Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1889: Sophie’s Skyhammer

Chapter 1889: Sophies Skyhammer

Copious amounts of ice essence energy began to fill the space within the five-kilometer ice domain belonging to Mu Bing before the piercing armaments could reach her, solidifying as they turned into icy walls.

*Puchi!~*

The thousands of armaments pierced through like cutting tofu, making Mu Bing’s eyes widen to the sharpness of Sophie’s armaments. Clearly, her knowledge of Fire Laws, Forging, and Inscriptions have all vastly improved since they met.

Her icy sapphire eyes shone with a challenging glint before she strengthened the density of her icy walls. The piercing armaments that were making their way through the icy walls by penetrating them with cracking sounds stopped abruptly, their flames receding as they became frozen.

However, Sophie didn’t look surprised. She knew this would happen and summoned another volley of top-tier blazing armaments, each of them more powerful than the other as they aligned in a straight line instead of spreading all over. The scorching flames of the armaments from front to back became connected as though they were a single entity, launching themselves against Mu Bing as Sophie heavily waved her frail hand.

’Domain Piercer!~’

Mu Bing’s eyes sharply narrowed as she could see through the pure ice that was completely transparent. The broken glaciers impeded her gaze, but her senses perceived imminent danger coming from the unique alignment of the flaming spears.

*Puchi!~*

Sophie waved her hand and sent the array of spears at Mu Bing. They ended up crashing into the icy wall and penetrated the glaciers, exploding a large part of their icy body. The first few spears were expended earlier, shattering within the icy ruins before the other spears crashed and continuously broke through the icy walls made in the five-kilometer domain.

It was like an icy blue shooting star making its way towards Mu Bing, piercing through whatever dense obstacle it came across in its path.

*Bang!~*

Mu Bing’s dark blue hair stood on end as the last icy wall was broken through. She slightly moved to the left when the last spear abruptly shot past her, missing her by a slight margin and stabbed into an icy wall behind her, although it got some strand of her dark blue hair.

Mu Bing turned to look at Sophie and saw her eyes were narrowed as though she was deeply smiling behind her veil.

"I haven’t used my Ice Smiting Aurora yet." Mu Bing felt compelled to elaborate.

"I know," Sophie giggled, "But last time, I wasn’t able to pierce through with these techniques, you know."

"It doesn’t necessarily say you’re stronger than me." Mu Bing shook her head, appearing to disagree, "Hayou Azureclaw’s attacks were stronger, but he wasn’t able to cleave through my Ice Smiting Aurora that has vastly improved from the last time we battled."

"It’s not like I don’t have another new technique for you..."

"Oh...?"

Mu Bing became astonished as her brows widened before she looked composed.

"Well, if you think that I have only defensive techniques to use against you, then you’re going to be hurt."

"Hehe~ Thanks for the heads up!"

Sophie giggled, clasping her hands together as her fiery essence energy derived from the circulation of the Grand Skyfire Hammer Canon surged through her meridians, fueling her domain which in turn created a giant stick that had a brick with elongated ends on top of its head, creating a large hammer that intensely pressured Mu Bing, making her clench her fists.

However, she disappeared from the scene, causing Sophie to narrow her eyes.

"Illusion..."

Sophie became solemn as her smile faded. Mu Bing’s defense alone was hard to penetrate, and now she goes missing in action as well?

She knew that Mystic Ice Sect disciples train in Illusion Laws, but Mu Bing didn’t seem to be proficient in it so far, nor had she heard any news about her having an Illusion Domain.

Sophie prepared for the worst and spread her hands.

"Hmph! You leave me no choice!"

Abruptly, hundreds and thousands of needles appeared in her fiery armament perfect domain. The gleaming state of those fiery needles instantly made the people gasp, wondering if Sophie was going to do what they thought when she abruptly unleashed a terrifying wave of needles in all directions.

*Whiz!~*

The space or the air seemed to become heavy from the scorching heat spreading all over. The people went pale or aghast, imagining themselves in that situation where they could accidentally get pierced by hundreds of needles that would burn almost all their meridians, making them into a cripple, perhaps even cause death.

*Tatata!~*

And just as they feared for Mu Bing, some fiery needles instantly got stuck in empty space, but they turned out to be icy walls.

However...

*Tatata!~* *Tatata!~* *Tatata!~*

All the fiery needles began to be stopped by an icy enclosure of walls that surrounded her, practically trapping her inside.

Sophie looked shocked, thinking this was not possible, when she suddenly realized.

’This is... the illusion type that affects everyone’s vision and senses...!’

"You cast an illusion technique on me before you started using your illusion domain, didn’t you?"

"Indeed. You’re already in my Perfect Illusion Domain, Sophie..."

A melodious voice resounded from all sides, causing Sophie to clench her teeth.

She couldn’t imagine how Mu Bing could have got this far when she had trained gruesomely after Davis almost died. Did Mu Bing go through the same gruesome training, or was she more talented than her? Perhaps, gained more resources than her from that Myria that her man was wary about?

’Fine... I’ll show you my Grand Skyfire Hammer Canon’s true prowess...!’

Sophie inhaled a deep breath with her mouth as the fiery energy surrounding her began to visualize.

’Clearing all chaotic distractions and bringing forth immaculate concentration, Clear Sky Hammer Smite!’

Sophie held the Skyhammer she conjured through her essence energy a while back before she struck, bringing it down. When the hammer seemed as though it struck the surface, it abruptly encompassed the surrounding world as spatial cracks began to appear.

*Bang!~*

The encompassing icy walls surrounding Sophie shattered like glass which wasn’t possible unless...

’She broke my illusion...!’

Mu Bing’s shock was uncontrollable as she flinched in retreat. She was so close to Sophie, wanting to deal the last blow, but she didn’t expect Sophie to have such a counterattack that could break her illusion.

Simultaneously, Sophie saw Mu Bing. There were no icy walls, much less an array of needles. All had been her illusion except the Skyhammer she summoned before the illusion was probably cast. However, what came into her view on top of the five-kilometer icy-blue domain was a purplish-white illusion domain that filled three kilometers.

Only the powerhouses were aware of what was going on, seeing the battle clearly, knowing when Mu Bing used her formless illusion. However, even certain average powerhouses like average Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses didn’t seem to pick that up and remained clueless, acting as though they had seen everything like the other powerhouses.

’This is going to difficult than I thought...’

Sophie couldn’t help but wryly giggle.

What she used to break the illusion was a supporting technique, no, a blacksmithing technique to create extraordinary armaments, but as its side-effect, it always helped her clear her mind and concentrated more on forging the armament, although it tended to rapidly spend her psyche, making her feel tired if she were to use it a few more times.

She took up her Skyhammer, looking ready to break Mu Bing’s defense!
