White Gem didn\'t respond immediately, looking at the swords that fanned out behind Thaldorin\'s back. "A man fond of peacocking everywhere he goes can\'t possibly have much to show below his belt. Especially not when what you\'re peacocking are such frail, feminine blades."
The blades were, indeed, quite delicate-looking. They appeared more suited for fencing or a sword dance rather than a real battle.
"What a sharp-tongued woman," Thaldorin chuckled. "Being so old and yet so single seems to suit you."
"When there\'s nothing but the likes of you lying around, being single isn\'t so bad," she replied just as coldly.
The two faced off in a stalemate. They were too used to this song and dance. It wasn\'t that the two were very familiar with one another, but rather that every Dao God of opposing sides would understand one another at least superficially, and likely have interacted at least once or twice.
No matter what happened beneath the rank of Dao God, ultimately, if a victory wasn\'t won on this level, the war would simply never end. As such, the bare minimum was to understand the other side.
Instead, the real reason they were so familiar with this was because this was what always happened when a Holy World appeared. One side would appear first, make a feint at taking it all over, all to test the bottom line of the other party.
Of course, there was some variation to this. Especially when the Holy World appeared deep in the territory of one or another. As one might expect, it was far more dangerous for the other party to appear in such a case.
But this wasn\'t one of those cases considering the rainbow barrier wasn\'t too far away.
Now, they had to move on to the next phase… waiting for reinforcements.
One after another, powerful auras from available Dao Gods on standby.
The situation became more tense, especially as the Ruin Masters and Formation Masters began to step forward to analyze the Holy World. The more valuable it was, the more likely it was that a second exception would take place.
If the first exception was in the case that the Holy World appeared deep in one of their territories, then the second exception was in the case of the appearance of a Lord, Sovereign, or God Holy World.
The value of such worlds couldn\'t be described in just a few words, and they had, more than once, led to true, all-out conflict. If the value was too high, then probing blows would become deeper and really test the bottom line of the other party.
Luckily, it seemed that they wouldn\'t have to deal with this… for now.
...
"How is it?" White Gem asked the lead Ruin Master. He was an old man with age spots dotted across his bald head. There were barely any sparse hairs hanging on for dear life just above his ears.
"It\'s a Perfect Grade Holy World."
White Gem exhaled a small breath when she heard this. Although she had a strong stance, she knew quite well that the Fiends had all the momentum right now. If a Lord Grade or higher Holy World appeared so close to their borders, they would certainly go all out. Especially since their top Founding Dao genius was on the verge of becoming a Lord.
"But…"
White Gem tensed when the old man said this.
He leaned in and whispered. "It\'s a Light Affinity Holy World."
White Gem ignored the fact that the old man was trying to take some advantage of her by leaning in so close; her mind was already calculating several things.
The Light affinity was exceptionally rare for Holy Worlds, as was the Dark element and other higher forms of elements. The only reason why the True Grade World that Ryu had been in wasn\'t more popular was because it was hampered by the existence of the Ice element, and it was only True Grade.
The Sun Clan would definitely fight tooth and nail for this… But the Light Fiends would do the same.
The Light Fiends were a small population, but each one was exceptionally powerful. Their element was simply too difficult to deal with.
Comparatively speaking, the Sun Fey had quite a few light elemental powerhouses among them as well.
As one might expect, the third exception was in the case that an affinity that rarely appeared did so. But, the good news was that this exception wasn\'t nearly as bad as the first two, and there was still some room to maneuver.
However, this still needed to be handled delicately.
"I will report this," White Gem said.
She was a Dao God of the Gemma family, the first ranked beneath the Sun Clan. In comparison, they were far superior to the Luminara Clan under the Moon Fey. However, this still had little to do with her since her family wasn\'t of the light affinity… at least not entirely.
As White Gem went off to report this matter, so too did Thaldorin. A race had already been set off, and both were agitated for their own reasons. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, as Thaldorin was about to leave, he frowned and looked in a certain direction.
BOOM!
A fiery-haired elder suddenly appeared out of nowhere. While Thaldorin had a fan of lightning swords behind him, Tyroth had a flaming wheel that seemed to peer into the depths of Samara.
The moment the two came across one another, sparks flew and the world seemed to explode.
Everyone knew of the friction between the Lightning and Fire Fiends. Usually, they wouldn\'t easily cross paths like this. But to think this would happen by coincidence.
The Fey, Faeries, and Naturals alike all watched with rapt attention. This might cause a change to the situation.
