249 Chapter 242: Deadlock! (1/2)

A.N: Support me at Patre0n by searching my name there! Thank you ;)

”Hold up! Hold up! Don't go all crazy you two!” Dugu Liubai that was watching this scene through his projection stone shrieked in horror as he quickly stood up.

Right now, since both Duan Li and his clone was at Super Mode 2, their combined aura was far too intense for the Crafted Space to withstand!

This was evidenced by the numerous cracks and distortions in space that were already forming around them!

After all, the Crafted Space was made with Foundation Establishment realm cultivators in mind, and it could not possibly withstand the barrage of intense pressure from auras on the immortal realm level!

At least, that was their current battle prowess right now.

”If they clash right now, the whole Crafted Space will break apart and rupture!”

I must do something!

A ruptured Crafted Space was something that could not be survived by those below the Omnipresence realm state. Their bodies would quickly experience the process of accelerated aging and de-aging spontaneously, creating a 'tearing' phenomena that would eventually disintegrate them to dust!

He was especially worried for Duan Li and not so much for the clone. After all, the essence of the Clone was nothing but a paper talisman!

However by now, after all the things that he saw was happening around Duan Li, he knew better that the young man's identity and fate was not that simple at all!

If he were to allow harm to befall on Duan Li under his watch right now, who knew what kind of repercussions it would create?

Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist and a jade token appeared on his palm. This was a special jade token that could be used by the Guardians of a region within the Eternal Maze to enter the mazes under their jurisdiction!

”If I use this token, I will get a severe backlash in my cultivation which will not recover for several decades..” he thought to himself.

For cultivators, the most important thing to them was their cultivation. If they could not improve their cultivation for decades, it would be a life worse than death!

Just as he was about to utilized the function of that jade token, a voice suddenly spoke out that immediately halted his action!

”Stop.”

This voice sounded ethereal and otherworldly, such that when it reverberated across the sky, the entire environment turned silent and all the animals and monsters on the island prostrated themselves to the ground as if it was the most natural thing to do!

”T-This..!!” Dugu Liubai's face paled and he quickly single-kneeled to the ground.

There was only one entity in the entire world which could induce a phenomena as such!

”Dugu Liubai greets the Lord, Grand Immortal of the Eternal Maze!” he quickly said with fervent and excitement in his voice.

”Un.” the voice replied casually.

Then, an ethereal figure formed beside him, sending all his body hair to stand on end as he shivered.

It was the Will of the Grand Immortal!

”Your willingness to sacrifice yourself in order to help the boy is commendable. But I shall take over from now on.” the Will said as its figure radiated out an air of inviolable dominance!

This was the kind of aura that one would never dare to second-guess and had no choice but to submit to, thus Dugu Liubai swiftly replied, ”Yes, Grand Immortal!”

Then, the Will of the Grand Immortal made a move. With a flick of its finger, the unstable space of the Crafted Space where Duan Li and the clone were right now began to stabilized itself.

Seeing this, Dugu Liubai's eyes widened in astonishment.

”To think that the Grand Immortal had not only fixed the Crafted Space but also upgraded it at the same time in a matter of instant with just a casual flick of a finger.. just how powerful are those on the realm of Celestials?!” he thought to himself as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This is true power!

At this moment, his respect for the Grand Immortal grew to the point of worshipping the latter.

...

Within the Crafted Space of the final trial..

”Hmm? The Crafted Space has mended itself together?” the Clone said as it analyzed its surroundings with wary in his eyes.

Duan Li also noticed this and couldn't help but to nod.

The reason why they were hesitant to start their brawl was because of the condition of the space before. However now, that was no longer a concern.

He deduced that the only person who could mend the space back together and even strengthened it at the same time like that was either Dugu Liubai, the Guadian of the Second region, or the Will of the Grand Immortal, with the latter being more probable.
