Chapter 1096 Cerulean Soulgem
“I may be unable to beat you, but I will connive you to death right now!” Xia Fei spat.
Aquamarine’s face began to twist. As she was from a different universe, Aquamarine was different from the sapient lifeforms Xia Fei was used to. Her skin had a bizarrely translucent and faint blue l.u.s.ter.
However, all sapient lifeforms had rather ugly faces when they became angry. That pale blue face turned weird as powerful energy erupted from every inch of Aquamarine’s skin. Xia Fei could sense that this was the result of cultivating both spirit and soul. There was a hair-raising chill to this energy. “Good. Very good! Puny lifeforms, if you think that you have enough power to stop me, then try as much as you like!”
Aquamarine screamed and did something no one had expected. Vast amounts of energy flooded out, like a pressurized wheel suddenly exploding! With a deafening explosion, the surrounding trees were cut down and the earth was sundered!
Raising an eyebrow, Xia Fei shouted, “She wants to escape! Hurry up and strike!”
*Whoosh_*
Uns
The movements of experts were basically unseeable, only leaving a few blurry afterimages. The four experts converged on Aquamarine from four directions, while Xia Fei grabbed Furball and jumped into the air.
With his sharp judgment, Xia Fei had realized that Aquamarine’s sudden release of energy was not some expression of rage but rather an attempt to create chaos, using that chance to escape. The experts covered the four sides, so Aquamarine was likely to choose up or down!
Sure enough,
As Xia Fei jumped up, Aquamarine disappeared from the ground!
She was not a fool. She knew that these were four masters, four patriarchs even! They would never fight alone. In places that she could not see, there were undoubtedly even more experts, forming a second and even third encirclement! Xia Fei’s vivid performance had been for no other reason than to give them time to lay down their trap! After all, this battle was very far from the site he had planned, and he needed to set everything up again. “Oh, no! She went underground!” Radix shouted.
“Don’t worry! Whether it’s sky or earth, Aquamarine can’t run away!” Xia Fei replied.
Only then did Radix notice that, though Xia Fei had flown in the air, Immemorial Mystical Armament Peac.o.c.k Blue had not followed him. The giant blades of gra.s.s, each more than ten kilometers long, had cunningly hidden underneath the surface! It turned out that Xia Fei had already laid down countermeasures!
Peac.o.c.k Blue was of the Plant Element, and the Plant Element used the earth as its foundation, a master of underground combat! “Flip it over!”
Xia Fei roared, and the thirteen blades of Peac.o.c.k Blue crazily writhed, acting like thirteen giant snakes as they rapidly dug through the earth and flung it all into the air!
*Rumble!*
Such power! dozens of furrows, several kilometers deep, instantly appeared, all of them the work of Peac.o.c.k Blue’s frenzied attack!
*Bang!*
Aquamarine flew out of the earth, and behind her was a pack of snakes! Peac.o.c.k Blue had forced the woman back to the surface!
“This is the plant-type mystical armament that you look down on! I’m going to show you its true strength now!”
Xia Fei swung White Dragon’s Screech while the four peak experts used their own moves, forcing Aquamarine into a narrow area.
The battle had been one-sided from the very start!
Just as Aqumarine said, Peac.o.c.k Blue, which had given Xia Fei healing abilities, was the only one among the Five Elements that could not be used in battle. Xia Fei could not use this power in battle, but he could use it as the foundation for his own power!
If Xia Fei were not a healer, Great Master Spiritualist Fuchen would not be so taken by him, even considering taking him as his last disciple.
If Xia Fei were not a healer, he would never have an irreplaceable status in the clan, such that Patriarch Wistful Heizus would resist the pressure of those old softies in the clan to act on his behalf!
If Xia Fei were not a healer, Tong Star Pavilion’s master, Tong Jinliang, would never make an exception by standing on his side. If he had not used his healing powers to heal the injuries of the Venus of Eternal Night’s patriarch, Cloud Night, this stubborn donkey would never pay Xia Fei the slightest attention!
Aquamarine was not wrong.
Healing was indeed not an offensive power, but it could subdue the hearts of others! It could make more experts gather at Xia Fei’s side. One person might have limited power, but a group of them could unleash such strength that even the infamous Wanderer, Aquamarine, would be forced into dire straits!
This was a heavenly ability! It may not have been very useful to the loner Aquamarine, but with his well-developed mind, Xia Fei could do many unthinkable things!
The era of fighting alone was a thing of the past, and when facing a stronger enemy, fighting them in groups was the way!
*Rumble!*
Fierce!
Indescribably fierce!
The formidable Aquamarine was fighting to a draw against the four peak experts and Xia Fei, fighting across the heavens and earths, from the abyss all the way to the stars!
At this level, a single move was enough to wreak havoc!
Once one had finished cultivating the body and obtained a Soul Mark, an expert could call themselves a Founder!
They could create worlds and could also destroy worlds!
“Insane! These people are too insane!” While fighting, Xia Fei mentally cried in shock. He was a madman through and through, so for him to say such a thing, it was truly rare!
Radix said excitedly, “Remember: These are the peak experts of the Alpha Universe! Those guys without Soul Marks in the Law Realm are just too weak! At this level, when you attack, you use Soul Power and dark energy-powers that surpa.s.ses human imagination!”
Xia Fei firmly nodded. To tell the truth, one could not watch these inhuman experts using one’s eyes. They would not any particularly flashy moves, but with a wave of their hands, energy that could shatter galaxies would erupt, and the stars would dim.
The battle reminded Xia Fei of those legends of Founder G.o.ds who could singlehandedly create worlds and reverse heaven and hearth.
The ground was too confined a s.p.a.ce for this battle, so the battle had long ago gone from Garde 83 to s.p.a.ce.
True experts had surpa.s.sed life and death and could travel through the stars without combat armor. Gravity? Vacuum? They could all screw off!
The ultimate power of life could surpa.s.s all common understanding. Even terrifying black holes could not stop these G.o.dly warriors.
The attackers were Xia Fei and four peak experts, but in farther off areas, there were even more experts in reserve, ready to charge onto the battlefield at any time.
While battling, Xia Fei observed the moves of these experts, taking advantage of this rare opportunity. There were many times where battle was not just about techniques, but also about experience. Seeing all these peak experts fighting on the same battlefield was undoubtedly a good thing for Xia Fei.
Xia Fei quickly discovered that the stronger the expert, the simpler the move. On many occasions, it was more a contest of cultivation than skill.
At this level, ordinary tricks rarely had a lethal effect. They contested each other in cultivation and energy reserve!
Especially energy! These old fellows all had absurd energy levels! energy was the foundation of combat, and the higher one’s rank, the greater one’s energyreserve. It was no wonder Origin Crystals were no longer the primary energy vessels used in the Alpha Universe. Such fierce battles far surpa.s.sed the capacity of Origin Crystals. Other than the three highest-tier crystals, the Alpha Universes really did not use Origin energy. They mostly used Soul Power and the mysterious dark energy.
As the battle dragged on, Aquamarine began to feel an immense pressure; from start up to this moment, she had not once gained the upper hand in this battle.
“Cerulean Soulgem!” Almost driven mad by desperation, Aquamarine suddenly shouted this.
“Watch out! That move of hers is very formidable! She used that very same move on me and managed to injure me!” warned Cloud Night in an even louder voice.
Aquamarine’s body began to transform, as mysterious energy seeped out of her body and gathered around her.

Even more bizarre was that this energy was hardening, becoming crystal!
Be it Origin energy, which signified positive energy, or Soul Power, which signified dark energy, both were formless! But how could a formless energy take on a physical form?!
Xia Fei was surprised by what he saw while the other experts, excluding Cloud Night, frowned. The cerulean crystal continued to expand, gradually taking a form that left Xia Fei shocked, for this was a human form! It was a little girl of about six or seven years old, and while it was rather distinct, it had all the features of a sapient lifeform!
“Don’t be fooled! That girl is vicious. The strange blue crystal is meant to distract you. The moment you drop your guard, you’ll be wounded by a powerful energy!” Cloud Night had experienced Aquamarine’s moves before and shouted in warning.
‘Is that blue translucent person Aquamarine’s clone?’ Xia Fei wondered.
As he was thinking of this, Aurora Clan Patriarch Wistful Heizus unleashed a fierce soul attack on the blue crystal!
*Rumble!*
There was an explosion of light, but the crystal was unharmed!
“Such a formidable energy vessel! That’s no ordinary energy!” Xia Fei gasped mentally.
It must be understood that this was Aurora Horizon! The strongest Soul Hunter technique of the Aurora Clan, yet this Great Soul Hunter Art could not damage this ceruleancrystal at all. Its toughness had reached a terrifying level! “Huh?” Wistful Heizus seemed to be very surprised over his attack not even inflicting any damage on the ceruleancrystal’s surface. He then went slightly pale out of embarra.s.sment. Cloud Night shouted, “I told you to ignore her! That thing is very weird. No attacks work on it! Get ready and focus! It’ll start moving soon, and its combat power is no laughing matter! If we can’t kill Aquamarine before that blue crystal finishes forming, we’ll all be in danger!” Cloud Night sweated hard. He knew how terrifying that blue crystal in human form was, and so he unleashed 200% of his power at Aquamarine.
Alas, his warning was inaccurate, for before he even finished speaking, that human-shaped ceruleancrystal had already started to move!
