Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

The Purple Lightning God-Rending Sword. It had a serrated blade that looked like thunder.

It was a world treasure, which was a divine-level weapon.

Immortal-level weapons, known as heaven-grade treasures, were common in the Three Divine Expanses, especially in the Lower Regions. However, world treasures, which were much rarer, could only be found in the Middle Regions or higher.

The difference between heaven-grade and world treasures was enormous. In the Middle Regions, a heaven-grade treasure was as common as a household item for an emperor. On the other hand, a world treasure was so valuable that entire continents in the Middle Regions could go to war over it!

rumble────CRAAASH!!

The divine-level precious sword roared like it could shake the heavens and shatter the earth!

Noble Thunderhorn was frustrated that his attacks were blocked so easily, not just once, but twice.

Since his opponent was on guard, he knew that regular attacks wouldn't be sufficient.

He couldn't gauge the true strength of Yang Wei's power, but based on what he had seen so far, he was confident he could overpower him in terms of raw energy.

Grr, the Purple Lightning God-Rending Sword is a world treasure that can summon cataclysmic storms to destroy entire worlds. Is it truly possible that this mortal is as strong as a True Celestial like me? He doesn't have the aura of a Divinity and yet... this is frustrating.

Despite the energy roaring from Thunderhorn's world treasure, Yang Wei still stared at him with half-lidded eyes.

It was crystal-clear that the mage was choosing to stand there and let Thunderhorn attack him at full power.

This was a silent insult, and the True Celestial wasn't going to accept it.

The prideful Thunderhorn decided to unleash his most powerful attack.

BOOOOM~!

A massive amount of lightning roared from his body, forming the shape of a thunder fox.

Dao of Heavenly Lightning!

The Dao.

It was the path followed by cultivators to reach enlightenment and attain higher levels of cultivation!

It had four levels... Lesser Dao, Lesser Greater Dao, Greater Lesser Dao, and the all-encompassing Greater Dao!

To access even the lowest level of a Dao, one needed to reach 2nd-path cultivation.

The true power behind the Purple Lightning God-Rending Sword was the Dao of Heavenly Lightning which was at the Lesser Greater Dao level!

And to even channel the full force of this Dao, one had to possess a fleshly body with power comparable to a Divinity!

The thunder fox, screaming and pulsing with deadly divine lightning, grew larger as Noble Thunderhorn gathered more energy.

ZOOOOOM~~!

In a sudden burst of speed, Thunderhorn shot towards Yang Wei like a bolt of lightning.

The distance between them closed in less than seconds, maybe even microseconds, so fast that time itself couldn't keep up with such a heaven-defying speed!

But this time, Yang Wei was ready.

He was prepared not only to handle the attack but also to bypass the Dao of Sacred Protection.

In that split second when Noble Thunderhorn moved, Yang Wei sliced his hand through the air and summoned three magic artifacts from his pocket dimension.

Essence of Time; a rare and potent ingredient harvested from the Flowing Temporal River!

Fragment of Infinity; a shard obtained from the Void Abyss, embodying endless possibilities!

Soul Immemorial Mirror; An ancient artifact that captured and reflected the true essence of a being's existence!

"Excellent…"

Yang Wei channeled his magic energy into the Soul Immemorial Mirror, positioning it to reflect his target's essence.

He then projected a beam of infinite regression at Noble Thunderhorn before the he could make contact.

God-ranked Magic; Infinite Regression Control!

As the beam struck, Thunderhorn's existence began to unravel.

"Guu, Guaaaah──!! Ahhhh──!!"

He fell to the ground, coughing dust, feeling disoriented as his presence was progressively undone. Within moments, he started to fade from existence, his influence diminishing.

"Uuuu, uuaahh! Uuaahhh──!"

Thunderhorn was being forced back to the point of non-being!

The other True Celestials were shocked, and even Emperor Heavenmind showed some reaction. They waited, but there was no sign of the Dao of Sacred Protection bringing back Thunderhorn. They couldn't sense his presence at all.

In her dreary voice, Noble Dark said, "He's gone…" It wasn't because she was sad about her fellow True Celestial's death; she always sounded like that.

Noble Ghosthorn remained calm despite the display of power.

Something's not right about this man…

Ghosthorn walked forward as his fists tightened with each step. "How did you do that?" he demanded.

Sigh~

A calm-faced Yang Wei decided to brag a bit.

"Infinite Regression Control... it traps a target in an endless loop. In each cycle, it undoes a moment of their existence, slowly pushing them toward non-existence. Most importantly, it bypasses all defenses, including the so-called Dao of Sacred Protection, because it doesn't attack the target directly. Instead, it erases their being layer by layer..."

It wasn't a hard concept to grasp.

What the Magic Emperor had done was to send Thunderhorn so far back in time that he eventually reached the point before he was even born.

Face flickering, Noble Ghosthorn barked, "Noble Dark, kill him!"

Your next journey awaits at empire

"....Yes," the gloomy True Celestial responded.

Noble Dark threw her arms out, and a wave of darkness gushed out, like an ocean of black ink flooding the space around them.

Everything turned black.

Yang Wei looked around and saw nothing, but he managed to lock Mu Lingxi in a separate dimension before Noble Dark's power fully took effect.

Provided she was safe, he could focus.

The young man remained calm, his arms folded and a serious expression on his handsome face. It didn't seem like he was bothered by the situation.

"So, what's your special power?"

Almost courteously, Noble Dark answered with her dull and very gloomy voice.

"...I am the keeper of the Dao of Ever-Reaching Darkness. I control this darkness that consumes light, matter, and energy. In here, you are my plaything... I can erase your memories, senses, and even the essence of your life... leaving you as a mere husk lost in my endless void..."

"...here, I am everywhere..."

"...there is no escape..."

Yang Wei could tell she was telling the truth just by using his magic perception.

Noble Dark was there, but he couldn't sense her at all.

It was almost like being in the Void Realm.

"Ah~ it's a shame I have to kill you. You're quite the looker."

Yang Wei held out his hand, and a stream of light flowed through his fingers.

Zuuuuuuuu~!

He produced another magic artifact: a golden steel fan covered in divine runes. The fan had an otherworldly glow that made it stand out in the endless darkness.

"Nothing you do here will matter. You will be dead in se──!!"

Noble Dark stopped mid-sentence when she took a proper look at Yang Wei's Magic Folding Fan.

"That fan... what is that fan..."

The dullness in her voice began to be replaced by worry.

Yang Wei chuckled, "You should be worried. This was a wedding gift from my father-in-law."

God-ranked sacred artifact────Origin Radiance Fan!

The folding fan contained a micro-universe within its folds, a self-sustaining realm where the first light of creation perpetually brillated. This light was infinitely bright, capable of illuminating even the deepest darkness and eradicating all forms of malevolent energies or entities within its reach!

One could harness this divine light only five sparks per celestial cycle.

Each activation consumed a portion of the fan's stored energy, necessitating a regeneration period where the light gradually replenished itself.

This limitation ensured the fan's longevity.

Yang Wei fully opened the fan with a simple flick of his wrist.

"Mingyu doesn't like me using this fan, but…"

He aimed the Magic Folding Fan forward and used three sparks from its micro-universe.

Divine light surged through the concentric patterns etched in celestial gold and silver.

BOOM──!!

The light exploded in all directions, burning away the darkness around Yang Wei.

One moment, the black world existed, and the next, it was gone.

Gracefully, Yang Wei returned to the original dimension.

"Perfect landing," he commented, fanning himself gently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the other hand, Noble Dark's return was far from graceful.

"RAAAAAAAHHHHHH! GAARR──!!"

She clutched her head in pain and screamed as her body burned, not just from the three sparks she had received, but also from the 『Infinite Regression Control』. It felt as if she was being scorched alive by the primordial flames of time!

All that was left of her, were her ashes, blown away to the ages before existence.

"Two to go…"

The Magic Emperor continued to fan himself.
