Horace never thought of third-grade-world warriors as people at all. In fact, he saw them as mere lambs for slaughter, so these 'lambs' trying to fight back against him was a tremendous insult to him.He would use the cruelest methods to punish the lambs who tried to retaliate; he wanted them to regret even thinking about it. He loved seeing fear, panic, and pain on the faces of his enemies.Horace got more excited."Hahaha! Are you afraid now? You should keep your cool, because even more horrifying things will come. You haven't seen anything yet!"To the third-grade-world warriors, Horace was like a wild beast that crawled out of hell, and they felt chills just looking at him. Meanwhile, warriors from second-grade worlds were all smiles, evidently elated.With Horace around, everything was in their grasp with no possible overturn of events. They would be triumphant and trample on the warriors from third-grade worlds, who would surely submit their golden keys to them.A warrior f
Everyone had attributes they were good at, so when choosing the laws to comprehend, they would usually choose the ones they specialized in. Fane used Horace as an example. Horace was well-versed in ice techniques, so it was only expected that he chose to comprehend the laws of ice and naturally formed an ice avatar.Only then did Rudy understand the gist of it all. Understanding the laws of the world merely meant understanding a certain attribute. That was because the laws of the world encompassed everything. No one could ever understand everything, so they were forced to choose one, which was what they were best at. That way, they could be enlightened to a certain degree and form a world avatar.Fane patted Rudy on the shoulder and continued, "World avatars are separated into nine stages. Horace probably only managed to learn the first stage."Rudy blinked, asking curiously, "If you form a world avatar and reach the first stage as well, whose avatar would be stronger?"Fane smirke
After Quinton explained things, Chad added, "Horace never mentioned successfully forming a world avatar before. He suddenly brought it out, so I think he must've just formed it not too long ago. I feel like he must've formed it in Cloud Valley."Fane took a deep breath. It had been something he had been worried about for a long time. He had been worried that he would not be able to find anywhere with the laws of the soul, but there was one such place in Cloud City after all! It seemed like his next stop would be that place.He needed to form a world avatar before concerning himself with anything else. With the help of a world avatar, his skills would be much better. Then, he would be even more confident when the Radiant Hall opened.As they talked, the battle was starting to take place. The two reinforcements were incredibly strong, but Robert was severely doubtful of himself. After seeing Horace's world avatar, he felt like Horace would not let him off if he lost to him. If he di
Everyone watched on as Robert flew away, unable to react or utter a word as some jaws slackened in surprise as well. Chulanne's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.Looking at the retreating figure, he finally reacted.Robert was a complete coward. When the situation grew dire, Robert tossed all of them aside and left! He did not even bother saying anything and merely shot them a glance!Slowly, the rest of them started to react as well. The warriors from second-grade worlds burst into laughter as they jeered, "This guy actually ran! He ran just like a dog!""What could he do if he didn't? Was he really planning on facing Horace head-on? As if! He's just a pest from a third-grade world. Even if he has some skills, he's just slightly better than the rest of his pesky companions. He's no match for Horace at all."He'd just be waiting for death! He doesn't want to die with the rest of them, so he decides to flee. Honestly, he made the smartest choice."Chad'
Rudy, on the other hand, was not as angry as everyone else from third-grade worlds. He was merely disgusted at Robert's behavior and abhorred those like that.He remembered how everyone looked at Robert with so much hope. Anyone who had just a bit of kindness in their hearts would never have done what Robert did.Rudy's lips twitched as he said, "This guy's heart must've been fed to the dogs, or perhaps he was just a dog all along. How could he do something like that?"The warriors from third-grade worlds merely felt despair and hopelessness. They could see how ruined their future was. These second-grade-world warriors would never let them off the hook, and they did not want to be killed off just like that. They could scatter and flee, but it would be too tragic and dishonorable.Chulanne took a deep breath before he suddenly shouted, "I don't know about you, but you can run now if you wish. It's fine to run, and it's fine to stay as well!"I'll stay and fight these despicable men
However, other than a few of those in third-grade worlds, the others did not know who the one rushing forward was at all. All of them felt like Fane must have been forced to the point of insanity and wanted to end his life quickly. Otherwise, he would never have rushed forward so blindly.As those thoughts floated in everyone's minds, Fane's Broken Soul Blade clashed against Horace's Frost Moon Slash. As these two techniques came to blows, a series of explosions were heard.Two intense energies clashed in the air, trying to devour each other. Shockwaves were produced, and the warriors closer to the center were blown back by the energy.The clash was too powerful, and everyone could even see a small energy cortex being formed at the center of the clash. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked to the middle.In the middle of the clash, a sudden shout was heard by everyone. Everyone perked up unblinkingly. Even with the explosions, everyone could hear that Horace was the one who shoute
Even if he expended all the power in his body, Horace would still fail to deflect Fane's gray blade. It broke through his defenses and pierced his body. The pain of his soul being torn apart caused him to cry out in agony as he fell from the air.Horace was someone who placed a lot of importance on his dignity. As long as he could still control himself, he would not have let himself look like that. However, facing Fane's power, all he could do was push all the true energy in his body to fight against that energy. Otherwise, he would not live to see another day!Horace clutched his chest and trembled, staring right at Fane. "Who are you?! Where did you come from?!"Anyone as strong as him should not have been here. They should have been fighting in the inner region. Why would they have much time to spare and come here? The person in front of him was someone he had never seen before either. When it came to the strongest warriors from third-grade worlds, he should have at least seen re
As that was said, Cadian's mind was a complete mess. He found himself scrambling for words as his anxiety skyrocketed. Everything that happened overturned the scenario once again, all too swiftly.Thamus' expression was dark. With a sword in hand, his eyes reddened. "I don't know! Regardless, he's from a third-grade world, which means he's against us… Have you seen him before? We've all seen the images of all warriors from third-grade worlds that are slightly famous, but I've never seen this guy before. This has to be my first time."Cadian nodded before he suddenly had a thought. He recalled something important as his voice raised, "Is this Fane?!"Everyone's eyes widened at the question.Some never heard of Fane before, but the others had Fane's name etched into their minds. Warriors from the Golden Continent and Sacred Water Continent, in particular, greatly suffered due to Fane.With Cadian's words, the short silence shattered as an uproar occurred among the warriors."He's F
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.
