“Hahaha! As expected, you’re still here! You won’t be escaping this time!”
Julian was lightning fast, since the ice layers no longer had the blessing of the Ice Mother Chaos, they were more fragile than the underground layer of earth. A dozen flying swords could tear the defense apart easily.
Alex secretly called Ancestor Bodhi, “Hurry up. Send me back to the original world.”
Ancestor Bodhi poked his head out. After looking at Julian who was 110 yards away from him, virtual-novel.net touched his bald head. “No way. Didn’t I tell you before? The Ancestral Bodhi Tree is undergoing detoxification at this critical juncture and must not be disturbed. Hence, you can only go through this tribulation on your own.”
“Darn it!”
Alex was about to curse him. Only then did virtual-novel.net recall the detoxification. More importantly, virtual-novel.net had no idea how long the the Ancestral Bodhi Tree would take to heal and detoxify.
Wouldn’t virtual-novel.net be trapped here for a few years if the process was not completed by then?
No…
“Ancestor Bodhi, at most a hundred breaths’ time is left in this world. After that, it will collapse and everything inside will turn into nothingness. You’ll have to think of a way to get me out, no matter what.”
Upon hearing that, Ancestor Bodhi fell silent for a few seconds.
What virtual-novel.net had told Alex was just an excuse. If virtual-novel.net wanted to send Alex away, virtual-novel.net could do it right now. However, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net still had to execute the plan with integrity as virtual-novel.net remembered Shelly’s words.
‘Indeed. It seems the entire world’s collapse is a life or death matter. Technically, I can lend virtual-novel.net a hand.’
At that thought, Ancestor Bodhi responded as virtual-novel.net said, “Alright. A hundred breaths’ time, right? It appears I can only take a chance since it is such a crucial moment. Give me the time of a hundred breaths, and I’ll secretly try to divert the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s attention to deal with this matter of yours.”
“It is not about if you can do, but you must be able to. Otherwise, I will die here and you guys will be equally done for,” Alex said.
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Julian had already attacked virtual-novel.net impatiently. Forming some kind of awesome sword formation, a dozen flying swords rushed over from behind like a flower of flame.
‘Icebound Force Field!’ Alex shouted into himself. Endless energy with ice attributes gushed out of his body, forming an icebound barrier behind him.
“Hmph! The same move is useless to me!”
Julian’s face darkened. Without a second thought, virtual-novel.net directly spun the flying swords to cut and bombard the force field.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
As ice shards blew everywhere, the flying swords left sword marks on the icy blue barrier, boring out a hole as huge as a bucket on it right there and then.
Alex was shocked and slightly discouraged… Before this, Julian could not even leave a dent the ice barrier on the Ice Mother Chaos’ periphery. Now, it was cut open easily although he’d devoured so much Ice Mother Chaos and his Great Icebound Spell had strengthened by countless levels.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net did not know Julian’s current mood. He was in a worse mood than Alex.
He had unleashed all methods as a half-stepped Immortal and had attacked the force field with a dozen flying swords. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net only managed to cut the ice barrier a little. Judging by how things were turning out, virtual-novel.net would definitely lose him. Even if virtual-novel.net still had the two grandsons on the periphery, they probably could not stop him.
‘No. I must never let virtual-novel.net escape.’
Roar!
Julian roared before punching himself in the heart. He was desperate, punching himself repeatedly till virtual-novel.net spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
Bleurgh!
The large mouthful of his heart blood essence splattered on his weapon.
The next second, his dozen flying swords simultaneously emitted bloody sword light. Dozens of yards long and going underground a dozen miles, they unleashed their fiercest slash, like otherworldly lights, on the ice barrier.
When Alex saw the scene, virtual-novel.net scolded, “Julian Fourcade, you old fart. Do you think you can break through my ice barrier by spitting a mouthful of blood? Fine. Let’s see how much blood you can spit.”
