Of course, Guan Yue had been watching Regretless Sage closely. He knew that Regretless Sage must have some hidden trump card; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to swagger into the Southern Source Empire like this. But what was his purpose? What was his reliance?
The fierce battle continued, with Senior Cultivators clashing in a spectacular display of power. The atmosphere was thick with killing intent, and Origin Energy surged like a raging tide. The destructive force swept through the area like Cleaving Waves and Splitting Seas, creating dark clouds of battle across thousands of miles. The collision of powers turned the sky dark and the ground bloody.
After a prolonged struggle, both Northern Eagle and Regretless Sage had been depleting their strength. Originally, there were dozens on each side, but now only a few remained with Combat Power. As the battle progressed, the intensity increased; blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs danced amidst the chaos. Yet they fought on relentlessly, charging forward with increasing ferocity, determined to settle their rivalry.
Who would laugh last?
Regretless Sage still appeared vigorous, seemingly oblivious to the exhaustion of his subordinates as he fought fiercely against each opponent before him. Of course, his opponents were also changing constantly; Northern Eagle employed a strategy of attrition to wear down Regretless Sage's Origin Energy. After several exchanges, he discovered that Regretless Sage possessed nearly limitless Combat Power!
Guan Yue was puzzled; what exactly was Regretless Sage up to? Given the current situation, he could easily escape since the observing Disciples had begun to clear out Regretless Sage's subordinates. The odds were increasingly stacked against Regretless Sage.
This was a critical moment, yet Regretless Sage remained calm as he battled his opponents without any intention of fleeing.
Was he waiting for those two Eternal Realm Cultivators?
Guan Yue scrutinized Regretless Sage's face and saw no signs of anxiety or indications that he was waiting for someone. Therefore, it was most likely that he was confident in eliminating all of Northern Eagle's subordinates!
The more Guan Yue thought about it, the more certain he became. He quickly donned his Mecha Battle Suit and firmly grasped his Laser Gun. At the same time, he enveloped himself in thick mist—a magical aura altered by a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast. Under this magical influence, even Guan Yue himself appeared quite vague.
Gao Yuxin secretly chuckled, "Brother Guan, Master Brother, you look just like the Vajra War God now; you must be afraid these people don’t know how formidable the Vajra War God is."
"Yes, it should give them quite a scare. It would be great if it could also startle Regretless Sage," Guan Yue said longingly.
Gao Yuxin mocked him, "Brother Guan, if you expect him to hand over two Children of Heaven and Earth willingly, you are bound to be disappointed. Don't underestimate Regretless Sage; he possesses two types of power within him—like you, he has two kinds of blood. For someone like him, never view him through ordinary standards."
"Oh, I must pay attention now to see what happens with him; this will serve as a lesson for me in the future. You should keep an eye on him too. This fellow has definitely activated both types of blood," Guan Yue remarked with great interest upon realizing that Regretless Sage also had two types of blood. He wanted to see just how much commotion Regretless Sage could create. For this reason, Guan Yue had made all necessary preparations.
As Regretless Sage and Northern Eagle's Disciples were nearly exhausted, only a few from both sides remained struggling in their final efforts.
At this moment, Northern Eagle sensed something was off; many observing Disciples were sharpening their blades and preparing to strike.
But just then, Regretless Sage began scanning his surroundings with keen eyes as if searching for someone!
What could make him still have concerns in such a pressing situation?
Guan Yue would never have dreamed that the Regretless Sage was currently searching for him. Based on the Regretless Sage's judgment, Guan Yue would definitely come and would appear nearby.
Because the Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui had already intended to pass the message to him. According to her understanding of Guan Yue, he would surely come to trouble the Regretless Sage.
Since he was going to take action, he also wanted to eliminate Guan Yue at the same time. So he began searching for the terrifying figure described multiple times by the Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui and Little Red Fish—Guan Yue.
However, Guan Yue had already undergone changes due to the Unintentional Submergence Technique, making it futile for the Regretless Sage to scan repeatedly with his powerful Divine Sense. Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for his side, the Regretless Sage finally decided to take action.
At this moment, everyone could sense that the Regretless Sage had not fought with all his strength earlier. Despite losing many subordinates, he remained calm and unprovoked; it turned out he had his own considerations.
Suddenly, the Regretless Sage soared over a hundred meters into the air and shouted loudly at all the Disciple present who had come to watch: "Those of you who want to see a spectacle, those who wish for my Regretless life, those who want to obtain the Child of Heaven and Earth, you all stay here. I regret allowing you to turn this place into fertile ground; it counts as a contribution to the land. Otherwise, you are merely a scourge with no positive effect."
Then, the Regretless Sage burst into laughter, and in an instant, a sky full of red and black light spread out behind him. The two colors of light covered an area of over five thousand miles completely.
"The Yin-Yang Fire Realm! Hahaha! Let you witness the true Yin-Yang Fire Realm before your end. This is the absolute yin-yang generated under the urging of the Child of Heaven and Earth—a boundary of yin and yang from which no one can escape. You greedy fellows will die in this transformation of yin and yang."
At this moment, within a five-thousand-mile radius, almost all opposing Disciple were completely annihilated by the Regretless Sage's suddenly unleashed Yin-Yang Fire Realm. The earth and sky were instantly submerged in an ice-and-fire duality.
One moment there was bone-chilling cold in a thousand miles of ice; the next moment there was scorching heat reaching hundreds of degrees. If it were just like this, most of the Disciple could still endure it. However, what the Regretless Sage used was the Yin-Yang Fire Realm. In this extreme exchange of yin and yang, a fierce Heavenly Fire swept through.
Indeed, it was Heavenly Fire—the true fire from heaven that could destroy all matter.
Gao Yuxin quickly exclaimed: "Brother Guan, this is the eighth-ranked Yin Jiao Fire among heavenly sacred fires; it's extremely rare and its power far exceeds that of Peak Fire Sprite. Because Peak Fire Sprite is merely natural fire while Heavenly Fire is refined fire."
"What methods can counter it?" Guan Yue asked.
"Any other Heavenly Fire ranked above it can work. But based on my analysis, besides Yin-Yang Fire Realm, he should also have Yin-Yang Water Realm. Did you notice that his Yin-Yang Realm is a domain? And it's a movable domain?" Gao Yuxin reminded Guan Yue.
Only then did Guan Yue truly notice that within that extreme cold and extreme heat spread Heavenly Fire was almost completely devouring everything within the five-thousand-mile radius formed by Regretless Sage—even starting to consume air—and was approaching Guan Yue's position at an incredibly terrifying speed.
This truly shocked Guan Yue because when he used Magic Supreme Technique, he only devoured properties unique to humans such as Origin Energy, Mental Strength, Consciousness power, etc., but could not devour air!
This indicated that Regretless Sage's Devouring Power had reached a spatial level and could even devour entire space itself.
What is this Devouring Power? Is this the power of the Child of Heaven and Earth?
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Fire Realm of the Regretless Sage was rapidly spreading within a five-thousand-mile radius, having already devoured over a hundred Disciples, and was quickly advancing towards the position where Guan Yue stood. This force was like a black hole, indeed, a black hole that swallowed everything, leaving no hope for the Disciples.
Thousands of onlooking Disciples were struggling desperately, trying to escape the rhythm of waiting for death! The combined strength of over a thousand Disciples was immense and powerful, but before the Yin-Yang Fire Realm of the Regretless Sage, all of it seemed so weak and futile.
Those Disciples, including many Senior Cultivators, were like ants on a hot pan, awaiting only death. They were angry, they were sad, they were frustrated, they were going mad, but none of it mattered anymore; everything would soon be over. Only the Regretless Sage would remain!
Thus, the Regretless Sage laughed heartily towards the sky, watching his Yin-Yang Fire Realm harvest the lives and deaths of the Disciples. His heart was filled with joy. His proud heart was once again satisfied.
At that moment, Guan Yue moved. While thousands of Disciples could only struggle and not move, Guan Yue acted, catching the attention of the ecstatic Regretless Sage. He immediately flashed to stand before Guan Yue, and when he took a closer look at Guan Yue's attire, he was taken aback: "You, who are you? Where do you come from?"
He had clearly seen through the mist that Guan Yue was wearing a Mecha Battle Suit and holding a Laser Gun. The image felt completely out of place with reality.
Seeing the confusion in Regretless Sage's eyes, Guan Yue focused his thoughts and spoke in a rough voice: "I am a celestial being. You dare to use the power of the Child of Heaven and Earth for cruel slaughter, going against the Heaven's Will. I have come to take you down. Do not attempt to flee." Guan Yue intentionally added a hint of an accent to make his voice sound quite comical.
The appearance and words of Guan Yue startled the Regretless Sage. However, being an experienced individual, he would not believe Guan Yue immediately; thus he retorted: "What kind of deity are you?"
In a flash of inspiration, Guan Yue thought up a countermeasure: "I am a dignitary from the Celestial Court Department of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning." Realizing that the Regretless Sage was only revealing half-truths and trying to gauge his authenticity, Guan Yue decided to be economical with his words as well; he was now engaged in a battle of wits and courage with the Regretless Sage.
Since there was little knowledge about the celestial court in the Yongning Continent, and no one had ever heard of any such department as the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning Department, but given that Guan Yue's current image allowed him to move freely within the realm of the Regretless Sage, it left the latter half-convinced. Thus for a moment, he dared not act rashly.
