At this moment, they regretted it immensely! Had they known this would happen, they would never have doubted the emissary's instructions! No one expected this woman in white to be so defiant, daring to fight even a deity!
However, the next second…
"Zzzzlap…"
A sharp clang of metal striking metal echoed, piercing and agitated!
Within the light pink glow, a silver-white long sword suddenly blazed! As it collided with the long spike, it surprisingly held its ground, not yielding in the slightest!
The two forces clashed directly, neither willing to back down. For a time, it was impossible to tell who was weaker or stronger! Two extremely fast streams of light flickered in mid-air, accompanied by incessant, ear-piercing sounds. The power of rules vibrated the air, distorting the nest, leaving everyone present breathless…
Until one of the women with a cold expression stared intently at the sky and murmured in a daze!
"Is this… rules?"
"Nonsense! Could such a powerful fluctuation be caused by anything other than rules?"
The woman beside her clutched her chest, feeling a pang of discomfort! No matter how powerful she was, she felt on the verge of fainting from the strain! The power of rules was not something just anyone could withstand!
The cold-faced woman shook her head and pointed to the sky…
"I'm not talking about the emissary, I'm talking about that woman!"
Instantly, everyone looked up, gazing intently!
Even the two emissaries who had been watching with disdain paused for a moment before turning their heads to look.
After a long while…
The battle remained inconclusive, with neither side gaining the upper hand!
Yet, the two clear beams of light repeatedly clashing captivated everyone's attention!
A certain phrase inevitably surfaced in their minds!
"That which can collide with rules can only be rules themselves!"
Such was the immense power of rules that no other force in the entire universe could compare. It was for this reason that the Divine Temple stood above all beings and powerful entities in the cosmos. For only deities controlled the rules!
However, the light pink power before them, clashing with the white rules wielded by the emissary, was not at a disadvantage! There was no other explanation for this.
Therefore, was that woman also from the Divine Temple?
This was precisely what the emissary fighting Jin Bao'er wanted to know most!
The power of rules, used by a mere human woman? Although her skill didn't match his and she was less proficient, she had managed to hold out until now. How could he not be shocked?
The next second, he exerted immense force, his expression…
"How can a mere ant like you wield the power of a deity?"
A colossal force slammed down, plunging her vision into darkness. She was thrown backward uncontrollably, her shoulder numbing from the impact, her hand almost losing its grip on the sword!
"CRASH!!"
As she landed, she carved a two-meter-deep gouge into the top of the nest, the earth-shattering impact echoing loudly! It hurt so much she gasped!
Then, she struggled to withdraw her foot, inwardly marveling at the true power of this pseudo-deity! She had used all her Great Dao power, and by the rules of the Great Dao, she should have won, but she had lost due to insufficient control.
She took a deep breath, contemplating her next move. It seemed a direct confrontation was out of the question, and the people below showed no inclination to cooperate… were they just going to watch her fight alone? She turned and said irritably.
"Had enough watching?"
The more than a dozen women merely stared at her with complex expressions, making no move.
"That… they shouldn't be fake!"
This was because only emissaries of the Divine Temple could wield the power of rules! This could not be faked. As for why she could also use it… they had no idea.
Jin Bao'er was speechless, had they not heard a word she had said? Even if the power of rules could prove identity, the criteria for selecting the Saintess were clearly flawed. Even they could see that, so why were they hesitating?
As she frowned, her gaze suddenly fell upon the three cubic blocks not far away…
What was the point of saying more? If they chose to stay, that was their decision. Further words were useless!
With that, she looked at Gu Luoxian… and gestured with her eyes!
Shall we go?
Gu Luoxian had already been stunned by her incredibly brilliant display of rule power! Seeing her expression, she immediately nodded! Her eyes lit up!
Receiving affirmation, Jin Bao'er hesitated no longer!
Turning, she drew her long sword, her entire body suddenly erupting in a massive light pink glow, and charged at her opponent again…
The emissary who had just blasted Jin Bao'er away saw her standing firmly on the nest, showing no signs of injury, and his eyebrows twitched violently! He was already shocked!
Recalling the words the Divine Temple had spoken, he finally began to understand! Perhaps those words were true all along, and they didn't need to expend such effort searching for world destiny! Such a Saintess… might actually exist!
When he snapped back to reality, the astonishing light pink glow struck again. The vast and boundless power of rules condensed into a single point, so blinding that everyone was forced to close their eyes…
The strong wind blew away her veil, revealing her astonishing beauty beneath! Unbelievably beautiful…
At this moment, her eyes were filled with coldness and determination!
He came back to his senses and quickly dodged, instinctively wanting to say something, but then realized that his previous actions had caused a misunderstanding. The best course of action now was to subdue this woman!
So, he raised his hand, intending to draw a cage on the ground to trap her…
But only felt his hand grasp empty air!
The person was gone!
As the light was about to dissipate, he couldn't help but open his eyes immediately. Before him, there was nothing. He lowered his gaze, just in time to see Jin Bao'er pulling another woman, jumping onto a cubic block, and vanishing without a trace…
Yes! In almost an instant, she had stolen the teleportation block and escaped from their sight!
Even more terrifying was that she had learned how to use the teleportation block after seeing him use it only once!
That was an exclusive mode of transportation for the divine race! It was also a divine artifact that only the divine race could control! This woman… could use it in one go?
The coldness on his face twitched slightly. He had a feeling he had found someone extraordinary!
On the other side, in a corner of the universe, a cubic block capable of holding three to five people was moving at high speed. Two extremely beautiful young girls stood within the frame…
One of them had her hands on the transparent block, concentrating intensely on controlling something! A hint of strangeness flickered in her eyes from time to time.
Gu Luoxian stood in place, looking at the suddenly shrinking cubic block, then at the mysterious woman beside her who seemed so familiar with all this, and swallowed hard…
"I say… you're not by any chance from the divine race, are you?"
After all, in the history of the universe she had learned, the divine race was a mysterious and supreme race, usually staying within the Divine Temple and not appearing unless the universe faced a crisis! Because of this, very few people in the entire universe had ever seen the true appearance of the divine race, with only a few secretly left behind portraits…
