Chapter 1117: Emils Acts! The Time Prison!

Eve and Charlotte are now less than twenty kilometers away from this location.

Ling Shuang, get ready—I'll bring him out, and then we teleport away immediately.

Outside the chamber, Emils's pale golden eyes glowed faintly as she gave the order.

She could already sense the formidable auras unique to Eve and Charlotte, the two supreme beings.

"Understood." Ling Shuang nodded solemnly.

For her, preserving Xu Jingming was far more important than preserving Xia Meng.

"The ninth-rankers of Xia Meng, your supreme beings are no longer here."

Even Emils cannot protect you—surrender. We won't harm you."

"We only want Xia Meng's territory and resources. Taking your lives serves no purpose for us."

Though still twenty kilometers from Shanfeng of Xia Meng,

Eve's voice exploded like spring thunder in the ears of everyone still inside Xiamen.

Instantly, the entire Xia Meng trembled!

"Is that... Eve's voice? Has the U. S. really invaded?"

"Where is the Grand Councilor? What do you mean our supreme beings are gone?"

"It's over—everything's over. I knew something was wrong when all the ninth-rank councilors looked so solemn."

"..."

Across Shanfeng where Xia Meng stood, waves of panicked cries erupted everywhere.

These low-rank psychics did not know of Zhou Yuanwu's grave injuries.

Yet news of Eve and Charlotte's entry into Xia Meng had already spread wildly online.

Many suspected the Grand Councilor might be in trouble.

Now, Eve's appearance confirmed this suspicion beyond doubt.

"Ling Shuang, open the spatial gate."

Outside the chamber, Emils gave the order.

She was about to open the chamber door and forcibly extract Xu Jingming.

Suddenly, an odd fluctuation emanated from within the chamber.

Immediately, the once-clear sky darkened abruptly!

"What is this...?!"

Emils snapped her head upward to stare at the sky.

The entire heavens were choked with dark clouds, yet under her spiritual sense,

she could easily discern that these clouds held no rain—only Yuan Energy!

Vast beyond measure, impossibly immense Yuan Energy!

Such scale of Yuan Energy could appear only when a ninth-ranker breaks through to supreme being.

"Could it be... Xu Jingming?!"

Emils snapped back to awareness, her fair face filled with stunned disbelief.

At the same moment, as if to confirm her suspicion,

an overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted from within the chamber!

Boom—!!!

The Yuan Energy in the sky, as if a vast pool, poured down like rain.

The entity inside the chamber devoured every last drop of it, as if a whale swallowing the ocean.

Simultaneously, his already formidable aura surged upward once more!

"Is this... someone breaking through?!"

"It's a supreme being! Someone from Xia Meng is breaking through to supreme!"

"Could it be Councilor Xu?"

"Impossible—it must be Su Tianrui; he's been at ninth-rank peak for four years!"

"..."

Countless murmurs rose; ninth-rank councilors erupted in ecstatic joy.

At this critical moment, Xia Meng would finally produce its second supreme being!

Unlike the other ninth-rankers, Cao Jun and Lord Xue Jian shared the joy but remained utterly vigilant.

A supreme being's breakthrough isn't simple—it would take at least half an hour, conservatively.

Eve and Charlotte have already arrived; if they interrupt the breakthrough, everything is lost!

"Lord Xue Jian, if Emils can't hold them off,

we strike together—we must not let Eve or Charlotte disrupt Su Tianrui's breakthrough."

Cao Jun growled.

Like the other ninth-rankers, he wrongly assumed it was Su Tianrui breaking through.

"Understood."

Lord Xue Jian drew his longsword, crimson blood aura swirling around him.

"Breaking through to supreme... Jingming actually did it?!"

Outside the chamber, Emils exhaled sharply.

Her pale golden eyes now burned with unwavering resolve.

This battle—she would not let Eve or Charlotte interfere with Xu Jingming's breakthrough.

"A second Apex-level powerhouse has actually appeared in Great Xia?!"

On the other side, Charlotte of the European Union also sensed this aura, and her expression could not help but change slightly.

"A powerhouse who's still breaking through — what kind of storm could they possibly stir up?"

Evelyn was also somewhat surprised, but compared to Charlotte, she was far more composed.

"Then are we still going to continue?" Charlotte could not help but speak again.

"Of course."

Evelyn looked at her as though she were an idiot.

Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning arrow; the more critical the moment, the more one must persist.

"Fine! Then you go deal with Emers, and I'll stop him from breaking through!" Charlotte's face hardened viciously.

"Now that sounds like the decisiveness an Apex-level powerhouse should have."

Evelyn let out a delicate laugh, cut the communication, and flew out from inside her fighter craft.

Charlotte on the other side did the same; the two stood towering in mid-air.

The towering Shanfeng where Xia Meng was located lay directly beneath their feet.

And at this moment, Emers's slender figure had already flown up from below.

Her pale-golden long hair drifted in the wind, and a brilliant divine light shot from her eyes, as though it could pierce through the very warp and weft of fate.

"Emers, I have no intention of making enemies of your Sacred Flame Temple.

My target is Great Xia. If you insist on blocking me, then don't blame us for being rude."

Evelyn looked at Emers.

The aura belonging to Star Radiance Tier 2 erupted in a thunderous surge.

Behind her, ten thousand golden streams of light flowed, and dazzling rays of light circled around her body.

Elemental Light-System SS-Rank Ability — Light of World Purification!

When she unleashed her ability, a temperament that seemed capable of purifying all evil in the world arose spontaneously.

Beside her, Charlotte likewise unleashed her own ability.

Her figure became like that of a leopard, her entire body brimming with explosive power.

Her whole being seemed to merge completely with the void — even Tier-9 ability users could not detect her existence!

Enhancement-Type Divine-Beast System S-Rank Ability — Shadow Moon Spirit Leopard!

Charlotte's direct combat ability might not be strong, but when it came to assassination and ambush, she was absolutely a master.

Emers remained unmoved, but a pair of pale-golden beautiful eyes had already become as dazzling as the sun.

The Special-Type SSS-Rank Ability "Eye of Fate" had clearly been pushed to its absolute limit by her.

"It seems you're unwilling to step aside — then let's fight!"

Whoosh—

With a wave of Evelyn's jade-like hand, endless golden light instantly condensed into a sacred longsword.

At the same moment, Charlotte's figure vanished on the spot, flying toward the mountain peak below.

She was going to stop the opponent from breaking through to Apex-level!

"Thinking of leaving? Not a chance! Cage of Time-Fate!"

Boom!!

Accompanying Emers's sharp cry, heaven and earth trembled!

With her at the center, countless pale-golden threads of fate burst forth from the void, weaving into a massive cage that spanned heaven and earth.

Every single thread flowed with powerful spiritual force, and even light itself was sliced into fragments.

And Evelyn and Charlotte, together with her, were firmly locked within!

Cage of Time-Fate — an SSR-Rank combat technique developed based on her Eye of Fate.

Its killing power is not strong, but it can trap a target for a short period of time.

Used in the current situation, it fits perfectly.
