Chapter 129: Reaching the Climax of Battle. Sacred Palace; One of Yang Wei's Five Supreme Magics!!

The outer parts of the Red Snake Mountains.

The female disciples were still on edge, clueless about the situation.

They huddled together, chatting nervously among themselves.

"What's really going on?"

"I don't know, I just hope we're safe..."

"We better be! After all, we have four chief elders with us."

"Right! If that's not guaranteed protection, then I don't know what is..."

Sun Yurong floated above them. "Disciples, don't worry, we have everything under control," she tried to reassure them.

But despite her words, the disciples remained visibly anxious, and Sun Yurong could tell her reassurance fell flat.

She sighed, glancing at them before lowering her head in frustration.

I doubt that sounded convincing enough.

"Okay, listen up," she called their attention, "the beast cores you've gathered during the trials will be evaluated to determine who gets promoted to the Inner Sect. Our current situation will not get in the way of that."

This news didn't exactly ease their worries.

Instead, the disciples seemed more frustrated, some even started complaining right then and there.

"This isn't fair!"

"Yeah, we still had like three more days left!"

"Now I'll never be a Star Disciple!"

Just then, Chen Yuxi approached Sun Yurong, prompting her to turn towards her. "What's the latest?" Sun Yurong inquired.

Clearing her throat and adjusting her glasses, Chen Yuxi replied, "Elders Zhi and Yen analyzed the barrier around the Red Snake Mountains. They're certain the spiritual signatures belong to a cultivator of at least the 3rd level of Spirit Ascension."

Sun Yurong's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Only the Dragon Blossom Sect has cultivators at that level," she remarked.

Chen Yuxi pondered for a moment. "Could it be an attack from them?" she suggested.

Shaking her head, Sun Yurong disagreed. "No, there are too many unknown variables," she reasoned.

Besides, that's not how most of this is supposed to play out, however, my visions didn't tell me anything about a Spirit Ascension cultivator appearing on this day... strange.

"So, what's our next move?" Chen Yuxi pressed. "Considering the disciples we expected would be hostages are safe, it's unclear what we should do next."

Sun Yurong sighed, folding her arms. "Honestly, I'm not sure either," she admitted.

Bai Suzhen agreed, looking around with a furrowed brow. "I feel it too."

While Yang Wei had to use [Jade Magic] to free them from their temporal stasis, what allowed Yang Wei to move in stopped time was his Temporal-resistance Layer.

It nullified all temporal effects by stacking him with layers upon layers of temporal stabilization barriers.

Yang Wei turned to Liu Yan and Bai Suzhen, concern in his eyes. "Are you two alright?" he asked.

Bai Suzhen nodded, while Liu Yan hesitated before replying, "Yeah... sort of..."

Turning back to the brothers, Yang Wei approached them confidently.

"I'll show you what it means to challenge the Emperor of Magic."

Suddenly, golden particles filled the air, multiplying until they bathed the entire area in a golden glow. Walls, floors, and ceilings began to materialize, transforming the surroundings into a majestic golden palace.

Liu Yan and Bai Suzhen exchanged astonished glances as they took in their new surroundings.

It was like stepping into a whole new world.

The three brothers were heavily surprised by the transformation of their surroundings.

What sort of fiend is he?! How can a Quasi-Spirit Gathering cultivator be able to pull off such a feat?! It makes no sense... Ji Wu thought skeptically.

Yang Wei spread his arms out and closed his eyes.

"Welcome to the Sacred Palace..."

This was one of Yang Wei's Five Supreme Magics.

...

Cloudcrest's eyes didn't leave the spatial rift, however, he knew something was strange.

"Why can't we see them anymore?!" he asked.

Noble Flamehorn was equally confused.

The spatial rift had suddenly stopped feeding them visuals of the Ji Brothers' battle against Yang Wei.

"I... I'm as surprised as you, my lord."

Not Flamehorn, nor Cloudcrest could make sense of what was happening.

It was as though, they didn't have the authority to peer into Yang Wei's actions anymore.

And truly, they did not... for this was his Sacred Palace, a transcendent place untouched by everything in and beyond the Existence itself.

Shaking her head several times, Noble Fate bit the tip of her finger and smiled. "Oh, how I love strong men..."

She was itching to put this mage in his place.
