Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

The moment the sound of ambushing attacks sounded at the Jade Foxes Guild, their leader did not yell out 'Who dares?' and their lieutenants did not start yelling ineffective death threats because they knew already who had attacked their Guild.

It was not exactly hard to figure out considering there was only one Guild other than the four top Guilds that was still active enough to attack.

Sure, this was a surprising concept as practically no one had expected this but they were more than ready to meet it head-on.

"They won't know what hit them" the Jade Fox ladies (The Jade foxes were an all-female Guild) laughed as they charged outside.

When they met the small force of about sixteen ladies with the Golden eyed Melinda Dane leading them, the Jade foxes did not know whether to laugh or be suspicious.

After all, this was definitely not the full force of the Sapphirine Guild (although that was still small) that they had been expecting to face.

And then they heard a clap and looked up at the roof of their headquarters where Hal stood and joined his hands together to release large amounts of Astral energy that formed from right where he stood and expanded out to push every single member of the Jade Foxes Guild that it touched away from the building.

In all honesty, the barrier could not distinguish between who should be pushed out and who should not and that was why all those who were supposed to remain within the Dome had been marked with Runes prior by Hal.

When the Officials found each other's heads had glowing Runes on them, runes that only appeared after Hal began the barrier, they wondered what the hell was going on.

Meanwhile, the ladies of the Jade Foxes Guild tried their hardest to push against the barrier while unleashing their cultivation against it but there was no budging the barrier, and only when they were a sufficient distance away from the building did it stop...

... At which point it was a complete Dome.

Every single Jade foxes Guild member that had been out of the large building that was their headquarters had been kicked out.

With that, Hal dropped an explosive Rune in front of himself and when it cleared, he was gone.

...

At the Sensual Guild Headquarters, the group that Hal was leading had already begun actions and it was already calling out Sensual Guild members who were soon to notice the Dome covering the Jade Foxes Guild.

The explosive Rune had actually been a cover for Hal to enter into the Harem space.

Nicole had a key to the Harem space and just had to open a Portal into the Harem space wherever she was and allow him out.

She dropped a Rune he gave her beforehand on the ground though so that there could be an appropriate cover for the portal.

Let everyone wonder how he could travel between places so fast but let them never actually know. 

"Really, that's what you're going with?" Suri asked in a low voice as Hal walked out of the explosion to clap his hands together.

She had indeed come as a part of his group to see how he would pull it off and the fact that he was hiding his means as a simple and ridiculous disappearing act annoyed her.

She had her sensitive earing trained but other than the explosion that she had been wise to cut off her earing's sensitivity from, there was nothing for her to pick up.

One thing was clear though, Nicole was in on it.

Meanwhile, Hal began what he had done in the Jade Foxes Guild here.

He waited enough for them all to be out though.

The Sensual Guild was quite problematic with the availability of their dual cultivating partners who could, according to the Guild war laws, fight by their sides.

The actual members of the Guild came out but their partners were probably waiting as a backup.

Eventually, he had to accept that no one else was coming out and he completed the Dome.

"What the...?" the high-ranking members of the Guild were confused when they saw their headquarters completely clear of any members of their guild.

Then they saw them all banging against the Dome from the outside. 

Their eyes went to the Officials who they might have banked on to say something about the situation but there was nothing for the Officials to say.

What had been done was not against any laws of the Guild war.

Anyway, when all Lieutenants were out of the headquarters, the Sapphirine Guild members wasted no time dashing into action.

Suri had her halberd in hand and tabled any thoughts of how Hal had done what he did so that she could take advantage of it.

He had significantly cut down the numbers of their enemies that while there were sure to still be backups in the form of dual cultivating partners and their meager numbers of Sixteen would still be outnumbered, every member of the Sapphirine believed in victory.

Nicole's eyes were completely violet as she let her Lust Demon bloodline increase her strength while keeping the actual demonic presence mostly hidden. It was a delicate process but she had had a year of practice so it was not as hard as it could be.

As the fighting began in earnest, Hal could sense Runemasters both outside the Dome here and outside the Dome at the Jade foxes Guild trying to use Astral energy to break through.

He grinned,

"Just a little something for you from me," he said before using his Domes as mediums to send Astral energy directly to their minds upon contact with their signature Astral energy.

Astral energy was all mental after all.

It was not to the extent of killing them, but it would surely paralyze them fur hours.

In terms of Runemastering, no one below Rank Seven should even think of challenging him and a majority of those trying to break in was still in Rank Five.

He did the same to those trying to break through it with punches and paralyzed them with Astral energy which the Human body could not possibly handle. 

Astral energy should not be in the human body and that is why Runemasters mostly channel it and hardly store it within them. This is why Hal, who can store Astral energy in his body as though he was storing Cosmic energy was different and on a whole other level.

When a few of the 'Punch till we break through' gang slumped to the ground incapable of moving, the rest got the message and tried using Cosmic energy.

That was actually smarter as unlike Astral energy it was not mental, however, Cosmic energy not on the level of Cosmic Semi-Saint has no real impact on things formed from Astral energy.

Besides that, their cosmic energy was weak compared to his astral energy rank.

As the battle broke out between the members of the Sapphirine Guild and talented and angry members of the Sensual Guild, Hal taught at first to join in but decided to rather seek out the leader of the Guild.

He walked into the Guild headquarters and was about to call out for the Guild leader to make an appearance when he was slammed by something heavy and got knocked into a pillar.

*Bam!*

*Bang!*

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Doxon Prince"
