Looking at the dazzling stream of stars expanding out around him, Hoult said calmly, “Did you know that long, long ago, there were countless dazzling milky ways in the skies above our heads? My Killing technique, Astral Tempest, was based on this.”

A Knight’s body and bones were extremely strong, many times more so than ordinary people. It was the same for their stem cells and osteoblasts.

Therefore, the rate at which their bones grew was much faster, and it was harder for them to suffer from fractures in comparison to ordinary people. Even if they suffer from fractures, they would recover faster.

Moreover, Hoult’s stream of stars was formed from osteoblasts, the ones which were eliminated from his body daily. After going through tempering by the Astral Tempest, the powers of ether particles were being channelled in.

Hoult’s Astral Tempest was being replenished by his osteoblasts daily, and after about every ten days, it would be swapped out completely. This meant that the strength of his Astral Tempest would continue to grow as he did.

Now, as a level 19 Knight at his peak, the Astral Tempest formed from Hoult’s osteoblasts would naturally also be at the level of a level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon.

Although Manny did not know of the Astral Tempest’s prowess, looking at that dazzling stream of stars, which filled up the place and was flashing a silvery white flow, made his brain send him signals of extreme danger continuously.

Standing at the center of the Astral Tempest, Hoult looked at the stream of stars surrounding him and said calmly, “Dance, stars.”

Boom! The next moment, the entire Astral Tempest seemed to turn into a tropical tempest from a calm sea surface. The stars soared up, bringing along the majestic prowess of a tsunami as it smashed toward Manny.

Each of the light spots had the strength of a level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon, and the prowess of each light spot was comparable to that of a bullet. Packed tightly, their combined prowess was like the majestic mountains and seas. They were not something the flesh could withstand against.

With a tremendous boom, Manny’s location was completely drowned by the Astral Tempest. However, with a turn of his head, Hoult looked toward his right, where Manny had dashed over to unknowingly.

A powerful palm hit out across space, and the violent gravitational field landed on Hoult, like a crane smashing down. Distinct air currents appeared all around Hoult’s body, and all of the Astral Tempest stars were pushed down to the ground in that instant.

The ground under Hoult’s feet broke into countless cracks, and his feet sank three inches into the ground. However, he was still unharmed. Let alone getting injured, he did not even bend his spine in the slightest.

“You attacked me again?” Hoult smiled. Then the Astral Tempest once again started to surround Manny again as though they had been summoned.

With a huge boom, countless silver spots of light clashed together furiously. It was as though Mars was colliding with Earth, but it was also as though several ten thousand thunder rumblings rang out all at once.

However, as the stars fell back, a dark black colored wall was revealed.

Before Manny was hit by the attack, he had released a punch and flipped up the ground’s surface. He then reinforced it with gravitational force, using it to block Hoult’s attack.

However, he had merely blocked off this one attack. Then in just a single second, the Astral Tempest shot out once again. Thrusting forth at a rate of a hundred thousand times per second, it crumbled the wall.

Manny leaped up, dodging the second attack from the Astral Tempest. However, Hoult merely smiled as he watched. From the beginning, he had kept his hands in the pockets of his Knight attire, watching on as the Astral Tempest attacked.

Manny leaped up high into the air, while countless spots of light gathered underneath him, waiting to launch the fatal attack when he landed.

“It’s over!”

“The powers, scope, and speed of the Astral Tempest are too powerful! Jumping into the air is like heading into a dead end.”

“These are Hoult’s abilities? To think that just earlier, I had thought Fang Xingjian would become number one. I’ve taken the legacy of a Divine level expert too lightly.”
