"So what if it is a self-sacrificial technique? It changes nothing."
Venerable Knight Lussandra calmly said, "I sense you harbor intense hatred against the world. It is far greater than what the Divine Emperor of Death has, and that makes you a more significant threat in my eyes."
"Duh~" Mingzhi nearly rolled her eyes, "Who wouldn't have hatred against someone or some group who's trying their utmost to kill them? That rogue is too kind. I don't forgive easily."
"…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra took a deep breath.
She couldn't believe the prowess this black-robed woman possessed. It appeared that she could use both Devouring Laws and Twilight Laws. She saw her turn the souls of her Heaven's Warrior juniors into evaporating mist. She couldn't leave her alive.
"Wait a minute…" Mingzhi blinked as she noticed something strange.
"If you can tell that I have more hatred, do you possess Enigmatic Heart Laws? Or are you not brainwashed by the teachings of Heaven's Warriors since you have the blessing of the Seraphim Race because of your physique?
"…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra's brows narrowed. However, she didn't comment on it.
"In any case, a mere offshoot like you think you can kill me? I think you'll run out of energy first."
Mingzhi gazed with disdain, "Don't disturb me. I need to kill an army down there in order to satiate my quest for revenge."
She plunged down, but Venerable Knight Lussandra followed suit, sending terrifying wind blades that were fast and capable of ripping apart any Late Stage Autarch with ease.
Mingzhi's brows narrowed as she sensed this offshoot possessed the same amount of prowess as the avatar. The idea that this was a self-sacrificial technique became more pronounced in her mind, causing her to take action and retaliate.
She lifted her hand, and a spiraling vortex emerged from her palm, rapidly engulfing and shredding the wind blades within. Nothing escaped the power of devouring.
Mingzhi's devouring didn't contain any absorption or digestion, so she couldn't transfer any of the energy that came from devouring. Otherwise, she would become a blood cultivator like Schleya. Her comprehension was one of pure destruction, absorption through suction, and making mincemeat out of anything through thousands of spatial blades mixed and spiraling together with darkness, forming the devouring maw of Devouring Laws.
Venerable Knight's Lussandra's speed was extremely fast. Mingzhi appeared as though she was not able to keep up, but she always managed to defend against the wind blades at the very last second.
This made Venerable Knight Lussandra know that she could not defeat Mingzhi, so she switched to forcing her to go over the layer limit so that she may be kicked out of the void.
However, Mingzhi was incredibly careful, always using little than necessary.
It was as though she was suppressing herself from using her power, making Venerable Knight Lussandra harrumph and unleash a terrifying move.
Her green robe fluttered as she suddenly clapped her hands together.
A powerful ripple surged through the skies.
The very air twisted around Mingzhi as countless verdant wind runes appeared, forming an intricate array in an instant. A tempestuous force erupted, manifesting ten luminous, windy winged blades, each of them radiating overwhelming sharpness.
"Seraphic Gale Annihilation!"
The winged blades lunged forward with piercing howls, their very forms vibrating with high-speed destruction, capable of shredding through any energy field, any domain.
Mingzhi's pupils constricted.
She instantly realized that these weren't ordinary wind attacks but a spirit formation. It was cast too quickly, and they were elusive enough to escape the grasp of her devouring power, making her understand that she set these up secretly while flying around her.
Her spiraling devouring maw wouldn't simply grind them down like before.
However, Mingzhi's lips curled into a faint smile, "Nice trick."
With a flick of her wrist, a vortex of absolute darkness spiraled into existence before her. However, instead of expanding outward, it collapsed inward, creating an extreme spatial implosion that destroyed the void and sucked in the winged blades that used the wind to be elusive.
Without a spatial layer to accommodate the runes, they were nothing but tofu blades, easily dispersed.
Venerable Knight Lussandra's expression churned.
She looked up and saw Venerable Knight Damien's chest pierced through with that strange iridescent black-white spear.
Davis had his brows raised as he looked at the injury he created on Venerable Knight Damien's chest before inclining his gaze to look at his face. Venerable Knight Damien seemed to be smug as he clenched the Spear of Damnation, not letting it go.
He grinned, seemingly capable of stopping the soul attack from reaching his soul with his Oceanic Autarch Body.
It made Davis wonder just how big his body was, considering he could probably reach hundreds and thousands of kilometers in height if he wanted to do so with that much water in his body.
Immortals and Transcendents were capable of using blood techniques to increase the size of their body by many times. However, it only ends up making more vulnerabilities even with benefits, so it's better left unused. However, this person before him possessed the Oceanic Autarch Body, which was said to contain an ocean as vast as one-tenth of a Minor Realm within his dantian in the Autarch Stage.
All that divine water absolutely impeded his soul force from moving within the opponent's body.
Davis decisively let go of the Spear of Damnation and moved the reincarnation wheel towards the Venerable Hollow Knight, who reached out with his palm open and clenched to the utmost limit.
Instantly, the space around him was suddenly covered and became hollowed out from within, making Davis sink endlessly before the Venerable Hollow Knight twisted his hand, causing space to compress and annihilate everything inside, causing a spatial implosion that tried to crush the body and soul.
However, Davis remained unharmed. Strange silvery-purple veins erupted from his body. They rooted him to the space, anchoring his existence firmly, which made decompression and compression not at all affect him.
"You're not the only one who knows Space Laws to a high degree, you know."
Davis sighed ever so lightly as he rooted himself to space like Stella would.
If he hadn't understood Stella's Space Laws, he couldn't have easily escaped from this hollow energy technique. However, he wasn't necessarily worried because he knew the Venerable Hollow Knight's techniques could be countered using Chaos Laws alone, even if it was slightly difficult and could cause injuries.
However, if he used chaos-destruction energy, it was game over for the Venerable Hollow Knight.
He was just playing with the Venerable Hollow Knight, wanting to know more about Hollow Laws for his own growth while the latter was wracking his brains to come up with a method to defeat him.
He dodged the occasional wind blades that tried to slice him into pieces when he suddenly turned to look at Venerable Knight Lussandra.
"You know I have a little sister who is a Heaven's Warrior, right? Tell me, is the Seraphim Blood Essence really helpful in maintaining clarity from heaven's forceful influence?"
