Fane took a deep breath, deciding that he no longer wanted to waste time on them.He shot up into the air as he formed multiple seals, materializing 100 Soul Swords in front of him. The Soul Swords glowed with gray runes and radiated with the power of the soul that flowed within the Soul Swords. If one was to look closer, it was as if countless little snakes slithered around the Soul Swords.Joaqim and Josui exchanged looks and saw the disdain they felt for the other side.Joaqim scoffed and said, "Leave this to me! If the two of us attack together, we'll just embarrass ourselves."With that, he leaped into the air.Josui, on the other hand, stood still with his arms crossed, showing no indication that he would do anything. He had a cold smile on his face as he looked at Rudy and Chad.While Chad sighed in relief, knowing this was no two-against-one battle, and felt slightly less burdened, Rudy shook his head. If it was one-on-one combat, this battle had no more meaning to Fane.
Joaqim merely felt like his hands were ripped by a formless energy. Even though there were no wounds on his hands, his soul felt like it was ripped apart from the inside.The Soul Sword harmed a person's soul, and Joaqim looked on as the Soul Sword pierced through his hands right into his chest.A wave of unbearable pain started to spread from his chest, and Joaqim's eyes widened as his muscles began to pulse from the intense pain. He could not even control his own breathing. His true energy stopped circulating, and he started to fall down.With a boom, he slammed onto the ground face-first. Everyone looked at the scene with widened eyes.Joaqim lost in mere minutes!How Joaqim struggled to survive was etched into their eyes. Even struggling so frantically, Joaqim was still no match for his opponent. They were not at the same level at all. Even more terrifying was the fact that Fane had not used his full strength. Of the 100 Soul Swords he formed, Fane had only used 50 of them!T
Chad recalled how he and Josui laughed at warriors from third-grade worlds, deeming them worthless. They had been so harsh with their words, but in a shocking twist of fate, it was them writhing on the floor like worms.It had not even been that long, but the situation was overturned too swiftly. Chad's lips trembled as he recalled what Fane had said before, and his words were etched into his mind. Before the battle, he did not lack confidence. Chad even wondered if Fane was crazy. After all, he believed so strongly that Fane could not possibly beat two of them at once.Chad took a deep breath. His hands constantly trembled, and he was so emotional that he was at a complete loss for words.Fane activated the laws of space, appearing next to Josui. At that moment, Josui was completely lost in the pain.Fane reached out and grabbed the golden keys from Josui's waist.Three golden keys shone brightly. Fane held them all and looked at Josui coldly. Without any hesitation, he put them
Fane frowned, activating the laws of space again. In just a moment, he appeared next to Mikael, but it was too late. The charm was already burnt, and Fane's image had already been sent out as the charm turned to ash.Mikael's lips curled up into a smile as he turned to look at Fane. He had a crazy look on his face as he sneered, "They'll avenge me for sure! They definitely will!"The moment he said that, he slammed his fist onto his head, and an explosive force killed him.Rudy stomped his feet on the ground anxiously, incredibly frustrated. "That dog!" he snarled. "We should've killed him first! No, that would've been too nice for him, still… We should've slowly cut him into pieces!"Chad sighed. It was too late. Fane's face had been identified, and Mikael killed himself before they could do anything. Everything was finished, and the outcome could no longer be reversed.Rudy gritted his teeth and said, "This guy really is decisive! He killed himself the moment he did what he want
As long as an individual was strong enough, keys would come to them with no sweat. It had not been that long, but Fane managed to collect 13 keys. Rudy believed that it was just the start.Fane took a deep breath and looked into the distance. "We'll continue walking to the Stage of the Nine. It happens to be toward the middle anyway."Chaos City was like a huge circle. The closer to the center it was, the more people there would be. All of the warriors who entered Chaos City only advanced in one direction, which was the center.The Stage of the Nine that was closest to them happened to be closer to the center compared to them. All they needed to do was to continue advancing.After dealing with the three, Fane and the others continued forward.At that moment, Chad seemed to be a lot calmer as his worries were cast aside. With Fane by his side, they were in no immediate, fatal danger unless they were unlucky enough and met a top chosen disciple from a holy grade clan or a gang of wa
Rudy covered his mouth. "What's going on?! They actually started fighting!" Back then, they had discussed the possibility of an open war between second and third-grade worlds. At that moment, Fane had determined that it would probably not happen. After all, the third-grade worlds all had their own plans, and even if they did not like the warriors from second-grade worlds, they would not start fighting so easily. If they did, warriors from third-grade worlds would suffer a greater aftermath than those in second-grade worlds. Since that was the case, they should not have started an open battle so easily!Fane took a deep breath as he looked at the intense battlefield, not knowing what to do. Something unforgivable must have happened, or such an intense battle would not have happened.With another massive boom, Fane saw a warrior being blown to bits. His arm had been split in two, and his other body parts were catered everywhere.A few others were harmed by the shockwaves, but even s
The moment that was said, Chad said in a trembling voice, "It's Quinton! Fane, look! My elder disciple has been surrounded! Please, help him!"Many people were on the battlefield, and it was hard to tell them apart. A few people were at the fringes of the battle as well. Comparatively, they were more split up, and it was a battle between teams. Teams from second-grade worlds would face similar teams of warriors from third-grade worlds. The closest battle to Fane and his companions was about 100 meters away from them.Chad immediately spotted his familiar fellow disciples. Quinton led his disciples and was fighting a small team from a second-grade world in an intense fight.Quinton's side was on the losing end, alas. They had been surrounded by a team of eight. Chad could tell that their opponents planned on finishing them all—no survivors allowed.Chad panicked at that. Quinton was responsible and did his role as the top disciple, protecting all the injured disciples. He himself fa
Quinton and the others decided then and there that they would die together.They coldly looked at their opponents.There was no other choice in that situation for them. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they had to injure their opponents in some form. They could not surrender as nothing good would come of it.Quinton took a deep breath and composed himself. Nothing was left except for resolve.He looked at Brian's mocking expression. Quinton knew what they were thinking, and he knew that they scorned warriors from third-grade worlds.That did not matter. If they fought back with full force, they would be able to make their opponents suffer the consequences of such actions.Quinton took a deep breath and shouted, "Hear me, brothers! We'll burn our blood essence and charge forward. Even if we lose our lives, we have to make sure they suffer for all their crimes against us. If we can only drag one of them down to hell with us, then so be it!"All of them nodded, their eyes
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.
