However, Cameron rushed back up at once, continuing to battle with the beast. Dawson spun his spear around, engaged in a fierce battle with another beast. Wilbur watched as the two battles carried on but did not intervene. Both men were still able to hold their own in the ongoing fights, and Wilbur had other beasts to beware of. Within just a few minutes, the adventurers began to get worn down. The crowd retreated as they fought, getting closer to the three Sanctuary level cultivators. The Sanctuary level cultivators were currently battling against dozens of beasts at the same time. It was utter chaos. Just then, a few more beasts came charging forward. Cameron was spooked and shouted, "Be careful!" Wilbur took two steps forward, bringing his thunder cleaver down at high speed. With just a few moves, the beasts were all sliced into pieces. Following that, Wilbur also took care of the beasts Cameron and Dawson were fighting against. Both men stared at Wilbur in
The ape let out a howl. The energy waves from this deafening cry nearly caused some people to keel over immediately. Everyone's expressions shifted, trembling in the face of the ape. The three Sanctuary level cultivators had barely been able to survive a single blow from this beast. What hope was there for the rest of them? At the same time, the giant ape had started pouncing on the rest of the crowd. The adventurers scattered like mice, oblivious to the other beasts. Just then, however, Sheldon got to his feet and roared, "Nobody runs! We're fighting this beast together!" The crowd was shocked, but Kaxx also stood up and wielded his cutlass at the crowd menacingly. "I'll kill anyone who tries to run. Now fight this beast." Everyone else gasped. These Sanctuary level cultivators were using them as fodders. One of the adventurers sensed that something was off and took off running. Kaxx swung his cutlass, killing the adventurer promptly. The crowd was shocked. No one
It howled into the sky before charging toward Wilbur. Its gigantic body looked like a small hill, making the ground shake with every step. Gobu shoved Wilbur forward, shouting, "Hurry up!" Wilbur flicked his thunder cleaver backward and Gobu's head was chopped off his body, both parts falling to the ground. Despite the fact that Gobu was not skilled in combat, the attack happened so suddenly that he did not even have the chance to duck. The crowd gasped in terror. This man had dared to kill Gobu, a Sanctuary level cultivator. Kaxx and Sheldon reeled in shock, staring at Wilbur in disbelief. Wilbur sneered coldly, wielding his weapon as he charged at the giant ape. He zipped around the beast in circles at high speed, launching a dozen attacks against the ape's body as he moved. The ape's defenses were broken, and many wounds appeared on its body. Despite the wounds being minor, they would surely do some damage if this kept going on. At last, the crowd found a sl
Wilbur seemed like a thunder god just then. He hovered in mid-air, using the bolt of lightning like a whip as he sent lash after lash at the ape's body. The ape was furious as it struggled, but there was nothing it could do. With just a few strokes, the ape's cries of rage turned into agony. However, the lightning whip in Wilbur's hand did not disappear but grew larger as its power grew stronger. A few dozen strokes later, the ape was barely alive. Everyone's jaws were agape as they stared at Wilbur in a daze, unable to believe their eyes. This man was definitely beyond the Sanctuary level. These were not even powers considered humanly possible. He must be a god! Cameron, Catherine, and Dawson looked at each other, dumbfounded. None of them had expected the companion they had met on the way here by chance to be so terrifying. This was something else. A few minutes later, the ape finally let out its last cry and fell to the ground lifelessly, its body charred com
The crowd's expressions turned solemn at once. "Anyone who insults my people is a dead man. The rest of you can leave. None of you are getting anything here," Wilbur said before turning to Cameron and the rest. "Let's go see if we have any luck." Cameron, Catherine, and Dawson nodded along. There was nothing for them to worry about, not with a master like Wilbur on their side. Upon saying so, Wilbur led the way further into the valley as Cameron and the rest scrambled to follow behind him. Sheldon and the rest of the crowd looked at each other. None of them dared to even think about going after the treasure. Wilbur sparing their lives was already the best thing that could happen to them. "Let's go." Kaxx did not waste another second and turned to run out as fast as he could. Sheldon did the same, fleeing the scene. The other adventurers were at a loss for words. The next second, they began to run one by one as well. The beasts had retreated, but they would be s
Wilbur walked into the pit slowly, reaching out toward the skeleton. A mysterious force rushed into his body the moment he picked a bone up. Wilbur remained emotionless, feeling the sensation in silence. Aside from spiritual energy, it also contained a large amount of spirit energy. Any regular mortal would not be able to withstand such power, even losing their mind and going insane. A long while later, Wilbur sent the skeleton into his demiplane. Cameron and the rest heaved a loud sigh of relief the second the pressure in the air lessened. "Sir, can you please tell us what that was?" Catherine piped up curiously. Wilbur frowned. "I'm not too sure myself if I'm being honest. It might belong to an ancient tribe or an alien. I have no way of knowing, but they had to be extremely powerful when they were still alive." Catherine and the rest looked at each other. None of them were at Wilbur's level of skill and power yet, and thus could not fully understand what he meant
That was all well within expectation, as Wilbur did not sense any of that powerful energy anymore. He was just a little unwilling to give up. Seeing as Cameron and the rest were not back yet, Wilbur sat down on the ground and began to meditate. There were some new lessons he had learned that he felt the need to digest. It was later in the evening when the three adventurers returned. They did not dare to disturb Wilbur's meditation. Instead, they opened their backpacks and placed the seven gems they had found on the ground. Gems were just like jade. They were a form of rare minerals. They had been forged through thousands of years and were considered a marvelous sight to behold on their own. The gems they had found had also been absorbing the essence of the crystal skeleton and contained some mysterious energy. Wearing the gems as an accessory would be sure to improve any regular mortal's physical health, and even help them live longer. One of these gems alone could
Wilbur stopped in his tracks, staring at both men coldly. Cameron and the others were shocked. Were these two thinking of challenging Wilbur? Did they have a death wish? Instead, the two men scrambled to get down on one knee at the sight of Wilbur before chorusing, "We'd like to become your disciples, sir. Please grant us this honor." Cameron exchanged a glance with his companions. It was true that even Sanctuary level cultivators would fight over the chance to be a disciple of a true expert. Just then, Wilbur took out his thunder cleaver and swung it outward. A crack of thunder rang through the air, and a terrifying wave of energy spread out. Kaxx and Sheldon were shocked, scrambling to defend themselves. Sheldon summoned an enormous shield, and Kaxx summoned his cutlass. However, the immense power from the thunder cleaver tore through both their defenses at once. Kaxx was cut bisected at the waist. Sheldon's shield was crushed as he was sent flying over a dozen
