Chapter 793: Fierce Warning

The multi-colored gas sunk into the Peak Masters body through his skin, but its effects were mild enough that the Peak Master was barely impeded. Surrounded as he was by the multi-colored gas and in the middle of a fierce fight, it took him a few seconds before he noticed that his senses had grown weaker and his body was rapidly bleeding energy. The problem was that at their level, a few seconds was enough for a dozen exchanges to happen, Sages arms were swinging rapidly to attack with those sword length blades extending from his wrists. At the same time the Peak Master was forming a symbol with his hands and fingers and focusing intently on controlling the blue lotus petals that he was using to deflect Sages attacks.

Sage couldnt get any closer because of the spinning lotus blades, but the Peak Master was also trapped in place by the Winter Lotus flowers that Sage had placed in a large dome around him. The Peak Master used a giant lotus shaped fire to simultaneously fend off Sages attacks, while also trying to chop a way out of this trap. In the meantime he was being subjected to Sages poison. This poison which he called Nightmare Garden was the combination of Killer Garden, the pink gas he could transfer through plants, and Paradise Nightmare that he used to block vision and sweat his enemies. After embracing his attrition tactics the researchers tried many different formulations until coming to this current iteration.

At this time, the Peak Master was feeling the increasingly debilitating effects of the Nightmare Garden. In actual truth, this poison didnt actually harm his enemies directly, it merely weakened ones senses, making the light seem dimmer, the sounds quieter, smells and tastes to be less intense, and the body to grow slightly numb. At the same time it had the miraculous effect of making a Cultivator start to sweat out their own Qi. This Qi bled out into the air and mixed with the strange multi-colored gas. While within the gas the Qi that a Cultivator drew into their body was muddled and became many times harder to process. This meant that recovering ones Qi while within the Nightmare Garden gas became much more difficult. Even for the Peak Master that was a Nascent Soul, his body was still drawing in Qi constantly to replenish his reserves, but while within this poison the amount he recovered was greatly reduced. He had to keep feeding the blue flames he was using to fight against Sage with so his Qi expenditure remained high, while his recovery rate was suddenly hindered. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

The flaming lotus that had been drilling into his crossed blades was forced to spread its petals wide once more to form a shield against the wide cone of fire that was rushing towards the Peak Master. The other fiery lotus that had been assaulting the wall had swept back over to his body, where he crouched down and the lotus petals spread out and fell over him like an overturned bowl. One of these smaller defensive lotuses spun around him, deflecting the seeds that were bombarding him from every direction, while the other was spread wide like an umbrella to divert the flow of the Samsara Flame away.

After a whole second of intense flame, the quick release of the Divine Breath technique was expended and the orange flames lost their intense propulsion. A few wisps of orange fire dripped from his lips with an almost liquid like grace as it spilled down to leave a sear on the floor. Then the green blades disappeared from his wrists, absorbed back into the armor like aura around his body. The seed pods continued to attack the Peak Master, but they were blocked by the bowl of energy around him. At the same time the other lotus was no longer blocking any flames so it spun beautifully in the air all on its own. Sage was standing in a low stance to brace his arms together, but at this time he brought his feet together and then spread his stance wide, leaning forward to bring his whole torso in line with the Peak Master.

The sapphire lotus tightened its petals and shot towards Sage like a giant bullet, aiming to strike at him while he was busy changing stance. Sage wasnt going to give it time to build momentum and his jaw fell open so far that it had to have unhinged. He released an even bigger torrent of orange flames than the last time, but the sapphire bullet darted to the side to avoid the most dense portion of Sages attack. It burst through the orange flames and swung around the side to dart toward Sages body. Unfortunately, for the Peak Master, a large silvery frame jumped in front of the fiery attack and wrapped its arms around it. The Blacksilver Knight had recovered and jumped in the way to stop the attack just before it was going to hit his body. Of course, even without the Blacksilver Knight it would have still had to break through Sages Jade Mantle technique.

Another torrent of Samsara Flame bathed the Peak Master, locking him in place.
