Chapter 1864: Variation Revolving Cores Prowess (1/2)

Davis’s eyes were wide with astonishment as he saw the ensuing destruction in the middle of the battle stage as spatial cracks appeared a bit before they disappeared, stitching themselves back almost instantaneously.

Sophie, Niera, and Hayou Azureclaw’s prowess had all definitely reached the Ninth Stage from three five-kilometer domains clashing at the same time. However, Davis noticed that Hayou Azureclaw was stronger than Niera in cleaving and lacerating prowess. It was just a bit stronger, but it made up for a ton of difference in their levels as it could cause Niera’s attacks to collapse if it struck her energy at a vital point.

However, Sophie attacked at the same time, so their attack was able to overwhelm him before an earthen wall appeared before Hayou Azureclaw, protecting him from being blasted away.

‘Well, Niera’s flames have yet to become fully golden as she hadn’t obtained the Golden Crow Flames nor its blood essence. Just having its manual isn’t enough to go against a unique physique cultivator with a deadly offensive prowess while having a five-kilometer domain, huh…’

Davis thought before he saw the two groups regaining their balance. However, Sophie and Niera were already preparing to strike again. It could be seen that they still possessed the advantage.

*Whoosh!~*

Hayou Azureclaw rushed towards the other side, launching small yet terrifying claw attacks that seared through the air and lightly tore space to harass them, disallowing from making a big move like before. He could not allow them to store energy and strike together no matter what.

*Whizz!~* *Whizz!~* *Whizz!~*

Thousands of claws like wind strikes were launched at Sophie and Niera by Hayou Azureclaw. Each claw blade possessed the power to split an average High-Level Law Sea Stage Expert.

“Leave it to me.”

Sophie smirked and conjured hundreds of shields that defended against his attacks. Some earthen spheres that were launched at them were also defended by her using hundreds of small shields, large shields, tower shields, and even giant hammers that struck the big boulders into smithereens, using offense as defense.

Some shields even had spears attached behind them as those shields were equipped with stab-through holes that allowed the spear to strike the incoming attacks and destroy them!

With a variety of armaments, Sophie single-handedly defended against the terrifying claw strikes and boulders, allowing Niera to build up enough energy.

“Ravaging Golden Tornado…!”

Niera spun in a diagonal arc using her body when it directly burst into a terrifying swirl of flames that shot towards Hayou Azureclaw, who orbited around them, harassing them. His scalp turned numb upon seeing the swirling waves of funnel-shaped flames blazing towards him.

Even though he was fast, it still curved and followed him, making him change targets.

“Sky Cleaving Claw Strike!”

Without much energy buildup, it was the most powerful instantaneous technique he could use to strike!

*Boom!~*

The emerging Sky Cleaving Claws struck the Ravaging Golden Tornado, whose flames were actually crimson instead of golden as the name implied and caused an immense explosion from the resulting clash, even leaving a spatial crack in its impact.

“Yessss!!!~~~”

The crowd was full of excitement as they stood up and cheered.

Hayou Azureclaw was sent flying from the explosion. However, he didn’t seem to have taken damage as he curled into the shape of a claw as he raised his hands, joined his palms and straightened his legs, and used the momentum to escape like he was a claw strike himself.

“He’s good…”

Davis chuckled before he thought.

‘The golden crow is said to have three legs, and when it dances or spins using its three legs on the ground or two its wings in mid-air, it is said to bring the wrathful atmospheric phenomenon of fiery tornadoes to cause destruction in its wake… But when it is truly wrathful, it creates fiery hurricanes instead of tornadoes, causing destruction on a vast scale… Truly deserves its place as one of the beings holding the throne of the pinnacle of destruction in Fire Laws…’

Niera saw that her attack was countered and bit her lips. She had the same opinion as Davis and didn’t think she would meet an opponent stronger than her. However, she didn’t let it get to her as improvements can still be made, but on the other hand, Davis didn’t think that she was weak.

To get to the level of creating a five-kilometer Perfect Domain without using blood essence spoke volumes about her comprehension ability.

Hayou Azureclaw swung in orbit around them while using his entire body like a claw. He spun in mid-air as he suddenly changed directions, charging towards Niera.

Niera narrowed her eyes before she started surging with energy for another attack. Hayou Azureclaw almost made it near to her, but she still didn’t seem to take any precautions.

*Clang!~*

Hayou Azureclaw pounced and struck against Niera when suddenly a halberd appeared and struck against his body! At the same time, numerous spears and swords attacked him from the sides, wanting to pierce him into needlework.

However, Hayou Azureclaw noticed this and parried the halberd with his claws before funneling his way out, striking the armaments that tried to pierce him to no avail. When he shot away to a certain distance, earthen energy appeared to protect him from the armaments, although it didn’t seem to do a good job as they were repeatedly destroyed under the armament’s barrage.

“Tch, useless…!”

Hayou Azureclaw cursed at his teammate. At this rate, could he even win?

Instantly, he changed his way of fighting as he adopted a defensive posture.
