Chapter 27 - Strongest Woman in the World
2166 Words
The temperature skyrocketed as the meteorites descended towards the mysterious entity
The entity waved the azure scythe releasing multiple azure flame beams at the incoming attacks
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire area within and outside the barrier shook as the azure flame beams cancelled the meteorites, even the barrier vibrated violently under the collision.
So far, they had both been equally matched in both speed, power and ability but the mysterious entity had not used any User Arts so far except For the art of forgery, not even the flaming meteorites could make them use a User Art
Crack!
The sound of space cracking under the torrents of attacks resounded as the collision of both attacks continued.
Whoosh!
The mysterious entity appeared before Chi meili waving their azure flaming scythe making a flaming arc at her
Clang!
The staff stopped the scythes in it's tracks as a wave of energy swept across every angle of space within the barrier
The mysterious entity swept their leg at chi meili's side.
Bam!
Chi meili blocked it with her arm and waved her leg at the side of the mysterious the entity's face
The entity tapped the air and moved backward dodging the kick and disengaging from the deadlock.
Chi meili charged at her with full speed slaming her staff at the entity's chest
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The weapons continued to move to each other as they launched attacks trying to gain the upper hand over the other.
Ripples continued to appear across space as their weapons moved through the air.
Boom!
Chi meili was sent flying after another catastrophic collision, making a flaming beam of fiery light fly through the air like a meteor.
The entity was also sent flying in the opposite direction but they quickly flipped through the air and struck their azure scythe at Chi meili
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chi meili dodged the attacks at high speed, flying across the air dancing through waves after waves of attacks.
She looked like it was easy but she was the only one who felt the speed of the attacks increasing as time went on
Boom!
The barrier vibrated as she dodged another Azure flame beam, which landed on the barrier, sending waves of azure flames across the air
Ha!
She exclaimed in a bewitching voice as she waved her staff releasing a wave of flames towards the mysterious entity
Swish!
The mysterious entity struck their scythe downwards releasing an azure flaming beam of five hundred kilometres to counter the wave of flames
BOOM!!
The deafening explosion of power resounded across space as the attacks met and cancelled each other
They both stopped moving as non of them had gained the upper hand yet.
"Why aren't you using your full power yet Chi meili?" The entity asked
"How" Chi meili asked
"You've been using simple attacks and the lowest Grades of fire arts instead of the Arts that you trained. Are you afraid your attacks would destroy the life around?"
"...." Chi meili didn't respond, what the mysterious entity said was true, she had been using simple attacks like regular Flame control and Low grade attacks
The 'Collapsing meteorite' that she had used earlier was a B grade Art while the Descending meteorite Formation was An A grade Technique, both of them were not part of the 《Annals of Flaming Purgatory》User Arts of the Flame domain but of a different user art. An art that Chi meili had developed on her own as she continued to evolve in the way of the user
"Hahahahaha..." She laughed in a bewitching tone, one that if anyone heard it their blood would boil, be them male or female. She wasn't trying to seduce anyone but her voice just carried an aura that would make any one who hears it feel l**t instantly
"What's funny?" The mysterious entity asked, anyone who saw her laugh in such situation would be surprised, no matter their status.
"You speak like you aren't doing the same no it's even worse. so far, you haven't used any sort except the art of forgery. Are you trying to hide your identity by hiding your user art" Chi meili said as she stooped laughing, there was no emotion in her voice but it was bewitching, so bewitching that it would invade the soul of any man who heard it
"Heh..." the entity said but even with the mist that is hiding the face of the mysterious entity one could feel the sneer on their face "There is no need for that, our battle would end quicker if I did"
"!!!" Chi meili grew alarmed, some one who could match her without using a user art doesn't exist not even the guardian could. She might still be holding back but countering her user arts with only a beam..... only the emperors and the guardian could do such after using spirit manifestation but she couldn't feel any spirit energy from this entity, forget sensing their user strength she could barely feel their existence.
Every time she tried to probe their energy, she would feel her user sense scattering like paper in water when it approached the mysterious entity.
Which means that if such a being uses A User art she just wondered how powerful it would be.
"Seeing you ponder is so funny" the mysterious entity said bringing chi meili back into reality
"Are you a spirit?" Chi meili asked, the only beings who would try to kill her were spirits. Although the humans and spirits were not at war, such situations could still occur.
"Heh... can't you sense my life core?" The mysterious entity asked
"Such a thing could be faked" chi meili said in rebuttal
"The user aura can be faked but the life core aura cannot be faked, such simple knowledge cannot elude you, can it Chi meili?" The entity mocked
"That is true for humans but the Requim gate's plane of existence is infinitely large, who could tell what is and what isn't in such a place" chi meili said
"I can see you are trying to buy time by talking but let me let you know that it is useless" the entity suddenly said
Chi meili: "..."
"You must be wondering why our battle has not drawn the attention of anyone yet, haven't you?" The mysterious entity paused "The barrier doesn't only block attacks but also isolate auras in a very unique way"
"What 'unique way'?" chi meili asked with sunken brows.
"This barrier registers and continues to emit the aura of whoever enters it at the same frequency as when they entered, which means that the people outside like the Guardian and the Flame emperor cannot sense the fluctuation in you aura, what they feel or sense is your aura before you entered. So, to them you still have your bracelet on and your aura is calm even though you are fighting in this place. Thus, no one would show up here" The mysterious entity finished explaining
Chi meili's brows sank further, whenever a powerful expert engages in battle, people from all over the continent and even the world depending on power and popularity would be able to tell, some would even begin to show up to see the battle for themselves in order to find out the scale of the expert's strength.
With her reputation and power, the Flame emperor ought to have shown up the moment she released her energy. She wasn't any ordinary expert so she, fighting anyone would devastate the continent, in fact it could destroy half the surface of the earth as collateral damage, hence, the top experts and the Flame emperor would make sure to create and continously fortify a powerful isolation barrier.
But up till this moment no one had shown up, not even the experts in the region had shown up.
"What about you, can they feel your aura?" She had to ask, though she couldn't sense the energy of this mysterious entity until they stopped nigo's blast from going off and she had never felt their aura before in her life, she still wanted to be sure.
"They can't, I control this barrier and I can use it to erase my aura completely so, right now they can only feel your aura here and not mine. Hence, they won't find anything strange going on. They would probably think you came here to train" the entity said
"Good! that's all I needed to know, oh how powerful is this your barrier?" She asked in a calm tone
"Haven't you noticed that it's power is equal to that of the Absolute Flame barrier? Nothing in this world can break it, so let me enjoy this battle till I grow bored and decide to kill you" the entity said with disdain in their tone.
"I asked you before and I'm going to ask you again, do you truly know who I am?" Chi meili's voice grew dark
"I may not know the true limits of your power but if there is one thing I know it's that you are the most powerful woman alive, an existence only below the Guardian and some of the emperors, one would even deign to say you are on par with them. Is that not enough?" The entity said
"If you knew all that and you still dared to claim you can kill me then that means you are truly naive"
Wheeeeeeeee
A sound erupted from Chi meili as her gaze grew solemn and her aura began to rise.
"!!!" The entity froze as the pressure being emitted by chi meili increased. it is because the pressure doesn't just affect the body but also the soul and spirit
RUMBLE!
The barrier began to vibrate under the increase in pressure, the pressure seemed to be from something that had transcended the very limits of this world. It was because chi meili was using the one Art that could make every thing in creation shiver from her might, the one art that no ordinary person could dream of using, the art of Spirit Manifestation. Spirit energy flowed into her liaison core and it was growing rapidly.
Ten percent......
Twenty percent.....
Forty percent.....
Cracks started appearing on the barrier. how could it hold something that is beyond it's very existence? Even something like it would tremble before such power!
The spirit energy merging with chi meili's User energy continued to grow
Crack!
Dark clouds appeared over the whole western area of the Flame domain and Lightening bolts began to appear in the clouds
The day grew darker and darker as a chilling wind blew across the region.
"This is such a strange cloud, seems like a heavy storm is coming" a shop owner said as he looked at the clouds
"Let's head home, I don't want the rain to start before i get home" a customer that came with his wife to purchase some thing said
The aura and pressure grew until
Sixty percent.....
Chi meili's eyes were radiating an orange light as a dense spiritual energy enveloped her body and even the Flaming staff in her hand
Hair long black hair danced in this calm energy, even the Flaming amour around her had disappeared and what replaced it, is an opaque sheet of an orange aura which stuck to her body.
She looked like a brilliant orange coloured light in the sky, the light from her illuminated the dark world.
The mysterious entity looked at her and although the pressure had made the air to become thick, so thick that one could not raise their hands, this mysterious entity's dark mist still remained unchanged.
"You said that nothing in this world could break this barrier right?" Chi meili said as her gaze grew cold
Pah!
She clapped her hands together
"I thought you were a spirit who had come to challenge me to test your power. I didn't want to kill you despite your killing intent to avoid unnecessary conflict with the spirits but..... after I discovered that you were not a spirit, I have decided to end you right here right now!" she said in a calm tone, the usual bewitching tone had disappeared and what replaced it was a cold tone which radiated a choking killing intent
"He..you make me laugh" the entity said " and what makes you think you can kill me?"
"It's because I'm the most powerful woman on the planet"
CRACK!
The moment Chi meili finished speaking she had already appeared before the mysterious entity and drove her fist into their Dark mist, the mist made a loud cracking sound that sounded like the cracking of bones the moment her fist touched it.
The entity had not been able to see her when she had appeared so they could not even dodge the attack.
The mist scattered at the point where Chi meili's fist had struck
"Wh... what!" the entity shouted for the first time in alarm
