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
The first to grace the battlefield was Eastplain's Menzies, led by Blake. Menzie had learned a harsh lesson from his previous encounter with Severin. Determined to make amends, he tirelessly scoured the starry sky for opportunities, venturing deep into its reaches. As fate would have it, he was on the verge of exploring the inner realms of the starry sky when he witnessed the peculiar phenomenon unfolding in the sky.Captivated by the scene, Blake instinctively recognized it as the birth of a treasure. Without wasting anymore time, he rallied several of the Menzies' disciples and hastened toward the source.As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Blake glanced at the Burkes in surprise and curiosity. The Burkes's presence had caught him off guard, and their somber expressions was a tell-tale sign that they had lost the coveted treasure. A pang of curiosity tugged at him, and he wondered if some unforeseen event had occurred.As things came to a standstill, Blake hovered in the voi
Upon hearing the details from each person, Blake suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his head. He took a deep breath and adopted a more serious tone. "I'm not in the mood to hear all those insignificant details. I want to know the name of the person who did it!"The Burkes were left stumped by his question. They knew not of Callie's name despite their relentless pursuit of her, and Severin's intervention ended up becoming a muddling the situation further. None of them knew who Severin was.Observing the hesitancy among the Burkes' disciples, Blake was starting to realize that none of them knew who Gerry's killer was. That was his first time feeling that the Burkes were as useless as those second-rate forces.Frustration crept in, and Blake could only patiently press on for answers. As details began to trickle in, Blake became even more confused. He thought to himself, 'How could a level five paragon like Gerry be killed instantly by a level three familiar. They say that the person's n
By his estimation, the presence of a level five paragon like Blake left zero chance for the three of them to lay hands on any treasure.At that moment, Simeon had been paying much attention on the field and was observing the exchange between Blake and the Burkes. Sensing that something was not quite right, he frowned and remarked, "It doesn't seem like the Menzies were able to secure the treasure either."Simeon's words instantly lifted Karl's spirits. He subtly extended his consciousness and eavesdropped on the conversation between Blake and the Burkes."A level three paragon killed Gerry?!" Karl was astonished by what he overheard. "How is that even possible for anyone to transcend two levels?"Transcending two levels to kill a level five paragon was incredibly are, even in Karl's previous life. Only the most exceptional individuals could achieve such feats. If such a person lived on, it was entirely possible for them to make a breakthrough to supreme paragon and perhaps even bec
Far from the battlefield, Blake's resounding roar made Simeon's face turn pale. The revelation that someone had snatched the treasure from the Burkes's prodigy and killed Gerry gave him and the other two the idea that befriending such an individual would be help greatly in their quest.In their eyes, Severin could not have been able to measure up to that person, and that powerhouse of an individual could likely end Severin's life and spare them from any future troubles.Alas, a swift turn of events revealed that the very person who seized the treasure and killed Gerry was none other than Severin! It was a huge slap in the face, and Simeon's complexion burned with the sting of that revelation.Simeon's face turned somber, and he was practically shedding metaphorical tears of frustration. He seethed to himself. "Why does it always have to be Severin!"Karl maintained a level of composure. His anger was not as intense as Simeon's, but he sneered and remarked, "Hehe. First, he offended
It went without saying that the vast celestial expanse which harbored the scriptures of philosophy from true celestials was precisely where many prodigies rose higher realms.Over at the fringes of the Big Dipper, a colossal silver flying vessel hovered silently above the planet. Emblazoned on the sail of that ethereal vessel—which resembled a spiritual treasure—was the conspicuous word 'BURKE'. That should be enough to explain whom that flying vessel belonged to.Seated cross-legged on the bow of the vessel was a lean-figured man of towering stature. Clad in a purple robe adorned with greenish patterns, a verdant jade belt secured the robe's hems up to his waist. The tassels danced freely in the wind. White deerskin boots graced his feet. His overall being exuded a rather extraordinary aura.A tidy bun crowned his head, secured by an intricate white crown. A purple-gold hairpin fastened his hair within the jade crown, and a closer inspection revealed that his skin was incredibly fa
On a planet that was full of yellow sand flying around, the entire planet was covered with a dense wormhole.Nine Heavens Gale blew out from the wormholes, sweeping the yellow sand high into the sky. Under the extremely high wind speed, every grain of the yellow sand was like an arrow piercing through the sky, shattering everything in its way. Under such a harsh environment, even a superior-quality spiritual treasure would not be able to withstand such a situation there for a very long time. The spiritual treasure would be damaged by the violent yellow sand under the Nine Heavens Gale and eventually turned into an ordinary weapon.At that moment, a monk wearing a red robe with golden auspicious clouds embroidered, was walking slowly in the desert. Step by step, he looked as if the harsh environment around him had no effect on him at all. The person's body was releasing strong spiritual energy. His bronze-colored body looked strong and well-built. His muscles binded together like stro
