Chapter 938
(Unedited)
…
Suddenly, the dark beam became more powerful than it has ever was and it immediately destroyed Shin Jiao's barrier.
As the beam got stronger and more powerful the array surrounding the cavern was also damaged. Without the regenerative effect of the array, the cavern ceiling and walls began to crumble under the powerful blast from the dark beam.
Shin Jiao's figure was pushed through the wall as he tried to resist a large amount of dark energy hitting him.
Ka-boom!!!
A loud explosion happened that sent Shin Jiao's figure flying out of the cavern and into the forest outside.
The cavern began to collapse and Ruel has a look of slight panic in her eyes. She was not able to control herself and used around 80% of her power at that attack.
But seeing the figure floating in the air with a tattered appearance, she seems to not be contented.
"You're still able to move?" she said with a frown.
Shin Jiao did not say anything and just looks at her.
Ruel is floating in the air then turned her gaze to the ruined part of the mountain with a deep frown.
She then turns to look at Shin Jiao and suddenly vanished from her spot.
It was too fast, and she suddenly appears behind Shin Jiao then sent a kick in his direction.
Swoosh!!!
Wham!
His quick kick was sent in Ruel's blind spot which made her unable to notice it.
It was too quick that it sent her crashing to the ground.
Crack! Crack!
From that impact alone she has already suffered some bone fractures. But then once again her regenerative ability activates which heals her body.
"Haha… Powerful, but futile…" she said with a smirk as she once again floated in the air.
Suddenly, Shin Jiao extended his psychokinesis and held her in place.
This made her look at him in alarm. No matter how hard she struggles, she could not move any parts of her body.
"Is this the limit of your power?" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.
"Damn it! You dare hold this god in contempt! I will teach you how powerful I truly am!" she shouted as the energy began to surge from inside her body.
As it increases Shin Jiao could feel the strange power trying to obstruct his hold on Ruel.
"I am the god of this world!!!" she shouted as the powerful energy erupted out of her body.
The shock wave sent Shin Jiao flying over a couple of meters as he found himself spewing a mouthful of blood. His mind was a bit affected by that energy which he knew is not normal energy from a nascent realm expert.
"That power… that energy surge belongs to a saint level being…" Shin Jiao thought as he realizes something.
Then his eyes landed on the ruined cave. He could now perceive a trace of black energy coming from that place which is connected to the body of Ruel.
"So it's really true that those two have reached the Saint realm…" he thought as a hint of excitement appears on his face.
In Shin Jiao's mind, he already has an idea of what to do next. If he could get the physical body of either Ruel or Agus, then he could have a large amount of energy that would enable him to reach the Saint realm. Though that would take time, yet with the presence of such a thing, then how could he miss this chance?
Plus he could sense that this Ruel, has aligned himself with the demons and the shadow beings. So taking his power is just the right thing to do, right?
With this conjecture, Shin Jiao suddenly darted towards the cave.
"How dare you?!" he shouted in anger as he chased after Shin Jiao.
Boom!!!
Two figures once again return to the underground cavern.
They continue fighting in close combat, but Ruel is the one suffering more hits and her beautiful face is now filled with stain marks of dried blood.
Her eyes turned black as she released her full power.
At this time, Shin Jiao is panting and looking weak while standing in front of Ruel's statue. His right hand is supporting his figure while his left hand is on his left leg as if he is trying to make himself not fall down.
Through the exchange between them, he has suffered multiple concussions and wounds on his body. With the restriction of this world, how could he fight with his real strength? He is bound to only show the strength of a Grand Magus which is a far cry to the power of an Elemental Lord or Nascent Realm expert.
"Hehe… Are you ready to give up yet?" she said while walking leisurely towards Shin Jiao.
"I will not go down without a fight you know…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.
"Haha… Rubbish! You are a mere Grand Magus. How can you contest with my strength?" she said with a mocking tone.
"But I would agree that your physical strength is far superior to mine. Without my healing innate ability, then I would have already been beaten by you. But fighting against me was the mistake that you have made. You could have grown to be more powerful, but instead chooses death in this place… Haha… Goodbye!" Ruel said while she began to gather her dark energy once again.
Upon seeing this, Shin Jiao's left hand left his left leg and began throwing formation flags on the ground. Then he chanted a spell which created a powerful barrier in front of him. Beside the barrier, he waves his hand, and from his dimension metal parts appear and began to converge covering almost his whole body.
This made him look like a heavily armored knight.
When Ruel saw this, her eyes squinted, and then she decided to go all out. If not then she could guess that with only 80 or 90% of her power it would not be enough to kill this guy.
She is not worried about the statue behind him as she knew how strong those things are.
After the two finished their preparation, Ruel suddenly extended her arm and with a flash appears in front of Shin Jiao's barrier.
She exerted all of her strength to punch through the barrier.
"Release…"
Her expression changes upon hearing those words from Shin Jiao. In her mind, she is thinking.
"Is he crazy? Did he really want to die? If so then I would just oblige then… Hihi…"
Without the barrier, she easily punches towards Shin Jiao's c.h.e.s.t.
But then another thing happened. Shin Jiao's right hand which is supporting his figure while holding on to the statue behind him was suddenly extended forward.
That right arm is already covered in metal which looks like an arm of a golem.
It was all really quick when her hand was grabbed by him. She could then feel the energy in her right hand increasing tenfold.
It seems that the metallic arm is supplying more energy on her power.
"Fool!" she thought.
But then, she saw Shin Jiao's body shifting to the side. Then it was already too late. Her fist which is covered with 100% of her dark energy power combines with the boost of 10 times over hits the surface of the statue.
Ka-Boom!!!
It resulted in a very loud explosion which sent Shin Jiao's body flying towards the cavern wall.
"Nooo!!!" a painful cry coming from Ruel echoed inside the ruined cavern.
Shin Jiao saw it clearly. The impact force shattered the surface of the statue which then emits a powerful blast that made Ruel seem to look like he was stunned. Then suddenly a powerful suction force coming from the statue occurred.
Ruel's body was slowly stripped of her flesh as everything is being s.u.c.k.e.d inside the statue which began to crumble.
Then her bones and inner organs were absorbed further as the statue shatters.
Now in front of Shin Jiao, he could see a small wormhole that is trying to suck in everything within 5 meters of its vicinity.
From the looks of it, it seems that the other statue of Agus is canceling the range of the black hole's suction force.
Upon seeing this, Shin Jiao is not actually afraid. He knew that inside that black hole thingy is the physical body of Ruel.
And true to what he is thinking, from the whole, he suddenly noticed a body cloth in white lying inside the hole as if he is just sleeping.
As Shin Jiao observes further, he could clearly see that inside the black hole there is another creature. It is formed from the shadows and it looks like a small demon.
The demon is trying to escape through the black hole, but it seems that it could not because of the suction force.
"I guess… if I wanted to get the price, I still have to work hard on it…" Shin Jiao muttered as his figure suddenly flashes towards the black hole.
While running towards it, something came out from his dimension and he immediately jumps inside its c.o.c.kpit.
