Chapter 615 - Out-of-control Dark Space
Chapter 615: Out-of-control Dark Space
After many twists and turns, the appearance of the golden skeletons had completely reversed the tides of battle on Snake Isle. Within a minute, the three Law Emperor subordinates Yu Hua had brought with him had been torn to shreds! The balance of power tilted to the side of Xia Fei and Yu Jiang!
With Peacock Blue in his right hand and Blood Crystal in his left, Xia Fei went for a mad charge toward Yu Hua!
Xia Fei hated being deceived, but this time, he had fallen into Yu Hua’s trap and had almost lost his life for it.
What incensed Xia Fei greatly was that he had even regarded Yu Hua as his teacher and as his friend.
Yu Hua had helped Xia Fei many times, like breaking through a threshold, and when Yu Qiqi had unreasonably challenged him, Yu Hua had firmly stood on his side. This had caused him to fall under the misperception that Yu Hua was his teacher, ally, and friend.
Alas, Xia Fei’s understanding of the Law Realm was far too shallow. In the circle, there would never be such a thing as friends!
When Yu Hua discovered that Xia Fei had barged his way into his plans, Yu Hua did not hesitate to try and kill him! He completely tore away his dignified veneer!
Xia Fei still felt an ache in his chest. Though the wound on the surface had been healed, Yu Hua’s deception and trickery had penetrated deep into his heart, never to be forgotten.
The one who deceived him was his enemy, and enemies had to die!
“Awoooo!”
The listless Furball also became energized, forcing himself to spit out a heavenly net, which charged at Yu Hua like a knife!
“Night Crevice!” Yu Hua waved his hand, his fingers slicing through the fabric of space like a knife and revealing the darkness within.
This was not the ordinary Space law but rather a dark space opened with law force!
The pitch-black fissure was pushed straight forward, punching a hole through the middle of Furball’s net! Air rapidly disappeared, sucked into dark space!
Xia Fei did not dare to be careless; his feet moved quickly as he made a graceful arc and barely managed to avoid the attack!
At this crucial moment, Yu Hua had tossed aside all apprehensions! He even used the dangerous Law of Void!
It must be understood that the node connecting space to dark space was unstable, and the slightest lack of control would result in the dark space expanding without limit. It was even possible for Snake Isle and all of the Yu family to be pulled into it. As a result, when using the Law of Void, one must be extremely careful.
However, in his frantic state, Yu Hua had no time to think about such things, releasing the law energy sans thinking about the consequences!
“Die!”
After dodging the fissure, Xia Fei did not stop. Peacock Blue had already penetrated into the ground!
*Rumble!*
Peacock Blue bolstered itself to the strongest level!
The two blue blades of grass grew to a length of five hundred meters, and at a distance of two meters from Yu Hua, they suddenly burst out of the ground! Stones went flying everywhere! Like claws of a giant beast, the blades of grass sought to wrap around Yu Hua!
This was an Immemorial Mystical Armament! The world’s most tenacious weed! Once Yu Hua was captured by Peacock Blue, he would find it hard to escape. If he was then stabbed by the Blood Crystal, it would not matter that he was a Great Law Emperor! Xia Fei’s weapons were all unreasonable and absurd existences! Even a god would be sucked dry!
*Whoosh~*
The blades of grass moved nimbly, one of them tightly wrapping around Yu Hua’s left leg!
“Not good!” Yu Hua was well aware of the power of an Immemorial Mystical Armament. He had seen Cruel Eagle being held fast by Peacock Blue, caught in its clutches until his death. From this, he had been made well aware of the tenacity and absurdity of this weed!
“Seven Dragons! Split the Heavens!”
Yu Hua did not dare to think that his opponent was just a blue weed and used his strongest technique!
*Rumble!*
White light engulfed the area!
Heaven’s Sundering was the Yu Clan’s supreme martial technique, and though it was not as abnormal as Yu Jiang’s Dragon Unshackling and Dragon Sealing Marks, it was still shocking enough!
The earth was cleaved by the Heaven’s Sundering, splitting open like a canyon!
Peacock Blue was unable to endure this powerful attack. After all, the Heaven’s Sundering used spatial force to tear apart the fabric of space!
*Ssst!*
Blue grass flew into the air!
Peacock Blue was being torn to shreds, but new blades of grass quickly grew back!
If there was time, Xia Fei would have thoroughly taught Yu Hua what the saying ‘No prairie fire can destroy the grass, for it shoots up again with the spring breeze’ meant. Peacock Blue was rooted in Xia Fei’s right arm, and as long as he lived, Peacock Blue would be reborn again and again! Trying to escape from the attack of Peacock Blue? Easier said than done!
Yu Hua used Law force to shoot into the heavens, and Xia Fei pursued!
“Falling Leaves of Autumn’s Demise!”
The gust of wind created by his palm was gentle, but he held Blood Crystal in that palm. This was an attack meant to take Yu Hua’s head!
The two of them drew closer and closer. Still, Yu Hua was a Great Law Emperor, and he did not panic. He brought his fists together, seemingly about to use some strange law force attack on Xia Fei!
Suddenly!
A new development!
The seven golden skeletons down below had lost two of their number while killing Yu Hua’s subordinates, and the remaining five began to attack Xia Fei and Yu Hua without distinction, not caring that both were so close. If they randomly attacked like this, Xia Fei would have no hope of escaping! He would be joining Yu Hua to the grave!
“D*mn! These golden skeletons aren’t actually on my side!” Xia Fei cursed.
“You should’ve already guessed that they’re not on your side. After all, they’re skeletons.” Phantom suddenly snarked after having said nothing for a while, leaving Xia Fei disconcerted.
This was a very simple math problem. Originally, Xia Fei had been fighting against the Shatter Wu warriors and Yu Hua’s subordinates—nine Law Emperors in total. Now, though the golden skeletons had killed Yu Hua’s three subordinates, they had also made Xia Fei one of their attack targets.
In other words, rather than decreasing, the number of enemies had increased!
Even worse was that this was no longer a two-sided melee but rather a three-party brawl!
In a flash, the attacks of the golden skeletons arrived!
As if they had discussed everything beforehand, all of these Yu Clan ancestors used the Heaven’s Sundering!
Three Dragons Split the Heavens! Four Dragons Split the Heavens! Even Five Dragons Split the Heavens!
The Heaven’s Sundering referred to the number of spatial fissures created. Over ten of these frightening spatial tears could sweep over everything, the scene more impressive than what any movie could fabricate!
Not just Xia Fei, even Yu Hua was dumbfounded, a helpless look on his face as his complexion turned white!
*Rumble!*
The earth shuddered and groaned!
Xia Fei managed to clamber up from the ground before vomiting blood. The attack just then had injured him even more severely than Yu Hua’s attack!
His ears were still buzzing. The powerful Heaven’s Sundering, as well as the excess burden on his body, caused Xia Fei to start seeing things.
This was a sign that he was at his limit. Hallucination was bad news for any warrior, for it was a sign that their body’s condition was declining, their fighting power plummeting, until they died at the hands of their foe!
“Xia Fei, look!”
Phantom looked in terror behind Xia Fei. As their minds were linked, Xia Fei could easily hear what Phantom had said.
He turned his head, and his eyes immediately flew open!
‘Is this really the end? I, Xia Fei, might lose my life here!’
What Xia Fei was worried about happening had transpired. The dark space Yu Hua tore had not disappeared. Instead, it was now several dozen kilometers in diameter and was still expanding!
“Out of control! The dark space has gone completely out of control!” Oro said. In the chaos, Oro’s voice could only be heard by Xia Fei.
Xia Fei did not answer, for he had no idea how to answer!
The dark space going out of control did not just mean that Snake Isle would be lost; it meant that the entire Yu family and the region of space it resided in would, too!
The powerful gravitational pull dragged in soil; the vacuum of dark space was so powerful that if it was not stopped soon, a calamity would ensue!
Xia Fei gritted his teeth! Since he was a goner, anyway, he might as well charge into dark space for a chance at survival!
The last time he did this, he had followed the Demon Chrysalis into a dark space and had almost been imprisoned for a lifetime. Xia Fei still remembered it as if it were just yesterday. It was not that the dark space had been full of monsters; rather, the infinite darkness within was truly too despairing! Death was truly preferable to living for the rest of one’s life in that darkness!
Yu Hua’s face darkened. He had never imagined that the dark space he had opened would go out of control! Yu Jiang had also used this technique before, and Yu Hua had not seen it become a problem. It seemed that his cultivation was still very inferior to the patriarch’s, and just because he had seen it did not mean that he could replicate it.
Yu Hua glared at Xia Fei. All of this had been because of the latter.
If Xia Fei had not managed to get through the Sky Curtain, if Xia Fei had not attacked him like a madman, willing to sacrifice his own life to take Yu Hua’s, he would have never needed to use the Law of Void.
Now, there had been an unexpected development.
The golden skeletons had no intention of letting Xia Fei and Yu Hua go. They only recognized the patriarch of the Yu Clan and Green Dawn. Everyone else was to be obliterated!
With strange shouts and cries, five golden skeletons with Law Emperor cultivation charged up!
A three-sided fight!
Yu Hua would not let Xia Fei go, nor would the golden skeletons let him go! Xia Fei was truly in a miserable situation!
However, there was no time to explain. Once the golden skeletons unleashed another round of Law of Space attacks, Xia Fei would be on his way to the underworld!
His body was at its limits and on the verge of collapse. How could Xia Fei last out against these Law Emperor experts? He had been able to rely on the Law of Primal Chaos, Holy Beast Shatterstar, an Immemorial Mystical Armament, and the Blood Crystal to last until now.
But there was a limit to how far treasures could get him in this apex battle. While Xia Fei could hold on for a moment, he couldn’t hold out forever!
“All or nothing!”
Xia Fei roared and charged into the dark space!
“I might die in that dark space , but I mustn’t let Yu Hua get his wish!”
With his mind set, Xia Fei heedlessly charged into the infinite darkness!
Yu Hua was startled. He was not as insane as Xia Fei. The position of patriarch was right before him, the dream of many years about to be fulfilled. Yu Hua was reluctant to leave all this and was unwilling to enter the dark space. Even if he had the ability to open the dark space, he had no idea where he would end up if he went in.
If this massive scheme came to nothing and the Yu Family disappeared, what meaning would there be in this struggle for the position of patriarch?
Yu Hua’s face darkened as he hesitated on what to do.
Xia Fei continued to charge heedlessly into the dark dimension. In just two seconds, he would be in that dark world, but at this moment, there was another development!
The unfathomably powerful masked man appeared again!
It was that same terrifying fanged mask and the same withered old hands.
As if a god had descended, this masked man descended from the sky gripped the sides of the tear. The slowly expanding dark space froze in place and then began to close slowly!
Such power! He was single-handedly closing the dark fissure!
However, Xia Fei understood that this masked man was an enemy as well as in the same group with Yu Hua and the Shatter Wu Clan!
Although Xia Fei had a chance of surviving when fighting Law Emperors despite his heavy injuries, he had no chance against this masked man!
“Run! This man is a Law Overlord! Once he closes the tear, he’ll turn around and deal with you!”
Strangely, though Xia Fei was already hearing things, he could still clearly hear Lionheart King Oro’s voice.
His face paled!
This masked man was really a Law Overlord?!
