Chapter 2287 2287. Relentless
"He looks strong," Alexander announced while inspecting the Rulers' Resolve.
"He would be already dead if I could express my true potential," Supreme Thief snorted.
"You said that twenty times already," Great Builder sighed before taking a deep breath to stabilize his condition.
The three experts had yet to resume their battle. A lot had happened since Alexander and the others had decided to join the major fights. The Rulers' Resolve had also been quite captivated by those events, so he didn't force his opponents' hand.
Still, Noah's side had no time to waste, so the three experts eventually accepted that they had to attack again. Their opponent was their only real problem. The Rulers' Resolve appeared truly powerful.
"Did you even recover enough to fight?" Supreme Thief asked.
"That doesn't matter right now," Alexander replied. "We have to kill some of the leaders before Heaven and Earth break free."
"We are about to argue, aren't we?" Great Builder cursed.
"His existence is mine," Supreme Thief exclaimed. "I want his resolve to complete my breakthrough."
"I knew it," Great Builder sighed.
"You can take the nature of his world," Alexander stated, "But I want the energy inside it. I need it for my breakthrough."
"Only the energy?" Supreme Thief questioned. "Are you trying to trick me?"
"Only the energy," Alexander confirmed. "My existence doesn't need anything else. I'm ready to reach the peak."
"I can agree with that," Supreme Thief declared.
"We have a deal," Alexander declared.
"That went better than I expected," Great Builder revealed. "Well, shall we do this?"
"I believe tricks won't work against this one," Alexander guessed.
"His world isn't something we can overcome through strategy," Great Builder explained.
"That's perfect," Alexander announced.
Supreme Thief smirked, and Great Builder heaved a sigh. The three experts had reached a silent understanding, and they didn't hesitate to unleash it.
Alexander and Supreme Thief shot forward. Their auras surged as different abilities formed around their figures. Alexander covered himself in giant and fiery snake-like creatures, while Supreme Thief shone with azure light as multiple mirrors materialized in his surroundings.
The snake-like creatures left Alexander as soon as the Rulers' Resolve entered his range. Those attacks shot forward and separated to encircle the privileged cultivator before crashing on him from different directions.
Supreme Thief's mirror didn't stay still during his companion's offensive. They also shot forward and surrounded the Rulers' Resolve before gathering energy. Their structure collapsed to transform into flashing spheres that unleashed powerful detonation.
The Rulers' Resolve surrounded himself with an array of grey spheres while his opponents' attacks approached him. The ability launched countless rays of energy meant to destroy the incoming offensive, but yellow barriers appeared on their path and hindered their advance.
The grey rays pierced the barriers while losing energy during the process. That hindrance allowed the azure explosions to overwhelm them and engulf the Rulers' Resolve in violent currents.
The snake-like creatures arrived right after. They crashed on the Rulers' Resolve and filled that part of the void with scarlet shades. That color was so intense that many weaker experts had to divert their gazes and retrieve their mental waves to avoid suffering injuries.
A grey explosion soon overwhelmed the scarlet color and filled the void with a vast domain. The Rulers' Resolve appeared became visible again, and his opponents smirked at the sight of the fuming burns on his body.
Nevertheless, those injuries healed in no time while the Rulers' Resolve transformed his domain into a series of currents that started blowing around him.
Supreme Thief and Alexander didn't let the Rulers' Resolve prepare his offensive. They shot forward and surrounded themselves with different techniques as they dived inside the storms.
The grey currents tried to destroy those techniques, but yellow barriers appeared around Supreme Thief and Alexander and allowed them to pierce those attacks without wasting energy.
The two experts soon reached the Rulers' Resolve and unleashed their techniques. A raging fire and a series of ethereal punches landed on the privileged cultivator, who could only rely on his innate defenses to endure the attacks.
Of course, those innate defenses couldn't do much against Supreme Thief and Alexander. The two experts had already proven themselves able to stand their ground against Heaven and Earth's leaders, and that exchange only added proof to that claim.
The Rulers' Resolve saw large patches of his body vanishing under the enemy offensive. Vast injuries opened while he tried his best to preserve his figure, but nothing in his power seemed able to help.
Supreme Thief and Alexander seized that chance. They summoned another round of attacks, and Great Builder didn't refrain from sending supportive techniques in their direction.
Alexander and Supreme Thief seemed to reach a silent understanding. They both unleashed techniques involving lightning bolts to dig deep into the Rulers' Resolve's existence.
Black and azure lightning bolts crashed on the Rulers' Resolve and filled his body with holes. He wanted to fight back, but yellow patches of energy materialized before every tinge of power that he tried to summon.
The incredible offensive didn't end there. Supreme Thief and Alexander were relentless. They unleashed a third wave of attacks with high piercing properties. The Rulers' Resolve could only suffer injuries under that assault, and his body soon lost any traces of its humanoid shape.
Supreme Thief and Alexander wouldn't let that damage reassure them. They had to be ruthless beyond reason against such a powerful opponent, so they quickly prepared a fourth wave of attacks.
However, the Rulers' Resolve suddenly went dark. His energy condensed in a realm that his opponents couldn't sense, but that didn't stop their offensive anyway.
Supreme Thief and Alexander unleashed their attacks, but their senses wavered when the Rulers' Resolve voiced a deafening cry. A monstrous shout left his maimed mouth, and a dense wave of energy accompanied his voice.
The wave of energy was so dense that it gained solid properties. The shout was so loud that Supreme Thief and Alexander had to summon more techniques to defend their senses.
The soundwave made Supreme Thief and Alexander lose control of their techniques for a second. Only Great Builder could retain his concentration, but his barriers alone couldn't stop the dense energy expanding from the privileged cultivator's figure.
The attack ended up flinging Supreme Thief and Alexander away, other than destroying their attacks. The two experts saw injuries opening on their bodies, but they managed to retreat before they could become too severe.
The two experts eventually materialized next to Great Builder, where they inspected their opponent. The Rulers' Resolve was still shouting, and the same went for his expanding energy. His reserves appeared boundless due to how relentlessly his domain expanded, but the three didn't show any fear at that sight.
"Do not underestimate my world!" The Rulers' Resolve shouted in his new, monstrous voice. "I wield the determination that has created the greatest existence in this realm. I won't shatter so easily!"
"He is really tough," Alexander commented before showing a smirk. "I can't wait to eat him."
"His existence will be a great addition to my collection," Supreme Thief added.
Great Builder wanted to say something, but silver light suddenly flashed in a distant area of the higher plane and claimed his attention. His companions also turned to inspect Sword Saint's heated battle against the old man. The two were going all-out, and the entire world was experiencing their might.
"The maniac might beat us to it," Supreme Thief declared.
"Let's finish this with the next attack," Alexander suggested.
"Fine by me," Great Builder responded.
