Fane thanked Byron solemnly, but Byron waved his hand in dismissal. "This is nothing. I did this because I can't stand Theo’s behavior."The two of them exchanged some words before Fane sent Byron away.Time passed by slowly, and after an hour, the aged voice could be heard again, "Time’s up! Everybody can board the Divine Void Slope now! You'll fight the Divine Void Warrior when you’re on the Divine Void Slope. The criteria to judge your failure is when you lose your capabilities to fight or when you admit defeat. Once you lose to the Divine Void Warrior, you won't be able to continue climbing up the Divine Void Slope." The evaluation standard was quite fair as everybody could proactively admit defeat if they felt that they would be badly wounded should they resume their battle."Alright! Those who wish to climb up the Divine Void Slope, you can start now. Those who do not wish to do so can just stay at the bottom." After the announcement, the crowd started to burn with excitemen
The masked man stood three meters behind Fane and eyed him sharply.However, Fane replied indifferently. "Many people wish to kill me, but those people usually end up dead.""Hmph! Such arrogance!" The masked man scoffed, one that sounded as though it boomed from his chest.Fane ignored the situation behind him and stepped onto the Divine Void Slope. The moment both his legs stepped on the ground, he felt an unseen wave of energy covering his entire body. He was unable to move as the energy was like hardened cement. Seconds later, he moved speedily and appeared at the northern side of the slope.After his body was able to move freely, Fane still felt a vague blocking force around him. Although he stood in the same space as everybody else, they were in individual spaces. Of course, Fane was not the only one who felt this.Bang! Bang!Sounds of something smashed were heard from far away, and Fane saw a disciple from the Corpse Pavilion raise his mace and continuously waved it at th
The person was startled and subconsciously stopped walking. The orangish-red light only appeared for a short instant before disappearing a second later. A translucent phantom then appeared in front of him. The phantom had a strict face and eyes filled with vigor. He had an object in his hand that looked like a crystal sphere. The crystal sphere floated in mid-air due to the phantom's true energy. He stood upright like a soldier in front of the person.This immediately attracted everyone's attention; no doubt was this translucent phantom the Divine Void Warrior the old voice mentioned. After the appearance of the Divine Void Warrior, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciple immediately got ready for a great battle. He had a serious expression on his face as he stared at the Divine Void Warrior while holding the sword in his hands tightly. Surprisingly, the Divine Void Warrior did not instantly make his move after appearing, and it felt like his appearance was to stop the people standi
These disciples were privileged people in their pavilions and had spent their lives showered in compliments. They had never suffered such contempt, and the look in the Divine Void Warriors’ eyes was extremely depressing for them."Do we look like trash? Why are you looking at us like that? You’re only at the initial level of innate level!" A few of them complained. Some of their worries dissipated as they had nothing to fear when the other party had the same fighting prowess as they did. The Divine Void Warriors standing in front of these disciples did not respond. The warrior had the same look in his eyes and there was silence, as if the warrior heard nothing.Fane crossed his arms at his chest and observed the ongoings around him with great interest. The others were speechless with his actions. As he was immersed in his own observation, he suddenly felt something around him moving. The Divine Void Warrior standing opposite him suddenly raised the crystal sphere in his hands high
Three enemies surrounded Fane, their gazes burning with resentment yet were happy enough at the thought of mincing Fane into pieces. Fane did have bad blood with all three men, and he knew they were capable of cutting every piece of meat off of him with their daggers.Fane was in a muddled state at this moment. He knew that he was in extreme danger, that the enemies were about to torture him until he died. He wanted to break free, but his body felt like it had been infused with cement, and he just could not move.A cold wind swept through his sideburns, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately turned around and saw that the masked man had a dagger in his hand as he approached Fane. The remaining two people were also on the move. All three of them had a sharp weapon in their hands respectively, and he knew what they were about to do.Sure enough, what he feared the most was happening.Suddenly, a thought flashed past Fane’s head. At the same time, Fane seemed to have a sudden re
However, Fane gave up such thoughts when he saw the change in the Divine Void Warrior’s eyes. This phantom had his own intellect, after all! This…was too…Fane felt unnerved as he could not make out what he felt. What were these things?"Let go of me! I’m sorry! It was my mistake! I won't do it again!" A heart-wrenching cry came from his left, and Fane turned around to look. He noticed that almost everybody stood still in their places, but their faces were extremely expressive. The cry came from a Muddled Origin Clan disciple.The disciple’s body tensed while a frightened expression was written all over his face. He seemed to be pleading as tears trickled down his cheek, wetting his shirt in the process. It was apparent that he had been crying for some time. He was not the only one to react in such a way, however, as most of the disciples were in the same situation when Fane took a look around.It was not hard for Fane to imagine what sort of an illusion these people were in when
Fane and Theo had caused a huge ruckus at that time, and the Muddled Origin Clan disciples dared not follow Theo to cause trouble at the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Those that did not go over also focused all their attention at that side. Hence, this disciple was extremely surprised when he realized who that person was. This guy was the first one to break through the illusion? Was he lucky, or was he really capable? The Muddled Origin Clan disciple had a darkened look on his face. He was one realm higher than Fane and was in the final stage of innate level.All of them paid attention to the chaos when Theo was causing Fane trouble. As this guy was only in the intermediate stage of innate level, they did not pay much attention to him. They had heard that he was only an elder disciple and not even a chosen disciple. The Muddled Origin Clan disciple could not accept the fact that a person he looked down upon was stronger than him. He was not even in the mood to heal his wounds."Ah!" T
At this moment, many of the people around him slowly broke free from their mental prison. Many of them seemed to be stunned and in a bad condition when they got out of the illusion. After all, the Divine Void Illusion used the weaknesses of the human heart and made them see things they never wish to face.The disciples were frightened and thankful once they escaped the illusion."Oh my god! W—What sort of illusionary skill is that? It's so…domineering that I thought everything was real! I was almost defeated!""Yes! Second Senior Brother, you’re awake too? You're so much faster than the other clan brothers!"Just as there were those who won, there were also those who lost the fight. Many of them failed and vomited blood as they had weak mental strength. These people were naturally covered by the orangish-red light and could no longer move as they had failed the challenge. However, most of them succeeded, and the success rate was as high as 70 percent. This percentage of people had
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.
