Endlessly astonished, the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel frowned heavily, gloomy, and darkly. These mortals were highly irregular existences, far beyond his conceptual understanding of Mortal Limits. Simply the fact they could fight against him, albeit doing no damage, was beyond surprising to experience.
No wonder the two other Evil Sentinels suffered death at the hands of these mortals. Scoffing through his nose, the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel emanated Illuminating Gold World Intent to his maximal extent. The entire world was an ocean of golden light save for areas that had beams of continuously pulsing solar light from above, segregating each Ascendant from the worldly radiance.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the entire Evercrown Ceremony's vast lands were under his control, seized and converted by his ungodly oppressive World Intent.
Na Xinyi floated tens of hundreds of miles away, surrounded by cascading solar yin light and with a body ceaselessly undulating Yin Intent infused with a worldly strength emanating from a black rune emitting a yin chill within her Sea of Consciousness!
The black rune was named the Supreme Yin Rune. Its name was rather simple, yet it was one of the rarest World Runes in existence, only capable of being obtained through special recognition of the heavens. This recognition could only be simulated by beings of exceptional strength, beyond the Mystic Ascendant Realm, or through special phenomena such as the True Worldly Recognition!
Na Xinyi's indescribably profound Yin Power that could baffle an Earthly Saint who grasped genuine Mystic Heart Intent largely originated from the profundities contained within this very World Rune!
Supreme Yin infused with Extreme Yin!
Despite the entire world being engulfed by golden light, her brilliance was visible to the entire world. Her exquisite and exceptional body and beauty grasped the world's attention. Gasps of shock unnaturally pierced through howls of agony and fear, eyes sparkling as they reflected the boundlessly alluring yin light in the sky.
Na Xinyi's Extreme Yin Solar Star shined so brightly that it suppressed the solar light emissions of dozens of other Solar Stars in the sky, becoming the principal Solar Star among the others. She brandished her white sword in the air, her movements light and airy, yet it carried a domineering ferocity that was unmatched. Her grey eyes flaring with yin light was as murderous as a vengeful spirit, intending to slay the world itself if need be to reach her target.
The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel stared at Na Xinyi briefly. She was exuding a combination of a World Rune Seed and a World Heart Intent within the Mortal Realms. If this was in the World Beyond, this would be a sign of an absolute genius of the highest order, one of the few rarities of a mortal being able to slay cultivators a few stages beyond them. Given her World-Bound Star Domain's size and abundantly provided power, she could fight and kill Earthly Saints by paying a cost.
This was what the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel thought. And this was the reality of the situation. The concept was terrifying to consider, her cultivation foundation absurd to a limit alongside her profound bodily talent, but to him, someone with genuine Mystic World Intent, albeit he didn't have a Worldly Saint cultivation base, was an insurmountable obstacle.
Why?
Because he was not simply a hammer reinforced with gold! He was a cultivator! He palmed the sky with his right hand. Instantly, the world grew dim as the sky as a gigantic sky-covering, golden hand engulfed the world. If one looked up, they could even see the coarse lines of his palm.
The dozens upon dozens of Ascendants all reeled; they were unable to properly communicate with their World-Bound Star Domains! They couldn't even recall them!
Na Xinyi's pulsating yin light that seemed capable of toppling heaven and earth grew significantly dimmer, lighter, and weaker. Her eyes widened as her head snapped towards the sky. All her profound powers mattered little if she couldn't gather the energy to launch an assault at the appropriate level! And that energy originated from her World-Bound Solar Star!
She gritted her teeth as she tapped into her Extreme Yin Star Core. Na Xinyi's Star Core was not lacking in reserves of energy, but the needed amount to empower that Mortal World Intent of hers was utterly enormous.
"Two moves," she calculated her exact limits within a moment. She had two moves backed by her Mortal World Intent formed by the Supreme Yin World Rune Seed and her Yin Heart Intent. Signs of tiny, developing fissures appeared on the edges of her eyes and fingers, cracks on her skin formed and tiny droplets of blood dripped.
Her Nine-Point Yin Physique was exquisite, brought to the limits of the Mortal Dao, but this power exceeded that limit by no small margin! She was no different than Wu Baozhai at the moment, drawing strength far beyond her limits, and suffering backlash from it!
Moreover, the golden ocean seethed as it passively tried to engulf and consume the Ascendants. Whether it was Xue Yifei, Wu Baozhai, Bei Weiwei, or Bo Kay, they were all forced to handle the incoming threat by using their own starforce. The depletion of power was severe. Yet the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel needn't lift a single finger, simply exert his Illuminating Gold World Intent and the ambient world's forces.
"I'm yours?" With a mocking sneer, the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel asked with a smile. Such a bold declaration was not the words any mortal should say to him! "Then, come."
Na Xinyi's gaze was serene to an unholy extreme. Within the depths of her pupils was a glint of unfettered, indescribable, unimaginable killing intent that could sunder the earth, sky, and heavens with a single glance.
At this moment, all eyes were on her. Be it the Overseers, Wei Wuyin, the Ascendants, or the Chosen from two worlds, her brilliance couldn't be missed.
"One move," she declared as she took a step forward, the golden sea rippling violently by her single footstep!
Tian Yinwu was surrounded by a translucent barrier of crystalline light. The barrier pushed away the golden ocean of energy, preventing even a speck from entering. He observed through it to find the exceptional figure of Na Xinyi hovering, surrounded by a slaughtering golden sea, facing down the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel whose power reached the limits that barely touched upon his royal father's true, hidden strength.
Can Na Xinyi actually fight against this power? With a single move, he severed her strongest trump card! His heart was somewhat rapidly beating as he touched the hilt of his sword. Should he interfere? Together, he was roughly 93% certain they could kill the Evil Sentinel, and 100% certain of defeating him.
However, he frowned. The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel seemed off... somehow. It felt as if he was about to do something else.
Wei Wuyin was also watching and he lightly sighed.
Since the beginning, the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel had been gathering his strength, converting all of the world's ambient power to its literal limits, and readying his Cultivation Base to fully circulate in ways that tapped into his absolute everything.
His target? Wei Wuyin could faintly feel the mental fluctuations of keenly guised killing intent honed onto his body. The urge to laugh was held in his chest. Wei Wuyin thoughtfully realized that this decision of the Evil Sentinel was going to cost him his life, and it was why the Ascendants could even last so long without relying on all their trump cards.
Na Xinyi was not a simple mortal you fought with just a portion of your strength.
"Die!" Na Xinyi coldly declared. Her sword jetted forth with a swing!
"Die!" The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel roared. The golden sea and his Illuminating Gold Mystic Power blasted in a concentrated beam of brilliant, blinding light that pierced through the three-dimensional layers of space, stabbing at Wei Wuyin with speeds that were unimaginable! It greatly surpassed light itself!
The others watching were taken aback. Who was he attacking? They couldn't help but be stunned as the beam ripped through the fabric of the world like a heaven-sundering shuttle weaving through as if bent on its destruction.
"Haha," Wei Wuyin chuckled helplessly as Draconic Void Force pulsed, concealing his existence into the Void. His body grew transparent, similar to Bei Yinyin's treasure effect, and he quietly watched with his hands behind his back, and his eyes shining with silver light. The beam of golden brilliance swallowed him whole, eviscerating the mountain peak he stood on!
The beam kept going until it reached the limits of the realm, only stopped by the innate formations of the realm.
The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel's eyes brightened excitedly. Suddenly, he felt a severe sensation of deadly crisis clash against his instincts.
"I know it's you!" He didn't hesitate to use the tiniest bit of reserve power to guard against that indescribably fast arrow! He lifted his arms. Two talismanic-like Mystic Runes brightly lit on the back of both hands. A globe of dense mystic power enveloped his body, guarding him from all incoming objects from all three dimensions of space.
BOOM!
The arrow pierced into the globe. Unfortunately, it only entered a few inches, barely piercing into the body of the golden-bodied Evil Sentinel. It was aimed at his torso!
From the very beginning of his descent, he had been expecting that arrow! The marble-skinned Evil Sentinel had died mostly because she hadn't guarded against the three dimensions of space, and this arrow existed on all three layers at once. Even if you guard against a single layer's assault, you'll still be hit!
It was a profound arrow with unique spatial properties.
"You think you can kill me with that?!" The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel gloated. Despite channeling all his power to rid himself of that silver-eyed overseer, he had long since made preparations against that archer!
Yao Huoyi was quietly hovering in the golden sea. His bow had one less etching of an arrow. "It wasn't meant to-"
-WHOOSH!
A slicing howl pierced through the golden sea. The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel's eyes bulged as he sensed a piercing light soar toward him with lethal Intent. He knew it was that woman, but he didn't consider her a threat even with her Mortal World Intent!
He had already made defensive preparations, so he simply allowed them to remain active. Not even that arrow could get through, so how could that sword?
He felt an icy chill from his neck. It was sinister and grim.
The golden-bodied Evil Sentinel's bulging eyes instantly grew dim as the life faded from them. His head slowly dropped from his shoulders, golden blood gushed out to the sky, and rained down upon the vast lands!
