Chapter 1629: 1629. Out of control

"Victories!" Divine Demon shouted while raging waves of azure "Breath" shot forward.

Larger chunks of the world shattered and gave their energy to the currents. Those attacks enlarged and transformed, becoming different techniques that Divine Demon had used in the past.

Some of the currents became beams of higher energy that accelerated and surpassed the other techniques. Other waves of power transformed into weapons and shining lights.

Part of that energy even entered Divine Demon's body. It healed his injuries and enhanced his physical strength. His muscles bulged, and his size increased by a whole meter. His nails stretched and turned into tiny knives, and his canines grew until they peeked out of his mouth.

Wilfred's veins bulged. He gathered his physical strength, and the space in front of him bent.

Booming noises filled the sky as Divine Demon's techniques clashed with an invisible force. Multiple holes appeared on the array of azure and white energy. It was as if countless punches had slammed on the attacks and had stopped their charge.

Divine Demon shot forward and dived inside his azure energy. That power flowed inside his body and enhanced his morphed features. His fangs and nails grew, and his muscles also bulged until they inflated beyond human levels.

The azure energy began to rotate and transform into a whirlpool that stretched forward. Wilfred could see a monstrous figure at the center of those raging waters. Divine Demon wanted to have a physical contest!

"I don't know what happened to you," Wilfred sighed while bending his knees and crouching on the air, "But there aren't many creatures in the Immortal Lands that could face me at this distance."

Divine Demon appeared unable to hear those words. He continued to shoot forward, and the azure energy never stopped following him.

Wilfred leapt forward right before Divine Demon could stretch his claws toward him. The two experts clashed mid-air, and the power generated by the impact made the azure energy shoot in every direction.

Noah and the few experts in the duo's range had to deploy evasive maneuvers to dodge the threatening azure energy. That power still carried Divine Demon's aura even after the impact.

'Incredible,' Noah thought when he turned to look at the battle.

Wilfred had managed to stop Divine Demon's charge, but he found himself unable to push the cultivator back. Divine Demon was holding his ground, and his claws had also stabbed the hybrid's shoulders.

Divine Demon opened his mouth and bit on Wilfred's shoulder. His teeth managed to pierce that tough skin and rip away a large chunk of his flesh.

The azure energy that had shot in the distance flew back. Divine Demon's aura forced the world to provide more power that fused with his techniques and began to assault Wilfred.

Beams of higher energy, dense currents, flashes of azure light, and weapons of various sizes landed on Wilfred's body and riddled it with injuries. The hybrid spat blood, but he didn't move. He continued to keep Divine Demon's waist in his arms.

Wilfred's embrace tightened. His attack threatened to make Divine Demon's insides explode, but azure energy would constantly flow inside his body and reinforce his organs.

Meanwhile, Divine Demon continued to scratch, bite, and use his azure energy to attack his opponent. Wilfred's body soon became a mess of torn flesh and blood. Noah almost couldn't believe that such a strong hybrid had suffered so many injuries in such a short time.

Noah glanced at King Elbas, and the expert nodded. A series of inscribed items began to surround the cultivator, and a dark matter started to fill the battlefield.

It was clear that Divine Demon wasn't in control of his actions. Something had happened when Wilfred had pushed the limits of his law. That battle wasn't about the mission on the other side of the Immortal Lands anymore.

Wilfred was holding part of his power back since Divine Demon was an ally and a friend, but the situation would eventually force him to use lethal force.

Noah couldn't allow that. They had to stop Divine Demon before he killed someone or forced his allies to put an end to his life.

King Elbas shot higher in the sky while his hands moved at an unbelievable speed. Golden lines appeared in the air wherever his fingers passed, and a large formation slowly took form.

The various inscribed items deployed previously moved to the edges of the battlefield and acted as cores for the formation. The golden lines fused with their structure and drained their power to expand faster.

The unstable substance flowed inside Noah's black vessels as he shot toward Divine Demon. Snore, Duanlong, and Night flew out of his figure and dispersed in the sky as the dark world spread through the entire battlefield.

Divine Demon noticed those new threats, but everything suddenly stopped moving. His body didn't even answer his commands anymore. Something powerful was restraining him, but he couldn't understand the source of that technique.

Noah arrived on him in an instant. His hand closed on Divine Demon's throat, and Snore entangled its body on his figure. The two then dragged the expert higher on the sky and made him touch the golden lines.

Shandal's ability ran out at that point, and Divine Demon turned his attention on Noah. The cultivator waved his claws toward him, and his azure energy also flew upward to join the fight. Yet, Duanlong and Wilfred interfered.

Duanlong used its innate ability to absorb a large part of that power, but it couldn't affect the higher energy. Even the azure flashes were too fast for its suction force.

Wilfred took care of the attacks that escaped Duanlong's ability. His injuries didn't slow him down in the slightest. His punches flashed, and the attacks exploded before they could reach Noah.

Trails of energy still tried to converge toward Divine Demon, but massive fissures opened on those currents before they could obtain any purpose. Night was managing the parts of the battlefield that the others couldn't reach.

Snore bit on Divine Demon's upper body and endured the damage created by his claws. His hands could rip its flesh apart, but the Blood Companion was too big and resilient to care.

King Elbas completed his formation and pointed his hands toward Divine Demon. The inscribed items began to fly in a circle around the expert, and the golden lines attached to their structure quickly enveloped him in a shining cocoon.

The golden lines didn't touch Noah at all. They were ethereal shapes that took a physical form only when they landed on Divine Demon's body. Even Snore appeared immune to their power.

Divine Demon struggled to no end, but he couldn't do much without his azure energy. The cocoon closed on his figure and sealed him in a golden prison.

"Did you unlock some hidden potential?!" King Elbas shouted from high in the sky.

"He is probably unaware of this technique," Noah sighed while turning to help with the azure energy that still tried to converge on Divine Demon's position. "It seems that he can call upon everything generated through his law."

"He did beat Elbas in a contest of inscriptions some time ago," Wilfred commented, and the trio quickly turned toward the cocoon.

A small azure dot had appeared on those golden lines. That spot enlarged and covered half of the cocoon in no time. Cracks even opened in those tainted areas.
