Chapter 1858: Fire And Lightning

Jambei landed beside the battle stage as he was sent out after voluntarily giving up. He elegantly floated before looking towards his Ascending Path Sect, looking at their different expressions.

However, there was one person who seemed to be fuming the most.

“This bastard… he gave up again…!”

The Sect Master angrily stood up and pointed at him, causing him to look away as though he hadn’t done anything wrong before he panned his gaze through the crowd. Hearing their crazy roars, his heart was set ablaze. They were applauding him, some screaming not to be disheartened as he was plenty strong, causing him to wave his hands at some women when a cacophony of screams resounded in response.

‘I thought so… she’s special… always looking as though nothing could truly shake her psyche…’

He thought, turning to look at the projection of the woman who defeated him, feeling his heart set ablaze for her.

While the crowd was cheering with crazy roars, Clara felt like she couldn’t use her Transcendent Truth Eyes, so she revealed her Ice Phoenix Flame Wisps that shocked the crowd.

However, revealing the Ice Phoenix Flame Wisps was trouble, but to her, it was merely a case of what’s more dangerous, so she chose the least dangerous action to take.

Revealing her Transcendent Truth Eyes could end up fatal, but that was not the case for revealing Ice Phoenix Flames because her brother was there to protect her. Never mind his presence, his sole reputation as a mysterious cultivator of death would keep even the strongest here away from her, but if she revealed her Transcendent Truth Eyes, what would follow was a tough future for her in the immortal world as ascendants might spread information about her.

Nevertheless, she was satisfied with this battle, but it wasn’t about Jambei but her own strength.

The best part was that she found that her Mandate Laws were not overly yin or yang in nature like the other laws because she realized that it was almost perfectly balanced, achieving both yin and yang balance. This made it possible for her domains to be superimposed and achieve maximum output instead of the powers clashing in incompatibility, lowering her prowess.

When she asked herself why, she arrived at the answer that although Mandate Laws seemed forceful, making others obey her words through force, which meant yang in nature, she also knew that if stated a condition, it would inevitably make her commands even more powerful, and that is yin in nature, having others comply to the command and inflict instead of being forceful.

However, when she compared to her fellow disciples in the Heaven Mandate Temple, she understood that they mostly didn’t have the ability to place a condition. They merely stayed on the yang aspect or the yin aspect, with most of them staying in the yang aspect, being forceful with their commands.

She had rarely seen them issuing commands on the yin spectrum, allowing her to comprehend that her Transcendent Truth Eyes was extremely unique, causing her to comprehend both the yin and yang aspect of the Mandate Laws while making her understand the intricacies behind it easily.

As for the formless might and the Embolden Technique she used, they were two of the many techniques she learned from the Heaven Mandate Temple. Before that, she didn’t even know how to control her Mandate Laws other than using them with words.

Her gaze then left the place where Jambei disappeared before she looked at the other confrontations nearing their climax.

“No, you’re not running!”

Drake Blackburn shot towards Ulyzen, who decided to escape upon noticing that Jambei had disappeared. Without support, he knew that he would fail. Therefore, he quickly rushed out and thereby started the collapse of the alliance.

Kritika, who fought Kara Moonridge and was on the losing end, also didn’t dare to stay as she shot in the opposite direction.

As for Hayou Azureclaw, he looked at Mu Bing’s complex and icy defense that he couldn’t cleave apart and quickly fled upon noticing the others fleeing. It was as though the butterfly effect was unleashed upon the defeat of one man and three Perfect Domain Cultivators, causing all of them to fend for themselves as they escaped.

“Kill!”

At this moment, Niera unleashed her destructive flames, condensed into one single ball that exploded on four Perfect Domain Cultivators while Sophie trapped them all with her defensive armaments like shields, hammers all over the place in the surrounding five-kilometer region.

Their two fire attribute domains overwhelmed the opponent’s two water domains and two earth domains, causing them to be able to only defend.

However, measuring the right moment, Niera bid her time before unleashing Burning Sun Lights The Skies, the attack that caused Mu Bing to fail in defending herself using her icy domain, now fell on the four defensive domains, engulfing them in its overwhelming flash of light before a huge explosion immediately pulled them in!

The cheering crowd became dumbfounded as they turned all silent. Did she kill them for real while shouting it?

They could see that the attack completely overwhelmed them through the projection!

“Uh-uh, you might’ve overdone it.”

Sophie’s brows twitched, but Niera shook her head, “No, they should have some tricks up their sleeves that should save them. They knew that they were only strong enough to harass us and never went all out.”

Before long, they saw four dim white lights, causing them to smile.

On another end, Claire blasted the group of thirty who were escaping with a blazing wheel, the heat radiating from it almost turning them into ashes as they were not defending anymore but running.

“Now~”

Claire bellowed and made way to two people behind her who held hands, having their eyes closed, but they suddenly raised their free hands at the feeling group.

“Firestorm Breeze!~”

A gaseous substance surged from their palms, appearing to be purple. It flowed all the way to the other side, instantly engulfing one of them in its spark.

“What is this…?”

He reached out his senses to it, wanting to know what it was to counter it when an explosion occurred.

*Boom!~*

“Ahh!”

He painfully screamed as it blazed into flames and light right near him, harming him greatly. The fires lit up his hand, and lightning stuck his chest, causing him to breathe out smoke as it seemed to have entered and fried his organs.

“Watch out!!!”

The others panickingly warned as they reactivated their Supreme Domains but then, it was already too late as the breeze completely overtook them.

*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*

Wherever the breeze soared, explosions of fire and lightning occurred!

Flashes of white light emerged before thirty participants disappeared altogether.

Claire accounted for all of them before she turned around and smiled at Logan and Nora holding hands, her lips curving.

“Heh…” She couldn’t help but giggle.

“No one would believe me if I said that Davis is my child if you two keep using Fire and Lightning together.”

“Claire, don’t be jealous.” Nora appeared shy, “It’s I who am jealous that I do not have a child like Davis yet.”

Logan reached out his other hand to Claire, who then smiled before she appeared to his other side and clasped his hand.

“Get me a Purple Yin Star Flame. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”

“Alright.”

While Claire sounded coy and shy contrary to her words, Logan nodded his head.

*Sss!~*

A sudden chill breeze rushed past them, making them notice that it was Mu Bing and the five other Mystic Ice Sect maidens who appeared before them.

“Sorry, I was only able to finish six of them while letting four escape.” Mu Bing politely explained.

“No problem.” Logan spoke before he looked around, “What about the others?”

*Whoosh!~*

Multiple silhouettes began to gather beside them before the whole group regathered.

“Three Perfect Domain Cultivators and four Supreme Domain Cultivators managed to escape.”

“Wait a minute…” Esvele narrowed her eyes, “Doesn’t that mean that only four more has to be eliminated since the last group consists of ten people while there’s twenty of us?”

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, the entire desert began shaking before the expanse compressed, becoming small as though it was going to crush them to death. However, the desert space disappeared and the boisterous voice of the crowd.

Logan and the others were astonished. They were back in the New Era Battle Arena. Well, it was not like they left, but after a day spent in the spatial transformation, it was like they had been transported back, which made the feeling appear fantastical.

“Damn it! I was so… close!”

A young man who seemed to be deeply injured with his abdomen bleeding struck the ground, garnering plenty of attention. However, he kept hitting the ground as though he held a grudge against the poor surface while tears threatened to flow out.

“Looks like the group of four that escaped from Mu Bing encountered the group of ten while they seem to have lost one out of the eleven…”

Logan inferred, causing the others to nod their heads as they understood that this unknown youth had just lost his entry into the Top 32!
