Chapter 991: Main Event

While everyone on the plateau radiated the same power as a Nascent Soul, the battle itself showed how much variation existed among those in the same rank. Those with a lesser understanding of laws were equivalent to a lower stage in the Nascent Soul realm and that difference became much more clear when they faced off against Chu Shuai, who was in the later stages of Nascent Soul. Some of the Purple Mist Sect members seemed to be outmatched and were on the losing side of their individual clashes, but for the most part, the advantages of their poison and powerful beast bodys gave them an edge in the battles.

At the center of the plateau, the golden eyed man was giving Chu Shuai a much more difficult fight. The singular Chu Shuai had split into six, and six times the flaming red chains were writhing and flailing rapidly. Opposite him, the man with golden eyes was flawlessly dodging the hundreds of rapid fire attacks, and reaching up to slap away some of them with the thorns wrapped around his arm. With so many attacks raining down upon him there was no way he could possibly dodge them all, as they could attack from every direction at the same time. Instead, he somehow moved into the place where the lowest density of attacks was, then twisted his body so that the movement of his right arm could intercept the rest of the flaming chains with the black vine that was wrapped around him.

The storm of flaming chains created a vicious storm of attacks that smashed against the rocky ground of the plateau, sending a thick cloud of dust into the air. The fiery chains didnt strike extremely hard, but they burned extremely hot and the sheer number of attacks smacking into the ground was smashing the stones into tiny gravel. The battle had progressed rapidly to this state, Chu Shuai could tell he was outmatched from the start and hed created another clone. Yet, that wasnt enough and hed made another, then another. Now that it was six against one, Chu Shuai was finally pushing the golden eyed man back. Another copy of his appeared and the storm of attacks finally started to batter the field of green energy that sheathed the golden eyed mans body.

There was a series of Formation Arrays set up around this plateau intended to trap Chu Shuai if he tried to flee, but Sage had no idea exactly how many of these clones the man could make. If clones ran in every direction at once it would become quite difficult to stop them all at the same time. Sage could release the rest of the Purple Mist Sect, but there was a limit to their number. What if Chu Shuai could split into forty as well? What if he could make double or triple that number of clones? If revealing his venom encouraged Chu Shuai to group his clones tightly together then it was worth it.

While Chu Shuai was regrouping, Sage was also preparing. The black vine around his arm suddenly lit up with bright blue spots. Tiny dots climbing down the length of it adding more color than just the sharply curved purple thorns. The blue dots continued to expand into flower buds just slightly smaller than the thorns. Across from him the eight Chu Shuais had moved to stand back to back and the fiery chains coming from behind them had started to wrap and weave together. A chain from each of them connected together making each of the fiery strands a rope made of eight strands. The hundreds of chains had now become dozens, but each of them were eight times tougher. Sage was immediately suspicious because the eight clones had now tightly linked themselves together, which would reduce their agility. Why couldnt each clone just layer their own chains together?

Then, they started to attack again and Sage realized the difference. The chains werent just tougher, they carried the strength of all eight clones at the same time. Linking together made them able to share their strength like a few of the formations that Sage had used for his own subordinates. This combination of power was enough to counteract the move that Sage had just used. The blue buds started to grow as they absorbed heat from the fiery chains that Chu Shuai was swinging at him. Hundreds of Winter Lotuses had spread out along the length of the black vine in his hands, leeching heat to reduce the strength of the chains. Even so, he was being pushed back again, having to keep putting distance between them to reduce the pressure from the storm of flailing chains. The methods the two of them used put Sage once again at a disadvantage.
