Yuan's Ascension

The changes took place too swiftly.

The Law of Thunder was already exceptionally adept at speed, second only to the Law of Space and comparable to the Law of Wind. Combined with Mu Long exerting his full effort and launching a surprise attack, the result was devastating.

Boom! In the blink of an eye, Mu Long had already made his way past the Immortal Court's black-armored High Deity and red-robed High Immortal, rapidly closing in on High Immortal Nan Yin.

He was like a bolt of lightning, so fast that High Immortal Nan Yin had no time to evade.

Moreover, she couldn't retreat. Earlier, she had led the army like an arrowhead, penetrating deep into enemy lines. If she were to retreat now, a rout would occur, and the Eldritch Court’s side of the central battle lane might collapse entirely.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! At that moment, over ten powerful arcane arts came crashing in from all directions. These were attacks launched immediately by the Eldritch Court's battle arrays upon seeing the dire situation, attempting to block High Deity Mu Long's advance to buy more time for High Immortal Nan Yin.

Hmph? Arcane arts? Mere tricks! High Deity Mu Long's eyes were cold as ice. The lightning surrounding his body suddenly lashed out like thunder dragons, streaking across the sky.

They struck the incoming arcane arts, causing them to crumble and dissipate. They had no effect on him whatsoever.

Boom! One of the lightning bolts released by High Deity Mu Long thundered across hundreds of thousands of li as if possessing its own consciousness, striking an ordinary battle array and destroying it immediately.

Though he was a body refiner, his long-range lightning attack had killed dozens of Archdeities.

"This?"

"Isn’t he a body refiner? He's far too powerful!"

"What kind of High Deity is this? How does he cultivate? It's incomprehensible!" Countless Eldritch Court powerhouses on this battlefield paled.

It was truly terrifying.

High Immortal Nan Yin's sword domain was powerful because she was a qi refiner, excelling in domains, restraint, and long-range attacks.

Body refiners were typically lacking in long-range attacks and other versatile techniques, relying instead on brute force and close combat to overpower arcane art assaults.

Yet this Thunder High Deity, who had suddenly emerged, demonstrated astonishing prowess in long-range combat. How much more fearsome would he be in close-quarters combat?

"Nan Yin, your strength is impressive. But since I’m here, your fate is sealed. Die!" High Deity Mu Long's cold voice resonated in High Immortal Nan Yin's mind.

Boom! He finally reached High Immortal Nan Yin. His nine war sabers swung like nine roaring divine thunderbolts, hacking savagely towards High Immortal Nan Yin.

His sabers struck like thunder! The ferocious attack caused the reinforced and stable space to shake violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Dazzling sword lights flashed before High Immortal Nan Yin. Her form flickered unpredictably as she retreated, and the sword lights before her surged like a fierce gale, clashing and colliding with those war sabers.

Space trembled! The savage High Deity Mu Long, as if mired in a swamp, had his offensive quickly halted.

Rumble! The aftermath of the battle between these two monstrous prodigies swept out in all directions, an indiscriminate attack that collapsed several battle arrays nearby, instantly annihilating large numbers of Archimmortals and Archdeities within.

Both geniuses were going all out, unable to hold back at all.

"Too terrifying."

"Retreat quickly."

"This Immortal Court High Deity and our Eldritch Court's High Immortal Nan Yin are incredibly strong, they'd certainly be considered powerhouses even among Astral Monarchs." 𝑅𝓪𝐍Ô𐌱ËŞ

"Surrounding them would have little effect." Countless immortals, deities, and eldritches on the surrounding battlefield were shocked. Such terrifying combat power far surpassed their own.

The numerous Astral Monarchs in charge of commanding the two factions also realized this and immediately changed their attack strategy.

Surrounding them with a large army? For geniuses at Jiang Huan and Jiang Ming’s level, it would be very effective.

But for those at High Eldritch Liu Hong and High Eldritch Wu Jian’s level, surrounding them would be far less effective.

As for those at High Immortal Nan Yin and High Deity Mu Long’s level, the surrounding Archimmortals and Archdeities were simply a joke. Their strength was too terrifying, approaching the combat power of the fourth-stage Astral Monarch level.

The first three stages of the Astral Monarch level were considered early-stage. The fourth to sixth stages of the Astral Monarch level were mid-stage. The gap between early and mid stages was very evident.

Nan Yin and Mu Long both possessed extremely high Dao comprehension levels, but in terms of mana, they were far behind true Astral Monarchs. Possessing such combat power was already incredibly frightening.

Therefore, the commanding Astral Monarchs of both sides very tacitly and quickly ordered their armies to avoid the area where the two geniuses were fighting.

In the void, High Deity Mu Long revealed a slight smile. "As expected of High Immortal Nan Yin, you managed to block my first wave of attacks. I hope you can block the second wave."

Before his words faded, High Deity Mu Long moved again.

This time, his sabers sped up. If they were like lightning before, they far surpassed lightning now. Each saber strike seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth. The shocking pressure made High Immortal Nan Yin's expression shift.

He was still holding back earlier? That's right, my comprehension of the Law of Wind is only at the eighth-level Dao Field stage, still some distance from the pinnacle of the Astral Monarch level. In terms of Dao comprehension, I'm indeed inferior to him. Various thoughts flashed through High Immortal Nan Yin's mind. Moreover, body refiners excel at burst power... Stall, I must stall!

With such frenzied attacks, his vital ether consumption must be enormous. If I can delay, I might still have a glimmer of hope. High Immortal Nan Yin gave up on direct confrontation.

As evidenced by her recent attempt, there was no way she could match him. Her sword lights occasionally landed on High Deity Mu Long's body, yet they had almost no effect. Meanwhile if she were hit by one of his saber strikes, she would likely perish on the spot.

Whoosh! Whoosh! In an instant, High Immortal Nan Yin changed tactics. Her flying swords now moved like a gentle breeze through space, making contact and retreating, no longer directly clashing with High Deity Mu Long, but merely slowing him down.

Combined with High Immortal Nan Yin's evasive maneuvers, High Deity Mu Long, though holding the absolute upper hand and pursuing her relentlessly, found himself unable to deal with High Immortal Nan Yin in the short term.

"No rush! Nan Yin, you may be quick to escape, but the Eldritch Court's army won't be able to hold out for long." High Deity Mu Long mocked.

He remained calm and collected. Even though his repeated attacks were fruitless, he showed no signs of urgency.

High Immortal Nan Yin's face darkened. Mu Long was right. In the brief time she had been battling with Mu Long, the Immortal Court's black-armored High Deity and red-robed High Immortal had already led their forces in a counterattack against the Eldritch Court's army. The situation was rapidly deteriorating!

If this continued for a while longer, the slight advantage she had gained earlier when leading the army would be completely reversed.

At that point, the Eldritch Court's forces would be at a disadvantage on all three battle lanes.

Defeat would become inevitable.

Hm? Wu Yuan has arrived? While fending off High Deity Mu Long's attacks, High Immortal Nan Yin was also observing the battlefield. She noticed that Wu Yuan had reached the front lines.

Let's see how capable you are. At the very least, you should be able to hold off one of the Immortal Court's geniuses. This thought flashed through High Immortal Nan Yin's mind.

But immediately after, she witnessed a scene that left her utterly shocked!

…

"Mu Long!"

"The number one genius of the Immortal Court's Ling Jiang Saintdom! He actually came to the Greenridge Macrocosm to compete for providence? Isn’t the Immortal Court valuing the Greenridge Macrocosm too highly?"

"Now that he's here, this battle is precarious for the Cang Feng Eldritch World side." Several Sovereigns observing the battle from outside the battlefield immediately noticed Mu Long's explosive power.

Mu Long's name was renowned throughout the river of space and time. Although these Sovereigns resided in the Greenridge Macrocosm in the long term, they had all heard of him. After all, geniuses of this caliber were rarely born even once in an era across the entire river of space and time.

"He's suppressing that female High Immortal from the Eldritch Court."

"As expected of Mu Long!"

"They should both have late-stage Astral Monarch comprehension, but Mu Long is clearly stronger. Rumor has it he's only one step away from the Sovereign level." These Sovereigns, with their perspective and knowledge, could naturally see this.

"Wu Yuan?"

"It seems to be him. He's finally emerged," the Sovereigns noticed the changes in the central battlefield.

…

“Nan Yin is being held back.”

“High Deity Mu Long is truly formidable. Victory is ours." The numerous Astral Monarchs on the Voltari Temple's side were incredibly excited, awed by High Deity Mu Long's overwhelming strength.

In stark contrast, within the Space Fortress of the Cang Feng Eldritch World, many Astral Monarchs were filled with worry.

The tide of battle had turned sharply, with them falling into a disadvantage in all three battlefields.

The observers from both factions harbored different thoughts, but soon after, they all noticed the towering figure that suddenly erupted into motion and charged across the central battlefield!

It was Wu Yuan! He was rushing at an astonishing speed towards the spear-wielding, black-armored High Deity on the Immortal Court's side.

"Wu Yuan?" Atop his lofty throne, Sovereign Voltari first revealed a hint of coldness. "Even if you can hold off High Deity Ji Ye, you can't reverse the course of this battle."@@novelbin@@

But an instant later, Sovereign Voltari's face twisted with shock and anger, and he stood up. "How is this possible?!"

Inside the Eldritch Court's Space Fortress.

“Wu Yuan, my disciple.” Sovereign Kua Chi's lips curved into a smile. “His body refiner self has been hiding his strength for ten thousand years, and now he's finally about to unleash his world-shaking brilliance.

After this battle, his name shall resound throughout the river of space and time.”

…

In the central battlefield, Wu Yuan was oblivious to the turmoil outside and the gazes of numerous super powerhouses fixed upon him.

High Immortal Nan Yin, with her comprehension of the Law of Wind, should be able to hold off High Deity Mu Long for a while. Though Wu Yuan had chosen to enter the fray, he was still a step behind High Deity Mu Long.

Upon seeing Mu Long unleash his full power, Wu Yuan understood—this was a formidable opponent who posed a great threat!
