The million-plus Deities watching all held their breaths. The massive valley was completely silent.
“I didn’t expect, Russell, that a coward like you would dare to challenge me.” A deep, rumbling voice rang out from the mouth of the Lord of the Bluelion Domain. The Lord stared with bestial eyes towards Russell. “In the past, during the Windhunter Trials, the only thing you were able to do was hide and quiver, you coward.”
Upon hearing this, Russell’s face turned as cold as ice water. A sharp looked flashed through his eyes as he said, “Don’t be smug. After today, the position of Lord of Bluelion Domain will no longer be yours.”
“You seem quite confident.” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain snickered.
The Lord of the Bluelion Domain stretched out his divine sense. It was only natural; when battle began, relying on one’s eyes alone wasn’t enough. Using divine sense to keep track of one’s surroundings was important. It must be understand that this empty space in midair had a circumference of multiple kilometers. Upon reaching out with his divine sense, the Lord of the Bluelion Domain naturally also encompassed the surrounding spectators with it…including Linley, Bebe, and Boo!
“Bouvier [Bu’wei’er]!” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain was shocked.
As Domain Lords under the command of the Sovereign, all Domain Lords naturally would occasionally gather to pay their respects to their Sovereign. At times like that, they would see the commander of the army, Bouvier. Although Bouvier had changed his appearance, there was no way he could change his soul aura. Thus, this Obarafael, the Lord of the Bluelion Domain, naturally was able to instantly recognize who Bouvier truly was.
‘Boo’ was nothing more than a nickname the Sovereigns had given Bouvier.
The other Domain Lords all generally referred to him as Mr. Bouvier.
“Why is Bouvier here? In addition, he seems to be extremely respectful towards the two next to him. That youngster is a Highgod; I can tell. But as for that brown-haired man…hm. Also, given that Bouvier is the commander of the Qingya Army, he wouldn’t act so respectfully, even towards Paragons.”
The Lord of the Bluelion Domain came to a conclusion. “Can it be that this person is a Sovereign?”
This conclusion…badly shocked the Lord of the Bluelion Domain.
“Obarafel, fight as you normally would.” A voice rang out in the Lord of the Bluelion Domain’s voice. The speaker was Bouvier. Bouvier knew…that this old acquaintance had recognized him.
“Mr. Bouvier, the person next to you…” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain immediately sent back.
“Pretend you didn’t find out.” Bouvier sent to him.
The Lord of the Bluelion Domain was now completely convinced as to who the brown-haired man was.
“I didn’t expect that the Sovereign would actually come to my place! Right…this victory has to be a clean one.” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain, upon learning that his Sovereign was watching, felt his intent for battle surge. He gave the distant Russell a cold glance, laughing in his heart.
Suddenly…
“BANG!” It was as though the air exploded. The Lord of the Bluelion Domain seemed to instantly cross the distance of a hundred meters between them. His giant, boulder-like fist surged forth, flashing with black light as it slashed out in a strange arc. It was like a meteor flashing through the heavens, piercing through the skies and striking towards Russell.
World Meteor!
This was one of the supreme techniques available to Ombarafael, the Lord of the Bluelion Domain.
“Hmph.” Russell’s face turned cold.
“Swish!” A dazzling blade flashed, releasing a waterfall of power and tearing through the surrounding space.
The cyan saber flash clashed directly head-on against the dazzling, meteoric fist.
Russell, his cyan scimitar in hand, borrowed from the force of the collision to retreat backwards gracefully at high speed. With an cyan flash, he retreated tens of meters away into the skies, but immediately afterwards, Russell’s body actually moved away by another few dozen kilometers, moving so quickly as to astonish all the watchers.
“What astonishing speed.” Bebe sighed in amazement.
“Even faster than most commanders.” Linley’s eyes lit up as well.
The nearby ‘Boo’ sent mentally, “Sovereign, both Russell and Ombarafael are divine beasts. Russell is a ‘Nine-Tailed Windripper Fox’, and is innately gifted with great speed. Given that he also trains in the Laws of the Wind, it is only natural that he is extremely fast. In addition, as a ‘Nine-Tailed Windripper Fox’, he is born with great mesmerizing abilities, and the mesmerizing power of his soul is also quite terrifying. He is very hard to deal with.”
“Not bad. The first candidate I encounter seems to be quite excellent.” Linley had a hint of a smile on his face.
The Lord of the Bluelion Domain stood there, like an unbreakable fortress. As for Russell, he moved about at high speed, constantly changing his location, launching attacks from various angles.
“It has been so many years, but you, you coward, are still only able to run about and flee.” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain let out a snicker, then his gaze slowly turned cold. “Russell, I have no time to waste with you.”
“Bang!” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain’s body suddenly began to blaze with an earthen yellow aura.
Earth-type Sovereign’s Might!
“You have it; do you think I do not?” Russell let out a cold laugh as well, and his body also began to blaze with a faint green aura. Since he had dared to come issue this challenge, Russell naturally had also prepared in advance.
And then…
“Screeeeech!” An ear-piercing sound suddenly rang out from Russell’s throat.
An enormous, cyan-furred fox phantom, hundreds of meters in size, suddenly appeared behind Russell. This cyan-furred fox had nine furry tails, all of which were swaying gently. Anyone who stared at them would actually, unknowingly, begin to grow dizzy. Quite a few of the spectating Deities actually fell to the ground.
Innate divine ability – Mesmerizing Fantasy Domain!
A translucent sword shadow flashed out from Russell’s mouth, shooting directly towards the distant Lord of the Bluelion Domain.
The Lord of the Bluelion Domain, upon receiving this strike, swayed slightly.
“Roaaaaar!” The Lord of the Bluelion Domain suddenly let out an enraged howl.
An enormous, thousand-meter tall, snowy-furred bear suddenly appeared, its jade green eyes staring towards Russell. The bear smote itself on its chest with its two massive, clawed bear paws. “BANG!” With an enormous collision sound, an earthen yellow ripple blasted out from the bear’s chest in every direction, instantly encompassing an area of many kilometers, with Russell naturally being within this field as well.
Innate divine ability – World Collapser!
In the same instant…
That translucent sword-shape surged into the Lord of Bluelion Domain’s body, but the Lord of Bluelion Domain’s body only trembled. It didn’t seem to have much of an impact on him.
“Bastard. How could this fellow’s soul defense be so strong? How could my full-power attack have had such a limited impact on him?” Russell cursed angrily to himself.
“Haha…” The Lord of Bluelion Domain charged towards Russell.
“Not good.” Russell’s face changed dramatically. He could clearly sense that the surrounding area had changed. That constant surge of ripples seemed to have formed into layers of waves that surged around him, and even created a unique ‘Gravitational Space’ type of effect around him. This technique drastically impacted Russell’s speed.
Russell knew that the situation was bad, but…it was too late.
“Haha…” Laughing wildly, the Lord of Bluelion Domain now used his most powerful attack, in conjunction with his unleashed innate divine ability.
A pair of enormous fists pierced through the skies like a pair of horned dragons, causing spatial whirlpools to appear and space to collapse.
“Not good.” Russell retreated frantically, but within the innate divine ability field, his speed was inferior to his opponent’s. All he could do was roar in anger and furiously smash out with his blade.
“BURST!” The Lord of Bluelion Domain let out a furious roar.
The twin fists that had tore through the skies suddenly exploded with power.
“Bang!” The scimitar actually broke apart, inch by inch, and Russell’s body began to shake.
“How could this be…I’m finished.” Russell only felt a sense of powerlessness.
The Lord of Bluelion Domain, Ombarafael suddenly stared towards the front, baffled. “Where…did he go?”
Russell, who had been in a violent battle against the Lord of Bluelion Domain just moments ago, had now disappeared into thin air.
“Where did he go? How could this be?”
“Can it be that the Lord of Bluelion Domain blasted Russell into nothingness?”
The million-plus spectating Deities stared, stupefied. They had watched as Russell had actually disappeared into thin air.
