Chapter 1821: Let’s see how long they can last
“I thought you would make me wait forever,” Celis answered with a smile. He quickly changed back to his World Swallowing Cedar form.
Back on the Zasfins’ planet, Celis at the peak of the Transition Realm was enough to spread his roots over the entire planet. Now he was once more back at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. Of course, in the Realm of Gods, the restrictions brought about by Divine Energy made such a distance impossible for Celis to achieve at his level.
However, Celis only had to cover a few tens of kilometers, so it was an easy task for him at the moment. His roots quickly spread outwards, passing through the outside of the barrier. Yet, he wasn’t planning to cultivate. Instead, he just intended to use his skill on a much wider scale.
‘Divine Energy Draining Prison!’
His roots then shot out of the ground, growing around the dome. In a matter of seconds, the entire dome was covered in Celis’ roots. After that, Celis’ ability as a World Swallowing Cedar activated, draining Divine Energy from everyone inside that prison. He couldn’t use the Divine Energy of other people since it wasn’t compatible with him. However, no one said he couldn’t use it for the formations that kept the barrier and gravity formations up.
Immediately, the barrier strengthened as the gravity continued to weigh down the Jutras Region participants. All their secret skills and sacrifices to increase their power were rapidly losing their effect. “What the hell is this?!”
“Hahaha!” Olly only laughed in response while he increased the power of his attacks even more. “What else could it be? This is how you’ll fall to our Walfure Region.”
“Trash who was sent to the continent’s borders! Our Jutras Region was positioned further inside because we’re obviously stronger than you bunch!” At the same time, Pourchaq used a Divine Sense message to contact Rhathio’s group. ‘It’s obvious that you haven’t decided yet whether to ally with these guys. After all, you would have attacked us straight away after this trap was mounted. The Walfure guys are giving you time to decide. However, you better think it through. Do you think you can overthrow a power that can do such a thing? You’ll have a higher chance to do that if you surrender to us. Besides, there’s no guarantee that the Walfure Region won’t kill you after they kill us. Join us. There isn’t even a need to surrender. Just help us escape this trap. It shouldn’t be a bad choice for you either.’
Rhathio and his companions were exchanging Divine Sense messages nonstop. However, he knew that Pourchaq was right. They still had a chance to take the Walfure Region participants down if they allied right now. After that, Jutras probably wouldn’t have the strength to continue the attack and would have to retreat. Anything after that could be thought after.
But then again, the System Sect had already done so much. Was it really everything they had under their sleeve? Rhathio’s group was really running out of time as their Divine Energy was being absorbed by Celis.
Eventually, Rhathio made his decision. ‘Everything happened because of the Walfure Region! Everyone, do you really want to surrender in such a shameful manner?! I refuse!’
Without waiting for his companions to answer, Rhathio immediately shot in Olly’s direction. Olly was obviously one of the strongest disciples of the Jamai Sect, so he had to help Pourchaq take him down first.
The members of the Crimew Region were divided. Some wanted to surrender to Walfure, while others agreed with Rhathio. But ultimately, as the head disciple in charge of the Crimew Region, everyone had to follow his decision. Not that they were obligated to, but with the other half attacking, the option to surrender to Walfure was completely gone.
‘Melting Body Domain!’
‘Sun Breaking Spear!’
Olly was surprised at how Rhathio suddenly attacked him again. Weren’t they supposed to surrender to Walfure? ‘Fuck!’ He was forced to stop his battle against Pourchaq and retreat. Fortunately, the gravity formation was on his side, so he could escape without much problem.
The same thing happened all throughout, with some of the Jamai Sect disciples becoming injured due to their slower reaction. Well, the Jutras Region participants weren’t doing much better since it took time until Rhathio’s side made its decision.
Inside the barrier protecting the System Sect, Luan couldn’t help but say, “Father, it seems like they didn’t like the idea of surrendering to us.”
Roan nodded. “I have to admit they went against my predictions. Sure enough, people from near the center of the Realm of Gods are all way too proud. Well, it’s not like I didn’t expect that to happen.”
Roan then spread his Divine Sense once more before ordering the disciples and Formation Masters inside the Formation Hall. ‘Alright, just turn on the rest of the formations.’
Eight years and ten months. That was the amount of time the System Sect had after they received the Jamai Sect Master’s orders to stop fighting and unify. There was definitely no lack of time for Havek and Rean to play with formations, especially since they had another Divine level Formation Master, which was Franga.
Divine Stones were added to the Divine Energy of the sect members and Celis. Following that, three more formations were activated.
Naturally, Rean and Havek watched it happen from the outside. “Oh, there they go.”
‘Poison Mist Illusion Formation!’
‘Infinite Swords Slaughtering Formation Array!’
‘Light Scattering Body Enhancement Formation!’
The poison mist caused the meridians of those inside to become clogged. Of course, one could defend against it by creating a Divine Energy Barrier Formation. But that would mean spending a lot more Divine Energy on something else other than battling. Celis was already there taking it from them, so it wasn’t as easy.
The Infinite Swords Slaughtering Formation Array was something Havek and Rean learned from Franga. It’s just that they added their own personal touch to it.
Last but not least was the Light Scattering Body Enhancement Formation. Rean had his Light Aura Burst skill. It could enhance others’ abilities in the area. He simply turned it into a formation by using a lot of Light Gathering Metal created with his Elements Gathering method. It wasn’t as good as touching someone, but it allowed it to reach a much wider area.
“Let’s see how long they can last.” Rean and Havek sat in midair to watch it unfold.
