Since it was quite far away, Rudy could not see what was happening. He could just vaguely make out that those who were at the corners did not look to be in a good condition. Some of them were clutching their arms, and some of them had their legs bandaged, too.They were probably warriors who, though injured, had survived, forced to tend to their wounds on the fringes of the battle.Fane saw it as well. He frowned as his eyes roamed the area, looking like he was planning something important. Rudy had just been about to ask Fane what he was thinking when Fane raised his hand and said, "Follow me there. Make sure you stay behind me. No matter what happens, don't leave my side!"Rudy nodded. At the northwestern corner of the battle, two groups of warriors were gathered. There was a distance between them, since they were from second-grade and third-grade worlds respectively. They looked at each other with animosity but did not attack.Both groups were injured and had been forced to leav
Calruz gritted his teeth as he glared at Toren viciously, silently. Toren took a deep breath, looking at the golden rings around Calruz, and he counted 23 of them. That was already enough. If they continued, they could very well pay dearly with their lives!Toren continued, "Please, Calruz, can you not be crazy?! Twenty-three golden rings are more than enough! Compared to normal warriors, our treasures will be dozens of times more valuable than theirs!"If we stay, we'll lose our lives, and you won't be able to exchange those keys if you're dead! Why don't you understand that?!"Calruz gritted his teeth, thoroughly infuriated by Toren. "Do you think you're smart? If we can't even compare to normal warriors, then we should just kill ourselves! We've struggled so much to get to the inner region from the outer region. We spent so much time and effort on so few keys! I don't want to leave just like that!"Toren did not know what to say at that point, believing that Calruz was lost in h
Some had left the center of the battle after being injured, and there were those waiting at the sidelines for an opportunity to kill people and steal the keys once the battle was over.A few had that plan in mind, but the beasts did not think that way.Many people were gathered at the sides, most of them already injured. In the eyes of the beasts, they were blood beads that they could harvest!The golden python and two other beasts rushed over, catching Calruz and Toren off-guard as their eyes widened, and their hearts nearly leaped out of their chests. The two of them never expected danger to come so quickly!If Olesm had not been so badly injured, they might have been able to deal with it. At worst, they could have fled as they fought back. However, Olesm was injured, unable to even stand up straight, let alone help. The two of them would need to avoid the attacks while they protected Olesm.This was the moment they believed their end had come.Toren cursed at Calruz internally
The two other beasts unleashed their attacks as well. After a moment, all the attacks clashed in the air, causing a massive explosion that formed a crater on the ground.Dust flew all around them, obscuring most of their vision. However, they could still hear cries of agony, and before too long, silence fell.Slowly, the dust began to settle. They could once again see what was in front of them.Calruz was stunned, still rooted where he stood after being pushed by Fane. His eyes were fixed forward as he looked at the golden python's mangled corpse. Then, he looked at the corpses of the two beasts behind that were not whole either.His eyes widened as his lips twitched. His heart was thumping wildly, and he even forgot to breathe. His hands trembled slightly as he looked at Fane again.How was that guy so skilled?!There was a massive gulf between them, especially skill-wise. He was like an ant on the ground, while Fane was like a golden phoenix in the skies.Calruz broke out in c
Calruz and Toren were so astounded that they did not know how to react. A powerful warrior wanted to work with them. It was not just a simple order either; Fane would give them a reward. Even though it was only five golden keys, it was a decent reward.Calruz coughed, carefully turning to look at Toren, unable to decide. Toren did not even dare to frown, worried that Fane would be unhappy. He merely lowered his head slightly, thinking through everything Fane had said.Toren wanted to leave immediately. It was just too dangerous there. It was no longer somewhere they could stay behind. Even though Fane said he would guarantee their safety, he did not completely trust him.Even though Fane was incredibly strong, Fane could not gain Toren's complete trust. After all, it involved his own life. They were not at Cloud City but at Chaos City instead, where death was everywhere. They were at the most dangerous place in the whole Chaos City.Nonetheless, he was worried that the man in front
Before he could finish, Fane raised a hand and interrupted him, "Don't worry, I won't send you two to your deaths like that. You just need to look for chances to attack the beasts at the fringes."At that moment, Rudy had hurried over from afar. Fane had arranged for Rudy to stay at a safer spot earlier instead of bringing him along when he first attacked the golden python. Since the situation was calmer, Rudy walked over.Rudy looked at Fane and noticed that he was getting even more confused. Fane was just planning on dealing with the beasts that were at the sides, not wanting to bother with the strongest beasts that were at the center.However, Fane clearly said that he wanted to be the final victor. His words and his current actions were a bit conflicting. If it was anyone else, Rudy would have thought they were just bragging. However, since it was Fane, he would not think that way.Fane was not someone who would exaggerate things at all. No matter what, Fane had always said thi
They were about two kilometers away from the battlefield, so they could observe the battle without getting involved. Rudy looked incredibly excited. 226 golden keys were amazing. If all of them were used to exchange for resources, it would earn them a treasure that even a divine solidifying realm warrior would want!With that in mind, Rudy was even more excited than Fane. After all, Fane was his greatest benefactor. The stronger Fane was, the safer Rudy would be.Rudy looked at Fane and said excitedly, "This was worth it!"Fane nodded as he looked at the battlefield.Rudy looked at Fane curiously, "I thought you'd kill those two."Fane shook his head. He had been hiding by the side and only walked over because he was sure that the three of them already decided to leave. One of those three, Olesm, was heavily injured as well.Even though the man named Calruz was unwilling, he forgot all of that the moment the golden python rushed over. After the three of them finished their end of
The Black-scaled Tiger would send a warrior hanging for their life with just a slash whereas those even weaker warriors would die from just one strike. After the warriors die at the hands of the beasts, they would immediately form blood beads.The tiger would get much more excited with each blood bead it acquires. Blood beads were like treasures for the beasts. After absorbing enough blood beads, they would be able to level up their skills.At that moment, the Black-scaled Tiger looked like a wolf in a rabbit den. Fane quietly observed everything the tiger was doing. It reached out its massive claw and struck at a warrior before it opened its bloody mouth to rip the warrior's throat apart, using its natural-born technique to take the warrior's life.Rudy stood next to Fane, looking up at the battlefield in front of him. Rudy could not tell what Fane was planning on doing, but Rudy's intuition told him that Fane had grand plans. Time slowly ticked away, and the three sides slowly fou
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.
