Chapter 559: Support and Ascension
"If that’s what you think, then yes," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said coldly. "If her talent wasn't that exceptional, I might spare her for Su Qin's sake. But since her talent is so great... Do you think I'd raise a tiger that could bite me later? Please. You think I won't act against her just because she has the White Tiger Demon Emperor's bloodline? You had her use the White Tiger bloodline just to threaten me, and let me tell you: it won't work. The White Tiger Demon Emperor won't interfere with Kali City's matters. That's the Ancestral Court's decision."
The Peacock Great Demon King said coldly, "Then bring it on. You'll see why I chose her as my successor. Letting her showcase her abilities is to make you realize she's a threat, yet you'll have no way to deal with her. Do you really think I am stupid?"
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting such a response from the Peacock Great Demon King. "I don't know where your confidence comes from, but let's wait and see. First, pray that your daughter wins today's match. Or perhaps you should pray she loses. If she loses, I might consider sparing her."
The Peacock Great Demon King's eyes flickered, and he said nothing more, focusing all his attention on the competition stage.
With the referee's announcement of the start, today's main event officially began.
On one side of the stage, the siblings Meng Dede and Meng Deshi simultaneously released deep purple auras—Dark Domains. Meng Deshi could also use this domain!
When they activated it together, the two domains complemented each other, merging and surging forward. The deep purple swept across the stage, causing the air to feel heavy and dispersing and corroding all other types of elemental energy.
On the other side, Tang San stepped forward and placed his right hand on Mei Gongzi's back.
Mei Gongzi felt a rich and gentle power flow into her body. Her bloodline power surged instantly; the sensation was the same as what she had experienced in the last doubles match, but this time, the amplification was significantly greater.
She could sense the areas being eroded by darkness in the distance, hearing the lament of space, and feeling the presence of a vast expanse of space.
The Celestial Plume in her hand quivered in the air, and the three eyes emitted a soft silver glow. All the surrounding space elemental energy immediately swarmed toward her.
The enhancement Tang San provided her was not only in terms of bloodline power, but also spirit. She felt as if she had merged with Tang San behind her. The familiarity she had felt before became deeper and more moving, as if two warm arms were embracing her and lifting her up.
All the anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions vanished in an instant, leaving only a profound sense of inner strength.
Her sea of consciousness spread out, with the crystal core radiating light. Behind her own spirit core, she felt an even larger core that was continuously injecting vast amounts of spiritual power into her.
In the spectators' view, Tang San seemed to have disappeared into the shadow behind Mei Gongzi. Her entire body radiated a brilliant silver light, which expanded into beams of silver rays. Under the cover of that silver radiance, she looked holy, as if she were the very messenger of heavens. The dazzling silver light illuminated the surrounding space, causing it to start showing slight distortions. These distortions blocked the darkness onslaught from the opposite side, forcibly resisting the Dark Domain and preventing it from crossing the midpoint.
Space clashed with darkness.
Mei Gongzi didn’t have a domain of her own, yet she somehow managed to hold back a union of two compatible domains. Although the sea of darkness was still advancing slowly, the overwhelming momentum it had before was significantly curbed.
On Mei Gongzi's forehead, the Peacock Golden Crown radiated brilliant light. The deep golden color turned into platinum, adorned with even more splendid patterns that almost covered her entire forehead. Her eyes, once peacock blue, now shimmered with a dazzling silver hue. Her delicate body slowly floated upward, and the Celestial Plume in her hand acted like a magic wand, guiding a massive amount of space energy to converge toward her.
At this moment, the entire competition stage seemed to be split in two: one side was a deep purple, and the other was a dazzling silver. The two powerful elements clashed, creating a strange sense of mutual oppression that was truly spectacular. The five-hundred-meter diameter stage looked like a division between two realms, showcasing the formidable strength of both sides. This was no longer the power of the ninth order; there was no doubt that both sides had touched the threshold of divinity, and not any ordinary divinity, at that.
Meng Dede and Meng Deshi also floated up. From the corners of Meng Dede's eyes, faint purple ripples spread outward. His right hand slowly pushed forward, and instantly, the dark power surged and roared, pouring out like a tide, breaking through the center and forcibly crashing into the silver light on the opposite side.
During the confrontation, it became clear to him that while the opponent was powerful, it wasn't domain power, just pure elemental control. The difference between a domain and power that did not condense into a domain was significant. A domain elevated the element that was its attribute, and as an elemental avatar, who had a deeper understanding of elemental control than Meng Dede?
The intense darkness suddenly rushed into the silver area, immediately causing a depression at the center of the silver light. Like a purple-black dragon, it then broke through the center, rampaging forward.
Mei Gongzi's eyes shone with silver light as she waved the Celestial Plume with her right hand. The vast spatial power rippled into many silver rings, enveloping the massive black energy.
One after another, the silver ripples were eroded and disappeared in the darkness, but more silver ripples continued to appear, causing the darkness to quietly disappear. It was as if the dragon was being slowly devoured by space.
The next moment, Mei Gongzi's Celestial Plume suddenly slashed vertically, and instantly, a line of silver light appeared in front of her. The silver light line split space open, revealing a silver portal with splendid light edges.
A similar portal appeared in another place—right behind Meng Dede and Meng Deshi. In the next instant, all the silver light suddenly dispersed, and a silver figure materialized out of thin air, carving out a silver space in the world filled with darkness as it directly appeared behind the two.
A spatial door had been opened within the Dark Domain! And within the space impacted by this door’s energy, the Dark Domain was ineffective!
Even Meng Dede didn't expect Mei Gongzi to choose such a move, but as he sensed the spatial fluctuations behind him, he instantly turned around.
Mei Gongzi had already appeared out of nowhere; the Celestial Plume in her hand transformed into countless energy blades, enveloping Meng Dede and his sister. The vast space power originally on the other side of the stage surged out from the spatial door behind her, fiercely impacting the surrounding dark domain. It forcibly opened up a wide area within the Dark Domain, isolating Meng Dede and his sister from their own domain!
This scene could only be described as miraculous. The audience, who initially didn't think highly of Mei Gongzi and Asura’s chances, couldn't help but gape. With just this move, Mei Gongzi demonstrated her mastery over space, seemingly on par with Meng Dede's control over darkness. It was an incredibly bold and daring move to fight deep within the enemy's domain.
Faced with this situation, Meng Dede didn't panic. He pulled Meng Deshi behind him and grasped the air with his right hand, and a pitch-black long saber appeared in his hand. The blade slashed out, and purple-black saber energy erupted in the air, destroying the silver blades filled with space power. The Dark Domain surged inward, pressuring the space bubble created by Mei Gongzi in order to prevent her from using her full force against Meng Dede. Instead of focusing on attacking, she now had to resist the encroaching dark domain.
