Chapter 816: Battle Against Soul Projection (5)
Chapter 816: Battle Against Soul Projection (5)
Among the six major sects of the Rosecloud Domain, Horizon Ocean Pavilion was publicly acknowledged as the sect most proficient in the Dao of Space.
Their founding ancestor had been an Immortal Platform Titan who had entered the Dao of Space, so their foundational arts had been established on the Dao of Space. Their first Dao armament, Horizon Ocean Pavilion, was also a Space Dao armament, and their Oceancrosser Step was the Rosecloud Domain's number one movement art because it could be combined with the Dao of Space. Only someone who used the Oceancrosser Step after comprehending the Dao of Space could be considered to be using the true Oceancrosser Step.
The message talisman that Xu Miaoran and Tang Jie had used to establish their romantic relationship had also been closely linked to the Dao of Space. Horizon Ocean Pavilion had been far more creative than one could imagine in this aspect. Whether it was their Dao armaments, arts, or Divine Connections, they were all connected to the Dao of Space in some way.
People had long ago speculated that the Dao Art that the Jewel Immortal Sovereign had kept a secret this whole time had to be from the Dao of Space, but nobody knew the exact details of this Dao Art.
Perhaps it was some Dao Art that allowed her to move around undetected, or maybe it hid her in the endless void, or it could let her travel freely through the domain barriers. Or maybe it was just some powerful spatial attack.
Although nobody knew what type it was, since it originated from the Dao of Space, reducing the amount of space available for it to use would be the best way to deal with it. This was also why Tang Jie had used various methods to restrict the battle to within Heavenly Balance Mountain.
He dearly hoped that the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's Dao Art was a movement-type Dao Art, which would be of no use under these conditions.
Alas, the heavens were not looking out for him this time.
Gale of Dancing Void!
From the name alone, Tang Jie knew that he had run into the kind of Dao Art he had least wanted to see.A spatial attack Dao Art.
Ripples began to appear in the sky, but they were rather calm and didn't exude any astonishing energy.
But as somebody who had comprehended Space, Tang Jie could clearly sense the terrifying storm hidden behind the serenity.
Those tendrils of Space power were condensing in the air, wandering about in an unseen space, another dimension, yet they were also affecting the space Tang Jie was located in—they were creating a fissure.
A spatial fissure!
Yes, this Space power was creating numerous unseen spatial fissures.
As these fissures sliced at one on the spatial level, they ignored all toughness and could destroy all matter!
Such spatial fissures were forming around Tang Jie in great numbers.
The Gale of Dancing Void was really about creating numerous spatial fissures to attack one's opponent.
But thanks to her Dao Art, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign could control these spatial fissures.
The Space power was constantly moving around, causing the spatial fissures to move with them. The movement of the fissures would create howling gusts of wind, so the moving fissures stirred up a massive windstorm, hence the name "Gale of Dancing Void". This windstorm was the sole phenomenon observable to ordinary cultivators.
But on a level that the spectators couldn't observe, Tang Jie saw those wriggling black threads.
Whoosh!
A black thread suddenly sliced toward Tang Jie.
This was a spatial fissure moving to slice Tang Jie apart.
Tang Jie swiftly dodged, and the black thread of light shot past him.
But then another two black threads came at him, this time intersecting into a giant cross.
Tang Jie was forced to fly higher to evade.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign gasped, clearly surprised that Tang Jie could see her spatial fissures. But she quickly saw what was happening and snorted. "So you've comprehended the Dao of Space as well. Just how many Daos have you comprehended?"
"You'll find out once you beat me," Tang Jie laughed, waving his arms and unleashing a flurry of spell arts.
After cultivating the Black Yellow Treatise and merging together his various spell arts, his abilities had risen to a new level. These spell arts that he was casually throwing out had enough power packed in them to shatter the earth, and the watching cultivators shivered, shaking their heads as they realized that they would have a tough time dealing with just this barrage.
Yet these tricks were far from enough to deal with the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's Dao of Space.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign said in contempt, "A frog in a well."
With a wave of her hand, sixteen spatial fissures formed into a chessboard and flew toward Tang Jie.
Tang Jie hastily retreated, shrinking in size as he did so. Once the chessboard got close, he suddenly charged forward, flying through a gap in the web.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign was slightly surprised, and Tang Jie used this opportunity to unleash another barrage of spell arts.
As she was controlling the spatial fissures, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign could only trust in her barriers.
Despite her immense power and formidable abilities, even she couldn't endure being a punching bag. Under that ceaseless deluge, she finally groaned and was forced back several steps, a drop of blood appearing on the corner of her lips.
It was just a little drop, but when it fell to the ground, it transformed into a sea.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign didn't care, waving her hands and weaving the spatial fissures together to form a net.
Tang Jie knew that this was bad news. If the Jewel Immortal Sovereign were allowed to complete her web, he would have nowhere to left to run, and perhaps flying out of the valley would be his only hope of surviving.
He immediately bellowed and threw out another punch.
Heart Devouring Strike!
This punch unleashed a black wave at the Jewel Immortal Sovereign, which took the form of a vicious beast head that attempted to bite at the Jewel Immortal Sovereign. The Jewel Immortal Sovereign was unmoved, but behind her, the Grand Pure Body emerged and waved the Hand of Myriad Wonders. Hundreds of barriers were created in a flash, and in a great cacophony of collisions, the Heart Devouring Strike's strength was spent. But as a result, the Hand of Myriad Wonders shattered, the Grand Pure Body herself becoming unsteady and lightless.
Tang Jie bellowed and unleashed another punch.
Blood Spirit Strike!
Tang Jie was truly putting his life on the line this time, throwing up a large mouthful of blood as he punched. This Blood Spirit Strike had not merely taken his energy, but also his own physical strength. It was a punch that the Grand Pure Body could not block, and at this moment, the Supreme Pure Body appeared, throwing out the golden hoop and basket of flowers to block this attack.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign used this chance to complete her net of spatial fissures.
Although those cultivators who had not comprehended Space could not see these fissures or feel their danger, they could see from Tang Jie's frantic expression and the hurricane tearing through the valley that this was a particularly fraught moment of the battle.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign thrust her hands forward, pushing the net at Tang Jie. "Tang Jie, you still have time to retreat out of the valley, or else there will be no way to escape. Don't have the Basking Moon Sect blame me for not warning you."
She shouted these words to explain herself to the Basking Moon Sect, such was her confidence in this attack.
Tang Jie raised an eyebrow. "You think you've won?"
His body suddenly began to distort as he took a step forward.
The Chaoswind Step.
As the Jewel Immortal Sovereign had entered the Dao of Space, all the Space power here was under her control. Without her permission, Tang Jie could not use Space-type spell arts like the Chaoswind Step. But at this moment, Tang Jie had unleashed all that he had comprehended of the power of Space. Although he had not entered this Dao, by putting up everything he had, he could barely manage this move.
He instantly disappeared and reappeared behind the net.
Right after escaping the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's net, Tang Jie punched at her. "You're dead this time!"
Corpse Soul Strike!
The Grand and Supreme Pure Bodies had already been exhausted, the golden hoop broken, the Myriad Wonders shattered, the basket emptied of flowers, the snake defanged, the Three Purities World receded, and the Fireglass Snakes heavily injured, and the original herself was controlling the spatial fissures. There was no one left to block Tang Jie's final strike.
Just when it seemed like this punch was about to decide the match, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign suddenly laughed.
This laugh had all the spectators stunned, all of them inwardly groaning in unison!
An azure lotus blossom bloomed out of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign.
Xu Miaoran was alarmed at the sight of this lotus blossom, shouting, "The Jade Ocean Lotus? Sect Master!?"
The Jade Emptiness Immortal Sovereign simply snorted.
The Jade Ocean Lotus was the number two Dao armament of Horizon Ocean Pavilion. The Horizon Ocean Pavilion was a strategic-level Dao armament, but the Jade Ocean Lotus was for individual use.
This item was normally held by the Jade Emptiness Immortal Sovereign, but it wasn't strange for Jewel to have it.
But for a mighty Soul Projection Celestial Sovereign to use a Dao armament against a junior was a little shameful. After all, Tang Jie hadn't even used the Myriad Immortals Cauldron or Imperial Sky Stamp. Of course, this was mainly because neither of them was suitable for a duel.
Like the Imperial Sky Stamp, the Jace Ocean Lotus was established in the Dao of Life, but while the Imperial Sky Stamp emphasized fusion, the Jade Ocean Lotus emphasized rebirth.
The lotus slowly bloomed, exuding mystery and wonder.
As the azure lotus bloomed, the Grand and Supreme Pure Bodies were restored to their prime. Even the shattered golden hoop, Hand of Myriad Wonders, emptied flower basket, and slain snake were reborn!
This was the power of the Jade Ocean Lotus. It could bring back more than just living creatures, but also existences and treasures that contained soul.
The withered Three Purities World was reborn, shining with a brilliant glow. Amidst a heavenly choir, the shattered Jade Pure Body was reborn.
The Three Pure Bodies were reunited, merging with Jewel, the four bodies resonating with each other to create a most hallowed and supreme intonation.
Thus, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign became the sole existence in the world.
Strong, mighty, unparalleled.
All attacks and schemes, all hard-thought plans, came to nothing.
Through the Jade Ocean Lotus, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign was restored to her prime!
As for Tang Jie, his Reflections of Floating Life were suppressed by the spatial fissures, the Infinite Palace was temporarily out of action, and he had already used eleven of the strikes of the Combat Emperor Catalog. Tang Jie had only one punch left, but could a single strike take down the Jewel Immortal Sovereign at her strongest?
