Chapter 1757: 501 Chapter Legends (II)

Shi Hui initially chose to drag the Sea Demon King Xiang Liu into this Bubble Microcosm, based on a plan pre-designed by the Divination Group, using legend against legend to avoid excessively high combat power affecting the stability of the Black Prison’s main battlefield.

But evidently.

While demons were attacking the Black Prison, and wizards were executing their own plans, the Sea Demon King also had its own ideas — and its ideas were not entirely aligned with those of the demons under its command, which was entirely unexpected by the wizards.

Like a minotaur standing in the arena, swinging a totem pole at the gray wolf opposite, yet its eyes looked elsewhere, turning its head, sharp horns pointed in other directions.

This choice was very torn apart.

Neither wizard.

Nor demon.

For example, the Sea Demon King did not engage in a head-to-head fight with Vice Principal Shi Hui as predicted by the wizards. The Divination Group modeled countless possibilities and judged that if Xiang Liu appeared on the Black Prison battlefield and was intercepted by other legends, a battle would inevitably break out.

But now, this snake with nine heads preferred to sacrifice one head and part of its body, using its labyrinth domain to distance itself from Shi Hui, rather than fighting head-on, which was very odd.

Furthermore, the Sea Demon King paid a price far beyond what the wizards imagined for this battle — it sacrificed one of its own heads.

The prisoners of the Black Prison World are important, as is the Xuanhuang Fruit. But to the Sea Demon King, who is at the Legendary Peak and selfish and cunning, neither those ant-like subordinates nor the Xuanhuang Fruit, which has no effect on legends, are worth exchanging for a head.

Shi Hui did not believe the Sea Demon King suddenly changed its personality, becoming a Buddha feeding hawks with its flesh and sucking sores for its subordinates.

‘What is its real plot?’

‘Is it really right to keep it here?’

‘What did it see in the future?’

Many thoughts flashed through the witch’s mind, which she immediately extinguished; with a formidable enemy ahead, there was no room for wild thoughts. Ignoring the sixteen flashing ‘stars’ in the void, calming down, Shi Hui realized she must not be led by her opponent.

No matter how many heads and thoughts you have, I’ll cut them off one by one, and that surely won’t be wrong!

Seemingly sensing the killing intent in the witch’s thoughts.

Deep within the Microcosm.

The Sea Demon King, entrenched in darkness and silence, slightly swayed its body, its enormous true form stirring up ripples across tens of thousands of miles of void, the sixteen ‘stars’ shining unevenly, locking onto the tiny witch before it, violently flooding her with thoughts like a tide:

“Kill me?”

“With just you?!!”

Accompanied by these furious thoughts, the sixteen ‘stars’ flared up brightly like beacons, guiding the projection of the starlight from the real world outside the void to fall down.

In an instant, the originally dark, silent Microcosm lit up with boundless radiant colors.

Immeasurable starlight, with those sixteen ‘stars’ as the core, interconnected, in an instant formed a ‘Zhou Tian Star Battle Array Map’, sharp starlights from all directions shot like arrows straight at the witch in the center of the array map. Many asteroids that had long died shown under the starlight, but then quickly disintegrated into ashes.

Shi Hui flipped open the law book in front of her, quickly sketching on the blank page with her fingers, while sharply reprimanding:

“Cold moon and warm sun, intending to boil human longevity!”

“Where is the deity? How is Taiyi?”

The questioning, almost mocking spell echoed clearly in the Sea Demon King’s ears, and under the questioning voice, the starlight above flickered violently, the ‘Zhou Tian Star Battle Array’ covering the witch momentarily appeared with patches of darkness, like a fishing net with large holes torn in it.

The starlight falling on the witch’s head became sparse and was easily blocked.

Immediately afterward, a five-colored radiance burst around the witch, wrapping her, forming a mass that shot up, instantly breaking through the starry light array set up by the Sea Demon King.

Passive defense was not Shi Hui’s fighting style.

But wanting to hang this giant serpent up and beat it was not easy. At the very least, she couldn’t follow its combat rhythm. She had to drive it away from the established Array.

Upon leaving the starry light array, the witch once again flipped through the law book, writing a large ‘Retreat’ character on the blank page, and tiny black runes crawled down from the ‘Retreat’ character like ants, onto the void, interlinking to form rows of spells:

“Things cannot long remain in their place!”

“Those wounded outside must return to their home!”

“Things cannot end robust!”

“Eight heads intersect, the Dao exhausted must disobey!”

With each incantation, the Sea Demon King residing within the starlight was forced to leave the array beneath it, its massive figure shrinking suddenly like a deflated balloon, and at the same time, its remaining eight heads went berserk, tearing at each other, reflected outside by the sixteen ‘stars’ suddenly leaving their original orbit, colliding, splattering brilliant glows like solar flares.

Whether it was the Sea Demon King’s blood or its dissipated magic power, was unclear.

In what felt like a blink of an eye, the offense and defense swapped positions, and the vice-principal of the First University regained her home-field advantage, suppressing the Sea Demon King.

Of course, Shi Hui did not expect a few spells to crush her opponent. Just as the labyrinth domain the Sea Demon King created for her earlier, those spells just barely dampened the opponent’s arrogance.

But once again, the Sea Demon King made a move that the witch could not comprehend.

Snap! Snap!

Two crisp explosions followed, and in the void, two more ‘stars’ abruptly shattered, and eerie magic spread from all directions, igniting the magic flowing above the starry sky array.

The witch felt a slight tremor in the five-colored radiance around her and frowned slightly, attempting to lift her arm to turn the law book again. But her entire being seemed trapped in a gel, every movement slow and arduous.

This was the Power of Time!

Xiang Liu sacrificed another head?

Just to arrange a fight, is it so necessary?

Has it grown tired of living?

Thoughts flashed one after another in her mind. If the first head sacrifice was to break the witch’s home-field advantage, then after establishing the starry light array, Xiang Liu had already set up part of the home field, freeing itself from the greatest danger.

Recently, those few spells merely embarrassed it like a dog without a home, not truly threatening its life, so why sacrifice a second head?

Just to take a small scoop of ‘water’ from the river of time and space and splash it on itself?

No, it can’t be that simple.

While struggling to move her arms, wrists, and fingers amidst time fluctuations, the witch thought rapidly. At that moment, the entire Microcosm shook violently like a boiling pot, a black shadow flashed, Shi Hui’s face wore an astonished expression, and then her entire being, along with the crystal-clear Power of Time, shattered with a crash.
