Chapter 678: Chapter 581: Lost in the Cosmos
Facing the provocation of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, the Great Mage merely responded with a smile as he gently waved his hand, and the surrounding planets suddenly flew towards him.
Clone Nine merged with a planet, causing the entire planet to start shaking, and the other planets seemed to resonate, shaking incessantly.
A beam of light shot out from the other planets, directly striking the planet in sight, which shook again after absorbing the power.
At this moment, the planet’s surface began to change, two eyes slowly opened, and other areas grew many gigantic tentacles.
"It seems that this Great Mage went astray even when he was alive, judging by the appearance of this planet, it ought to be an extraterrestrial demon."
Upon hearing the exclamation from the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, the leader wasn’t surprised at all; these clones each possessed unique abilities and had recently been to other universes.
He had seen a plethora of bizarre matters.
"The so-called extraterrestrial demon exists in another dimension as monsters distinct from alien beasts."
"Alien beasts are animals, while demons have transformed from humans and are extremely evil."
Just as the words of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal fell, the tentacles twisted towards them, all of which were lined with barbs.
The colorful glow from the barbs was quite pleasing to the leader’s eyes, even causing a hint of enchantment, while beautiful songs emerged from the light.
The leader was awestruck by the vastness of the cosmos, filled with countless strange and peculiar abilities expanding his perspective.
At this point, those tentacles had reached in front of the leader, who continuously flashed to avoid them, engaging in a half-tea-time period of active and defensive maneuvers.
The leader discovered it felt like the tentacles were attached to his body; no matter how quickly he flashed, once he paused, the enemy could attack immediately.
Clearly aware of the continuous consumption ahead, the leader exercised the Time Law, only to find that the entity seemed immune to laws.
The leader immediately summoned his weapon and began battling the surrounding tentacles; despite their hardness, even his treasured sword couldn’t harm them.
The rocks sprayed flames, cooperating with the leader, and in the blink of an eye, everything was engulfed in a sea of fire.
The overpowering flames obscured Clone Nine’s vision, while he struggled to locate the foe, gradually realizing how the enemy could quickly sense him.
With a wave of his hands, the leader condensed over a dozen huge fireballs around him, causing these fireballs to continuously spin before Clone Nine.
Due to his massive size, Clone Nine found it difficult to move and was disoriented by the spinning fireballs, cursing the leader’s deceit as he closed his eyes.
When he reopened his eyes, the fireballs had vanished, and the leader was nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be that this guy actually fled? That can’t be. If he ran, he’d never be able to raise his head in the cosmos again."
Clone Nine refused to believe the leader had run away.
Then, a sudden realization hit him as he noticed the whole planet gradually cracking and reverting to its previous explosive state; instantly, he realized the leader had reached the planet somehow.
He exercised the Time Law to reverse the planet’s condition.
With a shock, he understood that if the extraterrestrial demon couldn’t handle the opponent, he would indeed be at the end of his tether.
During his stunned moment, the leader had already appeared before him, waving his fingers as strange talismans manifested around Clone Nine.
When Clone Nine tried to retaliate, the talismans merely bound him, and countless human faces formed eerie shadows, screaming in servitude.
The leader let out a cold chuckle, quickly withdrawing from beyond the planet, and utilized the Time Law to close the planet again.
Once the planet closed.
Everything returned to quietude, after a long silence, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal inquired whether the leader had taken care of the opponent.
He was somewhat skeptical, as Clone Nine was notably formidable, and never had any clone managed to push the leader to such an extent.
Yet the leader showed no joy, shaking his head to refute the Nine Dragon Jade Seal’s conjecture.
"I’ve successfully sealed the guy, but I’m afraid it won’t be long before he breaks through."
"And I believe the Nether Tree will surely come to rescue him, but now we can’t worry about that."
The leader’s sole focus was saving Zuo Xiaoluo.
After ensuring there were no issues around them, he turned into golden light and continued onwards; as he left the planet.
Green sparks emerged from the planet, gradually coalescing into a handsome young man in his twenties.
The young man gazed into the distance, muttering to himself.
"I never imagined he could achieve such a feat. If given more time, I might have perished here."
"Luckily, he was eager to save his woman, giving me a chance to evade disaster; though it’s uncertain if he can escape this time."
Clone Nine smirked coldly; for him, he had deftly completed his mission this time.
Moreover, he gained further insight into the leader’s capabilities, confident that during their next encounter.
He would be able to kill this guy.
The leader was completely unaware that Clone Nine had already escaped, preoccupied with how to face the protagonist upon meeting him.
Given the opponent’s Prohibition Law, a particularly troublesome thing, and currently, he lacked any weaponry to counteract it.
Heavy-hearted, the leader pressed on, when the Nine Dragon Jade Seal interjected.
"Master, it seems we’ve lost our way in the cosmos; do pause and take a look."
Discovering this surprised the leader, leaving him rather shocked.
The Law Cosmos was boundless; unless one intentionally returned while advancing, they would certainly never pass the same spot twice.
However, upon stopping for a close inspection, the leader realized they indeed had visited this place before.
Surrounded by five small blue planets.
Yet, the brilliance was extraordinarily beautiful, prompting exalted remarks from the leader upon passing, etching deep memories.
The leader’s mind cleared entirely as a murderous intent emanated from the planets.
"Looks like not only are we lost, but we also fell into the opponent’s trap."
"Protagonist, you vile beast, having set a trap, why not appear for a decisive battle?"
The leader shouted into the vast cosmos, his voice spreading outward.
Applause sounded from behind the leader.
"As expected of the leader, quickly detecting the trap and identifying me as the culprit."
Currently, the protagonist exuded confidence, smiling, dismissing the leader entirely.
In his view, all preparations were complete, this time definitely capable of killing the leader.
"Previously, I assumed it was you who called the clone, but now it seems it was the Nether Tree who did, discovering your trap setup."
"Also noticing your limited time, hence dispatching Clone Nine to stall, indeed, you folks are quite ruthless."
