The giant manifestation of the golden lance carried a suffocating aura that seemed powerful enough to reduce stars to ashes. Tobias' and Uzair's pupils shrink when they witness that spectacle, for they knew right away that Sian was unleashing his trump card.The Golden Spirit Constitution, known to be the strongest element of the constitution, resonated perfectly with the lance and amplified its power to unimaginable heights. Even the combined power of Tobias and Uzair felt insignificant against such an overwhelming presence.Uzair's eyes flickered with icy amusement after seeing Sian's irked reaction. "You've finally provoked Sian, Severin! We'll see how you'll survive this," he rasped sarcastically.Countless sect disciples witnessed his earlier loss at the mountain's foot, thus dealing a blow to his pride. The sight of Sian unleashing his ultimate power led Uzair to relish the prospect of watching Severin crumble. He was content to be a spectator and was anticipating an exciting
In the blink of an eye, streaks of light appeared as Sian waved his arm across the air. The colossal golden lance carved through space and was heading lethally toward Severin. Golden runes appeared between Sian's eyebrows. These runes pulsed with the scriptures of philosophy, and the gold-affinity energy in the surroundings activated as they surged into the lance. The heptagold energy strengthened it with each further strike.Not one to be outdone, Severin faced the onslaught head-on and clasped his hands to form a seal. He channeled his chaotic sword energy to power the Sky-Soil Heptagold Sword Energy and launch his attack. The energy was ethereal and swift, piercing through the dense beams produced by the lance. The beam was shattered, and spiritual light cascaded down.The remaining heptagold sword energy continued to advance toward Sian. Reacting on instinct, he swung his golden lance to attempt a desperate block. His technique might be the ultimate trump card, but there was no s
Sian tasted a metallic tang at the back of his tongue as he regurgitated blood. Even the Golden Spirit Constitution, the strongest element of the constitution, suffered numerous hairline cracks. Though he was able to dodge Severin's lethal blow, his strength had waned noticeably.His hair was a mess, and there were red blotches all across his body. His strength was being sapped more and more as he battled the chaotic swordwill that invaded his body. Meanwhile, Severin exuded a blazing aura that radiated with shimmering light. The Scarletsky Sword resonated with a predatory glint, thus rendering any hope of resistance futile. Continuing the battle would be detrimental. Doubt crept into Sian as he clutched the golden lance tremblingly.Severin looked at Sian's sorry state and laughed mockingly, "And you call yourself a prodigy? I didn't even have to break a sweat!"Sian's face reddened in shame. He had never faced such humiliation before, as he usually had no difficulty securing victo
At the foot of the mountain, Radyn watched in stark disbelief as the trio who went against Severin fled in the end. Earlier, he was worried for Severin's safety and had braced himself to intervene in Severin's moment of need to help share his senior's burden.After all, Sian was a renowned genius in Southsky who had slain even a level nine supreme saint even when he was only a level seven supreme saint. Such feats were not easy to accomplish, even for a renowned prodigy and core disciple like Celeste.Radyn never expected the seemingly low-profile Severin to successfully pressure Sian into fleeing! When Sian unleashed the Golden Spirit Constitution, Radyn's heart skipped a beat, and he was already preparing to bolt at the earliest opportunity.It had hardly crossed his mind that Severin would inflict such severe injuries on Sian to the point where Sian was forced to retreat. He felt a mix of emotions as he gazed at Severin standing suspended in mid-air. 'Severin has grown much stron
Sheila, Sofia, and Diane shared the same concern with Gilda. Severin looked at their anxious expression and offered a reassuring smile. "I'm alright," he asserted.Severin's meridians then roared to life. A strong, furnace-like heat surged through him and caused the air to crackle with energy. It was a tangible display of his perfect-stage level seven supreme saint attainment, as his spiritual energy carried an awe-inspiring and imposing aura.Diane and the girls could finally let out a sigh of relief.Severin asked, "How did the harvest go?"The treasure mountain towered nearly a thousand meters high and had existed perhaps since time immemorial. Spiritual energy was so abundant that one could almost feel it liquefying. Precious alchemical herbs grew like weeds on its slopes, and although most were of a lower grade, those found halfway up the mountain had a rather impressive quality. They would not have attracted that many practitioners if not.Having secured the Fire Phoenix Sno
The place was truly synonymous with that of a royal paragon's abode. Treasures were everywhere! Though the few shimmering objects on the peak were slightly inferior spiritual treasures, they were still valuable enough for Severin not to pass up on.Severin exclaimed in excitement, "Luck is on our side, it seems! Yet another treasure trove has emerged barely halfway into this place!" Severin then led his wives toward the mountain along with Radyn and the other Grandiuno Sect disciples.By then, unaffiliated practitioners and disciples from Southsky's major sects were already gathered at the mountain. A hush fell over the crowd as Severin arrived, as some had recognized who he was."Crap! That's one of the Grandiuno Sect's core disciples!""He seems to be eyeing the mountaintop treasure too!""You have no idea how strong he is. He inflicted serious injuries onto Sian!""I didn't know that!""Let's just forget about the treasure. Severin's too strong for any of us!"Severin spotte
By Severin's initial estimate, he expected to encounter Celeste and Raymond at the center of the ruins. However, fate brought Raymond to him sooner than expected. With Raymond around, Severin was much more confident of securing the treasure on that mountain.As anticipated, Raymond's arrival sparked countless discussions among the assembled practitioners."That's Raymond! The Grandiuno Sect's fourth true disciple!""Another prodigy graces us with his presence!""Looks like the treasures are going to slip out of our grasp!"As Tobias witnessed Raymond's arrival, his already unpleasant expression soured even more. His guard was up as he glared at a formidable foe.After observing Raymond's jovial exchange with Severin, Tobias cursed to himself, 'Damn it! Why is Raymond here too?'Tobias might have been slightly confident in vying for the treasures if he only had to contend with Severin. Though he was afraid of Severin, he believed he might be able to hold his own against Severin a
Raymond stared at Severin with his mouth agape. He knew that Sian was blessed with the Golden Spirit Constitution and had always been regarded as the Gahrrs' prodigy. Sian was perfectly capable of killing someone stronger than him, even at a young age, and Peak Master Myles of the Seventh Mountain had specifically cautioned them about being careful around Sian.As a level eight supreme saint with the Golden Spirit Constitution, Sian's strength easily surpassed even some level nine peers. Raymond, at level nine himself, might manage to overpower him, but Severin, a level seventh supreme saint, had taken it a step further and went against three formidable opponents!For ordinary practitioners, the small gap between each stage might as well be an abyss. The higher one progressed, the bigger the chasm would become. Though a level three warrior king might be able to defeat level eight or level nine warrior kings by relying on proper techniques and stellar weapons, such instances were down
