Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Time continued on and gradually the Machine Empire pushed further south just as Mei had figured. Three years had passed and the fight was becoming harder. The machine empire was not an easy foe. The guerilla tactics she had come up with were not working anymore and many young lives were lost. Mei wished she could pull everyone under the nascent soul realm back but with the sheer number of the machine race, there was no way to do so. Mei herself with a few immortals kept going east to west doing everything they could to block the machine races advancement if only by a little. Grandpa Mu and Tang Guanting also tried their best. 

With all her fighting Mei could not sit down to cultivate. But her ambition to become stronger allowed her to learn how to cultivate while she was fighting. She taught herself to unconsciously circulate her cultivation method which allowed her to continue to cultivate even during battle. Because of this and the fact that she was fighting, she was able to smoothly reach the peak of the ascended soul realm. 

When Tang Guanting saw how quickly Mei's cultivation was rising he was completely in shock. She was almost nineteen years old now and she was only a step away from the immortal realm!

Standing in a tunnel with many broken artificial limbs and machine parts all over the place. Mei held her sword in her hand. Over the past year, she had felt a resonance with her sword as if it was alive. This sword was the very sword that Ela Whittlee, Dalton Whittlee's wife gave to her when she evacuated them from Parith. She had treasured this sword for years and it has been her partner for a long time now. Now every time she used it, it seemed to resonate with her and was now enshrouded with a faint glow. Her new connection to the sword made her love the sword even more. It was as if it could speak to her. 

Mei flicked the fluids off her sword as she looked down the tunnel. Many more Numbers were marching towards her, their guns trained on her. "I guess it's time. My strength has risen to a great extent. If I use both celestial and cultivator powers my strength is enough to destroy this lower realm. I actually did not plan to give up, but I was hoping we could get through this without the need for me to go all out... " 

Letting out a sigh Mei sent out a message to everyone on the front lines. " Fall all the way back. I did not want to resort to this but it seems we will lose half the mainland. I do apologize." 

Her voice transmission carried over to every cultivator on the front lines. They immediately fell back. They had grown so accustomed to doing as Mei ordered on the spot that they did not even hesitate in the slightest. Tang Guanting felt a little worried by what Mai had just said but Grandpa Mu only shivered. He had been watching the little girl grow stronger every day. If she were to go all out it would be almost the same as if her mother waved her hand out of anger. Although it would seem weak to Mei's Mother but to everyone else, it was as if the true gods came down themselves and destroyed everything.

Mei right now was at the point that if she used her full power she could destroy a world if she wanted to. Luckily she was not targeting the planet itself. Otherwise… Grandpa Mu Shivered again. 'Why is this cute little girl becoming more and more like her mother!?'

Once Mei detected that everyone was out of range she waved her hand behind her causing a large multi layered shield to form. It cut right through the dirt and rocks extending its way deeper underground and even up into the sky above ground. The entire southern half of the mainland was now encased in a large barrier that was sphere shaped. 

Mei once again let out a sigh as she waved her hand once more causing a bright light to fill the tunnels. There were no screams, no explosions. When the light dimmed, Mei could see the blue sky overhead. In front of her was nothing. It looked as if someone took a huge shovel and dug out the northern half of the mainland. Mei flew up into the sky and surveyed the area. She could see the ocean waters starting to flow into the newly dug crater. This was not the scene she was hoping to see. She wanted to preserve the beautiful landscape of this lower realm as much as possible. 

As Mei floated in the sky she suddenly felt a large number of powerful auras coming towards her. When she looked over she was shocked to see a large rip in space in the distance. But the aura coming from the rip in space was not that of the Machine Empire, It was the same aura that came from cultivators. Appearing out of nowhere a few old men stood in the sky in front of Mei. Their robes were in tatters and their faces were black. The killing intent coming off them was very strong and was all bearing down onto Mei. contemporary romance

"Little girl, are you the one who attacked the Immortal realm just now?" One old man asked. He dared not move until he was sure. To be able to tear a hole from the Mortal plane to the higher planes was something only demi god or god realm cultivators could do.

"Something happened in the Immortal Realm? All I did was fight off the invaders from the Machine Empire, here in the mortal realm. So many strong people here and you are now only taking time to come to the Mortal plane when something happens to the Immortal Realm? Are you all not of the same planet? I am sure the Tang family sent out word, that there were invaders, where were you all?" Mei couldn't help but scold these old men. They thought of nothing but their own interest and just because they were slightly powerful they could ignore those who were weaker.

"Humph, just a few ants dying due to their lack of strength what does that have to do with us?" One old man snorted. 

"Oh? Then I return this question back to you. A bunch of ants in the Immortal Realm died due to their lack of strength what does that have to do with me?"

Machine Empire….

"That fucking bitch!" Lina cried, her tears would not stop flowing. She and GD had finally made a connection with each other and were enjoying each other's company when a bright light suddenly filled the sky. GD had forcefully used her orb sending her back to the Machine Empire. She knew of only one person on that lower plane that could pull off such a feat and that was the little bitch that killed Jay. "I will not let this slide. No matter which planet that bitch is on, I will get vengeance for GD. I will not stop until that little bitch is dead!"
