The moment Howard made his move, his silhouette vanished, only to be replaced by a shadowy figure that emerged right behind him.Yet, it was as if Howard had eyes on the back of his head; he swiftly unsheathed his blade, directing it towards the looming shadow.As his sword swung out, the very air seemed to shift, a furious wind howling forth. Even Benjamin felt his escape routes being sealed off. Furthermore, an overpowering sword aura bore down on him, rendering his blood cold and causing his heart to momentarily skip a beat.But just as the blade reached him, Benjamin's form once again vanished, leaving behind only an ephemeral afterimage.Boom!With the might of a tidal wave, Howard's blade effortlessly carved a deep, half-foot trench into the arena floor, extending over ten feet in length.But then, a mix of astonishment and fear took over Howard's features. He couldn't fathom how Benjamin could be several times faster than his own swift blade strike."Impossible?!"Suddenly sens
Time seemed to blur, and just as Benjamin closed his eyes to rejuvenate, Uriah's voice resounded once more."We're here!"At this proclamation, Benjamin slowly opened his eyes. Although he had only rested for a short while, he felt a significant surge in his power.Before him stood a lavish palace, its entrance adorned with a golden plaque. While the script was ancient, Benjamin instantly recognized it: this was the Legacy Hall that Uriah had spoken of."Time to descend. No one except those with the Divine Seal can enter here. Although I'm the sect leader of Heavenly Opportunity Sect, even I cannot just walk into this place. So, Benjamin, you'll need to enter on your own. But don't worry, I've been inside once before. It's absolutely safe."Without waiting for a reply, Uriah gently waved, and Benjamin was swiftly set down in front of the palace gates.Glancing back at Uriah, Benjamin's eyes held a hint of reproach, but Uriah seemed unperturbed. With casual grace, he said: "Proceed. I
Benjamin's barrage of questions seemed to perplex the ethereal figure slightly. However, without dallying, he answered candidly."Legacy Hall, as its name suggests, is where the legacies of the founding ancestors are stored. Moreover, this place can only pass on its legacy once. Unless the recipient perishes, returning the legacy, the hall cannot be accessed again."Benjamin silently nodded, comprehending the explanation. Undeterred, the ethereal figure continued, elucidating the hall's mysteries."I am uncertain if that particular individual ever mentioned the Heavenly Opportunity Sect to you. Yet, millennia ago, our Heavenly Opportunity Sect stood proud among the ten major sects of this world, ranking shoulder-to-shoulder with the Celestial Palace. Our legacy is as vast as the seas, encompassing treasures that the external realm could scarcely contain—like the art of divination and fate determination. This is but one of our most pivotal inheritances. Moreover, techniques like artifa
“Ah, how can this be?!”“Phoe... Phoenix Burning Foot? He has the Phoenix Burning Foot on him!”“My God, what is he? How does he have the Divine Seal, and even the Phoenix Burning Foot? Moreover, what's the connection between him and that young woman?”Excited voices rang out, and a strange sensation reached Benjamin's soul, causing him to yell.“Silence!”Only now did the voices of the clusters cease, seemingly afraid of the Phoenix image above Benjamin's head.“Fine, start the inheritance now; I have no time to dally with you!”Full of energy, Benjamin moved towards a nearby cluster and grabbed it. The remaining clusters could not help but cry out in terror.However, they had no choice but to accept Benjamin's decision. The Phoenix image above his head exerted immense pressure on them.Boom!As Benjamin grasped the cluster, a powerful consciousness rushed into his soul.Initially, he felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, but soon he absorbed all of the inheritance, laughing triumph
The spacecraft's speed was terrifying; every half second, it accelerated, traversing millions of miles. If Earth's scientists witnessed such a phenomenon, they'd likely gape in shock.Yet, atop the corridor, watching as planets whizzed by, Red, the chief general of the Autuman Kingdom from planet Namec in the Bode galaxy, appeared displeased. His gaze fixed on a subordinate nearby."Orange, how much longer until we reach planet fourteen?"Orange, a trusted aide of Red, shrank under his scrutiny, bowing low and answering hesitantly."Sir, in roughly ten days, we'll arrive at planet fourteen.""Ten days? Just ten days? You said something similar before, and now, I've roamed this cosmos for a decade. Do you fathom what I've endured?"As he spoke, Red's metallic arm shot out, lifting his subordinate off the ground, his eyes blazing with fury."Inform them to speed up the ship. I want to reach planet fourteen by tomorrow, not in three days!"With those words, Red forcefully threw his subor
They had just been terrified, but they had seen Benjamin glide across the water. Moreover, his speed was astonishing, surpassing the warship's and landing on their boat."Go, quickly leave this place!"Benjamin had no time for idle chatter; he barked an order, and a sudden gust of wind propelled the fishing boat over the water. In less than half a minute, the boat had vanished from the sea, speeding towards the land.Seeing this, the soldiers on the warship were as stunned as if they had encountered a celestial being. The family on the fishing boat was equally frightened, hurriedly bowing down."Celestial being, thank you for saving us! We will light incense and pray for you every day!"After uttering these words, the family of four did not hesitate, quickly running towards a nearby village. The journey was at least ten miles, but compared to the impending death before them, they seemed to be fueled by some mysterious force, running without pause.Watching the family's receding figure
In this dire moment, the officer hastily yelled: "What are you waiting for? Fire! Kill him!"By this moment, the commanding officer had long abandoned any intentions of making Benjamin his subordinate. He wished for Benjamin to witness the consequences of defying the empire's forces.Yet, he seemed to forget. Facing a martial artist of Benjamin's caliber, bullets proved utterly ineffective.Bang!Bang!Gunfire erupted incessantly, yet Benjamin's silhouette flickered like a mirage, untouched by the onslaught. Even his attire remained impeccably uncreased."Pah! Mere ineffectuals!"From within the battleship, a sudden enraged roar echoed out, followed by a presence even more overpowering than the commanding officer's, bursting forth.Almost instantly, soldiers were paralyzed with dread, hurriedly kneeling upon the ship's deck. Even the commanding officer, tremulous, bowed his head in submission, avoiding the newcomer's gaze.Now, from the heart of the battleship, a hulking suit of armor
"It is indeed those demon kin. However, the strength of this foe is not too overwhelming. Furthermore, their powers are somewhat unique. Instead of wielding demonic energy, they used armor to combat you?"As she spoke, she cast a peculiar glance at Benjamin. Yet, he did not retort."Well then, if they are here, let them come. The Celestial Palace is already in ruins, and there isn't much spiritual essence left here. I just hope they are not here in pursuit of those monstrous creatures. Should they be unleashed, not just this world, but half of the universe might be in peril."With these words, her form rapidly dissipated, merging into the Celestial Palace. Benjamin floated above the sea, his face marked by deep contemplation."When the water rises, the dam stands tall; when soldiers approach, generals block their way. After all, I am no pushover."Collecting his emotions, Benjamin softly waved, absorbing the Phoenix Burning Foot into his being. With haste, he rocketed forward, becomin
