The massive, nearly hundred-meter-long python unleashed a ferocious roar. Its entire body was bathed in a blood-red color, radiating a menacing aura that sent shivers down the spines of those who laid eyes on it. What was even more unsettling was the fact that the spirit beast had attained the level of a level one royal saint, making it one of the most formidable creatures in the secret realm."Soaring Dragon Slash!""Skydragon Fist!"Both Phyllia and Danny employed their strongest technique to launch several powerful strikes. However, their attacks were all nullified when the python let out a thunderous roar."Is it using sonic attacks against us?" Danny's face paled in shock. He could only watch in bewilderment as his and Phyllia's attacks were demolished by the python's sonic roar.Phyllia had an expression of dread as well, for she recognized the very dire situation that they were in. "We're in a pickle right now. I don't think I can withstand the creature's onslaught for more
The giant python was infuriated after being kicked away. It unleashed a thunderous roar and swung its colossal tail toward Severin."Hehe, this'll be the end of you." Severin chuckled. He deftly produced a seventh-grade spiritual sword from his belongings and delivered a slash after infusing the blade with his spiritual energy. The sword energy that Severin produced thus sliced the formidable beast in two, and that was despite the creature's incredibly tough skin.The serpent writhed on the ground for a while before dying motionlessly."Your strength is amazing! The attacks from our fellow disciples had barely managed to land a scratch on the beast, but you killed it in a single slash!" Danny was truly in awe of Severin's strength because it was completely beyond his imagination.Severin smiled and approached them, while Elsa rode the sword over to them."Thank you for saving our lives, sir!" Phyllia and Danny expressed their gratitude with the utmost sincerity.Phyllia rummaged
Severin finally slowed his pace down somewhat after flying for some time. Elsa exhaled heavily before carefully removing the miniature black tower from around her neck. She handed it to Severin and said, "We've finally got it! You should be the one hanging on to it though. It's safer that way."Severin took the tower with a smile and intended to store it in his spatial ring, but all his attempts proved futile."What's the matter?" Elsa asked when she saw Severin's puzzled expression.Severin sighed. "This thing might possess its own space. That's why it can't be stored in a spatial ring. I suppose you could say it functions like one."Elsa nodded even though she did not entirely understand what Severin said. "That means the Airblack Sect disciple we encountered earlier hung it around her as an accessory because she couldn't place it in a spatial ring."Severin nodded. He then took out the Soul Compass and noticed that the blinking light was still flashing and making a beeping soun
Though the Skyblue Sect's disciples outnumbered the Horizon Sect's disciples, the latter held an advantage in their attainment levels. The highest among them had reached the level eight saint, and by comparison, the highest attainment level in the Skyblue Sect's group were Luke and Sofia at level seven saint. The others had lower attainments, and a few were barely level eight warrior emperors."Crap. This battle is only going to exhaust us if we keep going at it," Luke observed while being locked in battle.Mick suggested, "We should put in our all to help Elder Severin's wives escape.""That's the least we can do," Luke agreed readily. "We owe everything to our supreme leader. Today is our chance to repay his kindness."He then turned to Sofia, Sheila, and Diane. "Sofia, Sheila, Diane, we'll create an opening for you to escape and make your way out of the forest. If we give it our all, we will probably have enough numbers to carve out an opportunity for your escape. That'll buy yo
"It's Elder Severin!" Luke exclaimed in excitement."It is him! We're saved!" Sheila's face lit up with joy. "We'll live to fight another day, it seems!"Severin's decisive attack had killed the opposing group's disciples within seconds."I'm glad I found all three of you together! I can finally rest at ease now." Severin sighed with relief. He was happy to see his three wives along with Luke and Mick.Severin considered Luke and Mick his friends even though they had since become disciples of the Skyblue Sect and were no longer just members of Dracodeus Temple. He had brought them along with him to the sect when he first came, so he hoped to see them thrive in the sect too."I didn't expect you to be here too," Sheila approached Elsa enthusiastically.Elsa grinned and replied, "Luck was on my side. I ran into Master shortly after entering the secret realm, so we searched for the tower during the day and practiced alchemy at night. I've made lots of progress over the past few week
Luke grinned and said, "Sounds good. Please lead the way, Elder Severin."Severin rose into the air and flew them across the forest on the flying sword. A safe-looking cave soon came within sight, and he decided to set up camp there. Severin chatted with his wives in the cave, while several others rested at a campfire outside with two individuals keeping watch. Around midnight, Severin suggested that Sheila and the others get some sleep as he resumed his alchemical work with the cauldron.Though he did waste several fifth-grade low-rank spiritual herbs, it was not that frustrating for him because he had an ample supply of herbs on hand. He considered it a small price to pay for each batch of pills that he refined successfully.A faint aroma then wafted out from the cave, prompting Mick to remark, "He's so dedicated that he's still refining pills even when we're inside the Paradise Secret Realm."A female disciple beside Mick nodded in agreement, saying, "You don't often see talente
When Gilda came out to the courtyard, Felipe noticed her and remarked to Wuhlricht, "Gilda's belly is growing bigger by the day. She's almost at the end of her second trimester, and it's becoming challenging to hide it from people."Gilda frowned. "We'll just have to come clean when it's no longer possible to hide it. I've been avoiding public spaces anyway, so there shouldn't be any problem if I remain at home.""Frederick is a petty man," Wuhlricht said sullenly after looking at Gilda. "He refused to marry you when he found out you were no longer a virgin, and it'll probably piss him off that you chose to keep the child."Wuhlricht paused briefly before adding, "Though I'm quite certain that he wouldn't dare to confront us, we still can't tell anyone that Severin is the father."Gilda was a little taken aback by that, but she immediately understood the ramifications of revealing the truth. She nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. You're worried that the Horizon Sect might feel de
"Haha, I came out of there a level two royal saint! And it's only been three months!" A man exclaimed in joy. He seemed to be one of the ones who had made significant progress."Hic… Hic… where's my junior sister? Is she dead?!" Another man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, seemingly mourning the loss of someone he loved.In the past, the odds were good if one-third of the participants were able to exit the Paradise Secret Realm. Though a substantial number of disciples from second-tier sects had successfully made it out alive, two first-tier sects—namely the Horizon Sect and the Highworld Sect—were conspicuously few in number.Severin soon emerged from the realm along with many of their other companions.Upon exiting the realm, Severin noticed that there were very few disciples from the Highworld Sect and the Horizon Sect. Those that remained were undoubtedly those that Severin did not encounter then."How much longer will the wormhole open?" Severin asked, glancing at the
