With the support of the laws of space, the air around the Soul Swords suddenly distorted. They disappeared in front of Fane, and when they appeared again, the three Soul Swords were already at the backs of those three.The three of them felt a chill on their backs as a sharp aura rose behind them. They turned back and were so shocked at the sight that it was as if their souls left them. The next second, a pain that seemed to permeate into their bones spread throughout their bodies.The three of them were in so much pain that they lost all sense of rationality. They lost the ability to control themselves, and just like those other warriors that had their souls devoured, the three of them spasmed on the floor like worms from the pain.When Maxcus and the others saw what was happening, their jaws dropped so widely to the point two eggs could be stuffed inside!Unbelievable—absolutely unbelievable. This could not be happening!Joran widened his eyes as he said, "Pinch me! I have to be
Grook looked at his brother exasperatedly. Since they were young, their personalities were far different from each other. Despite being the older brother, he had always been more introverted and tended to worry over things. His brother, on the other hand, was different. Goyle had always been a carefree person and would always think positively no matter what.Grook sighed as he patted Goyle's shoulder. "I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but the two of us are only slightly stronger than your average warrior. I think you're setting your sights too high by saying we'll make at least a million. It's quite likely we won't get that much."Goyle frowned. "There you go again. You're always so miserable! You love to look at the negative side of things, worrying too much! I just set that goal to give us some motivation. After all, it's better to aim for the stars and get the moon. I'm trying to push us forward, but you keep holding us back!"The more Goyle spoke, the more frustrated he got.
The demons looked humanoid, but there were still some differences. For instance, the limbs of the demons were longer, so they did not walk the way humans would. They walked more like gorillas that were not fully mature and would always slouch when they walked forward.However, the two demons in front of them were steady in their steps, just like a human, which was an oddity on its own.The more Grook looked, the more he felt like something was off. He had killed quite a few demons as he and his brother had also killed two crimson demons before with a team effort. Despite having seen many demons, however, they never saw a demon that resembled much like a human. It was strange no matter how they looked at it.The two of them exchanged a look with each other before they took a step back. However, the next second, the two demons that were advancing at an even pace suddenly sped up. The green demon immediately rushed in front of the two of them.At that moment, they realized that those
The few of them participating in this would not be able to get much more than scraps, but it was not bad. Furthermore, all of them had greedy ambitions when they were assigned the tasks, yet it was different when they actually carried them out.Looking at the warriors that he had knocked unconscious, Brock sighed, feeling a bit reluctant. He was mostly worried. After all, if what they did was known everywhere, it would cause a lot of chaos. The two of them might even be dragged into it.Kent could tell what Brock was worried about. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Since we've accepted the task, don't dwell on it too much. Just take things a step at a time. In the worst-case scenario, we can just hide."Even though the two of them were reasonably strong, no one would care how strong they were when the masses were rioting—they would be hated no matter what.Brock sighed helplessly. "Triton and the others must've thought about this, and they must've thought about a way to deal with it
Kent nodded before taking out the small, unique array. It looked like a blinking token from afar, and it had two green spots on it.The green spots represented the fact that they were alive. If any of them died during the task, the spots would turn red. There was the number seven on the array, representing their results, which signified they had successfully caught seven people.The array was a part of the Vermillion Tune Formation. With the task ongoing, everyone would be given a small array that was used to determine their location, status, and results.The Vermillion Tune Formation was in the cave that Desmond and Seymour were in. At that moment, the Vermillion Tune Formation was in an activated state. Four people stood in front of it, looking at the countless blinking green lights on the formation.The green lights were all in different spots, which represented the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. As the warriors moved, the spots would move as well.Maintaining the f
Of course, he could not voice such suspicion. After all, he was a leader, and if he was not confident, he would never be able to lead his subordinates to accomplish their tasks.Desmond turned to look at Pascal. "How long has it been?"Pascal looked at the array in his hand. "It's been fourteen hours."Desmond frowned as he looked at the top of the Vermillion Tune Formation. There were large red letters that showed '117' on the formation. The number indicated the progress of the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. At that point, they had captured 117 people alive.If they wanted Heartblood, they would need to make sure that the captives were alive. Then, they needed to use the cruelest methods to obtain as much Heartblood as they could.Desmond took a deep breath and said in displeasure, "They only got a hundred and seventeen people in fourteen hours? What are they doing? How did the first day yield so little?! It's not like it's a hard assignment!"Desmond got angrier as
They had only been hiding behind the hills as observers, not daring to step in at all, but the three of them did not expect that Fane would rush to them after he dealt with Tanner's group. The three of them were stunned.After all, none of them expected that they would still be noticed despite the distance. The three of them only realized their error when Fane rushed over to them with his sword in hand.Right after that, Lourain arrived as well. His eyes widened in shock when he saw there were people hiding there. They truly underestimated Fane's perception!Fane was a soul attribute warrior. After training in that attribute for so long and absorbing so many treasures, his soul was as strong as one that had gone through a few hundred years of training. It was several times stronger than the soul of a regular person.The stronger the soul was, the better one's perception would be. Even warriors at the peak did not have a perception at Fane's level. The moment those three even saw Fa
Maxcus had a wry smile on his face as he told Fane and Lourain what happened to them.After hearing Maxcus' explanation, Fane's expression started to ease. From what Maxcus was saying, it was likely that Maxcus was not lying. If it really was as he said, Fane could let him off.Just as Fane was thinking about it, two green demons and two crimson demons with straight postures started to quickly head toward them.The four demons were incredibly quick and much more agile than regular demons.Brock held the mask on his face as he turned to look at the other green demon."Hey, Lenny! You know how we are! Don't even think about pulling any tricks. Since you said you wanted to work together, make sure everything is fair and above board. Otherwise, don't even bother with 'working together'. I'll get you if I ever find out you pulled something!"Lenny had a green demon mask on as well. Underneath the mask, his expression was a bit twisted as he tried to hold back the disgust in his heart.
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.
