Chapter 1378 - See Through

“Seven Stars String!”

Ye Kuang pointed at Chen Fan. Seven large stars flew out from the starry sky over Ye Kuang, rubbing violently against the air as they rushed forward like meteorites, their descent accompanied by deafening rumbles.

Chen Fan, however, showed no fear. He released his aura, seemingly like an ancient god walking in the starry sky, his fists waving, as if to blow up the stars.

“Come!”

Rumble!

The first star crashed down with terrifying force, as though intent on smashing Chen Fan into dust.

The crowd watching from the outside world sucked in cold air repeatedly.

Too terrifying!

Too shocking!

None doubted that if they stood where Chen Fan now stood, the sheer pressure of the star would have reduced them instantly into nothing but blood and paste.

However, Chen Fan’s fists could destroy everything, regardless of whether it was a star or an iron mountain. It would all be destroyed under his fists.

Boom, thump!

His fist slammed into the first star, shattering it into fragments. There was no time to breathe; the second star was already upon him.

Rumble!

With another punch, the star was destroyed.

Boom, boom, boom!

The seven massive stars pressed toward Chen Fan, refusing to grant even the briefest reprieve. He fought like a tireless war machine, meeting every assault with devastating punches, reducing each star to rubble without retreating a single step.

Whoosh!

At some point, Ye Kuang’s starry sky had spread across the battlefield, blotting out the day and enclosing Chen Fan in its boundless expanse.

Ye Kuang looked at Chen Fan with a cold smile and said, “Chen Fan, it’s over for you!”

Chen Fan lifted his gaze. Above, below, all around, there was only the endless starry sky. Within that vastness, the stars glowed brighter and brighter, swelling in size as they swept brilliant trails across the firmament.

The rumbling grew closer. At first faint, then swelling into a deafening roar that made the entire world tremble violently.

Suddenly, a formless, terrifying force descended, making Chen Fan’s hair stand on end.

An extremely dangerous aura filled the air.

“Rain of Stars!”

Following Ye Kuang’s shout, the stars in the depths of the starry sky suddenly appeared in sight, blasting toward Chen Fan like raindrops.

For the first time, Chen Fan’s calm heart stirred.

What immortal art was this?

It was so terrifying!

The outside world also burst into a commotion.

“My god, what terrifying momentum. The stars are like rain. Who could stop this?”

“It’s over. It’s over for Chen Fan. Perhaps he could destroy one or two stars, but a rain of stars?”

“This is the difference! The difference in foundation. Chen Fan came from the barren lower realms, so his foundation is lacking compared to Ye Kuang. That disparity is now laid bare.”

“That’s right. It’s already impressive for Chen Fan to come this far. Unfortunately, he ran into someone like Ye Kuang, whose strength and foundation outstrip all others. He will surely be stopped here.”

Countless spectators gasped as the rain of stars fell, shaken to their core. Even those who favored Chen Fan faltered, doubting he could resist such a devastating move. All eyes locked onto the battlefield, waiting to see how he would respond.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression grave.

Rumble!

In an instant, the stars pelted down at him like rain.

Without any delay, Chen Fan waved his fists about. His fists were his strongest weapons.

Boom, tch!

A star exploded under his fists.

Boom, boom, boom!

Chen Fan’s fists flew in rapid succession, forming an unyielding defense; each blow carried the weight to split the sky itself, reducing the falling stars to fragments.

Rumble!

He punched again to shatter an oncoming star. However, his fist directly passed through the star.

“

Hmm

?” Chen Fan’s expression immediately changed.

It’s fake?

While he was momentarily distracted, another star came smashing toward him.

Rumble!

An indescribable force crashed against him. The Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron shattered instantly; the impact threatened to crush his very flesh, blood, and cells into nothingness.

He was blasted backward, spewing blood.

Outside, Huang Wuji and the others’ expressions changed drastically at the sight.

“Little Junior Brother!”

The crowd also erupted into chaos, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Finally, someone gasped in realization, their eyes filled with shock, and said, “Interesting. These stars... they’re both illusory and real. No wonder Chen Fan’s fist passed through earlier. It was fake, that’s why he was tricked!”

This was the true terror of Ye Kuang’s technique: weaving illusion and reality together. Chen Fan couldn’t differentiate between them, so Ye Kuang was effectively toying with him.

Boom, boom, boom!

Stars continued to rain down endlessly. Chen Fan steadied himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

“Interesting!”

Mixing real and illusory, huh?

He thought those stars were all real, yet that one illusion caught him off guard, costing him dearly. What made it worse was that the aura of the illusory star was utterly convincing, indistinguishable from reality.

“Too bad. If it were anyone else facing this attack, they’d already be played to death.”

Chen Fan looked at Ye Kuang, who was smiling coldly, and the corner of his lips curled into a mocking arc.

Eye of Breaking Deception, open!

Chen Fan shouted inwardly. The Eye of Breaking Deception snapped open, piercing through all falsehoods, exposing every illusion before him.

The rain of stars could no longer conceal itself beneath Chen Fan’s Eye of Breaking Deception.

Swish!

Chen Fan advanced against the wind, seeing through the stars.

He shattered the real stars with a punch and directly passed through the fakes, moving with ease through the rain of stars.

Ye Kuang’s face froze at this sight. He looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.

“How is this possible?”

He was well aware of the power of this move. Real and illusory intertwined into one seamless whole, making it impossible to distinguish. With it, he could trap opponents, seize the perfect opening, and trick them to their deaths. Seeing Chen Fan fall for it earlier had been proof enough.

But now, Chen Fan was like a fish in water, moving through those stars as if he had seen through his tricks. How was this possible?

It wasn’t only him; even the crowd outside was dumbfounded.
