Rinchen raised his arm slowly to look at it. There was now a white scar on where the thunder cleaver had connected with it. "That was impressive," he mumbled to himself. Wilbur, however, furrowed his brows. The thunder cleaver had the ability to pierce defenses, making it a terrifyingly powerful enough weapon. Yet it had not been able to overcome Rinchen's defenses in the slightest. This guy was something else. Wilbur gave it some thought. Rinchen had cultivated for hundreds of years when he was alive, which definitely made him an elite cultivator. He had begun absorbing the power of the crystal sternum before he fell into hibernation. Not only had he retained his powers from when he was alive, but he had even gotten more powerful from absorbing the crystal sternum's energy during his slumber. His only weak point now was that his body was stiff, which made him not very agile. After realizing this, Wilbur hesitated no more and activated his Domain: Tyrant of No Other
The strength and spiritual power were being channeled within Wilbur's domain. It was so terrifyingly powerful that most Sanctuary level cultivators would have been wiped out in seconds. However, all Rinchen did was throw a few simple punches and the space around him began to let out explosive noises. Wilbur's sword attacks were sent backward as he retreated dozens of meters himself. Wilbur gripped the thunder cleaver, staring at Rinchen. From here, Wilbur's chest could be seen visibly heaving a little. Rinchen frowned, walking over to Wilbur. The crowd was terrified. If Wilbur were to lose, no one here would be getting out alive. Wilbur took a deep breath, and his Dragon's Crystal and Spiritual Furnace began to spin furiously. Dragon's power, thunder power, deathly power, and dark power. All these powers exploded at once. The thunder cleaver lit up with multiple brightly-colored flames, giving off suffocating pressure that enveloped the entire valley. Wilbur let o
Wilbur's mind raced at high speed. He let out a cry, stabbing out wildly several times. Rinchen merely responded with a single punch. He was the one with absolute power here, and there was no need for gimmicky stunts. A few explosions later, Wilbur was sent several meters backward. The multi-colored flames on the thin sword grew stronger once again as he pounced on Rinchen, aiming for his forehead this time. This attack contained all of Wilbur's strength, spiritual energy, willpower, and spirit energy. Time seemed to stop as the attack was launched. Rinchen himself obviously sensed the threat coming from this attack as well. He let out a roar, and all the runes on his body lit up into a complete inscription. An overwhelming sense of animosity, fear, and dread filled every other person in the room. Rinchen had also maximized all of his power here. The space around him seemed unable to withstand this power, causing cracks to appear in the air slowly. Rinchen raised
Behind him, a glittering spear appeared. Rinchen was struck with an overwhelming sense of danger. He let out a howl, the inscription on his body letting off a blinding glow as all of his energy formed a square-shaped barrier around him. At the same time, the dragon's head floating behind Wilbur's body had stopped chanting and opened its eyes. The Dimensional Arrow glittered, piercing through Rinchen's energy barrier and his body. Rinchen's expression flashed with disbelief, as he stared at Wilbur in shock. Wilbur smiled back at him, calm as ever. Rinchen's energy barrier began to crumble. The inscription covering his body dimmed as well. The terrifying spirit pressure coming off him disappeared at the same time. The spot on Rinchen's body where the Dimensional Arrow pierced through began to glitter, then faded away. "How? How could you be so strong?" Rinchen asked, nothing but agonized and confused. Yet Wilbur merely continued to smile calmly. Honestly, Wilbu
And yet, it was still insufficient to withstand the power of the Dimensional Arrow. There was, however, a price Wilbur had to pay for such a tremendous attack. He was now drained of spiritual energy, energy that he had actually reserved specifically to activate the Dimensional Arrow. Even Wilbur's physical strength was half taken out. He looked at the crystal sternum briefly, before tossing it into his demiplane. He would get back to that later. Just then, Milo and the others finally crawled to their feet shakily as they stared at Wilbur in terror. Rinchen's power had nearly scared them to death. Wilbur had been able to kill him. His power was on another level. Wilbur glanced at the crowd before slowly coming up to Bassan. Bassan was barely alive then, staring at Wilbur as he trembled with terror and dread. He had seen Wilbur beat Rinchen with his own eyes, and Wilbur's power had completely shocked him. Wilbur smiled at Bassan. "You really showed me today that peo
Wilbur looked at the girl, before looking back at Milo. "Who's this?" "This is Wengie Cooper. She's the department technician, and also my daughter," said Milo at once. Wilbur smiled. "Like father like daughter. But like I said, this belongs to the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense now." "Sir, this is an artifact that belongs to Emerald Province. You don't have the right to it," said Wengie. Wilbur glanced at Wengie impatiently. Wengie's chest lurched under his gaze, but she held his stare with all her courage and refused to back down. Wilbur could not help but shake his head. What were these people thinking, trying to take something he wanted away from him? Just then, ten Special Forces cars pulled up with their wailing sirens, stopping at the canyon entrance. Almost a hundred Special Forces agents emerged, storming in, and surrounding the area. An old, lanky elder in his fifties wearing a suit led the team, with two men following behind him. "Secretary
It was a green spore that looked like a type of fungus. It looked very normal, but Wilbur was able to observe through his spirit energy that the green spore had a surprisingly strong life force and a strange energy. He picked up the spore curiously, searching through it with his spirit energy. The next second, Wilbur's eyes widened in shock. The life force within the green spore seemed similar to those in humans, and the energy it held was extremely special and mysterious— it was as if there was some form of life in it. Ryder walked over then. "Did you find something, Sir?" "This plant's really interesting. It's got a strong life force and this weird energy in it," said Wilbur. Ryder took it from Wilbur, peering at it before saying, "I'll have it sent to Seechertown now for headquarters to run research on it." Wilbur nodded, and Ryder put the green spore away. Wilbur looked over at Tony. "Our mission here is done, Secretary Howie. We'll be on our way now. Goodbye."
The sun had set by the time Wilbur and Ryder made it back to Nichetown, and both of them were starving. They found a decent-looking diner and headed right in. They ordered a few things from the menu, planning to head back to Seechertown after they were done eating. The food was served about 15 minutes later, and both men dug in with a wolfish appetite. Just then, a man and woman walked into the diner. The man looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed head to toe in silver and gold. The woman looked young and beautiful, exuding a meek demeanor. The couple walked past Wilbur and Ryder's table, and the man accidentally knocked Ryder's suitcase over. That suitcase contained a weapon as terrifying as the super cannon, as well as the mysterious green spore from earlier. That was why Ryder had brought the suitcase into the diner with him instead of leaving it in the car. Seeing the suitcase kicked to the floor, Ryder glared at the man wordlessly. He picked up the suitcase,
