The Story Never Ends

The shattered space steadily recovered and the sky eventually returned back to normal. This allowed Andreas and his gang to clearly see what had happened.

"My God! How could this happen?" Naomi cried out in disbelief. More than a hundred warriors had disappeared, and the injured Golden Lion Tribe Warriors were consuming pills to stabilize themselves.

"No! My tribe members…" Carolina fell on her knees and teared up. She regretted shamelessly accepting Hector's request to earn his favor.

Following his order, she had deployed some of her best Nascent Soul warriors to support him in preparing the formation. Now, they have all fallen. It was a huge loss for her small tribe.

Seeing her in this state, the others sighed as they remembered that they had also lost someone important.

"It's useless to fret upon it. Let's find that kid. We need to at least have our revenge." Andreas suggested in a low voice.

"Yeah, that bastard might still be alive." Naomi nodded. She couldn't be sure unless she saw his dead body with her own eyes.

"Humph! I will kill him with my own hands if he manages to survive from all that." Carolina controlled her emotions and stood up.

Then they looked in the direction where they had ambushed Davion with a piercing gaze. The seven-colored miasma had nearly dissipated, and they could sense someone in the pile of rubbles with their Divine Senses.

"He's not dead," Logan said with a solemn look on his face. This was because his Divine Sense couldn't see past him. There was some force rebounding their senses.

"Indeed. We need to strike immediately once the miasma goes down." Andreas gripped his spear tightly showing his determination.

Nonetheless, he faltered and began sweating with what happened next.

"BAM"

A powerful aura erupted from the rubble sending everything flying and they saw an old staff rise straight into the sky. After reaching, it shone a white-colored light enclosing the area in a two-mile radius.

"Is this a barrier?" Carolina asked.

"I don't think so. I feel like we are being separated in some different space." Logan, who had higher cultivation than her, noticed this subtle difference.

"Does this mean that nobody from outside can neither observe us nor detect us?" Carolina was astonished. This was definitely a powerful artifact.

"Yes, only someone proficient in the power of space might be able to perceive us," Andreas replied.

"Hehe, isn't this foolish of him since he trapped himself here with us?" Logan chuckled.

"Humm, now that you have said it. It seems to be a dumb decision. Or maybe he has some way to escape from here alone?" Carolina reasoned.

Nonetheless, this thought instantly went out of their minds when they saw two golden skulls soaring to the sky in the same manner.

"Damn, aren't these two artifacts from the Devil World? I think I have seen something similar there." Andreas was shell-shocked. As a member of a Heavenly Demon Sect, he had gone to that world.

The two skulls created two barriers overlapping one another in the blink of an eye finally catching everyone's attention. Next, everyone heard a calm and arrogant voice ringing in their ears.

"Bunch of ants. You can all come to me at the same time. But don't hold back this time. Or else the earlier incident will repeat once again."

"What? Does he have a death wish?" Naomi had her mouth wide open in astonishment. Why was he riling them up? Previously he won just because of that overpowered sword. But now, it has already been turned into dust. So, what gave him the confidence?

However, the warriors of the Golden Lion Tribe didn't think so. They rushed in his direction without any hesitation and surrounded him from all sides. Furthermore, they all transformed into their lion form and even burned their blood on the top of that.

Terrifying soul-crushing auras were released one after another turning everything upside down in the area.

"Damn, they are insane." Andreas was scared of his wits. They have all lost their reasonings due to rage. The others had the same thoughts as well.

"Good, good. Show me how strong you all are."

"BAM"

Davion emerged from the rubble in a sorry state astonishing everyone. His hands and legs were covered with ice and some daggers were stuck on his waist causing droplets of blood to drip. Not only that, but parts of his face had turned colorful indicating that he had been poisoned.

"See I told you all. He can't live for long now." Carolina coldly declared.

"Then why did he come out? It doesn't make sense." Naomi was puzzled.

"Or perhaps he has another artifact to bring out that flame?" Logan guessed.

While they were discussing with each other, the Golden Lion Tribe warriors were gazing at him with anger written all over their faces.

"Kid, you are too arrogant. Do you want to fight us in this state?" Heath spoke in disdain.

"Besides, the ones you managed to kill previously were all beneath the Domain Realm. You should know the difference between them and us, shouldn't you?" Holden added.

"And last but not the least, you don't possess that flame anymore." Henrik pulled out his bow and got ready to strike. Seeing him, the others followed too.

Seeing them so ignorant, he untied his hair and smirked.

"Heavenly Body"

A vigorous aura was released from him and his body started enlarging in the speed visible to the naked eyes.

"This.."

The Golden Lion Tribe warriors backed away at once as they felt their own blood boiling and getting out of control.

"How can this happen?" They panicked and channeled their soul Qi straight away trying to stop this phenomenon.

"Haha, this is not over yet." Davion's body reached a thousand-feet tall in an instant and a majestic pressure like that of a king befell upon them. Furthermore, his injuries disappeared as well.

"Kneel." The moment he said this, the early-stage Domain Realm warriors couldn't resist it all and fell down on the ground becoming vulnerable ready to be slaughtered at any moment.

"This is bullying. He was hiding his strength right from the start."

"He is too cunning." Andreas and his gang who were far away from them were also not feeling better. They were struggling to stand on their feet.

"Your Excellency, please stop this." Henrik's attitude turned completely opposite, dumbfounding everyone.

"Henrik, you son of a bitch. How can you accept defeat this easily? Although he looks terrifyingly strong, we can still beat him." Heath pulled his collar expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Oh!" Davion was exhilarated with this turn of events.

"Shut up!" Henrik pushed him away and explained.

"Can't you feel your blood being suppressed? Can't you see his kingly aura? Now tell me who in the world can produce such an expert?"

There was another thing that he didn't tell him. It was the weird tattoo on Davion's chest. He had seen this in an old book hundred of years ago. This was somewhat related to the power of saints.

"You.." Heath and the others realized what he meant right away and immediately kept their mouths shut.

Afterward, Henrik retracted back his gaze and politely bowed. "Your excellency, who might you be, and what brings your grace here in this lowly place?? I'm certain that you are a young lord from one of the four major clans."

"Is…this true?" Naomi shuttered while speaking. She couldn't believe it.

"How can we know?" Andreas shook his head. Actually, he was not thinking about this but rather the skulls in the air. They were definitely from the Devil World. Furthermore, many Devil Kings and Devil Emperors there were in search of them. There were many secrets behind these skulls.

"Interesting." Listening to Henrik, Davion was amused. Nevertheless, he didn't want to waste his time playing with them. This was because he earned a lot of experience points from killing the Nascent Soul Cultivators earlier. It had filled half of his experience bar. Thus, he was eager to finish them all and level up in a jiffy.

So, he gave an ambiguous answer sending chills down their spines.

"You will know when I will show you all my true form." The devil seed inside his Dantian spun in circles causing a disgusting and vile aura to be spread in the air.

"This…"

"It's a Devil Emperor…" Everyone panicked in fear and he could see them drenched in sweat.

"Haha" The atmosphere turned brown and murky adding another layer of unease in their hearts. However, this was not the end as they could hear various voices speaking in their minds. It was attempting to control and influence them.

"You monster. Don't think that we will be tricked by you this easily." Henrik, Heaton, and Holden mustered all this strength and produced a huge golden ball of flames in the air. This drove away the devil Qi and calmed everyone's mind.

"You've got some tricks. But I still haven't released all of my powers.." Davion transformed and increased his aura once again frightening them even more.
