As he said that, Gerald made sure to use his eyes to signal Hauk and the others to withdraw their power. His plan was to risk allowing the headless general to rampage, but also cause enough chaos to stop Sanchez from getting what he wished to achieve. Thankfully, all the cultivators seemed to get his message. Unfortunately, just as they were about to withdraw their powers, Sanchez simply waved his hand, prompting a dome of light to trap them where they stood! Upon seeing that, Gerald understood that if he withdrew the Heavenly Guard Order now, he’d essentially be sentencing the rest of them to death!The other cultivators naturally figured this out as well, and this prompted Hauk to yell, “How despicable…!”As for the frowning Gerald, he couldn’t help but ask, “You couldn’t have spent this long preparing for only our deaths, no…?”Laughing sinisterly, Sanchez then replied, “Well, since you’ll all be dead soon anyway, I guess there’s no harm in me telling you about my plan! As you
One of the elders wore a black robe, while the other had a white one on. Oddly enough, though they had white hair, they still looked rather young… Whatever the case was, the second the two appeared, Gerald could immediately feel an immense pressure being emitted from them! Ever since Gerald entered the Dominesch Realm, nobody had been able to make him feel this way aside from Finnley and Sanchez. With that in mind, it was obvious that these two men had already entered the Deitus Realm!“...Oh? The Blancetnoir Double Lords who entered the Deitus Realm about a thousand years ago? How interesting…! Why are such well-known cultivators like you two standing guard over this child?” asked Sanchez as he laughed aloud. Ignoring his question, the white-robed old man simply retorted, “Your true self has been destroyed, Sanchez! With that said, I don’t think I need to tell you how a battle with both of us is going to end!”“True enough, now that I’m only half of what I used to be, it’ll defi
Almost immediately after, all the blood began glowing in a golden light as they seeped down the cracks!Though pretty much everyone was surprised by the earthquake, Sanchez quickly snapped out of it before laughing hideously as he yelled, “I… I’ve succeeded, haven’t I?! As I predicted, the fresh blood of those cultivators was the key all along…!”“Eldest Brother, look! No wonder nobody’s been able to solve the tomb’s secrets! There’s a space beneath the main chamber!”“How horrifying… If this level’s headless general has already entered the Domiensch Realm, how powerful would the true owner of the tomb be…?” muttered the white-robed man as he placed his hands against his back while looking down at the massive hole that had just formed on the ground… Meanwhile, Gerald could feel his body slowly sinking, almost as though something from the hole was drawing him in… and it was at that moment when he got an idea. Murmuring a spell, Gerald quickly released the Heavenly Guard Order… an
Even after he got out of the water, however, Gerald wasn’t able to gauge how deep underground he now was. That aside, the ocean he had fallen into almost seemed boundless! From a rough estimate, he’d say that the body of water covered at least half of the northwest area… “How strange for this underground ocean to even exist!” muttered Gerald to himself before starting to fly around to see if there were any clues lying around… It wasn’t all that long before Gerald heard something rushing past him beneath the waves! Since Gerald could see perfectly well even in the dark, he was able to catch a glimpse of a massive shadow bolting off underwater!Once it was out of sight, Gerald was prompted to mutter, “...Could secrets lie at the bottom of the ocean…?”After surveying his surroundings once more—and confirming that there was nothing unusual around him—, Gerald eventually added, “...Well, I guess searching the bottom of the ocean is better than flying aimlessly up here!”Since there
After initiating his transformation technique, Gerald then turned himself into a faint beam of light that dove deep into the borderless ocean! When he finally spread out his divine sense again, Gerald realized that he had managed to break free from the illusion! Currently, he found himself in what appeared to be a mansion’s storage space. As for how he made that guess, it was because there were several boxes of varying sizes lying all around him. Though Gerald was left slightly confused, he was more relieved than anything as he thought, ‘Thank god I knew how to transform… Otherwise, I would’ve been trapped in there forever!’ Shivering slightly to the thought of that outcome, Gerald quickly shook his head before starting to look around… Apart from the boxes, the only other thing within the room was a landscape painting scroll hanging on the wall. The painting portrayed a huge, open space within a peach forest that was surrounded by high mountains and waterfalls… There was even a p
This wasn’t the time to be hesitating…! Watching as the golden-clad warrior slashed his blade at him, Gerald dodged with all his might… and was only able to avoid the attack by a hair’s breadth…! That was naturally not the end of things, and Gerald soon found himself bolting about as he avoided the onslaught of slashes from the other golden-clad warriors…! He really was no match for this group of warriors at all…! As he continued dodging the attacks, one of the warriors’ blades of light collided against a scroll painting behind Gerald… and to the boy’s amazement, the blade’s energy was completely absorbed by it! “W-what on earth…?!” muttered the stunned Gerald as he turned to give the painting a good look… only to end up feeling chills run down his spine…! While he was sure that there had only been a single person within the scroll’s pavilion before this… there were now two! In fact, they seemed to be enjoying some tea together…! To make matters even more shocking, Gerald sud
Regardless, as Gerald remained shocked on the spot, Finnley cheerfully added, “Well, Zearl? Think my disciple can pass your test?” Upon hearing that, the Zearl nodded with a bitter laugh as he replied, “Even if I didn’t think so, I’d still allow him to take it. After all, I owe you a favor. Had you not helped me back then, I would’ve surely been doomed to become a devil! I’m much more relaxed and comfortable in my current state, and though I can’t cultivate anymore, I can now nurture my heart!” “Regardless, about the test… I’ve placed the Dragonprime and my angelic inheritance in two locations, and if Gerald is able to find them, not only will he be able to take out the great demon, but he’ll also be able to deal with the Soluna Deus Sect!” concluded the old man. “…That… Are you saying you’re willing to pass on the angelic inheritance to me?” replied Gerald who was clearly surprised to hear that. As it turned out, Finnley had already paved the road ahead for him… “Indeed, but i
As the Zearl continued pointing toward Gerald’s forehead, the boy soon realized that he now knew two new magical chants…! Just as the Zearl had promised, Gerald could now use the godly powers of the Realm in the Sleeve and the Beadation Warrior…! “After obtaining my inheritance, be sure to thoroughly cultivate your newfound godly powers, as well as your existing transformation technique. Do that for long enough and you’ll surely be able to face any number of enemies, as well as any heavenly tribulations! Speaking of cultivating, your current body is only meant for normal cultivation. In other words, until you enter the Deitus Realm, you won’t be able to properly cultivate your godly powers.” “Since I’m now your master and I’ve already given you so much help anyway, allow me to hand you a magic artifact to ensure your survival before you locate the Dragonprime and my inheritance!” concluded the Zearl as he made a gesture… before pointing at Gerald’s hands. Following a brief flash,
