Severin had just prepared to make his move when Blake's expression turned serious all of a sudden. Blake gazed at the sky not far away with a wary expression, tightening his grip on the dark-black, lustrous, ring-hilted broadsword. Faint sword energy emanated from the glowing blade, cutting into the surrounding space and distorting the void.Sensing that something amiss, Severin concealed his figure within the void. Ge remained curious about what Blake had detected, and the latter seemed to be on high alert.Following Blake's gaze, Severin glanced over and saw a streak of light rapidly approaching from dozens of miles away, just like a shooting star. Within the glow was a familiar figure. 'Karl?' he thought to himself in surprise.Ever since he and the rest had traversed the wormhole, they were instantly separated and had no contact with each other. It was rare for one to encounter a familiar face within a place as vast as the Starry Sky Battlespace, and Severin did not expect to ru
A voice then echoed from the meteorite belt. "Get out! I'm laying claim to everything that's here!"Karl was already seething with anger from the earlier attack, and found himself further provoked by the scolding and humiliation. Before he could retort, Blake unleashed yet another attack from the meteorite belt.The menacing and formidable sword energy sent shivers down Karl's spine. He moved to block the attack and realized that something was amiss—the second strike had turned out to be even stronger than the first. The two attacks had nearly wounded him, and he was able to avert immediate bloodshed due to his strength and past combat experience.Meanwhile, Blake's face soured from within the meteorite belt. He glared at Karl with murderous intent as Karl rushed forth. Blake then nodded to his companion, Zeb, and instructed, "Let's deal with him and divide the metal Uru equally among ourselves."Zeb responded with a determined nod. "Don't worry! A perfect-stage level one paragon l
After receiving Blake's command, Zeb sneered at Karl, who was desperately trying to make a break for it. "I'll spare you the pain if you don't run away!"Karl thought wryly to himself, 'This can't be happening…' Angst filled his heart as he swiftly tried to explain, "Stop! It's all a misunderstanding!"Zeb sneered in response. "It doesn't matter to me. You've disrespected my family, so there's no reason for me to spare your life!"It was of paramount importance that the secrecy of the metal Uru's location was maintained. Having just chased Elron away, neither Zeb nor Blake could afford to let Karl go and risk attracting more prodigies to the treasure.Zeb raced forth with determination and activated his perfect-stage level four paragon attainment. He chased up to Karl in an instant, and he extended his hand to form a claw that seized Karl mid-flight. A black glow burst forth from Zeb's fingertips, ensnaring Karl within.Death seemed to have come knocking, and Karl became increasin
Following the resounding explosion, a burst of fire erupted before Blake, and the formidable shockwave instantly shattered the defensive aura in front of him. The fiery green lotus whirled like a little tornado, voraciously consuming Blake's flesh in an attempt to reduce him to ashes.Fortunately for Blake, his reflexes were swift enough that he was able to sense the shattering of his spiritual light shield. He prompted deployed his defensive spiritual treasure, but even then, the injuries he sustained were rather severe.The violent explosion led Blake to feel as though a colossal mountain had collided with his chest, breaking several ribs. What startled him more was the spiritual fire's ability to scorch his consciousness, inflicting substantial damage to his soul.As he emerged from the flames, Blake wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced icily at Severin. In a cold tone, he declared, "I'll kill you."Though he had managed to dodge Severin's sneak attack, the i
Karl was overwhelmed with rage as he pondered over the situation while being pursued and cornered. Severin's audacity astounded him. He cursed his own misfortune and berated himself for blindly following Severin into the meteorite belt.Before Karl could fully process his anger, Zeb trailed closely behind him and sneered. "Haha, and you said you're not a part of his group?"Zeb's golden spear unleashed a formidable aura that was directed right toward Karl.In his view, it could not have been just sheer coincidence that Karl appeared right after Blake chased Elron away, or that Severin launched an attack on Blake just as Karl was captured by Zeb.Karl was infuriated. There was no time for him to explain, as Zeb was already closing in for the kill. The formidable spear light shot out, shattering the void and reducing the meteorites to powder. Despite Karl's rich combat experience and the wealth of divine techniques he possessed as a reincarnated royal paragon, the chasm between a lev
Although Blake's strength had diminished to sixty percent of its peak, his attack was still stronger than an ordinary level three paragon. Though Severin was able to use the Green Shield to resist, the impact had pushed him a dozen steps back. Fortunately, Severin was able to endure it due to the robustness of the superior-grade spiritual treasure that was further bolstered by his solid foundation.The ease with which Severin withstood the assault elicited a frown from Blake. A murderous glint then appeared in his eyes as he remarked coldly, "Is this superior-quality defensive spiritual treasure your trump card?"It was rather noteworthy that a level three paragon like Severin would possess such a spiritual treasure, especially a defensive one. Many of the level four and level five paragons did not necessarily boast such an item.Defensive superior-quality spiritual treasures were rare—they were generally reserved for elites of major families, sacred disciples of sacred lands, or el
In response to Blake's stunned expression, Severin said, "Nothing is impossible."Severin's physical body had undergone special tempering, and he was already able to transcend levels since the time when he was still a supreme saint! Armed with the Book of True Void Enlightenment and the exercises he had obtained from Wildfire's ruins, he was later able to focus on honing the power of energy and blood.When he made the breakthrough to paragon, Severin utilized his body as a vessel to traverse the sea of suffering. In that way, the power of energy and blood—which could be likened to a furnace of heaven and earth—stirred his primal spirit and allowed him to connect with the power of heaven and earth.Wildfire was a renowned figure in Southsky thousands of years ago. He possessed an invincible presence with a powerful physical body and the magical power of the Wildfire Lotus. Even the neighboring Westregion and the royal paragons of Midland were unmatched by Wildfire's abilities. Were i
Bloodline power was the only vessel that could contain ancestral skills and divine techniques of major families that had ascended to the higher realm. It was unmatched by sacred lands in Southsky, Midland and other regions. Though some founders of sacred land sects succeeded in becoming a celestial, it was essentially not possible to pass down their bloodline's power.Possessing the bloodline power of a celestial allowed one to draw on the magical prowess during critical moments, creating an unprecedented capability to secure victory against a prodigy of the same level. For it was Severin's first time encountering someone with bloodline power. His muscles tensed immediately, and his expression turned alert.Elron gathered his bloodline power, and Severin's reaction elicited a sneer. "Feeling scared now? Well, it's too late for that!"Determined to end Severin's life, Blake spared no expense as he utilized his bloodline power and ancestral divine abilities to execute a deadly strike.
