Chapter 198 - Greater Transmutation Array

‘This has to go!’ Ye Wei, being closest to the lotus, could tell that it was far from over.

‘Light clone!’

‘Peerless Sword Qi’

The young Runemaster refused to be a victim and let the city‘s population of over a million perish because of a madman’s pride.

With complete focus and determination, Ye Wei ignored his body’s limits and channeled all of his remaining energy. With the Qi sword as a drill and his clone as protection, he recklessly penetrated through wave after wave of radiating energy, towards the lotus.

‘Kid, just give up! All is already lost! The explosion will wipe everything out, and a radius wider than five hundred miles will be flat ground in moments!’ The progenitor laughed, seemingly looking forward to the disaster.

Ye Wei ignore every word he heard and kept his eyes focused on the blooming lotus.

‘Are you stupid? You might even be able to survive if you used your speed to run in the opposite direction.’ The progenitor genuinely could not understand the young Runemaster’s actions.

“Shut up!” Ye Wei squeezed the words out of his bleeding lips. Even with his Qi sword and his clone negating the impact, his skin was cracking and tearing.

Just seconds of trying to push himself though the energy waves covered him in blood.

“Not here. Not here. Not her...” Ye Wei’s mumbles became more and more inaudible. All he could feel was pain. His will was what kept him going, although his body was telling him to it couldn’t continue.

“Chook!”

The fierce energy waves were denser close to lotus, and this caused his Qi sword to break apart, melted and turned into a paste texture.

Ye Wei was now only ten feet away, but every inch forward was the greatest struggle he had ever faced.

‘Maybe, just maybe I will be able to suppress the lotus with the Mystic Mount’s power in my Sentient…’ Ye Wei thought to himself, as he watched his clone crumble.

‘Three feet!’

Ye Wei’s body was now under more than twice the pressure without the clone relieving the energy waves. Ye Wei’s skin was burning and his muscles were tearing, even strengthened by the Supernova runes his bones were beginning to crack.

While his body was becoming weaker and falling apart, his gaze became sharper. His Supreme blood was activated by the pressure and heat. The lotus’ energy was destroying his body while his blood repaired it at a rapid rate.

The repeated destruction and rebuilding was the most pain Ye Wei had ever felt. The slicing and destruction had numbed his senses, and he could not feel his body at points, however, his body was becoming stronger from the process.

“Argh!” With his inherited power, Ye Wei screamed and slowly overcame the distance between himself and the lotus.

At the Drakehead, Helian Jieyuan opened his eyes, disturbed. He stood up and lifted his hand, pointing his palm at Green Moon City.

“This reading is off the charts! How could a god’s prime level demon even get into the city without anyone noticing!?” Helian Jieyuan’s twisted facial expression showed his panic. “How dare they ignore the holy treaty!’

The royal’s figure turned into a blur, disappearing swiftly and quietly.

Like all powerful cultivators, the royal family’s Grand Elder was extremely prideful. He very seldom got himself involved in disputes between parties he thought was below him. Helian Jieyuan was almost insulted by the outburst that disturbed his training.

Ye Wei’s shaky right hand was no longer covered by skin, but that did not stop him from reaching and attempting to grab the lotus.
