Chapter 2711
Dustin let out a low grunt as his mystical pure energy burst forth, shattering the frost encasing his arm. Using the momentum, he glided forward several yards to create a distance between himself and Lysander. His sword-wielding arm trembled slightly, and his complexion grew even paler. Lysander's evasion techniques and clone arts were simply too swift and unpredictable. There was no way to guard against them all."You've got quick reflexes," Lysander commented with a sneer, toying with the crystalline sword in his hand. "But how many times can you dodge? As long as the water element is inexhaustible within this immortal palace, my body is indestructible. No matter how sharp your sword is, what can you do to me?"As if to prove his point, the wounds Dustin had suffered from the water dragon and ice spear began to react. The lingering cold water energy stirred like a living thing, burrowing into his body, trying to freeze his vital energy and corrode his circulatory pathways.Dus

The pale golden runes sealed Lysander. He stood frozen like a puppet, his face locked in an expression of shock and stubborn defiance.The scene tore through Elysium Celestial Palace like an arctic gale, seizing the unease that had begun building after Talmor's defeat and freezing it into bone-chilling silence.The men and women, who had been indulging in lust and pleasure, had long since collapsed to the ground. Even their trembling had stopped. Only the violent pounding of their terrified hearts broke the oppressive silence.The wine pool no longer rippled, and the tangled bodies stopped moving. Even the decadent music had died mid-note. It was as if the entire palace was mourning for the two "immortals" who had fallen in succession.Valindra was also known as the "Earth Goddess". Only a roiling sea of shock remained in those captivating eyes, along with a trace of cold dread she refused to acknowledgeTalmor's defeat could be chalked up to carelessness, to his elemental weaknes

Dustin felt his body suddenly grow heavy, as if a mountain were crushing his shoulders. Even lifting his arm became a struggle.The ground beneath his feet roiled and churned, making it impossible to maintain a steady footing. Countless deadly stone spikes and rock walls closed in from all sides, sealing off every avenue of escape.Summoning the last of his true energy, his longsword erupted with a final, pure radiance. The spinning sword light formed a protective shield around him.The clash of sword aura and stone sent fragments flying, the air thick with swirling dust.Dustin's sword remained razor-sharp, each strike cleaving through massive chunks of rock. But the onslaught seemed endless. Just as he destroyed one pile, another erupted from the ground.Moreover, the crushing gravity limited his speed and strength. It made every swing of his sword a monumental effort.His face had gone even paler, and his breath came in harsh, wheezing gasps. The webbing between his thumb and

Dustin paid no attention to the stone dragon lunging to devour him or the stone spear thrusting toward his back. Instead, he channeled every last ounce of mystical pure energy remaining in his body, burning a portion of his life essence, and condensed the last trace of his inner energy into his right index and middle fingers. Forming a sword finger, he leveled it at Valindra on the platform.This strike didn't have any earth-shaking momentum or dazzling radiance. It possessed only an invisible force, refined to the absolute limit, that seemed to transcend space and defense itself, striking directly at the source."Mystical... Mindseal!"This was neither a sword technique meant to strike the body nor a forbidden art to seal the soul. It was Dustin's trump card, a secret interference technique targeting the connection between a cultivator's mind and internal energy.However, this technique would have minimal effect against Valindra when she was completely focused. But in this fleet

Valindra collapsed to the ground. She was encased in a pale golden cocoon of light like a moth trapped in amber.Her stunning features had frozen mid-expression, caught between shock, fury, and disbelief. Only her dimming eyes held a last flicker of awareness. Her gaze was locked onto Dustin, who was swaying on his feet, with his sword as the only thing keeping him upright.It didn't make sense to her. She commanded the earth element, and inside Immortal Palace, that power should have made her untouchable. He was clearly at death's door, yet he still managed to defeat her.Endless regret and venomous hatred gnawed at her remaining consciousness. But the sealing power clamped down like iron shackles, suppressing all her strength and fury inside that beautiful shell. Not even a wisp of divine sense could escape.Nearby, Talmor lay in a pool of blood, his shoulder pierced clean through. Through the haze of fading awareness, he felt Valindra's overwhelming presence suddenly snuffed out

"Dustin!" Grace shouted, her heart clenching. She could feel the terrifying gap in strength between Malthor and Talmor, Lysander, and Valindra.Without hesitation, she pulled out the vial she always kept close. Before she left the palace, her father's unfathomably powerful guardian had personally entrusted it to her with grave solemnity.He'd told her it contained the Ninefold Rebirth Pill, a life-saving treasure from the royal family's secret vault. It was so rare that even if they poured the entire nation's resources into it, they couldn't produce another.Grace rushed to Dustin's side while ignoring the suffocating pressure bearing down on them. She pressed the warm bottle into his freezing hands."Take it now. This is our only chance," she said firmly.He could feel the medicinal energy inside the bottle. It was immense and alive, unlike anything he had ever experienced. He realized immediately how rare and precious it was.Dustin glanced at Grace and saw the determination

Dustin took the hit, and he felt as if a mountain had crashed into him. The flame's impact shattered his barrier, sending him backward. Blood sprayed from his mouth and streaked behind him in a sharp arc.He crashed onto the white stone floor over 100 feet away, tumbling until his momentum finally ran out. Only after driving his longsword into the ground for support did he manage to kneel on one knee.The blade vibrated in his grip, its glow nearly gone. Whatever strength he'd just managed to recover was scattered like leaves in the wind. Dustin's chest and abdomen felt trapped between ancient ice and hellfire. His soul seemed to be getting shredded by countless fangs, each wave of agony threatening to drown his consciousness.Malthor's metal and fire abilities complemented each other perfectly. Their combined power didn't just add up, but it underwent a complete transformation into something far more deadly."You survived 70% of my Metal Void Slash and Soulfire Fist. That's some

Before Malthor could finish speaking, Cyran had already stopped arguing with him. Cyran's figure blurred, then appeared beside Dustin. His withered hand lightly pressed against Dustin's back. A stream of pure, vibrant spiritual energy flowed into Dustin, steady and unbroken, filling the hollows of his nearly exhausted body. Though it shared the same lineage as his mystical pure energy, Cyran's spiritual energy was much purer and refined. It not only repaired his injuries at remarkable speed but also nourished the very essence he had burned through."Focus your mind, young friend. I'll help you with your recovery," Cyran said quietly.Warmth spread through Dustin's entire body. The internal injuries from withstanding Malthor's dual-element attack and the strain on his spirit were healing at an incredible pace.The exhaustion from consecutive battles vanished, and his depleted energy reserves rapidly refilled. In mere moments, he had recovered over 70% of his strength. He was sh

"It's time for your execution, Malthor," Dustin said coldly, leveling his sword at him.Cyran swept his staff upward as the arcane sigil slowly pressed down from above, while Terraen cracked his knuckles, eager to jump in.Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, Malthor's face twisted into an extremely unsettling smile—a blend of madness, cruelty, and grim resolve."Execute me? You think you can defeat me?" He let out a harsh, broken laugh. His gaze swept over Valindra, Lysander, and Talmor—who were either sealed away or lying severely injured nearby. A glint of undisguised greed and cruelty flickered in his eyes."To force me to use this technique... You should be proud."Before his words fell, he threw both arms wide and began chanting an ancient, sinister incantation that seemed to crawl up from the deepest abyss.As the chant echoed, the dark gold and platinum glow surrounding him turned pitch black. A surge of evil far darker and more nauseating than dragon blo

"Watch out!"Cyran's face went pale as he swung his staff wildly. The arcane sigil flared to its full size in an instant, straining to block the claw.Terraen shouted and slammed both palms to the ground. A wall of earth, several yards thick and shimmering with ochre crystal light, erupted between the sigil and the attack.Dustin poured every ounce of his strength into the strike. His mystical pure energy surged through his sword without restraint, forming a condensed cyan sword aura that seemed sharp enough to split light from darkness. He aimed it directly at the center of the claw.The three unleashed their full defenses, but Malthor's claws smashed through them with unstoppable force. There was no stalemate, only the sound of everything collapsing.The crystal-light barrier that Terraen had conjured shattered like paper. Cyran's arcane sigil twisted violently, the swirling energies spinning madly in a desperate attempt to contain the dark energy. However, it could only last fo
