Severin was trying to steady himself when a large number of Deifirm Sect disciples were already chasing after him.Seeing this, he immediately said to Raymond and Celeste beside him, "Can you two please escort my wives to safety, and I'll deal with the pursuers behind!"Upon hearing this, Raymond's expression changed slightly. He was under Myles' order to escort Severin to safety, but did Severin want to deal with his pursuers himself?'Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?' he thought.Although he was also upset with Severin taking the royal paragon relics and top spiritual treasure for himself, it was also the sect's interests at stake. Thus, it was impossible for him to act like a sinister villain.Raymond immediately shook his head and said, "No! You have to come with us!"Severin sighed and said, "I'm afraid all of us won't be able to get out of here safely if I go with you."At that moment, more and more Deifirm Sect disciples were chasing after them. Seeing this,
With an angry roar, everyone felt a terrifying pressure coming toward them. It was if the majestic heaven and earth were bearing down on their chest, making it difficult for them to breathe.The overwhelming anger made everyone scared. Especially the gloomy-face and skinny Gwono, who was dressed in a green robe; he could not help but tremble deep in his heart after hearing the angry roar.He looked at the rainbow emerging from the distance in the sky, causing his pupils to shrink violently. Even his tone was trembling when he uttered the name, "Os… Oskar Bur… Burton!"Gwono's horrified expression and Oskar's name shocked everyone in Artic Heights."Grandiuno Sect Leader, Oskar Burton, is here?!""Gasp… This is a royal paragon cultivator we're talking about!""I can't believe the sect leader of Grandiuno Sect would personally intervene! Does that mean Severin is saved?"Exclamations continued to ring out from all around.A long rainbow flew quickly toward Severin through the Art
"You're finally here! If you'd arrived any later, I... I shudder to think of what might happen." Myles' voice trailed off. A lingering fear was evident in his eyes as he nodded to Oskar.Oskar shifted his gaze from Gwono to the colossal fingerprint about to land on Severin. A hint of disdain played on his lips. "Ah, if it isn't the Gahrr's famous secret technique known as the Skycrusher Seal."As soon as he spoke, a violent wind erupted in the surrounding and a burst of abundant energy filled the atmosphere from above.Oskar's slender hand seemed to glow with starry brightness as he extended it from the sleeve of his gray robe. With a flourish and a subsequent flick of his fingers, his gesture conjured up a rainbow-colored light that sliced through the void a breakneck speed.As the light streaked through the air, a deafening roar erupted under everyone's horrified gaze. The surrounding space trembled as the huge fingerprint dissipated into a bright energy that filled the sky.In
Oskar's voice was calm, but those who heard him could feel an intimidating sense of oppression that threatened to suppress every living being. When the nearby sect elders heard it, they felt a chill down their spines as fear crept into their eyes. They all knew that Oskar was a seasoned level eight royal paragon, far surpassing their paragon-level strength.Faced with the prospect of Oskar's wrath, Wayman—elder of the Purevoid Sect—anxiously offered a placating smile. "Not at all! We had no such intentions."Without further delay, the elder and his other disciples scurried away. Before Oskar arrived, they had previously entertained the thought of reaping the spoils arising from that, but that motivation had since changed to getting as far away as they could.None of them stood a chance against Oskar even if they put up a united front. The Purevoid Sect's hasty retreat resulted in a domino effect, as one after another the different sects' elders led their sect members while assuring
Gwono raised his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said to addressed Oskar in a respectful tone, "You are a royal paragon, Sect Leader Oskar. Do you not think that you are unjustly using your power to oppress the weak?"Oskar responded with a cold smile, "Haha, I could say the same to you for what you did before I came!"Gwono's expression soured instantly and he could not accept what was happening. He continued, "Your core disciple, Severin, had taken the life of my disciple inside the ruins. Did you expect our sect to just ignore that?"Oskar flicked his sleeves, and the cold smirk on his face turned solemn. He looked intently at Gwono and said, "Vying for treasure within the ruins was, in essence, a test of strength. Fate has dictated that the Deifirm Sect's prodigy would end up being bested and erased from existence by our sect's core disciple. Attacking a junior is shameful behavior, especially when it came from a paragon like yourself. I expect you to m
With Oskar's growing wrath as well as the increasingly suffocating pressure around them, Gwono's face turned red in an instant.His body throbbed with pain, his spiritual energy was faltering, and his spiritual power was fast declining. The presence of a royal paragon towering above him sent shivers down his spine and caused his legs to tremble.After taking a deep breath, Gwono braved the terrifying pressure and said, "I will offer a spiritual treasure to Severin as a token of my apology, and I hope it will be enough to resolve the misunderstanding."The sour-faced Gwono then presented a bell-shaped spiritual treasure. The palm-sized silver bell hinted at its power by emanating the spiritual energy of an inferior-quality item.Gwono reluctant offered up the bell. "Although it is only an inferior-quality treasure that pales in comparison to Wildfire's relics and the Sky-Soil Zenith that you obtained, I am sure it will prove useful to you."Oskar's eyes widened in surprise. 'Did he
As Oskar spoke, he tossed Favian's spatial ring and the spiritual treasure that Gwono offered to Severin. He did not even bother to take a second look at them. Severin readily accepted the two items with a grateful smile after hearing that praise.Myles approached them with the surrounding disciples and saluted Oskar respectfully. "Greetings, Sect Leader."Oskar waved his hand before addressing Myles and the other sect members. "The expedition is complete. Let us now head back."He then raised his hand, reached out to the sky, and pulled a cloud down from the void. The disciples gathered rose into the air one by one and got onto the cloud. Severin approached his wives and expressed his gratitude to Raymond and Celeste before joining them on the cloud.Once everyone was aboard, Oskar unleashed his royal paragon aura and transported everyone into the Artic Heights in a rainbow-colored streak of light.No sooner had the Grandiuno Sect departed that Tobias erupted with frustrated rage
Soran's expression was the grimmest among them. Clenching his fists while watching Severin disappear from view, he muttered angrily, "Severin is one lucky guy." A begrudging sense of frustration filled his tone, yet there was nothing she could do about it. Oskar's protection rendered everything futile. They could not do anything except curse under their breath.The elder beside Soran frowned subtly as his gaze lingered in the direction where the Grandiuno Sect left toward. He then said in a sullen voice, "Let's leave. This incident surrounding the Grandiuno Sect's core disciple is very important news. We must report this to the sect immediately." The elder then led their disciples away.Many other unaffiliated practitioners harbored not hostility, but envy, toward Severin."Severin gained the most today after claiming so much of Wildfire's relics.""His name will soon be known throughout Southsky."The unaffiliated practitioners soon left, while news of what happened in Wildfire's
