The robed figure’s eyes shone brighter, until it released two beams of light that fell from above. One shattered a beam of light that Aurora had released, while the other shot at Shan Gu.
The old man’s face turned pale. The gap was too wide. While both cards were seven-star Primeval cards, Aurora and Emperor’s Gaze were not at all on the same level. On top of that, Emperor’s Gaze was only one of the cards.
At that moment, lightning roared up from below and slammed into the beam of light.
There was a loud impact, and Shan Gu was swept away. He coughed up blood as he staggered back.
Shan Xiao’s brows shot up, and she looked over in a different direction. Jiang Feng was standing there, holding his sword while staring at her.
The moment she saw Jiang Feng, Shan Xiao’s expression changed. This aura?
“I am your opponent.” Jiang Feng stepped forward. Facing the towering figure, he struck at it with a slash of his sword.
Two more beams of light shot straight at Jiang Feng.
Earlier in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, a single beam of light had shattered one of Xing Fan’s bodies and grievously wounded Everchange Valley’s guardians, A’zuo and A’you. Both guardians had accepted a Seed Transfusion to become peak Dukkhans.
Even so, the two beams of light were overpowered by a single sword strike. The slash contained a force that seemed to swallow the universe. It felt like an unstoppable torrent that could slice through everything.
Shan Xiao put away the Emperor’s Gaze card while turning to retreat. At the same time, she lashed out with the power of the Third Rampart. The Rampart was torn open by a single slash of the sword, and lightning rumbled through the void towards her.
Shan Xiao instantly vanished. The lightning exploded where she had just been, ripping through the swarm of insects.
Jiang Feng frowned. Gone?
No. He tilted his head as Luo Chan swept by, the bug staring at Jiang Feng in shock. He saw through me?
Far away, in the Aevum Inch, Lu Yin let out a pent up breath. He had not put a karmic wall around Jiang Feng, not because he did not want to, but rather because he was not able to.
He did not know why, but he simply could not place a karmic wall around Jiang Feng.
In the previous instant, when Luo Chan had taken Shan Xiao away while attempting to ambush Jiang Feng, the man had narrowly evaded the attack.
Luo Chan vanished again, and as the bug left, it flashed by Jiang Feng’s hand and tried to take his sword.
Jiang Feng’s brow furrowed, and he reversed the blade while slashing to the side. There was a snap, and Luo Chan was swatted away.
Far away, Shan Xiao was astonished by the exchange. How can this be? How can this man actually see through Luo Chan’s movements?
When the Nest civilization had fought against the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, Luo Chan had been suppressed by Greater Sancte Awe Gate. Within a certain range, the Immortal was able to open up her gates freely, and she had relentlessly tracked Luo Chan. Combined with the Great Master’s methods, Luo Chan had not been able to fully take advantage of its ability.
In the Tianyuan, Jian Feng was simply seeing through Luo Chan’s movements.
The bug refused to accept the situation and continued its attempts to ambush the man.
Again and again, Jian Feng avoided all of the attacks, and he even counterattacked. He was always just a fraction of a moment too late, but even so, Luo Chan had grown very wary of the man.
Jiang Feng stood his ground in outer space. Sometimes he attacked, and at other times, he remained still.
While nothing could be seen around him, he was in the most dangerous battlefield of all.
Luo Chan had become certain that Jiang Feng could see through its teleportation, despite clearly not being an Immortal.
In the Aevum Inch, the droplet-shaped creature had not yet made a move, though its eyes were fixed upon Jiang Feng.
The man truly did give off the feeling of being someone infinitely close to the Immortal level. The human had taken some sort of shortcut, but he had already overcome the greatest obstacle and was capable of becoming an Immortal. He could not be allowed to live, or else this megaverse would become practically impossible to destroy.
“Shan Xiao, kill him.”
Shan Xiao acknowledged her orders and looked back at where Jiang Feng was being kept occupied by Luo Chan. She raised Emperor’s Gaze with her left hand, while her right hand held another card: Emperor's Reversal.
The two emperor cards were the only pair of original seven-star Primeval cards that had belonged to the Third Rampart. They had once been wielded by Di Xia himself, and after his death, they had fallen into Shan Xiao’s hands.
To kill Jian Feng, she needed to go all out.
Jiang Feng’s eyes locked onto Shan Xiao as he was struck by a sudden sense of unease. Was this bug really giving him this kind of feeling?
Luo Chan’s teleportation was difficult to deal with, but Jiang Feng was able to track it. At the very least, he was confident that the bug could not harm him.
“Lord Jiang, be careful of Shan Xiao. She is holding two seven-star Primeval cards that can be united: Emperor’s Gaze and Emperor's Reversal. Together, they are strong enough to fight against an Immortal.”
Jiang Feng’s eyes flickered. Is that true? Are they as powerful as an Immortal?
He had once received a single attack from Master Qing Cao at the Immemorial Citadel, and Jian Feng would never forget that feeling.
Standing against an Immortal was like an ordinary human standing against a mountain. Could that same sense of helplessness really be induced by anything beneath the Immortal realm?
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared, and they attacked Shan Xiao from both sides. One was Kong Tianzhao, whose sequence particles spread out while the man used an invincible sword technique. The other was Bai Qing. Like a dead tree revived, she gave off a fathomless feeling.
Both were clad in white, and they struck down like two rays of white light.
Shan Xiao sneered. Mere sequence powerhouse ants dare to oppose me?
She simply ignored the two assailants while releasing the power of the Third Rampart to both sides.
Directly behind her, a figure emerged from the darkness, a fist upraised and ready to strike. It was Ancient God.
His body was shrouded with a black and gray energy: Wielder - Indestructible. He also used his sequence particles to endlessly enhance his strength, and there were purplish black wings on his back. While Kong Tianzhao and Bai Qing drew Shan Xiao’s attention, Ancient God threw a punch.
The punch struck the power of the Third Rampart, stopping some distance away from Shan Xiao.
Shan Xiao merely glanced backwards. “Did you really think some ants could harm me?”
As an Insect Lord, a being who had reached the pinnacle of power beneath the Immortal realm, she stood far above Ortusers, and even above peak Dukkhans.
One time, the High Seraph had traveled to the Tianyuan alone, and he had succeeded in destroying the Immemorial Citadel and slaughtering the Heavens Sect’s top powerhouses. No one had been able to stand against him. However, it would be difficult even for him to subdue Shan Xiao.
Ancient God stared on in shock. They were still far too weak.
