Chapter 1297: One Man Versus A Thousand Saints (2)
I must maintain the domain to suppress the other True Saints while engaging True Saint Yan Huo in close combat. Wu Yuan thought. To also employ the Myriad Rebirths Tribulation? Impossible. He shook his head slightly, acknowledging the limitations he faced.
This was precisely why most super powerhouses specialized in either close combat or ranged attacks. The mental burden of simultaneously wielding powerful secret arts, Xiantian Instruments, and Chaos Treasures was simply too great. Even for beings of their caliber, such multitasking exceeded their capabilities.
Wu Yuan's mana body could easily control over ten thousand low-grade Xiantian artifacts simultaneously, coordinating them with flawless precision. But what practical use was that against equals? Their power was far too weak to harm such opponents.
I'll try once more. He decided. If it fails again, I'll have no choice but to try slaying him with my psyche weapon. His gaze turned cold and calculating.
Until this final moment, he had been reluctant to use his psyche weapon against True Saint Yan Huo. Its power was immense, certainly, but the drain on his psyche would be equally vast. Afterward, he would struggle to retain even two Chaos Nuclei, let alone three. He had to preserve enough psyche power to maintain a sufficient deterrent force.
Clang! Boom!
The temple's vast, light-filled chamber shook as Wu Yuan and True Saint Yan Huo clashed with furious intensity. Both combatants fought with manic determination, neither willing to yield.
Wu Yuan wielded unpredictable sword lights, his domain vast and overwhelming. Each sword light sent shivers through the soul—the very pinnacle of offensive power.
Yan Huo swung nine long staves like pillars of heaven, desperately defending—the epitome of defense pushed to its absolute limit.
Though Wu Yuan's mana body held the clear advantage, True Saint Yan Huo's tenacity prevented Wu Yuan from landing a decisive blow.
Time flowed onward.
"Shen Yan, Gui Chong, why are you still standing there?" True Saint Yan Huo sent frantic transmissions. "His attacks consume vast amounts of psyche power. The fact that he has not used his psyche weapon against me proves he lacks the confidence to kill me outright.
