Chapter 1009: Trouble

Faced with this enemy that was likely the most powerful hed ever gone up against, since he knew nothing of Guan Zhenyans actual strength, Sage gave up on his plan to mask his capabilities. Hed intended to only show off his Infernal Qi and attempt to keep a clear separation between this persona and his prior identity as the Dream Dealers agent, but now those reservations were thrown out the window. He didnt want to give away his identity, but survival came first. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

A powerful Spiritual Sense smashed up against him. He kept his own Spirit Sense close to his body, using it to give him a little early warning system and a sense of his surroundings but keeping it dense and thick so he wouldnt be vulnerable to attack. It was like having a set of earplugs or dark glasses on. It would keep him from being suddenly blinded or deafened by bright sounds or noises without being completely blind or deaf. Even so, he still felt an impact and pulled his Spirit Sense back into his body. The pressure was so great that this new enemy could probably injure his Spirit Sense in just a few minutes. He was also glad that the Psionic Crystals had been put to use to unlock Spirit techniques. One of them theyd stumbled upon was a method of leaving a mental mark on a person and the best way to defend against it was to keep the Spirit Sense just beneath the skin.

It was something hed never known would be a problem, but for situations like these if hed fully retracted his Spirit Sense back into his head, then it would leave him vulnerable to being marked by his enemy. For Spirit Sense to penetrate into his body, it would lose a lot of its energy which acted as a natural defense. By keeping his own Spirit Sense just beneath the skin he could sense if the enemy tried to attach anything to him, while also getting the layer of skin to use as a bulwark. It was like manning the city walls rather than sending out the troops to fight in an open field or retreating to hide within a castle or keep. It was a good thing too, as Sage soon felt an attack of this nature.

The barrier as well as the dark smoke within it was blasted away, revealing the occupant of the Flaming Chariot. Only, this time the smashed metal armor was replaced by a quilted silken armor. The black suit covered him from head to toe, with even the small slit over his eyes being covered by a small piece of smoky Gemsteel. Then just as he appeared, he split into nine. Nine people wearing the same armor, each of them taking a step back and appearing out of thin air. They took off on different trajectories away from the enemy that had attacked them. Up, down, left, right and many in between, each of them riding a Flying Tool.

These Flying Tools were shaped like the wings of an airplane without the fuselage. The space at the center of the wings was elongated, creating a place for a Cultivator to stand or lie down. The wing shape could provide lift, but it couldnt be relied upon as the only method of flight like on Earth. Laws related to wind, or even variances in the energy of the Heavens and Earth were able to affect how much lift a wing could create. This was why they still used airships rather than using the Steam Engines to create airplanes. Instead, they used wings to improve Flying Tools. The Flying Tool had formations to allow it to fly and the shape of the wings could add lift which allowed the Flying Tool to use more energy on propulsion speed. When it was affected by adverse conditions that altered the lift that wings provided it still had the flight formations to rely upon. It had become the most common style of Flying Tool on the Inner World, just like how boat shapes were the most common on the outside world.

After the eight copies flew off in different directions, the new enemy swept towards them. A sphere of water surrounded this new person and it rolled off the top of the huge water column surrounding the Spire, gaining speed as it swept downwards. With the deep waters swapped for a small sphere, he could finally take a good look at the person coming for him. The middle-aged man had a savage appearance to him, wearing a robe that looked to be made from dark blue fish scales and hides with slits up the sides to show he had a pair of trousers underneath. His legs were spread wide to balance him upon the water he was surfing after Sage upon. His hairstyle was even more distinctive, short spikes that were all swept backwards. His hair was the color of silver, yet somehow each of the short spikes was tipped with blue. His eyes were black, without any white at all, which gave him a terrifying look, especially given how fast he was closing in.
