Ch. 2931..2940
Chapter 2931 Save Me Master
The Cardinal Hall General did not know that his master was Levi.
To him, his master was a very mysterious existence. In fact, it could very well be the Ecclesiastic Order or the Esoteric Guild.
More importantly, the Iron Golem Technique was simply too miraculous. Now that he had reached this stage, he found it extremely astonishing.
He recalled how easy it had been for his master to teach him the Iron Golem Technique.
It gave him an illusion that his master was a terrifying existence hidden within the depths of Erudia.
Furthermore, rumors of the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild arose after that.
He was thus convinced that his master was from either of these two forces.
Now that he was in danger, he was sure that his master would appear.
Daxon panicked.
What master are you talking about? Isn’t your master Levi?
Fine! Even if Levi is undefeatable, he’s busy curing his daughter’s poison. How would he have time to rush here? He definitely won’t appear in Erudia!
“Your master?”
Still, The Cardinal Hall General’s words scared the Keereans.
After all, the situation was different now.
Initially, there were no Deities in Erudia.
They had just arrived in Erudia, yet such a powerful opponent emerged.
Anyone would be scared if he claimed he had a master supporting him.
If he was already so powerful, his master would be unimaginably stronger.
Perhaps, the latter would be from the Ecclesiastic Order or the Esoteric Guild.
If both of them really existed, Keerea would be doomed.
That was why the Keereans asked that question.
“That’s right! My master! I can call for support too!” snapped the Cardinal Hall General coldly.
When the fifty Deities heard that Edmund had someone backing him up, they became wary.
What if there really is a terrifyingly powerful existence supporting Erudia? What should we do? By then, we’ll all die, and Keerea would be plunged into a dangerous situation.
They started to panic.
The news quickly spread to the other Keereans at the back.
Everyone had the same thought.
When they were discussing the issue, they wondered whether there were Deities supporting Erudia.
However, Sammy frowned and remarked calmly, “It’s true that he has a master, but that’s Levi!”
She knew about what had happened previously.
While others might not know who Killfinger or the new leader of the ancient Garrison clan was, she did.
It was none other than Levi.
He was also The Cardinal Hall General’s master.
It dawned on everyone when they heard that.
Furthermore, they also learned that Levi was too busy trying to cure his daughter’s poison.
Since he was not the “master” that everyone was imagining, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
“Is The Cardinal Hall General stupid? How can he use Levi to threaten us?”
The Keereans at the back laughed mockingly.
“Issue the command to kill The Cardinal Hall General! Ignore everything else!”
The fifty Deities in front soon received the command and found out what had happened.
They felt humiliated that they were threatened by The Cardinal Hall General.
“Kill him!”
This time, they did not show any mercy and attacked Edmund directly, planning to rip him into shreds.
Oh no!
Feeling scared, Daxon and the rest closed their eyes subconsciously.
They knew they were doomed.
After all, Edmund did not have a master!
“Save me, Master!” cried The Cardinal Hall General at the sky in the nick of time.
However, the Deities of Keerea laughed coldly. “Haha! I want to see if you actually have a master to save you!”
As the Deity spoke, he rushed to the front and pulled his fist back into a punch. He was barely fifty meters away from The Cardinal Hall General.
This was an extremely insignificant distance for Deities—in fact, it was just like a few millimeters.
A twisted grin appeared on the Deity’s’ face.
He had already anticipated the moment when The Cardinal Hall General would get smashed into pieces.
Whoosh!
However, a flash of light appeared.
A streak of blood spurted out of the Deity’s neck as his head flew into the sky.
Chapter 2932 Live Targets
The laughter from Keerea’s side suddenly ceased.
Everyone was stunned and could not believe what they were seeing.
Even Keerea’s fighters were stumped.
On the other side, the crowd from Erudia was astonished too.
No one expected things to turn out like this.
Why is the Deity suddenly dead?
“Master is here! Master is here! Master!” Edmund could not help shouting upon seeing this.
Suddenly, a sword shot out of nowhere at the Deity second nearest to him.
Swoosh!
It immediately pierced through the Deity’s neck, causing blood to spill all over the ground.
Before the crowd could react, the sword glowed and released a fearsome energy as it ripped through the air.
Swoosh!
Another one of the Deities was dead!
Whoosh!
The sword continued to traverse through the air, releasing its power everywhere.
It shone as bright as a sun, captivating everyone on the scene.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sword continued to kill one Deity after another.
Ten dropped dead.
Soon, the number grew to twenty.
Then, thirty Deities fell.
Even if all of Keerea’s Deities faced this sword together, they could not do anything.
They could neither block nor hide from it. There was no escape.
All of them were living targets for the sword.
The sword brought them down one by one.
It was so shocking that one had to see to believe it!
The world had never seen anything like this!
It was the first time anyone saw so many Deities gathered to fight something only to be slaughtered by a flying sword.
What happened was absolutely terrifying!
“Hahaha…” Edmund laughed gleefully.
The flying sword continued to shoot through the air and take down the Deities.
Thud!
The last one fell to the ground dead.
All fifty of Keerea’s Deities were dead.
There was not one survivor.
What the heck?
Everyone turned pale from fear and shivered as a chill ran down their spine.
They stood frozen on their spots.
That, that… What the heck happened? The Deities! There were fifty, but none of them survived.
Nothing like this had ever happened before.
Erudia did not have Deities. Therefore, Erudians were even more shocked by what happened.
They had always thought that Deities were powerful like gods.
However, they had just witnessed the slaughtering of the Deities.
Furthermore, they were still confused about that sword.
In fact, they were not the only ones.
Apart from Dr. Erebus, no one else had ever seen such a scene.
At the back, Keerea’s high-rank officials were shocked.
They had suddenly lost fifty of their Deities.
Many of them almost fainted from shock.
Even Sammy could not believe what she saw.
Apart from the Deities the sword killed, Edmund had also slaughtered many of Keerea’s three thousand fighters.
Now, Keerea had only about two thousand fighters left.
At this moment, the sword was still floating above their fighters.
Buzz, buzz…
The sword made a lot of noise and caused strong gusts of wind.
The remaining two thousand fighters sensed its terrifying power deep within their core. They could perceive their impending doom.
Thud! Thud!
The crowd of fighters knelt.
They prostrated themselves under the sword and begged, “Please have mercy on us and spare our lives!”
How could anyone not cower with such a terrifying thing floating above them?
That sword had killed the Deities as if they were nothing.
Thus, the fighters knew they could not stand a chance against it.
Meanwhile, in the defensive base away from the battle scene, Sammy ordered, “Retreat! Everyone, retreat now!”
The kneeling fighters heard her order and got up immediately, wanting to escape.
“Do you think you can come and go as you please?” Edmund muttered.
The floating sword seemed to have heard him. It suddenly shot into the crowd of fighters.
They trembled and felt a chill down their spine.
Then, something horrific happened.
The sword speedily pierced through the two thousand fighters.
Thud! Thud…
Blood gushed out of them as they collapsed to the ground.
Chapter 2933 They Shall Pay The Price
I shall punish anyone who dares to harm Erudia no matter how far they are! You have come here to attack Erudia. Do you think I will let you escape? No way! None shall leave, and all shall die!
Every fighter sent by Keerea was killed that day, bathing Erudia’s borders with blood.
Everyone wondered how the sword pierced through more than two thousand people in such a short time.
It moved so fast that none of the Deities could catch it.
However, it made sense if one were to think about it.
Since the sword had killed fifty Deities easily, it could eliminate two thousand fighters with ease.
The massacre was the most shocking thing anyone had ever seen.
Now, no one dared to mock Erudia.
The sword had proven the detractors wrong.
Edmund was tremendously strong, but his master was even more powerful.
One should keep in mind that no one saw who controlled the sword.
He was not present on the battle scene.
Instead, he was controlling the sword from a secret location.
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected Erudia to have such an unbelievably powerful person.
It turned out that the rumors were real.
The Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild truly existed in Erudia.
People believed that the magical techniques for controlling the sword came from the cultivation technique or the Ecclesiastic Order’s Strange Arts.
Someone even claimed to have seen this technique in the order’s records.
Erudia became a restricted area to other countries.
No one could invade here.
It did not matter those other countries had experienced spiritual energy revival or had Deities.
Erudia was a place that no one should attempt to breach.
Furthermore, it did not matter that all Erudians hid from spiritual energy revival.
Although the nation had no Deity, it had someone powerful enough to slaughter all Deities.
That battle shocked the whole world.
Ever since then, everyone knew to stay away from Erudia.
Even a Deity would not dare to think of attacking there.
Those who were keen to conquer Erudia cancelled their plans.
Even Xyperia needed to regroup and reconsider their strategy.
They even thought of calling their plan off because they needed time to reevaluate Erudia’s situation.
They needed to understand Erudia’s situation before daring to act.
On the other hand, Keerea was petrified.
They had taken the risk to attack Erudia first and suffered many casualties, including half of its Deities.
The loss was so severe that the Keereans would take a long time to recover.
Previously, they ranked thirteen in the world.
However, they dropped to forty-fifth in rank after that battle.
Erudia’s strength astounded the world.
It was impossible to go against them.
Meanwhile, Erudians cheered and cried tears of relief.
It turned out that they had a secret protector.
Edmund was the most excited of them all. He shouted to the sky, “Master, please reveal yourself. I miss you. I have trained the Iron Golem Technique to a new height…”
Daxon, the Divine Brigadier, and the rest of the Erudians looked to the sky curiously.
No one knew who controlled the sword.
The whole world waited with abated breath to find out.
However, there was no response from the sky.
Buzz, buzz…
The sword known as God Crusher released a series of buzzing noises and flew higher before disappearing into the sky.
Levi was coincidentally in Erudia when Edmund was in danger.
However, he had to rush off to search for fighters to protect Forlevia.
Therefore, he could not appear in person to help Edmund.
Instead, he controlled God Crusher to kill Keerea’s Deities as he traveled.
He did not use any special sword techniques.
It was his immense power that allowed him to control everything.
The sword was just a tool to aid him.
At this moment, he had traveled some distance. There was no way that he could hear what Edmund shouted.
Levi was still rushing to find people who could protect Forlevia.
Soon, God Crusher caught up with him.
He noticed that God Crusher had grown in power.
It seemed the weapon had obtained energy from battles and blood of enemies.
“We shall arrive soon!” Levi muttered to himself.
Chapter 2934 Fighters To Protect Forlevia
He arrived at the former location of Carigrey Academy, the abode of the people he was searching for.
It was destroyed during an upheaval.
Carigrey was a spiritual land. Therefore, it was full of spiritual energy and spiritual energy crystals.
Behind the academy lay Carigrey Mountains, a Rank One restricted area.
Naturally, the academy’s site was also part of the restricted area.
A Rank One restricted area was dangerous, but it also meant the existence of magical herbs.
However, Levi was not interested in them.
He was here to look for people.
The ones he wanted to find were none other than his past students.
Previously, he learned that everyone went into hiding during the upheaval.
However, his students were excluded.
There were eighty people, including Bruno and Troy. They did not hide but faced the upheaval head-on.
No one knew whether they were still alive.
Levi believed they were alive and even increased their powers after the spiritual energy revival.
He had taught them techniques that did not allow rapid advancement. They were slow foundation techniques that could garner twice the result with only half the effort.
That technique would be advantageous during spiritual energy revival.
They could use it to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and convert it into power for their bodies.
That way, they could rapidly increase their strength.
Therefore, Levi believed that all of them had become powerful fighters.
When he wanted to find someone to protect Forlevia, he first thought of Cyrus.
Then, he remembered the eighty people here.
Suddenly, he smiled.
“Come out everyone! I’m here!” Levi shouted.
Boom, boom…
A series of powerful aura burst out of nowhere. Then, they appeared one by one.
Bruno, Troy, and Weldon…
There was a total of eighty people.
None of them were missing.
Levi smiled proudly as he looked at the aura surrounding their bodies.
As he predicted, all of them had become tremendously powerful fighters.
Although they were still weaker than he was back then, the difference was not too much.
At the same time, they exceeded Levi’s expectations.
Judging from their combat prowess, they were comparable to the Cardinal Hall General.
Even Deities paled compared to them.
Furthermore, there were eighty of them.
It was no wonder that this Rank One restricted area was so peaceful. There were eighty unbelievably powerful people.
No one would dare to cause trouble here.
All of them greeted in unison, “Master Garrison!”
“There is not much time. I will explain to you on the way!” Levi said.
Then, he quickly brought these eighty people with him and headed to Emberfall Rainforest.
At the same time, he did not have to worry about Erudia.
He knew how frightened the world was after he controlled God Crusher to massacre many people.
For a while, no one dared to attack Erudia.
Xyperia and the rest of the world were still in shock by the existence of a mysterious fighter in Erudia.
Suddenly, another news broke out.
Xyperia had sent out an exploration team consisting of fifty-five Deities and around seven hundred elites into Rank One restricted area only to have them wiped out.
The world still had not recovered from the shock of Keerea losing so many Deities in one day.
Now, there was another shocking news about Xyperia’s loss.
Everyone wondered what was inside a Rank One restricted area named Emberfall Rainforest.
One should know that Xyperia had a variety of Deities with different skills.
They included a variety of Deities to cover different aspects of defenses and ensure the team’s safety.
Yet, the whole team was annihilated.
The scariest part was none of the team members managed to send a signal.
Therefore, Xyperia believed there was an unimaginable strong beast inside the Rank One restricted area.
Not even Deities stood a chance against it.
However, Xyperia could not accept such a severe casualty without proper explanation.
They wanted to form another team to enter Emberfall Rainforest again to find out what had happened.
Chapter 2935 Zarain Is Still The Most Powerful
No matter what danger there was, they needed to investigate what had happened.
They could not let go of such severe loss without doing anything.
After all, Xyperia was the strongest nation in the world.
It would be humiliating if they could not find the answer.
At this moment, Levi brought eighty people, including Troy, to the sacred spring.
Dr. Erebus and Digital God were astounded to see them.
Everyone knew Levi was unbelievably formidable.
However, no one expected he would have eighty powerful students.
Judging from their auras, every one of these eighty people was comparable to overlord-class beasts in the sacred spring.
Levi would have nothing to worry about if he had so many fighters guarding Forlevia.
It would be impossible for anyone to attempt anything against her.
Even if someone dared to attempt something, it would take a lot of time to get through so many fighters.
After settling Troy and his group, Levi left the sacred spring again with Dr. Erebus and Digital God.
The news of Levi killing half of Keerea’s Deities continued to astound the world.
Therefore, no one dared to do anything against Erudia.
Furthermore, no one dared to attempt anything against Erudia’s allies too.
Many powerful forces had to switch their target elsewhere, away from Erudia and the Defenders of the Galaxy.
The country could not be breached.
However, compared to Erudia, Zarain had much less resources and did not seem worth attacking.
During the spiritual energy revival, everyone from Erudia hid in Shelter but the exposure caused a dramatic change to its environment.
On the other hand, Zarain had covered its territory with an invisible protective barrier during the spiritual energy revival. Its land did not receive the baptism of spiritual energy.
Thus, Zarain’s lands did not undergo visible changes. One could even say that nothing changed at all. That was why it had the least resources.
Even its smaller neighboring countries had much better resources.
Initially, most of the powerful forces had no interest in attacking Zarain since their first choice was to attack Erudia.
Now that it was impossible, they could only switch their sights on other targets.
Although Zarain’s environment did not change, it was still the most powerful nation in the past with many valuable treasures.
Furthermore, other countries allied with the Defenders of the Galaxy also experienced spiritual energy revival. Therefore, they still had good access to resources.
Thus, many powerful forces began making their move and were ready to attack Defenders of the Galaxy.
Members of Shield panicked upon hearing the news.
Black Hawk members were frantic and rushed to Smythe to report this matter.
Although Zarain were strong in the past, they were useless in the new environment.
Anyone could send a Deity and destroy Shield.
Smythe did not delay and contacted Niel immediately.
Both of them disappeared for some time.
Soon, they reappeared in Shield.
Members of Black Hawk surrounded them urgently, wanting to know the plan to deal with the impending threat.
They knew where Smythe and Niel went when they disappeared.
The duo must have gone to meet with the forces behind Zarain, the true leaders of Defenders of the Galaxy.
In other words, it was them who destroyed the Lab of Gods and Sacroria.
“There is no need to worry! No matter what happens, Zarain remains the most powerful in this world! We were the strongest then, and we still are now! Thus, we do not have to fear the Deities! Although Defenders of the Galaxy does not have a Deity, we can still destroy them!” Niel explained.
His words shocked everyone from Black Hawk.
There is no doubt that we were the most powerful in the past. But what about now? Can we truly not fear the Deities? Is it okay not to be wary of Xyperia? It is now tremendously strong. Is it okay not to worry?
Everyone remained doubtful.
However, Niel seemed confident when he gave his explanation.
It made them wonder what the mysterious forces behind them were.
They wondered how the said mysterious forces could be so strong as to not fear the impending threat.
Chapter 2936 Anomaly In Erudia
The members of Black Hawk chose to trust Niel and stopped worrying about the threats to the Defenders of the Galaxy.
They even looked forward to the attack so they could see the trump card hidden within Zarain.
Meanwhile, the battle that brought down Keerea had a rippling effect on Erudia.
Ever since Levi controlled that sword to kill Keerea’s Deities and fighters, mysterious figures appeared in various places in Erudia.
They all said, “Why is the spiritual energy outside so thick? What is going on out there? That sword is too incredible.”
Meanwhile, there was constant thunder and lightning in a sacred land deep in the mountains in Erudia. Intense spiritual energy surrounded the mountain peak and would not dissipate for a long time.
This place was considered a restricted area.
Soon, all the beasts seemed to have disappeared and went into hiding as though something was scaring them.
“Haha, we are finally outside! Huh? The spiritual energy here is thick. It feels no different from our place! Does this mean that we can keep staying outside now?” said a shadowy figure.
Somewhere in the North, a few shadowy figures traversed through the air, laughing from time to time.
Levi never expected his simple sword demonstration would lead to such a severe disturbance and attract legendary beings out of hiding.
At this moment, he was still unaware of what he had caused and could only focus on finding ways to save Forlevia.
He visited the sacred spring once every day to check on her condition.
The sacred spring could gradually wash away her poison. However, it could not remove them completely.
He needed to find other ways or search for magical herbs.
He had no choice but to keep searching.
However, looking for other cures depended on luck. Sometimes, one could not find it no matter how hard one searched.
Therefore, Levi and his team had no choice but to search gradually.
Once they gained more experience, they had a better sense of direction and knew better ways to continue searching.
Meanwhile, Xyperia gathered a team of thirteen to investigate Emberfall Rainforest.
All thirteen members were Deities.
Their attributes were speed and stealth.
Half of the team had unparalleled speed and could escape in an instant.
Another half had stealth which allowed them to conceal themselves and move like ghosts.
They are the most suitable people to investigate such a dangerous place.
Once they sensed danger, they could escape quickly.
It was never their aim to fight but to assess the situation.
One should also know that Xyperia had immense resources and financial capabilities.
While other countries only had a few Deities, Xyperia had Deities of every kind of attribute.
It was incredible that they had so many Deities that they needed to categorize them.
The team of thirteen Deities entered Emberfall Rainforest.
They journeyed deep into it and maintained a suitable distance from each other to better utilize their abilities.
Then, they used their heightened speed and stealth and arrived unnoticed near the sacred spring.
However, they did not find anything there.
Therefore, they went further and arrived at the sacred spring.
It was then that they saw Forlevia.
The discovery was a tremendous surprise to them.
They did not expect Levi to have something to do with the matter.
Suddenly, they found themselves surrounded by beasts.
Eight overlord-class beasts began to attack them.
The team of thirteen Deities immediately used their speed and stealth to escape.
Even the beasts had difficulty catching them.
Suddenly, human figures flashed into appearance in the surroundings.
More and more appeared and blocked the thirteen Deities’ way.
No matter how fast their speed or stealth, they stood no chance against eighty fighters.
Troy and his eighty-member team did not give the Deities a chance to escape.
They killed every one of them.
All who dared to enter this sacred land were enemies.
This was what Levi had instructed.
They had to protect Forlevia from every possible threat.
Meanwhile, Xyperia kept waiting for news from their team.
When they lost contact with it, they finally understood.
Emberfall Rainforest was off limits.
Chapter 2937 Unimaginable Wealth
However, Xyperia labeled the whole matter as classified and refused to let anyone find out about it.
They could not let the outside world know how much loss they suffered or let anyone realize the potential of that place.
In the following few days, Levi went on exploration alone.
He focused on searching through the restricted area.
Previously, he found many valuable things in the sacred spring.
In those few days, he searched through three Rank One restricted areas.
Although he found many magical herbs, they were slightly weaker than what he had discovered in the sacred spring.
These magical herbs would be useless in Forlevia’s condition.
He had expected such an outcome because he was trying his luck exploring the restricted areas.
However, the things he found were of use too.
Dr. Erebus and Digital God used the magical herbs Levi brought back and increased their powers.
Those magical herbs enabled Dr. Erebus to rise to Deity level.
At the same time, Digital God became a fighter under Levi and Dr. Erebus’ guidance.
Although he did not achieve Deity level, he still had the skills and techniques to fight against one.
Levi, Dr. Erebus, and Digital God now had as many magical herbs as the top ten countries.
Perhaps even more.
They had magical herbs that even Xyperia did not have.
After all, no one could enter restricted areas as they did. Even Rank One restricted areas posed no problem for them.
Moreover, such dangerous places were rich with all kinds of natural treasures.
Levi, Dr. Erebus, and Digital God were unimaginably wealthy.
They even had to give a lot of spiritual energy crystals away as they could not carry them.
“Mr. Garrison, now that you have explored for some time, you must have noticed a pattern. We have a higher chance of finding magical herbs in places classified as restricted areas. The higher the rank of a restricted area, the stronger the magical herbs. We should focus on Rank One restricted areas. Rank Two and Rank Three restricted areas are a waste of time!” Dr. Erebus suggested.
“Yes, that’s right. In that case, we should go to Rank One restricted areas. Our chances would be higher there!” Digital God added.
He immediately brought out the data. “Presently, there are twenty-three places listed as Rank One restricted area. We have explored four of them! There are still nineteen of them, so we have a good chance! Furthermore, there are many possible Rank One restricted areas pending confirmation.”
Dr. Erebus began to choose their next destination. “Let’s explore all these Rank One restricted areas. We can go to the one nearest…”
On the other hand, Levi remained in deep thoughts and said nothing.
After a while, he said calmly, “Based on your findings, the most dangerous places produce the best magical herbs.”
Dr. Erebus and Digital God nodded. “Yes, that seems to be the pattern.”
“In that case, we shall go to the most dangerous place. There could be magical herbs!” Levi thought of a place.
Digital God check the data again. “Is it among these Rank One restricted areas?”
Levi shook his head. “No! Follow me and you will find out!”
At this moment, Digital God had already built a large aircraft.
He gave the aircraft a lot of space so that it could transport more magical herbs back.
Even so, the cabin was still full of things.
It was more convenient this way.
Levi gave a direction, and Digital God maneuvered the aircraft at high speed.
Soon, they reached a place that remained in constant darkness.
It was like when the spiritual energy revival first started.
The magnetic field behaved abnormally, so everything was chaotic.
It also disrupted Digital God’s aircraft and nearly crashed it.
“It’s here!” he exclaimed upon seeing this place.
Chapter 2938 Super Spiritual Ley Line
As they were in the sky above the South Pole, they could see the terrifying vortex that covered a huge part of it.
Although Dr. Erebus and Digital God were both incredibly powerful individuals, the sight of the gigantic vortex beneath them still sent shivers down their spines.
The spiritual energy was extremely concentrated here due to the spiritual ley line underneath it.
From a logical standpoint, it would be easiest to grow magical herbs in a place like this.
Given the harsh surrounding environment, the magical herbs would become incredibly potent.
If such magical herbs were to be present here, then this place would be a lot better than the sacred spring.
In fact, it could even cure Forlevia’s poisoning completely in one go.
However, it had only been a short while since the spiritual energy had erupted in the area, so it was highly unlikely for such herbs to start growing there just yet.
Even so, Levi clung desperately to that thin strand of hope.
He insisted on getting to the spiritual ley line to see if there were magical herbs.
Just like with the sacred spring, the spiritual ley line had existed long before the spiritual energy revival.
Given the size, it was possible to have magical herbs growing here.
Staring at the gigantic vortex beneath them, Dr. Erebus and Digital God finally realized why Levi said this wasn’t a Rank One restricted area.
This place isn’t listed as a Rank One restricted area because no one even dares come here!
Few knew about the vortex because the entire South Pole was practically shrouded in darkness.
The one that enveloped the whole world back then had dissipated fairly quickly, but this one remained in the area for a very long time.
That alone was more than enough to scare most people off.
Even if this place wasn’t labeled as a Rank One restricted area, most of the countries in the world regarded it as much more dangerous than Rank One restricted areas.
No one would dare set foot here unless they had no other choice.
Dr. Erebus asked, “Are we really going to—”
“I’ll go alone! This place is a little dangerous for you guys!” Levi cut him off.
What he said was completely true.
Even if the spiritual energy eruption had stopped, this place was still the site of an eruption.
Putting the vortex aside, the spiritual ley line beneath it still had a terrifying residual spiritual energy storm, and anyone who got sucked into it would surely get injured or killed.
Spiritual energy storms from spiritual ley lines were different from those in the surroundings.
The spiritual energy in the surrounding has been “filtered” by Levi, making them more absorbent in the human body.
The one in the vortex, however, could kill anyone that came into contact with it.
Even Deities were no exception.
Levi then stepped out of the aircraft and plummeted straight into the gigantic vortex, much to Digital God’s horror.
Although he had experienced the effects of the vortex and became a godlike existence, he was still a little afraid of the vortex and what lay beneath it.
The gigantic vortex was still swirling with spiritual energy as the spiritual ley line beneath it still had tons of spiritual energy left.
Please let there be magical herbs! I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t find them here!
Levi thought to himself as he rapidly descended through the vortex.
The spiritual energy gradually became stronger as he went lower into the vortex. It wasn’t long before they started cutting and tearing anything they touched like razor blades.
This spiritual ley line was so powerful that even those as durable as Deities would get obliterated in an instant.
Not only did it have the power to change the world, but it could also continuously generate such devastating energy.
Boom!
Levi finally arrived at the site of the spiritual ley line’s eruption.
Instead of being completely shrouded in darkness, the area was as bright as day because of the spiritual energy.
The spiritual ley line was right underneath the ground he stood on.
Chapter 2939 Beyond Their Limits
Because he was too busy stopping the eruption back then, he didn’t have time to go near the spiritual ley line at all. As such, this was Levi’s first time being so close to the super spiritual ley line.
It felt like he had entered a cave of some sort.
The rock wall outside the entrance had stalactites and water droplets that formed from the spiritual energy.
A single drop of that water was as potent as magical medicine.
Standing by the entrance, Levi stared at the large hole that was a few thousand feet deep.
The walls of the cave were thick and strong as they had been formed bit by bit over the course of tens of thousands of years.
That was probably the only reason the spiritual ley line had remained so stable.
Digital God’s aircraft had only blown a little hole in the cave, but it eventually cracked and deepened.
Upon entering the hole in the cave, Levi saw that the super spiritual ley line was like a mine that stretched for thousands of miles.
It was sealed off from the outside world and contained a high concentration of spiritual energy.
Although most of the spiritual energy had escaped due to the eruption, there was still a terrifyingly huge amount of residual spiritual energy inside the mine.
The sight of the water dripping on the outside of the cave wall got Levi all excited.
If this is what’s on the outside of the cave, things should get a lot easier on the inside!
Whoosh!
He could see a scary spiritual energy storm the moment he entered the cave.
Even if most of spiritual energy had been released from the super spiritual ley line, the residual was still too powerful for humans to absorb.
To make matters worse, the environment around the super spiritual ley line was harsh to the extreme.
The look on Levi’s face changed instantly, and he felt a shudder down his spine when he saw that.
Looks like I was wrong. Nothing could possibly survive in an environment with this kind of spiritual energy. If this place is uninhabitable now even with the weakened state of the super spiritual ley line, then it would only be worse back then. I was hoping that the concentrated spiritual energy would allow for magical herbs to grow, but there is a limit to the concentration of spiritual energy tolerable for their growth. Those magical herbs can’t survive in an environment with such ridiculously high concentrations of spiritual energy. If I can find even one that grows here, it would definitely be on a whole different level. However, this combination of a harsh environment and extreme concentrations of spiritual energy makes life here completely impossible.
Even with that thought in mind, Levi continued pushing forward.
He refused to leave so soon after going through all that trouble to come here.
The spiritual energy grew stronger as Levi got closer to the spiritual ley line, but he had become strong enough to withstand it.
Had he found himself in this position back then, he probably wouldn’t have survived something like this.
After pushing forward for what seemed like forever, a strong heat wave came surging toward him.
The temperature of the heat wave was enough to melt a Deity, but the look on Levi’s face didn’t even change in the slightest.
The concentrated spiritual energy in the area he was in had turned into flames.
Unlike the flames outside the cave, the ones formed from spiritual energy were so powerful that they could burn anything.
Levi could take down any number of Deities with ease if he could control those flames, but he didn’t need to.
Instead, he simply weathered the spiritual energy flames as he continued making his way forward.
It wasn’t long before he came across an area with icy-cold spiritual energy.
Like the flames from earlier, it could freeze anything it encountered, and only Levi could withstand its coldness.
As he didn’t see what he was looking for, he had no choice but to keep pushing forward.
He was determined to search the entire super spiritual ley line even if his chances of finding magical herbs were insanely slim.
As Levi went deeper, he realized that there were plenty of areas that were sealed off from the outside world.
That caused the spiritual energy to be trapped inside even after the spiritual energy revival.
On top of that, there were all sorts of topographic features inside the cave.
The spiritual energy was probably influenced by the topographic features which resulted in them having different forms.
Levi saw many forms of spiritual energy along the way.
“Wait a minute… What is that?”
Chapter 2940 Fossilized Tree
Levi was shocked when he saw a tree in the distance.
A tree growing in here? This must be a magical herb!
Levi quickly ran toward the tree, only to realize it had turned into a fossil.
The tree must have existed there for a very long time if it turned into a fossil.
For reasons unknown, Levi found the tree to be rather familiar. He felt like he had seen it before somewhere, but he couldn’t recall where.
I bet this tree could even blossom and bear fruits in the past, huh? He thought to himself as he pressed on.
He then came across a few more fossils moments later.
Some of them were large and belonged to animals.
Although they were all valuable resources for scientific researchers, none of them benefited Levi in any way at the time.
All he wanted was to cure Forlevia’s poisoning, so nothing else mattered to him at all.
At this point, he had come to accept that he would find no magical herbs within the super spiritual ley line, and that he had come all this way for nothing.
Meanwhile, Dr. Erebus and Digital God were anxiously waiting for his return in the aircraft.
“Huh? Why do I feel like we’re being watched?” Dr. Erebus asked all of a sudden.
He felt a chill down his spine, and his hair was all standing on end.
It was as if a ferocious beast had set its sights on him.
Digital God too, felt the same way after hearing that.
He had broken into a cold sweat, and his face went pale as he shuddered.
However, they couldn’t see anybody no matter where they looked, so they had no idea where the people were watching them from.
There was indeed a team consisting of one woman and three men watching them in secret.
They were dressed from head to toe in bronze armor with a faint blue glow to it, and they all had swords or bows and arrows on them.
They were so well-hidden that even Dr. Erebus couldn’t pinpoint their location with his powers.
“We’ve found it! If not mistaken, this is the site of the eruption that changed the world! That super spiritual ley line should be right beneath it! It’s so scary that I can’t even compare it to the one we train with!” said the guy with a spear on his back.
It was obvious that they relied on spiritual ley lines for survival, but it definitely wasn’t anything like the one beneath the South Pole’s glaciers.
“This is the place, all right! Look at that vortex formed from spiritual energy! It’s definitely stronger than the one at our place!” said the other guy with a sword on his back.
“Shall we go down and check it out?” asked the man wielding a crossbow.
“Forget it. Given our current strength, none of us will survive going down there!” replied the sole female member of the group.
Her icy-cold tone and haunting beauty was enough to take one’s breath away.
The other three nodded in unison.
She then looked at Digital God’s aircraft hovering above them and said coldly, “Do these guys seriously want to explore this place? How foolish of them!”
“Yeah! They’re clearly overestimating themselves! We wouldn’t even dare try to explore this place!” the others replied with sneers on their faces.
The sight of the aircraft hovering around the spiritual energy vortex gave them the impression that Dr. Erebus and Digital God were going to explore the place.
Boom!
Suddenly, the vortex covering half of the South Pole began to change.
The four of them shifted their gaze toward it in unison, only to see that the vortex was spinning in the opposite direction.
The ground in the South Pole too, started shaking beneath their feet.
“W-What’s going on?”
“Why is the vortex’s direction reversed? Why do I feel like this is a man-made change?” the guys asked nervously.
“That’s impossible! No one could possibly have the power to reverse the vortex’s direction! Do you guys not know how powerful the spiritual energy inside it is? You’d have to…” the woman snapped back at them coldly but stopped herself mid-sentence.
Everyone else understood what she was implying.
According to her understanding, it was impossible for anyone to pull off such a stunt.
“Looks like something is about to come out of it! Stay sharp, guys!” shouted one of the group members.
The four of them then kept their gazes fixated on the vortex beneath them.
