Chapter 1005: Aftermath
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Fang Xingjian fell silent for a moment. It was true that the powers the Crown Princess displayed were very strong. Most importantly, the Crown Princess had not relied on any unique skill or unrivaled technique but the great power of her origin source.
A powerful martial will allowed her to not lose out in any confrontation.
After all, at tier six of the Divine level, the physical body and conjured physique were no longer of any importance. A person’s martial will was their true form, and there were no vital points at all.
If one wished to kill a tier six Divine level expert, they would have to wipe out all of the other party’s martial will. Regardless of the means used, there would almost always be a collision between their martial wills.
Although it was not as if Fang Xingjian did not have any means to kill the Crown Princess, he had no way of assuring the safety of the millions or even billions of people on the ground.
He asked Ulpian outright, “What you do plan on doing?”
“Fighting against the heavens.”
Fang Xingjian was asking how Ulpian planned on dealing with the Crown Princess, but the latter’s reply was actually his next goal.
The Crown Princess now had the upper hand, and streams of big golden imprints scattered down like meteors, pushing everyone back repeatedly.
Even the ten Guardian Kings’ figures were crumbling, and a large part of their martial wills had shattered. The Immortality Saint and the Oceansky Saint were both at their limits as well. Their martial wills were being wiped out slowly, dissipating into the air.
‘Damn it, I’m at my limits,’ the Oceansky Saint sighed and started to think of an escape route.
In the bug nest in another world, the Purple Mage King’s brows furrowed tightly as she looked at the battle scene, saying, “Who on earth is this woman? How can she be so powerful? Even though she is at tier six of the Divine level, this is too exaggerated!”
The Chaos Witch sighed, unable to say a word.
They had thought that since the Phenomenal Saint had obtained 14 sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword and even cleared the trial to reach tier six of the Divine level, he would probably be able to dominate across the entire continent.
However, it was then that six experts from the Western Land whose strength were beyond reasonable limits suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Each of them had reached tier six of the Divine level, causing the Phenomenal Saint to be unable to retaliate.
Fang Xingjian, who had appeared later, was even more amazing. His unbelievable sword arts had attacked the six people, making them suffer a crushing defeat.
When the Crown Princess appeared, that extremely majestic martial will had caused everyone to be on tenterhooks. The Chaos Witch even suspected that the Crown Princess would be able to sink the entire southern part of the continent just by releasing her martial will violently.
Then just as everyone were astonished by that unbelievably majestic martial will, a strange pressure came down onto the battlefield.
‘Hmmm?’
The Crown Princess raised her head and looked upward, sensing a pressure that sank all the way down to her bone marrow. It made her want to escape quickly. However, given her arrogance, how could she really escape? Instead, two beams of golden light shot out from her eyes, sweeping out toward the entire sky.
“Who’s there?!”
Concurrently, several thousand huge golden hands suddenly appeared behind the Crown Princess. They took on all sorts of positions, surrounding and defending her.
Faced with the Crown Princess’ enraged bellow, there was no reply from the sky.
There was no reply, no wave, no sign whatsoever. Yet an extremely domineering pressure came pressing down outright like the heavens had really collapsed.
Without a trace, without any agonizing cries, and without any resistance, Hei Zi and Bai Zi had already turned into dust under this terrifying pressure.
It was as if they had been struck by an invisible hammer which could not be seen by the naked eye, instantly pressed into a thin film. Then they turned into a myriad of light spots that dissipated into the sky.
The Crown Princess was also instantly pressed into a deformed state by this invisible pressure, twisting endlessly in midair like a strand of noodle.
Accompanied by a furious bellow from her, a beam of golden light that seemed material shot out from her body, expelling that pressure. She also started to recover as she pushed back against it.
“Who’s there?!
“Get out here!”
The Crown Princess let out a furious bellow that sounded as if the stars had exploded. The entire space started to seethe due to this intense energy change. An astonishing martial will kept on shooting out from her body just like many burning stars.
Right now, the Crown Princess was like a female sovereign that ruled over the entire world, emitting an alluring charm from her beautiful body.
Accompanied by the appearance of her martial will, the ether particles started to become chaotic and disorderly. Endless streaks of lightning and flames appeared in the sky. It was like the entire world was frightened by her fury.
However, her retaliation did not last for long. After less than one second, she had already stopped recovering, and all the lightning and flames in the sky disappeared.
As an explosive crackle burst out, a wave that could be seen by the naked eye descended from the sky. It was as if the distance between the heaven and earth had shortened by a few meters.
As the sky kept on pressing down, the Crown Princess was once again pressed down crazily. In an instant, she became a thin black screen that was about the size of a palm. A slight breeze blew, and the black screen drifted toward Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian put out his hand and caught this thing that looked like a pamphlet.
This was something which was like a piece of black paper. The only amazing thing about it was that this piece of black paper seemed to be a passageway leading to another world. The Crown Princess could be seen inside, hitting wildly against this piece of paper. However, it was like she was hitting against a bulletproof glass. There was no effect at all.
“Let me out!” Amidst her enraged bellows, the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint came slapping down fiercely, smashing onto the paper. However, even an attack like this was unable to break the black paper. There was not even the slightest tremor.
Fang Xingjian took a close look. Right now, the Crown Princess had become two-dimensional with only length, width, and no height. She had taken on a strange living condition as if she were a person in a painting.
‘Dimensionality reduction?’ Fang Xingjian pursed his lips. Ulpian’s move had caused even him to be taken by surprise. This was clearly not an ordinary spatial seal. It had forcefully placed the opponent from a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional one and then sealed them up into a piece of paper in the three-dimensional world.
Ordinary spatial seals could be broken through by Divine level experts using Spatial Translocation.
After being sealed in the two-dimensional world, the other party would be trapped inside forever unless they obtained the ability for dimensional increment. .
Even Fang Xingjian had to admit that such a means was phenomenal.
Concurrently, a series of incantations was transmitted into Fang Xingjian’s mind.
“This is the incantation to release or redo the seal. As long as you activate the incantation, you’ll be able to release her or retrieve her.” Ulpian said.
Fang Xingjian looked at the Crown Princess who was sealed in the two-dimensional world and asked, “Aren’t you going to kill her?”
“There’s no need for that. Later on… we’ll need her battle prowess. And don’t you want to find out the method the Western Land has that allows for the conversion between lifespan and strength?”
Fang Xingjian’s eyes lit up, and his gaze was filled with interest as he looked at the Crown Princess in his hands.
“I still have use for the Church of Universal Truth and will bring them away with me. I’ll leave you to calm the Empire.”
At the next moment, the endless pressure disappeared completely, and the world once again returned to silence.
On the black piece of paper, the Crown Princess stared at Fang Xingjian. Her face was flushed from anger, and her chest kept on rising and falling.
“Fang Xingjian, what means did you use just now? Tell me. At least let me understand how I lost.”
