Star Martial Skill released by Qing Emperor and the others.
This advantage was something Drulu had not anticipated. So, when Drulu charged towards Wang Lan, he was confronted by twelve Sword Qis. In a critical moment, Drulu swerved sideways, narrowly escaping the twelve Sword Qis.
Nonetheless, one of the Sword Qis grazed Drulu’s cheek, leaving a wound from which green blood seeped out.
Wang Lan didn’t dare to delay. After grabbing something from the sand, his figure instantly turned into lightning and bolted back. Drulu did not pursue this time, allowing Wang Lan to return to shore.
Seeing Wang Lan return safely, Qing Emperor and the other two heaved a long sigh of relief. In their eyes, Emperor Bai’s death was meant to create an opportunity for them to attack. Although Drulu hadn’t been killed, at least Emperor Bai’s death had meaning. But if Wang Lan had died in his reckless charge, it would’ve been utterly pointless.
Wang Lan made it back successfully, and to everyone’s confusion, he gently tossed down a Fetus Bead. Upon touching the ground, the bead shattered rapidly, then transformed into a lump of flesh. The lump wriggled quickly, soon taking the form of a chick embryo.
Seeing this scene, not just the faces of Qing Emperor’s trio changed, even Drulu, slowly rising from the pit, showed a change of expression.
About thirty seconds later, an infant appeared before the four of them, growing rapidly before their eyes. Witnessing all of this, everyone understood why Wang Lan had to rush out at all costs, and joy erupted across Qing Emperor’s face.
The moment Emperor Bai decided to sacrifice himself, the other three emperors were profoundly distressed. They were pained to take the life of a comrade-in-arms they had fought alongside for decades. But the situation at the time allowed no room for hesitation, and so they acted, setting aside their emotions.
Emperor Bai turned to ash under their combined assault, but Drulu didn’t die, intensifying their anguish further. Now that Emperor Bai had been rescued by Wang Lan, it was simply... too wonderful.
Drulu’s eyes fixed on Wang Lan, his lips curling into a meaningful smile, "You must be one of the human Star Martial Warriors, a medical practitioner, right? I was wondering why they would bother bringing you along when your strength is clearly lacking compared to theirs. Now I see."
"In that case, you definitely cannot be left alive!" As Drulu spoke, he pointed a finger, and a ripple of space undulated from the tip.
"Not good—" The others rushed over, intent on rescuing him. With Wang Lan’s level of strength, he wouldn’t be able to withstand even a light tap from Drulu.
Instantly, a brilliant white light spread around Wang Lan as the Holy Light protection triggered. Also a Diamond-rank Star Martial Skill, this protective Star Martial Skill had a power every bit as strong as any other offensive Star Martial Skill.
As soon as the Holy Light appeared, Drulu’s attack also arrived instantly. It was an extremely peculiar attack, invisible and unfelt, but capable of releasing terrifying energy from the surrounding space.
"BOOM—"
The Holy Light around Wang Lan shattered in an instant, and his body was flung into the air. At that moment, Qing Emperor and his companions arrived, sending three attacks that seemed to cross space, barreling towards Drulu once more.
"Do you really think your attacks can hurt me?" Drulu’s face bore a proud smile, as an energy barrier appeared in front of him.
Three attacks penetrated the energy shield and disappeared after causing only a few ripples.
"In my eyes, you are nothing but slightly stronger ants. The reason I entertained this game was for my amusement. But when I tire of playing, you won’t touch even a hair on my head.
"Humanity must be watching you closely, aren’t they? I want them to despair and tremble in the face of my power. Your civilization’s invented weapons indeed have their merits, but don’t think that just because you’ve eradicated our vanguard forces, you could defeat the Divine Clan.
"The gap between you and us is as vast as the Galaxy itself. Even by myself, I can destroy your entire civilization."
