Chapter 243: Intense Battle

King Milan, standing beside, was filled with fury. Flames erupted from his entire body, and a towering crimson apparition, a hundred meters high, appeared behind him, seemingly burning the heavens and destroying the earth, with a melting aura surging downward!

The air was filled with a mix of scorching heat and extreme cold.

Remarkably, these two opposing energies were well-controlled and did not conflict. Instead, they harmoniously targeted only the Blood God Sect Leader.

At this moment, with the combination of ice and fire creating an astounding spectacle, the surrounding alchemical formations in the Circular Market covered the scene, making it imperceptible from the outside.

The other three Sacred Domain experts, though silent, had coordinated to spread out and block the Blood God Sect Leader’s escape routes.

Their collective thought was clear: no matter the real situation, first, they must take down the evil Sacred Domain below!

The dwarf-sized Poseus floated silently in the air, his eyes glowing like two small bulbs, radiating endless light!

Light Elemental Mysteries–Illumination! This was one of the most representative forms of the Light Elemental Mysteries, capable of revealing all disguises, uncovering falsehoods, and plunging individuals into endless light, causing them to lose their will unconsciously…

However, to reach the point of completely erasing one’s will, one would need to attain a profound mastery of the Illumination Mysteries. Poseus had just begun to learn and could only reveal disguises.

In the current battle, this was already sufficient–endless light sweeping across a large space, leaving no hiding place unexposed!

The Blood God Sect Leader, who was about to become invisible, was clearly revealed to everyone!

King Rem, narrowing his eyes, harbored a hint of murderous intent. As the ruler of his kingdom, if he did not take down this intruder, where was his authority?

He struck with a powerful move, and a bow and arrow appeared out of thin air in his hand–a reasonable possession for a Sacred Domain expert with a spatial ring.

Then, a deep yellow light rapidly coalesced into a yellow-orange glowing arrow, with the surrounding space visibly trembling intensely.

Under King Rem’s control, this arrow, highly condensed with Earth Elemental Mysteries and emitting spatial fluctuations, shot out with a whoosh, breaking through all obstacles and heading straight for the Blood God Sect Leader’s head!

Boom, boom, boom

The arrow’s flight was accompanied by strong spatial vibrations.

This arrow was not just a typical piercing sound but a thunderous roar, shaking the space violently. Ordinary people caught within this tremor would be crushed to mush.

The Blood God Sect Leader, locked onto by this spatially vibrating arrow, felt the crushing pressure around him, making each step extremely difficult. Moreover, the surrounding cold and melting Mysteries posed additional threats!

A fierce, cruel expression flashed in the Blood God Sect Leader’s eyes. He licked his lips and revealed a sinister smile.

“You’re forcing me…” The Blood God Sect Leader roared, and his mouth opened wide, transforming into a terrifyingly vast black hole, exuding an aura of profound darkness, seemingly capable of soul-devouring.

The surrounding boundless energy and various mysterious attacks were all absorbed by this powerful black hole, effortlessly neutralizing them!

The various phenomena around instantly returned to calm.

The space fell into a deathly silence.

The five Sacred Domain experts in the sky looked grim. Mona, in her white robe, spoke slowly, “Dark Elemental Mysteries–Devouring, has indeed been comprehended to a great extent by this person. Such a large number of attacks could be neutralized in one go…”

At this moment, the other experts narrowed their eyes, their faces showing grave expressions. They were not fools and understood the implications. They had already learned about the Devouring Mysteries, which, like darkness, could engulf everything. Theoretically, anything in the world could be devoured and dissolved, making any encounter with a dark-element Sacred Domain expert who has comprehended Devouring Mysteries particularly troublesome and difficult to handle quickly!

“Hahaha, you bunch of Sacred Domain experts, what are you afraid of dealing with just me? Come on!” The Blood God Sect Leader laughed maniacally, licking his lips, with a sickly flush on his face.

However, despite his boastful words, he was actually using the power of the Devouring Mysteries to consume everything around him, including the Illumination Mysteries that made him visible. Thus, the Blood God Sect Leader became invisible once more.

“Not good, he’s trying to escape!” King Rem’s expression changed slightly. The bowstring he had drawn lost its target. He then turned his gaze to Poseus and sent a subtle mental signal.

Without needing King Rem’s reminder, Poseus knew what to do. Almost as soon as he received the message “use Illumination Mysteries,” his eyes once again shone with brilliant light!

A faint, dawn-like glow enveloped the world.

In the distance, a dark energy appeared in the air!

“There!” King Rem shouted, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow. The yellowish streak of light shot like a rainbow, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently once more.

Accompanied by the tremors were fierce roars and flashes of lightning.

It was as if the heavens and earth were locked down. The Blood God Sect Leader felt trapped in a quagmire, surrounded by swirling black-red energy that neutralized the shockwaves. However, his speed significantly decreased, and he could barely move.

The Blood God Sect Leader glared furiously at King Rem, marking him as the fiercest blocker.

At that very moment, Heipas silently transformed into mist and disappeared from the original location. When he reappeared, he had silently materialized behind the Blood God Sect Leader, his wand pointing at the Blood God Sect Leader’s back, with a dazzling magic crystal the size of a fist shooting a deep blue beam.

Heipas’s mouth curved into a victorious smile, believing that once hit, the Blood God Sect Leader would surely be unable to escape!

In fact, the ‘Blood God Sect Leader’ was indeed successfully ambushed.

After being pierced by the deep blue light, the chilling aura quickly spread, turning into a solid ice crystal and freezing him on the spot.

However, within the ice crystal, the Blood God Sect Leader, with his back to Heipas, displayed a sinister smile of trickery. Suddenly, his entire body transformed into deep darkness, and all the ice crystals in contact with the darkness instantly shattered and were absorbed into the darkness!

Heipas’s smile froze instantly, and a sense of foreboding rose within him.

“Not good, this person’s Devouring Mysteries are not just complete; they are near-perfect!” Heipas’s pupils contracted sharply, internally screaming as he tried to withdraw and create distance.

But a cold voice entered his mind–“You are the Tower Master of the Circular Tower, right? Investigating me so eagerly will come at a price. Today, you will learn what it means to anger me…”

Dark Elemental Mysteries–Deprivation! Just as Heipas’s sense of dread reached its peak, he heard this voice in his mind. Following that was an unstoppable force penetrating his mind, defenseless, instantly obliterating all his senses, and darkness engulfed his entire consciousness.

In the outside world.

The other Sacred Domain experts saw Heipas’s ambush succeed, and their eyes even flashed with joy.

However, the subsequent change left everyone dumbfounded.

Heipas suddenly became motionless after shooting the freezing ray, standing in the air like a zombie, and then fell powerless, his wand dropping.

“Boom!”

Immediately, a thunderous explosion erupted!

A pillar of dark energy coalesced from above, directly smashing into Heipas’s head, accelerating his fall, leaving his life and death unknown.

The sudden shift in the situation made King Rem, nearby, furious. The bow and arrow in his hand erupted with intense Earth Elemental energy, seemingly ready to burst the space itself, accompanied by arrows expanding several times, now as thick as an arm!

Boom, boom, boom!

The space resonated with thunderous roars, and the intensity of the tremors increased severalfold. The Blood God Sect Leader looked in shock at King Rem, wondering if he was risking his life.

His face then showed a hint of madness. Gritting his teeth, he intensified his resolve, and a dark aura once again enveloped him.

Facing another wave of energy attacks, the Blood God Sect Leader’s face finally showed a hint of pain. The recent use of Devouring Mysteries, although effective in a flash, drained him. His previously flushed face turned pale, indicating the cost of using such power. Frequent use of the Devouring Mysteries against multiple Sacred Domain experts’ full-force attacks was proving too taxing for him.

Utilizing the vacuum period of devouring everything around him, the Blood God Sect Leader disdainfully glanced at the fallen Heipas, preparing to turn invisible and seek another opportunity to avenge old and new grudges.

However, just as he turned, a thunderous explosion erupted above his head.

Milan, having approached unnoticed, raised his giant sword overhead, creating a vast sea of flames, turning the entire sky into a fiery color. The giant sword moved through the air, and the Blood God Sect Leader, witnessing this scene, felt a deadly crisis rising within him, his expression changing drastically!

“Your end is near. You won’t escape today!” Milan, with a cold gaze, activated his strongest power, the near-perfect Fire Elemental Mysteries–Explosion!

The vast sea of flames gradually descended.

In the Blood God Sect Leader’s horrified eyes, the sea of flames suddenly condensed into a singularity, exploding with tremendous power.

The violent energy surged toward the Blood God Sect Leader’s figure. As an Explosion Mysteries, in terms of destructive power, it was infinitely stronger than King Rem’s spatial arrow or Heipas’s freezing beam.

At the moment of attack, the surrounding space seemed to tremble, and the dark energy around the Blood God Sect Leader was continuously torn apart by the fiery waves, threatening to burn everything to ashes!

“Boom!” The intense explosion turned the space into a fiery vortex, completely engulfing the Blood God Sect Leader. The surrounding Sacred Domain experts could hardly see anything, just feeling the blazing heat on their skin.

King Rem and the others silently observed, their faces grim. Although they could see the Blood God Sect Leader clearly visible in the fire, the situation was still ambiguous.

The aftermath of the explosion was both dazzling and terrifying, presenting an unparalleled scene.

The ground was incinerated, the sky was lit with fire, and everything seemed to be consumed by the explosion. The Blood God Sect Leader’s figure could only be faintly discerned amid the endless fire and smoke.

“Keep a close watch!” King Rem’s eyes flashed with a stern look. “The Blood God Sect Leader’s vitality is extraordinary, and this final explosion might not have ended him!”

At this moment, everyone was on high alert.

The fierce and violent battle continued as the Blood God Sect Leader struggled to escape, with the Sacred Domain experts working together to neutralize him.

The intense confrontation in the Circular Market had reached its climax, with the fate of all involved hanging in the balance.
