Chapter 321: Divination Attack And Forcefield (2/2)
Flames flashed across Embermane’s eyes before he opened his mouth to release a strand of fire that tore through the void as it shot straight at Zi Jun.
From afar, Liu Xiaoyun’s heart skipped a beat. This was the firestorm attack that had melted her sword, burned her battle technique away, and nearly burned her to ashes as well.
In another area of the crowd, Jared’s breath was also snatched away. How is this possible? This inferno could not be any more familiar to him, as this was the conflagration that was unleashed from the inherited battle technique, the Karmic Flame Sword. Why did this fire sable have this flame?
Zi Jun’s face changed slightly when she saw these extreme flames that could burn everything heading towards her, and seemed to be a bit surprised. Her right foot took a step forward as the dark green radiance extended from her entire body and dispersed the heat. The next moment, everyone felt a groundbreaking change as the entire battlefield was transformed into dark-green jade.
Starsibyl, Lu Yin, Tian Hou, and the others were all stunned, as well as many of the spectating powerhouses like Liu Xiaoyun and Kuang Wang, whose faces all quickly drained of color. This was a forcefield, and it was something that could only be displayed after one’s comprehension into their domain reached such a high degree that they could change the natural environment to better suit themselves at will. The fact that Zi Jun had a forcefield was proof that this woman was currently the most outstanding domain user in this competition.
Many powers similarly stared at the screen in shock. It was terrifying that a Limiteer had unleashed their own forcefield.
From the movements of a single hand, Embermane’s flames were solidified and then transformed into jade. They fell to the ground, appearing quite lifelike, almost as if they were a sealed sourcebox.
All of the onlookers were stunned and speechless as they stared at the battlefield.
Embermane’s pupils shrank as he could only look on in horror. His flames had been solidified into jade, and even though he could not exhibit the true power of his flames with the strength of a Limiteer, his flames still should not have been able to affected that easily. While still frozen with shock, he was enveloped by a jade finger. Embermane could no longer think of anything else, as he had also been turned into jade.
This was an innate gift that could turn everything into jade, and it showed off Zi Jun’s strength; she was able to release her own forcefield to change the environment around her. She was also the only one to date who had achieved such a thing at the Limiteer realm. She had greatly surpassed the domains of all the other competitors that had been displayed during the Astral Combat Tournament.
“Sixth match. Victor: Zi Jun.”
Zi Jun calmly stood within the battlefield and raised her head to scan across everyone present. “I’m Zi Jun of the Longevity Brigade of the Cosmic Sea.”
Countless people were astonished once again, as “great regiment” referred to one of the Four Pirate Crews of the Cosmic Sea. The unparalleled Four Pirate Crews were the four strongest regiments, and the great Longevity Brigade was one of them.
Lu Yin was astonished to hear that she truly was from the Cosmic Sea. The Longevity Brigade? Her power was far beyond Silus, and more importantly, she was about the same age as the other competing students. Lu Yin had exchanged blows with Silus before, but that person was significantly older, and strictly speaking, was not of the same generation as him. However, this woman was an expert from the same generation as the Astral Combat Academy students. This showcased the true top-notch power of the Cosmic Sea’s younger generation.
Lu Yin suddenly recalled Ye Xingchen, who must be even stronger than this woman. He was the publicly recognized Ten Arbiters’ candidate from the Cosmic Sea.
There was one battle left for this first round of the drawn lots. The last competitors were Tian Hou from the Astral Beast Domain and Ben from the Technocracy.
Both of these two had eye-catching appearances. Tian Hou was clad entirely in black and not much of him could be seen. Ben’s appearance was even stranger, as it was just a book that floated around. Many were interested in this battle, and people’s attention quickly shifted from the previous battles of Starsibyl’s and Zi Jun’s to this next match.
Few knew that this black-garbed Tian Hou was the strongest competitor from the Astral Beast Domain, but Ben was one of the few who were privy to this information. This wasn’t because the book had insider information, but rather because it had been informed as such by Yun right before the match. “You’re not his match.” These words caused Ben to firmly believe that it was no match for Tian Hou.
Outside the battlefield, Starsibyl, Yun, and Lu Yin all watched Tian Hou with serious expressions. This was a strong person, and even the arrogant Yun viewed Tian Hou in a different light, similar to how she viewed Starsibyl.
Amongst the observing students, one’s face turned particularly pale the moment they saw Tian Hou. He was from Astral-7, and was coincidentally the student who had initially ridiculed Tian Hou before being paralyzed by just one look. This had left a traumatic psychological shadow that lasted to this day and the student didn’t dare to even look towards the battlefield.
Tian Hou did not act first, and only faced Ben quietly.
Ben wobbled in mid-air and watched with vigilant eyes while a strange fluctuation flashed around the book.
From where he was watching in the east, Lu Yin quietly asked. “What’s this Tian Hou’s power?”
“I’ve already said that I don’t know. I know the strengths and weaknesses of all the other students from the Spiritual Academy, but I couldn’t find out anything about this Tian Hou. He’s Skymender’s disciple, which means that he can rival Starsibyl with just his status alone. I couldn’t find out anything else about him,” the Ghost Monkey replied.
Lu Yin looked at the battlefield and watched Ben attack first. Since it was just a book with neither hands nor legs, it was not so much attacking as releasing a undulation that enveloped the entire battlefield without the onlookers’ notice.
One student curiously touched the mentors’ barrier that isolated the battlefield to feel the undulations. The next moment, he started to bleed dreadfully from his seven orifices before quickly disappearing from the Lifeseek Realm.
“It’s a fantasy realm; don’t touch the barrier,” someone loudly called out to remind everyone.
Everyone felt slightly numb; this fantasy realm was a terrifying attack that was both invisible and formless. No matter how strong someone may be, they could end up helpless against this fantasy realm. The majority of people would be frightened by the mere prospect of facing this sort of fantasy realm.
