Chandler looked like he had swallowed two bottles of poison after he said what he had said.Maynard frantically ran over to the carriage. "What do we do? Three fiends at the late-stage of the innate level! Are we any match for them? Do we still have time to flee?"Even though these bulls seem to have been provoked, we've done nothing to provoke them. Do you think they'll chase after us if we run right now?!" Maynard was already incredibly panicked at that point.Fane glanced at Maynard before he said, "If we even take a step back now, the bulls will instantly attack. Don't even think that they'll show us mercy."Even though the bulls had yet to attack, Fane could clearly feel that the bulls were already at the limits of their anger. It was like they had been thrown in a pile of fire."Then, what do we do?!" Maynard was frantic, losing all sense of reasoning.Fane let out a sigh as he retrieved a gray sword from Mustard Seed. "We fight!"Maynard's eyes immediately widened at Fane
Even though the Blazing One-Eyed Bulls were at the late-stage of the innate level, to Fane, they were nowhere daunting.On the other hand, Chandler and Maynard's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they heard those words, thinking they had misheard Fane.How was he so brazen? Did he think the bulls were only in the acquired realm that he wanted to handle two bulls on his own? He would handle two of them, even when he was at the initial stage of the innate level?Maynard grabbed Fane's arm. "Are you crazy?!"Alas, the bulls did not dally for Fane. Lowering their heads, they adapted a forward-rushing stance, and a second later, they ran full speed ahead.Chandler's face darkened. Even though he was only an informal disciple at the Rosefinch Pavilion, he was still incredibly rich in combat experience. He knew that the servants around him would not be able to survive if the Blazing One-eyed Bull managed to charge toward them.He shot forward like an arrow. Producing his swor
However, it was already too late. No matter how strong the Blazing One-eyed Bull was, it was just at the initial stage of the innate realm. Fane was using an ultimate god-level skill. Even the strongest disciple of a fourth-grade clan was no match for him, let alone a fiend at the late stage of the innate realm.Fane let out a cry as he pierced out, and the tip of his sword pierced right into the fiend's eye once more. The sword destroyed the fiend's eye, and blood splattered everywhere. Cries of anguish followed after.Destroying the Void did not target the physical aspect but rather the soul. Fiends were already weaker than humans in the first place. Even humans at the same level as those bulls would not have been able to withstand Fane's attack.The bull could no longer stand properly. Just like the other bull, it fell to the ground, looking deranged as it rolled continuously on the ground, constantly crying out in pain.Fane had been incredibly quick and decisive in his attacks
Even though the Blazing One-Eyed Bull's attacks were not that strong, he was not strong enough to seize the advantage. If they continued fighting like that, it would be disadvantageous to him.If either of the other two bulls came over, he would definitely die. The more he fought, the more nervous Chandler got. Beads of sweat kept forming on his head, and his face was as pale as paper. Even his breathing was beginning to get erratic!As his anxiety peaked, a grey glint suddenly flashed next to him.All Chandler heard was the sound of something being pierced, and the Blazing One-Eyed Bull let out a cry of pain. When he looked back over, he saw that the bull's eye had been pierced by a grey sword.The eye shattered like glass! The next second, the bull that had been undefeatable in Chandler's eyes fell on the ground. It writhes as if it was going through hellish torture. It rolled on the floor in pain.At that moment, Chandler thought that the person who had attacked must have been
The sun was setting and it shone on the narrow road through the valley. It illuminated everything in a reddish hue. Fane admired the view from the window. The scenery outside of the carriage was quite special.Middle Province was rich with resources, and the scenery was much better than West Cercie State. If not for the threat of the fiends, Fane might have spent a few days there to admire the view. It would have helped to calm him down and plan out his next steps."Fane…" Chandler's expression looked like he was struggling.Fane raised an eyebrow, not expecting the sudden respectful tone. Before, Chandler had regarded him rather casually. The respectful tone almost caused Fane to laugh. However, he did nothing to address it. Chandler could do what he wanted.Fane closed the curtains and turned to face Chandler. Chandler took a deep breath. His eyes were incredibly conflicted. "Are you really…an early stage innate realm warrior?"Fane shook his head, saying honestly, "I've never s
Chandler pursed his lips. "If you put your focus into alchemy, you won't have any time to train. You're so talented. If you waste so much time on alchemy, it would be such a waste of your potential. You'll end up regretting it!"Chandler was incredibly firm with his words, especially the last part. Even if Fane was about to earn a lot of spirit crystals, it would mean nothing. Increasing his power was the most important.If he got stronger, he would naturally be able to win over more riches. Furthermore, increasing the quality of one's pills would require a lot of time and effort! It was incredibly slow as well.Having great potential for fighting did not mean having great potential for alchemy. Fane raised an eyebrow. He naturally knew all of that. If he did not have the soul-gathering crystal, he would not have chosen a more distant and difficult path either. Yet, with the soul-gathering crystal, it was no longer a problem. All he needed was a bit more time. Fane nodded. He was
After all, Heavenly Pills used quite a lot of resources in bringing them up. Alchemy was something that innately required a lot of spiritual grass and medicines. When those resources piled up, they cost a pretty penny. Gilbert Hughes let out a soft cough as he poured a cup of tea that was at the perfect temperature. "Mr. Simmons, you must be tired. Have some tea to soothe your throat. You've been so busy today."Let me help you with these small matters. This entire shop will be absolutely spotless."Mr. Simmons raised an eyebrow, nodding happily, "You know me so well, Gilbert. I wouldn't be able to hand this over to just anyone, but you've always done things really well. I can relax handing over this matter to you."As he said that, Mr. Simmon's smile got wider and wider. Gilbert nodded, revealing a very appropriate smile. It was as if he was incredibly grateful to those words.However, Gilbert did not mean any of those words at all. Instead, he found it very amusing. The only re
After a long time, Mr. Simmons nodded and replied, "Since you've come here to be a student, you should be mentally prepared to be one."My nephew asked me for this favor, so I'll naturally agree to it. Gilbert, go find a room for him. In the future, you'll be his senior. Remember to bring him along wherever you go."Gilbert tried his best to control his expression that was about to sour. He let out a stiff smile and uttered, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."Even though he did his best to control his tone, Fane could still feel something amiss despite the plain nature of his words. He glanced at Gilbert.Gilbert looked quite friendly, but Fane could feel a coldness behind that warm exterior. Gilbert was incredibly unhappy at Fane's arrival. It was as if Gilbert was afraid that Fane would steal his position.That surprised Fane. Gilbert did not even give Fane a chance to speak before he raised his right hand and stood aside, inviting Fane elsewhere."Come with me, I'll ar
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.
