How to choose?

At such life-and-death moments, Ziyue had also experienced quite a few, and she has never been a hesitant person.

Decisiveness in killing has been one of the reasons she has survived over the years, but decisiveness in killing does not equate to recklessness.

She always had to consider before she acted.

Battle judgments are such that a single mistake could cost a life, no mistakes can be afforded at any time.

Kill!

It took less than a breath for Ziyue to make a decision in this moment of life and death!

The reason was simple. She couldn’t determine if the enemy had reinforcements, but delaying would be to her disadvantage.

The Formation was incredibly strange, capable of changing the heavens and the earth, and even her disciples would likely only meet with being trapped.

The Warrior Army completely lost its perspective and couldn’t coordinate effectively, so against advanced demons they wouldn’t be able to Form an Array to take advantage of the military formation’s strengths.

It was very likely that in a short time they’d be divided and ambushed. The elite soldiers she brought couldn’t afford to die here easily, as they were the foundation of her and Chen Qing’s resistance against those people!

There were also Shen Qi and her disciples, all of whom were weak but extraordinarily capable and were very likely to be targeted first. She couldn’t afford to delay...

In an instant, Ziyue’s momentum changed radically, her erupting spiritual energy soared to the skies, and many cracks appeared in the night due to it, with copious amounts of Spiritual Energy spilling out!

Ziyue did not hesitate to crush the Compressed White Jade in her hand, and with the Great Formation’s sealing ability, the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding space surged!

Indeed, the next second, the concentration of Spiritual Energy around her rose several levels, a scene that made the Dragon King across from her clap in admiration.

"So many years since we’ve seen each other, you’ve changed quite a bit. Not only are you decisive in killing, but you also have such quick wits!"

A Formation trapping people has the advantage of restricting the enemy, but the downside is that the surrounding space is compressed, which can very likely be exploited, as now.

While they trapped her, they enabled her to use the Compressed White Jade to directly elevate the surrounding Spiritual Energy concentration to a level where King Level beings could exist!

And this person also guessed right that her opponents would not easily initiate the Formation trapping her. Ziyue was extremely skilled in spatial formations, and if they rashly tore open Space, letting her leverage the advantage of Spatial Art, catching her would be extremely difficult.

Meaning, from the time the opponent decisively initiated King Level strength, she could only decide on a battle to the death in this cage-like place!

"Since you’re so determined, then let me see your progress!" the Dragon King sneered coldly. His aura burst forth instantly, and it was evident that he had unleashed King Level power.

And as an old King Level, the spiritual energy the Dragon King unleashed was extremely pure, and his vital energy was immensely strong, far surpassing Ziyue, who had just entered King Level, in basic values by who knows how much!

Indeed, the next instant the Dragon King took the initiative to attack, without any signs, his step shifted, his speed like a shadow of light. Both being of King Level, Ziyue discovered that she couldn’t capture his movements with her eyes at all.

A terrifying crisis surged through her heart, forcing her to activate a Forbidden Technique without hesitation.

It was almost a bodily instinctive response, years of life-and-death battle experience let her body instinctively use an extremely burdensome Forbidden Technique, for one reason only: not using it... she would die immediately!

The gap... was bigger than she imagined!

Countless spaces twisted and folded; layers upon layers surround Ziyue like folding mirrors, each time as if opening a new heaven and earth.

The Power of the Demon Statue and its Spatial Art were extremely mystical; it could quickly close the space between both parties, even if separated by the distance of a universe, and it could also instantaneously widen the gap, making the surrounding space extend indefinitely.

Such Forbidden Techniques were nearly indistinguishable from cheating, no wonder in the fourth version, all players fought desperately to obtain the Spatial Dao Fruit. If one possessed that, it would be simply the best tool for saving one’s life!

But facing such a formidable enemy now, it’s not so useful, the opponent’s speed... too fast!

Ziyue hardly dares to stop moving, constantly copying chunks of space to pull away from the enemy, without even a moment to breathe.

This Forbidden Technique of copying and folding space has its conditions; it can only copy the space within reach of one’s spiritual power. And because trapped within this Formation, the space Ziyue can copy is limited, estimated to be roughly about a hundred square kilometers.

But for a master of the Dragon King’s caliber, this distance can be covered in less than a breath, so she can only keep copying and folding, barely preventing the enemy from getting close!

However, the energy consumption of this method is enormous...

The Dragon King, who was steadily closing in, was slightly shocked. The art of constantly copying space could directly change the battlefield, and it wasn’t even caused by any Formation. When did Ziyue acquire such an ability?

Lucky that he took control of her with a Formation beforehand, otherwise, wouldn’t she be able to utilize even more space?

Through the few folded distances, he can deduce that the opponent can only copy the space that her spiritual power reaches, but this is still frightening.

If she were a Venerable One, she could almost infinitely copy the space of this world.

This ability... just thinking about it makes one’s scalp tingle!

No wonder... those people back then were so eager to possess the Origin Dao Fruits, Space, Time, Taiji, Spiritual Energy, Yin Yang... each one incomparable to the Postnatal Dao Fruits available now!

But such an art must consume a great deal, right? Even if you could copy infinitely, how long can you hold out?

The Dragon King squinted his eyes mockingly at Ziyue, who seemed unable to even track his speed; otherwise, with such ability alone, she could have sealed him already.

But from afar, Ziyue seemed to have anticipated his thoughts, and with a provocative smile, she pulled out one after another high-quality Compressed White Jade from a complex Spatial Rune.

The energy, pure and concentrated, was rapidly absorbed by her body, making Ziyue seem like a perpetual motion machine, dumbfounding the Dragon King.

Indeed, being adept in Spatial Art, she naturally could prepare high-density Bai Yu in advance. With Chen Qing taking away the Bai Yu hoarded in the Dragon Palace for many years, energy is the least of what she’s lacking. But... isn’t her absorption rate a bit exaggerated?

Purified Bai Yu can restore a Magician’s Spiritual Energy, but it requires a slow conversion process. Even with pure energy, the body takes time to absorb, unlike how she does it, almost like charging a battery – as if she’s a smartphone plugged into a power source, ready to go on immediately?

What kind of ability is this?

Meanwhile, beyond the veil of shadow, a pair of eyes was filled with immense excitement.

It was certainly not a mistake to come here. She paid a high price to trade for this opportunity from the crafty Old Liu, and its value was higher than she imagined!

Is this the power of one of the four great Demon Statues?

A Forbidden Technique comparable to the Dao Fruit, truly terrifying!

She instantly realized that Ziyue’s power was not only in her formidable space ability but also in her control over matter to the utmost degree. Everything in the world is within her power, and that’s why Ziyue can immediately use the energy from Bai Yu right away!

If she possessed her, she would have the most perfect Forbidden Technique, and by merging it with the Dao Fruit, even if the fourth version came along, she would have nothing to fear!

With this thought, without any hesitation, her pale hand reached into the veil of darkness!
