“Damn it, it's getting out of control!” At the same time, the man with the same level as Lydon sighed. His eyes darkened and said, “In that case, let’s cooperate with him or he might die here.” “Demonic Field!” At his command, a dark color with a bloody stench gushed from the man’s body. The others were shocked before they looked at the two of them and sighed. “Sea of blood rises!” “Demonic Field!” The blood mist spread, and demonic energy surged. Other practitioners sensed that something was wrong and fled in fear. They knew they would probably die if they stayed here! The distance between them and Philip and others was already far enough. This time, they fled thousands of miles away and watched from afar. As their distance grew bigger, the scene became clear. Blood red and black intertwined to form a huge formation on the battlefield! Demonic energy filled that formation, and the blood-red color slowly formed a huge shadow that exuded a powerful vibe. On t
Philip looked at the scene with raised eyebrows, but his expression remained unchanged. Around him, the Greenpeak Sword Formation exploded with more powerful sword energy, bursting with bright light as it attacked the blood shadow with an unstoppable force. The next moment, the rules of wind added to the sword energy to make it stronger. The onlookers were shocked. “Is this guy going to use the power of rules to fight the opponent?” “Although the other party is also using the power of rules, a special art isn’t something that ordinary people can destroy easily!” “That ignorant young man really thinks he’s above the rest!” “Hehe, we can look forward to a good show. Maybe we can witness the fall of an exceptional talent.” The onlookers spoke mockingly. In their opinion, Philip could not be stronger than Lydon and the others no matter what. After all, all of them were nine stars, almost the same as Philip. Even if this special art used the power of rules, the joint for
Philip chuckled, and flames appeared all over his body again. This time, he planned to use his self-created special art to wipe out the opponent's Demonic Sea of Blood in one fell swoop! “Wind Fire Chimera Fist!” Philip muttered. The rules of wind and laws of fire appeared around him and gathered on his fists. Boom! A mighty aura gushed from his fists, forming a huge red and green fist in the sky that was infused with the rules of wind and laws of fire. Wind aided fire, which made the power of laws even stronger! The next moment, the fist that was full of energy blasted at the Demonic Sea of Blood with a mighty force. Boom! Where the fist passed, darkness shattered, and a huge crack appeared in the sky, devouring the surrounding energy greedily. Seeing this scene, Lydon and the others shrank back. Lydon snarled. “Quick! Gather all the demonic energy, or we’re going to die!” The others quickly reacted, and the fear of death made them stronger than ever. They co
Hearing this, Philip turned to Regus, who spoke. Regus looked quite serious with an indescribably complicated look on his face. “What is your purpose for hiding your strength? Your level should not be just the early stage of nine stars. At least, I’ve never seen someone at the early stage of nine stars who can launch an attack to counter someone at the peak of nine stars! “To be able to kill you completely, I think it’ll probably take three practitioners at the peak of nine stars or a pseudo holy being. Perhaps even someone at the holy tier.” Although Regus spoke lightly, his tone was grave. Philip was surprised by his remark. “A pseudo holy being? What’s that? “As for hiding my strength, I’m sure everyone is doing the same. I just don’t want too many people to target me. “Many people in this world are jealous of talents, so they’ll notice me and attack me. I don’t want to be targeted as soon as I enter the ancient ruin. You should understand this.” Philip's voice was
Regus was silent for a moment before a powerful force surged from his body as his level increased to the middle stage of nine stars! Regus was an exceptional talent too! As the most outstanding talent of the Beelzebub royal family, he must have holy artifacts as well! Sure enough, a long sword appeared in Regus' hand. Killing intent exuded from the sword. It was obviously a deadly weapon of the holy tier, and faint wails could be vaguely heard from it. “Slash!” Regus muttered as the sword appeared. The next moment, a black shadow appeared on the sword. It slowly detached from the blade and hovered in the air. The black shadow did not exude any presence, but it made them feel extremely oppressed and fearful. The black shadow instantly appeared in front of several people with lower practice levels. After standing in front of a man for a brief moment, it turned to the next person. Philip clearly noticed that the man was dead! Countless wounds appeared on the man’s body
The level of the pseudo holy being was determined by the degree of comprehension of the laws, from levels one through nine. If one’s comprehension of the law had reached more than 70% and the level had reached the peak of nine stars, one could be considered a pseudo holy being. Regus did not tell Philip anything beyond that, because Philip had not reached that level yet. “With your strength, you can compete with most powerhouses at the peak of nine stars. If the other party hasn’t reached the level of the pseudo holy tier or doesn’t have many holy artifacts, it might not be that easy to kill or suppress you.” Regus looked at Philip with a complicated expression. Philip smiled but did not say anything. He was fully aware of his strength. Although he could fight a practitioner at the peak of nine stars, it would be difficult for him to kill or defeat the other party unless he used all his means! After all, nine stars and above was different from the previous levels. The h
Licht grinned upon seeing this. “The white tiger royal family had a great time attacking me just now. Now, it’s my turn!” With that said, Licht charged at Norman. Norman was about to run when he saw Licht and Regus rushing over. He scowled and realized something. He was doomed today. There was absolutely no way he could escape from the hands of two people in the middle stage of nine stars. Norman stood on the spot and took a deep breath. He glanced at the people in front of him coldly before turning his attention to Philip. “I never thought that I’d fall in your hands, an exceptional talent in the early stage of eight stars!” Norman scowled darkly as he emphasized the latter half of the sentence. No one could accept the fact that Philip had concealed one whole level from them. Philip glanced at Norman but could not be bothered to reply. After all, Norman was a dead person in his eyes. Meanwhile, Licht and Regus appeared in front of Norman and attacked him with the
Cesar was startled upon hearing this and pondered with a frown. Indeed, as Jonas mentioned, this thing might be a mecha, or this situation would not be happening. However, no one had heard of a pseudo holy tier mecha on this continent! How could someone explain this? Cesar frowned and looked at Jonas in great bewilderment. “If it's a mecha lifeform, who created it?” Jonas was silent for a moment before he said, “Do you know how a holy being can reach the holy tier? And what’s the opportunity that everyone’s talking about?” Cesar was taken aback and blinked his eyes, indicating that he had no idea. He often heard that once the opportunity came knocking, one would reach the holy tier. Seeing Cesar's action, Jonas sighed and said, “The so-called opportunity needed to reach the holy tier actually refers to the comprehension of this world, the understanding of the path, and the bestowment from heaven and earth. “As far as I know, among the practitioners in this world, so
“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
