Lourain could not take it anymore, "What's happening? Why is it one way one moment, and another way the next!"If it was just a pure attack, it would cause them to be fearful, but it would not torture them mentally. After all, they were not the main characters. Fane was the main target of the array, and they just happened to be there.However, the constant changes felt a bit unbearable. It was as if they had walked into an incredibly scary world where the two of them had lost all of their skills. It did not feel good at all. It was complete torture."Holy crap!" Marth suddenly cried out. Lourain looked over and saw that Marth's expression was quite twisted. His eyes were completely wide as if his eyeballs were going to pop out of their sockets.Lourain's expression stiffened, "What are you doing?! What are you shouting at?! Are you just trying to scare me?"He was actually incredibly terrified at the moment, but he still stubbornly tried to act otherwise. Marth took a deep breat
What was he supposed to do next? Was Fane not supposed to be the target? He was just tagging along for the ride, so why was he suddenly being treated the same way as Fane? He was suddenly facing a replica of himself too!Fane did not dwell on his thoughts like the other two were. The moment his replica walked out of the mirror, Fane immediately attacked!He constantly formed seals that flew in the air. They fuse, and the Broken Soul Blade appeared in front of Fane.The moment Fane moved, the replica started to move the same way as well. It started to form the same seals as Fane, and it created the exact same Broken Soul Blade.When Fane saw that, even Fane had to raise an eyebrow. The copy could use Soul Sky as well. It was too shocking. However, he did not think too much about it at that moment. No matter how many tricks the replica had, the array would be broken through as long as he dealt with his opponent!He pushed forward, and the Broken Soul Blade launched ahead. He wante
Facing his clone really did feel like looking into a mirror. Even their movements were exactly the same. Fane was suddenly a little caught off guard. The metal and wood attribute arrays had been equally challenging, but Fane had not stumbled at all, maintaining his calm the whole time.That was because Fane could figure out how to get past the array for both the earlier challenges. However, the water attribute killing array left Fane lost. The clone could use his own techniques, and the power behind the techniques was equal to his. He was strong, but the clone was just as strong as he was. If that was the case, then he was completely stuck. If he fought his opponent in an intense fight, then both sides would end up heavily injured. Fane was not even sure if his clone could actually get injured.After all, that was a clone made out of the water attribute. It was not a real person. Ever since he entered the Whirling World, he had never been caught off guard before. He was in a comple
After all, this problem he was facing did not seem like it was possible to overcome at all. Even if Fane was incredibly skilled, he could not stop himself from panicking. Just as he was thinking about it, his clone suddenly shot forward. The clone was holding the gray sword in hand, and the soul attribute was frantically surging around the sword.Fane could clearly feel the power of the Broken Soul Blade behind it. The clone must have used the Broken Soul Blade while Fane was distracted, merging the technique with the sword. The slash that was coming at Fane contained incredible energy.If Lourain was the one standing there, he would probably not even be able to move after the energy locked into him. After all, Soul Sky was already at the storm god rank. Normal warriors were not able to handle it at all.Fane suddenly felt like the situation was unique. He had only ever used the Broken Soul Blade on his enemies before. He had never felt how it was to be locked into the Broken Soul B
That was the only thing he could think about at that point. Otherwise, he could not explain it at all. If this continued, he would not be able to triumph. His true energy would be depleted eventually. Then, he would end up being slaughtered. Fane clenched his teeth at the thought.He could not believe that he would encounter the greatest problem he had ever encountered there. It was possible he really had been reckless. He should not have chosen the gold difficulty. That difficulty was meant to push challengers away!With a bang, Lourain and his clone took a few steps back. Lourain was panting roughly, and his eyes were red. That earlier strike had truly shaken him.Blood was flowing down from his wounds. The clone had wounds as well, but it did not bleed. Only blue-colored orbs of light were coming out of its wounds."How dare you mock me!" Lourain widened his eyes. He could clearly see his replica let out a sneer at how much he was struggling.He could see that his clone was moc
Lourain clenched his teeth and shouted out, "Take this!" He started to form seals that danced in the air. A purple moon suddenly appeared.Under the purple light, Lourain's sword glowed vibrantly. It was as if the sword had been covered in a purple sash. Feeling it, one could sense the rich amount of power around his sword.In particular, where the purple light glowed was filled with energy. At that moment, Lourain was just furious. He looked like his whole family had been slaughtered in a single day. He clenched his teeth and rushed at the clone, "How dare you laugh at me?! Just die!"He held his sword and raised it high, aiming right at the clone. When he struck down, a purple slash headed right for the clone's chest! The clone suddenly frowned like a human, as if it had encountered a problem.It raised its sword and slashed forward as well, but it was still using the fifth stance. Right after that, there was a massive explosion. The replica had not been able to stand up to the
Fane frowned, "It's all down to this!" He rushed forward, running right at his clone. He pushed his hands forward, and the Soul Burst Ring exploded toward Fane.When the replica saw Fane's Soul Burst Ring, its eyes widened slightly. It seemed surprised and confused. However, it did not hesitate for too long. It merely stopped for a moment before starting to form seals again. The Broken Soul Blade appeared right in front of it again.Fane's lips curled up at the sight. It looked like he was right! It really was just that simple.Bang!With a loud explosion, the Broken Soul Blade and the Soul Burst Ring clashed together violently. All that soul energy in the Broken Soul Blade was crashing into the Soul Burst Ring without any reservation.When the Soul Burst Ring touched the Broken Soul Blade, it suddenly expanded and swallowed the Broken Soul Blade Whole.After that, there was an intense explosion. Two energies of the same power were trying to fight each other at that moment. It
He thought that they would have been thrown out like trash just like those before them. Not a single one of them could accept that.The three of them were silent for a long time before Lourain said, "I was so scared. I thought we would lose. I even started to feel like this stage was just to confuse us, that there is no way to pass at all!"Fane had thought so as well at one point. The same weapons, the same techniques, and the same person. It was the most equal of opponents. In that situation, they did not know how to pass at all.Marth coughed and said, "I guess I was overthinking. We thought the fake clone used everything we knew, but that was not the case. We just needed to use our strongest technique…"Lourain nodded. When they were at their wit's end, they had managed to find a new lease on life. Fane shook his head, disagreeing with Marth, "It's not like that. If all of us had used all our power during the wood attribute killing array, then this stage would be completely imp
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.
