Chapter 571 Domains!
"Boom boom boom!"
The clash between the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress were fortunately suppressed inside the hut, but even with that suppression, anyone nearby can feel the effects of their fight.
"Boom boom boom!"
And to make matters more obvious, flashes of light and runic symbols filled the whole area, making it quite noticeable that a fight is happening right now.
With this kind of change, everyone inside the hut except for the Arcane Sorceress and the Immortal Empress were naturally pissed, as a fight is something that is not needed right now.
"Oi you two... What the hell is this? Shouldn’t we be talking about things in a civil way? Why are you fighting then?" Alex, who was busy sucking all of the briefcases inside his storage, asked this question in a confused tone. "And Arcane Sorceress, did you just say that you’re going to kidnap me? Hmph, that’s just a fat pipe dream of yours!"
"Huong~"
Once he had kept all the ’gifts’ inside his briefcase, the previously quiet Alex began to make his move. He willed strength in his legs as he jumped away from the fighting duo, with his body morphing to form a black, amorphous body that glowed menacingly inside the hut.
This body seemed to exude the essence of evil itself, with 7 evil-looking faces materializing on his chest. Each of these faces looked young and immature, but the inherent maliciousness on their gazes were enough to make anyone who see them shiver.
As these faces appeared, Alex’s black body began to wiggle as a multi-colored pillar materialized above him. This pillar then started to shake, with a massive tree suddenly sprouting from its top, and its roots spreading out like leaking water.
"Kik kak kik kak..."
While the roots of the said tree began to slowly spread around the pillar, the aforementioned Alex let out a laugh as he confidently grabbed the pillar with both of his hands, with his grip strong enough to create cracks on it.
"Hup!"
Alex then heaved, letting out grunts of effort as he pulled the pillar closer to himself. Such action made his amorphous body shake more, but this seem to not deter him.
Instead, a greedy expression appeared on his face as he continued pulling the pillar, and this time, sounds of a rumbling volcano could be suddenly heard.
"Rumble..."
"Hunger is a basic part of any living creatures. Anyone hungers for something. It could be anything from knowledge, food, o even achievements. Being hungry is what makes living beings thrive, and without it, nobody will achieve progress..." Like a man possessed by a monk, the evil-looking Alex took time to say these ’wise’ words, with his pillar now fully grasped by his hands. "A world without hunger is an empty world. It will be void of change, and it will be nothing but boring..."
"Piak!"
Alex then swung his pillar towards his body, creating a muffled sound that impacted his torso. This made him grimace for a second, but he held this ground as he kept the pillar sticking to his body. Malicious-looking black energy then leaked out of the pillar, covering the area with its sinister aura.
This seemed to have weakened Alex more, as his knees began to wobble from the leaked energy. This however did not deter him, as he continued to grin maliciously.
Once the pillar appeared to be securely attached to his body, Alex let out a harsh laugh, with his mouth now chanting the words that quickly changed the status quo.
[ABYSS DOMAIN: HUNGER’S VOID]
"Boom!" After Alex said these words, one of the evil faces on his body let out a wail as it opened its massive mouth, releasing a sickly-looking green beam of light towards the sky. This beam went unimpeded, tearing through the sky with such force that almost anything was demolished in its path.
Once this has happened, a large seal, one that is large enough to blot the sky, suddenly materialized above the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress. This seal had an undecipherable symbol placed on it, one that is unidentifiable to those who saw it. This seal however made those who saw it feel fear, as if this unknown seal has a hidden, terrifying effect that is not yet unleashed.
"Shua...."
Before anyone could react promptly to this seal, it suddenly descended, with its entirety pressing down on the hut with a gentle tap. Nobody could stop it, as the fight between the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress was still raging at this point.
This proved to be fortunate, as at the instant that the seal touched the hut, the fighting women suddenly stopped on their tracks.
The attacks that they unleashed disappeared like they were nothing, while their faces that were filled with the intent to fight earlier only had an empty, pondering look right now, making them look like they lost interest on their match.
Heck, the attacks that they unleashed earlier did not actually disappear. These attacks were actually dispelled by the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress themselves.
This made them look like they had lost the will to fight, and that they don’t have the drive to make any more attacks.
Such kind of change brought silence inside the hut, and it was only Alex, the one who unlehesaed the seal, who began to speak again.
"Hmph, you see this seal? Heh, this is one of my newly acquire Abyss Domains. I call this the Hunger’s Void, and it makes my enemies lose their ’hunger’. That includes their hunger for material objects and concepts. Hehehe, even their hunger to win against their opponents will be lost too!" Alex seemed to be giddy as he said this, which is rightfully so, as the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress seemed to still be affected by this attack.
Even up at this point, these two women were still not attacking, They just stood still on their places, with their blank gazes concentrated on anything but their enemies.
They even ignored each other, an action that made Alex much happier.
" So my Abyss Domain is this strong? Good, if this is the case, then my other Abyss Domains will be better too...." After muttering these words to himself, Alex then looked towards the Great TimeMaster, who only looked back at him with a measured gaze. "Hehehe, what do you think about my attack, Great TImeMaster? Isn’t it powerful?"
"Yes, this Abyss Domain of yours is absolutely useful in a fight. However, don’t expect this to be of use here." The Great TimeMaster calmly replied, which doused off Alex’s enthusiasm.
"What do you mean it’s no use here? Look at what I did! I managed to stop these two women from fighting! Isn’t that enough?"
"Hmph, the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress that you see right now are just Energy Clones. They are not their real bodies, so of course it will be easy for you to stop them." The Great TImeMaster sneered as she replied, with the disdain in her face now perfectly visible. "What’s with that look? You thought you managed to be great now, just with that attack? Come on..."
"..."
"Alex, your Abyss Domains might be powerful, but that is not enough to affect us, the Returning Travelers. You’re lucky that the ones that you attacked were the Energy Clones of the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress. Because if their real bodies were here, they might have accidentally counter-attacked you..." The Great TimeMaster said, this time with her fingers wagging towards Alex. "If that really happened, even I might not be able to protect you."
"..."
"..."
"....Um, well, at least I managed to stop the two from fighting, okay? There’s no need for you to be this uptight...." Alex complainingly said, as he found no proper retort to what the Great TimeMaster just uttered. "Do you really have to make me feel this down? Come on, Great TimeMaster. At least make me feel like I have achieved something here."
"Alex... talk about your achievements once you have raised both your Immortal Cultivation and your Superhuman Body to the Sixth Stage. Once that time comes, I think you have the right to be proud..."
"Huh? What do you-"
"Oh and Alex? Don’t be complacent that you managed to stop the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress. Even though you have stopped their Energy Clones from fighting, their main bodies are still unaffected.... So don’t think that this fight is over." The Great TimeMaster seemed to enjoy herself as she said this, a reaction that made Alex look at her weirdly.
"This fight is not over? What are you-"
Before Alex could fully articulate this question, a familiar voice interrupted him.
|||T’was a nice domain, Junior Brother. You said that was derived from your Abyssal Pillar? Good, if that’s true, then your comprehension abilities are top-notch. That makes your chance of making your Immortal Soul much higher in the future. Hehehe, as expected of my junior brother! That’s how talented you should be! But don’t think that I am happy with you, Junior Brother. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That was rude of you, stopping my fight. Do you think you have the right to stop that?|||
"!!!"
A massive split in the space materialized in front of Alex, which was then followed by a tall, beautiful woman stepping out of the split.
This woman looked exactly like the Energy Clone Immortal Empress, which made Alex tense.
To make matters even more interesting, this newly-arrived woman looked to be even much more powerful than her look-alike. To demonstrate this, this woman snapped her fingers upon her arrival, which affected the Energy Clone Immortal Empress.
"Woosh..."
Like a dust blown away by the wind, the Energy Clone Immortal Empress dissipated into motes of Immortal Qi, which was then absorbed by the body of the newly-arrived woman. Once this has happened, the newly-arrived woman let out a satisfied smile, as if she had regained something that was hers.
She then looked back at Alex, who was now staring at her with comprehension dawning on his face.
"You... you are..."
There’s no more doubt to Alex anymore. With the capabilities that she had shown, this woman who just arrived was most definitely the Main Body of the Immortal Empress!
|||What’s the matter, Junior Brother? You never thought that I will be bold to bring my Main Body here? Come on, I was already having some fun with the Arcane Sorceress, so don’t expect your paltry domain to stop me... That woman has to pay for insulting me, and she also has to pay for her attempt to take you away!|||
"...."
|||Don’t worry about anything else Junior Brother. Since my Main Body is here, then even if that Arcane Sorceress arrives with that ugly Main Body of hers, I can still protect you! So just stay still there, and let me fight! Oh, and please don’t try using your Abyss Domains on us. Wait until you have reached Half-Step Transcendence, or once you have all your powers reach Sixth Stage if you want to really join in the battle....|||
