Chapter 3686 Increasingly Dangerous
"Now then…"
After having spread out, Isabe looked at the spheres flying around her.
For some reason, she felt that the number of spheres flying around had considerably increased than five minutes ago. Or was this increase because she was near the inner region of the ind?
In that case, would there be more in the core region of the ind?
Isabe couldn''t tell unless she went and looked at the edges and thecore of the ind.
However, first things were first. She had to capture these small critters before exploring the ind. Out of the thirty-one remaining participants, some may have already sessfully captured at least one, like Hayley.
''Alright, I lost a lot of immortal essence energy, so I''ll go after the martial sphere then…''
Isabe readied herself to lose some limbs.
After all, shewas doneless than fifty percent of her immortal martial energywhile on the other hand,she still possessed a lot of blood essence and limbs to spare.
She concentrated her martial energy at the center of her fist, making it lighter and softeras possible instead of making itdenser. She imagined the feeling of being free instead of wanting to have it all to herself as though carrying the weight of the world.Her imagination consisted of feathers swirling around her fist without the slightest sway in their trajectory, like they were spinning around her in perfect orbit.
*Gasp!~*
Isabe suddenly came out of her reverie as she inhaled a deep breath.
The brownish-goldenrevolving around her fist in a serene mannerabruptly dispersed.
Isabe blinked, having found herself focusing for two minutes straight without having taken a single action. She was covered inperspiration, but she didn''t seem disheartened.In fact,she seemed delighted to be able to apply the practicality of yin to her brute strength.
It was the thing she was worst at, but sheseemed to havefound the right bnce for it.
She closed her eyes and enacted the same, feeling her immortal martial energy revolvearound her fist so smoothly.The thenopened her fist, revealing a palm and kept that same energy flowing around.
She envisioned the method Hayley used and opened her eyes.
Her heart was serene, and her muscles were rxed, remainingabsolutelycalm yet ready to pounce.
The ruby sphere she had locked on before was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there were a few other ruby spheres nearby. She locked on one of them and pounced into the air, gliding into the air as shecame to a stopbefore it.
Her hand reached out as she extended her palmout, producing the lightest and slightest amount of energy possible that wouldn''t even harm a mortal baby. All it would do is sink into their skin and rebound.
Such a tiny and soft energy was unleashed.
*Booom!~*
But the ruby sphere exploded regardless, and Isabe dropped to the ground,nding as she saw her right armhaving explodedup to the torso.Due tothe utter concentration she hadin controlling her immortal martial energy, she didn''t have any barrier put up, so her face and clothes were full of her blood right now.
Her lips twitched from the ring pain sweeping through her right arm, but she didn''t care about it and onlymented the loss of blood essence.However, since this wasn''t her main body, shereallydidn''t feel down.
Nheless, blessed with Emperor-Tier Earth Dragon Blood, her armbegan to regenerateslowly. She would need five minutes to regenerate her armat the very leastand that was too slow, so she had to move towards Frostrose to get herself healed.
"Frostrose, please heal me."
Frostroseturned to lookat Isabe and smiled lightly, raising herownarm as it appeared out of her sleeves.
"…"
Isabe blinked.It seemsFrostrose has also tried to subdue a ruby sphere but failed.But that also meant-
"Have you seeded in subduing the sapphire sphere and white sphere?"
Isabe asked, causing Frostrose to nod as she brought her other arm out of her sleeve and disyed a sapphire sphere.
"Wonderful." Isabe''s expression lit up, "To have subdued a soul sphere, it wouldn''t have been easy."
"Yes, I got my soul injured four times before I was able to seed. If it weren''t for my nirvanic soul, I would look quite miserable…"
Frostrose kept the sapphire sphere back inside before she reached out her hand and began healing Isabe''s arm. Isabe also used her earth energy to increase the rate of healing.She once possessed a Spirit Attribute Sourcethat hadhealing capabilities, so sheprehended healing using Earth Laws, but thatwasn''teffective at her current level.
She made a mental note to learn healing abilities without having to rely on sacrificing her blood essence.
"What about the white essence sphere?"She asked.
Frostrose didn''t open her mouth but nced in another direction.
Isabe followed her gaze and saw merose avidly trying to subdue the white essence sphere.She tried to control her energythroughapplying yin force but her nature and energywas too fiery in nature, making it harder for her to get it under control.
"She seems to have it hard…"
"Yes,"Frostrose responded, "She kept failing at subduing the sapphire soul sphere even after I taught her some tricks, so I told her togotry her chances at the white essence sphere. Since she is taking care of that, I''m here trying my chances at subduing ruby martial spheres."
"I''m not against it.As long aswe can find the correct methods to subdue the sphere and share, all would be good."
Within half a minute, Isabegot herright hand regenerated, so she left and began to try her chances again.
*Booom!~* *Booom!~*
Even having felt that she did better than thest time, Isabe failed two more times and got both her arms exploded.
*Booom!~*
She didn''t give up and kicked it, getting her leg blown up too.
With only a limb, she glided back to Frostrose, appearing stern yetalsoembarrassed.
"If you''re going to be like this, I won''t be responsible if he yells at me."
Frostrose could only shake her head. She called merose toe, and they both healed her together, which took less than a minute.
Isabe was shocked to see merose perform healing capabilities using her phoenix mes. Of course, the phoenix''s nirvanic firewas capable of healing, and even rebirth wasn''t off the table. However, learning to heal using nirvanic mes was another thing altogether.
One was a species'' passive trait, and the other wasprehending a technique.
merose was a magical beast, andmagicalbeasts wouldn''t know how to use techniques most of the time, so thiscame as a surprise toher.
Nheless, getting healed in a minute, shewent backand started using yin force on her earthen martial energy to subdue the ruby martial sphere.
*Booom!~* *Booom!~* *Booom!~* Standing on one leg, Isabe appeared a bit demotivated.
''It''s no use… my earth dragon might is too domineering for it to listen…''
Even if she could control the serenity of the energy, once it was used, they turned into ridiculous tyrantsas they sanktheir teeth into their opponents as though wanting to overwhelm them.
Such a ferocious and mountainous might cause the ruby martial sphere to explode.
At this rate, she didn''t see herself being able to subdue the pigeon egg-sized ruby sphere.
She went back to get healed.
"Yes! I did it!"
At this moment, she heard merose cry out. She appeared to have subdued the white essence sphere, leaving Isabe both pleasantly surprised and disappointed for being unable to subdue the ruby martial sphere. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
*Thump!~*
But suddenly, a plethora of spheressuddenlyshot out from the ground.
"…!"
Isabe, merose, and Frostrosehad their eyes widenat the sudden intrusion of the new spheres.However, what''ssurprising is that these new spheres were of different sizes.
It was the other two types of spheres:one fist-sized and the otherhead-sized.
The fist-sized spheres moved slower than the pigeon egg-sized spheres. On the other hand, the head-sized were even slower, moving at a snail''s pacepared to the other two types of spheres.
"Haha, mine!"
Someone in the distance tried to subdue a head-sized martial sphere.Heattacked it with a sofyer of crimson energy covered aroundhisarm.Judging by his confidence, he seemed to have subdued a pigeon egg-sized ruby sphere, but as soon as his attacknded-
*Booom!~*
His entire right arm shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, seeming to have lost a significant amount of blood essence.
*BOOOOM!~*
Unluckily,there wasa head-sized ruby sphere nearbythat gotcovered in the crimson cloud of gas that appeared, which caused half of his body to explode.Half of his right shoulder was gone, and so were his two legs, perhaps even the third, leaving him with only his head and torso.
Hey on the grassy area that was full of his blood, appearing to gasp for breath as he spat out blood repeatedly.
"…"
Isabe, merose, and Frostrose looked at each other.
Not only were the bigger spheres more powerful in causing damage, but they also appeared to have a chain reaction, exploding the same colored sphere if the cloud that was released upon explosion were toe in contact.
