Matthew’s complexion turned ghostly pale in his fear as he turned to look. Fane’s attack was far more powerful than before, and the speed of his attack was too fast. Fane had caught up to him within moments and was obviously faster than him.“Fire Phoenix Strike!” Realizing that Fane was dangerously close, he had no other choice as he turned and injected his Chi into the ultimate-grade spiritual tool in his hands before blasting him with his sword.Several others within the range of attack also stopped and unleashed their attacks.“Urgh!” A huge phoenix, seemingly made of Chi entirely, appeared before Matthew as it charged forward, carrying a horrendous wave of movement in its wake.Thoom! Thoom! Thoom!Fane’s flying swords swarmed the blazing phoenix and attacked it continuously before the latter was blasted away. Despite that, Fane’s flying swords continued to move forward and mitigated the other attacks.Although they were consumed, the attack power of every flying sword was a
Looking at Fane who collected the battle trophies on the ground, a middle-aged woman from the Pavilion of Gods and Kings exclaimed, “This guy is too indomitable. So many surrounded and attacked him, yet he managed to kill more than twenty of them without any wounds on his person. If Matthew and the others didn’t run fast enough, they might’ve died!” “We can’t offend this guy; we might even have to build a good relationship with him. We’re lucky that we’ve been acting low-key all this time and never offended him! Although this young guy is in the peak stage of the true god-level, his combat power had long surpassed his fighting prowess. I suspect that his combat power is comparable to that of an ultimate god-level, and I’ve never seen a master in the ultimate god-level, too!” Harry exhaled a long breath. What he witnessed, especially those last two skills Fane unleashed, were embedded deep in his mind. The First Elder of the Pavilion of Gods and Kings nodded as he spoke, “Yes, and I
Matthew and the others planned to find accommodation before they could decide what to do next. They were prepared to observe the movement of all the forces on land during this period.Apart from that, they sent two people back to the Hall of Divine Royal so they could lead some masters in the true god and semi-god-levels back. They planned for these masters to stay on islands close to the land so they could then come when they needed a grand size of manpower upon order.At this moment, Fane, Harry, and the others went to the huge chamber hall.“Well, Master Harry, let’s be honest with each other. I’ve also obtained one of these stone balls but failed to see anything from it after studying it for two days. I know that you’ve studied it for some time. Have you obtained anything from it?” Fane laughed and added, “If you did, perhaps you can share a thing or two with me!”“Haha! You’re a very straightforward young man!” guffawed Harry after being stunned for a second. “So many visited
Fane smiled bitterly. “I’ve just obtained this thing several days ago. I’ve studied it during these two days and have gotten some information about it, but not as much as you did. I concluded the same thing as you did!”Harry and the others were not surprised at Fane’s reply. After all, they had studied the stone ball for so many days and all of them were experienced, but they still failed to get anything. Fane had just gotten the stone ball, and he only had one ball. Without extra balls, it was natural he did not dare to burn or do anything to it in fear of accidentally destroying it.On the contrary, Harry and his people had three balls. They were able to take one for testing and to see if it could be easily destroyed.They did not expect, however, for Fane to speak up after a moment of silence, “I have a bold idea.”“What is it?” Harry and the others immediately asked.Fane thought about it and said, “I’m thinking that we won’t be able to get anything out of it if we continue t
“Haha!” Harry burst out laughing as he added, “That old weasel Joel is very cunning. He’d want to get a stone ball through whatever means necessary if he hadn’t had one already, so you best be on your guard. He won’t dare steal from us, the three ancient clans, but I’m not so certain about your Woods family. That is, if he doesn’t have a clear idea of your true strength.” “Hmph! Unless he doesn’t come over. If he dares come to our Woods family, I’ll make him regret it!” scoffed Fane, absolutely confident with his current strength.Harry nodded thoughtfully and replied, “Yes, and I heard that the Skies Pavilion had lost six masters in the peak stage of the true god-level. When they traversed the dangerous area, they encountered numerous strong monster beasts and fought with two other ancient clans. The Skies Pavilion suffered the biggest loss this time, and they might not dare confront your Woods family.” “That’ll be for the best. Although I’m not afraid of them, the Woods family w
As he grew angrier at the thought, Joel mumbled, “My Skies Pavilion wouldn’t have been afflicted greatly if it weren’t for you.”Lily, however, heard it all as her head whipped toward Joel furiously. “Joel Collins, what are you talking about?” she hissed. “How can you blame this on me? Who could’ve known that a few indomitable monster beasts would appear when you sent six masters to ambush those three from the Woods family, killing all six in the process? Can I be blamed for that? I’m not those monster beasts!”Lily’s eyes turned red from anger as she continued, “Also, I’m not the one who forced you to go to Bright Snow Mountain this time. How can you blame me when you guys were the ones who went by yourself? I only asked you to help me kill Fane and the others…”The sight of a teary Lily softened Joel’s heart as he coaxed, “Alright, alright… Everything is my fault, alright? I won’t blame it on you next time.”Joel paused momentarily before he continued lamenting, “Still, we’ve suf
“You mean that the other first-class aristocratic families that entered Bright Snow Mountain with the Hunts didn’t get the stone ball either, and no one knows which aristocratic family got it?” The news shocked Joel for a moment before the joy settled in his system. “If it’s not with first-class aristocratic families, it might be in the hands of someone from the second or third-class aristocratic families. If that’s the case… Haha! What good news! We still have the chance to ask around, and I believe news of who has it will be revealed. We’ll then take it from whoever has it once we know who has the stone ball!”Joel thought about it and asked, “By the way, how about the Woods family? Which dangerous area did they go to? Any news about their situation?”“Members from the Woods family, Cabello family, Ximenes family, Lanaster family, and several smaller families went to Black Windy Island together. I think the Woods family didn’t want to enter the same dangerous area as the Hunt famil
All of a sudden, a young man from the Woods family rushed in and reported, “Master, Young Master Fane, several people are...are outside, wishing to have an audience with you.” “Who’d visit our Woods family at this hour?” Nash frowned before he questioned the young man who bore the announcement, “Only several people came?”“Yes, and there are only five or six of them, yet they’re acting awfully mysterious!” responded the man with an awkward smile. Fane frowned as he immediately continued asking, “Mysterious? What do you mean by that?”“They wear large bamboo raincoats and all of them have hats that cover themselves. It seems as though they don’t want to be recognized,” the man explained.Deliberating his thoughts, Nash then waved his hand. “Go and bring them in.”Once the man who made the report left, the First Elder immediately said, “It must be somebody from other families who wishes to ask about the stone ball. They must be here to ask if Young Master Fane managed to study an
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
