Chapter 499: Lord Khal, Lord of the Zero Realm! (1)
[Well, it was kinda expected this won’t be easy.]
Chasing after Daire with his Space Teleportation and trying to injure him with his plasma sword while occasionally sending different attacks at him, Khal frowned scarcely when he heard Nova’s voice.
Yeah, she had a point that it was pretty much expected he wouldn’t be able to beat Daire right in the first few minutes and even struggle a little bit, but at least he expected he could injure him and gradually surpass him with his Power Cores and his insane amount of Body Essence which he increased every single day by at least 10,000 units!
Yet, not only did this plan of his fail but even his expectations to land a single attack on Daire did not turn into reality! The only thing he achieved was destruction around him and on the platform that whenever got destroyed or damaged got recovered to its original and perfect state in just a few seconds!
It seemed the silver glow that covered it in a thin layer was some kind of unique skill Hale or the other five Lords used in order to avoid the platform’s destruction.
’Maybe I should use my Divine Soul Sutra?’ Khal asked but quickly shook his head, ’Nah, that would be an overkill. If I use it I am sure he will die.’
[You are pretty funny thinking you can kill him despite failing to land a single strike on him so far. I bet if the other Lords would have heard your statement they would immediately start to laugh and think you have got a few screws loose.]
’I mean, that is only natural. However, what I have said is the truth.’ Khal asserted as he avoided a massive explosion caused by two of his clones’ attacks with his SPace Teleportation, and continued, ’My Divine Soul Sutra can severe anyone’s soul upon a single touch regardless of strength or power.’
’The only way to avoid it is if one cultivated their soul to the point where it is literally one with their body!’
[I am pretty sure that Daire and very likely all the Lords present cultivated their souls in one way or another so I would not be surprised if you fail to use your technique.]
[Also, getting close to Lord of the Sixth Realm is pretty much impossible. Perhaps you have noticed it already, but the space around him seems to be twisted and even some of your clones’ attacks that reached him vanished from sight.]
’Yeah, I have noticed it.’ Khal nodded his head secretly as he channeled a massive amount of his Body Essence into his plasma sword and swung it horizontally.
"Haha! You ar truly something else! Lord Hale was indeed right! You are full of tricks and surprises! Haha!" avoiding the plasma sword by teleporting into the sky, Daire laughed like an excited kid while he swung his right hand and struck a fireball in another direction as if he was hitting a normal volleyball.
BOOOOM!
Khal watched silently as the fireball exploded just a few hundred meters behind Daire and stopped dead in his track. He even orders the same from his clones while controlling them silently to surround Daire.
Daire obviously noticed and understood Khal’s plan, but for some weird reason, he did nothing to stop it. He just floated in empty air, his scarcely baby face holding nothing but a wide and excited grin.
However, that face only lasted for a few seconds before it gradually vanished, and what replaced it was a scary and almost blood-freezing smirk.
[Not good! Dodge!]
Nova wished immediately to warn Khal to move, but unfortunately, it was too late. Even before Khal’s brain could have processed what happened a piercing pain assaulted the middle of his chest while blood uncontrollably gushed out of his mouth!
Daire gazed coldly into Khal’s eyes as his hand pierced his chest, his blood-covered hand holding a throbbing heart behind Khal’s back!
Squelch!
With a firm clench, Daire squashed Khal’s heart and yanked his hand out of his body, watching an indifferent gaze as Khal’s body collapsed onto the ground with eyes wide as saucers.
"Interesting. So you can swap places with your clones?" an amused smile formed on Daires’ face as he turned around, only to see as the blade of a plasma sword was descending down from the sky at him, now only a single inch away from splitting his body into two!
BOOOOOOOM!
A great explosion burst out the next second with thick ripples sweeping in every direction that shattered the platform, but surprisingly, except for that nothing else happened.
Khal, who used the special skill of his newly acquired Beast Core to avoid certain death, frowned and watched as his plasma sword was stuck without him unable to move it in any direction!
"Just how many tricks do you still have up in your sleeve, I wonder." Daire, with one hand, extended above his head talked calmly, his palm calmly holding Khal’s plasma sword as if it was just a wooden sword!
"Tsk!" Khal clicked his tongue but quickly calmed down and deactivated his ’Mechanical Saber’ Artifact Core and his ’Duplication’ Power Core before using Space Teleportation to appear several miles above Daire.
"And now what do you wish to do?" Daire asked as he tilted his head curiously.
"You will see soon enough," Khal stated with indifference as he extended his right hand toward the sky and did something he has never done in his life.
"Let’s hope this won’t kill me..." Khal mumbled and without any further ado activated all of his Power Cores, skills, Martial Techniques, and Secret Arts together with his three Blessings!
Whoosh!
In a flash, the scenery around Khal in at least a thousand miles radius changed completely with all kinds of various powers swirling and crashing against each other while aftereffects such as massive shockwaves, pillar thick bolts of lightning with different colors, various elemental storms, and other supernatural phenomena that through normal means would never arise!
"What is he trying to do?" Daire mumbled quietly as he raised a brow and summoned a barrier around his body to fend against the destruction that from time to time fell on him.
