Andrius glanced around and said, “Let’s look around first.”“Okay.”With that, the two began to explore the vast underground space, and it was not before long they discovered something.The surroundings of the hall had obvious signs of human craftsmanship. There were carvings of simple totems on the rock walls and unknown symbols engraved on the floor. Everything suggested that the place was not as it looked.Andrius even guessed that the final Sky Genesis Sword might be hidden here. However, he did not know where exactly.“Yvie, did you find anything?” Andrius looked at Yvie beside him.Yvie shook her head in confusion. “From what I can see, this place looks like a sealed space. But if it’s sealed, how did we get in? It means there must be something hidden that we haven’t discovered yet.”Andrius raised his brows and thought that was true. However, he had no idea where the mechanism was.“Over there!”While Andrius was looking around, Yvie suddenly pointed at a spot on the ro
That voice was loud yet eerie, like that of a baby yet carrying a sinister and odd charm.As everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, a huge figure appeared in their sights. Everyone, including Andrius, was stunned when they saw the creature’s true form.Towering above them, it had a human face on a goat’s body with monstrous eyes under its armpits, sharp teeth, and drool occasionally dripping from its mouth.“That’s…” Visibly shaken, Briar cried hoarsely, “Gluttony!”“Yes, it’s Gluttony!”“I can’t believe Gluttony himself is here. It’s truly unbelievable!”The others were also shocked.Gluttony was one of the Four Calamities alongside Chaos, Depravity, and Ignorance, and it already possessed extraordinary talents in its youth. Among the Four Calamities, Gluttony stood out for its greed and desire. According to legend, once Gluttony matured, its unparalleled ferocity could devour the earth. It would possess unfathomable ability and could create or destroy w
Each strand had the full power of the Darkness stage. If combined, they would have the power to kill a god.Even from a distance, Andrius could perceive the terror of those techniques. However, Peyton simply folded his arms behind his back without concern.“How arrogant!”Enraged, Cloud unleashed his true vitality, causing thousands of threads to emit a dazzling light, even brighter than before. He was before Peyton in an instant, just about to strike.“Hiss!”At that moment, Peyton suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath, sucking all the silk threads into his stomach. Then, while Cloud was horrified, he burped.“Is this the technique you’re renowned for in the cultivation world?” Peyton’s nonchalant tone carried a hint of disdain.“It’s nothing much.”Then, he attacked with his palm. A powerful palm print appeared in the air, enveloping Cloud completely.Bam!Cloud was sent flying backward, and as he crashed into the rock wall behind, he coughed up a mouthful of blo
Briar scoffed. “In that case, why did you create a path that killed the high-level experts who came with us?”Gabriel and the others also stared at him coldly.However, Peyton explained expressionlessly, “I killed them to test your luck.“Luck may seem elusive, but it can change destiny at a critical moment. Without luck, it’s better to withdraw early.”No one expected Peyton to talk about a massacre so matter-of-factly. It was no wonder he provoked anger and faced retaliation five hundred years ago.However, the nature of cultivation went against the heavens, and seeking treasure and obtaining fate would indeed require luck. Thus, they all had to put their grudges aside temporarily.“Well, then.”Peyton glanced at everyone and extended his hand, summoning a long sword.The Sky Genesis Swords that were sent flying earlier all flew into the air, and just like that, the nine swords were gathered!The scene shook everyone, and they stared intently at the nine swords in the sky, a
Even after Andrius released all his punches, he did not pose any threat to Gluttony.On the contrary, when Gluttony struck his claw, cracks spread in the air before swiftly mending together. However, the sharp wind from the claws made Andrius’ face pale.“Divine Wanderer.”In an instant, Andrius slipped away and narrowly avoided the claw. Though, before he could rejoice, a fierce wind rose behind him. The claw was coming back!Boom!Andrius knew he could not dodge, so he turned around to strike with his palm. Energy, firm like a mountain, instantly collided with the claw.With a crisp sizzle, Andrius’ palm energy was torn apart. However, as the claw had also expended a considerable amount of energy, they canceled each other out in the end and disappeared together.Andrius asked in a low voice, “What is the meaning of this?”“Hahaha…”Gluttony laughed with a hint of admiration in his eyes. “Not bad. You may only be at the early Darkness stage, but you can withstand my attack. Y
“I won’t ask for much.”Gluttony said frankly, “As long as you aid my smooth passage through the Great Progression stage, I’ll promise you many requests. In fact, I will even give you a generous reward that the outside world will kill for.”Andrius was intrigued by the reward. After all, the reason he could progress so rapidly was largely because of the inheritance from the Mountain Sage.Speaking of which, the Mountain Sage was also in the Great Progression stage. If Gluttony was true to his word, Andrius could break through to a terrifying realm in a short time and do even more impossible things.“Okay.” Andrius agreed. “Since it’s a win-win situation, I have no reason to refuse.”“Smart decision.” A smile appeared on Gluttony’s face. “I’ll inform you of the specifics later. For now, prepare for the operation in half a month. Goodbye.”“Goodbye.”Gluttony’s figure flashed. When he appeared again, he was already dozens of meters away, and after several flashes, he had disappe
In just half a month, Andrius had progressed further. Coupled with the Mountain Sage’s profound techniques, he felt even more confident about the upcoming operation!“It’s time,” Andrius called out softly and awakened all his team members.Clarissa, Yvie, Halle, and Noir woke up from their meditative states. After a simple preparation, Andrius led the group to the previous gathering point.“Andrius.”“Andrius.”Briar, Cloud, Lionel, and the others greeted Andrius when they saw him.Andrius could tell that their injuries had healed and their spirits were particularly high. It was clear they had made ample preparations over the past half month.“Everyone is here.”Just then, a figure stood before the group. It was none other than the extremely powerful Gluttony, Peyton Skyseeker.Feeling his intimidation, everyone tensed.Peyton smiled and walked to Andrius. “Andrius, I didn’t expect your strength to improve significantly in just half a month. Your soul is so pure and powerful
Andrius’s heart skipped a beat when he learned that the item Gluttony gave him was an internal pellet capable of hurting Gluttony himself, and such sincerity surprised him.He could not help but ponder. It seemed Gluttony’s previous statement about wanting to cooperate with him was not a lie.“However…”Seeing Andrius’ reaction, Lionel suggested, “Andrius, you can’t fully utilize the potential of this internal pellet with your current strength, so why don’t you give me that internal pellet in exchange for a treasure from the Draco clan?“I have a pearl that will allow you to move in water as easily as walking on land, a sword that will make your sword energy more lethal and destructive, or an armor made from silkworms from the far north that offers remarkable protection against true vitality. It’s a rare treasure. I also have…”Lionel listed out one treasure after another and explained the details of each treasure to Andrius. However, Andrius was unmoved.All he did was glance at
