Since Wilbur was more powerful than Felix, he would definitely be able to make a bigger impact. Felix took two steps back and said, "You take it from here, then." Milton waved a hand. "Gray! Carl! It's your time to shine!" Gray and Carl walked up to Wilbur, bowing to him at the same time. "After you, Mister Penn." Wilbur sneered. "No, you can go first since you challenged us. Also, I'll give you a handicap of three moves. As long as you manage to touch me, I'll consider myself to have lost. Senior Horne and I will leave on our own then. But if I do manage to win by a stroke of dumb luck, I hope Elder Milton and the rest of you keep your word in welcoming Senior Horne as the new leader of the Chris family." Gray and Carl exchanged glances, then Gray said, "Well, Carl and I won't be holding back, then." Upon saying the words, both cultivators surged with a powerful energy aura. With the support of the energy aura, two vermillion bird apparitions formed in the air before chargin
Milton had been the second most powerful person in the Chris family under Dorrah, and now that he had given specific orders, Carl and Gray stopped hesitating. They gritted their teeth, then reached out to grab each other's hands before starting to spin rapidly, causing the two vermillion birds above their heads to meld into one. The two men's energy auras were rapidly combined, and the two vermillion birds formed a gigantic ball of light. A wave of special energy aura spread out from the two men, and Wilbur felt a pressure knocking him against a wall even after he had retreated backward. He turned around, but there was nothing behind him. However, Wilbur could sense a powerful energy aura quickly forming a barrier here. He looked up at the two men in the sky. What on earth could Gray and Carl be up to? Just then, white light shot out of the ball of light above the two men's heads before hurtling toward Wilbur. Wilbur quickly got to his feet, scrambling to retreat backward as the
The balls of light exploded, sending Gray and Carl flying through the air. They landed heavily on the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood as the barrier vanished completely. "What the… How?" Milton stared at Wilbur in disbelief before turning to Gray and Carl. "Are you two alright?" Gray's chest heaved up and down. "We're alright. Mister Penn actually went easy on us." He then turned to Wilbur and said with a raspy voice, "Thank you, Mister Penn." Despite the fact that Gray and Carl were rather despicable, Wilbur and Felix were supposed to be taking over the Chris family. Thus, Wilbur felt like he should limit himself to teaching Gray and Carl a lesson about who they were going up against so they would never dare to challenge Wilbur and Felix in the future. Wilbur raised an eyebrow at Milton. "Do you have anything else to say about the battle, Elder Milton?" Milton turned back to Wilbur, getting down on one knee with a hand on his scepter. "I, Elder Milton, humbly we
Firton turned to leave. Babbit stood there with the feeling of resentment toward Wilbur growing stronger within him. Babbit might be at peak Exalted level now, but he had to spend five thousand years to achieve that. The energy aura in the middle dimensions was different from other dimensions because of its core. The energy aura here was the strongest, and any cultivator who had come to the nine major towns with a bit of talent would be able to get to the Exalted level through hard work. The Exalted level was a special level more powerful than any form of cultivation across the dimensions. It was a stage of cultivation naturally formed by the energy in the core of the universe. The Exalted stage operated on the theory that as long as you worked hard enough at something, you would become a master at it. Most cultivators who had come from other middle dimensions to the nine major towns would usually spend three thousand or more years cultivating before they reached the Exalted lev
Despite so, the thought of Wilbur being able to own a dimensional treasure filled Edmund with endless resentment. Wilbur had to die! And since Edmund would not be able to use the bronze mirror, it would be destroyed. Edmund was a decisive man. After giving it some thought, he decided to head to the Chris family quarters to kill Wilbur right away. He would also destroy that bronze mirror while he was at it so that he would have nothing to worry about anymore. Over at the Vermillion Bird Mountains, a series of volcanoes were radiating an intense heat that melted the snow on the ground and scorched the earth underneath. Wilbur and Felix walked between the mountains, and Felix said, "Master, you can now cultivate in the Vermillion Bird Mountains. The energy aura here may not compare to the Azure Dragon energy aura, but they both have special features of their own. I'm sure you'll be able to improve your cultivation quickly here." Wilbur nodded. "Senior Horne, I think you should tak
The night breeze whipped through the air, and the figure in black looked up at Wilbur. "I knew you were a dragon clan cultivator. I underestimated you all this time." Wilbur's eyes were filled with shock as realization hit him, but he had guessed about as much from a while ago. "You can drop the act, Lord Edmund." "You've got the wrong guy. I'm not Edmund." "Oh, really? Who else could you be, then?" The man in black summoned a long sword, his robes whipping in the air as he stared at Wilbur coldly. "I'm not going to repeat myself. A dead man has no reason to know my name." He shot out, charging toward Wilbur once more. Wilbur knew that having his true identity exposed in the middle dimensions was extremely dangerous, as each of the nine major towns had its own Dragon Slayer Organization. If Wilbur did not get rid of this man right now, he would be hunted down in the future. At the thought, Wilbur did not hesitate to release the dragon aura in his body. The Magic Dragon Blad
After avoiding a dozen or so attacks in a row, Edmund had slowly gotten closer to where Wilbur was. He leaped off a rock and was right in front of Wilbur the next second. "You're a dead man, Wilbur Penn!" Edmund stabbed his sword in Wilbur's direction, moving so quickly that it pierced right through Wilbur's chest before he could even react. Edmund lit up, thinking that the attack had taken Wilbur down for sure. The very next second, however, the Light Armor showed itself in front of Wilbur's chest, a faint black glow flowing amidst the white light. "The Child of Light!" Edmund was stunned by the sight of the Light Armor. Back in the day, news of the battle between the Child of Light and the Dark Lord that caused them to land in the lower dimensions had spread through all the middle dimensions. It had rocked everyone, as both parties never returned after that. That was why Edmund was so shocked to see the Light Armor, his face twisting into a murderous expression. "You bast
A white dragon appeared with a roar, knocking Edmund into the air before attacking him with its claws and tail several times. Eventually, the dragon was crushed by Edmund's energy aura, who flicked the blood from the corner of his mouth away as he stared at Wilbur in shock. "I can't believe you broke out of my golem curse. I knew you were a dragon clan cultivator, hahaha!" Edmund threw his head back, laughing loudly. "What are you laughing at?" Wilbur asked. Edmund's smile faded, looking at Wilbur. "I'm laughing at myself, of course. All this while I was jealous that you were a dragon clan cultivator, but now I know that I was just envying myself all along!" "What?" Disbelief flickered in Wilbur's eyes, which only made Edmund laugh harder. "Yes, you heard me right. I'm a dragon clan cultivator, too. Oh, Wilbur. You thought you were the only dragon clan cultivator here, didn't you? Hahaha! Well, that means nothing to me now." Black energy aura began to radiate out of Edmund
