Standing behind the white ape, Verity’s crystal-clear eyes flashed with surprise as well. Could Albert really get in just like that? What exactly had he shown the ancient ape earlier?Confusion and curiosity welled up deep inside her heart.Great joy surged through Albert now that he had gained permission to enter, and his tense mood finally eased. This thatched cottage undoubtedly held the greatest fortune within the entire Heavenly Domain Secret Realm. He could never let Verity claim it all. He had long made up his mind that if he failed to get inside, he would simply wait outside for her to come out—and then he would have no choice but to act ruthlessly. After all, they were already rivals, and there was no need for him to show any mercy.He stepped forward quickly and stood beside her behind the white ape.Verity glanced at him and smiled softly. Lord Dragon Leader Albert truly has boundless means. You can even seize such a rare opportunity. No wonder you have achieved so much at

Albert nodded, deciding not to press further about the divine medicine for the time being. He smiled and asked gently, I have come here to obtain precious herbs capable of elevating soul rank. Do you have such treasures in stock?The white ape smiled in reply. Naturally we do. This Heavenly Domain Secret Realm supplies nearly half of all soul essence needed across the entire sect.It hurried over to a frosty black ice shelf, then took down a honeycomb-shaped jade artifact shimmering with profound cold radiance.This holds roughly several hundred vials of Seven-Star Soul Essence, plus over thirty vials of Eight-Star Soul Essence.Ecstasy instantly surged through Albert’s heart. Hundreds of vials of Seven-Star Soul Essence were worth hundreds of millions in total!He had struck incredible fortune out of nowhere!Just as he was overcome with joy, the white ape suddenly shook the jade artifact in confusion. Huh? Where has all the stored soul essence gone? It’s all vanished completely.The

Albert was about to follow when he spotted something familiar inside the cauldron. Upon closer look, they turned out to be Primal Soul Fruits. Most of them were charred and broken, retaining only faint wisps of lingering energy.Clearly, most of their essence had already been extracted, leaving nothing but mere remnants.Albert blinked softly. Though these were merely leftover scraps, they still held traces of medicinal power. Discarded casually by the white ape, they still possessed considerable value.After all, those waiting outside the thatched cottage had not even caught a whiff of the fruits themselves.He quickly spoke up. Senior White Ape, may I take these away?The ape glanced over in surprise. They are nothing but useless scraps... You are truly frugal, Your Holiness.It waved its paw indifferently. Help yourself.Albert promptly waved his hand, gathering all the leftover Primal Soul Fruits within the cauldron. After a quick selection, he kept those dried fruits that still r

Faced with this unfathomable evil creature, Albert dared not show the slightest contempt and unleashed a lethal strike right away.Verity also wore a solemn expression. Four brilliant stars whirled rapidly behind her, summoning a phantom identical to herself—the Water Spirit Envoy.The moment it emerged, water-attributed energy between heaven and earth surged toward Verity.She stretched out her slender palm, shimmering with emerald radiance. Her fingers moved gracefully as if plucking strings, emitting crisp jade-like tinkles. The glow burst forth and formed a giant emerald hand seal, crashing head-on into the charging blood serpents.Divine-tier Technique: Star-Snatching Emerald Hand!A violent energy shockwave erupted instantly, splitting the ground with deep fissures.The two serpents condensed from blood-stained hair suddenly bared their fangs. Pale human hands stretched out from their jaws, weaving bizarre hand seals that churned thick blood mist.The mist swept across, dissolvi

They had witnessed just how terrifying the evil creature was. Even with Albert's combat strength at the Mid Heavenly Spirit Realm, he might not escape alive from its grasp.Dale let out a sigh.Albert broke into a bright smile. You know me well. I could never stand idly by and leave you all in peril.There is no use dwelling on this now. We ought to figure out how to defeat that fiend.Thurman from the Primordial Ancient Academy wore a bitter smile. The creature wields power equivalent to the Perfected High Heavenly Spirit Realm. What's more, I suspect this is far from its true limit. It never truly fears our numbers. It has merely been toying with us all along.In its eyes, we are nothing but desperate rats running for its amusement.Everyone’s expressions turned grim. They had harbored the exact same feeling deep down.Farah roared angrily. Curse it! Why do endless evil creatures keep emerging in this secret realm? What on earth are those divine-level guardians outside doing?No one
