Mind Universe Ruler
“I don’t want to kill you. I will make Cheng Yan pay for his treachery after I take you captive, though. Your life is our capital.” Yu Mo showed up behind Mu Yu, arm extended.
“We don’t owe anyone any explanations. On that note, my life isn’t anyone’s bargaining chip.”
Yu Mo’s hand went straight through Mu Yu’s neck prior to his presence vanishing before her eyes, prompting her to go back into hiding and searching from the shadows. Search as she may, Yu Mo was unable to locate him despite her being certain her domain was still in effect. “Escaped, did you?”
“You’re on a higher horse than you can ride.”
He’s still in my domain, but where is he? I can hear his voice, yet I can’t find him in my own domain? wondered Yu Mo, unaware that Mu Yu had taken over her domain with his Universe Ruler domain. “You want to play hide and seek?”
Yu Mo rocked her domain as she summoned sickles in every corner of domain, yet none of them could catch Mu Yu. Mu Yu’s downward slash disrupted her focus and startled her. She lost half a strand of hair as she tugged herself off the sword’s course and then defused her domain. The two were still standing where they were prior to Yu Mo deploying her domain.
“How did you see through my domain?”
Mu Yu whipped his sword. “You’re not qualified to know.”
“Impressive, indeed.” Yu Mo devoured all of the light into a jet-black sickle she manifested and hen swung, unleashing a hail of shadow spikes.
Mu Yu cut down, vanquishing the hail of shadows with qi and drove Yu Mo back upon forcing her into a close-quarters confrontation. She immediately summoned shadows from the leaf lobes around Mu Yu as chains.
“Mind Universe Ruler.”
Yu Mo saw the leaves within a five metre radius around Mu Yu turn yellow and fall, including lush leaves that drifted over from outside those five metres. She brushed it off as an unimportant phenomenon and hurled her sickle in, only for her to lose control of it. He turned the black sickle into a branch and then effortlessly snapped it in one hand. Upon focusing attention back to her hand, Yu Mo found her sickle had already been evaporated.
Mu Yu swirled the clouds and chopped. Yu Mo could not see herself surviving if she took the green blade head on, but there was no chance of escape. Suddenly, Xiao Ran burst onto the scene and pulled her up onto a branch.
“Yu Mo, you shouldn’t pick a fight with Mu Yu,” Xiao Ran rebuked with a smile.
“I don’t need your help!”
“Naturally, I don’t want to save you because of our opposing allegiances. We also stand to lose if you die, however. We share a common goal, remember?” responded Xiao Ran, referring to Perfect World.
The two enemies needed to accept a temporary truce if they were to survive against the soul race, Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s four disciples and Chu Xiachi, whose allegiance was anyone’s guess.
Yu Mo turned back to Mu Yu. “What is your domain?”
Mu Yu positioned his sword close to his body and asked Xiao Ran, “You also want some?”
“No. I thought you wouldn’t be a threat to us since you’re new to Apotheosis Realm as I do know Ju Mang’s domain ability. It may be a miraculous ability, but it’s not suited for combat. I did not expect you to conjure your own domain unlike your brothers.”
“You sound surprised.”
“I am. Your three brothers are strong enough to give us a hard time. You’ve now proven yourself to be an unaccounted for factor in the equation.”
