Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299: Who Is That Woman
Now the competition for the rankings in the Illusion Battlefield reached the most intense stage.
The name and ranking of each warrior showing on the pyramids in the outside world continued to change erratically. The outside world became quite fascinated by it, and everyone had their favorites among the participants.
“Lawson's in the first place! Unbelievable! Didn't he previously rank the 200th?”
“Nathan is now back in the top three! That was quick!”
“Who is Zola? I've never heard of this name before. The person is now in the top ten! This is crazy!”
Being in the top 100 in the Illusion Battlefield would be a great achievement. The warriors who made it to the top 100 were considered as the top talents of the universe. All the creatures in the universe paid attention to the names that would make it on the list as they were rooting for their respective races.
The entire Illusion Battlefield was divided into fifty supreme worlds, and each supreme world had many mighty warriors in it. But until now, these warriors had yet to face each other. Thus, at this point in the competition, it was still undetermined how these warriors would rank in terms of strength and power.
Meanwhile, as Letitia was supplying her life vitality, she kept looking at the names on the pyramid.
When she spotted Zen's name among the top one hundred warriors, she felt at ease.
Based on her knowledge about the Illusion Battlefield, she could comprehend her husband's current state and prospects.
Each warrior competing in the Illusion Battlefield aimed to be on the top 100 list. There was a lot at stake in being one of the best in this competition. The top 100 warriors were favored by the universe. Those who made it to the list were highly valued by their respective races because it was believed that the future Godly Geniuses would be born from these people. And from those Godly Geniuses would the True Gods be born.
Letitia recalled hearing from Zen about the world of chaos. It was the first time she had ever heard of such.
And what was exactly the world of chaos?
Letitia didn't know and when she asked Zen about it, he wasn't certain about it either.
She did her research and from what she learned, she concluded that the world of chaos was the Godly Way.
However, Letitia didn't know that her understanding of the world of chaos was quite shallow.
Most of the warriors in the entire universe lacked deeper knowledge and understanding of the world of chaos.
From what they knew, after the arrival of the world of chaos, talents would spring up like wild mushrooms. In effect, the talents would no longer be rare. If the universe became saturated with talents, the standard for such would become higher, discerning the less impressive talents as ordinary.
But how could one be considered as a talent? A talent possessed an innate gift. They had mastery of incomparable skills amongst their peers. An ordinary warrior could master a skill through rigorous practice and perseverance, while a talent could easily unleash that potential once they embraced their gift.
Thus, if the number of talents in the world of chaos was to increase, those born as ordinary talents would no longer be considered as talents.
In the current universe, the only considered true talents were the ace talents of the major powers and races.
These were the ones who had already activated the Mahayana Lotus Flower. Only when their Mahayana Lotus Flower had reached the perfection state could they become Godly Geniuses. Then, they would have the possibility of becoming True Gods.
And aside from the possibility of becoming True Gods, these talents also carried the destiny of the universe.
But as the world of chaos continued to evolve, a crisis was always bound to happen to the universe sooner or later. Even the best warriors could not escape the crisis brought by the evolving world of chaos.
All the past grand eras fell into the hands of the inevitable crises.
A grand era would last for 3.6 billion years, and every grand era had suffered its crisis. In the last era, for example, stars had fallen, and the Fire Demon had descended. ŗÂＮＯ𐌱Ɛ𝒮
While in the grand era before that, a plague erupted like God's punishment.
And the crisis from three grand eras ago was the stars falling and hitting the universe, killing millions of creatures. No one could predict what the crisis would be for a grand era and when it would come.
Unfortunately, there were no historical records of the crisis that had happened four grand eras ago because it wasn't until the last three grand eras when the historians started to record the crises. Still, the recorded crises from the previous three grand eras were far from being complete and accurate.
After all, the crisis could wipe out a civilization, which would result in the extinction of the grand era. Thus, only a few things would have been passed on to the next grand era.
“Which force does Margaret belong to? How did she get to the 60th place?” someone exclaimed.
Letitia started to feel frustrated about the result. How could Margaret best Zen in the Illusion Battlefield rankings?
“I'm afraid I am not familiar with her. However, I heard that this woman has some strong background. If my memory serves me right, she seems to be from the Purple Power World,” someone replied.
“Purple Power World. Purple Power Body. So that's how it is!” Letitia remembered that Margaret possessed the Purple Power Body and that she had once controlled several great swords with her astonishing power. But what Letitia didn't know was that the Purple Power World had a say in the Upper World that Margaret could rank in the top 100 in the entire universe.
Whoosh!
Letitia was in her deep thoughts when the shadow of a whip suddenly flew towards her.
Pak!
The shadow of the whip exploded before Letitia's face!
Although the whip did not physically hit her, the force from the blast pierced towards her like a sharp knife.
But in an instant, ice crystals formed on Letitia's face. The ice crystals were arranged with certain distance from each other, forming a special protective layer of life vitality.
Crack!
The knife-like force hit the ice crystals instead. The explosion was so strong that the ice crystals cracked open revealing Letitia's fuming face.
Letitia could regenerate her body from any damage. But that kind of strong explosion would have given her quite a damage and it would take a while before she could recover. She was grateful for the protection of the ice crystals because if not for those, her face would have been cut open.
“What do you want?”
Letitia suddenly stood up; her face full of rage as she stared at the middle-aged woman not far away from her.
Although she served here by pouring her life vitality into the Illusion Space of the Pure Jade Sacred Place for free, she was not a slave.
The middle-aged woman who attacked her with a whip looked at Letitia with a cold smile. “I already said it before; no one is allowed to speak here. But here you are making the same mistake over and over again! For now, this whip served as a warning. If there's a next time, it won't be just this whip anymore.”
“We were only discussing in a low voice and it did not affect us pouring our life vitality into the Illusion Space. Just so you know, there are also other people talking here aside from me! Why are you always targeting me?” Letitia asked in a cold voice.
The middle-aged woman pinched the whip in her hand, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face. “The people around you, eh? Let me remind you of who you are. You are just a warrior from the Lower World. What qualifications do you think you have to compare yourself to others? A jerk like you—”
Right at that moment, a black broken blade came spiraling over. The speed of this broken blade was extremely fast, and it was almost unavoidable.
It flashed several times in the air and before the middle-aged woman could react, it had instantly cut off her right arm.
“Aargh!”
The middle-aged woman let out a scream like a pig being butchered as blood spurted from her freshly severed arm.
The other warriors pouring their life vitality into the Illusion Space witnessed what happened, but their expressions didn't change much. Instead of rushing to the middle-aged woman's aid, they just stood to see what would happen next with rapt attention.
To a warrior, losing an arm was not a rare occurrence. However, it wasn't common for a warrior to hurt another one in this place. For someone to dare hurt the middle-aged woman, it only meant that the person must have a very high status in the Pure Jade Sacred Place.
After all, the Saint Lord of the sacred place was present at that moment to observe the pyramid above the Illusion Space, so there was no way an ordinary warrior would make a move here. It would be like signing their own death.
“Who are you? What did I do wrong?”
The middle-aged woman held onto her wound with a bewildered expression on her face. She was a smart woman who knew that whoever attacked her here was not someone she could afford to offend.
It was just that she hadn't done anything wrong, so why did that someone have to break her arm? Why?
The middle-aged woman could only ask the warrior because she was not convinced that she deserved to be punished like this.
Soon, a person walked out of the space. This person was at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and many warriors could recognize him. He was Preston, a palace leader of the Pure Jade Sacred Place. He could be considered one of the top 100 ranked figures of the sacred place.
“I cut off one of your arms just to warn you. Don't be so rude again,” Preston said with a cold expression. He then turned to look at Letitia. When his eyes met hers, a gentle smile crossed his lips. His cold face immediately disappeared without a trace as if he had met the bright sun. “Are you Letitia Ning?”
Letitia was astonished. She had not yet recovered from seeing the middle-aged woman's arm being cut off, and now this? This man was far superior than the middle-aged woman and his cultivation was unfathomable, so why was he being so polite to her?
Ever since she had ascended to the Upper World, she had been looked down upon. She had received all sorts of unfair treatment that had left her feeling extremely regretful. If she had known earlier that a Soul Sea Realm warrior meant nothing in the Upper World, she would not have ascended.
“Yes, I am,” she answered truthfully.
“Would you mind coming with me?” Preston asked politely. He was still wearing that gentle smile on his face.
Letitia felt strange and it could be seen on her face, but she still nodded slightly. “Of course. But I still need to infuse my life vitality into the Illusion Space.”
“You don't have to. Please, if you could just follow me,” Preston said with a smile.
Therefore, Letitia immediately left this place and followed Preston's lead.
Everyone saw Preston personally lead Letitia away. Naturally, when Preston and Letitia had finally left, they all began to talk about her.
“Who is that woman? Why is Master Preston so nice to her?”
“Well, come to think of it, she's a real beauty. I bet that some big shot from the Pure Jade Sacred Place has taken a fancy to her!”
“I don't think so! If mere beauty could take us anywhere, then why are there single beauties still working here?”
As for the middle-aged woman, she stared as Letitia slowly disappeared from her sight. She was left grabbing onto her amputated arm, gritting her teeth in pain and rage.
