Wilbur felt that something was off with the whole event. In theory, they would typically invite the key members of the clan for a banquet, with a hundred or so people from the three major clans. That would already be considered a large gathering. The manor had around four to five hundred people at the moment. Was that not a little bit excessive? He thought about it and decided to sneak inside first. He would go home if there were too many people or outsiders. He did not want to make an appearance in front of so many people. He transformed himself to look like Trevor before he got out of the car and then walked toward the manor. There were cars still coming in. People walked in groups, chatting and laughing on their way to the manor. Wilbur arrived at the door. He did not recognize any of the people who passed him by. He found it strange that there was no one at the door. It was as if everyone was allowed to enter. The manor was the home of the Owens. Jeremy lived there an
The middle-aged man glanced at Wilbur and hesitated. He saluted him and said, "I'm from the Walker clan of Greensun County. What about you?" "I'm Mister Penn," Wilbur replied with a smile. Greensun County was near Seechertown. It seemed like the three major clans had influence all over. "I don't understand why they invited us. There are so many people here. Just what are they up to?" asked Wilbur. The middle-aged man frowned and replied, "I'm not sure. They told us to be here on time without revealing anything else." "Wow, is that why you're here?" asked Wilbur while shaking his head. The girl was instantly displeased. She looked at Wilbur and said, "You're here too, aren't you? Don't show up then." Wilbur hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just think that they need to give us a reason to attend. They told us to come here without saying anything, and there was no beverage either. Don't you guys think it's a bit strange?" The girl scoffed and said, "The three
Wilbur was shocked. "Dude, seriously? It's not worth it, betting your life like this!" "Young man, the three major clans are the leaders of all the clans in Kardon Province. We look up to them greatly, and you're insulting me when you insult them!" "Dude, you don't have to do this. Calm down," Wilbur said in exasperation. He had not expected the three major clans to be so influential. It made sense, though. The three major clans had a long history spanning hundreds of years, and Jeremy was a peak Aura level cultivator. Despite the fact that this was hardly anything to Wilbur, the Aura level was something many cultivators could only dream of achieving. It was considered a big deal to most cultivators if they could even enter the early stages of the Aura level. To get even further than that was practically impossible. Yes, to be at peak Aura level was quite an achievement. It was understandable that some smaller clans had great respect for the three major clans. But the
The crowd turned to see the brother of the two siblings red in the face. Wilbur glanced at him as well. Was there something wrong with this guy? He practically worshiped Jeremy like a god who could do no wrong. Someone piped up as well, "Yes, Mister Owens! Please tell us who he is! We'll show him who's boss." That was clearly said to butter up to Jeremy. The guy from earlier was just childish and immature, but this guy was a grown adult. Jeremy himself had said that he lost. Did these people think they were going to win? However, more people in the crowd were worried. News like this would usually be kept strictly under wraps. Why was Jeremy declaring it publicly like this? Were things in Kardon Province about to change, and this mystery expert was going to take over the three major clans? That was not entirely impossible. If Jeremy could announce it like this, it was likely that he was going to retire from his position. That was just how the world worked. You were the b
Jeremy continued to laugh like a madman, putting his palms together. "Territory! Sea of Blood!" All at once, a terrifying surge of spirit energy exploded from Jeremy and surrounded the entire place. A bloody red spirit barrier arose, cutting off the hall from outside. The people who made it to the door collided with the barrier harshly and were sent flying backward as blood sprayed from their mouths. Matt and Gerard were shocked. They retreated away from Jeremy at once, waiting for his next move. Jeremy's power was beyond what they could comprehend. Both Matt and Gerard knew that this was not the Jeremy from before. Despite Jeremy saying that it was Wilbur he was after, Matt and Gerard were in just as much danger as everyone else in the hall. Just then, Wilbur exclaimed, "Sanctuary level? No wonder you were so cocky. You've reached Sanctuary level cultivation!" Sanctuary. That was a level above Ambience. Anyone who became a Sanctuary level expert would have their ow
A thick bolt of lightning shot out from between Wilbur's palms, lashing out in Jeremy's direction. The sight made everyone else's chest lurch. This man was truly something else. What kind of spell was that? At the same time, Jeremy was still laughing like a madman. He merely reached out with a hand, and a shield made from blood appeared before him. There were countless skulls moving around slowly on the blood shield, like a river of death in hell. The Way of Thunder spell struck the shield, but the wriggling blood on the shield ended up absorbing the attack before disappearing altogether. Wilbur's expression was ashen, but Jeremy laughed his head off. "Any attack is useless in the face of my blood shield, young man! Do you have anything else? I haven't quite had enough fun yet." "I'll let you have all the fun you want, then." Wilbur called out loudly, and the seals in his hand multiplied as spirit energy surged outward from him. As he shouted, a dragon made of lightni
Wilbur's thunder cleaver struck the blood sword hard. A deafening sound exploded in the air. Both sword and cleaver collided, and a wave of spirit energy exploded outward. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand. Wilbur surrounded Jeremy at the speed of lightning, swinging his cleaver repeatedly. The gigantic cleaver flipped in Wilbur's hands as he swung it with great expertise. Wilbur himself was moving so fast he could hardly be seen by the naked eye. All the crowd could make out was a figure flying circles around Jeremy, waving the terrifying weapon in his hands. Yet Jeremy's powers steadily increased, and he showed no sign of letting up either. The blood sword was somehow able to deflect every attack from Wilbur's thunder cleaver at the last second. The crowd watched on in terror. Wilbur's skills were like that of a god. He was even flipping through the air in ways that defied gravity. The crowd was not able to see what stunts Wilbur was pulling, but what W
As he shouted, the territory containing his Sea of Blood lit up. At the same time, the blood that had flowed out of him started flowing back into his body in reverse. His wounds began to heal at lightning speed as well. The crowd was at a loss for words. What kind of power did he have to be able to do this? At that moment, it seemed as though Jeremy was actually incapable of dying or suffering from harm. No one dared to imagine just how Jeremy was going to treat them once he had taken down Wilbur. Nothing good could come out of that. Wilbur squinted at Jeremy. "Tell me how you got this power." Jeremy laughed like a madman. "I was given this power by the Blood God, and I'm who the Blood God has chosen. You're all dead!" Jeremy raised his hands, and a terrifying surge of spirit energy exploded from him. The crowd gasped in pain, feeling like there were knives cutting into their body. They looked down and were greeted with a terrifying sight. Several wounds had split
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
