It seemed as if Yu Chen would die.
It seemed as if it was already nearing his end. He could not think of any way to stop the attack from completely engulfing...
If he uses the power from the time mist, he might simply end up gravely injured.
In the face of the power of time, Yu Chen is simply an ordinary human. Even though he had awakened, he still hadn't abandoned mortality.
Abandoning mortality is one of the ways to proceed to ascension.
Which is why the backlash for using the power of time is more severe for someone like Yu Chen.
Yu Chen's eyes were red, he stood up as a streak of light appeared around him and it shuttled back and forth.
He reverted back to a brief moment of invincibility.
When the whirlpool reached Yu Chen, it was unavoidable so it shook the world, snapped the heavens and pierced through existence.
Yu Chen struggled to maintain his current form, the torrent of power simply breaking space and chasing time...
Suddenly the time around Yu Chen began to thin out.
"You think you can hide in the past and the future? I'd fish you out!"
Yu Chen's pupils shrank instantly. He had found his nemesis... if the massive insect succeeded in bringing him back to the present, Yu Chen would suffer the backlash and in the end still die.
He immediately cancelled his invincibility and at the same time, a powerful defense throttled from the earth. It shielded him from the whirlpool...
Two powerful forces connected.
The resulting effect caused an earth-shattering shockwave.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Yu Chen was blasted backwards and he spat out blood in shock...
Why on earth was the Spire of Sovereignty so strong?
At least, there should be a way for Yu Chen to end this battle rather heroically, but he was not seeing that way out...
He could not counter a blow from the creature let alone two blows.
Yu Chen saw the two antennas come alive.
Chakra particles suddenly gathered and exploded...
It seem as if space shrank and the void was whipped, and piece of it fell like droplets of water.
Yu Chen was horrified.
He retreated, blood in his mouth... He shifted and willed a pair of wings...
He flapped once and it generated a hurricane but, the sky tore like the pages of a book and it collapsed upon Yu Chen and he plummeted into the earth like a fallen star.
Boom.
The impact of the fall created shockwaves that spread far and deep.
"Not good..."
Yu Chen immediately got up, the wings behind his back had long vanished, but he willed another pair.
"Trying to escape from me again?"
The sky seem to darken again and the universe rippled and churned like an endless wave.
Like a heavy lead, the sky pressed down upon Yu Chen that the wings could not take him up, rather he slowly plummeted.
But Yu Chen was prepared.
An invisible earth materialized under his feet that stopped his fall. But it seem as if the earth under his feet was shaking too. Yu Chen watched helplessly as as his own manifested earth collapsed.
At this moment, Yu Chen was looking so miserable. He had utterly exhausted himself of his energy. He could only wait for death to come take him...
Besides, he was already death's heir so what was there to fear. If he dies, there's a possibility of reincarnation.
Yu Chen smirked and waited for death, but then... There was a boom in the sky and a bang.
The space seem to melt and repair itself.
Yu Chen's eyes immediately lit up.
It was Moon fairy.
Her face was utterly serious as she glared at the Spire of Sovereignty. It was a difficult opponent. Moon fairy herself knew that she would die if she fights with it to the death, but at least, she wanted to show the massive insect that humans had experts too.
"Who are you? That ant had wiped my heir, why should I not attack. I bear a grudge, I won't let him live..."
"Then you have to go through me first..."
Suddenly it looked as if a massive moon manifested behind the moon fairy. She became almost an ant to such a huge visualization.
This is her moon art. It feeds her raw power from three universes...
At this moment, moon fairy felt as if her strength and power had been transformed completely... like a god, she raised her hands and pressed down.
The Spire of Sovereignty moved too, it's form suddenly transformed. A light flickered and it connected from the sky to the earth. It seem as if this was doomsday and that the universe was about to be destroyed.
Yu Chen was shocked.
"Such destructive power?"
The revelation actually caused Yu Chen to despair. This realization shattered Yu Chen. The moon fairy is actually very strong, much more and far more stronger than he is.
Plus the Spire of Sovereignty had not actually revealed it's true power. Meaning that, Yu Chen had not been able to force it to a corner that makes it want to use it's true power.
Suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The world blanched.
Yu Chen experienced Senlou's Light of Annihilation true power.
Meaning that, if he had chosen to survive the moon fairy's strongest attack, he wouldn't have been able to survive the onslaught.
He had really underestimated the Seven Saints of Dukkha.
Yu Chen looked at the fight ongoing in the sky...
Moon fairy had been gravely injured, and the Spire of Sovereignty had also received a share of the pain...
Both spat out blood and stared at the other.
Immediately, the Spire of Sovereignty turned and fled. The same time, Yu Chen saw a notification pop up in his line of sight.
[You have still 200 days until the Spire of Sovereignty returns. His hatred still runs deep.]
Yu Chen immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
At least, a moment of safety wasn't a bad thing. Yu Chen glared at the moon fairy and smiled.
She returned back the smile.
