In the end, Gavin Frost still didn’t make a move.The moment the nine Venerables felt the God-Locking Pearl freeze their bodies, every one of them was shaken. No hesitation. No holding back. They exploded with full power immediately, trying to force themselves free from the invisible restraint.And right then, Kael Draven realized something.He’d underestimated them.Against one Venerable, the God-Locking Pearl could suppress an opponent for a full three seconds without much trouble. But nine Venerables at the same time? That was a completely different beast.The pressure was just too overwhelming.Barely a second passed before the seal shattered.Kael Draven’s expression darkened slightly.This wasn’t how he’d planned it.Originally, he’d been confident. If he could freeze all nine of them for even three seconds, that would’ve been enough. More than enough, actually. In a fight between martial artists, three seconds could decide everything. He was certain he could kill at least four

“So the winner becomes king?” Jackson Luke sneered, his eyes cold enough to freeze blood. “Kael Draven… you actually think you’ve already won?”The seven remaining Venerables looked ready to explode. Killing intent poured out of them in heavy waves, so thick the air itself seemed harder to breathe.Right now, every single one of them wanted the same thing.Kill Kael Draven.Rip him apart piece by piece.Kael Draven suddenly burst into laughter.It wasn’t calm laughter either. It sounded wild, almost crazy, like someone who no longer cared whether he lived or died.“If I can kill one Venerable,” he said slowly, sweeping his bloodstained gaze across the group, “then I can kill a second.”A sharp smile curled onto his face.“And sooner or later… I’ll kill all of you.”“You arrogant little—”Before Jackson Luke could finish, Kael Draven moved again.Just like before, he attacked first.The moment his body shot forward, a terrifying soul attack erupted outward. His spiritual force split in

The sudden revival of Elder Fatty and the other two souls sent a wave of shock through the seven Venerables.For a moment, none of them could even understand what they were seeing.How was this even possible?No one had an answer. Not even the Venerables.But hesitation was a luxury they couldn’t afford.The moment confusion set in, they forced themselves into action and unleashed their full strength. Even though the three soul figures once belonged to their side, things were different now. Those familiar faces had become enemies—relentless, merciless enemies.And in a place like this, there was only one rule left.Either you kill them… or you get killed.No one held back anymore. Every strike carried killing intent as the seven Venerables fought desperately to erase the three Soul Slaves from existence.But as the battle dragged on, something terrifying became clear.Their expressions darkened… then stiffened.Because the truth was simple—and horrifying.The three Soul Slaves couldn’

One slash.That was it.Jackson Luke fell.For a brief second, the entire boundless arena seemed to freeze. Nobody spoke. Nobody even breathed too loudly. They just stared at the scene in disbelief.Jackson Luke wasn’t some nobody.He was the strongest among the Blood Sea Sect’s Ten Venerables, a man whose name alone was enough to make countless martial artists think twice before making an enemy of him. Yet now?Kael Draven had cut him down in a single strike.Cleanly.Completely.That terrifying slash shattered more than Jackson Luke’s body—it shattered everyone’s understanding of Kael Draven’s limits.Because at this point, calling him a genius almost felt too small.He was becoming something far more frightening.The battle hadn’t even lasted that long. A few minutes at most. But in that short span of time, Kael Draven had fought ten Venerables by himself and killed four of them.Four.Even for a monstrous force like the Blood Sea Sect, that kind of loss hurt deep. This wasn’t just

Kael Draven had just challenged Gavin Frost.For a moment, the entire boundless arena went dead silent.Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. The crowd simply stared at the white-haired young man standing in the center of the battlefield as if they’d suddenly forgotten how to breathe.A Venerable challenging a Supreme?That wasn’t confidence anymore. That sounded insane.Some people even started wondering if Kael Draven had completely lost himself after all the killing earlier.“Brother Jasper… what’s gotten into Brother Kael?” Jack Holden muttered, still staring blankly ahead.Zeric Jasper looked just as troubled.“I honestly don’t know.”He sighed quietly, eyes never leaving Kael Draven.Things had already calmed down a little after Arden Thane stepped in. If Kael Draven chose to leave now, there was a very good chance he could walk out of the Blood Sea Sect alive.And to be fair, nobody questioned Kael Draven’s strength anymore.After today, calling him the strongest person beneath the Supre
