The dark-skinned man swung his sword, releasing a very strong attack that arrived in front of Pearl before he could prepare for it. Pearl teleported again, disappearing from where he stood, arriving so distance away with a haggard look. He was so close to getting hit that ti that it wasn't even funny. Fighting sothing an entire major realm above you was not an easy feat for Pearl even after all the courage he had mustered.
'I will be seriously injured if I am hit by that,' Pearl thought. He was certain he would even die if the attack ant for it.
'There is no fighting here,' Pearl thought. 'I can teleport all around, but victory won't co from it. I must find it.'
Pearl realized that there was no exchange of attacks going to happen here. It was not a fight where he could chip down his enemy. He had to defeat him with one single attack.
'I need to figure out more about him first,' Pearl thought. The man had used nothing but sword attacks until now. He hadn't used any techniques or Daos.
Pearl needed to know what he had.
Pearl teleported to a different location, his aura concealed completely so that the man couldn't locate him imdiately. The man turned to find him, locating him partially before Pearl poured his Qi into his spear held high and he slamd it downward.
Five Heavenly Forms of Spear - Third Form: Heavenly Spear Volley
The spear glowed brilliantly at that very mont, the energy within it flying into the sky, high above where it split into multiple spear-shaped energy and rained down into the ground in a volley.
Pearl teleported even before the attack rained down, concealing himself in another location where the man couldn't find him. The attacks rained down a second later like a destructive shower. Thousands of weak spear attacks rained in every location, destroying the flatland completely. Even Alex and the others had to move out of the way so that the attacks didn't land on them. It was just that much of a widespread attack.
Pearl watched the man carefully, sneaking in a few attacks from where he could before teleporting once again. He did this multiple tis until the man was forced to reveal one of his defensive techniques.
The man's body glowed brightly, turning a shade darker as he employed a body-hardening technique now that was different from the Jade Skin technique.
Pearl attacked a few more tis while the man simply protected himself against all of the attacks effortlessly. Even the strongest attack Pearl made was no stronger than Immortal Origin's 6th realm, so it was difficult for him to do particularly anything.
Still, that was just in preparation for his actual strongest attack. Pearl kept a low stance and poured Qi into his spear. It flowed into it brilliantly, making the entire thing glow as energy revolved around the outside, picking up montum.
It got stronger, and then the man attacked.
Alex didn't fight back. He teleported instead, arriving at another location, keeping the spear powered up the entire ti. The man attacked and Pearl teleported again.
Again and again, Pearl poured all he had into the spear, causing the energy around it to spin and churn and vomit out blindingly bright light. The sun had yet to set and sohow Pearl's attack seed brighter than the sun itself at the mont.
The man quickly frowned, realizing that the power around Pearl's spear was quickly picking up to beco very strong. Just sensing the aura of what it was right now made him worry. If he let it continue any longer then—
Pearl attacked.
From an outside perspective, the blinding light seed to lengthen all of a sudden, elongating to fill the entirety of the distance between Pearl and his opponent.
To the dark-skinned man, the spear seed to enlarge in size at once, the distance between it vanishing. The attack had co through shrunken space, landing directly on the man, along with every Pearl could muster. The result was an explosion unlike any before as even space seed to ripple with Pearl's attacks.
The shockwave from the attack pushed back many of the people in the area, including causing Alex to brace himself for it. As he was right now, this was how much power he could generate as he was right now as well so to see Pearl do such a thing was surprising.
He had known about Pearl's strength long ago, but still seeing it being used on a battlefield was fascinating. Once the shockwaves were gone and the chaos of the explosion died down, they finally saw the aftermath of the attack.
What remained after such a strong attack… was a grin. The dark-skinned man grinned as he stared directly at Pearl.
Pearl felt his spine go cold as he saw a destroyed parasol before the man. He had used a defensive treasure to protect himself at the last mont.
"That was quite a strong attack," the man said, taking deep breaths. "I would've been wounded had it hit , so I must comnd you for it."
Pearl's hand trembled. He had known about this possibility. The possibility that the man had treasures hidden inside of his soul space that he was going to use. But, he hadn't expected him to have a chance to pull it out in ti.
He was certain that he would have caught him off-guard.
'Dammit!' Pearl thought as his strongest attack was defended against so easily.
"Now then," the man said, his sword taking on a color other than white for the first ti. "Let us end this quickly."
The man swung his sword and the attack turned into a large illusory elephant that ca trampling toward Pearl. Pearl teleported, dodging the attack, but the man simply controlled the elephant, turning it around. As it ran, the elephant picked up speed. So even as Pearl teleported around a few more tis, it caught up to it very quickly.
"Hahah!" the fox laughed. "It's over!"
Alex watched, frowning. Was it really over? Had he expected too much from Pearl? He should have been the one in this fight. Not Pearl. If it was him, he could have— ROAR!!
A tiger's roar shook the land, carrying with it a strong spiritual attack that spread everywhere, including the audience.
Alex felt his mind waver for a second before gathering itself back. The others around him were much worse in that it took them a few more seconds. However, before they could do that, they were imdiately t with a large shockwave that carried with it the sound of an explosion.
The shockwave this ti was even stronger from the large ti, pushing back all of whom were still standing. Alex had to use his defensive technique quickly to remain standing.
He looked through the shockwave, through the explosion. He hadn't seen what had been the cause of the explosion as his spiritual sense was rocked at that very mont, but he could now see its aftermath.
A large crater opened in the ground and within it was the dark-skinned man, missing several parts of his body. He was alive but was clearly incapacitated.
Far to the side, Pearl stood tall, breathing deeply. Victorious.
