Chapter 2223 Looming Planet

Fighting many Martial Artists simultaneously was difficult, but as Rui was more exposed to them, he was able to adaptively evolve to them just fine. He grew increasingly proficient at dealing with all of them at once.

The Sekigahara Confederate had deployed a high-grade Martial Master as well as many mid-grade and low-grade Martial Masters to kill him, yet they could have never expected that they would have all failed to take him down.

The power he demonstrated far exceeded even their most generous evaluation of his combat level. After all, how could anybody have imagined that just a few years would have been enough to approach the peak of the Master Realm?

"He's strong, by Gaia." A man heaved a sigh, shaking his head. "To think that we will fail to kill despite all that we have reserved him. To think he can have such power in the Master Realm. It looks like I might have to..."

His eyes narrowed. "Kill him myself in the name of Gaia."

"Do you really think I would allow you to?" Master Sera asked with a cold smile. "You're going nowhere, Master Satva."

The man shifted his gaze to Master Sera as he sized her up with a single glance. His arms were tucked behind his back while his braided hair sashayed in the air.

"Hm, while it is true that he will undoubtedly become a grave threat in the future, I suppose that for this battle, the gravest threat we face is still you, Harbinger." His eyes sharpened as he stroked his long, flowing white beard.

Neither of them had commenced their battle.

The outcome of their battle would affect the outcome of the entire battle.

That was what it meant for two grade-thirty Masters to fight.

They were the only Masters who had known exactly who they would be fighting long before the war began.

As much as Master Satva would love to shoot toward Rui to quickly kill him and eliminate the future threat, he could not do so as long as Master Sera impeded his path. She protected the Kandrian Masters from the wrath of the monster known as the Apostle of Gaia.

"I suppose there's no point in delaying the inevitable." He heaved a sigh. "I will kill you as quickly as possible, and then I will kill the Dawnbringer when I'm done with you. Now then..."

One moment, he was just an old man floating midair.

The very next, an extraordinary tsunami of unfathomable power emerged from within his body as his Martial Heart and Martial Mind revved into power. His Martial Heart illuminated his entire body, as every cell began shining brightly with a flood of extraordinary power coursing through each and every one of them.

It was as though a star had descended from the heavens, gracing the mortals below with their ephemeral power.

"Now then." Master Satva met her gaze with eyes that flashed with bloodlust. "Please die in the name of Gaia."

BOOOM!!!

A pillar of earth wider than a mountain erupted from the ground, spiking toward the Harbinger with extraordinary velocity.

WHOOSH!

"Oof, close," Master Sera muttered with a displeased expression as she evaded the attack, her Heart and Mind blazing into power.

The Martial Masters of the Kandrian Empire stirred with uncertainty.

It wasn't that she was weak, not at all. Her Martial Heart and Mind were extremely powerful, yet they didn't compare to the sheer majesty that her opponent was projecting with his overwhelming Realms of power.

Barring the very pinnacles like Rui and the Gatekeeper, he was almost entirely unmatched in both Body and Mind.

A doubt began to form in their minds.

Could Master Sera actually defeat him...?

No matter who they were, they couldn't help but have their doubts.

After all, they couldn't even take solace in their being of the same grade. After all, grade thirty was the limit regardless of a Martial Master's strength. This meant it was possible for the Apostle of Gaia to be much stronger than the Harbinger despite the fact that they were of the same grade.

That was what made the Martial Masters of the Kandrian Empire extremely nervous. If she did end up succumbing to the Apostle of Gaia, then they did not have confidence that they could win this battle.

Just the presence of a single peak Martial Master could change the tide of battle.

Yet, there wasn't much they could do; each of them was tied with their own opponents, especially the few who were actually qualified to fight Master Satva head-on.

BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!!

The ensuing battle between the two powerhouses only escalated.
