"What the hell is this?! Why is there so much purple mist? What is it trying to do?! Could this mist be poisoned? Will I die of poisoning here?!"He had already let fear and shock fill up his heart. He did not even care for his own dignity anymore. He was terrified that he would die there. Fane did not say a single thing as thoughts flashed in his mind.He still remembered what he read on the Purple Soul Plate. After winning, he would get a reward and be sent to the second location.Woosh.Suddenly, a howling wind could be heard next to him. The gust of wind came incredibly suddenly. Both Fane and Manfred lost their footing in the wind. Thankfully, Fane was always on alert and was not blown to the ground.Manfred was not that lucky. After the purple mist had surrounded Manfred, Manfred was only left with fear and shock in his mind. Manfred did not fall on the ivory floor of the Purple Soul Hall, but on mud instead.Looking around, the ceiling of the Purple Soul Hall had turned in
Manfred thought about it for a moment. He felt like there was a high chance that he would die to those beasts.At that moment, the cold voice resonated again, "There are two battles in the Purple Soul Hall. Each battle needs two participants."After the victor is determined in the first battle, you will get time to rest. After the time is up, the second stage commences! It's already time for the second stage. For this round, you only need to touch the Purple Soul fruit to win."After the voice spoke, a purplish-gold glow could be seen behind the two Purple Soul beasts. After the glow dispersed, a tree that was about the size of half a man appeared in front of the two of them.There was a Purple Soul fruit was about the size of a fist. Even though the two of them were not close to the fruit yet, they could still feel the energy flowing within the fruit even from a distance. The massive fruit would be able to attract attention where it was, considering the massive amount of energy th
Just as Fane was deliberating the problem, Manfred's voice was suddenly heard."Bastard! Even though we have deep grudges, I can temporarily forgive you for the sake of our lives. The two of us have to work together to solve this problem."We'll only be able to leave this place if we work together! Didn't that voice say earlier that the two of us would be sent out together if we touched the Purple Soul fruit at the same time? The fruit will be split into two as well. It would be fair for both of us!"Hearing that, Fane glanced at Manfred. He say that Manfred was looking at him quite sincerely, as if he really meant it.Fane could not help but snort, not answering Manfred immediately. Manfriend was infuriated when he saw that Fane was acting up even just giving a response. Fane was so disrespectful!Even though he sounded nice, he had another plan in mind. As long as Fane agreed to deal with the Purple Soul beasts together, he would definitely do something to Fane after they succes
The laws of space activated. He was already quite close to Manfred to begin with. With Fane's sudden actions, Fane was in front of Manfred in a second.Manfred never expected that Fane would suddenly attack him. Before he could do anything, he felt a sharp pain on his back. A massive force was felt behind him, and he shot forward right at the two Purple Soul beasts like a sack that was being thrown.Manfred immediately understood what Fane was doing. He could not help but curse out loudly, "You despicable and shameless person! I won't let you off lightly. I'll rip you to shreds!" Fane had already heard words like that so many times. He just let the words brush past him, not caring at all. Manfred was still an inner disciple of the Unbreaking Pavilion. Even though he could not react to Fane's initial attack, he was still able to quickly adjust himself and stop the forward flying momentum.However, everything was already too late. The moment Manfred shot towards the two Purple Soul
The Purple Soul Beast could think for itself as well. It could tell that Fane was still not used to Fane's current strength. It wanted to use that change to attack Fane again. At the very least, it wanted to injure Fane.The Purple Soul beast was incredibly quick. It caused Fane's heart to race as Fane narrowed his eyes and activated the laws of space immediately. He quickly changed directions in mid-air, and kept a distance from the beast.He could not let the beast get too close. Otherwise, he might lose his life that day!The beast had incredibly strong defenses, and the beast had yet to use its natural born technique. The beast merely used its claws to slash at Fane. Clashing against Destroying the Void, it might have been injured, but the results were much worse than what Fane expected.It was obvious that Fane would not be able to kill the Purple Soul beast quickly, so Fane was forced to get closer to the Purple Soul fruit with all his might!"Ah…" A cry of agony was heard b
That caused Manfred to lose some hope. He could not just keep running like that. His true energy would be exhausted eventually. The Purple Soul beast was stronger than him and definitely had more true energy. The moment his true energy ran out, he would be faced with death.However, the purple soul beast would definitely suddenly attack him if he wanted to get close. He would have to change directions for the sake of his life. The more he fled, the further he would be. Manfred hopelessly found that it was a vicious cycle.At that moment, he looked toward Fane. He noticed that Fane was constantly adjusting his distance from the beast, and constantly attacking the beast. What shocked Manfred was the fact that the beast attacking Fane already had two slowly blackening front claws. It was as if some sinister energy had tainted them.At that moment, Fane did not even think about anything around him. His full focus was on the beast in front of him. The laws of space constantly activated b
However, there was nothing he could do no matter how loud he shouted. Fane had already reached Fane's hand out towards the Purple Soul fruit. As Fane reached out, Fane turned to look at Manfred as well.Manfred could see a deep look of mockery in Fane's eyes. Fane was looking at Manfred like Manfred was the village idiot. It then did Manfred realize that Fane had always regarded him as an idiot.During the start of the round, Manfred had even tried to bring up an alliance, trying to say that the only way to win was by working together. In truth, he had other plans, and Fane had already seen through them. In the end, he became a tool to attract attention! Manfred felt like he had been played like a clown!However, it was already too late to say anything. Fane's hand had already touched the Purple Soul fruit. The moment Fane touched the fruit, a bundle of purple mist enveloped Fane, and Fane disappeared the next second.Manfred shut his eyes in hopelessness. There was no way Manfred
Fane gave the plaza one last glance before he headed to the city gates. He did not just gain a lot from Black Sun City, he had gotten a few pieces of important news as well.He was forced to replan his future moves. After exiting the city, Fane immediately used the voice transfer array to contact Rudy. In just a moment, Rudy was seen running towards Fane.Rudy widened his eyes as Rudy measured Fane a few times, "You're actually fine! I've really been letting my thoughts wander these few days. I've been constantly worrying about you!"Fane raised an eyebrow, "These few days? How long was I in there for?"Rudy raised four fingers, "It's been four whole days. I've been waiting outside the city the whole time. I was worried that someone would notice me. I even set up a simple obscuring array."I was so scared the past four days! I noticed that no one has come out of Black Sun City at all in those four days. You're the only one who's come out!"Fane raised an eyebrow as his thoughts w
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.
