Chapter 384 - Sleep Awakening

The shattering of the sky above caused all of the beings that were fighting to pause and look up to the sky.

Their expressions change when they look up, experiencing an invisible pressure descending down on them from those three colossal figures.

This was precisely true for Yun Ming and the others who with their high spiritual power could sense these beings were God-level beings.

And they had a feeling they weren't God Officers like the Calamities but far further into the rank.

In the next second, the broken sky began mending itself, restoring itself fully. Before the bleak sky began to turn dark-purple, a dark aura descending down and enveloping everything.

The frightening aura swept over causing the whole flake to continuously shake as it began to produce ominous cracks on the ground. The Arkadians and Mortuus, which were enveloped by the aura, started to gain vicious cracks on themselves.

Even as they desperately tried to resist the aura with their power, they found it was almost futile as they all felt themselves kneeling.

If that wasn't enough, it forces them to worship the aura; the crushing pressure wasn't giving them any choice in the matter. Even Soul Masters were being forced to kneel as the aura passed by them while the abyssal creatures felt themselves being boosted from the aura.

The entire plane was started to become enshrouded in the dark-purple darkness before a piercing light erupts outwards, smashing into the oppressive darkness.

Before continuing to forcefully push the dark purple aura away from the Arkadians with some of it going straight to the abyssal creature.

When the light touched the abyssal creatures, they began to burn and pierce through them causing the abyssal creature to cry out. This went on for a bit before the dark purple aura moved over to clash with the pale white aura, pushing it off the abyssal creatures.

While also healing the ones that were damaged and kneeling on the ground.

But it wasn't just a piercing light but also pitch-black darkness that swept over. Pushing the dark-purple aura away from the helpless Mortuus creatures.

Before then moving down on the two auras that were clashing and smashing into them.

The instant these auras clashed, an invisible domain was formed, constructing a space that was divided by these three auras.

The floor was divided by dark-purple, ivory-black, and pale white lights with a gale stirring up powerful winds and storms that engulfed the place.

The hills that were scattered around, the mountains that were towering above all of them instantly exploded.

The ground below started to produce fissures that ran through the floor, with the sky shaking and forming cracks.

One had to remember the floors were a part of the Sage King, so naturally, they weren't fragile and pretty sturdy.

Yet the formless clash between the three has been shaking the world. Producing astonishing destruction that caused severe damage to the land.

But if that wasn't enough, at the center of their clash, the reality was being warped as space started to collapse.

Before the sounds of something shattering rang out as a terrifying shockwave erupted from the center of the aura clash. Producing a violent wave that swept through everyone, f_o_r_c_i_b_l_y pushing and flinging them away.

Even the tower vine that had already gained crack from the clashes of the aura was swept away with the figure inside being flung. Even though none of the three beings attacked, just their formless clash of their divine senses was able to cause such terrifying damage.

Perfectly showing how those in the god level with just a thought, could easily eradicate the world in an instant.

"Damn it. Just the clash of their divine senses could cause this much damage."Muttered Cao Dezhi as he pushed himself up while staring at the severely damaged floor in slight shock.

"I know, they are far stronger than the Calamities... They might even be second-class gods."Zheng Huanyuan muttered as dusted himself off.

"Their rank doesn't matter right now, where is Tang Wulin? We have to grab him and go."

Yun Ming said as he began to look all around for Tang Wulin with the others nodding their head as they also joined. It only took them a few seconds to find the still meditating Tang Wulin, who was in the far distance from them.

"There."

"Okay, let's grab him and escape."

As they swiftly began moving towards Tang Wulin that was meditating even with ash and dust all over him.

The three beings above were staring at each other, their divine sense preventing the other from weakening their forces and boosting their own.

But the Sage King was focusing on something else.

More specifically, someone as his eyes narrowed at the sight of Tang Wulin who was sitting down even with the three First Class Gods above him.

'So he really did invade... is he trying to undergo a breakthrough? Not only that but why does he feel so weird.' Thought the Sage King in bewildering confusion as he stared at Tang Wulin.

The Sage King couldn't put his finger on it but he felt like Tang Wulin was similar to him but at the same time more transcendent.

He knew he would have an easier time figuring out why if he could scan Tang Wulin with his divine sense. But it was preoccupied with combatting the other two beings' own divine sense and helping him predict any sneak attacks.

This still didn't stop the Sage King's eyes from gleaming with killing intent as he recalled how Tang Wulin and that ape pushed back his hand. As well as invaded and started destroying the abyssal floors which were made out of his being.

Gripping his halberd, the Sage King immediately brandished it, hacking forward. Dark-purple radiance hacked apart the skies, extending thousands of kilometers across as it descended down upon Raaul and Klun.

This entire sky was illuminated before it started collapsing.

Raaul, as if it already foresaw the attack, had already erupted in a pale light as specks of light began to shine dazzlingly in its hand. They were dazzling and brilliant, countless stars were formed in its spinning and releasing a rumbling sound.

This was the power of First Class Stars, able to destroy and create stars with a wave of their hand.

Raaul swiped its hand causing the vast amounts of luminous stars to rumble their way over to the dark-purple radiance. They all moved in a singular path, directing a flowing stream of stars that rushed onward.

While Klun simply struck out with a palm, which began to alter the flow of time and space as their fluctuations began to rush onward.

As if space and time had been focused on this strike, a gigantic vortex of space and time was formed as it rushed over.

All of these attacks clashed with others, once again shaking and severely damaged the floor.

All of the creatures that were near this confrontation were all turned into dust, crumbling, and were erased.

But it was then he felt space around him being locked down as multiple portals appeared all around him, that was shining with energy. They all blasted out with beams of piercing light but the Sage King only responded by sweeping over with his halberd.

The halberd began ruthlessly tearing and slash through space, shattering the beams of light and turning them into nothing while space broke.

But it was then that the Sage King noticed In his surroundings, the laws and dark elements around were beginning to interweave.

Heaven and earth power began moving down on him causing his body to tremble uncontrollably as it started to try and burn him alive.

Unfortunately, that only lasted for a second before the law and dark element was suppressed as destruction aura exploded from the Sage King.

The Sage King then hacked down with his halberd that released a terrifying amount of destructive energy. just as pure white raging flames moved down him, coming from above him.

It was burning with the elements of space and time, making even Sage King shiver as it could imagine what would happen if it touched. The destruction energy clashed with the space-time fluctuations that began to distort the void around the Sage King.

The Sage King continued to charge forward while halberd whipped out, slashing and sweeping majestically around him. Combating all of the attacks that Raaul and Klun were sending towards him as they chased after him.

It only took them a few seconds to reach the body of Tang Wulin, with the Sage King hacking down on Tang Wulin with his halberd.

It devoured everything. The area where it passed had been stripped of all of its elements, law, and energy before turning dark.

While the halberd exploded out with a dark-purple aura that shined like a purple sun, that began demolishing everything in its way.

In the next instant, they collided!

The attacks sent a powerful shockwave through the floor just from its first clash that reduced all those who were below Title Douluo to dust.

Countless tornados began forming as the floor began shaking severely. With lightning crackling in the sky from the purple and murky clouds that had mysteriously formed a second ago.

The halberd was erupting out with horrifying killing energy, to the point it started to make every single creature on the floor shiver in fright. While the broad sword that wasn't sharp but extremely thick and heavy was releasing constant malevolent energy.

These two weapons produced a space around them that was closed from the world, as they continued their violent clash for dominance.

The Onyx Cal moved, divine consciousness, and dark radiance surging. It began pressing onward, wishing to ruthlessly tear and devour everything in its path.

While the Heaven Saint Cracked Abyss began to release even more energy as if the fact it was being confronted stirred up its might. All of its killing and destruction energy was being completely released, displaying the might that could crush the stars, suns, and even the solar system.

Had they not constructed a space around them, the whole abyssal floor would have long since been destroyed and crushed to pieces.

The clash between Ultra Divine Weapons was not something a normal plane or the world could endure.

Sword, divine, destruction and dark energy rushed through space in various forms. Washing over the whole space with various energies as they tried suppressing the other.

It was just a single strike, yet it produced such massive disasters that could erase all living things on a planet and even the planet itself.

This clash continued for a bit before it died down as the halberd and broad sword was pulled back causing the unique space to collapse.

With both of these Ultra Divines hacking down, moving towards Klun who had appeared in front of Tang Wulin while the clashes happened.

Klun was forced to stop its movement, producing a gigantic portal behind it as it unleashed a stream of space-time energy. While also turning around and striking out with its two palms that formed two fluctuating vortexes.

The broad sword descends down, rushing to cleave through the relentless stream of space and time.

But in the next second, the broadsword and streams of space-time energy froze. It wasn't just them but also Raaul and Klun's figure as they found themselves being momentarily suppressed before the space around them warped.

In the next instance, they found themselves fifty thousand kilometers away from where they were on the east. It only took them an instant to realize that the Sage King utilized his realm to freeze and transport them away from the area.

So he could get Tang Wulin without any interference causing them to silently curse as they prepare to break out of this.

But it was then, they found themselves being unfrozen.

With their attacks moving forward and them not having enough time to stop the clashes that happened in the next second.

While that was happening, the Sage King was moving towards Tang Wulin, looking at him the same way one would look at a freshly cooked meal.

"While you may have caused me a ton of trouble. I'm sure you can make it up by becoming food for my ascension."

Tang Wulin didn't say anything as he continued sitting down with his eyes closed. But the Sage King didn't mind this as he swept onward with his halberd, slicing through space once again.

But it was then a gigantic hole began to form behind Tang Wulin, moving towards the Sage King, wishing to devour him.

"Oh? Are you those things called Spirit Souls from that plane, I can sense how you're tied to his soul."

The Sage King spoke out as he watched his halberd cutting through the black hole in front of him, with blood splashing out.

A deafening roar rang out.

"Too bad you're far too weak to be of any help, although you did buy him a second."

The Sage King saw that Tang Wulin's body had been moved, eyes narrowing and he saw a deer-like creature running forward with Tang Wulin on her back.

"Futile."

The Sage King stretched his hand reached over, it started to enlarge itself, instantly reaching over the height of a kilometer.

It carried a dark-purple color that was shimmering around the hand as it started to crush space under its might.

This type of scenery was extremely terrifying, the Sage King hand had already reached the area where Sleipnir was. Before it started releasing a relentless pressure that started to lock down space around Sleipnir.

Yet Sleipnir didn't give up as her eyes began to shine brilliantly before a domain began to erupt from her.

'Space-Time Channel.'

The Sage King watched in slight surprise as he felt the domain produced by Sleipnir was starting to f_o_r_c_i_b_l_y reverse his actions.

"Your ability has even touched upon the concept of time and history? While not even being a god? Fascinating, absorbing him will definitely allow me to gain your knowledge."

It was then that the palm of the Sage King began to erupt with destruction energy that instantly blasted through the barrier.

Sleipnir Space-time Channel domain was returned into space and time fluctuations in a single motion from the Sage King attack.

This led to Sleipnir flinching as felt a slight backlash before the area around her instantly exploded.

Rubbles and rocks flew everywhere as the whole ground erupt upwards. The figure of Sleipnir was rolling and tumbling before she was stopped by a bunch of vines that moved out of the cracks, catching her.

She tried to get up before it was then a foot was pressed down on her head, forcefully pushing her into the cracked ground.

"Stay down, little deer. Soon you will be a part of me."

The Sage King poured some of his divine senses over Sleipnir, barring her down before moving towards Tang Wulin, halberd in his hand.

Sleipnir forces herself to move but found it impossible to resist the overwhelming pressure of the Sage King divine sense. Knowing she couldn't escape this predicament, she tried to summon vines and roots around to help delay the Sage King.

"Really? You are still trying."

The Sage King shook his head and snapped his finger causing all of the vines that were shooting towards him from the ground.

To be instantly destroyed as he moved toward Tang Wulin, only a few inches away.

"No!"

But as the Sage King got close, vines instantly erupted from Tang Wulin's body, moving towards him and wrapping around him.

While turning the whole area around them into green-colored with plants appearing and spreading around him.

"Another domain? And you guys are still trying to resist?"

The Sage King once again swiped his hand causing everything around to shatter, all of the leaves and plants on the ground turned to dust. While life and vital energy that was spreading around had swiftly turned into nothingness.

While this happened, a towering figure appeared behind Tang Wulin, instantly grasping him and punching through space.

It was none other than Bahamut.

"Not so fast."

Before the dragon could escape through space with Tang Wulin, it felt itself freeze as a halberd appeared through it.

Yet the Dragon only gritted its teeth before hurling Tang Wulin's body through space, wanting at least him to escape.

"Again, I said not too fast."

Right before Tang Wulin's body could go through the cracked space, it began to f_o_r_c_i_b_l_y close and mend itself. Just as Tang Wulin reached, passing through where the crack was and landing on the cracked ground again.

"Honestly, you pests are lucky I'm not destroying you now."

The Sage King muttered as he pulled the halberd out of Bahamut before locking him down with his divine sense.

The Sage King didn't say any words as he reached Tang Wulin, he simply hacked down with his halberd, slicing through space.

Sleipnir and Bahamut watched wide eyes as the halberd hacked into the head of Tang Wulin, releasing an ear-splitting sound.

Yet the unexpected happened that shocked not only them but even the Sage King.

The Heaven Saint Cracked Abyss had stopped at Tang Wulin head, not going into or through him.

"...What?"

The Sage King muttered as moved his halberd away while staring at Tang Wulin in disbelief before hacking out once again. His halberd swept onward, slashing through space and striking Tang Wulin's neck.

Another ear-splitting sound rang out.

But just like before, the halberd stopped at the neck of Tang Wulin, not going past or through.

"What!"

The Sage King roared out in anger and disbelief as pulled back the halberd before hacking down on Tang Wulin. Yet every time he did, the halberd wasn't able to fully go through Tang Wulin and would simply be stopped at his skin.

Even when the Sage King utilizes the destruction energy of the halberd, the same thing happened while energy scattered from Tang Wulin body. The Sage King was beyond pissed, whipping, striking, and hacking out with his halberd. It was only after a few more strikes that the sounds of something shattering happened.

It wasn't Tang Wulin body but a thin veil of light around him that would have confused the Sage King if he wasn't so angry. Enraged at the fact this pest with broken cultivation was able to withstand hits from his halberd which can cut through even dimensions.

Not even the strongest armor, such as Ultra Divine could fully protect one from his halberd might, let alone a person's body.

Cursing to himself, he pulled back the halberd while charging up a terrifying attack that turned the sky dark-purple.

"Will you just die-"

The Sage King didn't finish his sentence as half of his face and c_h_e_s_t were blown away, with blood splashing out. The halberd in his hand froze in mid-air as the Sage King tried to comprehend what just happened.

Black blood was spilling from his body, leaking down his clothing, but he was staring at the body of Tang Wulin that was stirring gently.

And then he saw the eyes of Tang Wulin opening up.

Serene golden-blue eyes that had a hint of scarlet and madness in them stared at him, eyes that left him horrified.

Before a fist smashed into the Sage King, instantly plunging him down into the ground, reducing the whole area, and causing countless fissures to form.

But if that wasn't enough, a leg was lifted up before it was smashed down, further reducing the whole area around.
