"Are you a member of the Cultivators Association?" asked Wilbur. Zimmer hurriedly replied, "I am, sir." Wilbur said slowly, "Good. The Eastern Sun District had a bully like that under your watch, so you're responsible too. I'm punishing you by reflecting on your mistakes for a month. Do you have a problem with that?" "No, sir. I'm responsible for that and I'm willing to accept any punishment," said Zimmer while he knelt. Wilbur nodded and said, "I'm giving you a light punishment because it's not a big deal, but if anyone like him appears in the Eastern Sun District again, I'll punish you as I see fit." "Yes, sir. I will remember this lesson and reflect on my mistakes. I promise this won't happen again," Zimmer said. Wilbur stood and told Gage, "Get someone for the delivery and ship the goods to Sealake Island as soon as possible." "Yes, sir," Gage replied in a very respectful tone. Wilbur glanced around after he said that. Everyone lowered their heads cautiously. After
A mysterious formation appeared as a hexagram with many runes connecting at the center. The pattern of the formation shined when Wilbur infused it with his spiritual energy. The center of the formation ignited with burning flames. Wilbur smiled, and then he tossed the ore piece by piece into the formation. The ore melted upon contact with the fire. They turned into ashes, but the gold spirit inside was filtered and stayed in the formation. It took him two hours to melt all the ore and obtain the gold spirit. The next step was the important part. Wilbur sat next to the formation and kept infusing it with spiritual energy. The fire of the formation kept burning, ridding the unwanted dirt from the gold spirit. There was no concept of day and night in the demiplane, so he did not know how much time had passed. The formation finally had a big piece of metal that was twinkling. It was the gold spirit of the highest purity. Wilbur let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off
The thunder cleaver had established a connection with him in his consciousness, and it had the ability to penetrate defenses. It was amazing. It was very hard for weapons to have additional attributes. Normally, only professional alchemists were able to achieve a feat like that. This weapon had an additional attribute, which was akin to him gaining an additional ability. It was evident that this would increase his combat effectiveness. The attribute of defense penetration was nice, and it was very threatening to those with a strong body. Wilbur would have the upper hand with the thunder cleaver if he was fighting someone at his level. Once hit by the thunder cleaver, that person's defenses would break no matter how powerful they were. One would immediately suffer from severe injuries if their defenses were weak. Those who were inferior to a Saint level cultivator would basically be dead. "Awesome," Wilbur exclaimed. He was impressed by his achievement. He was not an a
Ryder and Skyler nodded in response. The land was truly a blessed place. Ryder suddenly took his phone out and glanced at the screen. He said, "Deacon, there's a mission." "What's going on? Can't I get some rest?" asked Wilbur in a displeased tone. Ryder ran towards the office. Wilbur had no choice but to follow him. Skyler and Eileen looked at each other and went away. Ryder was in front of the computer when Wilbur reached the office. "Sir, according to the orders from headquarters, there has been a supernatural incident in Rivertune City. They instructed you to go and handle it." "What the hell? A supernatural incident?" "According to the information, someone murdered three people by sucking their blood dry before escaping. The local police and special agents couldn't handle it, so they applied to transfer the case to the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. "F*ck," Wilbur cursed under his breath. However, he had no choice but to comply because he was paid
As he slowly closed his eyes, Wilbur muttered a few chants. He then put his palms together and summoned the 'Time Reverse' spell.It was a high-level spell that required a tremendous amount of spiritual energy and strength to cast. Only cultivators above the Sanctuary level were able to cast it.Not long after, an image appeared before Wilbur's eyes.A man in his thirties came into sight. He had a murderous expression on his face, his clothes torn and tattered. He broke down the door and barged straight into the room.In the room was a lone woman. She screamed in terror as the man pounced at her. He pressed her to the ground and bit at her wildly.The woman died a tragic death as her screams slowly died down and the man sucked up all her blood.After he had drained the woman dry, there was a satisfied expression on the man's face. His body began to change as his muscles swelled and filled out the tattered clothes on his body.Following that, he excitedly drew a skull next to the
Not long after, they emerged from a thicket of trees. The trail of footprints seemed to lead further up the hill.Just as Wilbur and Ryder were about to head further up the hill, three men and two women emerged from behind them."Are there other people here?" Wilbur was a little surprised as they had already gone quite a distance up the hill.The five people looked curiously at them as well and walked over.They were all clad in designer hiking gear and had all kinds of equipment strapped to them. Two of them were even holding hunting rifles.One of them piped up first. "Don't be afraid, we're just hunting.""I'm pretty sure hunting's illegal, isn't it?" Wilbur asked.The other four people laughed, and one of the women said, "This is Jonah Jemson. He's in charge of Rivertune City. He can do whatever the hell he wants.""Is that so? Alright, carry on then." Wilbur and Ryder turned to leave.It was right then that Jonah asked, "What are you two doing here?""Oh, we're on a hike
Wilbur turned around with a frown. "Why can't you just heed my advice?""I thought there was something off about you two, creeping around like you're up to no good! You'd better tell us the truth of why you're here or we're gonna proceed forward," said Jonah coldly.Ryder could not take it any longer and piped up in a cold voice, "The Department of Paranormal Research and Defense is investigating this hill. All unauthorized people need to leave."After saying that, he took out his license, thrusting it in Jonah's face.Jonah burst out laughing. "What kind of f*cking department is that? I've never heard of it before.""That's because you don't have the right to," Wilbur said coldly.Jonah immediately became mad again and raised his rifle. It seemed as if he was about to shoot Wilbur.One of the women panicked. "Mister Jemson, don't shoot! We're just here to have fun. It won't be fun if we have a casualty on our hands."Her words seemed to work as Jonah slowly lowered the rifle a
Despite the wounds, it seemed as if Gobo did not sense any pain at all. Instead, he howled as he continued to charge forward.The super cannon could not get a fixed aim on Gobo anymore, and Ryder took out his Alloy Dagger and ran toward Gobo.Wilbur crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching the battle.Both parties collided as Gobo swung his fists at Ryder relentlessly, a murderous expression on his face.Despite being burly and clumsy, Gobo was strong enough for each of his blows to pack a punch. As such, Ryder had no choice but to avoid them.However, Ryder himself was a skilled enough fighter. His combat skills were a force to be reckoned with too.The Alloy Dagger slashed and swiped, and Ryder was able to wound Gobo considerably even as he avoided the other's attacks.Gobo's animalistic instincts seemed to be triggered even more by his newly-inflicted wounds. He howled and roared as he continued to attack Ryder.The battle between them was exhilarating.A few minute
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
