But Albert sensed an overwhelmingly dangerous aura emanating from Dask.Among all Two-Star Divine Realm experts he had met, Dask was undoubtedly the strongest.“Are you Albert?” Dask fixed his gaze on Albert’s face and asked in a steady voice.Albert gave a slight nod.“You know Kelly?” Dask asked directly.“She is an old friend. Naturally I do.” Albert replied calmly.Could it be that Dask was smitten with Kelly, learned of Albert’s close bond with her, and had come to pick a fight? It sounded melodramatic, yet plausible. Young men, brimming with vigour, often acted out of such impulses.Dask fell silent for a moment, then spoke. “If you run into trouble within the River Boundary Treasure Domain, I can help you once.”“Hmm?”Albert, Vance and the others beside him were all stunned. No one expected Dask, who had arrived with such an imposing air, to make this baffling offer.Confusion swelled inside Albert. “Why?”Dask answered. “I am here on behalf of someone.”“Kelly?” The answer wa

Judging from the malevolent ripples it exuded, it was a being comparable to a Two-Star True Demon.It had clearly sensed the looming crisis and begun devouring the other ghost trees to strengthen itself.Vance had no intention of granting it that chance. He took one step forward, and four towering divine platforms materialized. Vast divine smoke of divine rank rolled forth in torrents.Vance clenched his five fingers and threw a punch.The void itself roared violently in that instant. A glowing fist seal tore through the air, its surface seemingly covered in dragon scales, brimming with majestic and domineering power.The colossal evil tree creature let out a piercing shriek. Countless twisted, grotesque palms sprouted from its branches, merging together to form a horrifying palm-shaped shield.Yet an Upper Four-Star Divine Realm expert’s strike was far beyond what this Two-Star True Demon could resist. The fist seal crashed down. Countless branches shattered instantly, and deep fissu

As they turned to leave, Albert spoke generously to the other teams. Since they had arrived first, his group would not lay claim to this medium Ghost Fiend. He wished them every success in seizing the treasures.The other teams were utterly stunned to see them walk away so easily, then flooded with joy. They quickly thanked and praised Albert’s party. Unexpectedly, Albert’s team had earned a surge of goodwill along the way.Vance and the others, who knew the full truth, could only react with a mixture of amusement and helplessness. Albert truly never passed up any chance to gain an advantage.Time wore on. Albert’s group passed one medium Ghost Fiend after another without entering. Though this approach consumed time, they remained patient. High-grade Foundation Spirit Treasures were vastly more valuable than mid-grade ones.Two high-grade Foundation Spirit Treasures could be traded to Freya for one vial of Pseudo Nine-Star Soul Liquid. In contrast, even twenty mid-grade treasures woul

Albert, Tina and the other team members stayed at the rear to pick off any stragglers.Since most of the pressure fell on Vance and Emily, Albert had a moment to glance around. The city stretched on endlessly as far as the eye could see, filled with rolling clouds of malevolent qi.Countless grotesque, twisted evil creatures lurked within, waiting to strike.The small Ghost Fiends they had encountered before paled in comparison to this place.The other teams that had entered the Ghost Fiend alongside them had vanished, scattered by this realm. That was actually a blessing. Traveling alongside other groups meant facing not only the eerie attacks of evil creatures but also guarding against the greed lurking within human hearts.Within regions thick with malevolent qi, those with weak wills would have their negative emotions amplified, eventually acting against all reason.Albert stared toward the deeper parts of the Ghost Fiend. He sensed immensely powerful ripples of malevolence emanat

Albert’s eyes widened in surprise. He gave the mottled banner a casual swing. The flag fluttered, carrying terrifying energy ripples that shattered the void again and again.Faint divine light emanated from it, bearing the power to suppress all creation.A thought crossed Albert’s mind. He glanced down at his arms, where faint purple-gold patterns flickered beneath his skin, resembling hazy dragon shadows.These were the Purple-Gold Dragon Markings.When Albert had evolved his Heavenly Dragon Soul, his physical body had also undergone tremendous refinement. These Purple-Gold Dragon Markings were power awakened from his Heavenly Dragon bloodline, greatly boosting his physical strength and defense.The might of the Three Dragon Heavenly Banner Art had grown far stronger than before.Albert also sensed the surging divine light rolling off the banner in his grip. The dragon banner now flowed with an extremely pure, ancient power — the power of his Heavenly Dragon Soul.Wrought from the no
