Chapter 1878: Chapter 1870: Unpredictable Variables (1)

Violent waves of torrential spiritual qi surged, crashing across the Dark Void with destructive force; the two Supreme Sages' voices were imbued with spiritual qi, each syllable spoken with the intent to kill heaven, earth, and soul!

The hearts, souls, and minds of the Supreme Sages observing underwent drastic shifts, morphing into looks of shock at the situation, fear of the murderous clash affecting them, concern over the general populace of cultivators seeking to fight for opportunities, and anger. Unbridled, unadulterated, and unfettered anger!

"STOP!!"

A slender figure jetted out from Wei Wuyin's protection with startling force.

BOOSH!

Wei Wuyin breathed in a long, steady inhale. The surging spatial winds generated by the figure's rampant acceleration were sucked into his mouth through pursed lips, his eyes briefly lost their seven-colored radiance as a pair of vertical pupils manifested with irises of silvery-grey before it reverted to the Alchemic Stars of Unparalleled Creation.

A handsomely feminine young man of tall stature, garbed in aquamarine robes that were quite exposed, having no sleeves, and showing his lightly hairy chest with a deep V-line. With cyan-colored hair that glistened brightly against the starry sky, a pair of curved eyebrows, accentuating his gentle jawline, and eyes of sky-blue, he stood out with an utterly unforgettable set of features.

At the moment, those attractive features were distorted by an extraordinary anger.

"NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO VIOLATE THE RULES WE SET!"

Wei Wuyin observed silently as this man, the Heavenly Saint Alchemist known by the galaxy as Sovereign Littlefather, renowned for his expansive familial lineage that was rumored to be able to fill an entire planet, blazed a path towards the ongoing conflict with reckless wrath.

Sovereign Primal Star's dwarf-sized Solar Star form crashed against a stormy world of white mist and snow, poisonous enough to induce degradation in the ambient chaos mana, light energies, and immediate vicinity of affected spatial dimensions.

From afar, it seemed as if a divinely catastrophic blizzard capable of engulfing planets was clashing head-on with a radiant and healthy star. An utterly incredible sight as space and time became increasingly chaotic, either ceasing their flow altogether as if the presence of observable reality had been erased or swirled into an unpredictable shift of abnormal and indecipherable images. The two Supreme Sages navigated these changes expertly, resonating with the heavens to anchor them to this point of spatial and temporal reality.

Their Microheavens served as a nexus, enabling them to remain a constant of space, time, void, reality, and existence as a whole!

Wei Wuyin was taken aback; this display of resonant qi and control of Microheavens allowed him to catch a glimpse of how beings of this level could clash or resist entities such as the River of Time, perhaps even fight against the Calamities of Hell's existential erasure.

This was the first time he'd personally witnessed two Supreme Sages clash with the intent to eradicate the other. To truly kill. No wonder he failed to take down Long Shiya, the methods executed here sought complete existential erasure. They were fighting with their very existence on the line!

"BOTH OF YOU! STOP NOW!!" Sovereign Littlefather's shout thundered outwards with the force of a million supernovas, shaking heaven, earth, void, and soul! It was excessively terrifying!

Despite being a Heavenly Saint Alchemist, and given his profession's focus on the Alchemic Dao, it was unlikely he had the strength to compare to those who fought tooth and nail for hundreds of thousands of years to reach their level, spending time refining their killing arts and cultivated foundation for the purest, sturdiest, and densest qi they could develop.

However, he was still a Supreme Sage!

When he spoke, the heavens were his speakerphone!

The sound blasted across the galaxy with penetrative force that got through the chaos, reaching them with certainty.

Yet…

As he got a few tens of thousands of miles closer, he was immediately forced to pull out a thick sheet of rectangular paper etched with a golden ink that glistened with heavenly radiance, and in his panic, he poured resonant qi into it. A spherical barrier of tiny jade pearls formed around him entirely.

A cascading wave of torrential white mist and yellowish solar light smashed into the barrier. The barrier was invincibly sturdy, yet it was instantly swallowed after causing the two forms of resonant qi to halt for a mere femtosecond, and was sent shuttling into the Void to escape.

The Supreme Sages watched in disbelief as Sovereign Littlefather vanished in the chaos, unable to know whether he was alive or dead.

"The Void Impact Talisman of the Seventh Age of Superior Excellence Inksieve is quite incredible indeed; Heaven-Saint Littlefather survived." Wei Wuyin informed as he tapped into Enlightened Sage Springfield's knowledge of the Prosperous Ruin Galaxy's Sovereign Inksieve, the Supreme Talismanic Inscriptionist under the Wingless Heavens Sect.

Sighs of relief resounded amongst the Supreme Sages. They were all familiar with that talisman, especially since it was a peak low-tier Mystic-Heaven grade talisman that was famed amongst the Holy Void of Fortune. The only issue was that, while it was an extraordinary protective talisman, the cost listed was twelve Mystic-Heaven Essence Stones, and it was a one-time usage.

"They're using their Resonant Qi without restraint!" Sovereign Skyfather remarked as his expression was slightly pale. They held nothing back, and Sovereign Littlefather got caught within the chaos. Unlike the Zeniths, the Heavenly Sages were far more united.

Wei Wuyin, however, used his True Void Dragon's Void Perception to observe the trajectory of Sovereign Littlefather. A glint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

The others were tense.

"We should act to save the juniors," Sovereign Rainmother said, her genuine gentle demeanor bled through as she gazed at the conflict. However, her concern was apparently not enough for her to risk her life. She stayed close to her Dao Companion and Wei Wuyin. The latter had an incredible reaction time and a display of versatile power. Moreover, he was keeping his strength limited to Mystic Force, a far weaker power than Mystic Power, let alone Resonant Qi of the Heavens.

Unbeknownst to her, his reaction was timely due to orchestrating this exact scenario.

"..." The others looked at the raging conflict unfolding within the vicinity of the Incinerated Dominion's remnant fiery field filled with wealth and resources as a race for the abundant treasure unexpectedly evolved into a race to escape with their life on the line. Countless cultivators no longer tried to seize. The greed in their eyes collapsed into a sea of indescribable terror.

They ran.

They fled.

THEY SCREAMED IN PANIC!

A few unlucky fellows got swept up in the qi shockwaves, their existences gone.

Just like that.

Guo Heng's level of death was replicated on many poor souls. The two Supreme Sages cared not. Sovereign Primal Star refused to allow Sovereign Vilesnow into the core of the territory, constantly launching vicious attacks to send him away. At times, they left the three-million-mile region entirely, and then in the blink of a True Sage's eye, Sovereign Vilesnow was a million miles deep.

The tug of war of entry and forceful extraction was devastatingly chaotic.

It was hard to prevent someone from entering such a wide region. A full moment of neglect or distraction was all Sovereign Vilesnow needed to penetrate the spatial region where the heart of the Incinerated Dominion was. Fortunately, Sovereign Primal Star never allowed more than a third or half of a moment delay, constantly staying on mission.

At one point, she barreled into him entirely using her gargantuan form, shoving him out of the fiery region and bringing him tens of millions of miles away, risking injury as her aura fluctuated chaotically, almost experiencing a sharp decline. This afforded her enough time to keep him at bay with various treasures!

Wei Wuyin noticed all the young galactic talent and ambitious treasure hunters risking their lives here. He didn't act to assist them in the slightest. That wasn't his responsibility.

Instead, he kept puppeteering the situation to engineer a favorable set of circumstances for Su Mei and the others to fight for the greatest treasure present. He sent a spiritual transmission via the Void to Arcanids, bypassing the chaotic spatial fluctuations and spirit-eradicating waves of qi, reaching that person once again.

This time, the Sovereign Knight of the Arachnids used an extraordinary transmission spell to send an announcing message out! Sovereign Goliath Bird's voice echoed out in the minds of those top subscribers of its information business: "Sovereign Littlefinger and several Sages of both True and Enlightened stages of cultivation are working in tandem to dismantle an extraordinary defensive array at the Incinerated Dominion's core region! They seemed to have been brought in by Sovereign Littlefinger!"

"..."

The six Heavenly Sages of the Seven Towers turned their gazes over simultaneously, and notably, Sovereign Darkmother's expression was distorted with disbelief as if she were caught in an act, finding it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, Sovereign Primal Star's aura fluctuated wildly as her attacks became so incredibly violent and rampantly reckless that Sovereign Vilesnow was forced into defense. However, this was perfect; Sovereign Vilesnow acted as the annoying hindrance now, switching roles as he held her back from rushing into the core region.

Wei Wuyin laughed in his heart.

"Haa…" A sigh echoed out into the Dark Void, reaching the spirits of all within this quadrant of the galaxy, containing an aura of the profoundly ancient, causing the expressions of everyone to drastically change, even Wei Wuyin!

An unimaginably pure resonant qi began to manifest at the edge of the Incinerated Dominion! It was the result of a spatial art strong enough to bypass the vicious and unpredictable chaos of an exploding Heavenly World and the clash of two Supreme Sages!

Wei Wuyin thought for a moment, and then he was about to take action. Whoever this person was, it was best to delay their entry for a little. However, just as he was about to exert his Major Authority of Spatial Law to distort their landing point, a cold sneer laced with mockery echoed out.

It was enough to cause spines to shiver and souls to shrivel.

The origin point of pure resonant qi collapsed inward. A black hole only ten thousand miles in size instantly formed. From within, a muffled howling roar of the profoundly ancient tried to escape, only for the sound and all forms of light to be devoured within. Only those with Soul Perception heard the enraged roar.

Superior Sages were acting!

Su Yi…what in the world was his history?!

But this was fine!

While the Superior Sage had acted to hinder another, they had not intervened. It seemed something was preventing them from acting. Or perhaps they were entangled in their clash of strength like the Sovereign Primal Star and Sovereign Vilesnow.

Wei Wuyin had given Su Mei and Shui Fengbao good circumstances, but he wouldn't do all the legwork for them.

-----

And at this very moment, Shui Fengbao dived into the Heart of Qi that was the true core of the Heavenly World.

And standing before it, protecting against any greedy hands was a blindfolded middle-aged man with a bow in hand and two empty quivers, one on his back and one on his left hip, alongside a black-haired, clear-eyed, peerlessly valiant young woman with her hand clasped calmly around the hilt of her sheathed saber.

Su Mei and Yao Houyi.

Yao Houyi's 'gaze' was looking upwards at the fiery haze of the sky. There, a battlefield was unfolding of epic levels of destructive fluctuations; Pakhet fought against two entities simultaneously, each fighting against the other with the intent to kill. The first was the exposed Shard of Heaven, Afrit-tuza, and the other was a strange green-skinned starfish with a single eye with black sclera, white pupils, and golden irises.

It was a Star-Devourer!

It was attempting to absorb the true core! Why? Because the basis of its heavenly power was none other than a Solar Star's fiery energy, imbued with the Law of Fire! It was the Star Soul or Star Core of a Solar Star at the Mystic-Heaven grade!!

Su Mei ignored the violent battle above. Instead, she looked ahead with a serene gaze. The world they resided in was akin to a subspace, existing solely to house the true core of the Heavenly World. While the corpse detonated, its heart was intact, and its instinctive defenses were still present, so no Supreme Sage would dare try to intrude for fear of a true detonation as self-defense.

The subspace was filled with Mystic-Heaven grade fiery energies and solar essences. The Shard of Heaven, Afrit-tuza, was capable of naturally gathering that ambient strength to a degree, granting an extraordinary boost in power, while the Star-Devourer starfish used its large limbs to absorb that ambient power, replenishing its spent strength and growing stronger by the second. Injuries inflicted would heal nigh-instantaneously.

The First Valkryie didn't find any of that too important. Yao Houyi's focus was enough. The figure before her, however, garnered her complete focus.

A woman.

"Hehehe! How fun!"
