Apophis was still flying forward and continued to soar through the air. This supreme powerhouse’s power had surpassed everyone’s expectations. One would say that it was comparable to a God’s power. The Demigods, who once stood at the top of the pyramid, were simply not his match.The Celestial Empire’s Demigods deployed every trick at their disposal, but in the face of such a powerful force, they found that their strength was reduced to the level of mere ants. The Eye of the God in the middle of Apophis’ forehead was opened. Terrifying energy shot out of that eye and pierced through multiple people’s chests. That attack met no resistance. It was a one-sided massacre without any suspense.“The Celestial Empire’s ancient martial arts world is worthless!” These were the words Apophis mumbled, and they carried a tinge of compassion for all mankind.“The mainland back then used to be the center for all the cultivators on the earth. It once had abundant reiki, not to mention that countl
“The almighty Demigod, Spartacus!” Legolas also raised his head to look into the sky agitatedly, tears welling up in his eyes.Spartacus soon descended from the sky and carried his blade in his hands. He eventually came to rest on a hill. He landed and immediately sat cross-legged with the blade standing straight in front of him. The Celestial Empire’s Demigods summoned the vitality energy vortexes. One after another, they leaped to the mountain where Spartacus was located.“Spartacus!”“Spartacus!”“Spartacus!”Legolas led a group of Demigods to approach Spartacus and salute him. However, Spartacus didn’t answer. He still sat cross-legged there as heavy snow continued to swirl and fall on him.It was no secret in the community that Spartacus had an odd and arrogant temperament. Those who were present were old freaks who had lived for more than a century, and everyone was an acquaintance of Spartacus. Therefore, no one found it odd when Spartacus didn’t answer.Soon, they real
Tyr had fallen into a daze.Subconsciously, he pulled the remaining half of the elixir of life out of his wrist guard. He couldn’t understand why Spartacus refused to take the elixir. After all, Archie had used the elixir before successfully. After consuming it, Spartacus would undoubtedly be able to reclaim his youth, so he wouldn’t perish just like this. Yet, Spartacus preferred to meet the maker rather than consume this elixir. He chose not to eat this, so Tyr couldn’t understand why he would make such a choice.“Master Magus, Boss, let’s head back to the Red Tower. It’s up to you two whether we can locate the last book.”Magus’ sudden appearance on Komodo Island to help them obtain the fourth book was no accident. His pivotal role in Tyr’s quest to obtain the fifth book may have been predetermined in their destiny.The group returned to the Red Tower. Jim sat cross-legged inside the room where Maxime had placed the Septuple Lamps to prolong his life. He then held the Nostro C
“Ghosts do exist.” Magus nodded solemnly.“For instance, think of what happened in God's Tomb. Those Demigods turned into Innate Energy after their deaths. GPE gathered those energies and used them to revive Apophis. The soul and innate energy are quite similar. You did get possessed by the remnant soul of the ancient God back then too.”“Does it mean my mother is very likely to be a spirit”Magus shook his head and said, “If she’s a spirit, you wouldn’t be able to feel her warmth, but you said that you were lying in her arms. Besides, her tomb had been removed and it turned out to be an empty grave. Her body wasn’t in it at all.”“Master Magus, what do you mean by that?”Magus said, “Maybe your mother didn’t die back then.”“If she’s alive, why did she still maintain her youth when I saw her? She doesn’t seem to have aged over the last twenty years!”Magus became solemn at this point. He said, “If this is the case, then there should be another possibility.”“What sort of possi
Tyr and Magus started to drink the water from the river like how they did in their childhood days.A loud and pleasant burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the river upstream just as the two of them were enjoying drinking the refreshing river water.Both the Demigods were taken aback, and they turned their heads around subconsciously. They saw a simple wooden bridge that appeared twenty meters above the river.A group of children, aged six to seven years old, stood on the wooden bridge. Most of them wore burlap clothes, and their hairstyles were combed smoothly and sleek. They weren’t dressed in modern attire; their attire was similar to that of the Aricia Era.Several children had already taken off their pants and displayed their penises. They stood on the bridge and peed in the river. The children’s giggles were heard incessantly.Tyr and Magus looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.“This river water is indeed a little sweet!” Magus looked at Tyr embarrassedly, whil
Everything in this place seemed very dated unlike other places in the outside world. So, it came as no surprise that the kids were given such traditional names. In the countryside, it was common practice to give babies strange names so that they were less likely to get sick while allowing their parents to raise them easier.The two followed the little boy and headed to the village. The sun was nearly setting. Over time, the sky had grown dark.The two noticed an old lady with silver hair running in their direction in a panic as soon as they arrived in the village.“Grandma!” Abraham immediately approached the old woman after spotting her. As soon as he got close to the old lady, she raised her hand and repeatedly smacked his butt. “You brat!” she yelled. “I told you repeatedly to stop fooling around! Stop scurrying about! It’s going to get dark soon! I told you that you can’t stay outside at night fall! Why won’t you listen to me?”Despite appearing to be quite old, the grandmoth
The old lady wanted to say something, but the old man silenced her. Later, she instructed them, “You two can stay here for tonight, but keep in mind that it’s dark now. Regardless of any outside activity or sounds that you hear, you can’t leave the house.”Tyr and Magus looked at each other. The old woman’s words confirmed that whatever they guessed was right.The old lady continued, “Gentleman, it’s quite late now. I’ll clean up the room for you two. I hope you two can make do for one night.”“Thank you so much.”Soon, the old lady was done cleaning the room. After the two washed up, they went to Abraham’s parents’ room.There was a window in the room, but it was tightly shut. The window was sealed with paper, and the forest’s outline could be seen vaguely. Through the paper, they saw the shadows of the trees that swayed in the woods. The window did not provide much sound insulation. The sound of the wind blowing outside could be heard. In short, it gave them a weird sensation.
“Tyr, drip this in your eyes!” Magus tossed a bottle toward Tyr. Tyr opened it and a stench came out of it. “What the hell is this?” Tyr asked with his hand covering his nose.“They’re cow’s tears! You can see those things coming from the underworld after dripping them in your eyes. Simply put, I never had the opportunity to use it in our world, so it might have long since expired. Just deal with it.”Tyr was speechless, but he still dripped the cow’s tears into his eyes. It’s strange how quickly Tyr felt his visibility had increased after that. It implied that the air was filled with something evil. He can see through those things now that he had dripped cow’s tears into his eyes.“From the location of the child’s room, we can roughly deduce that he should have gone into the woods. We have to look for the boy in the woods.”After they left the cottage, Magus determined the location where they needed to look for the boy right away. Tyr agreed with Magus’ point of view. Hence, the
