This move, Snake of Engulfment, seemed to hold an image of world destruction and all living things in this world being engulfed.

Although Hoult’s demonstration still seemed slightly immature and was incapable of harming the four examiners, the examiners were people with great insight and could see the charm in this move. There was a faint throbbing reflected in their gazes.

“Great lad!” Luke, the oldest amongst all the examiners, exclaimed. “This is powerful, really powerful. It has both the magnificence of the starry sky as well as the concept of chaos. It also has the image of perishing of all living things and the exchange of ether particles, as well as the incorporation of the rationale of some sorcery and divine arts. It’s amazing, really amazing.”

Governor Devitt squinted too as he stared at the Snake of Engulfment, which had been born from the stars and continued to sway non-stop. He mumbled, “Looking at this snake will allow one to see the glory which the Astral Ancestor cultivated for many years to obtain. Seems like he still can’t get over the ranking from thirty years ago.”

Armstrong looked toward the arena as well and said, “None of the Divine level experts have been wasting their time. Let’s also be on the ready to make our moves. Otherwise, if they were to carry on like this, at least half the people in the battle coliseum will die.”

Although all the spectators, who were below Knight-level, had left, most of the spectators who had remained behind were Knights. From the looks of the Snake of Engulfment, it was clear the tremors from the aftermath of the upcoming battle would not be something ordinary Knights would be able to stand up against.

In the arena, the Snake of Engulfment, which had finally fully emerged, now faced upward with its mouth open wide. It released hissing sounds which rang out across the entire Regional Academy.

With the Snake of Engulfment at the center, the temperature was decreasing ceaselessly, at a speed which could be seen by the naked eye. Frost was starting to appear on the arena.

On the other hand, although the body of the Snake of Engulfment continued to glow even brighter as it continued to absorb heat, its surface was in fact extremely cold.

This was a weird contradiction. Although it was something which appeared to be scorching hot, it was actually turning increasingly cold.

With a loud cry, the Snake of Engulfment looked to Fang Xingjian and said, “Xingjian, this technique is called the Snake of Engulfment. Although I’m only at level one because it is something that only Conferred Knights can cultivate, it’s still not something that ordinary Knights can withstand against.

“However, I can’t use this technique for very long. That move you used to wipe out Meng Hao can’t be used many times either, right?

“Since we tied in our earlier exchange, it’s clear that we’re very close in terms of techniques, battle prowess and the level of our Killing techniques. If we’re to continue on like this, there’s not much point. Why don’t we both unleash our full powers and decide the victor in a single move?”

Clearly, Hoult had used the Astral Bodies Projectile Killing technique on the Snake of Engulfment as well.

With that, his entire body was wrapped up and protected by the Astral Tempest, and his consciousness had entered into the Snake of Engulfment, ready for the battle.

Fang Xingjian agreed with what Hoult had said. If this were to carry on, even if he could keep up until the time for the Snake of Engulfment was up, his opponent would also be able to rely on the Astral Tempest to fly and defend himself. Additionally, Hoult would be able to use the Astral Bodies Projectile and other techniques to hold Fang Xingjian off.

Fang Xingjian even guessed that Hoult probably still had the means to combine the Astral Tempest and the Astral Bodies Projectile, which could disguise the fake body, the Astral Tempest had created, as his true body.

Additionally, the most important thing was that there was also a time limit to Fang Xingjian’s Boundaries Negation. On the contrary, his opponent’s Snake of Engulfment would have a greater damage on the arena and to the surroundings as more time passed.
