Yuan's Ascension-Chapter 970: Kill Them All (2)

A body refiner Sovereign equipped with high-grade Dao Instrument armor indeed possessed astonishing defense. The azure light suffusing ten thousand li around Wu Yuan was a technique of the path of matter— Matter Domain.

The path of Laws and the path of matter were two routes leading to eternity. None were superior to the other, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The path of Laws, whether qi refining or body refining, essentially involved the application of Laws. The choice between ranged attacks and close combat led to the creation of various bizarre secret arts, all striving to unleash the full potential of the Laws.

The path of matter, on the other hand, was unrelated to the profundities of Laws. It didn't even involve any secret arts, for each step forward was about pushing the power of matter to its absolute limit, achieving the pinnacle of physical prowess, yet unable to manipulate even a trace of the Laws' profundities. No techniques were needed. It was the true embodiment of shattering all techniques with a single punch.

If Wu Yuan had fully comprehended the Five Thousand Primal Force Diagrams and reconstructed his physical body to the apex of late-stage sempiternal life, a single punch was enough to obliterate Sovereign You Hong. But he had only comprehended three thousand Primal Force Diagrams, which in some sense was equivalent to the first-level Dao Field stage of the path of Laws.

Therefore, to contend with late-stage Sovereign powerhouses like Sovereign You Hong, he had to rely on the combined might of his physical body, the application of Laws, and ether.

As a Matter Sovereign, there were numerous disadvantages, such as difficulty executing ranged attacks and the inability to cultivate additional mana or ether bodies.

However, it also came with an incredibly formidable physical body and a Matter Domain formed by harnessing the profundities of matter. This domain could only affect oneself, creating a domain under one’s absolute control with a radius of ten thousand li.

In a sense, once a Matter Sovereign deployed this technique, they could nullify most of an enemy's domain techniques.

...

"None of you can hope to stop me," Wu Yuan's body refiner self growled.

Hazy azure light formed a sphere around his body, rendering his speed terrifyingly swift. Ignoring wave after wave of impacts from the domain, he charged straight for Sovereign You Hong.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan's ether body was also enveloped in azure light, its speed skyrocketing as it fled.

"This is bad."

"Stop him!" Sovereign Jian Shi, Sovereign An Wu, and the others' expressions changed. They never imagined that Wu Yuan, a mere Astral Monarch, would possess such a formidable technique capable of negating Sovereign You Hong's domain technique.

"What?"

"Kill! Push through!" Sovereign Bai Zai, Sovereign Wu Gong, and the others were equally dumbfounded. This was a technique they had never witnessed before.

This? This azure light? Only Sovereign Feng Huang, amidst his shock, felt a flash of confusion. Could it be that Wu Yuan is...

He recalled some enemies he had encountered in the cosmic sea who displayed similar techniques, then he thought of Wu Yuan's robust physical body. All the signs seemed to fit. And yet!

Wu Yuan is clearly a body refiner Astral Monarch. Sovereign Feng Huang marveled inwardly. Eternity is singular, he... He didn't understand, and was profoundly shaken.

Despite his bewilderment, it didn't hinder Sovereign Feng Huang from exerting his strength, lunging straight for Sovereign You Hong.

What? Damn it! What kind of technique is this? Sovereign You Hong was both anxious and furious. With a mental command, those silver dragon chains howled as they pounced towards Wu Yuan.

Get lost! Wu Yuan's true self exuded an overwhelming aura, his blade rays unstoppable. Each strike carried power so immense it seemed capable of cleaving apart a vast world, sending those chains flying in disarray.

Everything seemed to happen in a blink of an eye.

Before Sovereign Wu Guang, Sovereign An Wu, and Sovereign Bi Qu could even react, Wu Yuan’s true self had already passed them, heading straight for Sovereign You Hong.

If they had been wholly focused on guarding Sovereign You Hong, they might have been able to hinder him somewhat, but now? They could only watch helplessly as Wu Yuan closed in on Sovereign You Hong.

Boom! Boom! Without the silver chains to restrain them, Sovereign Feng Huang and the others advanced frantically, posing an equally great threat.

Retreat! Sovereign You Hong fled in terror, moving like a fish in water within her own domain while manipulating the silver chains to fend off Wu Yuan.

"You Hong, over here!" A slightly anxious voice rang out - it was Sovereign Jian Shi, who was darting over to Sovereign You Hong. At this moment, only he could save Sovereign You Hong.

"Jian Shi, stay right there." A deep roar resonated through the void, followed by a sudden eruption of blade rays, locking him in place.

The source of the attack was none other than Wu Yuan's ether body. His speed was sufficient to restrain Sovereign Jian Shi for a short time, preventing him from getting close to Sovereign You Hong. If allowed to approach, he could swiftly whisk Sovereign You Hong away into a Space Dao Instrument and escape.

In that instant, within the vast Yin-Yang domain, nearly ten Sovereign powerhouses were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Sovereign Feng Huang single-handedly suppressed both Sovereign Wu Guang and Sovereign An Wu, displaying greater strength as the battle raged on.

However, whether it was the Eldritch Court or Immortal Court powerhouses, or the seven Sovereigns observing from the void, most attention was focused on Wu Yuan and Sovereign You Hong.

Everyone understood that the determining factor of this battle was whether Wu Yuan could swiftly kill Sovereign You Hong.

The two engaged in a frantic chase, their forms flashing, but Wu Yuan quickly realized that he was having difficulty catching up to his opponent in a short time.

"Wu Yuan, your movement technique may be exceptional, but I've comprehended the Great Dao of Yin-Yang to the seventh-level Dao Field stage. My movement and evasion techniques aren’t weak either," Sovereign You Hong transmitted angrily. "Moreover, this is my domain. You won't be able to catch me."

Wu Yuan frowned.

His opponent was right. Any Great Dao, when comprehended to an extremely high level, wouldn't be weak in any aspect.

Should I give up? Wu Yuan glanced around with his peripheral vision, considering whether to focus on killing other Sovereigns instead.

He could probably take down one or two more. But letting You Hong escape left Wu Yuan feeling unsatisfied. To have employed so many tactics and not kill even one late-stage Sovereign?

Should I use my final trump card? No! Killing just You Hong's ether body isn't worth it. Wu Yuan immediately rejected the idea.

Just as Wu Yuan decided to give up, an immense, all-encompassing fog materialized, completely submerging the vast heaven and earth. The earthy yellow fog, resembling both a sea of fog and a flowing river, instantly collided with the Yin-Yang domain Sovereign You Hong had deployed.

The Yin-Yang domain began to dissipate, while the earthy-yellow sea of fog advanced relentlessly, clearly gaining the upper hand.

"What?"

"Such a powerful domain, this sea of fog?"

"It's actually suppressing Sovereign You Hong’s domain." The seven observing Sovereigns were shocked: "Could it be an Eldritch Court powerhouse?"

"Who is it?"

"Sovereign Xiang Yun!!"

"Another late-stage Sovereign powerhouse!"

...

When that earthy-yellow sea of fog enveloped the area, Wu Yuan, Sovereign Feng Huang, Sovereign You Hong, and the others were initially stunned.

Immediately after, a deep voice resonated within the vast domain: "Brother Wu Yuan, kill You Hong, quick!"

In an instant, several Eldrith Court Sovereigns' faces lit up with joy, while those of the Immortal Court twisted.

"Brother Xiang Yun, you've arrived," Sovereign Feng Huang was overjoyed.

Xiang Yun? Wu Yuan's eyes brightened as he realized who the new arrival was.

There were currently two late-stage Sovereigns from the Eldritch Court's Long Shan Saintdom within the Well of Life. One was Sovereign Feng Huang, and the other was Sovereign Xiang Yun.

Sovereign Xiang Yun's strength was extremely formidable, surpassing Sovereign Feng Huang and perhaps rivaling Sovereign Qing Ling of the Greenridge Macrocosm.

Xiang Yun? How did he arrive first? Sovereign You Hong immediately grew anxious. Where's Yuan Jiu? Why hasn't he arrived yet?

Now, it was equivalent to three late-stage Sovereigns joining forces to attack her. How could Sovereign You Hong, a qi refiner Sovereign, not be anxious?

Boom! Boom! The two great domain arcane arts collided like lightning, weakening Sovereign You Hong's control over the surrounding void even further, to the point where she was subtly being suppressed. Clearly, the domain deployed by Sovereign Xiang Yun was no less powerful than Sovereign You Hong's, perhaps even stronger.

Damn it. Sovereign You Hong fled frantically, trying to widen the distance between herself and Wu Yuan. After the descent of the earthy yellow sea of fog, the Yin-Yang domain could no longer hold Wu Yuan back.

Boom! Wu Yuan flashed forward several times, quickly closing in on Sovereign You Hong, his blade rays blossoming.

"Wu Yuan, since you dare bring out your true self, you'll surely die!" Sovereign You Hong howled in fury, chains still swirling around her body in an attempt to defend.

"Whether I die or not remains to be seen, but your mana body dies now," Wu Yuan's eyes were cold as ice.

From the moment Sovereign You Hong's domain was overpowered, her fate was sealed.

Swish! Swish! Resplendent blade rays blossomed, containing boundless vitality, arduously sweeping away those chains one by one.

In a flash, Wu Yuan unleashed a storm of over a hundred blade rays, shattering Sovereign You Hong's defenses at last. One brilliant blade ray tore across the sky. A surge of fury contorted Sovereign You Hong's face before her immortal body completely disintegrated.

Sovereign You Hong, dead!

Wu Yuan waved his hand, collecting the numerous artifacts Sovereign You Hong had dropped. The vast Yin-Yang domain that had covered a billion li of outer space began to dissipate rapidly.

Then, Wu Yuan turned, charging straight for Sovereign Jian Shi, who was still fighting his ether body in the distance.

You Hong is dead? Oh well, time to leave! Sovereign Jian Shi sighed inwardly, his form quickly blurring, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed into the distance, accelerating even further. Even Wu Yuan's ether body was unable to stop him.

Suppress! Sovereign Xiang Yun deployed his domain from afar, attempting to block Sovereign Jian Shi.

Suddenly, Sovereign Jian Shi's vital aura surged, the flow of time around him changing drastically. He seemed to have employed some heaven-defying secret art, maintaining his speed even under the domain's suppression. Soon, he escaped beyond the range of Sovereign Xiang Yun's domain.

When a body refiner Sovereign who comprehended Spacetime was desperately fleeing for his life, it was extremely difficult to intercept them.

"Kill them!"

"Slay the remaining ones." Wu Yuan wasn't too surprised. If Sovereign Jian Shi were so easy to kill, Sovereigns of Space wouldn't have such a great reputation.

His true self and ether body immediately turned to attack Sovereign Wu Guang and the others who were still battling Sovereign Feng Huang.

"We can't escape."

"Kill!"

"Damn Eldritch Court scum."

"Cursed Wu Yuan."

Abandoned and completely trapped within the domain, Sovereign Wu Guang, Sovereign An Wu, Sovereign Bi Qu, and the others realized they had little chance of escape. Their attacks grew frenzied as they howled and cursed.

However, under the joint assault of three late-stage Sovereign powerhouses – Wu Yuan, Sovereign Feng Huang, and Sovereign Xiang Yun – their struggles were in vain. In just a few breaths, they were all slaughtered.

When the disparity in strength was too great, and one was bound by a domain, even body refiner Sovereigns could only withstand a few saber strikes before falling.

Finally, the vast nebula fell quiet.

Amidst the sea of fog, only the imposing figures of the Eldritch Court Sovereigns remained, their auras formidable. The presence of three late-stage Sovereign powerhouses was incredibly intimidating.

In the distant void, the number of observing Sovereigns had now reached nine. Many sighed, understanding that this great battle between the Immortal Court and Eldritch Court’s Sovereigns had ended in a complete victory for the Eldritch Court’s side. Even Sovereign You Hong's mana body had perished.

These observing Sovereigns no longer harbored any thoughts of seizing Wu Yuan's Xiantian artifact.
