I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 812: A Brawl All Around
The battlefield was silent for a few seconds, and on the Multiracial Alliance side creatures had already begun exchanging looks.
They were more wary of an Apostle of the End, and understood better how terrible one was, so naturally they thought this a good idea.
Unfortunately they also knew that this matter absolutely could not be allowed to get out, so the final decision could only rest with their leader.
At last the silver-armored creature bared a chilling smile. “What is there to be afraid of?!”
He glared savagely at the subordinates behind him, his gaze drifting despite himself toward the cargo hold the snail had been shielding all this time:
“Kill him and the thing is ours! He is a mere sixth-level Apostle of the End. With me here, what is there for you to fear!”
The giant snail split open his own gaping maw as well, baring dense rows of sharp teeth. “Just so. Nothing that happens here can be allowed to get out, or we will not be able to keep this thing even once we have it! Do not be afraid. We hold the advantage in combat power.”
And on the other side, the eighth-level “tripe” put out a mental fluctuation carrying an apology of its own:
“My deepest apologies. Although my lord only happened to be passing by, now that you know of our sacred relic, we absolutely cannot let you leave, Apostle of the End or not!”
Jie Ming’s face twitched at that. “I will say nothing about the Multiracial Alliance side… robbery and murder, at least I can understand that. But who in the world knows what the hell your sacred relic even is? Beyond the name, I know nothing about it whatsoever, all right!”
The “tripe” looked toward the slime-wrapped cargo hold, and there was not a trace of apology in its tone now. “Sorry. Only the dead keep secrets.”
At that, Jie Ming sighed helplessly.
He rolled his shoulders lightly, and inside his main body, fused with the inner world, spiritual power began to circulate:
“Fine. It seems… fighting is the only option!”
Hearing Jie Ming say that, the standoff that had stalled between the two sides rose again, and terrible pressure took over all the space around them once more.
And yet the first to strike was, unexpectedly, the very man both sides had taken for the weakling: Jie Ming!
Jie Ming slowly raised his head, a trace of an excited smile at the corner of his mouth. “Since you all want to kill me, then I will not hold back either!”
As the words fell, with a roar a dark golden pillar of light shot up out of his body and became a golden torrent running through the starry sky.
The Third Layer Dharma Form, two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers tall, descended once again!
Once the vast dark golden giant had taken shape, it slowly opened six eyes, and its two faces, front and back, looked down over the whole battlefield at once.
The Dharma Form only stood there, and the space around it began collapsing layer by layer, countless spatial fissures spreading out from beside it and covering the whole region like a spider’s web.
But what truly made the two eighth-level beings change color was not the Dharma Form. It was the light coming off it.
Boom!!!
The moment it took shape, the Dharma Form’s dark golden body burst out with a sacred radiance hundreds of times more dazzling than a star!
Endless golden divine flame gushed out from within the Dharma Form, then condensed rapidly under some invisible force.
Jie Ming knew perfectly well the gap in combat power between himself and an eighth-level being, so having opened the Dharma Form, he did not hesitate to apply a deeper layer of enhancement:
Light God Transformation!
In that moment the entire Dharma Form seemed to become a truly humanoid star, golden divine light shining across the void.
A pale golden halo even formed in a ring around the Dharma Form, as though a god had descended!
“How is that possible?!!”
At so astonishing a change, the pupils of that eighth-level creature in silver armor contracted abruptly.
On the other side, the amusement in the tripe-creature’s mental energy vanished as well.
Both sides regretted it at the same moment. Had they known the other party had this degree of explosive power, they should never have tried to keep him here.
But the words were out, and since there was no taking them back, all that was left was to “make up for it” as best they could.
“Kill him!” ×2.
Without a word exchanged, the two eighth-level beings of the opposing sides made exactly the same choice.
In perfect accord they burst forward at the same instant and launched their attack on Jie Ming.
The silver-armored creature’s body abruptly became a streak of silver light, rushing at Jie Ming at a speed the eye could not follow.
On the other side, the tripe-creature’s body swelled wildly, dark red tracings like blood vessels growing across its surface as gouts of viscous black energy compressed and gathered.
In the end it became a spear running through the void, blasting straight at Jie Ming!
At very nearly the same moment, one before and one behind, two eighth-level existences arrived to kill!
Faced with two eighth-level beings closing in, Jie Ming showed not the slightest urge to retreat.
The Dharma Form slowly clenched both fists…
Boom!
Two fists that blotted out the heavens swung out in two directions at once, and the entire starry sky seemed frozen in that instant!
And then three forces collided head-on!
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The elements around them became shockwaves visible to the naked eye, spreading wildly outward ring after ring.
The spatial cracks drifting within a range of several hundred thousand kilometers were even smoothed flat in that instant!
Crack!
A crisp shattering sound came, and the Dharma Form’s arms burst first, splitting apart inch by inch.
The dark golden divine light became a sky full of raining light, and under Jie Ming’s control it re-formed into the Trigram Fire Annihilation Divine Light and blasted at the two enemies once more!
At the same time, the silver-armored creature and the tripe-creature were driven back by force by that one punch.
Before their bodies could steady, they were struck by the Trigram Fire Annihilation Divine Light Jie Ming had released at the cost of his arms, and were knocked back further still.
The two of them retreated more than a hundred thousand kilometers before they finally steadied themselves, and the expressions on their faces had turned graver.
“He is strong…”
The tripe-creature slowly lowered its head. It was trembling faintly and without pause now, with fine splits even opening across its body, black blood dripping steadily down its surface.
On the other side, a fine crack had opened across the armor on the silver-armored creature’s chest.
Clearly, in that exchange of blows a moment ago, not one of the three had come off better.
And in the interval while the two were driven back, gray-white light had already begun rising from Jie Ming’s Dharma Form.
【Ash Return to Origin Hand】!
Gray-white ripples spread quietly, and the Dharma Form’s shattered arms gathered themselves back together as though time had run backward.
In very nearly an instant, both arms were restored to their original state.
Nor did it stop there. The gray-white ripples did not cease spreading, but went on extending outward in every direction.
The seventh-level creatures who had been preparing to close in and attack had barely made contact when their bodies jolted to a halt.
The next moment, every one of them flew backward and returned to the positions where each had been standing a moment before.
They all held their charging postures, fixed there with blank faces.
“What is going on?!”
The giant snail could not help crying out.
They had plainly charged to the middle of the battlefield already. How had they suddenly come back?
“It is time. This fellow can affect time!”
Someone cried out too, having clearly seen through the essence of the ability.
Someone refused to believe it and attacked again, but had barely taken a step before his body was pushed back once more.
After several attempts in a row, every being present apart from the two eighth-level ones changed color.
They finally realized that this region was no longer a battlefield they could set foot on!
At the same time, the two eighth-level existences charged in again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three figures clashed wildly across the void, an unbroken roar echoing through the Endless Chaotic Void.
