Chapter 1983 - 67: Pale Fallen Angel

Zhang Xiaoman’s attack left the Observer completely stunned. Not to mention the terrifying attack power of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, just the destruction aura contained within it was enough to completely subdue the Observer.

If it were someone else, they might not have such a keen eye. But the Observer was different; he had, more or less, tested the Supreme Series himself in the past.

Even though he had not yet entered the Upper Transcendent Level, and even though he had not clearly understood the information about the Supreme Series, he still had some basic impressions and perceptions.

So now, when Zhang Xiaoman used the power of destruction, he quickly noticed it and realized that this power was extraordinary and likely quite high up even within the Supreme Series.

"This... how is this possible... Could it really be that he is...?"

At this point, the Observer began to doubt his previous judgment.

Being able to communicate with the Supreme Series to this extent, across the entire universe, he could not think of anyone else besides that one person.

Zhang Xiaoman withdrew the Purple Cloud Divine Sword. He didn’t ask the Observer whether he was satisfied with the "Supreme Series" he demonstrated because he could tell from the other’s expression.

"It seems it’s indeed as I thought. The Master of Destruction’s ability is indeed linked to the ’Destruction’ series. Then what Huan Cai mentioned before about the ’No Breath’ series, does it correspond to my Shadow Lord ability as well?"

A series of speculations appeared in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind, prompting him to subconsciously glance at his North Star Ring, which seemed to hold secrets more complex than he thought...

As he pondered, the Observer beside him had already snapped out of his shock.

"Lord Jixing, thank you for your generous demonstration. I have benefited greatly. As per our prior agreement, I will help you deduce the information on the Source of Demon Tide, but this will take some time, please wait a bit."

The Observer’s tone became increasingly respectful; after all, this was a world where strength was paramount.

Facing someone who likely possesses Upper Transcendent Level power, even an ancient deity of the Aigus Star Domain must be cautious.

As for saying "likely" rather than "definitely," the Observer had his reasons.

Being able to wield the power of the Supreme Series does not mean truly mastering it; these two are not mutually exclusive.

Some powerful High Order Divine Artifacts can achieve this, like the Aurora Array and Night Roulette owned by the Divine Court.

The former can withstand attacks from upper gods, while the latter can completely conceal their aura, making it impossible for even the Demon Lord to find them.

These two High Order Divine Artifacts are the result of the Caster integrating Supreme Series power, so even those who have not reached the Upper Transcendent Level can still emit the corresponding aura of the Supreme Series when using them.

This was the Observer’s initial suspicion about Zhang Xiaoman’s identity; the latter might have accomplished all this by relying on a High Order Divine Artifact unknown to him.

But now, as Zhang Xiaoman once again wielded the power of destruction, the Observer’s doubts were largely dispelled.

He couldn’t believe someone could simultaneously possess so many High Order Divine Artifacts, each renowned throughout the universe.

Even middle-level gods find them hard to acquire, and their owners invariably have rich heritages, having had at least one upper god in their faction at some point.

The Observer had already sensed the aura of the Supreme Series from Zhang Xiaoman at least three times.

The first time was during observation in the Divine Domain, where he was sure the mist that blocked his gaze was the seventh-ranked "No Breath" series in the Supreme God’s Domain.

The second time was during Zhang Xiaoman’s battle with Ora. The might of that sword exceeded the one used against the Demon Clan by thousands, showing Zhang Xiaoman’s full strength, where the Observer sensed the tenth-ranked "Extreme Extraction" series due to the Purple Cloud Divine Sword.

The last time was now. Although Lord Jixing only made a casual move, the aura of the Supreme Series contained within it was distinctly felt.

The Observer did not know exactly which series it was because his deducing had never reached this level before.

However, he was sure it was a more advanced existence than the previous two, beyond the reach of his current capabilities to easily deduce.

Thus, the Observer felt that the likelihood of the other using a Divine Artifact to display the Supreme Series wasn’t high.

After all, once might be possible, and twice could be reluctantly justified, but showing the characteristics of three High Order Divine Artifacts at once was rather incredulous.

Beside him, Zhang Xiaoman was unaware that in this brief moment, the Observer had already had such a flurry of thoughts.

Now, hearing the latter say deducing was possible, he felt secretly pleased, raising his hand to set down several arrays to isolate the Demon Clan outside, preventing them from disturbing the deducing process.

Though the Observer had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he was efficient in his work.
