The Innkeeper

Chapter 1269 Tsunami

Chapter 1269 Tsunami

War raged all around Lex, destructive on a level that he could not even comprehend. Heaven immortals alone had a mastery of laws so intricate while simultaneously so immense that Lex could not even understand what was happening.

Reality was akin to a drug induced hallucination, except the monsters in this situation were quite real.

Sekhmet made no move, and continued to consolidate her power, and the Dao Lords of the Origin realm made no move either. For them getting rid of Sekhmet, now that they had discovered her, was akin to a flick of a finger. The problem was that the repercussions of that finger flick might extend to a lot more than just Sekhmet herself.

One of the reasons why the Innkeeper was never prosecuted for using his powers in the Origin realm was that he had such fine control over his power that it did not negatively impact the realm at all. Secondly, it was a display of power so immense that it gave the Henali genuine doubt about whether they could handle him or not.

In such a situation, considering how amicable the Innkeeper was, it was best to push matters under the rug. But even among Dao Lords, not everyone had such precise control of their powers. It was like trying to use the heat from a nuclear explosion to heat up cold pizza. Theoretically it was a possibility, given that the circumstances were just right. Practically, no one dared to try it out themselves.

So an impasse formed between the beings of Dao, while those below that realm fought desperately, trying to change the tide of battle in their favor.

The most frustrating, tragic thing for Lex was that among all those present, he was one of the weakest, so he could not actually go out and fight. He had so much anger bubbling within him, but nowhere to vent it.

Lex had just undergone the greatest powerup in his entire life, and then walked into a battlefield where he was the weakest. Once more, after a very long time, he was hit with that same feeling he had when he started cultivating.

Then the army of dragons let loose their Dragon Fire.

The eyes suddenly narrowed, and used some of their powers, though they didn't rely on the Dao just yet. As long as she didn't use the Dao, the Henali wouldn't either. The moment she tried, she would see a true retribution. So she was limited to using her strength without the influence of Dao.

A tsunami of Dragon Fire swept across the Origin realm, burning everything hostile in its path. Even a star dared not shine its light on a being of Dao, yet the Dragon Fire of an army of dragons targeted her directly. Of course, it never reached her. All those that Sekhmet had protected were also well.

But the dragons had only just begun. They raced forward, the single greatest fighting force in the entire Origin realm.

Lex had heard on multiple occasions that the only reason that dragons were weak was because their arrogance did not let them work together. Well seeing them work together now, Lex genuinely believed that even the Henali might not be able to tame this realm if the dragons worked together like this all the time.

The countless wyverns behind Sekhmet trembled in sight of their superiors. Even though all of them were destined for death anyway, which meant there was nothing left to lose, they felt fear nonetheless.

The tide was almost completely turned. Just the arrival of the dragons nearly granted them victory. Fahad and Noor were getting ready to trap Sekhmet's eyes.

But Sanguis Pluvia was not without allies of its own. The darkness of space rippled, and from within stepped forth a Jorlam. Then, there was another.

The fight was just beginning.
