Chapter 951: SCR Summit,Inspired Defense
"..." The black obelisk's light grew increasingly bright. As it did, a strong sense of tension began to throb inside the hearts of many young men and women. The two women below were outstanding in beauty, age, and talent, and while Wu Baozhai's sect was obscure, her cultivation base was not false.
The tragedy of Ye Ming was the cause, and their unsightly expressions were the effect! The thought of watching a Saintess ranked eighth crushed into unrecognizable meat, bone, and blood was heart-rending. However, a few of them prayed for that exact event to happen, especially the women who held jealous and envious thoughts towards the Saintesses.
"Alliance formed. Re-evaluated Entity Level: Greater Timelord." San Luoyang's voice announced! A leap from Lesser to Greater. While it might seem small, those aware of the measuring system of this archaic titling knew how incredible the difference was.
"Will Grand Monarch Wu be okay?" In a small area, there was a group of cultivators containing various races. Amongst them was an elven man whose eyes spewed out agitated concern. Seemingly, at the forefront of this group was a beautiful elven woman—Qin Rui.
She had an expression of absolute calmness as she responded, "Just watch." There was an unbreakable degree of confidence within her tone. Despite the difference between the two stages in cultivation, a normally insurmountable gap between cultivators, she didn't reveal the slightest trace of fear in her unwavering expression.
Since Wu Baozhai willingly accepted this alliance, Qin Rui trusted her completely!
That couldn't be said for the rest of the various organizations. The difference between the Gravity Emission Phase and the Temporal Eye Phase was a great chasm that very, very few have been able to cross in the known history of the stellar region. This stemmed solely from the difference between the Gravity Emission Phase and Realm World Phase, the absence of a genuine Worldly Domain!
Moreover, the Temporal Eye Phase only exaggerates the gap with time energy. There were various arts and spells that Timelords could use that those beneath the Temporal Eye Phase might find impossible to defend against. It wasn't looking too good for these two beauties in their eyes!
Bai Yuxi's emotions were thrown into disarray after Lin Xianxian's violent roasting, bringing to light a cruel reality. No one cared about her, not even the one who she risked herself for, almost sacrificed her soul for, and refused to claim her in any way. The storm of the once delightful memories of her and Lin Ming's adventures in the Devil War Realm ravaged her mind and stomped on her heart, becoming sour and painful.
However, the group's focus was already off her. The others were staring at the stage above them in heavy anticipation of the events to come. This was Wei Wuyin's concubine! There had been quite a few details leaked of her conquests and feats, taking down entire forces, claiming planets, and destroying experts with her army of dragons. A unique force that instilled a high degree of interest in them all.
"Is there an option to surrender?" Zhang Yang asked, his eyes reflecting the beautiful figures of Wu Baozhai. A surge of desire and admiration emerged in his heart. While Wu Baozhai wasn't famed or had any sort of tangible backing, her imperialistic aura and exceptional bearing were apparent in every breath she took.
Zhang Yang had asked solely because he felt that Wu Baozhai's death would be a depressing event, a real pity. He hoped there was an alternative. Unfortunately, just like the alliance feature, the information given by San Luoyang was extremely selective until relevant.
"Stop worrying about others. As our Chosen, you must represent us in the Main Hall. Use every battle to gauge these entities's level, properly estimate your own strength, and measure it to see if you would be able to triumph over your determined opponent." Lin Xianxian pointed out, giving all three Chosen, Lin Ming included, a warning gaze. They were the youngsters representing their sect, a World Sect of the Aeternal Sky Starfield. It would be humiliating if their Chosen weren't able to participate in preliminary discussions!
Their hearts pounded as the three Chosen grew solemn. She was right! They stared at the duo in the hopes of properly understanding these entities.
Soon, the Greater Timelord entity was fully formed before Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei. It took the shape of a woman, about five feet three inches, relatively short compared to the others. Like the others, she was wearing a half-faced balaclava, its visage entirely concealed.
At its back was a large quiver of arrows; the colorful fletchings were covered in runic markings. But it wielded no bow. Its appearance made most realize that the gender of the entity was likely determined by the challengers.
Wu Baozhai didn't delay bringing out her weapon as the entity was forming, not following the same mistake as Ye Ming. A halberd with a crescent blade was gripped tightly in her right hand, her stance was stable, and her eyes glowed with blazing spiritual light.
Xue Yifei didn't bring out any type of weapon. Her irises, however, slowly transitioned from their hazel color into a vibrantly demonic violet, and her pupils sharpened into draconic pupils suffused with great intensity. A series of faint draconic roars emanated from her, coinciding with her every breath.
There was no 'begin' announcement. In real battles of life and death, when will there be a signal to begin? As such, the entity waited for no man or god to give it orders and directly took action in the most expected manner! Its silver Worldly Domain unfurled, enveloping the entirety of the stage in an instant!
While the total area of the stage was a few hundred miles, the distance the Worldly Domain expanded vastly exceeded that limit, reaching twelve hundred kilometers!
Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei were within its range before they could even move! Those in the Eternal Monarch Sect's section felt their hearts in their throat. They didn't wish to see their Grand Monarch die brutally!
The Worldly Pressure crashed upon them mercilessly! Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei stood there, their eyes emanating a serenity unbefitting the scene of this tsunami of world-crushing power sieging them! Shockingly, the Worldly Pressure smashed against their bodies, and numerous cultivators gasped in horror!
When Su Mei fought against the Starlord, there wasn't a strong sense of stakes before, and the vast majority didn't understand the power of a 'Transcendent Starlord'. However, after Ye Ming's one-sided, absolutely pathetic death in the first second of battle, they fully understand the situation.
BOOM!!
The Worldly Pressure smashed against the stage, generating a large explosive boom! A wave of stage dust rose to shroud the bodies of the two women, their fates unknown! As the tensions in the hearts of spectators rose, some even averted their gazes, not wanting witness the bloody future they all expected.
A few felt it was ridiculous! Was the Everlore Association actually going to try and kill Wei Wuyin's concubine? It felt extremely unlikely, so they watched, expecting Xue Yifei to survive through the association's intervention.
Shockingly, as the dust settled, the two women were standing there—unharmed! Just like Su Mei, they remained untouched by the torrential Worldly Pressure as if it didn't exist! The two looked toward each other, seeing the distinct power emanating from their eyes.
It was Worldly Power!
They didn't communicate in any way, but they fully understood that they both had grasped Su Mei's unique application of her Worldly Domain! During the week after Su Mei's victory, every cultivator used this time to either refine energies to supplement their cultivation base or comprehend the intricacies of Su Mei's battle.
While most were focused heavily on the strike, these two acutely realized that Su Mei's initial defense was just as, if not, more profound! Both of them were extremely intelligent and posessed acute senses; they knew that no matter how fast Su Mei cultivated, reaching the foundation of eighty thousand kilometers in one's Worldly Domain was an utterly impossible feat in seven years, even with Wei Wuyin's support.
After all, cultivators had to refine pure energies or alchemical products to increase their Worldly Domain size. There simply wasn't enough time, even if she devoured ninth-grade products for seven whole years. Therefore, Su Mei must've used a unique art to cancel out the Worldly Pressure of her opponent.
They reflected on this several times, trying to decipher the profoundness of her actions. Coincidentally, they both did so at the same time! With confidence, they moved to challenge their opponent.
Witnessing the two unharmed, the crowd was stunned into total silence. Worldly Pressure was assaulting them, yet they remained completely unmoved!
"How are they doing this?!" Lin Ming was astonished. He could feel the overbearing Worldly Pressure emitted by the Greater Timelord entity, and it was enough to crush him into meat paste if he didn't establish his strongest Astral Ward, reinforcing it with his False Worldly Domain and Origin Spear's innate power. However, these two women were doing it! Were their bodies that tough?
"A World Armor?" Lin Xianxian immediately answered, awed by this strange application of worldly power. As an Ascended being, she could see clearly how Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei were defending against the Worldly Pressure. Around the two, pulsating waves of short-range emissions of Worldly Power were endlessly unleashed. It fended off the Worldly Pressure of the entity.
This kept happening continuously at high intervals and with extreme speed, using the smallest amount of power to push back a significant degree of force.
"They're using the initial power of unleashing their Worldly Domain?" Lin Xianxei instantly caught on to her mother's words. The strongest surge of worldly power was during the unfurling of a Worldly Domain, and the concept of using it as a defense was unheard of. Yet, it was this initial pushing power that allowed cultivators to defend against sudden ambushes if enveloped by an enemy's Worldly Domain.
"Over and over," Lin Xianxian added with amazement laced in her tone. What a method! But to do so, they needed to have a Worldly Domain! And not a false one, but one where their control was as natural as their breathing, keeping up a consistent pace.
The Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill!
It was reasonable for Xue Yifei to obtain one, but who was the other woman? Was she someone close to Wei Wuyin too?
With the threat of a swift defeat via Worldly Domain removed, the two could hold their own against the Greater Timelord entity's greatest advantage, and as such, the real battle was about to begin!
The Greater Timelord entity lifted its hand towards the duo. With a shimmer of spiritual light, a longbow formed.
WOOSH!
Without any indication of an arrow being nocked or fired, one flew through the air at mind-boggling speeds, its tip glinting with spiritual force as it aimed for Wu Baozhai's forehead!
