Severin and Callie arrived at the canyon in a matter of seconds. Before them was a cavern roughly the size of a small mountain. Its surface was covered in a layer of blue ripples that obscured Severin's divine senses.Judging from the aura emanating from the restriction, Severin deduced that the Burkes' practitioner who set it up could not have been more than level eight paragon. Practitioners at such a level had begun comprehending the power of heaven and earth, wielding control over the rules of space. Though not as formidable as royal paragons, they could manipulate the void and navigate the through the black holes.However, their comprehension of the power of heaven and earth are still rudimentary, and any form of restriction or divine technique would still have to depend on their power.Severin could not figure out if it was possible to devise a strategy that could break the restriction, so he had to resort to sheer force as a temporary solution. Turning to Callie, he instructe
As the Burkes traced the aura through the starry sky, they soon witnessed the sudden unfolding of an extraordinary celestial display. They were overwhelmed with astonishment as they realized the phenomenon heralded the birth of Lumigold. Gerry, the leader, looked even more agitated at that moment, not out of concern that Severin and his party might arrive first, but because he feared that the celestial spectacle would draw the attention of other prodigies.Haunted by past experiences where the Burkes's past generation of disciples had perished while competing for Lumigold against other prodigies, he shouted, "Quick! We need to secure the Lumigold before other people do!"A sense of urgency swept across them as they released their spiritual power and raced toward the phenomenon in the sky. After Severin crossed the threshold of the restricted area, he discovered a vast cave that had been seemingly hand-carved and furnished with stone benches and tables. The cave, though not expansive,
For the record, eighth-grade herbs are treasured by royal paragons for crafting eighth-grade pills! Callie's awe was a natural reaction. The energy contained in those three red fruits could enable Severin to make a breakthrough to level four or even level five paragon without any side effects. When refined into a pill, it could become the Paragonhood Pill, which was crucial for level nine paragons attempting to break through to royal paragon, as the success rate would be increased by thirty percent! The significance of such a boost was immense, even for practitioners at level nine paragon.Despite that thirty percent increase however, the barrier of the royal paragon still eluded many people, and countless practitioners remained in a perpetual state of stagnation throughout their lives. As a result, a thirty percent increase in success rate was considered to be very valuable already. Even Severin, who was well-versed in the intricacies of spiritual treasures, could not conceal his ecs
After observing Callie placing her items for safekeeping, Severin did the same and placed three red fruits within a box before putting it away in his bag. Severin's gaze lingered on the spatial ring as he put everything away, and his glee was evident from his smile.His foray into the Starry Sky Battlespace had yielded some metal Uru, followed by the absorption of Lunar Dew which elevating his attainment to perfect-stage level three attainment. Subsequently, he acquired eight-grade herbs such as the Silver Moon Grass. Finally, he stumbled upon a fist-sized chunk of Lumigold along with three eight-grade Ruby Spiritual Fruits!Severin harbored confidence in using the two eighth-grade pills to propel him to the realm of the royal paragon within five years. The fist-sized Lumigold, when combined with Sky-Soil Zenith, might well elevate Severin's elite-quality spiritual treasure into a divine protective weapon.Divine protective weapons were rare items. Only supreme paragons or sects in
Callie deftly manipulated the ribbon in her hand and lashed it toward the Burke disciple who was closest to her. In an instant, the ribbon transformed into a surge of energy, streaking across the void and unleashing elemental energy throughout its path.In a quick exchange of blows, she swiftly dispatched several Burkes who cornered her. However, the Burkes continued to close in from both sides. Their leader, Gerry, wore a gloomy expression as he addressed Severin. "Hand over the treasure or I'll your life right here."Surrounded with no other escape route, Severin gripped the Scarletsky Sword and Green Shield. He covertly activated his trump cards—the Chaotic Swordshadow and the Lotus Divine Attack—as he faced Gerry and warned sternly, "Leave if you don't want to die!"Gerry's face darkened in anger. As a disciple of the Burkes and a prodigy of one Eastplain's eight great families, few would dare to disrespect him like that, much less subject him to such humiliation. Gerry's face b
Screams echoed across the sky, and about five or six of the Burkes' members were severely injured and had to be sent flying. Though no one died, the unexpected turn of events left Gerry visibly taken aback, as his intention had been to swiftly overwhelm the duo.The intensity in his glare betrayed his anger. Gerry did not expect that a mere level three paragon like Severin could pose such a huge threat to a level five paragon. Generally speaking, those who entered the Starry Sky Battlespace were nearly always considered prodigies in the Bleurealm—that was defined as individuals capable of achieving near invincibility as well as transcending levels in combat.However, even prodigies faced limits to advancement, especially within the level of paragon where the gap between each stage of a level was a vast chasm. Overpowering higher level opponents were much easier at the attainment of a supreme saint, but that was no longer the case when one reached paragonhood.The display of Severin'
Moreover, the Lumigold was a treasure useful in forging divine protective weapons. Offering two eighth-grade herbs in exchange for that was utterly disrespectful, to say the least. Eighth-grade herbs were rare in and of themselves, but they could not be compared to the significance of Lumigold. Integrating the piece that Severin had into the Sky-Soil Zenith would undoubtedly elevate it to becoming a divine proactive weapon.Severin replied calmly, "I'll pretend nothing happened if you leave without kicking up a fuss."Gerry's expression soured following that rebuff. His fingers clenched the silver shield so tightly that his knuckles were turning pale. With a scowl, he declared in a frosty tone, "Are you sure you wish to make an enemy out of us?"They were not the same sole representatives of the Burkes within the Starry Sky Battlespace. Wenzel, the Burkes' divine heir, was immersed in comprehending the scriptures of philosophy several thousands of miles away in the turbulent depths.
At that moment, the other Burke practitioners who were busy engaging Callie in combat were stunned to witness Gerry's instantaneous demise. After a momentary shock, the ten or so members immediately had reddened eyes as thunderous roars erupted from their mouths."Young Master!""Young Master"Gerry's sudden death instilled a newfound wariness among them, and they hesitated to continue cornering Callie. Despite their numerical advantage, Severin's strength seemed to deter them from approaching.At the same time, Callie was displaying signs of fatigue after bearing the brunt of their assault. Her aura was a faltering, and she seemed rather pitiful. Endured an onslaught from a dozen similar-level practitioners was no easy feat.Just as Callie was starting to struggle, she sensed Severin dealing with Gerry almost too quickly. Callie's eyes widened, and her mouth was agape as disbelief etched across her face.Callie gasped in awe, realizing that Severin had eliminated a level five pa
