After a while, a deathly pin-drop silence enveloped the main hall. Severin could even discern each person's different rhythm of breathing.News of Xavier invading Eastplain and killing three half-immortals in quick succession, came as a bombshell to everyone present. Severin, in particular, frowned severely as he could tell from Kugen's account that Xavier had grown stronger. It had reached a point where Xavier dispatched half-immortals with ease."The situation has taken a rather complicated turn," Severin mumbled. According to Kugen, it was likely that Xavier succumbed to the allure of the deviant path. After all, if 'Baldwin', the leader of the Primordial Sacred Land, could become the Ancestora's clone, then it was entirely possible that Xavier was ensnared by its influence.He had barely gotten the chance to enjoy a brief respite after an arduous half-month, yet it was starting to become apparent that he needed to salvage the situation in Eastplain. He could not bring himself to
Carson's voice trailed off for a moment before he continued, "I fear that the Grandiuno Sacred Land will be their next target if we sit idly by and do nothing to help Eastplain."The second elder, Willette, expressed his support with righteous indignation."Carson has my full support! Xavier has overstepped his bounds. Today, he has slain three half-immortals. Tomorrow, he might slay another three! This matter is also very much connected with the Ancestora. Should the seal be broken, then Bleurealm will be plunged into calamity," Willette exclaimed fervently.Amethyst nodded and directed his gaze towards Severin. He seemed to be asking if Severin agreed.Severin's mind was preoccupied with Kugen's earlier revelation regarding the celestial domain, but he shared the same view with everyone. Standing idly by without helping Eastplain was out of the question. "I am of the same view."Seeing as there was unanimous agreement to aid Eastplain, Amethyst declared, "Then I shall seek Adria
Over at the Menzies ancestral land at Eastplain, what should have been wisps of mystical clouds and purple mist that blessed the land had turned into rolling thunder and dark winds that whipped up a flurry of debris into the sky.The ground was covered in blood that converged into a river at the entrance to the Menzies' ancestral land. There were ripples in the void within a several-hundred-mile radius, and chaotic energy raged unabated.Their ancestral land that was deemed a sort of heaven on earth had since been turned into disarray.The several remaining family members activated their formations under the leadership of the family head to mount a desperate resistance against the Primordial Sacred Land.Standing suspended in mid-air, Xavier could feel the wind blowing right beneath him. He placed his hands behind his back and glanced haughtily at the Menzies' formation in front of him. With contempt in his eyes and derision in his posture, he sneered at Baldwin, "Perhaps the Menzi
As strong as Adrian was, he had unfortunately sustained severe injuries in his battles at the northern and eastern seas. Whether or not he would ever regain his peak strength remained to be seen.Baldwin nodded in agreement and praised Xavier, "You are powerful, and Adrian is but a mere toothless tiger before you!"Following a pause, however, he goaded at Xavier. "You still need to be careful of Severin though. He possesses the Green Emperor's Pagoda and has tremendous combat strength too."Baldwin was still shaken from his last encounter with Severin in the Eastern Sea, where Severin displayed a combat prowess that rivaled that of a level nine paragon despite only being level six. By relying on the Oculus Blade and the Green Emperor's Pagoda, Severin could easily gain the upper hand against Baldwin.Throughout his life, Baldwin had never encountered such a formidable opponent. He already had a feeling that Severin would become a very serious threat if not dealt with soon.As a re
Baldwin lowered his arms upon the sight and half-squinted as he observed the rippling void in the distance. An airship soon emerged from the void, radiating a resplendent light."The Grandiuno Sacred Land has arrived," Baldwin remarked coldly.Just days prior, they had vied for the dragon's treasure trove in the Eastern Sea, and the Grandiuno Sacred Land emerged victorious. It was one of the many reasons that Baldwin resented that sacred land.Xavier sneered contemptuously upon hearing that gazed at them haughtily."I'll happily kill anyone who sends themselves to meet their end in my hand," Xavier said flatly. His ascent to immortality required him to consume the half-immortals from Eastplain's eight major families, and Xavier viewed any form of opposition as a sign of a foe. With the Grandiuno Sacred Land's becoming an enemy, Xavier was determined to retaliate against them.He turned to Baldwin and instructed, "Hold them off for the time being. I'll help you out after destroyi
Severin raised his hand and swung lightly, calling up a sudden burst of light from the Oculus Blade. A sword beam resembling the morning sun was sent forth, piercing the air audible as it headed straight toward the black mist.A thunderous explosion soon occurred, resulting in bright sparks throughout the sky. Everyone aboard the Sumoon Airship witnessed the unfolding battle, with elders and disciples alike rushing out to engage the Primordial Sacred Land's disciples who had surrounded the entire area. Within moments, the sky was filled with a kaleidoscope of divine techniques that flickered like rainbows in the sky.Battles and chaos abounded, yet none dared to interfere with Xavier, who strode alone towards the Menzies ancestral land. His eyes, marred by avarice, gleamed like those of a bloodthirsty wolf. With a swift motion, he placed his hand onto the Menzies formation and shattered it immediately.Meanwhile, the Menzies' half-immortal ancestor, who was severely wounded, had joi
Baldwin dragged his skeletal remains in mid-air after being struck with Severin's sword energy and roared fiercely, "Severin!"Severin's attack had inflicted serious injuries upon him and filled him with an unparalleled sense of panic. It was an outright defeat unlike their last encounter in the Eastern Sea, where he had managed to momentarily subdue Severin with his peculiar techniques before succumbing to a gradual defeat despite his best efforts. At present, he was left utterly and completely powerless to retaliate against Severin.Filled with an unprecedented horror, Baldwin let out a frustrated roar before turning to Xavier, "I need your help, Xavier!"It was impossible to face Severin alone. A great amount of effort had been needed just to produce the clone, and he needed to preserve it at all costs instead of letting Severin vanquish him. Therefore, his only hope was in Xavier's intervention. Yet, despite Baldwin's plea, Xavier seemed to be so engrossed in his own battle agai
At the same time, Xavier raised his right hand and formed it into a claw to intercept the incoming fist. The divine power of the Stellar Punch burst like a bubble upon contact, yet the force that Xavier had produced continued its trajectory at lightning speed toward Severin.Laskin hastily warned despite his faltering energy levels, "Be careful! That attack contains the entire might of the Primordial Sacred Land!"Three half-immortals had perished in the Eastplain. The other major families were incredibly fearful of what might befall them, hence their decision to fortify their abodes and activate several protective formations. When the Menzies came under attack earlier, Laskin had already sent out a distress signal to the other families. Though he remained puzzled over why aid had not yet arrived, the Grandiuno Sacred Land's presence gave him much hope.Alarm bells were going off in Severin's mind when he realized that his Stellar Punch had been thwarted. He swiftly positioned the G
