Chapter 572 Regression!!!
At the moment that the Main Body of the Immortal Empress appeared, Alex quickly realized that things are about to escalate. And this realization of his was confirmed when out of nowhere, another split in the space has appeared.
This time around, what came out of this new split was the Main Body of the Arcane Sorceress herself, with the same smirk on her face still present as she dispelled her energy clone.
\u003c\u003c\u003cHohoho, Traveler Alex, I like your approach with your Abyss Magic. Instead of magnifying the precision of your curses, you have decided to create domains based on the Seven Sins. Impressive, impressive. \u003e\u003e\u003e The Arcane Sorceress said with a smile, although her eyes were not happy as she stared at the Immortal Empress.
\u003c\u003c\u003cTraveler Alex, these Abyssal Domains of yours will be a great help once you try to reach the Dao Domain Stage in your Immortal Cultivation. Since you already have the experience of making Domains, then reaching the Dao Domain Stage will just be easy… Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can't believe you are this talented in Immortal Cultivation too! Argh, now I just want to kidnap you more! Surely… you're talented in Sorcery too!\u003e\u003e\u003e
After saying these words, the Main Body of the Arcane Sorceress made a grabbing motion towards Alex, making it apparent that she was attempting to take him away once more.
Once he saw this, Alex let out a sigh of frustration, as he perfectly knew what would happen next.
Surely, another fight will break out between the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress. This time however, it will be their Main Bodies involved.
With this kind of stakes, there is no way that Alex will stay in this hut anymore, even with the supervision of the Great TimeMaster.
After all, the grudge between the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress was so deep, that Alex was 100% sure that their next fight will be extremely disastrous. Since it will be like that, then Alex will not linger on this place longer!
"Woosh."
Without any further ado, Alex quickly dispelled his Abyss Energy Body, with his Abyssal Pillar disappearing into the void. This resulted on the disappearance of his Abyss Domain, something that he had expected to happen.
"…."
Once his body went back to its normal form, Alex let out a low grunt as his skin changed color again.
This time, his skin began to adopt a golden glow, with a small crown slowly materializing above his head.
"Hong~"
A majestic throne appeared behind him, which Alex quickly used as his seat. He then slashed his hand down, which resulted on the sudden alteration of the natural laws.
"Shua…" The firmly shut door of Sierra's hut began to sway open as Alex continued to apply his power, with the interference placed on it earlier now starting to sway under Alex's golden aura. This continued to happen for a several seconds, and it only stopped once the door became fully open.
|||You-||| Upon seeing what Alex was doing, the nearby Immortal Empress frowned, as if she found his actions detestable. |||Why are you running? You're my Junior Brother, so you should stay here!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cYes, you should stay, Traveler Alex. Just let me grab you by my hand, and I assure you, you will be under my care, hehehe…\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||Hey, shut it, Arcane Sorceress! If you try to lay your hands on Alex again, I will make sure to kill your Main Body now! Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of fighting you?|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cHeh, just try and fight me, Immoral Empress. Let's see if your powers had already imporved after your training. Surely you could have improved, since you have no spouse to f**k with….\u003e\u003e\u003e
|||You!!!|||
"Um, I don't think I will stay any longer here, Senior Sister. I think… I really have to leave now. Why don't we just meet each other once everyone has calmed down?" Alex said slyly as he began to dash towards the now opened door. The golden aura surrounding his body continued to roil as he did this, which was his obvious attempt to speed himself up. "I can't afford to be within the crosshairs of your fight after all!"
|||Hey!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cHey!\u003e\u003e\u003e
It was plainly obvious to anyone what Alex just did. Through the use of his Sixth Stage Conqueror's Aura, Alex has manipulated the naturals laws in order to find a way for him to escape.
Granted, this world is not under his rule yet, but with the Starting Village already conquered by his association, Alex can already assume a semblance of control inside the Starting Village.
This allowed him to forcefully break the seal placed on the hut, something that the Immortal Empress have placed earlier to prevent him from running.
"Hahaha, bye bye!" With the Immortal Emproess and Arcane Sorceress occupied with each other, it appeared as if Alex was about to make his way out of the hut. He was already a few centimeters away from the exit, and with the current state of events, it is already inevitable for Alex to escape.
But before his hand could touch the outside air, someone else inside the hut began to make her move, which essentially stopped Alex from moving.
"Alex, you don't need to run away anymore. I will personally… put a stop to this stupid fight." The Great TimeMaster, whose face wore a livid and furious look, calmly said these words to Alex, although the cold tone in her voice showed that she was anything but calm. "The Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress had repeatedly ignored my warnings, even when I already pleaded them to stop. Because of these behaviors, I have decided… to punish them now."
"!!!"
The Great TimeMaster appeared to be extremely angry, and it was obvious that the focus of her rage was not on Alex.
Her rage was focused on no other than the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress, who were now both staring at the Great TimeMaster with fear and panic.
|||You're punishing us, Great TImeMaster? Surely you must be joking, right? There's no way that you-|||
\u003c\u003cCome on, Great TimeMaster. W-we're friends, right? Surely you won't-\u003e\u003e\u003e
"Shut up the two of you. You already tested the limits of my patience since earlier, so you should feel happy that I managed to last this long…" The Great TImeMaster sounded unconvinced by the pleas of the two women, with her reaction comparable to that of a disappointed Asian parent. "I could have tolerated your actions if you stopped fighting. But not only did you not stop, you even brought your Main Bodies here just to fight! Do you know how much pissed that made me? Hmph, I am so pissed now, that all I want is to punish you two!"
"Boom!" An explosion of aura then occurred around the Great TImeMaster's body, which was followed by the materialization of her Green Boat. It floated silently above her, with the boat's almost complete body releasing a frightening aura.
Once it has appeared, the nearby Immortal Empress and Arcane Sorceress let out small shrieks of fear, as if they had seen their end.
|||Run!|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cRun!!!\u003e\u003e\u003e
The two Half-Step Transcendents looked like they had lost their courage upon seeing the boat. They seem to be not interested on fighting each other anymore, as they seem to be more interested on leaving.
Without wasting any time, they tried to run away from the Great TimeMaster, with all of their powers spent fully on their escape.
The current Immortal Empress' body was now covered by countless glowing stars, which allowed her to widen the spatial tear behind her. As for the Arcane Sorceress, her head was covered by millions of runic symbols, which led to the stabilization of the spatial tear beside her.
Once these spatial tears were manipulated enough, the two women tried entering them, as if they were using it as their escape path. This kind of technique looked like it might work, but in face of a livid Great TimeMaster, these escape tactics seem to be nothing but child's play.
"Alex tell me…. Among all the Half-Step Transcendents alive, who do you think can be considered as the strongest?" The Great TImeMaster leisurely said as she flicked her finger down. This action resulted on the descent of her boat towards the escaping duo. "Will it be the oldest one? Or will it be the one with the most abilities? Alex, what do you think?"
"….." Alex was only silent, with his eyes seemingly stuck on what the Great TimeMaster was doing.
The gradual descent of the boat has begun to affect the escaping women. Their previously lively actions were now affected, with the Immortal Empress' boosted speed now slowed down, and the Arcane Sorceress twitchy actions now visible to the naked eye.
These changes seemed to have made the two women panic more, with these two trying to pump more power on their bodies.
This only made the Great TimeMaster scoff, as if she was watching a futile attempt.
"Oh Alex, my power must have been too much for you, that you can't even speak. Since this is the case, then I shall answer my own question." Seeing that Alex was also restricted by her power, the Great TimeMaster only let out a sigh before continuing to talk.
"Alex…. The one that will be considered strongest among the Half-Step Transcendents is the person whose Personal Law is close to completion. The closer this person's Personal Law to completion is, the more 'transcendent' and powerful that person will become." The Great TimeMaster muttered as her boat continued to move. "That is the basis for the hierarchy of Half-Step Transcendent everywhere, and this hierarchy also applies in this world."
"…."
"Alex, do you know why the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress are so scared of me now? It is because my Personal Law is 99.99% complete, making me extremely close to Transcendence. Compared to the paltry 50% completion rate of the Immortal Empress and the 51% completion rate of the Arcane Sorceress, my Personal Law is way more powerful than them."
"…"
"In fact, out of all the Half-Step Transcendents in this planet, I am the one nearest to Transcendence, making me technically, the strongest being here… Now, do you understand why these two are scared?"
"…"
"Oh right, you can't still talk well Alex. Since you can't express yourself, then just watch carefully as I punish these two! Witness my power Alex, and engrave my actions with your very eyes! Watch… and behold the real power of yours truly, the Great TimeMaster!"
"!!!"
[TIME AND SPACE ANNALS: EDICT OF REGRESSION!]
"Boom!" After she had uttered these words, the Great TimeMaster's Green Boat suddenly exploded to pieces, with its fragments scattering everywhere like a fragmented bomb. Most of these fragments disappeared, but a small part of them hit the Immortal Empress and Arcane Sorceress head on.
Once it made contact with their skins, the fragments sank in their bodies, which was followed by shrieks of pleading from the two.
|||Mercy, Great TimeMaster! Please, you still owe me-|||
\u003c\u003c\u003cAhhh!! Don't do this, Great TimeMaster! I promise I will-\u003e\u003e\u003e
"Hmph, just accept my punishment, and learn from it!"
