Chapter 1990 - We'll Split Later?

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse was just about to use his hand to pick the lot when he noticed two figures entering the battle stage. He raised his head, wanting to berate when he saw their identities, becoming tongue-tied. The words he had in his throat were swallowed before he turned to look at the Mandate Emperor.

Was it okay to flout the rules like this?

After all, one must be challenged in order to battle. However, he didn't receive any kind of reply or even a subtle gesture from the Mandate Emperor or the Karmic Guardian Emperor that he could only decide for himself. Clenching his teeth, he used his hand to pick the lot and saw that it was number seven.

He took it out and displayed it, causing Davis and Ellia to notice.

Davis's lips curled. It seemed his luck was better than Ellia's or was it Myria's?

He didn't know but raised his and pointed, "Myria, I challenge you to a battle."

Ellia blinked before she shook her head, "No, I will battle you, Pr- Davis."

Her melodious voice echoed with a tone of necessity.

Davis mildly clenched his mouth before a wry smile encumbered his expression.

Ellia's stubbornness was not something he was foreign to. However, he knew how to break it but with Ellia asking for a battle with him after a long time; he was unable to reject.

'Well, Myria will come out sooner or later...'

However, the people couldn't understand Fairy Myria's words. Did she agree to the battle or not?

"Wait."

At this moment, the Starnova Emperor stood up, causing countless heads to turn towards him as they saw him speaking with the Mandate Emperor.

"Use the Greater Starlight Illumination Barrier."

The Mandate Emperor and the Karmic Guardian Emperor nodded before the three of them poured their energy into the core that the Starlight Emperor had taken out.

*Rumble!~*

The previous barrier that had been destroyed became replaced with another barrier. It illuminated the night sky while it absorbed energy from the stars. Of course, its main source of energy was the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources underneath, but the energy the barrier absorbed from the stars in the night sky was also a kind of law that strengthened it. Although the input was less, it made the barrier complex and strong in accordance with three laws, namely, Light Laws, Fire Laws, and Yang Laws, able to withstand attacks that were one level higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage, perhaps even two levels above.

This maneuver didn't make the crowd nervous but made them feel incredibly excited. It also caused them to feel grateful towards the Great Righteous Sects. After all, if they could view these battles up close, their own realm might rise if they chanced upon an insight while taking inspiration from the battles.

To use the Greater Starlight Illumination Barrier that was reserved for the Ninth Stage Segment, it was meant to say that the two of their levels already reached that kind of level. No, when Rayn Shard and Fairy Myria, Adlet Rayburn and Yin Lotus Fairy fought, their battles had already reached this level.

It was only after the barrier was destroyed did the authorities want to use this formation. However, could it still hold against these two supreme geniuses?

Although they were worried, they didn't tend to overlook that danger as the authorities would protect them!

"Hehe~"

Ellia giggled while Davis also shook his head. It seemed like they were prepared to sacrifice one of their expensive formations and prepared to spend more money to protect the people from harm, allowing them to watch their battle up close.

He couldn't understand such extravagant spending, but perhaps that's why they were the leaders of the human race.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse saw the barrier almost closing. However, his senses suddenly caught a peculiar yet vague undulation. He looked down at the box. If he was not wrong, he felt that it came from inside.

Did someone actually tamper with it?

How could it even be possible?

His brows narrowed in anger. Unable to quell his curiosity, he threw his hands inside and rummaged, picking the remaining lot. He didn't bring it out for fear of repercussions but sent his soul force to image the lot when he became astonished.

"Hm? Why is Fairy Myria's number burned?"

He could see the traces of a number, but it was not clear enough to be called a number. It was only because Fairy Myria was the only remaining opponent other than the Yin Lotus Fairy could he determine that the number belonged to Fairy Myria.

Who would do this?

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes at the Emperor of Death. Even if he wanted to burn it, there was no need to, right? After all, even if Fairy Myria was chosen, she could only challenge him since Natalya was already challenged while Adlet Rayburn lost.

"Alright, announce the start of the battle."

Starnova Emperor spoke with an authoritative voice once the Greater Starlight Illumination Barrier became completely active. He no longer lamented as he had completely accepted the fact that the younger generation had long left them in the dust.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse had already dropped Fairy Myria's lot inside, not bothering to reveal anything. He didn't want to offend the Emperor of Death, especially when it seemed to be a childish action. Perhaps, it was his way of saying that she wouldn't need the lot after this battle.

"Let the battle begin."

The hand that was raised dropped with incomparable resoluteness that said he wouldn't bat an eye even if the whole battle stage ended up being destroyed!

Davis and Ellia moved. They flew towards each other instead of rushing before stopping with only a distance of ten meters between them.

"You have grown beautiful, Ellia."

"Hehe, you have grown handsome too~"

"…"

Davis and Ellia spoke with a faint chuckle, causing the crowd to become dumbfounded.

Wasn't it said that these two were enemies? Why were they flirting?

"Could it be that the thing she stole? It was his heart?"

A person blurted out. His voice wasn't loud, but it sure did fall on the ears of many as they turned to look at him. That person hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting to be identified, especially because the gazes of the two supreme geniuses also fell on him.

Davis was just about to laugh when a flash of light shot towards him.

*Bang!~*

Davis instinctively waved his hand, clashing with a spear of light that shattered upon impact. He then looked at his hand that was unharmed before casting a glance at Ellia, who reset her posture, standing with her hands on her lips.

"Oops. That… wasn't-"

"I know."

Davis nodded before he smiled, "I know we should battle instead of banter. Isn't that right?"

Ellia awkwardly smiled as she nodded her head.

"As for you, no need to become fidgety. I'll get what you stole from me one day, and that day might not be far off than you think."

Davis spoke, but the icy-blue-robed figure in front of him shook her head, "Davis, I've already said that I don't need your help. In fact, you should trust me that we'll split later."

"Split? And I should take your word for it?"

Davis laughed before martial energy surged out of his body, emitting the aura of a dragon. It didn't stop but formed a five-kilometer brownish-golden sphere that twisted the space before it became stable.

"It's been so many years since we fought that I'm unfortunately lacking the heart to believe. Prove it that you can divide through your own strength."

"Very well~"

Ellia took a deep breath before her aura became incomparably heavy as martial energy surged out, forming a Perfect Martial Domain that shook many hearts.

"…!"

The Mandate Emperor, Karmic Guardian Emperor, and the Starnova Emperor's expressions sharply fell as they sensed their undulations.

As expected, both of them possessed power rivaling them with nothing but their Eighth Stage Body Tempering Cultivation!
