Some people started rushing to the gate excitedly. Some even attacked the people around them, trying to prevent others from entering. In the blink of an eye, four or five people were killed and fell to the ground. A figure fell from the clouds and said loudly, “Anyone who dares to make another move will be killed without mercy!” That announcement resounded over a hundred thousand miles. No one dared to make another move. They headed toward the gate obediently. The figure was about to return to the clouds when he saw an extremely fierce-looking exotic beast flying over from a distance. The beast felt extremely powerful, and every inhale formed a gust of white vapor that entered its nostrils. A serious look appeared on the figure’s face. Several people fell from the clouds and stared at the beast warily. Some people below saw the beast and froze in fear. The beast stopped and looked up at the old men expressionlessly. Philip finally saw the size of the beast. It had a s
After a brief silence, the beast said, “In that case, we accept.” The beast turned to the other beasts behind it and said, “You may enter now.” The beasts roared and looked at the humans tauntingly. Philip looked at them with chills in his eyes. These beasts would probably join forces with the beasts in the secret realm and cause trouble for them. “What a nuisance. It seems that we need to teach these guys a lesson after we enter the secret realm,” Bonnie muttered under her breath next to Philip. Philip said, “It’s okay. A few beasts can’t do much. The beasts inside are not that easy to get along with either. They must place great importance on the things inside White Imperial City too. This just makes the competition more challenging.” Byron chuckled and said, “You’re right about that. Competition is inevitable. Besides, talents can only grow through fighting, so we don’t have to worry about such things.” Bonnie flicked them a glance but could not be bothered to retort
Zenith shook his head and said, “If the beasts come out alive, the holy beings won’t take action, but we won’t stop the younger ones from sparring with each other. But if you guys don’t know what’s good for you, we’ll wipe out the entire beast clan before we go to war!” The snake beast in the distance paused briefly before it continued to fly forward, leaving a faint voice, “Fine!” The talents below sneered. As long as the other party agreed, they would not let the beasts off so easily in the secret realm. Even if they came out, they would definitely attack in groups and completely wipe out the beasts. Creatures of different species could never share the same mindset. They could not let the beasts leave alive or the humans would face another great enemy! The humans started to enter the secret realm. Very soon, only the most powerful talents were left. Philip, Byron, and Bonnie looked up at the gate solemnly. Byron exhaled, looked around, and said, “It's time for us to e
In a beautiful valley, a man lying on the ground with his eyes closed opened his eyes in confusion. “It hurts.” The man felt a burst of pain from the depths of his mind. Reaching out, he touched the back of his head. There was blood on his hand, and the man grimaced at the sight. He continued to sit cross-legged on the ground for a good rest. The injury on the back of his head healed at an astonishing speed. This person was none other than Philip. After Philip was dragged into the secret realm, he lost consciousness until now, only to find that the back of his head was injured and bleeding. However, this also made Philip realize the gap between the White Emperor's secret realm and the outside world. Even the rocks here were many times harder than the ones outside. At least, Philip would not bleed no matter how hard he knocked his head outside. After some time, Philip opened his eyes again. He used his energy to remove the bloodstains and started looking around. “The
The big roc fell silent. It was true that it had a great desire to improve its strength. However, it was also difficult for it to believe that Philip wanted to release it. Even though this was the second time Philip approached it, it still could not be certain. Seeing this, Philip shook his head. He controlled Verge Tower and freed the big roc. A mighty force appeared and moved the big roc out of the Verge Tower. Philip appeared next to it. Before the big roc could react, Philip said, “Big Roc, this is the world of the White Emperor, the White Realm. All the great paths or other powers here are complete. Even the energy is twice as rich as the outside world. "You should be able to quickly reach level nine of the pseudo holy tier if you practice here. After all, the only thing you lack now is the complete path order.” The big roc was full of mixed feelings. It was finally out. After being locked in the Verge Tower for so long, it finally saw the real world again. Sadne
The big roc coldly looked at the person who spoke. Philip also glared at the person as chills exuded from him. “Before I allow you to speak, keep your mouths shut. Do you understand?” Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing that. They realized that they could not hold a candle to the big roc in Philip’s eyes. The big roc turned to the water and said, “This is not Tri Life Water but something very similar to it. It’s called Soul Raiding Water. As the name suggests, this water can raid souls."Anyone who consumes this water will lapse into a temporary trance. It can even be used in battle to paralyze the opponent and take advantage of the short lapse. You can also say that this thing is poison.” The information about the Soul Raiding Water was almost lost in the depths of its memory. It saw this thing by chance once hundreds of thousands of years ago. A practitioner poured a bottle full of Soul Raiding Water onto another person. The latter fell into a trance after touch
“Generally speaking, something good will appear where the Soul Raiding Water is found.” Philip's eyes lit up. The Soul Raiding Water was already good enough. If something else could be found, there was no better news for him. “What is it?” Philip asked. “The Nine Lunar Resurrection Herb.” The big roc glanced at Philip meaningfully. Philip was astounded. He found the first thing he was looking for the moment he entered this place?! It was too lucky to be true! Philip suddenly remembered the suction force that pulled him in. “Did my mother do this?” The shock in Philip's eyes faded, replaced by a thoughtful look. His mother could arrange everything in advance, even accurately predicting the time when he would appear at the Beelzebub royal family, not to mention this small matter. At this time, the pseudo holy being returned to the valley in exasperation. “Palace Master, I can't get out of this place.” Philip looked at the pseudo holy being in surprise. “What do yo
When Philip and Roy had a feud back then, Philip took away many of Roy's Dragonvale guards for his own use. However, as Philip got stronger, few Dragonvale guards could help Philip anymore. Thus, he put them on farming duty in Verge Tower. It was just nice to use them to test this water. Anyway, these people had a spell planted on them and no longer had any self-awareness. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their fear of Philip increased. After all, they were under Philip's control too. Philip ignored them. He controlled the water in the creek with energy and splashed it on the Dragonvale guard. The next moment, a transparent image left the Dragonvale guard’s body, which was his soul. Everyone also noticed that the Dragonvale guard, who was in the early stage of nine stars, had turned into an empty husk. Very soon, the image returned to his body, but his mind was fuzzy, and he could not return to his senses for a long while. The big roc said, “The Soul Raiding Wa
“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
