Chapter 721: Soldier Of War, Facing An Ascended

"Urrg!" Wei Wuyin released a brutish grunt, feeling the elevation of his spiritual strength. The Spirit Units of every iota of his Spiritual Energies increased, connecting perfectly together, and producing a tremendously terrifying spiritual pressure.

The change caused the expressions of the nearby Ascended drastically shift, their eyes widening as they noted the alarmingly skyrocketing spiritual aura that an Astral Core Realm cultivator was unleashing. Moreover, it didn't seem to be stopping at all!

"A Spiritualist?" An Ascended from the star-pupil race questioned with befuddlement in their eyes, uncertain of what he was seeing exactly. The Ascended was no slouch, his cultivation base exceeding Jing Jiu's female companion, even exceeding her in terms of density and purity in aura. Clearly, he was a long-lived, well-cultivated Demi-Mortal Lord.

He was currently facing two opponents in a three-way fight, clashing with their auras as they pressed each other, diverting a very small portion of their strength to observe the events nearby. However, their clash was sufficient to induce shockwaves that could obliterate almost all Astral Core Realm cultivators.

One of his opponent's was a gargantuan figure that towered both of his enemies with ease, standing at over three hundred and sixty feet, or roughly a hundred meters in height. His large physical body seemed to act as its own Gravitational Central Mass, creating a unique gravitational force that attracted others to him into his own orbit.

Clearly, this titan race was unleashing the limits of his Bloodline Power, bringing forth the complete might of the titan race. The physical aura he was unleashing was horrifying, as if facing a large-sized planet hurtling towards you at all times.Rêađ latest cha/p/ters at novelhall.com

This was other than Battalion Commander Borus, the very same Demi-Mortal Lord that Wei Wuyin had met when he first arrived. Clearly, he was deployed to this Battlefield as well. However, he was leading a different portion of his forces and wasn't close to Wei Wuyin's particular company.

The human was a grey-bearded old man dressed in scarlet-gold robes who carried a whisk that released gossamer strings that whipped wildly about like a violent octopus. They were extremely thin and scarlet. Their auras were absolutely vicious and vigorous, very similar to the ambient aura of the Scarlet Solaris Mountain.

"Oh? The titanic oafs brought a secret Spiritualist here? I wonder when you found the time away from your civil issues and declining birth rates," the old man smiled harmlessly, yet his words were a direct violation to the titan race's intelligence and means. Despite his status as an Ascended Highlord, clearly he had no issue throwing shade.

The star-pupil race's Ascended Highlord frowned, his aura pressed with greater strength as his eyes seemed to embody the essence of the stars. Most of it was focused on Battalion Commander Borus.

The old man laughed gleefully, seeming to have come to an agreement with the star-pupil race's Ascended without a single word or transmission. He diverted over 70% of his strings towards the titan. Each lash split fixed space and could slice through entire planets. When they met the skin of the enlarged titan, faint bruises were made, yet they were unable to penetrate skin.

Battalion Commander Borus's expression grew slightly unsightly. He was aware that they were preventing him from interfering in the slightest for fear of him bringing the currently hunted Spiritualist away at a cost. As for the others, they were all just genuine Ascended at the lowest level, the Soul of Mysticism. They wouldn't be able to stop a fully enraged Demi-Mortal Lord nor would they dare considering they'd still be attacked by two other opponents.

This interference wasn't just occurring at their battle, but the Soul of Mysticism soldiers were also acting to deliberately hinder all titan allies. Some of the titans were even suffering from being ganged up on, yet fortunately, no one pushed it due to their wariness of the third opponent. If they showed an opening, two might die, not one.

None of them were allies.

Yet the human and star-pupiled race would have no issue with someone taking out a Spiritualist of their enemy, especially since the cost of doing so was drastic. But since they didn't have to shoulder such a hefty financial loss, who cares? They could just aid them indirectly.

While the Ascended in this area was thinking this, on another Battlefield not too far away, the humans were suffering catastrophic losses as the Demi-Lord for titans and the star-pupil race split instantly upon Jing Jiu's female companions departure, outright injuring or killing human Ascended soldiers. There was no one to protect them.

Yet there was no way the titans or star-pupil race would allow the humans to push out aid, and even Battalion Commander Borus realized this, focusing more of his explosive strikes towards the old man. While he had that harmless smile, the old man's eyes glinted with an uncomfortable light, wanting to urge that female to be swift!

Wei Wuyin heaved out a series of heavy breaths, faintly smiling as he gazed at Cai Liuyang.

Cai Liuyang frowned slightly.

"I win."

Wei Wuyin took a commonly said word from Jing Jiu's life, a phrase Cai Liuyang had heard many times and of the same cadence, and spoke them. To her, his words invoked memories of what she had, of what she lost, and why she was currently seething with rage!

Yet her thoughts stilled.

SHIIING!

Wei Wuyin immediately brought out Element, his Nascent Saber Soul, with extremely practiced swiftness and drew upon all the power of his Divine Saber Astral Soul, every last freaking drop of its tremendous World Sea's astral force was gathered into Element. All of this, both his gathering of Spiritual Strength and saber force had been deliberately done while he was running for his life, in preparation for this single moment!

He sliced out vertically, releasing a one meter thin, yet thousands of kilometers long slash that tore apart the murky skies and sundered the earth beneath. He used all of his eighty-one centimeter-sized World Sea of King, the full maximum of his current cultivation limits, without holding back a single thing! Even his Saber Heart Intent was activated, causing the space that the heaven-splitting pillar of saber light to absorb the ambient essence and energies and grow even sharper.

Cai Liuyang's mind, body, and soul felt affixed to a specific point in time. As if all of her existence was unable to muster a single movement. All she could do was watch as Wei Wuyin brought out his saber, unleashing a heaven-reaching ray of saber force into a thin line that bore down upon her.

For the briefest of moments, fear welled within her heart as she regretted not killing Wei Wuyin immediately! She regretted crushing the trap of a spiritual orb! She regretted letting Jing Jiu die while she fought in the skies!

The expressions of all the Ascended nearby changed.

Wei Wuyin smirked.

For a moment...

Then his smirk froze.

An icy jade-colored light erupted.

The pillar of saber light conjured by Wei Wuyin's strongest might at present, rushed forward, yet at that icy jade-colored light, its sky-splitting sharpness, seemingly unstoppable forward momentum, and gushing waves of power froze!

It was halted!

A fair palm that released icy jade-colored light held onto the saber light as if it was nothing!!! The endless saber howls did little to push it forward, and the saber light distorted slightly as the fingers of that palm moved.

"..."

"You win? You don't deserve to say that!"
