Chapter 1854: Spread Out

Once Ulyzen launched at Drake, he belatedly noticed the latter's five-kilometer yang-attributed Perfect Domain as his pupils dilated. Meanwhile, the four kilometers he looked so proud of appeared small in front of it that he almost lost the confidence to counterattack. However, with the swelling anger that kept his going, he clenched his fist and punched out against Drake.

*Boom!~*

The air seared as yang flames appeared, heading straight towards Drake as it exploded on him.

The women couldn't momentarily believe how crass these men from the Dual Lotus Manor Territory were as they felt nauseous, some even involuntarily imagining that scene as they visibly wretched before they came out of their reverie and looked at the others, adopting a battle pose.

"There's too many of them. Spread out and keep some distance. It should be then easier to shred them one by one."

Clara sent a soul transmission to everyone else.

They didn't even question her command and quickly rushed in different directions as though…

"Catch them! They're escaping!"

The youths from the alliance shouted and rushed towards them.

Kara Moonridge raised both her palms and shot an ice arrow towards Kritika before escaping in another direction. It successfully managed to garner the latter's attention as she began to follow Kara Moonridge with a few others, numbering over to five people.

Sophie and Niera escaped in another direction as a two-women cell. However, they had four youths who summoned three and a half kilometer Perfect Domains on their tail, wanting to suppress them with quantity.

Logan, Claire, and Nora shot to another location in a single direction, seemingly attracting the most number of youths, numbering to thirty. However, their lips turned into one of disdain when they saw that they were all possibly possessors of Supreme Domains, giving them the urge to want to play with them.

Mu Bing had Hayou Azureclaw following behind her while the other five Mystic Ice Sect maidens faced ten people with Supreme Domains as they gained distance.

Esvele and her three Burning Phoenix Ridge maidens had the remaining forces follow them, numbering over to thirteen youths with Supreme Domain. It could be said that her group had the unluckiest pull as they were hugely outnumbered in both strength and numbers, but that was only in the eyes of the crowd who hadn't fully witnessed their prowess.

Quickly, the battlefield spread to the surroundings, even at the edges of the crevices.

"Ahaha! How is the place we found? It's designed to be like a natural formation, meaning that this is a strategic zone to trap and push enemies to their proverbial death!"

However, as quickly as they escaped, Sophie and Niera found themselves suddenly pulled by the crevices as though the abyss was trying to devour them. They quickly activated their domains, having the pressure eased by many times as two five-kilometer domains appeared.

The moment they appeared, it caused the four youths with Perfect Domains to hang their mouths agape.

Another two five-kilometer domains!?

What kind of resources did the Emperor of Death provide these two!?

The others of Clara's team also noticed the crevices having a gravitational pull, seeking to eliminate them. Some stayed clear, and others who were confident provoked their enemies to step onto the same level as them to battle.

The exponential buildup of this scenario left the crowd breathing with bated breaths, their eyes wide with anxiety and nervousness as though they were afraid to miss anything that was going to happen.

But on the other hand, Drake didn't run and faced Ulyzen while neither did another person.

"You're not gonna run, huh?"

A green-robed man with cloudy and windy patterns on his robe addressed Clara. He was none other than Jambei of the Ascending Path Sect.

"I have no need to when the others are doing their work perfectly."

"Work?"

Jambei amusingly shook his head.

"Anyways, I'm a rather carefree individual who hadn't had any interest in women or battles up until now. Honestly, I'm interested in you more. How do you feel about that? Don't be shy or reserved to answer while fearing that you could hurt my feelings. This competition is an exchange of interests after all."

"Unnecessary."

"Blunt as needed. Very good!" Jambei nodded with a smile, "However, I hope that you don't regret when I become powerful as your brother in the future."

Clara's indifferent expression suddenly twitched, her lips actually curving into a smile full of disdain.

"You… are not worthy."

Jambei's heart shook as his black hair waved in the air, but he still appeared indifferent.

"It's not up to you to say that. Time will tell us which one of our words will emerge as the truth."

He waved his hand when the atmosphere became utterly silent.

*Whoosh!~*

Abruptly, a breeze flew beside Clara, slashing across her waist!

However, a formless might emerged, clashing with the wind that threatened to slice her.

*Bang!~*

The formless might shattered while the seemingly common yet deadly breeze also seemed to have run out of energy, causing Clara to raise her brows in astonishment, not because her formless might be broken but because she was suddenly encased in his green domain; a five-kilometer wind-attributed Perfect Domain!

Jambei smirked as he saw the astonishment in Clara's beautiful eyes.

"Since you are a successor to the Heaven Mandate Temple, I assume that you're so proud of your Mandate Laws that got you to this point. However, I hate to break it to you that my existence is formless like your Mandate Laws, as formless as the wind, to be precise. I have a unique physique that is rarer than a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse with a fifth tier rune; the Imposing Rune that's almost non-existent these days."

He raised his brows and tilted his head, looking smug.

"Are you still going to reject me?"

As his voice echoed out with pride, the other battles began to take place as explosions occurred and the sandy surface caved.

However, Clara ignored them as her expression remained calm, her figure poised.

"You are still not worthy."

"…"

Jambei clenched his fists, not expecting to have been rejected twice when so many female disciples back in the sect were head over heels for him. However, he calmed his heart, knowing that he was too hasty in asking questions. He knew that if he wanted to gain the beauty's favor, it was appropriate to first defeat her and show her that he was stronger than her and could take care of her in the future!

On the other hand, Clara was not worried about her formless might breaking. Her power depended on the prowess of words, not having energy thrown around like everyone else.

*Zzz!~*

A spherical layer filled the space as it extended over Jambei's Perfect Domain. However, the spherical light came quickly as it disappeared, causing his pupils to dilate.

'This… it's so pure… purely transparent…?'

Jambei couldn't believe his eyes as Clara's Mandate Domain was unlike the other Mandate Domains he had seen. Not only was it almost impossible to perceive, but it was also formless than his wind.

Is this what a Mandate Domain would look like when it reached five kilometers in radius!? Or was there something else demanding his attention to unravel her powers?

He couldn't tell but deeply smiled, understanding why she remained unshaken by his domain as the answer was that she also possessed a five-kilometer Perfect Domain, completely flipping his views on her.

"Clara, I-"

"Kneel~"

"…!!!?"

Clara raised her hand and pointed her finger at him when Jambei's knees cracked as he suddenly found himself caving from immense pressure. His veins popped as he clenched his teeth, disallowing himself from kneeling as intense anger swelled within him, making him raise his head as he saw her indifferent expression.
