Chapter 1800 Key

Liz and Graham were saved at the last moment by defensive techniques they had received from both Bai Jingshen and Scarlet.

The appearance of the images of two Immortal figures sent waves of awe-inspiring sensations throughout the crowd. The behemoth of the face of the White Tiger and the fabulous wings of the Immortal Phoenix made the people temporarily forget that they had just seen another such image right before even.

The Dragon Emperor saw the two images, and completely ignored the wings of the Phoenix and instead looked at the White Tiger's face.

Both fear and anger roiled his face as the last thing he wanted to see in this war was the face of the one who would fulfill the prophecy.

Even before anyone had come back from their shock, the Dragon Emperor poured more Immortal Qi into the Noble Dragon Spear and sent out another bolt of lightning toward Liz.

As an Immortal, there was only so much help one could provide in the lower realms before the Heavens of the lower realm decided that you were meddling in the business of those that did not concern you.

As such, neither Bai Jingshen nor Scarlet was capable of providing too much help even just defensively. Bai Jingshen had been able to provide 3 such defensive measures, and Scarlet had been able to provide just 2.

As for who those 5 were going to be, it was unanimously chosen to be people who simply could not die. As Alex's father and aunt, neither Graham nor Liz could die.

Only, Liz felt that she was going to die now as the Emperor sent out his lightning attack once again.

Graham turned around, using the opportunity to fly toward his sister, but there was no speed he could produce that could get him there in time.

As he started turning, the man he fought quickly strengthened his arms and readied his ax once again to bring it down on Graham.

Liz slowed down time as much as she could to give herself time to escape, regardless of the fact that she knew that was impossible. As she did, she saw something flash before her in a silvery light.

She looked beyond the bubble of her slowed time and saw a flat rectangular object appear before her. A mirror, which stood before the oncoming lightning strike.

And it was already activated.

The lightning bolt struck the mirror and was instantly reflected as it flew crashing back toward the Dragon Emperor.

'Am I being played with again?' the Dragon Emperor thought. He was almost sure that the Alex he was talking to did not exist. After all, where there should have been Alex in his spiritual sense was instead a massive void.

'Where is he?' the Dragon Emperor thought and looked around down below around the consoles of the formation. He wasn't there either.

"What is it that you plan to do?" the Dragon Emperor asked. "I know you had the girl do something with the formation. I don't know what, but she was trying something."

"She was indeed doing something alright," Alex said as he slowly floated down from the sky. "She was helping me fix the formation so that it was ready for use."

The Dragon Emperor scoffed. "Even if she completed in fixing it or whatever, how do you plan on using it?" he asked. "The key to activating this formation is with me, and will forever be with me."

As he finished speaking, he searched the surrounding area carefully with his senses to see if Alex was hiding elsewhere. However, no matter how much he checked, he couldn't find any signs of anyone being present below him.

Alex landed on top of the formation and answered. "That is true," Alex said. "You do have the key to activate it. But sadly for you, there is more than one way to activate a formation."

The Dragon Emperor's eyes narrowed a little.

Alex blazed with Yang Qi as he poured all he could into the stone platform below him. The ground buzzed softly.

"What... what are you doing?" the Dragon Emperor demanded. He was starting to realize that he had been talking to the real Alex the entire time.

"I would've been in trouble if there was a seal on the formation," Alex said. "But a lack of a simple activation key cannot stop me."

"No, stop!" the Dragon Emperor shouted and prepared to attack. Even as he did, he felt the space around him twist and turn as he realized that he was standing in the teleportation formation that was about to activate.

As quickly as he could, the Dragon Emperor flew out of the range of the teleportation formation and watched as the entire formation came alive.

Alex alone stood at the center as he stared up at the Dragon Emperor and gave a smirk as the lights swallowed him.

"See you in a bit."
