Chapter 358: Doh his body had becoht In the next instant a silvery doorway of pure light appeared eht fractured away froht touched, the world of red quickly receded A new, silver nucleus expanded froh of relief “Excellent tier I’ to save”

The Wine Master stood calht expanded out in fractals around hiies without swirled angrily around the border of this silver pocket, but could not invade

This was a war of Doon’s standoff!

The Pauper appeared fro beside Lan Jue Upon seeing the Jewelry Master, the Pauper gave him a surprised look

The aura that surrounded Lan Jue was the focus of his shock

Lan Jue nodded toward the beggar as he appeared He ral part of his Ascension After all, ey as he hy shouldn’t he be confident in the presence of his allies?

“You should not have come here” The scratchy, ancient voice echoed all around theh it bubbled up fro them

The Wine Master’s eyes flared with silver light, that shone out like a pair of stars He raised his scepter high and, froentle wave of silvery light swept out like a shock wave In it’s wake countless h the air They twinkled, they swirled, they rose and fell, and as Lan Jue looked closer he was stunned to discover every one of those hundreds upon thousands of specks was a star As the swirling mass expanded, they found themselves in the center of a !

Gradually, the vines began to sprout little purple pearl-like grapes, and the heady scent of the fruit filled the air As the grapes grew pluer beneath

So far, Lan Jue could to feel the adverse affects of their battle However, he knew that if this continued, the situation won’t only get more dire

The Wine Master remained still, like a statue suspended in space He was lost in the totality of everything around therape fell As it tuies sealed within were instantly absorbed by the vacuuht of that strange ed They dirapes

Then, there was a pulse of energy, as the newly forrapes broke the Wine Master’s control Lan Jue and the Pauper exchanged a silent, stunned looked
