ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 39: A maid



As his words fell, a white-gray domain spread out, covering both him and the hydra.

The domain wasn't large, only a few hundred meters wide.

"A domain? Human, Is your intellect as lacking as your courage?" The hydra looked at the domain in disdain. Domains are useless to anyone above Emperor Profound realm, they are only used to bully the weak.

"Omnipresent..." Yun Wuji whispered softly, completely ignoring the hydra's sarcasm. As the word left his lips, the air within the domain seemed to ripple. Suddenly, countless versions of him began to materialize, one after another. First, there were 10, then 20, then 50, until finally, 100 identical figures surrounded the hydra

"Clones?! No, they don't seem like it. An illusion?" The hydra was startled by the countless Wuji. At first, it thought they were clones, but it sensed that each one was exactly the same. Clones, no matter how similar, can't be identical to the original. So, it concluded that it must be an illusion.

"Omnipresent" is the name of this domain, and just as its name suggests, it grants the power to achieve something close to true omnipresence. The numerous Wuji surrounding the hydra aren't mere clones; they are all him.

Within this domain, Yun Wuji exists everywhere at once. Each figure is a perfect embodiment of him, not just an illusion or a copy. Every movement, every breath, every flicker of his gaze is synchronized, yet independent. If one attacks, all attack. If one defends, all defend.

It's as if the very concept of being in only one place at a time has been shattered. The domain bends the rules of space and time, making Yun Wuji omnipresent in the truest sense within its boundaries.

"An illusion won't save you, human! You're at your wit's end. Just give up and let me eat you!" All of the hydra's heads spoke in unison, their voices echoing menacingly.

The hydra's heads opened wide and shot out beams of energy at one of the Yun Wujis. The beams twisted and combined as they traveled, merging into a massive, blinding ray of light that surged toward him.

Yun Wuji's body swayed slightly and then vanished just as the massive beam reached him. The beam shot past, missing him completely and soaring off into the distance. He reappeared a few meters away from where the beams had passed.

"I can only maintain this state for a few seconds. Let's end this." He raised his hand, and a giant ball of crimson phoenix flame appeared on his arm. At the same time, all the Yun Wujis did the same. He sent the fireball toward the hydra.

Star Scorching Demon Lotus!

A hundred giant fireballs flew toward the hydra, filling the entire few hundred-meter domain. The whole area turned red from the blazing fire.

"Mer illusions won't do anything to me," the hydra sneered as the fireballs flew toward it. It didn't try to dodge, thinking the attacks were just illusions and only one of them was real. It believed a single fireball couldn't do much damage, especially since earlier it had shown that this human wasn't a real threat.

It's a fact that beasts are often dumber than humans. If it were a human, they would still check to be sure, even if they thought it was an illusion. But this beast was arrogant and dumb and didn't bother to verify.

BOOMM!!!

"...!!!" Feeling the intense heat burning its skin, the hydra finally reacted. But, like many dumb people in this world of cultivation, it was already too late for them.

With a loud explosion, the fireballs erupted, sending out layers of blazing phoenix flames. The flames spread quickly, wrapping around the hydra and forming a huge, fiery lotus. The hydra was completely engulfed in the intense, glowing flames, which lit up the whole domain.

The hydra turned to ashes instantly. With the attack from a hundred Yun Wujis, no matter how strong it was, it was reduced to nothing but dust, leaving not even its beast core behind.

Yun Wuji felt a severe weakness hit him as the domain vanished, along with all the other Yun Wujis. He slowly began to fall to the ground.

This domain was something he had thought of years ago when he first began mastering space and time laws. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough strength to use it back then. Recently, after breaking through to the tenth level of the Sky Profound Realm, he started trying it out. Today was the first time he had used it in a real fight.

Unfortunately, even now, he couldn't fully unleash its full potential, and could only barely use part of its power for a few short seconds.

As he stood there, the white barrier around him began to shrink, slowly shrinking until it was completely absorbed into his body. As soon as it vanished, all his wounds healed, and his profound energy was fully restored.

The use of the Omnipresence domain consumes all his strength, which would leave him vulnerable after use. Naturally, he wasn't dumb enough to leave himself in such a dangerous situation.

"Why is there such a genius like me in this world? Why? This is so unfair to everyone else in the universe," he said, raising his head and staring at the sky. His expression was melancholic as if he was genuinely concerned about all the other geniuses out there.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After being kicked out of Floating Cloud City, Dongfang Xiu and Cang Yue returned to New Moon City.

"Your Highness you can't be serious!" Dongfang Xiu said anxiously.

"I'm serious, this is our only chance to change the situation of our Blue Wind Profound Palace and the royal family," Cang Yue said calmly. "If it weren't for your actions back then, I wouldn't be doing something like this."

"I admit that my judgment at that time was poor and caused us disastrous price," Dongfang Xiu said in frustration, "But, you are a princess! How can you possibly become a maid for

someone else,"

"Uncle Dongfang I gotta say, your intelligence makes other people confident," Cang Yue said with a hint of disdain. "Lord Yun Wuji can crush an Emperor Profound expert like Xiao Wuyi effortlessly. He's most likely at the Tyrant Profound Realm. Compared to him, our entire empire means nothing, and my status as a princess is even less significant."

It seems that Yun Wuji's attitude is contagious.

"If we can fix the mistake you made and become his friend by being his maid, I'd be more than happy to do it," she added. "Our royal family wouldn't be at the mercy of the four great sects anymore, and my father wouldn't have to put up with the humiliation of being looked down

on by them!"

"..." Dongfang Xiu felt she was being disrespectful, but he didn't comment on it. He knew his mistake was unforgivable. Still, he was concerned for her safety. "But what if he did

something unspeakable to you?"

"...If that's the price I have to pay, I'll gladly do it," Cang Yue said softly, blushing and looking down as Yun Wuji's figure flashed in her mind. Although she said many high- sounding words, her real goal was simply to get closer to him.

"Princess!" Dongfang Xiu felt tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at her, knowing she was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of the country. He was overwhelmed

with guilt.

"Strange what is she doing alone here?" Yun Wuji teleported back to his palace, he sensed Cang Yue standing not far away, curious he spread his senses to see if Dongfang Xiu was

nearby.

Honestly, he was pretty disappointed about what happened last time. Although he could understand Dongfang Xiu's actions from his perspective after all, he didn't know Wuji's strength and had the responsibility to protect the royal family.

However, understanding and accepting are two different things. After all, humans don't always follow logic, and Wuji is no exception

Taking a step forward, he teleported away.

Cang Yue arrived at Floating Cloud City alone. Dongfang Xiu had dropped her off outside the city, worried that Yun Wuji might misunderstand their intentions.

"Is he going to ignore me?" Cang Yue wondered as she waited. At first, she was nervous about meeting him, but as time passed and he still didn't appear, her nervousness slowly turned

into disappointment.

"Ah!" Yun Wuji suddenly appeared in front of her, frightening her.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Wuji asked, his expression cold. Cang Yue stared at his cold face, her expression turning mesmerized as her cheeks flushed red. She nervously clenched her robe and lowered her head, she opened her mouth trying to speak but no words came out. After several failed attempts, she finally took a deep breath, lifted her head, and blurted out loudly, "I want to become your maid!"

"Is that so? Okay, follow me," Yun Wuji tilted his head, looking at her body from head to toe. His eyes lingered for a moment on her thighs before he simply agreed.

"..." Cang Yue stared blankly at him. She got the result she wanted, but why does his response feel disappointing?
