Dorrah waved his glass at Conrad. "Well, now that you've found the source of the leak, all you need to do is just block the stream off and the energy aura won't leak anymore! Case closed." However, Conrad still looked worried. He was unsure if this would harm the Four Great Families if it went on, but this may be the only way to solve the situation at hand. After giving it some thought, Conrad asked, "Shawn, are there any cultivators near Mount Noss?" "About a dozen or so of them. They fetch water from the lake every now and then, But I've killed all the cultivators within a ten-kilometer radius around Mount Noss, and the outside world hasn't noticed." "Have you blocked off the underground stream?" "Yes, I had the servants do it." "Good job, Shawn. You may leave now." "Thank you, sir." After Shawn had left, Dorrah goaded Conrad into a few more glasses of wine. Eventually, the four family heads got to their feet silently. Following that, Babbit, Grote, and Dorrah faded a
A soldier shouted at Wilbur and Felix from afar. Felix was about to storm over, but Wilbur grabbed him by the shirt and gave him a pointed look. The two men turned to leave. As they walked, Felix said, "Master, it looks like they've planned for this. I don't think we'll be able to get the energy aura from the Black Tortoise Lake anymore." "I know, but when there's a will, there's a way. There's still the Azure Dragon Lake. We can take a look near there instead." The four major energy sources were located in the Azure Dragon Lake, the White Tiger Forest, the Vermillion Bird Mountains, and the Black Tortoise Lake. Since the Black Tortoise Lake was now guarded, Wilbur believed they could try looking around the Azure Dragon Lake instead. Water was a body of matter that could form underground streams, and it was much easier for energy aura leaks to happen to a lake compared to a forest or mountain. The two men were in the middle of a forest when a voice sounded from behind them. "He
Felix sneered at the man. "So, you're one of the Alberts' dogs, then. Alright, let's do this." "F*ck you!" The man in black charged toward Felix, who muttered a spell. He began to emit a white glow, then threw a punch at the man. Just then, the man's sword swiped through the air in front of him. Wilbur called out, "Be careful, Senior Horne!" Felix's fist collided with the sword, resulting in a loud clang that sent a powerful ripple of energy outward as both men retreated several steps. The man in black stared at Felix in shock. "I can't believe you've got a thousand years of cultivation in you. You forced my hand! I've never lost before, and I'm sure as hell not losing today." Upon saying those words, the man emitted a black aura. Felix let out a smirk, saying, "Well, you're not getting away for standing in our way, either." The man and Felix exchanged a wordless glance. In Buck Town, two enemies would usually not say much to each other. Their conflict would be resolved t
A smirk spread across Felix's face, but the man in black disappeared in the next second. He then reappeared right behind Felix, bringing his sword down against Felix's back. Just then, a black sword pierced through the man's body before his attack could reach Felix. The man in black froze in mid-air, and Felix turned around to see that Wilbur had stabbed the man through the chest with his Magic Dragon Blade. The man in black disappeared in a cloud of miasma before appearing on the left of Wilbur. However, Wilbur was much faster and reduced the man into black miasma once more. In the next few seconds, the man appeared around Wilbur and Felix. Wilbur was able to beat him with ease every time and finally said, "You've Flash Stepped six times. This is your last chance, dude." The man appeared a hundred meters away, and Wilbur teleported over the next second to drive the Magic Dragon Blade through him for good. Felix ran over, his eyes still wide with shock. "Master… that guy was
Wilbur frowned upon hearing those words. A hundred gold coins was definitely a lot, but how was Felix so sure that the man had earned them through less-than-savory methods? "How do you know he earned the coins through doing bad deeds? He's a member of the Albert family, after all. Couldn't that be the money they paid him, or bonuses he got for completing tasks for them?" "No." Felix shook his head. "I know Buck Town too well, Master. Any regular cultivator here, even if they were a slave of the Eight Great Families, can only make two gold coins each year at most. After deducting all the necessary expenses, which would amount to no more than two hundred silver coins. One gold coin is worth a thousand silver coins, and a regular cultivator would have to work for five years to make one gold coin. A hundred gold coins would require five hundred years of work, and that's without stopping or resting. It's just simply impossible." Wilbur snorted. "Really, now? Well, how did you make fiv
At last, their prayers were answered. After three days of looking, the pair found a lake named Heavenfrost Lake under a mountain west of Azure Dragon Lake. It looked just like any other lake, but Felix was able to tell upon taking a sip of the lake's water that it contained traces of faint energy aura. That night, they saw a creature akin to an azure dragon swimming around on the surface of the lake. It appeared very briefly, and Wilbur knew at once that it was formed out of Azure Dragon aura for sure. Wilbur and Felix dove into the water at once. Sure enough, there was an apparition of an azure dragon at the bottom of the lake. It was a lot meeker and more docile after sensing Wilbur's dragon aura and disappeared a few moments later. Wilbur glanced at Felix, and the two of them entered the mirror dimension together. It was slowly filling up with energy aura, and Felix said excitedly, "Master, this mirror's going to get us another few centuries of cultivation!" "I sure hope so.
Despite all that, Augheimer remained sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes shut as he continued to cultivate. He knew that everyone else would be begging, and begging was something that did not help increase one's value. If he were to join the flocks of people begging, it would deteriorate his own value as well. Augheimer was a man of pride and was not about to get on his knees so easily. In fact, he had even made up his mind. If he was not chosen to be a slave of the Eight Great Families, he would live on the outskirts of Buck Town and then enter the town once he was powerful enough. Divan Reyne walked past the cells. They were lined with people calling out to him, but he hardly even glanced at them. Just then, the guard asked, "Why aren't you choosing a slave, Mister Divan? Are these not good enough?" Divan said, "The last slave I chose got me a terrible scolding from Mister Firton that lasted two whole hours. It's been a while, but I'm still troubled by it." "But if
The guard turned to roar at the noisy cultivators, "All of you shut up before I make you!" The air fell silent, but Augheimer remained on one knee. "I won't do it, sir." Divan said, "Very well. What if you just have to get on both knees and call me 'Master'? How's that?" "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not your slave." "Hahaha! Why would you be on one knee if you weren't? You're doing this because you want to become a Reyne family slave, but here you are saying you're no slave of mine? Are you trying to be funny here, Augheimer?" Augheimer said coldly, "Sir, I'll never be a slave to someone else. I'm on one knee to show my respect. It's not a position I seek, but an opportunity to prove myself. I can help the Reyne family earn even more riches, and I'll hardly take any of it." Divan smirked. "You sure are confident. Fine, I'll take you in since you did show me some respect. I hope you keep to your word." "Don't worry, Mister Divan," said Augheimer. "I don't make promises I can't
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
