1502 An Epic Clash
Long Tiankong stared down at the dozens of people as he felt the aura of their cultivation base.
Saint Soul 8th realm.
Saint Soul 6th realm.
Saint Transformation 3rd realm.
His eyes shifted to the man he called Yating.
Saint Transformation 6th realm.
None of them were his enemies.
He held his Noble Dragon spear and pointed it down at the man in front of him. Wood energy rushed through his meridians, making it into his spear.
The Dragon Emperor wasn't even planning on using any skill of his own, but just the one that was in his spear. He also wasn't planning on using his Immortal Qi, just his normal Saint Qi.
Even so, the men and women on the ground felt nothing but dread. Death hung in the air, and at its center was the Dragon Emperor.
The world lost its color once again as the Dragon Emperor launched a single attack.
A singular bolt of lightning flew out of the Noble Dragon Spear, charging down on seemingly nobody. However, halfway through, the single bolt of lightning split into 5 different smaller bolts of lightning that struck 5 random individuals, including the man named Yating.
Every single one of the 5 people being attacked couldn't hold back at all. Without hesitation, they held out their treasures to stop the attack. Stronger ones that were not being attacked moved quickly and stood in front of the ones being attacked as they protected them as well.
Yating alone took on one of the bolts of lightning.
Alex looked in shock at the sky. The aura from the Dragon Emperor's attacks was one thing, but seeing the damage it caused was another.
Alex saw fractures in space being left behind by that one attack. Small splinters in space that took a second or two to heal were left behind where the lightning passed through.
Snow had stopped falling momentarily as most of it was blasted away from the surroundings.
He saw the attack land on the people on the ground and then heard the explosion. It was both blinding and deafening. The shockwave from the hit alone caused him to perspire from his brows.
He couldn't imagine a world where he could take this attack and survive it. Not as he was right now.
Alex watched the aftermath of that one attack. As the light faded and the dust settled, he saw two men on the ground, one of whom had lost his right arm. Other than that, they were mostly fine.
Everyone else had successfully managed to protect themselves from the attack of the Dragon Emperor.
A few of them returned attacks to the Dragon Emperor, but the Dragon Emperor didn't even use his shield this time around. He simply swung his spear once and the attack tore away the stronger attacks that were coming his way.
The weaker attacks landed on him, exploding on his face. The people who had attacked were surprised to see their attacks land on him. However, they weren't very excited about it. For they knew something about the Dragon Emperor that made him far stronger than a normal cultivator.
The Dragon Emperor came out of the attacks, practically unharmed. His body was as flawless as always, and he felt not even a tinge of pain at all the attacks that fell on him.
His body cultivation was simply too strong for him to care about those attacks.
The attackers grimaced. They had known that the Dragon Emperor's body was strong, but to think it was strong enough to take their attacks without any backlash from it.
He had destroyed the stronger attacks before letting the weaker ones strike him, but even then, the weaker ones together still reached the strength of the high Saint Soul realm.
That was to say that the Dragon Emperor's body cultivation was most definitely around the peak of Saint Soul realm. Perhaps even the start of the Saint Transformation realm.
The Emperor took his spear and attacked once again.
Blue lighting flew down from the sky, daring to attack many of them once again. Yating and a few others managed to protect themselves once again. However, they had to use their expensive treasures and they only had so many of them.
Any more and their treasures would most likely be destroyed. They only had so much durability after all.
Yating stood tall, staring back at the Emperor as if daring him to attack him even harder this time. At the same time, he was inwardly panicking, wondering not just how to run away, but also how they were found in the first place.
There was only one explanation for all of this, and it was Alex. The moment he had captured him, the Dragon Emperor had somehow found their hiding spot.
But how? He couldn't imagine. There were scripts and formations that ran constantly to hide them. The only way would be for Alex to have something that could pierce past their barriers and alert the Dragon Emperor.
The man looked at Alex with his spiritual sense and then back at the Dragon Emperor. Were the two of them close enough?
They could be, but there was something there that he could make use of at some other time. He got rid of the ring on his finger, as he feared this was how the Dragon Emperor had found him in the first place.
He tossed it back to Alex without looking, and Alex quickly caught it, putting it onto his finger. He let his spiritual sense slip into the ring and was happy to learn that it was fine. Nothing had been tampered with.
Then, he looked back at the man and felt his aura increasing.
The air whipped around him and burned as Fire Qi rushed out of him at an incredible speed. The other people around him looked at him and backed off.
The Dragon Emperor was about to prepare another attack and stopped when he sensed Yating preparing his own. And this was a strong one.
Yating was preparing his Immortal Qi.
The Dragon Emperor sensed fluctuations in the spiritual sense between the Saints there. They had communicated something to each other, but he didn't know what.
However, he couldn't focus on that. This was an Immortal attack. Even with his Peak Saint realm cultivation base and a physical body that was stronger than most saints here, he still couldn't take the attack made with Immortal Qi lightly.
He let go of the spear, placing it back into his storage ring. While the spear was incredible, it was not something that could handle Immortal Qi without any damage.
The Dragon Emperor did not want to harm his spear for no reason.
A green aura seeped through his skin, surrounding him in the air as it got thicker and thicker. Just as Yating was on the ground, the Dragon Emperor prepared his attack as well.
The space rippled around them, threatening to tear at any moment. The ripples of their fluctuations spread and forced everyone back.
Alex slowly backed off as well, as he did not want to be in the midst of a collision between two attacks. He didn't even want to be in the vicinity.
He flew as far as he could before he sensed the attacks being launched. He turned around, just in time to see everything happen.
On Yating's end, there was a flame arrow the size of a boat that flew into the sky.
On the Dragon Emperor's end, there was a green dragon head that roared and sent Dragon's breath down from the sky.
The two attacks launched at a fraction of a second. And in another fraction of a second, they clashed midway through in the sky.
The world lost not just its color this time around, but even its sounds. Alex felt nothing for a second or two before the colliding attacks exploded with such power that they leveled mountains around them.
His spiritual sense in that area was instantly destroyed and he felt a small mental backlash.
Alex felt his heart palpitate in fear at his imagination of what would have happened to him, had he stayed there. The ripple from the shockwave alone was enough to send him flying backward even further.
Alex currently had a cultivation base equivalent to that of the Peak of Saint Soul realm and had an even stronger blood aura. Still, he understood the damage he would've received had he been nearer.
The attacks would have torn him to shred and Alex doubted that even his Undying physique could bring him back from this one.
Alex felt the ripples of space and looked to see for cracks. To his surprise, he did not just feel the cracks in Space this time around. There was another aura hidden within it that he felt afterward.
A crack in Time.
He tried to focus on the space of impact and saw small instances of cracks in them through which the Void seemed to leak through. However, they closed just as quickly as it opened.
The sound finally arrived where he was. The loudness of it surprised him as the sound drowned everything else.
The chaos of Fire and Wood Qi flew up to him as well, but they didn't do much to him this time around. He was braced for them.
The aftermath of the attack finally made itself seen. The Dragon Emperor flew high in the sky still, he too breathing unevenly at the sight in front of him.
As for Yating, he wasn't there anymore at all. Alex tried to look for traces of him, but all he found were remnants of a teleportation aura.
It wasn't just him, there were multiple teleportation aura.
The entirety of the remaining Oathbreakers had teleported away.
