Chapter 289 - 286: G.S.T, Forced?
Through the void, Wei Wuyin transmitted a ceaseless flow of elemental force into the Titanic Mudworm Snake. Its body started to expand, infused with highly refined power that caused all its injuries to heal and its body to shimmer with white light. From its body, wisps of elemental force were inadvertently integrating into the world.
The scene sent Wu Yu, Long Chen, and even the spectators into a state of confusion. They all simultaneously believed that Huangfu Jinwei had awoken and was attempting to escape, but this thought was temporary for Wu Yu. He felt that the astral force was simply appearing without rhyme or reason.
But the innate spiritual aura within the wisps was rather distinct. His eyes narrowed as he noticed Wei Wuyin’s aura from these wisps, and they were being actively controlled. How was this possible? His eyes shot towards the horizon. From his senses, he knew that Wei Wuyin was an incomparably vast distance away. He was nearly on the other side of the planet.
This was truly incomprehensible.
Then, the Titanic Mudworm Snake acted. It unwrapped its body, revealing the source of the wisps of elemental power was from a white spherical construct. The surface of this sphere was fantastical. At times it would seem as solid as metal, as fluid as water, as shifting as fire, as chaotic as lightning, as vibrant as wood, as ethereal as wind, as malleable as earth, as viscous as magma, and as frosty as ice. These states even merged at odd periods, bringing even more mystical sights. Its variable form made one experience a sense of surrealism.
Wu Yu trembled! ’Elemental Origin Force?!’ His mind shook, nostalgic and ancient memories flashed within his thoughts. He recalled a young man with a forceful temperament that held the power of the nine elements at his fingertips. With a thought, all the elemental forces revered him as its king.
Its Divine King.
He hadn’t expected to observe this power that was insidiously difficult to comprehend and produce. While normal Elemental Force was common, Elemental Origin Force required Elemental Origin Intent. This was insanely difficult, requiring the base merging and unified synchronization of the nine elements. It was not an easy energy source to produce nor an easy Intent to develop.
It was dozens of times more difficult to comprehend than Sword Intent, Saber Intent, Slaughter Intent, or Battle Intent. He simply was stunned by the sight, unable to believe it appeared. A trace of vigilance entered his eyes for the very first time. Elemental Origin Force could not be underestimated, he learned that long ago...
His pause was met with a slip-up. The sphere contained Huangfu Jinwei’s unconscious body. With a spinning twist of its lengthy body, the Titanic Mudworm Snake threw with its tail into the distance. In the blink of an eye, it shot into the far-off horizon. The sphere of condensed Elemental Origin Force completely protected the body within.
CAW!!
If he was crippled, what would happen to those he cherished? What would happen to his future? His eyes reddened instantly while his teeth were being grounded audibly. Those normally pure black eyes were emitting endless killing intent, unable to exist beneath the same sky as Wei Wuyin.
"Senior, kill him!" He transmitted to Wu Yu. If the world were to hear him, they would see a similar madness that Huangfu Jinwei had when he sent Shadow Moon Wolves to claim his and the girls’ lives.
Wu Yu ignored Long Chen and stared at the spiritual light within the serpent’s eyes. He couldn’t understand what Wei Wuyin was thinking. Others might not know, but Wei Wuyin knew that Long Chen was the future leader of the Myriad Monarch Sect. He was the only one present with the rightful lineage and legacy. Furthermore, he was being guided by him personally, the first Grand Monarch and Founder of the sect.
Wasn’t he being too wishful thinking this would go his way? Or was he seeking another goal?
Wu Yu didn’t dwell on this. Since this was said, then Wei Wuyin definitely wouldn’t allow them to leave just like that. This would be an affront to his status and dignity, and Long Chen didn’t have the status to resist against it. As a Heavenly King and an Alchemic King, at least seen by the sect, he had boundless more importance than an Earthly Elite Disciple.
"If you do this, I’ll be left with no choice." Wu Yu transmitted with a faint sigh, it was as if he didn’t wish for it to come to this. Wei Wuyin had seemingly given birth to Elemental Origin Intent, had fantastical strength, and was a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist at such a young age. He much rather avoid conflict with him, especially to the point where there was no alternative. He couldn’t imagine that that was what Wei Wuyin wanted either.
But Wei Wuyin merely smiled back at his Sky Palace, a light of interest and calculation within.
Wu Yu realized that the spiritual light within the serpent’s eyes was steady, unaffected by his words. He couldn’t help but recall that brilliant youth with silver eyes that had determined his existence, identity, and revealed a high level of intelligence. Considering his words and personality, this must be well within his plans.
Did he want to force Long Chen and himself into a point of no retreat? Or...did he want to...
Wait...
When his thoughts reached a certain point, his canine mouth released an odd chuckle highly unusual for a wolf.
’Is that what you want? If so, well played.’ When he turned to see Long Chen, he could only feel a hint of sadness, pity, disappointment, and a wisp of excitement within. He didn’t hold back any longer and directly sent Long Chen a transmitted message.
"...What?!" Long Chen’s expression drastically changed!
