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
The Starfall Continent did not lack powerful warcraft. Although the warcraft could not fight against a holy being, pseudo holy beings would not pose a problem. That being the case, who could be sure that a mecha in the pseudo holy tier did not exist? Cesar stood in a daze after hearing Jonas’ explanation. After some time, Cesar smiled wryly. “In that case, all the talents here are being hunted down by an intelligent mecha lifeform?” “Not necessarily. As I said, it may also be an extra-terrestrial creature,” Jonas said solemnly. Jonas closed his eyes and explored with his senses. Finding that the suffocating vibe had disappeared, he rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a tired look on his face. “Okay, let's leave Sin Capital as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for us for the time being.” “There’s not only the holy artifact in the ancient ruin. We can look for other things too. Let's find a way to improve ourselves first.” After saying that, Jonas rushed in
A gleam of appreciation flashed in Philip’s eyes. He still favored Regus. Since Regus was willing to pay the price, Philip did not mind telling him. “My main purpose here is to subdue the people in this ancient ruin. As for the holy artifact, I don't really care about it,” Philip said in a relaxed and indifferent manner as he looked at the people around him. “Now, I’ll give you two choices. Either you submit to me and see me as your master, or you die. There’s no third option.” Everyone looked at Philip in surprise. Regus frowned and said, “Submit to you? Impossible!” Philip smiled and said, “Do you want to choose the second option, then?” Although Philip said so, the energy around him remained motionless. However, Licht and the others could clearly sense the tremendous pressure from him. They felt as if they were about to break down from the pressure, and they scowled. Even Cora's expression changed slightly. Regus frowned. He had no hostility toward Philip. He j
“Okay, let’s start by being friends. We can talk about submission or whatever when we leave the ancient ruin. I don’t think you need to force us to take sides for now.” Licht and Regus looked at Cora as she spoke. There was nothing wrong with Cora’s suggestion. They could use this duration to test Philip’s strength and character. Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, “I’ll give you guys half a year, then. This ancient ruin is still more than half a year away from closing anyway.” “That’s fine,” Cora said without hesitation. Regus and Licht nodded too. To be honest, they thought they knew Philip very well, but after Philip revealed his real purpose, they felt otherwise. Philip did not bother to explain anymore but led them to the Bizarre Bazaar. There were other treasures in this ancient ruin, and Philip planned to visit those places to improve his ability. … North of the ancient ruin. Light green energy rushed ahead along with the wind flow. After so
“Life hangs by a thread!” Jonas frowned. His prediction this time was to see the outcome of the city folks, but this was the result of that prediction. “There are still a few people inside, and one of them has even reached the peak of nine stars. Is that person’s life hanging by a thread too? “Even if that thing is a pseudo holy being, the guy at the peak of nine stars should have a holy artifact in hand. He should be able to put up a fight for a while.” Jonas muttered to himself, and his worry was obvious. He finally understood how terrifying Sin Capital could be. Normal people should not be here at all. Jonas exhaled, but his frown did not relax at all. “What should we do now? Can the monster escape from Sin Capital? If it does, what should we do? “Also, why did that monster go berserk after that scream?” Questions popped into Jonas' mind one after another. His mind raced, but there was no certain answer. On the other hand, Philip and the others also overheard t
In the depths of Bizarre Bazaar, Sin Capital’s North City. “My lord, what should we do now? That monster has completely gone berserk. Someone seems to have stolen the holy artifact!” A man in a long robe worriedly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged man said calmly, “So what if that thing has been stolen? Calm down.” The man in a long robe was startled and said anxiously, “My lord, if we can't get the holy artifact back quickly, everyone in the city will be killed by that monster! All our painstaking efforts over the years will be in vain!” “Vinny, what do you think is the difference between the people in Sin Capital and Bizarre Bazaar?” the middle-aged man asked this question instead of replying. Vinny paused with a thoughtful look. After a while, Vinny said, “I don’t know, my lord.” The middle-aged man smiled as he stood up and walked to the door. The man quickly arrived at the door and looked at the gloomy and dark Sin Capital where roars
“That person’s son?” Vinny trembled and asked, “Lord Bizarro, who's that person you always speak of?” This middle-aged man was none other than the actual person in charge of Bizarre Bazaar, Lord Bizarro! Lord Bizarro smiled and said, “Sin Capital, including these mecha lifeforms, was created by one of the mighty beings, whom we may call Primus. “There’s another person above Primus. I don't know her name, but it won’t be wrong to call her the Supreme One! “Everything in Sin Capital was arranged by the Supreme One, including these lifeforms created by Primus. “There’s only one purpose, which is to train her son, but I don't know who her son is.” Lord Bizarro exhaled slowly. The flow of time in this ancient ruin was different from the outside world, about 1:20. He had waited hundreds of years before the ancient ruin finally opened this time. The Supreme One once said that no matter whether her son appeared or whether her goal would be accomplished, Lord Bizarro could leave t
The incident in Sin Capital finally died down after a month of ruckus. Meanwhile, two pieces of news spread in the city, with the first one being about the holy artifact. The holy artifact was stolen, no one could enter Sin Capital. Anyone who entered would be killed. The second piece of news was about Philip. Exceptional talent Philip Clarke had concealed his practice level and joined a dark organization. He was now trying to hunt down other talents in the city. He wanted to wipe out all the talents in one fell swoop, but all his traces had disappeared. He was now under suspicion of cooperating with others to steal the holy artifact in the city. According to reliable sources, anyone who obtained the holy artifact in the city could control the mecha monster! These two pieces of news spread like wildfire as soon as they appeared. In just a few days, everyone who entered the ancient ruin knew about it. Many people started forming teams to find Philip, trying to kill Phili
“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
