Lei Yuting and Ye Lin frantically launched attacks on the celestial eye in a desperate attempt to free Zhuo Fan, but their efforts yielded no results. Soon, the others joined in, delivering a relentless assault under the amused and cocky gaze of Heavenly Sovereign.
To Heavenly Sovereign, these individuals were inconsequential, mere pawns in the grand scheme. In his eyes, Zhuo Fan was the sole variable capable of altering the course of events. With Zhuo Fan incapacitated, nothing stood in the way of Heavenly Sovereign reshaping the world to reflect his perfect and pure vision.
Even as he felt a shudder run through him upon sensing the fading Heavenly Eye, it didnt perturb him; instead, he anticipated it. Turning his gaze towards Zhuo Fan, he observed the darker aura enveloping him, approaching but still distant from Heavenly Sovereigns own. This moment had been eagerly awaited, offering a glimpse into Zhuo Fans progress in fusing the paths. Fortunately for Heavenly Sovereign, Zhuo Fan remained far from reaching his level. [Now that all the cards are on the table, theres no point in holding back and wasting time.]
With a sly smirk, Heavenly Sovereign remarked, Little brother, I was wondering why there was not a trace of fused paths on you, even after holding so many. But now I see it was a ruse to let my guard down. A shame it didnt work.
Zhuo Fan, panting as he distanced himself, wrestled to suppress the surging dark power resulting from the tentative fusion of the four paths he possessed. Although this option presented itself, he hesitated to embrace it fully. For him, this didnt feel like the right path to attain the Supreme Stagea mere forceful ascent to power. Zhuo Fan knew well the perils of wielding power beyond comprehension, having narrowly escaped the consequences of overusing the black thunderflame in a previous battle with Sea Ao.
Despite the crisis, he had no alternative. To withstand the onslaught of the Heavenly Eye, he needed a power boost, even if it meant tapping into the fused paths. Yet, he refrained from going all the way, returning the paths to their natural state.
Not even you can deny its upside. It kept me alive against you, didnt it? Heavenly Sovereign smirked and targeted Lei Yuting once more.
He may reset his state to before the attack, but wont know what happened. This time, use the same attack twice in a row! Zhuo Fan sent.
The others swiftly coordinated their attacks, unleashing another dark assault on Heavenly Sovereign, reducing him to the same desperate state as before. This time, they didnt wait for him to recover, following up with the same attack, hoping to vanquish him once and for all.
Heavenly Sovereign scoffed, The same trick wont work on me twice, little brother, even if I might not recall it. I thought you knew that. Utilizing Child Sovereigns elusive movements, he effortlessly evaded the second attack, reappearing unscathed.
Cant blame me for trying, can you? Zhuo Fan shrugged, well aware of the futility from the outset.
While I certainly cant, it doesnt mean Ill let you go unpunished. Heavenly Sovereign flared his aura to the extreme, his entire body adorned with lacerations as blood spilled, though nothing a state reset could not mend.
Observing everyone, from the sacred beasts to the Sovereigns and Zhuo Fan, thrown off balance, Heavenly Sovereign nonchalantly chose Murong Xue, utilizing Blink to pluck her from the midst.
Its time I end this charade, starting with you! Your sanctimonious aura is getting on my nerves, Heavenly Sovereign declared, his hand closing around her throat, rendering her struggles futile against his deadly grip.
