He was unable to move at all. Even his breathing slowed down, worried that he would lose control if he breathed too hard and touched the chains. Everyone who saw that was suddenly stunned.The small-mouthed man and the small-chinned man exchanged looks of surprise. They never expected someone so strong to be right there. The black-cloaked man was not worthy of fighting him at all.The black-cloaked man looked at Fane with eyes full of fear. At that moment, he did not even dare to move or speak.Fane coldly looked at the man, "Just because you're from a second-grade world, it doesn't mean you're better. Honor needs to be earned. You shouldn't rely on something that's out of your control. Everything you said just now was just an excuse for the failure you'll suffer in just a moment. The rules are in place, if you can't change them, then shut your mouth. There are countless strong warriors from third-grade worlds. It's hard to say who would win in an all-out battle."The black-cloaked
No matter how loud the discussions around him got, Fane was not affected at all. He coldly looked at the black-cloaked man. The man took a deep breath, not even daring to look at Fane. He felt like the masked man was like a demon from hell.Even the warriors around them could feel how strong Fane was, so he was naturally the one who felt it the most, being the primary target. Earlier, when their techniques clashed, he could feel that his attack had been worth nothing at all.He had been captured like a wild dog, unable to even move. He had not even dared to beg for mercy. The pain he felt earlier was the worst he had ever felt in his life. Suddenly, all his arrogance vanished.In front of those who were as strong as that, his pride and dignity disappeared without a trace. He did not even dare to hate the person in front of him. The difference in strength was too great for him to think about hatred.Fane raised an eyebrow and looked at the other two, "Since you've already been assig
He was wearing a mask because he did not want to stand out. He had left a deep impression on a lot of people in Chaos City. His name was spreading, and quite a few people could recognize him through his face alone. When they squeezed past the ground, they bumped into quite a few people. As they walked forward, they would bump into arms or step on their feet, but everyone was already used to it. It was something unavoidable, so they would glare at most.Rudy's lips twitched as he reached out to grab Fane, whispering, "We've been moving for so long and we haven't even made it that far in. These guys are so weird. Why is everyone gathering here? The plain is so wide, can't they just move further out?"That was something Rudy could not understand. The Violet Seven Deaths Array was at the center of the whole plain. In front was a large city. Yet, everyone was only gathered in the center area. There was not much of a crowd in the outer areas.Initially, Rudy thought that there was somet
Fane did not really understand the reason for that, but Fane felt like that was probably his own fault. The hero that created those rules must have had a reason for all of it. Everyone was already used to the fact that those who failed would be kicked out anyway.Of every ten groups that entered the Violet Seven Deaths Array, around three groups would pass. The others would all be eliminated. Fane and Rudy walked forward for a long time. They noticed that people would get tossed out like trash every so often.After around fifteen minutes, they finally reached the registration area. A skull-masked caretaker was coldly looking at everyone there. They did not seem to have any emotions as they mechanically carried out their duties. With Mustard Seed with him, Rudy would be able to follow Fane wherever Fane went, so Rudy did not need to sign up at all. The caretaker reached out his gray arm, "Violet Warrant."Fane immediately handed the warrant over. The caretaker formed some gray seal
Fane felt quite exasperated at the unique situation. The two of his teammates actually knew each other. Not only that, they were enemies who had fought each other before. There was a deep conflict between them. They were immediately at odds with each other the moment they met.None of them had even bothered to look at Fane the whole time. They were so focused on themselves. Earlier, Marth still had a smile on his face even though he saw Lourain. Fane could tell that Marth did not want any conflicts with Lourain at that moment. After all, Marth knew very well that passing was the most important, not his personal grudges. Even if they had some conflicts before, they should forget about it. Yet, Lourain did not seem to care and was focused on his grudge.He was even saying loudly that he did not care about passing. Just to vent his frustrations, he was willing to fight right away. Marth had still been able to stomach it initially, but he lost his temper when Lourain got progressively
Rudy scoffed and said, "The second-grade worlds are full of people like you who can't seem to look at themselves in a mirror. I really don't know what goes on in your head. You're always able to find flaws in everyone else and push all the problems onto others. You act like it has nothing to do with you. You're just full of excuses. Don't you think it's hilarious?"Lourain lost his temper at those words. The true energy in his body completely exploded. However, the pressure was nothing to Fane at all.Fane reached out and unleashed his own power, stopping Lourain's energy. Lourain coldly glared at Fane. Fane felt Lourain was looking like he was about to die from his anger the next second. He said thunderously, "Even if we manage to pass the Seven Death Array, I won't let any of you off. I will make sure you regret everything you've done today!"Lourain said all of that through clenched teeth. He was already at the limits of his temper. He felt like the whole world was going agains
He raised his voice and said, "You sure are getting very excited. Why don't you introduce yourself, then? You're insulting me so much, but you can't even beat me! I know who you are very well. You're from the third-grade world, Hundred Hand Continent. You're from a ninth-grade clan, and I heard you were an inner disciple. It would be one thing if you were an inner disciple of a holy-grade clan, but you're just from a trash ninth-grade clan! Stop trying to show off in front of me, you have no right to!"The two of them were exposing each other, and they started to quarrel once again. Fane sighed helplessly, not really wanting to get involved in their conflict.Even though he did not like Lourain either, he understood the value of taking things slow. Everything should be pushed behind for the moment since the most important thing was the Seven Deaths Array at that moment. After the two of them exposed each other, Fane had a good idea of the situation.The two of them were just slightl
Fane scoffed, not caring about how Lourain looked at the rest of them. Fane would not allow Lourain to be a problem when the time came. If Lourain decided not to do anything when they were attempting the challenge, it was still something Fane could handle.However, if Lourain decided to sabotage them instead, then Fane would absolutely not tolerate that. If Lourain really decided to cross the line, then Fane did not mind giving him a deep impression.Fane coldly looked at Lourain, "When we're attempting the challenge, you can hide behind me if you think you can't do much. I'm not hoping for the two of you to be all that useful, but it'll be fine as long as you don't drag me down."Marth was stunned to hear that. He never expected the person who had been so quiet the whole time to say something like that. It seemed like Fane was incredibly confident in himself. Was he exceptionally skilled?Just as his thoughts wandered, Lourain shouted, "What? What did you say?! Who do you think yo
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.
