Chapter 1949: Cornered?
Chapter 1949: Cornered?
Davis and Alexi Ethren were shocked over this revelation as they saw the battle continue as Natalya quickly cornered Ivy Aries with her overwhelming prowess.
It seemed that as soon as Ivy Aries decided to show her true prowess, Natalya no longer held back as well.
However, their attention was no longer on the battle but the significance of Ivy Aries's origin.
Davis and Alexi Ethren communicated with each other through soul transmission in confusion.
Suddenly, they recalled that Old Man Garvin had a Jade Lotus Valley's deacon as a concubine. It was possible that she returned to the Jade Lotus Valley after Old Man Garvin's supposed death, biding her time or not doing anything but the pendant seemed to have been passed down generation after generation and was now with Ivy Aries as a keepsake or family heirloom.
Although they couldn't be too sure if someone else gave her that pendant, the chances that she is most likely Old Man Garvin's descendant shot up the roof.
Davis and Alexi Ethren wondered if they should share Old Man Garvin's inheritance with her but then realized that it was probably useless to this genius who made her way up the ladder and became a top disciple. After all, the Jade Lotus Valley existed as long as the Heaven Mandate Temple and Heaven Gazing Sect. She wouldn't lack resources, but she lacked the Emperor Grade Manual Soul Forging Cultivation that Old Man Garvin left, although they weren't too sure if the Jade Lotus Valley lacks the manual or the resources.
'Or did her fate change because of my eventual meeting with Old Man Garvin…?'
Rumor had it that this Ivy Aries was less than a hundred years old.
Therefore, Davis appeared suspicious of Ivy Aries's development as the other geniuses were all more than a hundred years old. Based on his previous experience and abstruse understanding of the mysterious movement of fate lines, especially after witnessing his derailed fate, he understood that even if the person were not near, they undergo some wild transformations that he couldn't understand.
If this weren't for the case, how is it possible for some random genius to at an isolated location like the Jade Lotus Valley to give birth to a genius with an Immeasurable Sea?
He had seen Rayn Shard, the Emperor Sword Sect's top disciple battle, and he didn't have an Immeasurable Sea. Or was he also hiding his true prowess as Ivy Aries did?
"Didn't the people say that she is a couple with Rayn Shard of the Emperor Sword Sect? What kind of distasteful twist is this?"
Alexi Ethren sent Davis a soul transmission.
Old Man Garvin had been schemed against by the Shard Family of the Emperor Sword Sect, but now, Ivy Aries was going to become together with that backstabbing family's bastard? Alexi Ethren couldn't help but scoff at this information as he couldn't help but feel that it couldn't get any more ironic.
If this truly happened, Old Man Garvin might cry from the afterlife if he hadn't reincarnated yet.
Davis thought for a moment before he responded.
"It's normal for people to look at them as a couple since they're the topmost geniuses of their respective powers that are allied from time immemorial. If nothing changes, they will likely end up marrying, but we'll see. If the rumors are true, Rayn Shard is around two hundred years older than her. Ivy Aries won't even deign to look his way if she is the prideful swan she appears to be unless she likes him for who he is."
"Well, she better not be in a relationship with Rayn Shard or anyone else from the Shard Family, for that matter. Otherwise, we'll be forced to kill her as well."
"True."
As it was possible that she was Old Man Garvin's most talented descendant, they naturally didn't want to kill her. To Alexi Ethren, she could also say to be a distant relative, although it was unknown how many generations separated them that they could practically be considered strangers even though they might have Old Man Garvin's blood running in their veins.
Above the fiery lands, Natalya strode forward as she danced in mid-air while Ivy Aries sent light green watery lotuses to counter Natalya's icy-blue lotuses.
However, unbeknown to others, the core of the light green watery lotuses was azure. The azure light didn't shine and remained inconspicuous, but the icy-blue energy that they absorbed seemed to be sucked into it, disappearing.
As Natalya attacked and spun her graceful and lithe body, she had her eyes not on Ivy Aries but those lotuses. They were constantly turned into ice, or her own icy-blue lotuses collapsed. However, she felt her connection to them disappear before they collapsed, which made her feel strange, making her assume they were absorbed.
However, how was it possible for an opponent to absorb and even make her lose connection with her own energy? Was this a scam? Or was there some kind of hidden Mid-Level Emperor Grade Artifact that was doing this work?
She couldn't understand it but kept cornering Ivy Aries more and more, pushing her to the edge of the spatial barrier.
"I don't know what kind of techniques you have in store to catch me off-guard, but if you don't fight back already, then you're going to undoubtedly lose."
Natalya warned before the intensity that she released her technique's might drastically increased. There were no longer tiny or small icy-blue lotuses but big ones. Before this, it wasn't even a constant burden on her energy reserves as her rate of consumption and recovery remained the same, but with this move, her energy was being used to a level that her energy recovery wasn't able to keep up.
Each second, she lost a percent of her energy. It meant that she wouldn't last more than a hundred seconds or hundred exchanges!
However, Ivy Aries's expression changed.
The icy-blue lotuses were almost upon her as they destroyed her water lotuses. She knew she was going to lose as long as the big watery green lotus in front of her was turned into ice and shattered, but abruptly, she clasped her hand as the aura around her changed.
A deep azure light shone from her body as an image appeared behind her.
It was the image of the deep sea turning into an endless whirlpool that threatened to suck in everything in its sphere of influence.
Natalya felt her heart sink when she viewed this scene, feeling herself to be pulled inside even though she quickly felt that it was just its aura displaying an illusion to her will.
When that image appeared, the surviving light green watery lotus abruptly shone azure into a whole, instantly enlarging into a towering hundred-meter tall lotus.
Natalya's icy-blue lotuses that were twenty-meter tall each struck that monstrosity, but the moment they entered that big azure lotus and tried to freeze it, they succeeded for an inch or two before they collapsed.
Instantly, the only remaining lotus in the fiery land was that towering azure green lotus.
"This…"
The outside was deathly silent upon witnessing this scene. However…
"Heavens! It's the World Devouring Water Body…!"
A knowledgeable person from the crowds screamed upon witnessing that manifestation while many people became shocked.
Ivy Aries possessed a unique physique!?
