Chapter 526 - Jerico’s Wall
The dark red sword and bone sword in the Cultivator's hands moved with a speed and momentum that could sunder the sky.
Despite the immense power of her soul and spells, the woman's body was not impressive, and her physical defenses were mediocre at best. The previous attacks left her exhausted, and her energy defenses were no longer active.
In less than a millisecond, the swords destroyed the Divine Legend's heart and lungs before cutting off her legs and arms.
Lastly, the bone sword and dark red sword intertwined, separating the Divine Legend's head from the rest of the body.
Heinz's eyes glowed as the dark red sword's flaming soul force grew more vigorous. He prepared to give the final blow and destroy the woman's Inner Law Dimension and shatter her True Soul.
Unfortunately, right before his attack, the woman's fragmented body exploded, unleashing a blast of ice power that froze the Cultivator.
A golden sphere with a blue humanoid figure inside emerged from the ice explosion and flashed away with a tremendous speed.
A layer of ice covered the Sky Breaker's body, and there was nothing he could do while the Divine Legend's True Soul escaped.
Although he wanted to chase after the Divine Legend and finish the job, Ice Essence infected him, making high-speed movement extremely hard, not to mention that using the Ancient Oblivion Eyes put tremendous pressure over his soul and body.
'I guess this is the best we can do with our current... WHAT!' Heinz's thoughts were interrupted when he felt a burst of energy appear not too far away from him. More specifically, right above the golden sphere that contained the Divine Legend's True Soul.
Heinz saw how Gwyn appeared in the sky thanks to his powerful eyes, and the Eye Holder was not alone as there were four more individuals around him.
However, the other four were exact replicas of the Holy Son, and to the Sky Breaker's surprise, the Ancient Oblivion Eyes showed him how the power of each one was equal.
Their souls, bodies, and energies unleashed a force that was the same the Holy Son displayed when he went all out during their last fight. The only difference was that their laws diverged.
The five Holy Son descended from the sky with a monstrous force, and as they rotated, their power fused into a single pillar of energy that seemed capable of piercing straight through a continent.
Panic and terror filled the Divine Legend's True Soul as the pillar clashed against the golden sphere. The artifact should have been able to resist a Supernova Domain Stage full-power spell, but it endured less than two seconds before shattering.
Without any protection, the Divine Legend's True Soul end was obvious. Gwyn's attack carried such might that nothing but blue particles remained of the woman's soul.
After killing the Divine Legend, the incarnations fused back into Gwyn's body. Despite the pillar of energy vanishing, the Holy Son continued falling.
Those with a high enough perception could see Gwyn's eyes and ears bleeding and understood that the Holy Son had fallen unconscious. That ability he just used, while highly potent, carried a huge cost.
A Divine Legend at the Early Primary Sun Domain Stage saw the unconscious Holy Sun, and his eyes glowed.
Without hesitation, the Divine Legend burned his life force, allowing him to push his current opponent away before flashing toward Gwyn.
The Magi and Eye Holders saw how the Holy Son's life was in danger, but then without a sign, the Divine Legend's fierce eyes lost their light, and he began to fall from the sky like a puppet with cut strings.
Surprise and confusion appeared on both sides when they saw the hole in the back of the Divine Legend's head. It was only when they truly focused on the area around Gwyn that they noticed a man whose presence even their powerful consciousnesses could not detect.
The man was bald and with a square face. His colorless bloodline eyes drew most people's attention since their aura surpassed that of any Emperor Bloodline.
Haki put his hand over Gwyn's unconscious body, and the next instant, the two vanished.
As he saw them disappear, Heinz's eyes narrowed. The newcomer's battle power was not impressive and would not be a threat in an open battle, but his assassination skills were magnificent.
Unless the difference between their raw power being more than an entire Rank, the Cultivator did not think he would come unscratched if that man attempted to kill him.
Heinz thought about that as a giant dragon appeared behind him and swallowed him whole. The next second, he found himself in a pool of green plasma made of Fire and Lightning Essences.
The Law of Fire and the Law of Lightning, while highly destructive, were also able to display powerful healing abilities, and those were the ones acting over the Cultivator's body and soul right now.
Beyond Prima Omega Arts require massive amounts of energy and soul force to be deployed, not to mention they submit the body to enormous stress.
There are special ones like the Absolute Unity Omega Law that creates a domain from which you can channel energy, allowing the user to maintain them almost indefinitely.
Of course, these types of Beyond Prima Omega Arts still generate immense pressure on the soul and body, so your centers of power must always be at least a Rank above your cultivation level. Besides, the level of comprehension needed is much higher.
Once Kylo swallowed Heinz and sent him into his stomach, he turned around and flew away from the battlefield.
After deactivating their Bloodline Apocalyptic Metamorphoses, the rest of the Sky Breakers move away from the area where Supernova Domain Stage existences fought and head to battle with those at the Hollow Sun Domain Stage.
They were exhausted, but since none of them used their Omega Laws, they were still more than capable of fighting weak Rank 6 life forms.
After the death of the Late Supernova Divine Legend, the person in the archbishop's robe turned toward the Sky Breakers for a second, but before he could do anything, the Astral Fiend attacked again.
Although Roku found it impossible to figure out what crossed his silent opponent's mind, he would not allow them to interfere with the battle between the two armies.
The death toll rose as the hours passed, and before anyone noticed, the Magi Divine Slayer Force and Divinity Faith Army battled for three entire days.
Broken bodies and shattered souls filled the sky and the ground. It was hard to say the exact number of casualties on both sides, but the Magi Divine Slayer Force lost four percent of its warriors.
That meant that millions of Magi World's life forms whose life span measured in the dozens of thousands of years perished in the lapse of seventy-two hours!
Of course, that was nothing compared with the Divine Faith Army fatalities since they lost nine percent of their Legendary Beings!
The passage of time only made the disparity between the two forces grow larger and larger, with more and more Divine Legends either losing their bodies or right away perishing.
Despite seeing Legendary Beings perish one after the other, the Divine Champion showed not even the slightest concern and continued battling against the Astral Fiend.
However, the exact moment the Divine Faith Army casualties reached ten percent, the Divine Champion's energy burst and sent hundreds of golden strings that wrapped themselves around Roku.
They were extremely thin, but the Astral Fiend was surprised to find how resilient they were, and it would take him a moment to get rid of them.
The Supernova Domain Stage existences from the Magi World frowned when they saw that since the person in the archbishop's robes was an extremely fearsome foe who could do a lot of damage in an instant.
Luckily, the Divine Champion had another plan. They took out six drops of golden blood before clasping their hands and speaking in an androgynous voice.
"?Jerico's Wall!"
Those words echoed through the battlefield, and the golden blood exploded.
Holy energy overflowed the continents as a giant golden wall that pierced the ground and reached the highest sky manifested itself a few hundred meters behind the battlefield.
Without hesitation or even hearing a single command, all the Legendary Beings left their fight and flew away. Even those who were just a second away from killing their enemy did the same.
The apparition of Jerico's Wall was a divine order, and they needed to obey it, regardless of their desires.
The Legendary Beings crossed through the golden wall as if this was nothing but an optical illusion. Still, when a? Supernova Domain Stage Magus sent a spell that resembled a meteorite the size of a moon toward it, the attack failed even to make an indentation.
"AHHHHH!" Roku roared as a blast of red aura with blue matrices emerged from him, freeing himself from the golden strings.
When they saw the Astral Fiend freeing himself and marching toward them, the Divine Champion acted like always, emotionless and indifferent.
They sent hundreds of swords made of holy light to block the Astral Fiend, and only when the last living member of the Divine Faith Army crossed the golden wall did they also escape.
"?BOOOM!"
Right after the Divine Champion crossed the wall, Roku reached it and fired a punch with so much strength and force that the Transitional Plane's laws began to converge on him.
"CRACK!"
The Astral Fiend's punch made huge cracks appear in the golden wall, but it only harmed the surface, and soon they began to heal.
Roku's eyes narrowed when he saw how resilient Jerico's Wall was. He took a deep breath, calmed his raging energy, and analyzed the golden wall before speaking to the Magi Divine Slayer Force.
"This wall will last seven months.. During that time, we will build our headquarters and fortify the border."
