Chapter 214: The Second Plan

Nine colossal vines, as if connecting the heavens and earth, rushed toward him at an incredible speed, causing Dongbo Xueying’s expression to change drastically.

This thing was obviously immensely powerful. If entangled by it, things would become extremely troublesome.

“Mage!” Dongbo Xueying glanced toward the distant red-robed woman. A powerful Transcendent mage, equipped with formidable artifacts and formations, could pose a threat rivaling several Transcendent Knights of equal strength.

“Expel!”

Dongbo Xueying’s mind stirred.

The direction of gravity instantly reversed. Previously pulling toward Dongbo Xueying, it now pushed outward in all directions!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!” The nine massive vines, already enormous and heavy, were subjected to immense force under the same gravitational pull. Unable to advance further, their massive bodies bent backward, clearly unable to resist the power generated by the gravitational force.

“Hmph. Under my Gravitational Domain, the larger the body, the more disadvantageous it becomes.” Dongbo Xueying, without slowing his pace, rushed toward the nearest formation disk.

“Under his gravitational essence, these vines have indeed failed to trap their enemy.” Liehuo, the handsome young man, shook his head slightly. “Still, at least Dongbo Xueying is now only maintaining a repelling force.”

Although anticipating the limited effectiveness of this formation, it had already been set up. Not using it would be a waste.

“Buzz~~~”

Another, even more crucial formation was simultaneously activated.

For a powerful Transcendent mage, activating two formations at once was effortless. Originally, the vine formation was important, but under the gravitational influence, it had become less significant. The second formation was far more valued by the Time-Space Temple Reincarnators.

Suddenly, countless beams of colorful light appeared from nowhere, like fish swimming through water, gliding across the dozens of miles, transforming the surroundings into a breathtaking spectacle.

“Wave Space! Seal!”

From afar, the handsome young man manipulated all the colorful lights through his essence. The formation emitted fluctuating, vibrant lights, precisely designed to synergize with his domain-based technique, greatly amplifying its power. Under the control of his essence, the colorful lights rapidly surged toward Dongbo Xueying, causing his expression to shift slightly.

So many lights rushing in?

Dongbo Xueying’s Transcendent battle aura suddenly erupted, radiating outward with the Might of Star Essence. Yet these lights moved like water. When Dongbo Xueying’s crimson aura surged forward, the lights scattered, unharmed, and immediately regrouped to attack again.

The colorful lights surrounding him intensified rapidly, moving at incredible speed. Within the blink of an eye, all the lights across dozens of miles had gathered within a ten-meter radius around him.

They completely enveloped him.

“Unbearable.” Dongbo Xueying felt as if he were an ordinary person submerged in water. The Star Essence was an extremely defensive essence, also immensely powerful. With every movement, Dongbo Xueying easily tore through the dense lights. Yet countless beams still surrounded him. Just like an ordinary person in water, although easily breaking through the current, every movement faced resistance. Dongbo Xueying was in a similar situation.

The lights were easily dispersed, yet the resistance was immense!

“He’s been suppressed, his strength greatly diminished. Kill him!” Liehuo’s eyes gleamed with anticipation as he issued the command through telepathy.

The second-tier essence he mastered was the “Wave Space,” formed by the fusion of the third-tier Wave Essence, Light Essence, and two types of Spatial Essences.

“Die!” The succubus girl drew a blood-red bow, pulling it taut and releasing an arrow trailing a crimson thread, vanishing in an instant.

“Die, you Xia Clan Transcendent!” The black metallic man, too afraid to approach from afar, also drew a short spear. He poured his terrifying strength and essence into it before hurling it forth. In terms of raw power, he was the strongest in the team.

“Kill!” Liehuo himself also unleashed his technique.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! His fists struck out repeatedly, launching astonishingly fast black flame battle auras toward Dongbo Xueying.

Of course, as Transcendent Knights, their true strength lay in close combat. Their ranged attacks were relatively weaker. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to engage Dongbo Xueying up close unless absolutely necessary, for close combat meant the risk of death. Close combat was not part of Plan Two.

“Die!” The red-robed woman drew a scroll radiating deep blue.

It was a top-tier Demigod-level spell scroll!

In terms of ranged attacks, it was the Transcendent Mages who could unleash the greatest power! Moreover, the main focus of Plan Two was precisely this Demigod-tier spell!

“Boom!”

Within a hundred-mile radius, the forces of heaven and earth surged. Simultaneously, eight extremely thin disks materialized out of nowhere. These disks, seemingly composed of frigid ice, had razor-sharp edges! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The eight disks flew toward Dongbo Xueying at terrifying speed, slicing through everything in their path. Their immense power caused Dongbo Xueying’s expression to change drastically.

“Not good!” Dongbo Xueying sensed a life-threatening crisis. He could disregard the others’ attacks, but those ice disks were Demigod-tier spells. If they struck him, they could slice his body to pieces.

Zang Xiao, the purple-robed youth, and the demon Ji’er stood afar, not joining the fight. One was a novice, the other a demon adept at close combat, neither had suitable long-range techniques.

……

The fastest incoming attacks were Liehuo’s black flame battle auras, surging forward with terrifying waves.

Dongbo Xueying easily parried with his long spear. These incoming, relatively simplistic Transcendent battle auras were effortlessly blocked and dispersed. After all, the “Star Essence” was a second-tier essence equal to the “Ultimate Piercing!” Its gravitational ability was merely a side effect. More importantly, his entire being was like a star, his body’s defense as unshakable as the earth itself. Every movement was like a star crashing down, immensely powerful!

Therefore, under the suppression of the “Wave Space Seal,” Dongbo Xueying remained immensely strong. His power had not declined as much as the Reincarnators imagined—only about twenty percent.

Blocking with his spear.

He easily deflected those black flame battle auras. However, even after being weakened by his Starstone Flame Cloud Spear, the residual wave still surged into Dongbo Xueying’s hands, penetrating into his body! Fortunately, Dongbo Xueying’s body was protected by the Star Essence, allowing him to endure it forcefully.

“Damn. If not for my weapon blocking, I might have been injured.” Dongbo Xueying immediately assessed the attack’s power. “If I have to endure even a long-range strike, I’ll still get hurt?”

His Star Essence was famous for its defense! If even his body could be injured by it?

“And this colorful light wave suppression—it’s his doing too!” Dongbo Xueying glanced at the distant young man, immediately marking him as his most dangerous opponent.

Puh! Puh!

The Starstone Flame Cloud Spear moved like thunder, effortlessly deflecting an arrow and a short spear.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The true killing move, slightly delayed due to spell formation, finally arrived. Space itself seemed to be sliced apart as eight ice disks flew from all directions at high speed, their power enough to make Dongbo Xueying’s heart tremble. If Liehuo’s long-range attack could injure him, then these ice disks… had the potential to kill him!

“Too fast!” Dongbo Xueying could no longer afford distractions. He flew rapidly to dodge, yet the eight disks still closed in relentlessly. The red-robed woman’s cultivation realm was extremely high, rivaling some Demigod mages. Thus, even a spell from a scroll could be manipulated with great flexibility.

“Block!” Focusing entirely on the eight disks, Dongbo Xueying spared no effort. His spear instantly traced an arc, striving to defend.

Boom!

A collision occurred.

The Starstone Flame Cloud Spear, imbued with the mighty Star Essence, struck one of the disks head-on. The disk shattered, but Dongbo Xueying felt a tremor in both hands as a powerful shockwave surged through his body. Protected by his essence and a semi-divine artifact robe, the impact was merely brute force, not posing much danger. However—

The other seven disks arrived.

This spell’s most terrifying aspect was precisely this! The eight disks attacked simultaneously, encircling him. If even one couldn’t be blocked, it would mean life-threatening danger!

“Block, I’ll block!” Dongbo Xueying fought desperately. His spear moved like lightning, creating a series of afterimages. These spinning spear illusions vaguely resembled the slow rotation of stars and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Continuous impact sounds echoed. Dongbo Xueying’s heart was on edge as he fully unleashed his spear techniques to defend! The sharp edges of the ice disks repeatedly came dangerously close.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!! At this moment, besides the eight ice disks, the relentless waves of black flame battle auras also struck one after another. Dongbo Xueying dodged when possible, but when unavoidable, he could only endure. His spear was now fully dedicated to defending against the eight ice disks. Other non-lethal attacks were temporarily ignored.

Wave after wave of black flame battle auras slammed into Dongbo Xueying’s body. Protected by the Star Essence, renowned for its defense, its Might was fully displayed. Additionally, his semi-divine artifact robe shielded him!

Ultimately, the residual waves that penetrated into his body only caused internal tremors, a slight metallic taste rising in his throat.

It seemed slow,

but in reality, it was as fast as lightning.

“Hmph.” Dongbo Xueying finally exhaled in relief. In that split second, he had completely blocked all eight ice disks. Of course, he had also endured twelve black flame battle aura strikes directly. The waves penetrated his body, but fortunately, the Star Essence was strong enough, and the semi-divine robe provided sufficient protection. The injuries inside were manageable, though blood had risen to his mouth.

“Puh!” He spat out a mouthful of blood, finally feeling somewhat relieved. Those eight ice disks had been terrifyingly dangerous.

Nonetheless, Dongbo Xueying remained vigilant.

The Time-Space Temple Reincarnators, when working together, were indeed formidable. They had pushed him to such an extreme in an instant. If his defenses had been slightly weaker, he might have lost his life!
