The endless flames engulfed those aquatic plants and trees in an instant. The whole energy mine was filled with water vapor. The intense temperature practically boiled the water. The thriving plants and trees withered at this moment. When Philip was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that the aquatic plants and trees had not stopped growing. On the contrary, the flames he produced seemed to have become their nourishment. At this time, they seemed to be growing on the flames. The aquatic plants and trees wrapped around Philip, rendering him immobile. Philip lamented inwardly. It seemed that the magic circle left by the white tiger zodiac was really not that easy to deal with. The Caelum Sword suddenly appeared in Philip's hand, and the fierce sword energy swept through the entire magic circle. Philip activated the chimera sword formation. He wanted to use his formation to fight against the magic circle. The sharp sword energy continuously cut
“I’m going to rip you apart!” Lupus Wolf said as he rushed at Philip. Philip closed his eyes. He was not giving up but activating his swordsmanship substitute. Like a sharp blade, Lupus Wolf’s tail pierced through the treant’s body with tremendous wood elements. Sharp spikes emerged from the treant’s body and stabbed Philip. At this time, Philip's swordsmanship substitute came into play. He detached from the swordsmanship substitute and dashed outside without stopping. The water element covered Philip’s whole body, and he swam in the water like a fish. Every second counted, so Philip did not want to waste any more time with these zodiacs. Lupus Wolf wanted to give chase but was stopped by the middle-aged man. They had fought the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court, but there was no need to continue now. That was because the energy in the energy mine had been taken away by Philip. “Forget it. Stop giving chase. Since the energy mine is worthless now, let’s
From the system's projection, Philip could see the entire ruined city, including every link and every area's movements and activities. The ruined city was like a huge moving clockwork. The iron pillars that were rooted to the ground had disappeared, and the ruined city could now absorb energy from its surroundings to drive the entire city. In an instant, the city floated to the water's surface. “Radar activated. Unknown creatures are approaching. “Mayor, do you want to activate the invisible mode?” Philip was not in a hurry to activate the invisible mode but clicked on the projection to zoom in. He wanted to see what was approaching. When the image displayed on the projection appeared, Philip narrowed his eyes. Those so-called unknown creatures were the people sent by the ancient Heavenly Court. These people were all wearing protective shields. Philip knew that this big commotion he made would definitely be noticed. However, it was inevitable. “The other party i
“Activate the invisible mode.” The system promptly carried out Philip’s order without hesitation. The defense cannons were put away in an instant, and the city was shrouded in a light barrier. Philip's fingers kept clicking on the operation interface. He could not stay in this underwater world forever. Moreover, now that the ancient Heavenly Court had discovered this place, Philip must find another place to hide. The system gave him several suggestions for reference. Philip noticed Blossoms Valley at a glance. He had been to this place before. Although there was a diabolic power inside, the abundance of energy in that place was hard to come by. Moreover, it was still within the territory of the fire phoenix royal family, so Philip could form a collaboration with Conlay Nox. Philip promptly chose Blossoms Valley. “Mayor, do you want to consume one-third of the energy reserve to teleport?” Teleport? Philip was startled. It was the first time he had heard of it, but
Due to the previous battle, Blossoms Valley was in a state of devastation. Philip looked at this place thoughtfully. He still remembered how he got the source of life and everything that happened here. Revisiting this place made him a little forlorn. He had buried Diablo Tower deep underground. Now, the ruined city had taken its place in Blossoms Valley, turning into a new ancient ruin. The ruined city was well suited to this place as if it was meant to be here. However, Philip knew that this was a temporary shelter. Now that the whole continent was after him, he could only stay in peace and stability in this deserted place for a while. At this time, the princess found Philip. She was still in a daze at this time due to the aftereffects of the teleportation. Even Philip had not fully recovered yet, let alone the princess. “Mr. Clarke, what just happened?” the princess asked blankly. Philip smiled and said, “Nothing much. We just changed locations.” Changed locat
In this magic circle, the speed of practice could be increased several times. Of course, that was only applicable to merpeople like the princess, whose level was not very high now. The princess nodded and turned to summon the merpeople. Philip headed to the practice magic circle, which was a special area in the ancient ruins. Although the speed of practice could increase in this magic circle, the repercussions would also increase. The increase in practice speed would naturally make the energy gather faster, and this would lead to a strong impact on the ruins. He did not plan to allow the merpeople to enter the deepest part of the magic circle because it would only be harmful instead of beneficial. Giving them some benefits could be seen as repaying the friendship when the king of the merfolk kingdom gave him his heart. After the merfolk had gathered, Philip said, “I know you don't want to leave the underwater world, but now that I’m wanted by the entire ancient Heavenly C
Energy filled Philip's whole body. As the technique circulated, his skin toughness had reached its peak, and the same went for his flesh and bones. Finally, the energy that flowed in Philip’s body turned into liquid. The energy contained in Philip’s body now surpassed his current level by several times. Philip was finally able to move. He quickly walked out of the magic circle and realized that he was sweating profusely. “Little sword spirit, thank you.” Philip looked at the sword spirit and smiled. The sword spirit pouted as she looked at Philip as if there was a trace of disdain. Philip ignored the sword spirit and sat cross-legged on the ground, planning to organize the energy that he had just obtained. Although the situation just now was dangerous, the benefits Philip got were real. Although his level did not increase, his energy was much stronger than before. However, his communicator rang at this time. With a glance, Philip was taken aback by the content. [M
Philip pondered for a while. He had witnessed the strength of the Diablo Tower before. Now that there was no effective combat force in the ruined city, Philip decided to select the first option. After clicking this option, the Diablo Tower began to move autonomously. He appeared at the entrance of the ancient ruins, and Philip could not help laughing when he saw the scene. The so-called creature from another world was now watching the door for him. He wondered how the people from the other world would feel if they found out about it. At this moment, he discovered some drones flying across the sky of the fire phoenix royal family from time to time. They did not seem to belong to the fire phoenix royal family. Philip wondered. Based on Conlay’s personality, he would not allow drones from other forces to patrol the sky on this territory, so why was this happening? Was it possible that the ancient Heavenly Court had made a move on the fire phoenix royal family? Before Philip
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
