Chapter 429 - Taking One’s Divinity
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Faced with Elder Brent’s Wind Ripple Daggers that blanketed the sky, Fabris had no choice but to give up on his pursuit of killing Yang Ling. After snorting coldly, he flew sideways away, with a whooshing sound.
“Your attack capability is not bad, but too bad, your understanding of the Law of Wind is at a low level. You’re only left with a bit of Divine Power!” Looking at Elder Brent, who had cast his Divine Domain and was flying towards him, Fabris paused and coldly continued, “Even if you were to train for another thousand years, you will not be a match for me. If you are willing to hand over your Divinity, I may be able to let you live. If not…”
Hand over his Divinity?
Elder Brent felt a physical jolt, and his heart sank deeper as he realized that this would be a battle to the death. To a Divine Level Expert, handing over his Divinity meant that he would be rendered a useless person.
He had trained in Wind Spells for over ten thousand years. He had only ascended to the level of Low-level Deity after much effort and suffering. If he were to lose his Divinity, he would never be able to train in Wind Spells ever again. Not to mention the powerful Wind Ripple Dagger, he was afraid that he might not even be able to cast a small tornado. If he wanted to start over and train in other spells such as of the Fire Element or Earth Element and reach the Divine Level again, it would be more difficult than ascending to heaven!
The battle to the death, or…?
Looking at the stoned-faced Fabris opposite him, Elder Brent hesitated in indecision. The other party was simply too powerful. Not only was he extremely fast, but he also had an astonishing defense. Even his sharp Wind Ripple Dagger did not leave a single mark on the other party’s armor.
Peak of Low-level Deity…The other party at least had the power of someone at the peak of a Low-level Deity!
If he were to face him head-on, he would definitely not be the other party’s match. Not to mention that his Divine Power was already mostly depleted, even at its peak, he had no chance of winning. For now, the wisest thing he could do would only be to quickly leave at once. But, in that case, Yang Ling would definitely not be able to come out of this alive. If he were to bring him along, he was afraid that in the end, both of them would not be able to leave!
What to do?
Just as Elder Brent was hesitating, Fabris snorted coldly, and pounced with lightning speed!
“Knife Domain!”
As Fabris gave a loud roar, threads of coldly glinting Knife Aristas suddenly appeared beside him, emitting savage energy. A few Barbarian soldiers who could not dodge in time were all instantly cut into pieces!
“Yang Ling, go, go quickly!” Seeing that there was no time to flee, Elder Brent gritted his teeth and bore the attack, waving his hand to launch a wave of sharp Wind Ripple Daggers, while telling Yang Ling to leave quickly.
Pfft…
In order to quickly wrap up the battle, Fabris did not hide nor dodge, treating the Wind Ripple Daggers that were inches away from him like it was nothing, ruthlessly cleaving his blade onto Elder Brent’s body. In that instant, Elder Brent, who did not have time to dodge or hide, opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The green-colored Wind Barrier on his body wavered, almost falling apart at a knife strike from the other party. Even though the Wind Ripple Daggers, which was his best effort, left marks on the other party’s armor, it was not able to deal with a fatal strike at all.
The Law of Death?
Elder Brent went pale in shock and hastily flew away sideways, trying his best to put more distance between himself and the other party. The people who trained in the Law of Death were all insane fellows. Especially Fabris, who had mastered the so-called Knife Domain, was even more so an Expert who had trained in close physical combat. If Fabris managed to come close to him, not to mention that he would not be able to keep his Divinity, he feared that if he was not careful, his spirit and body would both be destroyed.
Apart from Experts who trained in Space Domain, the Wind Element was fastest in the Divine Level. Relying on his teleportation-like speed, Brent traveled all over, hoping to buy some time for Yang Ling to retreat.
The battle between the Divine Level Experts was intense, and in the blink of an eye, the building around the discussion room was completely destroyed by the shockwaves of the battle. The earthshaking slaughter rapidly caught people’s attention, and people like Alice and Sophia quickly rushed over.
“Brother Yang, don’t move yet!” Seeing the bloodstains on the people like Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King, Sophia held her Staff and started chanting, rapidly releasing a green light of Life Force.
Immersed within the green light, Yang Ling felt cooling energy seep into his body, rapidly healing his injuries from within. His badly shaken Wizard Core also started to calm down. The huge gash on the Dark Dragon King’s stomach quickly stopped bleeding, and the breathing of the Flying Dragon King, whose life was hanging by a thread, also stabilized…Only Immet, who had lost a large number of Scorpions, was still breathing but weak.
After training in the Puppet Wizard Mantra, he could take tens of thousands of different forms. As long as one Scorpion had luckily survived, then he would be able to escape death. If there were no more Scorpions, he could use the Scorpions within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and replenish them rapidly, but he did not have time to recall his Divine Knowledge, which was possessed within the Scorpions, causing his spirit to be greatly damaged!
“Sophia, quick, use the Teleportation Formation to leave Jaboli. Hurry!” After swallowing half a bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life to further recover from his injuries, Yang Ling gravely gave a command and immediately activated the Restrictions thereafter.
With a touch, Elder Brent immediately vomited blood. This demonstrated how Fabris’ power was far beyond anyone’s expectations. As Elder Klive had said, an ordinary Divine Level Expert was definitely not Fabris’ match. Now, he could only pin his hopes on the Restrictions, hoping that it could greatly reduce the either party’s power, and fully trap him inside the Restriction.
“Eh, Ancient Spell Formation?”
Seeing that his surrounding environment had suddenly changed into an ancient forest that covered tens of thousands of miles, gravity had suddenly multiplied in strength, and hidden energy permeated the air, Fabris jolted in shock. He did not expect that the lightning-fast Brent would be so difficult to deal with. All the more, he did not expect to become careless and step into the other party’s ambush, trapped in an Ancient Spell Formation.
As an Expert within the inner circle of the Templars, he had gotten to know many secrets that others did not know about. In ancient times, Spell Formations were not just simply used for the purpose of teleportation. It could greatly increase one’s speed of training, it could even create illusions of all things, trapping enemies to their deaths once they step into the trap. Legend had it that the Ancient Wizards were masters at setting Ancient Spell Formations. If one accidentally stepped into their traps, even the Divine Level Experts and powerful evil demons would not be able to escape death.
The Spell Formation could take many forms. Thankfully, the power of the person who laid the formation was too weak and could not fully unleash the Ancient Spell Formation’s terrifying capabilities!
After closing his eyes and carefully feeling his surroundings for a while, Fabris snorted coldly, charging towards Elder Brent, who was not far away, at lightning speed. Relying on his powerful Divine Knowledge, he rapidly saw through the various illusions and found the positions of everyone. Once he had killed off Brent, the most powerful of the other side, the others who were left would cause him no worry.
Although he would not be able to train in Wind Divinity of the other party’s, it would not be a bad idea to give it as a gift to someone else once he had returned to the City Amongst the Clouds!
After gaining an understanding of Brent’s power, Fabris smiled coldly. After training in the Law of Energy and Law of Death, he no longer had the energy to understand and train in the Law of Wind. But, this did not mean that there was no use in getting Brent’s Divinity. It would be no problem for him to exchange it for a low-level Divine Weapon back at the City Amongst the Clouds, which was full of Experts.
Taking the opportunity while Fabris was lost in thought, Elder Brent swallowed a bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life that Yang Ling had passed over and rapidly healed his injuries. Thereafter, he continued his wandering battle with Fabris. Relying on his fast speed, he swerved left and dodged right, trying his best to increase the distance between him and the other party.
“Hmph, where else can you run to?”
After sensing that the hidden energy waves in the air were getting more and more obvious, Fabris, to prevent the battle from dragging out, decisively stacked the Energy Realm on top of the foundation of the Knife Domain. Instantly, his speed and strength multiplied. Regardless of the threat of the Wind Ripple Blades, he pounced to the front of Brent with lightning speed and ruthlessly demolished the latter’s green glow that was protecting him with a strike of his knife. He then continued to chop off Brent’s right arm clean off at the shoulder! Immediately after, he went straight for Yang Ling without stopping.
A fatal strike?
Seeing that Fabris had thoroughly exploded with power and that not only was he not affected by the Restriction, but he was also able to cause severe injury to Elder Brent with just a strike, Yang Ling went pale with shock, and decisively used the Earth Evasion Technique to teleport away.
“Ice Sealing the Environment!”
After a roar, he teleported to the back of Fabris. He then cast his Ice-sealing Domain and used the Restriction to try his best to weaken the other party’s Divine Domain and oppression, forming the bone-chilling Ice Wind Storm. In his desperateness, the number of micro Soul Slaughtering Arrows increased greatly, reaching an unprecedented level of 1500 arrows. At the same time, he plunged the sharp Blood Elf Dagger straight into the other party’s back, while he chanted the Soul Explosion Wizard Mantra silently, preparing to directly attack the other party’s soul from a close distance.
The Blood Elf Dagger was sharp and extremely hard. It could even cut through the so-called hardest metal on the continent, the Star Metal. Yang Ling did not believe that there were any weak spots on Fabris’s armor, and did not believe that the other party’s soul was made of metal!
“Hehe, you’re looking for death!” Seeing Yang Ling pouncing towards him without considering his own abilities, Fabris laughed coldly, and with a flash of silver light, ruthlessly slammed a knife into Yang Ling’s chest.
Ah…
Upon touching each other, both parties let out pained howls. The Ground Guardian and Ice-sealing Throne helped Yang Ling to block out the big, sharp knife, but the strong energy still passed through his body, and with a merciless hit of the knife, he flew away. In an instant, spots of blood appeared all over his body. He almost had his tendons entirely severed, and blood was dripping from his body.
Yang Ling had nearly been killed with a blow, but the careless Fabris was also suffering.
The Ice Wind Storm might be unable to pierce through his strong physical defense, and the Blood Elf Dagger only managed to leave a mark on his armor and was unable to go further, but Yang Ling’s sneaky Soul Explosion caught him off-guard and caused a sharp pain in his head. It was as if a dagger had been ruthlessly stabbed into it.
How many years had it been since he had been injured? Five hundred years, or five thousand years?
In anger, Fabris thoroughly exploded. Within the area that the Knife Domain enveloped, everything was cut into pieces. With a whooshing sound, he charged towards Yang Ling, who was severely wounded and lying on the ground.
After mastering the Knife Domain, he could still get injured in the hands of an insignificant Domain Expert. If the news got out, he would not have any face left to return to the City Amongst the Clouds! He needed to use the blood and soul of the despicable fellow, to wash away the shame Yang Ling brought upon himself!
Fabris was astonishingly fast, but just as he was about to chop off Yang Ling’s head with the knife, Yang Ling, who was lying on the ground, eerily disappeared.
At that critical moment, Yang Ling gritted his teeth and teleported away, agitatedly charging for the Great Wizard Altar, not too far away.
Fabris might be very powerful, powerful beyond people’s imagination, but it did not mean that he had no weak spot. As they touched each other, even though Yang Ling was unable to severely injure him, he discovered Fabris’ weak point – his soul.
The soul is the foundation of all things. Even a deity of the highest level would get injured if his soul were to suffer from a great impact. And as a Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling’s greatest attack was not the chilly Ice Wind Storm, nor was it the sharp Blood Elf Dagger. It was the control and attack of the part an ordinary person was unable to touch, the soul!
