Beneath the overwhelming dread, even Euphemia could not stop her body from trembling. Traces of blood tears welled at the corners of her eyes. She quickly hung her head, daring not meet the gaze of the colossal blood-red eye. She knew a single prolonged look would rob her of her sight, and the surging terror would shatter her mind completely.The giant blood eye stared coldly at the golden sword light that had split the sky. Streaks of flame, red as fresh blood, streamed down from its pupil and spread across the world like a wildfire, before crashing into the golden radiance.The moment the two forces collided, all sound vanished from heaven and earth. Clashes of such magnitude were far beyond what Albert and Euphemia could witness with their eyes. They could only rely on their senses to feel an indescribable confrontation unfolding.The clash felt like it lasted but a split second, yet also like an eternity.When their senses returned, the battle was over. Albert stared blankly aroun

The token's appearance served as a clear warning to Nether Lord Spirit Eye. Any further aggression on his part would surely draw the full attention of Supreme Martin.Though the supreme powerhouse was currently containing the Abyss and locked in a standoff against dreadful entities, provoking him would spell immense trouble.Thus, Nether Lord Spirit Eye resolutely abandoned his urge to kill Albert.My apologies. He let out a dry chuckle and bowed slightly toward the token. Then he stepped backward slowly. The crimson vortex expanded abruptly and swallowed his figure whole.With his departure, silence descended upon the land once more.The token above Albert's head turned into a wisp of flowing light and slipped back into the spatial orb.Albert regained control of his senses. He stared at the empty space before him, where a faint trace of fragrance still lingered in the air.The scent remained, yet the one who bore it was gone. He had no idea when they would meet again, nor whether ev

Rewards ought to be divided based on one's contributions. I believe I am well deserving of this. Finn stepped forward, flicked his sleeve, and wove a strand of soul power to snatch the spirit core. He claimed it outright in a domineering manner.Discontent flashed across the faces of the onlookers. The group from the Flame Demon Hall felt especially wronged. They had lost their leader and suffered heavy losses, yet now they were being denied their due share of the rewards. Resentment burned in their hearts.The Supreme Langman Clan had also been left leaderless after Ian's death. Though Carl was talented, he lacked the seniority to command the others. They could only frown helplessly as Finn seized the prize first.With Jesse and Ian gone, they stood no chance against Finn, who came from a powerful background and boasted formidable strength. All they could do was glare their displeasure.Finn noticed their anger but paid it no mind.Verity smiled softly and spoke up. Do not be hasty,

While Albert was distributing spirit cores freely to win over others, Verity's mood had soured greatly after seeing his abundant treasures. She turned on her heel without a second thought, stepped into an energy vortex and vanished in an instant.Clearly, she chose to leave so she would not have to witness any more of this.Following her lead, members of the Supreme Langman Clan, Finn's party from the Clark Trading House, and the cultivators of the Flame Demon Hall all departed one after another.As he left, Carl shot Albert a cold, menacing glance. His lips moved, and a voice drifted straight into Albert's ears.Don't get too cocky, Albert. This is far from over.Albert kept a blank expression and paid him no heed. He then walked over to Aunt Jin and handed her two spirit cores before asking, Do you know how to break the ice seal trapping Kelly?Having calmed down from her initial panic, Aunt Jin replied, Miss Kelly unleashed the remaining power of her Sacred Seed, which caused her t

Cyrus snapped angrily. Sampson, do not slander us out of nowhere! I could just as well claim your Supreme Langman Clan smuggled that True Demon into the secret realm. Should I arrest all your young disciples for questioning then?Sampson let out a cold huff. You are being deliberately unreasonable!You’re still traumatized from the beating my third brother gave you years ago, and now you’re picking on his child out of spite, preying on the young with your superior cultivation! Hot-tempered as ever, Cyrus mocked relentlessly. Come to think of it, it wasn’t only my brother. Your body bore grave wounds time and again at the hands of my sister-in-law back then.Having his humiliating past laid bare before dozens of young cultivators made veins bulge on Sampson’s forehead. His gaze bored into Cyrus, thick with killing intent.At that moment, Patty of the Supreme Bruce Clan spoke in an even tone. Cyrus, quit diverting the subject. These youths have encountered the True Demon, so we ought to
