Chapter 1793 Chapter 1786: One of Ten; A Game of Mystics (17)
Throughout the Spiritual Network, one by one, silence descended into each spectator's heart; whether it was due to the depletion of heavenly aura from the legendary and deeply revered Zenith Refinement Tower, the shock at the quieted vortexes of azure-esque mist signifying the end of allies, or the ruthless and unexpected death by the skinny Supreme Sage's hands, an utterly brutal occurrence that took countless by surprise. The last event was genuinely soul-shaking. Not a single person expected Guo Heng, a prestigious and elite Worldly Saint Alchemist to be killed. Moreover, given the circumstances, perhaps the skinny Supreme Sage hadn't expected her actions to be slowed down and witnessed by billions. That said, those with a sufficiently high level and understanding of Mythical Punishment and Ways of Mysticism, simultaneously seeing how completely a single wave had devastated Guo Heng's life and soul, knew exactly why. Mythical Punishment, despite its godly lethality and focused power, did not destroy the True Soul or Soul. Moreover, its power was exhausted and dissipated, leaving no trace of its presence after.
Unlike cultivators, its power didn't interfere with anything tangible, including the flows of time and space, enabling spatial shifting to still occur at the epicenter and surrounding region of Mythical Punishment, and therefore did not hinder Temporal Reversion!
Guo Heng might die, but despite experiencing death, at an incredible price, his death could be temporary. The once-chubby, now-skinny Supreme Sage had severed any and all chances of that happening unless someone defied the River of Time and extracted him from the fate of death. An inconceivable feat that even she wouldn't attempt. That said, executing life-saving Temporal Reversion on Ascended beings, especially Heavenly Saint Phase cultivators, costs an unimaginable price to perform. Personally, Wu Yu had exhausted hundreds of years to repair parts of his body, and his cultivation base was significantly lower at the time. However, all that brutality aside, especially since her actions felt perfectly reasonable after witnessing the strength of the Mythical Punishment. If, by an incredible turn of events, she died, there would be no saving her. She would be permanently dead. After all, her cultivation base had merged with her True Soul. If she was to be killed, her True Soul had to die. There was no other way around it. And the Mythical Punishment struck to kill! To those in the know, or who had some semblance of an idea of the Resonant Soul Realm's profound characteristics, they fully understood her actions. If she was going to die, why in the ever-living fuck would she allow Guo Heng to be revived?! She severed his chances! Why else did Guo Heng want to face the Mythical Punishment at the Zenith Refinement Tower rather than be saved after his death? Due to the constraints of the game, he would normally be unable to leave that room, and every passing microsecond would skyrocket the cost of his revival. Moreover, would Wei Wuyin allow it?! By the time the game ended, who knew if they could even do so! But here? It didn't need to be said! Unfortunately...
The skinny Supreme Sage viciously scowled as her eyes glittered with a lifetime of experiences, observing the descending prismatic light in a shroud of gold with raw rage. This was only the second Mythical Punishment! There were SEVEN more! SEVEN!!!
Despite the absurdity of her current obstacles, she had cultivated to this extent through countless tragedies and calamities, overcoming them all amidst deadly competition, relying on her willpower, intelligence, ruthlessness, and unyielding spirit, all of which formed the very foundation of her Heart of Cultivation! She refused to surrender.
Not to heaven.
Not to earth.
Not to man.
And certainly not to this ARBITER! "Come at me, you vicious BASTARD!!" She roared as she circulated her cultivation base, invigorating her mind, body, spirit, and soul to their absolute extreme limits. She held nothing back! Soul Light concentric ripples began to form, her glabella as its epicenter, like a soft and incessant tremor within a pond. An ancient key was expelled as if fished out of water! This key resembled a cruciform key. It was sky blue in color, as pure as water blessed with the brilliance of a star and the sky of a planet, and as small as a door key that could fit in one's palm.
Before it, mortals would kowtow, Ascended beings would kneel, while those who wielded the authorities of Laws would be shaken to their core!
It exuded an ancient heavenly aura, supremely boundless and unfathomably majestic. It gently pulsed with a distinct resonance to the heavens, incomparable to any artificial object within the world, and the Zenith Refinement Tower, a Mystic-Heaven grade Armament, felt as if it was a mere imitation of the key's profound existence.
"..." Dai Yangdao and Wu Yintian's hearts were pounding and their minds were shaking!
"You can end it with a thought," the female black-robed Supreme Sage said, her tone enticing. As a Supreme Sage of the Seers of the Night, those who dared to view the secrets of the heavens to gain blessed benefits from all things, she was keenly aware of how to exploit an opportunity.
"We can help you," Suo Haoran's eyes finally shifted subtly to the array that was on the verge of collapsing. He didn't try to isolate himself, adding the Supreme Sage to it. If things get hectic, he would need her strength. And the black-robed female had no issues with this, silently agreeing to his words.
"We know you're part of a force that would rather remain anonymous. You can avoid directly offending Zenith Tower with us as your proxy," Suo Haoran offered with a bewitching voice.
Dai Yangdao transmitted their conversation in real time to Su Yu.
At the jade table, just as the first Mythical Punishment had descended, Su Yi's eyes brightened considerably! They wanted to...
...BLACKMAIL THE ZENITH REFINEMENT TOWER!!!
He subtly glanced at Wei Wuyin, whose unearthly handsome visage contained an eternal smile. Then, he briefly looked his way before returning his focus to the spiritual projection as if he didn't have any idea of what was happening. When Su Yi saw how distraught the now-skinny Supreme Sage was, his eyes glittered with excitement as well as a tinge of madness and greed. In comparison to whatever they were willing to wager, what was their lives worth?! The life of the Zenith Refinement Alchemic Saint! "Agree!" Su Yi replied.
Meanwhile, Wei Wuyin felt as if everything was falling into place. And as the second Mythical Punishment was about to eradicate the Supreme Sage of the Zenith Refinement Tower and all the remaining survivors, as if it was a popped bubble of liquid soap, the prismatic light shrouded in gold radiance dissipated without warning. It was gone.
The haggard and defiant state of the skinny Supreme Sage was reflected in the spiritual projection, her face the very expression of disbelief and surprise.
She lived? Her lightspeed-like thoughts almost immediately flared with rage, her soulful gaze darted to the Armored Boon Stellar Region, staring hatefully at the Original Dawn Palace, and she grinned with a menacing, vicious, ruthless light flickering intensely within her eyes. Wei Wuyin laughed, rising from his seat.
"Come on. I'll send you off myself," Wei Wuyin's laughter resounded throughout the Spiritual Network. "..." The skinny Supreme Sage of the Zenith Refinement Tower froze. Then, she twisted her grin into a scowl as she coldly snorted with enough force to shake the entire Galactic Zone. She vanished into the tower soon after. Wei Wuyin sat back down with a soft breath, shaking his head as if it was a pity someone hadn't sought death. The galaxy now knows what's at stake.
