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

Yang Wei couldn't believe his eyes when Emperor Heavenmind took off his mask, revealing a face that looked almost identical to his own.

The only notable difference between them was the color of their hair. Yang Wei's was snow-white, while Heavenmind's was black.

Yang Wei calmed himself, allowing a smirk to cross his face as he addressed Heavenmind, "So, has your self-esteem dropped so low that you had to copy my good looks?"

The implications of Heavenmind's suggestion seemed almost too surreal to grasp immediately. Nonetheless, he made an effort to approach the situation without showing too much surprise.

Heavenmind chuckled softly, his crystal blue eyes glowing with amusement.

"In a way, we're two sides of the same coin. Our paths may diverge, but fundamentally, we're alike, you and I."

Yang Wei's mind raced as he tried to make sense of the scene before him.

It conflicted with everything he knew about himself and his existence.

The idea of another version of himself, so different yet strangely similar, challenged his understanding of identity.

It's confusing. In the Magic World, I've traveled through various timelines and realms, and I know there's only one of me. I've never encountered another version of myself in any world I've visited. I was always sure I was unique, a being that couldn't be duplicated in any realm's history, and yet...

Yang Wei's gaze tightened.

"What game are you playing? Why reveal this now?"

Heavenmind revealing his identity to distract Yang Wei was highly uncertain.

Yang Wei knew this instinctively.

He had scoured through countless alternate realities, looking for other versions of himself, but found none.

There was simply no chance that the one existing version of himself would be that weak.

It was absolutely impossible.

As the silence stretched, the question hung in the air longer and longer.

Heavenmind's smile faded slightly, replaced by a more serious face.

"There's a chance we might never see each other again, and there's a chance we will. You and I are in the same boat... we're both outside the bounds of fate. Nothing here applies to us, so our meeting was unexpected but not impossible."

He pointed at the woman in Yang Wei's arms.

"That Catalyst you're holding brought us together, whether we like it or not. Sigh~ but right now, that's beside the point. If I have to keep looking at your disgusting face any longer, I'm afraid I'll vomit."

With that, Heavenmind replaced his mask, obscuring his face once more.

He turned his focus back to Yang Wei and pointed at Mu Lingxi. "I have no business with you. I just want the woman in your arms." His voice calm and steady.

────Silence...

A bright blue light glowed from Yang Wei's hands as he wrapped Mu Lingxi in a pellucid energy sphere. This sphere was reinforced with multiple layers of 『Barrier Magic』 for extra protection.

The white-haired mage then looked at Heavenmind, his eyes turning blood-red once more.

"If you're anything like me, you know what my answer is."

Heavenmind sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I never make things easy for myself, do I?"

Fzzz────KRAKOW!!

Three powerful beams of light broke through the isolated space and landed in front of Heavenmind.

The light faded.

Three powerful True Celestials were revealed: two men and one woman.

The first man, Noble Thunderhorn.

He had hair like golden flames. He was the tallest of the three and carried a sword on his back that seemed even more powerful than his own presence.

His confident grin showed his arrogance.

The second man, Noble Ghosthorn.

He had darker skin, light green hair, and red eyes. He was just as tall as Thunderhorn and had a different, more composed air about him.

Standing in the center, he seemed like the strongest of the three.

The woman, Noble Dark.

She was stunningly beautiful. She had pitch-black, straight hair, white skin, pink lips, and dead black eyes that looked like they had seen the end of eternity.

These three had power that could shake the very foundation beneath them. They radiated waves of divine Qi.

They were three of Emperor Cloudcrest's six protectors!

Noble Ghosthorn placed his hands together and bowed his head respectfully to Yang Wei. "I'm afraid you're not going anywhere until you release the Catalyst."

Right after he spoke, Noble Thunderhorn and Noble Dark moved at massive, light-surpassing speed to reach the beauty trapped in an energy sphere.

RUUUUUUMBLE!!

A surge of 『Scarlet Magic』 erupted from Yang Wei, who stood calmly.

Instantly it blasted the two True Celestials away like a kite in a storm.

They somehow managed to regain their balance and return to their original positions, but their bodies were already cracking and fading.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was the physical matter-destroying effects of 『Scarlet Magic』!

Yang Wei gently combed his hair.

"With I, Yang Wei, standing here, don't even think about taking one step past me."

The magic energy swirling around him was like a storm.

Noble Ghosthorn glanced at the two figures and saw that they were already healing, thanks to the Dao of Sacred Protection.

He didn't need to worry about them.

Turning to Yang Wei, Ghosthorn spoke with half-open eyes.

"When the Ji Brothers attacked you, I had a task to complete, so I couldn't kill you then. But now, you have to die."

Ghosthorn didn't care about the laws that restricted true celestials from interfering in the lives of mortals in the Lower Regions.

If he thought someone needed to be killed, he would do it.

Yang Wei grinned and shot towards Ghosthorn like a rocket.

"You spoke my mind!"

But Noble Thunderhorn intercepted him, zooming forward and swinging his sword at Yang Wei's neck.

boooom────CRASH!!

Peals of thunder echoed as Yang Wei caught the thundering blade with one hand and grabbed Thunderhorn by the neck with the other.

"Arrogant fairy, you really think your toy can match the Magic Emperor?!"

Yang Wei's fingers dug deeper into Thunderhorn's neck, making him cough up blood.

Thunderhorn gasped painfully. "You can survive my sw—"

Before he could finish, 『Golden Magic』 blasted out of Yang Wei's hand, destroying both Thunderhorn's body and soul!

Using 『Gravity Magic』, Yang Wei surged forward again, but was once more blocked by Noble Thunderhorn──the same person he had just erased.

Thunderhorn had a deep connection to Cloudcrest's Dao, which anchored him to existence, making the concept of non-existence meaningless to him!

"Die──!!"

He swung his treasure sword at Yang Wei again, but this time Yang Wei raised his hand and cast 『Barrier Magic』, causing a collision that shook the empty world around them.

Noble Thunderhorn dashed back and grinned. "That's two times you've survived a hit from my sword."

Yang Wei wasn't surprised that 『Golden Magic』 didn't affect the true celestial.

Presently, nothing surprised him anymore.

"So, you're also using the Dao of Sacred Protection, yes?"

The mage tucked his hands behind his back.

Thunderhorn grinned viciously.

"You're a clever creature. And I'll assume that's the limit of your power. The red attack you used before destroys physical matter, while the golden one destroys both physical and non-physical matter. A form of existence erasure that affects both body and soul. Impressive."

"Extent of my power?" Yang Wei spoke with a chilling voice.

The empty world began to rumble.

He stared at Noble Thunderhorn with a silent fury in his eyes.

"Did you just say... the extent of my power?"

Yang Wei tightened his fists as his eyes fixed looked at all three true celestials.

At the far back of his three adversaries was Heavenmind who watched patiently.

Hrmm, it would be good to see him go all out. That way, I can know the extent of his power and plan ahead. Still... leaving here with Mu Lingxi still remains the goal.

The masked man pointed at Yang Wei and gave his order.

"Thunderhorn, kill him."

Instantly, Noble Thunderhorn took deep breaths, gritted his teeth, and grinned like a madman. He was clearly excited.

"Get ready to drink the full power of my world treasure!"

The ancient sword in his hand crackled with powerful lightning. It roared with an incredible, heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power!

Purple Lightning God-Rending Sword!
