The crowd watched as the Sects' representatives and the Emperor launched attacks at Patrick.
Patrick saw the attacks came at him at a fast speed; with Grace's analysis, he saw the skills and cultivations of these people and their secrets. He first wanted to let them feel helpless as they would not even lay a scratch on him.
BOOM!
The ground shook as the attacks reached Patrick; the attacks destroyed the platform and turned the debris to dust.
"Such a waste to kill a genius like that; this competition is over, those who were lucky to enter the top ten, you shall choose the sects your desire."
Everyone burst into commotion as the Emperor spoke; he had a little regret for not obtaining Patrick's cultivation technique.
But among the attackers, Jiang Shi was still floating at the location where Patrick was; he heard Patrick's challenge that he would announce his loss and join the person if they could make him move from his position. Although he didn't believe what Patrick said, he doubted if this boy would cause another impossible feat.
He turned where the two girls that came with this boy sat, but to his surprise, they were not slightly worried or had a panicked face for their man; they were still drinking their wine unbordered by what had just happened.
"Are these two really with this boy? They seem unfazed that we just attacked their man, and they are not even attentive to his well-being. Maybe they don't care about him? haha, they shall be mine then."
The representative from the Puppet Sect spoke as he had an evil, lustful smile; he thought that since Athena and Anna were not worried about their man, they didn't like him because he was weak. But as he was about to head to their location, they all heard a sigh as the person who was supposed to be dead after so many powerful attacks spoke from the dense d dust.
"Sigh."
"What a disappointment for the mighty Sects and arrogant Emperor to not even push a Qi condensation realm cultivator from his position; it's a shame."
The noisy crowd went into complete silence as they heard Patrick's voice; the cultivators who attached Patrick all had a panicked and astonished expression. One must account that over ten cultivators, all in the Spirit king realm and above and even an early Sage realm, contributed to the attack. However, this boy came out completely unscratched and remained in his position, except deep in the ground.
Patrick's figure appeared as the dust settled; his robe had not even a speck of dust on it, not to speak of himself who was fine as if he wasn't attacked at all. His appearance made many begin getting from their seats, as some even began leaving out of fear that Patrick might be a demon. A demon is the last thing people of the broken world want to experience, and if the attacks of their powerful Sects couldn't damage this person, it meant that they were doomed.
"Who are you?"
The Sage realm expert asked as he assumed a serious face; He had used ten percent of his power, and this person was not even pushed back, let alone injured; his senses began to ponder whether to attack this man or call for reinforcements. He began releasing more of his power from ten to fifty percent.
"Since you all failed to push me from my location, then it's my turn to see how much you can hold my presence pressure."
Patrick spoke as the words made the cultivators more alert and ready for combat; they began releasing their defensive abilities and treasures; they knew if their attacks couldn't cause this man damage, then his attacks must be strong. Some even had the idea to run away from sheer fear. But they were surprised when the man said he would only use his Qi pressure, which meant nothing to them from a Qi condensation realm.
[Skill: Presence pressure at the lowest is activated.]
Grace's voice rang out as the next moment, the atmosphere changed instantly as the clouds gathered and the surrounding qi went into disorder. The stadium was completely still as no one could move; the powerful sects' representatives and the Emperor all had despair on their faces. The treasures and skills they activated did not even protect them from Patrick's pressure for a second before they were turned to dust and vanished in thin air.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The next moment, the flying cultivators began falling to the ground like raindrops; the Sage realm expert was able to resit for two seconds before the pressure slammed him to the ground. His face was full of fear as he tried to raise his head and look at this person. It had been thousands of years before he had felt fear, In most cases, when he's trapped, he can use his escape treasure or talisman and be free, but this time his talisman and treasure were completely useless, leaving him defenseless on all fronts.
"What do you want?"
Jiang Shi asked with a worried face as he tried to resist the pressure with his full strength at one hundred percent. Some of the Spirit king realm cultivators were already passed out from the pressure, and those above that realm were spitting blood like vomit.
"To be honest, I don't need anything from your broken planet. Although it is my first cultivation multi-verse I visited, it is only because of my wife, but your methods in this world intrigue me."
Jiang Shi, the early Sage realm expert, and the struggling cultivators heard the words of Patrick as some couldn't hold anymore and completely passed out. Jiang Shi listened attentively as he heard unbelievable words from this boy; his thoughts wondered for a second before he heard the boy speak again.
"What have the demons promised you for you to betray your people and your world? I don't care; I am just enjoying the drama that's playing; I mean betrayal."
Patrick spoke as he floated from the debris and reached ground level with Jiang Shi; he ended his question holding his chin, wondering what the answer could be.
"Y..yo..you..., how do you know such information? Only the core elders like me and the sect masters in the Heavenly Rain Sect know this information... Are you from one of the Sacred families?.... If you are, then that would explain your knowledge of our cooperation with the demons."
Jiang Shi struggled with his words; he guessed that Patrick must be from one of the Sacres families, which will explain his strength and weird cultivation methods.
"You mean those who control you guys at the bottom, hahaha, you make me laugh; if I was from the Sacred realm, what would I be doing in a mortal realm like this?"
Patrick asked as he laughed mockingly; he already knew every aspect of the broken world, including the Sacred realm where the Sacred families live.
The Sacred families are three powerful families with more than ten immortal cultivators; they monitor the mortal realm by residing in a pocket realm connected to the immortal realm called the Sacred realm. That way, they can receive immortal Qi to cultivate. They have done this for thousands of years after the demon attack and had managed to associate themselves with the demons.
When Jiang Shi heard Patrick's words, he became truly afraid of Patrick; he thought that Patrick must be either from the Sacred realm or from the immortal realm for him to know all this information, but if Patrick is not from the Sacred realm, then it's only left with the immortal realm. Judging from his strength, he is not in the Qi condensation realm, but he is hiding his true strength, then 'what realm is he in?'
Jiang Shi thought as he struggled to raise his head, coughing blood in the process. His expression was pale, and his mighty domineering presence was all gone.
Patrick looked at Jiang Shi on the ground as he asked him.
"Are you waiting for backup from your sects, don't worry; they wouldn't know even if I killed you all or even if I wiped out the entirety of the Ju empire. But that is not my goal."
After speaking, Patrick used his right index finger to raise all the cultivators from the ground; the cultivators were still passed out from the pressure Patrick was releasing.
The crowd, which was still in the process of the entire event, just remained quiet and did not cause any commotion. The crowd was afraid that Patrick might be a demon, but from his conversation with the Sage realm expert, he is from a different world and doesn't need what the broken planet has. Some resumed their seats as they calmed from the situation, although some were still shocked from how a Qi condensation realm locked out over ten cultivators, including a Sage realm expert.
Before all the cultivators were knocked out on the ground, the black-robed man from the Devil Sect had substituted his location with a shadow that assumed his clone and cultivation realm as it was the one that the pressure knocked out, the black-robed man vanished from the stadium as he headed for the Devil Sect.
Athena and Anna already noticed this, so did Patrick and Grace. Patrick knew that the Devil Sect would not miss such an opportunity to rule the broken planet. He also knew that they collaborated with the Heavenly Rain Sect to work with the demons; Patrick also expected members from the Heavenly Rain Sect to appear.
"Hmm, it seems my plan worked by allowing him to use his shadow clone exchange technique; now, let's wait for the arrival of the powerful sects. Ohh, it seems the guardians from the Ju empire are also making their move; things are getting interesting."
Patrick spoke as he was the one to allow the dark-robed man to escape to bring more reinforcements and make his adventure more exciting. The raised cultivators all began waking up as Patrick canceled his pressure, releasing them from the constraint. The Sage realm experts were the first to stand on the ground as he used his Qi to reassemble the stage as it once was.
The cultivators from the Sects and the Ju emperor all stood in fear of Patrick and didn't make a move; some were even afraid to breathe aloud.
"Young friend, why don't you give me face by letting this matter go."
Suddenly, a voice was heard as a figure appeared in the air from a distance. The voice drew the crowd's attention and the sects' representatives. The Ju emperor was the gladdest when he heard this voice; he knew it was one of the guardians of the Ju empire.
Patrick looked up as he saw the figure of an older man floating in the air; the older man had a walking stick in his right hand supporting him. This man was the second guardian who was weaker than the first guardian.
Patrick resumed his expressionless face as this man's presence annoyed him; he smelled the stench of blood from this old man. He slowly rose to the same level as the man while speaking authoritatively, refuting the old man.
"What makes you think you deserve my respect?"
The question caught the old man off-guard, but he remained calm as he spoke.
"It is normal for young blood to be arrogant and disrespectful, especially you; you have proven that you are not from this realm, and your strength alone was able to suppress these kids, but I advise not to be too arrogant as that will be your downfall."
"You are not worthy to be on the same level in the air with me."
Patrick spoke as he floated higher than the old man, making him look at him.
"What is it that you seek with all this commotion you are causing?"
The old man remained unaffected by Patrick's actions as he asked; he didn't float to Patrick's level but spoke without looking up.
"This will surprise you, but I am just having fun with all this."
Again, the old man was left speechless as he looked up at Patrick in a weird way. What Patrick said was not an answer anyone would expect. He tried to probe Patrick's origins as he used his Qi sense but could not reach an inch with his probing.
"Ahh, now the expected guests have arrived, shall we begin?"
Patrick spoke as the space craked and opened. From the opened space came powerful auras in the Sage realm and above. These were the people Patrick had waited for before he began. But then, Grace's voice rang out.
