Clinton had sensed the powerful aura as well and trembled from head to toe. "Yes… I'll start the engine up this very second, Your Holiness." In the end, Augheimer and Clinton left the island. Their trip here had been fruitless, but Augheimer had finally confirmed a suspicion he had had for a long time. The Dark Messenger was actually just a clone of the Dark Lord. They were one being, an elite from a middle dimension. Augheimer knew that he would only be able to kill the Dark Messenger even if he went all out. On top of that, doing so would surely anger the Dark Lord. Augheimer was a religious man, an avid believer of fate. He was certain that Earth had fallen into a hopeless situation now that the Dark Lord had set his eyes on it. "Your Holiness? I heard that a guy named Wilbur Penn is currently searching for the Dragon Cauldrons. There's also Senior Fremont Skye, that cultivator from Dasha. I guess there are many hidden elites in the world." Augheimer looked into the distan
All of a sudden, a gigantic wave kicked up from the sea as a screen of water appeared. The water quickly fell back into the sea the very next second, revealing an enormous octopus that was almost a hundred meters tall. Wilbur frowned at the sight of it. "Is this the second level's test?" Just then, a raucous peal of laughter could be heard. "Hahahaha! We meet again, Wilbur Penn! Now that you're here, you shall stay here forever!" "Is that…" Wilbur was dumbfounded for a moment. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked down. Sure enough, the Shadow King's torso was melded to the bottom half of the octopus as he leered at Wilbur. Their gazes met, and the Shadow King gritted his teeth as he spat, "I've been waiting for this day to come, Wilbur Penn! I would have never expected to die by your hand! You may have killed me the last time, but I'm going to end you here in this magical tower!" After his declaration, a few of the Shadow King's tentacles reached out to swipe at Wilb
White light flashed before his eyes, and Wilbur entered the third level of the magical tower. It was a well-developed city, filled with people walking around, chatting among themselves. Wilbur appeared on a random street all of a sudden and stared at the overwhelming crowds in confusion. Wasn't he supposed to be in the magical tower? What was he doing in the city? Warm rays of sunlight shone down on the city as the red traffic light turned green, and the people waiting by the road walked across the zebra crossing. Everything looked normal. It was as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Had Wilbur not been in the magical tower, this would have been just another regular day in the city. Wilbur looked around, furrowing his brows. Something about this just felt off. For some reason, he felt like none of this was real. All of a sudden, a bus appeared and stopped by the road. Wilbur had not wanted to get on but was shoved in by the crowd pushing behind him. "Stop pushing!" "I'm
Wilbur watched the bus drive away slowly, then fell into deep thought. Those people who had been pestering him exuded powerful energy. Each of them had the strength of a tiger. However, that energy had disappeared. What just happened on the bus? Could it be that they were not real people? Did they attack him after detecting his energy? Wilbur had a hunch that everyone in the city was a facade. They went about their daily lives, but they would not allow another living person to exist in their world. He glanced at his clothes, then turned his head to see a suit shop. A smirk appeared on his face, and he decided to walk into the suit shop to verify his suspicion. He started picking out a suit for himself. There was no trace of energy in the suit shop at first. However, the two attendants and the store owner began to emit a powerful energy within a minute and then lunged at Wilbur without saying a word. Wilbur got rid of them and went back onto the streets. He panted and smirked
The black longsword cut through several buildings with each strike, but Wilbur remained unharmed thanks to his light shield. Wilbur soon began to analyze the giant's combat prowess. The giant grew rapidly in just a few minutes, reaching a height of fifty meters, then seventy meters, and ultimately stopping at a staggering height of one hundred meters. When the giant reached a towering height of one hundred meters, all the people in the city had transformed into dark energy, merging into the giant. The giant, seemingly fearing that Wilbur might escape, violently plunged its black longsword into the ground. The dark energy dispersed from the impact point across the land. The dark energy surged through buildings from the ground several hundred meters away. It soon rose into the sky, and the dark energy gathered above the giant, forming a cube-shaped cage that trapped Wilbur inside. Then, the giant swung its longsword again, and Wilbur dodged it desperately. Wilbur continuously dod
The City Lord laughed loudly while tilting his head back, saying, "The black energy is my defense. All your attacks will be absorbed by it. Give up now, for your efforts are futile." "Never!" yelled Wilbur. Wilbur moved swiftly and appeared in front of the City Lord. His fist aimed for the City Lord's face, and it was accompanied by the roar of the gold dragon. The City Lord moved swiftly in a blur to evade the attack, but Wilbur was able to sense his location. There was a flash of determination in Wilbur's eyes as he yelled, "I've found you! Prepare to die!" He thrust the Azure Dragon Spear forward, and in the blink of an eye, it hovered mid-air as the City Lord reappeared. The azure dragon roared to life and lunged at the City Lord. The black energy intercepted the azure dragon and turned it into dark energy that soon dissipated into nothingness. The City Lord smirked and said, "I told you. Your attacks are useless against me." "I wouldn't be so sure about that," said Wilbur.
However, the large creature was very cunning. Wilbur thought that splitting the ground open would provoke the creature into a frenzied retaliation, and perhaps it would come out of hiding and fight him in the open. Much to Wilbur's surprise, the creature did not emerge from underground even though it was furious. The creature kept attacking Wilbur with its vines while remaining hidden. Initially, only a single vine would emerge from the ground, but as time passed, more and more vines appeared until there were dozens of them attacking him at the same time. Despite the increasing number of vines, none of them managed to harm Wilbur. Wilbur was a dragon clan cultivator, after all. His dragon aura could sense everything within the space it covered. So, whenever the massive creature underground made any movement, he knew its exact position. The cunning creature wanted to use the ground as cover to hunt its prey above. Unfortunately for the creature, Wilbur was not an ordinary target
Upon that thought, Wilbur conjured a small black dagger in his palm through his will. A soft rip could be heard as the dagger made a cut on the sphere. With the power of destruction infused into the dagger, Wilbur slashed with great force, cutting open a foot-long gash on the sphere. The sphere seemed to have sensed his action and started to roll rapidly. It rolled across the vast grassland, speeding along like a tumbleweed in the wind. The strange creature planned to knock Wilbur unconscious with the hard stones on the grassland, then digest him. However, Wilbur gripped the dagger and found an opportunity to escape after some observation. He cut open the sphere and suddenly lunged outward from within, freeing himself. Wilbur watched as the rolling sphere came to a stop hundreds of meters away. Suddenly, the sphere swiftly rolled back toward him at high speed as though it had noticed his presence. "Good," Wilbur muttered. The Magic Dragon Blade was in his grasp with the flic
