Supreme Uprising - Chapter 1251
Chapter 1251: Fighting On Two Fonts
The brilliant rays around the Hong Meng Dragon Tree had transitioned from their original golden-yellowish color to an exquisite shade of dark purple, while the divine light flashing from its body was nearly consumed by a greenish light.
A greenish light belonging to Yuan Sage Shending.
Yuan Sage Shending had arrived under the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. His back faced the crowd, giving off the airy demeanor of a divine being.
“Yuan Sage Wuxiang! I’m not seeing you out!” Yuan Sage Shending snapped as the radiance that represented Yuan Sage Wuxiang dissipated from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Yuan Sage Wuxiang was more than 1,000 feet away from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. His eyes burned with anger, as he had lost his best chance to obtain the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Obtaining the Hong Meng Dragon Tree would allow him to achieve transcendence.
However, he had never expected to be knocked out of the race just as he had been very certain that the Hong Meng Dragon Tree was within his grasp.
It was no longer meaningful for him to impose his mind power on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. The reason was that Yuan Sage Shending would not spare him another opportunity and expanding all his mind power would be futile in the end.
He had lost his only foothold and was destined to lose the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Yuan Sage Shending was beleaguered by three parties. However, after expelling Yuan Sage Wuxiang, it all came down to Luo Yunyang and Yuan Sage Blood Shadow, who were fighting against him.
Luo Yunyang was fairly confident about seizing the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, but seeing how the situation had unfolded had shaken his confidence.
His present body was no weaker than a Yuan Sage’s body in terms of strength, as he had absorbed the spirit essence of the Sky Wrecking Great Sage.
With the aid of his attribute regulator, he could increase his Mind Attributes to a level several times higher than that of an ordinary Yuan Sage. However, disregarding the fact that Yuan Sage Shending had an innate advantage over him, the sudden outburst and surge in Yuan Sage Shending’s mind power had also exceeded that of Luo Yunyang’s.
Most of all, Luo Yunyang was starting to sense resistance from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, which hadn’t resisted him so far.
The resistance wasn’t obvious but it was enough to be felt clearly by Luo Yunyang.
The reason for this resistance was simple. Hong Meng Dragon Tree was starting to acknowledge Yuan Sage Shending.
Once the Hong Meng Dragon Tree accepted Yuan Sage Shending as its master, Luo Yunyang and Yuan Sage Blood Shadow would lose the battle.
The area Yuan Sage Blood Shadow refined had gradually withdrawn from the trunk of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, leaving only a thin branch that was just half a foot thick!
Even so, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow’s blood rays would not stop withdrawing. If this continued, he would inevitably end up like Yuan Sage Wuxiang.
“Shending, you’re indeed a step ahead of us this time. I’m displeased, but I do not want to continue tangling with you,” Yuan Sage Blood Shadow said abruptly.
Then, the branch that he was refining suddenly broke off from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
The broken branch released an immeasurable amount of spirit essence toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, while the green leaves hanging on the branch became lifeless in an instant.
Yuan Sage Blood Shadow paid no attention to what had happened, as he was concerned about the branch that was heading toward him rapidly.
“Blood Shadow, what you did wasn’t useful at all!” Yuan Sage Shending seemed calm, but his rage could be heard in his tone. He was angry that Yuan Sage Blood Shadow had snapped off the branch of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
When the broken branch flew away, a small twig sprung from the section snapped off from the main trunk of the tree. In the blink of an eye, the small twig became thicker than the palm of the hand while leaves grew rapidly on it.
10 seconds later, a branch looking exactly like the one that had snapped off reappeared on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
It seemed as though there was no difference between before and after the branch had snapped off from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. However, Luo Yunyang could sense that the aura on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree had somewhat weakened.
The impact was minimal on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
“Ha ha ha… Yuan Sage Shending, I can’t allow you to take the entire Hong Meng Dragon Tree for yourself and leave us with nothing.”
Yuan Sage Blood Shadow mocked him sarcastically, yet this was merely a facade meant to conceal the fact that the present situation was something he did not want to see happen.
Obtaining only a branch from this fight would be a major defeat for him.
However, considering that Yuan Sage Wuxiang had obtained nothing, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow found that obtaining something was some sort of saving grace.
Yuan Sage Shending had no time to bicker with Yuan Sage Blood Shadow. With the departure of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow, he now controlled more than 90% of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
He also began to feel the power of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree fusing with his mind power. He felt that he could become the owner of the tree, as this mind power flowed within him.
Although a small part of the tree was still being dominated by that obscure Yuan Monarch, Yuan Sage Shending felt that he was nearing success.
His opponents were Yuan Sage Blood Shadow, Yuan Sage Wuxiang, and that top-level Yuan Sage who had yet to make a move. Definitely not this nameless, unknown figure.
Luo Yunyang was shrouded by his disguise so Yuan Sage Shending could not recognize him.
The disparity between Luo Yunyang and Yuan Sage Shending was so huge that Yuan Sage Shending simply ignored the area controlled by Luo Yunyang. He was only concerned and worried about Luo Yunyang taking a leaf out of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow’s book by snapping off a branch of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
The three sacred fruits on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree were guarded closely by Yuan Sage Shending. Only two turns of time and space were left, so he had to be careful to prevent others from picking the sacred fruits and protect the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Each of the three sacred fruits could help anyone who consumed it become a Yuan Monarch or even a Yuan Sage!
“Junior, leave now and I won’t make things difficult for you!” Yuan Sage Shending watched the Hong Meng Dragon Tree closely and addressed Luo Yunyang.
In his opinion, Luo Yunyang wasn’t worthy enough for him to go all out.
Yuan Sage Shending’s self-confidence wasn’t domineering in Luo Yunyang’s opinion. He could feel the pressure of Yuan Sage Shending as well as the resistance of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree against his own mind power.
The area refined by Luo Yunyang’s mind power had started resisting Luo Yunyang so much that it was considered an all-out attack against his mind power.
While this subtle offensive move could not remove Luo Yunyang’s mind power, it made refining the area 10 times harder than it was.
The best option right now if he could not come up with a solution would be to give up the Hong Meng Dragon Tree immediately.
It remained impossible to change the situation by gathering all his attributes from his body in the 36 Great Cosmoses with the assistance of his attribute regulator.
However, Luo Yunyang was unwilling to let Yuan Sage Shending obtain the Hong Meng Dragon Tree!
While this was occurring, Luo Yunyang’s body in the 36 Great Cosmoses took on the Annihilation Sky Fist of the Great Era Destroyer Palm.
Faced with Yuan Sage Shending’s vigorous mind power on one end and the mighty blow of the Great Era Destroyer Palm on the other end, both bodies of Luo Yunyang were in immense danger.
Many thoughts were going through his mind as he observed both situations gravely. He knew he would put himself in even greater danger if he did what he was considering, but it was the only way to turn around the current peril.
His attribute regulator flashed before his eyes as figures representing his attributes appeared in his mind.
Without any hesitation, Luo Yunyang transferred all the power attributes from the body in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm to the body in the 36 Great Cosmoses.
His body in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm was almost done refining the spirit essence of the Sky Wrecking Great Sage and possessed fighting prowess far superior to his body in the 36 Great Cosmoses.
However, he couldn’t find an opportunity to adjust his power because he was competing for the Hong Meng Dragon Tree against Yuan Sage Blood Shadow and Yuan Sage Shending.
The mighty Annihilation Sky Fist arrived in front of Luo Yunyang in mere moments, just in time for him to finish transferring his attributes as he countered it with a move of his own.
The move wasn’t the Obliteration Finger. It was the Great Obliteration Samsara Mark!
The Great Obliteration Samsara Mark was a combination of the essence of his Great Obliteration Millstone and Samsara Wheel. It was so formidable that it even encompassed the power of the Samsara.
The fist collided with the palm in the void!
They were evenly matched for a moment before the Annihilation Sky Fist began to retreat!
The martialists from the Human Race stared wide-eyed while Luo Yunyang used his technique. Although they knew that their Human Ruler was much stronger than them, they had not expected their Human Ruler to be better than the Great Era Destroyer Palm.
However, Luo Yunyang had done it! His move reignited the hope in their hearts!
The five fingers of the Great Era Destroyer Palm gathered once again and their voices returned to normal.
“A Yuan Sage! You are actually a Yuan Sage! How is it possible to have a Yuan Sage in this realm?” A deep voice echoed from the ends of the realm.
Luo Yunyang didn’t respond but went ahead and increased the magnitude of his Great Obliteration Samsara Mark once again. It wasn’t because Luo Yunyang did not want to say anything to the Great Era Destroyer Palm but because he was running out of time.
There was not enough time for this plan to succeed, and it would be very unfavorable for him if anything went wrong at any moment during this plan.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
The Annihilation Sky Fist sent forth by the Great Era Destroyer Palm retreated quickly as cracks began to develop on the massive fist formed by the sky laws.
“Luo Yunyang, do you want to know the reason I’m destroying the Great Eras again and again? I shall show you the supreme treasure I have spent countless Great Eras to refine. You won’t die in vain if you get to witness this supreme treasure before the Sacred Venerate does!” The Great Era Destroyer Palm snarled frantically as he retracted his Annihilation Sky Fist.
However, Luo Yunyang did not pursue this, as he was rapidly adjusting his power attributes.
