Ch. 3791..3800
Chapter 3791 The Strength Of The Holy Guardians
The burly man, whose name was Rukas, threatened Levi, “Since you’re asking for it, I’ll gladly send you to your death.”
Then, to the elite subordinates under his command, he ordered, “Kill him!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Their arrogance was palpable. They clearly did not believe Levi was their match.
One of them shouted, “Let me show you what divine power looks like, you reprobate!”
As he spoke, the men unleashed their attacks.
Though Levi did not notice anything amiss at the start, he soon realized something was off.
The ground beneath his feet seemed as if it had a life of its own. Some invisible energy pulled his legs firmly toward the ground to restrict his movement.
Seeing that, Rukas roared, “That’s our chance. Charge!”
His fighters quickly attacked Levi from all sides.
One of them was muttering as he approached Levi. Suddenly, droplets of water materialized out of thin air and fused into the shape of an incredibly sharp sword.
At the same time, the trees around them grew at an alarming rate, their branches rapidly thickening into the size of trunks.
The tips of the branches morphed into sharp points as they stabbed toward Levi’s heart.
“Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They can control all five elements?” Shock flitted through Levi’s gaze.
The men’s abilities to manipulate the elements were almost on par with Forlevia.
Of course, his daughter relied more strongly on the power of the universe, which differentiated her battle prowess from everyone else.
Levi muttered to himself, “These men who serve the Holy Guardians have some talent, after all!”
He promptly dropped his contempt for his opponents and called upon his basic combat techniques.
A potent energy emanated from Levi’s body and charged toward the branches and water sword.
Crack!
There was a massive difference in power between Levi’s and his enemies’ attacks. Levi’s energy instantly obliterated the branches and water sword into dust.
“You must be delusional if you think these tricks are enough to defeat me.”
Scoffing, Levi stomped hard on the ground. The earth elemental energy that had enveloped his legs before crumbled without resistance.
The elite subordinates backed off in horror, utterly stunned.
Rukas was equally flabbergasted. He never imagined how explosive Levi’s power would be.
Hastily, he announced, “Don’t go easy on him. Use your strongest attacks. And you all! Help them out!”
He instinctively assumed that his subordinates had lost because they underestimated Levi and held back on their attacks.
An unconcerned Levi scoffed and replied, “Come at me, then! I don’t want to waste my time killing you off one by one.”
“The audacity! Save your arrogance until you’ve defeated our Holy Guardian’s ten elite warriors!” rebuked Rukas fiercely.
He knew Levi had not unleashed his full power either, and he wished to gauge the extent of Levi’s abilities.
“Go to h*ll, Bayview reprobate!”
“Taste the might of my water sword!”
“Thunderslash!”
The ten men charged at Levi amid a flurry of fancy chants.
Just then, the ground began shaking violently as though a monstrous creature was about to burst forth.
Streaks of lightning darted toward Levi’s vital organs like pythons.
The water sword made its reappearance, bearing down on Levi without giving him space to retreat.
Levi had no plans to cower from the attacks as he bellowed, “Scram!”
Though his opponents’ abilities surprised him, Levi was largely unconcerned about them defeating him.
He could easily dismantle their fancy attacks with a single strike.
A second later, Levi disappeared from where he stood before throwing out a single punch to counter the elemental attacks coming his way.
His punch unleashed strong gusts of wind, which quickly amalgamated into a massive energy whirlpool. It swallowed and destroyed his ten opponents’ attack in the blink of an eye.
The fighters who stood closest to Levi failed to jump out of harm’s way and were sucked into the horrifying whirlpool, instantly turning into mists of blood.
“Argh!” Agonized wails filled the air.
The ones who stood further away had collapsed on the ground, heavily injured and in no shape to fight back.
Chapter 3792 Killing Spree
“H-How could this be?” Rukas stammered in shock. He simply could not believe his eyes. Levi had killed five elite fighters in one fell swoop and heavily injured another five.
The surviving elites gasped in surprise. Their comrades who had perished were hardly weaker fighters than them. In fact, some were even stronger warriors.
They could not understand how their combined attack had crumbled so quickly against Levi’s counterattack. Levi sneered, “It’s a pity the gods are being protected by losers like you.”
His scornful comment infuriated Rukas, who bellowed, “You despicable Bayview reprobate! You’re asking for it! Anyone foolish enough to offend the Holy Guardians will suffer the wrath of the twelve Holy Temples!”
Levi shrugged and drawled nonchalantly, “Well, I’ll just have to kill all of you then.”
“F*ck you! I’ll burn you to ashes myself!”
Rukas used his technique and quickly summoned two rings of fire around his palms.
Flames filled the space and concentrated around the rings, boosting their size and might.
Crackle!
The fire rings expanded rapidly, and Levi heard the sound of something burning.
Upon further scrutiny, one could observe that the space around the fire rings appeared to be distorted, almost as though it could not withstand their high temperature.
“How interesting!” Levi muttered while narrowing his eyes thoughtfully.
He clearly sensed the explosive energy emanating from his burly opponent. It would have killed Zerach in an instant.
Levi never imagined such powers existing in Adrune. Rukas’ earlier words implied that twelve factions of similar strength existed.
Meanwhile, Rukas roared, “Prepare to die, you reprobate!”
He disappeared midway through speaking and reappeared inches before Levi.
His destructive fire rings had distorted the surrounding space with their heat, and a charred smell wafted through the air.
Whoosh!
The fire rings suddenly flung themselves right at Levi’s head.
“Let’s see just how strong you are.”
Levi did not attempt to dodge Rukas’ fire rings but instead punched his fists out to counter the attack.
Everyone noticed a distinct, golden-hued energy around Levi’s body. It seemed as if he was wearing a set of impenetrable, golden armor.
Crash!
Their attacks clashed in mid-air and emitted a deafening sound.
Even the air around them appeared to be warped by the impact, sending everyone around them flying.
The weaker fighters became gravely injured.
Whoosh!
Amid the powerful clash, a figure suddenly soared through the air like a limp rag doll.
“Guardian!”
The crowd gasped in horror when they recognized the figure as Rukas.
The fire rings around his hands were extinguished, and his aura was severely weakened.
He had been flung more than sixty meters away. Blood trickled out of the corner of his lips.
On the other hand, Levi remained where he was, looking as imposing as an ancient war god.
He seemed so relaxed about the whole matter, as though the terrifying clash of energies earlier had had nothing to do with him.
“D*mn it!” Rukas panted heavily with exertion, his gaze filled with disbelief.
Though he had not unleashed his full power, he had used almost eighty percent of his potential, and it failed to even touch the edge of Levi’s shirt.
He thundered, “Everyone, charge at him together! We must kill him, or he will surely harm our Holy Temple in the future!”
The rest of his men hastily summoned their elemental attacks and charged fearlessly at Levi.
“We should’ve done this from the start. Now I can enjoy my killing spree.”
Levi glared at his enemies coldly and rushed forward to meet them, determined to kill off the Holy Guardian.
Chapter 3793 Hefaernus Holy Temple
Taking out the Holy Guardian’s men was akin to child’s play for Levi. Blood-curdling cries rang out as he darted through the crowd of enemies.
Seconds later, Rukas had lost at least ten men to death or severe injuries. Rukas swallowed nervously and muttered, “This Bayview reprobate is too formidable!”
The thought of surrendering surfaced in his mind as he watched Levi felling his army at an alarming rate. Many of his men had lost the will to fight. Levi was dealing fatal blows left and right, and there was little his opponents could do about it.
We need to find a good chance to retreat! Rukas made up his mind and concentrated his fire elemental power. While Levi was preoccupied with other enemies, he channeled the energy into a sea of arrows as thick as his arm.
Then, he aimed the arrows at Levi’s vital organs. Swoosh! The fiery arrows flew across the sky, advancing menacingly on Levi. The air heated up to a boiling point, causing any nearby plants to wilt instantly and burn to a crisp.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Levi’s punches sent another five men flying. “A sneak attack?” he mumbled and smirked upon noticing Rukas’ arrows. Then, he reached out and caught the fiery arrows bare-handed.
Actually, Rukas had already retreated after launching his sea of fire arrows. He noticed Levi catching his arrows out of the corner of his eye and was floored. The scene defied everything he thought he knew about the fire element.
How could someone catch the fiery arrows I launched bare-handed? I channeled every bit of my elemental power into that attack! It would’ve melted steel! Rukas mumbled, “I-Is he even human?”
His heart sank as he immediately regretted his decision to challenge Levi. He could never have known that Levi’s body had been transformed by multiple holy ley lines and that Levi was already embarking on the process to develop a divine aura.
Levi’s body was almost the living embodiment of the Iron Golem Technique. Meanwhile, the Holy Guardians army scattered in all directions after realizing their Holy Guardian had retreated.
“Hmph. Did you think I’d just let you go?” Levi threw a couple of the fire arrows at the escaping men. Some of them failed to dodge in time and were reduced to ashes.
Levi muttered to himself, “They’re not as strong as I thought!” He decided not to chase them down. After all, his goal was to advance his abilities with the dragon ley lines.
I need to get Wynona and the rest over here so they can improve their skills. We shouldn’t waste such excellent cultivation material. The Holy Guardians aren’t a real threat to me, but others may not be so lucky. They’ll eventually become a thorn in our side if we don’t improve everyone’s abilities.
Levi made up his mind and texted the core members of his base, urging them to hurry to where he was in batches.
He was not concerned about the Holy Guardians’ retaliation.
He had displayed his exceptional combat prowess earlier precisely to scare off the Holy Guardian and his men.
Meanwhile, in Yartran, the remaining council members of the ruling faction sat stony-faced in a silent conference room.
It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
A long moment later, Yartran’s leader said hoarsely, “I didn’t expect Levi’s cultivation to reach such terrifying heights. The Holy Guardians suffered a massive loss. Two Holy Guardians, the ones worshipping Hefaernus and Gaeus, were gravely injured. The situation is unbelievable.”
The other council members of Yartran could not help but shudder in fear.
The Holy Guardians fully deserved their affiliation with the divinity. Even at their nation’s peak, the Yartran people feared the Holy Guardians.
At some point, they even believed the Holy Guardians were capable of destroying Yartran if they wanted to.
To their shock, the men they revered so greatly had suffered a crippling defeat at Levi’s hands.
The Yartran council realized in hindsight how foolish they had been to mess with Levi in the past.
In the meantime, Rukas had made his way back to Hefaernus Holy Temple, named after the fire Orunthian, Hefaernus.
It was one of the twelve Holy Temples.
Chapter 3794 Twelve Dragon Ley Lines
As Rukas opened his eyes slowly, fiery flames seemed to flicker in his gaze.
After cultivating for a long time, more than half of the internal injuries he suffered were finally healed.
“F*ck! Who on earth was that Bayview reprobate?” he demanded angrily.
He had led a team of fifty men into battle, but only eight survived.
Thirty-five men had been killed on the spot, while another seven had been seriously wounded. To make things worse, the conditions of the injured did not look promising.
“Rukas, should we send word to the other Guardians to join forces and take that guy down?” someone asked.
“I agree. How can we continue calling ourselves men of the Holy Guardians if we don’t get revenge?”
“If the Orunthians are reborn in the future and they find out about this, we’ll certainly get punished.”
The others were also indignant and furious at Levi.
Rukas was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “This person is too strong. Before we know more about him, it’ll be best if we don’t act rashly.”
“Could he be from the legendary realm of Kenfort in Bayview?”
As soon as someone voiced that thought, another person objected, “I don’t think so. Even a leader from Kenfort’s mid-level sects might not be as strong as you. And if they did send a fighter from a top-level sect, the other Holy Guardians would’ve sensed it.”
“That’s right,” Rukas agreed. Then, he continued in a low voice, “Let’s search for the other dragon ley lines first and send some people to investigate that reprobate from Bayview. At the end of the day, we still don’t possess enough energy sources. Otherwise, once the Orunthians are reborn, even Kenfort will have to show their respect, let alone that reprobate.”
We possess many divine and holy ley lines. The only thing lacking is dragon ley lines. If we succeed in finding them, we’ll be able to initiate the birth of the Orunthians whom we have guarded for generations.
Rukas was a member of the ancient family who worshipped Hefaernus. Meanwhile, the other eleven families who worshipped the other Orunthians were spread across Adrune.
Resurrecting the Orunthians had been their mission for generations and the reason for their existence.
Now that the energy from the divine and holy ley lines is nowhere near enough, we can only rely on the power of the dragon ley lines for a shot at resurrecting the Orunthians. When that happens, we’ll have an unshakeable pillar of support, and conquering the world will be child’s play.
“Just you wait, you reprobate. Once the Orunthians have returned, I’ll definitely slaughter you and every last person who has anything to do with you,” Rukas muttered viciously.
Meanwhile, Levi had begun another session to boost his cultivation level after driving away the Holy Guardians.
He felt his powers were still sorely lacking should he intend to eradicate the Void Sect and other forces of that level.
Hence, he started using dragon ley lines to metamorphose as though in a frenzy, and the effects of doing so were just as astonishing as he anticipated.
The difference between using holy ley lines and dragon ley lines was simply worlds apart.
For most people, using a divine ley line would be sufficient in raising the limits on their powers due to their cultivation level and physique.
However, Forlevia was born with a devourer spiritual bone and could already metamorphose using holy ley lines to get stronger.
I’ll set aside one dragon ley line for Evie and another as a spare, then use the rest.
After further exploration, Levi found twelve dragon ley lines in the secret zone.
Not only that, there were countless holy ley lines and divine ley lines. Even if everyone at the base uses them to metamorphose, there’ll still be more than enough.
“As expected, these dragon ley lines are truly something else. I can even vaguely hear the sound of a dragon’s roar. The ancient manuals mention it’s possible to breed real dragons. I wonder whether that’s true or not?” Levi said wistfully.
Digital God replied with a smile, “I’m looking forward to you metamorphosing into a body that possesses the strength of a real dragon. Then, I can study the matter carefully.”
“Let’s hope your wish comes true. All right, then. I’m going to start my solitary training.”
With that, Levi proceeded to metamorphose with the help of ten dragon ley lines.
No one would have expected the mundane world to contain dragon ley lines, so it was even more surprising that there was a cluster of them.
Chapter 3795 The Last Thrashing Was Not Enough
Over at the Void Sect in Kenfort, their cultivation level had improved after acquiring the many cultivation resources provided by Heptino.
Having never enjoyed such an abundance of cultivation resources, Xylas, Wade, and the other trusted aides also benefited greatly from it.
Hence, everyone felt even more determined to be loyal to Gloria.
“Even without the Void Sect’s support, I no longer have to fear retaliation from Levi and the rest,” she declared.
Gloria brimmed with confidence, especially since she had yet to finish devouring the dragon ley lines from Heptino. She knew she would ascend to a new level after doing so.
There’s no chance Levi will have access to such powerful cultivation resources in the mundane world, so the disparity between our capabilities will only grow bigger.
Her smile widened as she uttered, “Levi and Floyd, you can forget about ever getting revenge!”
Suddenly, she felt a sense of loneliness stemming from rising to the top.
“As I gradually get stronger, my status will be elevated even higher. A nobody like Levi will become utterly insignificant and negligible. As for all my enemies from the mundane world, they won’t be worth an ounce of my attention anymore.”
Then, Gloria let out a long sigh and remarked somewhat sadly, “However, things will become so dull. I’ll never be able to experience the exhilaration of toying with them again.”
Meanwhile, the Holy Guardians were still reluctant to give up. After numerous investigations by multiple parties, they finally ascertained Levi’s identity and background.
“I wasn’t expecting that reprobate from Bayview to be the culprit behind Yartran’s destruction. Just as I thought, he’s not a fighter from Kenfort. In that case, we can deal with him without having too much to worry about,” Rukas remarked quietly.
“What do the other Guardians say, Peneleo?” Rukas asked, looking at the middle-aged man with reddish hair sitting opposite him. The man had a hulking physique like Rukas’, and the flicker of flashing lightning was vaguely visible on his palms. He was the leader of Zyus Holy Temple.
Peneleo answered in a low voice, “Their view is that we must get our hands on the dragon ley lines in the secret zone. There were only two Guardians in the team during the previous attack. If more of us team up and strike together, we’ll surely succeed in killing Levi. According to the information we have, Levi is currently in solitary training. Hence, it’s the perfect time to launch a sneak attack.”
Rukas’ solemn expression showed that he was carefully weighing the pros and cons.
All twelve Holy Guardians have already found the seed for their respective gods. Only by ensuring the Holy Temples develop well will we be able to expedite the rebirth of the Orunthians. Cultivation resources are also becoming increasingly important, particularly top-grade resources such as dragon ley lines. Most importantly, we’ve searched high and low for many years without discovering a single dragon ley line. Lo and behold, there now happens to be a cluster in the realm where Levi is, which is incredibly rare.
Finally, Rukas made up his mind. “Gather our elite fighters at once, then send word to the other Guardians. This time, Levi will perish.”
Peneleo grinned and said, “That’s more like it. How can the Holy Guardians be afraid of that reprobate? We’ll send out five Guardians and over a hundred elites, so there’s no doubt he’ll fall.”
Rukas fell into deep thought. I hope so. Were it not because the dragon ley lines are a much-needed cultivation resource, I would never want to provoke that guy again.
It could be said that Levi’s frightening display of his combat prowess had traumatized Rukas.
Soon, Rukas, Peneleo, and three other Guardians led more than a hundred of the Holy Temples’ elite fighters toward the secret zone where the dragon ley lines were.
Upon their arrival, Peneleo shouted, “Come out to meet your end, Levi!”
By then, Levi had already used three dragon ley lines to metamorphose, and there had been a significant advancement in his cultivation level.
After our previous battle, the last thing I expected was for these guys to come looking for trouble again.
“It looks like the last thrashing you got wasn’t enough,” he responded mockingly.
Chapter 3796 Killing Holy Guardians
Levi was fearless despite being besieged by the Holy Guardians and more than a hundred other men. In fact, his voice dripped with sarcasm when he spoke.
Confidence ran high among the Guardians who had not witnessed Levi’s capabilities, and they shouted provoking remarks. “The five of us will surely crush you and turn you into ash today!”
“That’s right. With the presence of the Holy Guardians in Adrune, you’ve no business strutting around here.”
“That’s enough chit-chat. Prepare to die!”
Although Rukas had reminded them to be cautious, they were arrogant and thought the former had lost merely because he was not powerful enough.
Levi crooked a finger, beckoning to the Holy Guardians tauntingly.
“You asked for it!”
Peneleo was the first to attack. As he prepared to strike, light encircled his hands and formed two balls of lightning in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying sound of electricity crackling rang out in the air. Then, with one swift jerk of his hands, the lightning orbs hurtled toward Levi like cannonballs.
However, Levi did not attempt to dodge the attack and stretched out his hands to catch the lightning orbs. “All of you should come at me together so that you don’t waste my time.”
Snickering coldly, Peneleo replied, “You think too highly of your capabilities. Since you dared to catch them with your bare hands, prepare to be reduced to ashes!”
“Is that so?”
The corners of Levi’s lips lifted into a slight smirk as he caught the two balls of lightning expertly.
“I believe these are yours. Let me return them to you!”
With a twitch of Levi’s arms, the two lightning orbs shot toward Peneleo, speeding through the air several times faster than before.
“How is this possible?”
Peneleo was utterly stupefied. Nonetheless, knowing the destructive power of those lightning orbs, he dared not remain where he was and tried his best to dodge aside.
The two balls of lightning whizzed past, barely missing him.
Unfortunately, the Holy Temples’ elite fighters behind him were not so lucky.
They thought that even if Peneleo’s attack did not kill Levi, it would surely leave the latter seriously wounded.
To their surprise, Levi not only caught the lightning balls in his hands but even flung them back in the direction they came.
“Aarghh!”
Several of them failed to dodge in time and were instantly burnt to ashes.
Peneleo was enraged, feeling as though he had shot himself in the foot.
Rukas said in a deep voice, “Don’t just stand by and watch. Let’s attack him together and get this over with quickly!”
The three other Holy Guardians no longer acted arrogantly and proceeded to unleash their powers.
Water swords, fiery arrows, lightning orbs, and many other fancy yet deadly attacks rained down on Levi.
The elite fighters also attacked in full force. Although they could not compare to a single attack from the Holy Guardians, they had the advantage in terms of their numbers.
“Excellent!” Levi called out, radiating a chilling fighting spirit when he saw them charging at him together.
Instead of retreating, he faced his opponents’ attacks head-on and delivered numerous punches.
Strong winds swept through the air like a vortex, and the faint sound of dragon roars could be heard from within the powerful energy waves.
A loud rumble sounded, and a second later, the Holy Guardians’ combined attack was obliterated.
More importantly, Levi’s punches did not weaken. He continued to attack the Holy Guardians with immeasurable energy and devastating force.
“Aarghhh!”
Agonized screams pierced the air.
Those who were stronger struggled to keep their bodies intact while the force of the punches tore through the bodies of the slightly weaker ones, smashing them to smithereens.
Even the five Holy Guardians inevitably suffered grave injuries.
“How does he wield so much power in a single blow?”
A sense of despair rose within the five Holy Guardians, and they gave up all thought of resisting.
“Since you’re here, you might as well stay here forever!”
When Levi attacked again, three Guardians failed to dodge in time and lost their lives.
Rukas and Peneleo were only slightly further away. However, they moved at a much faster speed than the other three and managed to escape death.
As the pair fled frantically without a backward glance, the other elite fighters scattered in all directions, stricken with fear.
After successfully driving away the powerful Holy Guardians, Levi was once again awed by the dragon ley lines’ terrifying power.
Chapter 3797 Talent Of Forlevia Demonstrated Once More
Having experienced the terrifying power of the dragon ley line firsthand, Levi immediately decided to bring Forlevia over and let her use the dragon ley line to cultivate directly.
Forlevia was also quite shocked when she arrived at the secret zone, for she did not expect that there would be so many powerful spiritual ley lines there.
In particular, the purity of the spiritual energy there was more than ten times stronger than that of holy ley lines, and she could not help but channel her self-created technique.
“Huh?”
Forlevia suddenly felt a little strange. It was as though an invisible force was luring her.
“What’s wrong, Evie?” Levi asked, looking puzzled.
Forlevia answered with a serious expression, “Daddy, the moment I channeled my technique just now, I seem to have somehow established a connection with the extremely strong power of several spiritual ley lines.”
“Oh? Then can you try to state their general directions?” Levi said in a deep voice.
As Forlevia continued to channel her self-created technique, energy waves began rapidly spreading out from her body, which served as the center.
After a while, her eyes snapped open, and she said with a smile, “I can strongly sense two spiritual ley lines that are more than ten miles away in the southeast direction. I can also strongly sense three spiritual ley lines around twenty miles to the northwest, and there are also some over there.”
Levi’s expression shifted from bewilderment to surprise as Forlevia stated the directions and approximate distances one after another, as the locations she pointed out were precisely where the dragon ley lines were.
Moreover, he had purposefully used his power to conceal the dragon ley lines to be on the safe side.
Even Digital God could only determine the approximate location of the dragon ley lines with his detector, but the places his daughter pointed out were extraordinarily accurate.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a talent, Evie.”
Levi paused before continuing, “It’s not exactly a talent. It probably has something to do with the attributes of your self-created technique.”
Forlevia’s self-created technique seeks universal harmony using every bit of the universe’s energy and even finally fusing with the power of the universe to achieve an inexhaustible state of power. No matter what level they are, all spiritual ley lines are ultimately unique energy sources that the universe created, so it makes sense that a technique seeking universal harmony may connect in some way with them.
“So as my cultivation level improves, my sensitivity to the super-spiritual ley lines will become more and more acute,” Forlevia deduced.
Levi nodded before replying, “This should be the case under normal circumstances. Evie, try and see if you can use the dragon ley line to cultivate.”
He then bought her close to the dragon ley line, where she promptly channeled her self-created technique.
Roar!
Levi could clearly hear the roar of a dragon coming from the heart of the dragon ley line, like a pet happily greeting its owner.
Buzz!
Seconds later, the entire dragon ley line vibrated slightly, and a sizable energy vortex formed around Forlevia’s body that began frantically absorbing the power of the ley line.
“I can’t believe it’s causing a bigger reaction than my metamorphosis. It seems that Evie has no problem using the dragon ley line to cultivate.”
Levi was very pleased and even felt that his daughter’s talent was superior to his.
Despite that, only after watching over her for some time and seeing that she did not display any signs of discomfort did he feel entirely at ease.
Levi then began to metamorphose at a dragon ley line nearby so that as soon as Forlevia encountered any trouble, he could provide timely support.
In the meantime, the Holy Guardians and the elites who had fled frantically were also enhancing their powers after realizing how much stronger Levi was compared to them.
However, due to the Holy Guardians’ eagerness to initiate the birth of the Orunthians, the dragon ley line’s power became all the more important, and the many dragon ley lines in the secret zone were practically resources within reach.
Even with the ferocious Levi hoarding them, it could not completely dispel the Holy Guardians’ covetous desires.
Fortunately, they had more than enough holy ley lines and divine ley lines in their hands to allow their abilities to improve once more.
Hence, the remaining Holy Guardians mutually agreed to use the resources at their disposal to strengthen their abilities before going to seize the dragon ley lines within the secret zone or look for others.
Chapter 3798 Levi Heads To Kenfort
Meanwhile, after attending Gloria and Primo’s wedding, Floyd also began cultivating maniacally. Having completely let go of his feelings, the emptiness in his heart was taken over by hatred.
This allowed him to reach a state where he had no other distractions, and he frantically plundered the cultivation resources of the five sects. “Floyd, Bluesky Sect’s inventory is empty. Do you want to check out the other sects?”
The bitterness in Hansel’s voice was palpable. Floyd has been furiously scouring cultivation resources since returning from the wedding, and he has already consumed practically all of the higher-grade magical herbs in Bluesky Sect’s inventory.
If this continues, the disciples of the sect won’t have any resources for further cultivation to support them, and the sect’s demise is all but guaranteed.
Floyd responded with displeasure, “If the inventory has nothing left, go out and find some for me. Kenfort has countless magical herbs. It is you all who are ultimately not committed to your job.”
Cultivating the extreme devouring technique might have made him more violent as he frequently punished others and, in severe cases, outright ended their lives.
He had already claimed more than ten people’s lives on the spot for carrying out his orders poorly. “All right. I’ll send someone to look for them right away!”
Hansel could only bite the bullet and agree to it. In actuality, someone had suggested teaming up to get rid of Floyd, but they were ultimately worried about Levi, who was backing him.
Coupled with the fact that Floyd’s current abilities had greatly improved, and they did not have total confidence to act rashly.
Staring at Hansel and the others’ retreating figures, Floyd murmured, “Please wait patiently, Gloria Gaston. I’ll definitely take your life with my own hands.”
However, he was unaware that Gloria had long attained greater heights in her cultivation. Her power had advanced to a terrifying level, particularly after she devoured the dragon ley line lately.
In her opinion, she could singlehandedly defeat the seven Empyreans, even if they joined forces. “Nowadays, no one in the Void Sect is a match for me, probably not even Lord Earkenhait,” she said proudly.
Moreover, Gloria had built solid relationships, and when combined with her status as the future sect leader’s wife, her network within Void Sect quickly reached its strongest.
Not only that, but she also used the many holy ley lines provided by the seven Empyreans as bargaining chips to enhance the abilities of many direct subordinates, and the rate at which they advanced was shocking.
She had also recruited a team of rogue cultivators with formidable fighting skills outside of Void Sect, led by Wade and his son.
It was conservatively estimated that the combat prowess of this team was comparable to that of small sects.
“Levi Garrison, I’m waiting for you to walk into my trap.”
Gloria’s smile grew wider. She had long made little of Levi.
Back in the secret zone, Levi was still frantically using the dragon ley lines to metamorphose.
Time passed, and a month later, he was the first to complete the metamorphosis. Only limited power remained in the ten dragon ley lines that had not been used up.
He could feel the flow of energy in the body. If it could be described as a surging river previously, it was currently like a vast ocean.
When Levi threw out a few casual punches, the roar of a dragon could be heard clearly.
“My physical strength, powers, and speed have practically reached the point of perfection. It’s time to go to Kenfort to take a look.”
After making up his mind, he immediately went to check on Forlevia.
“Have your abilities improved once more, Daddy?”
It just so happened that Forlevia had also finished refining and absorbing the power of that particular dragon ley line.
“Yes.” Levi nodded before stating with some surprise, “Evie, your powers seem to have grown even more!”
Although she had only used up one dragon ley line, he could distinctly sense that her abilities had risen several levels higher.
Currently, she was no less inferior than him before he first used the dragon ley line to metamorphose.
The speed at which she was advancing was simply too astounding.
“With you at the base, Evie, I can head to Kenfort without any worries,” Levi said with a smile.
Chapter 3799 First Time In Kenfort
The power of the ten dragon ley lines had yet to be completely drained, so Forlevia could still use it.
Levi then checked Wynona’s and the others’ cultivation levels, and they had improved after metamorphosing through the holy ley line.
The other members of the base had also improved with the divine ley line, and they were much more powerful than before.
Levi became at ease at that.
As long as Kenfort’s ultimate sects were not the ones attacking them, the members of the base would be safe.
Even if they were up against the Holy Guardians, Forlevia and Wynona were around, so they needed not to fear anything.
After settling everything else, Levi rushed to Kenfort alone.
He was already familiar with the location of Celestial Gate, and this time, he forced his way through the bronze gate.
The journey was smooth, but he did not enter Kenfort through the route Zerach and the others had provided him.
Of course, that was a decision Levi had made, as he would rather be safe than sorry. After all, he was not familiar with the matters of Kenfort.
It was highly likely that Void Sect would plant informants on the normal routes.
Levi planned to sneak into Kenfort to investigate things. He did not want to alert anyone to his plan.
That was why he did not inform, including the sects he had control over and Floyd.
If he were to tell them anything, Gloria would surely find out about his plans before he wanted her to.
This must be the restricted area route that Zerach and the others talked about.
After passing through the energy barriers, Levi came to the end of the road. Then, an unknown mineral stone plaque appeared in his line of sight.
The huge stone plaque had a dim blue glow, and the words on it were particularly eye-catching: Silential Restricted Zone.
Zerach said that this restricted area was located by the borders of Celestial Gate. It’s to stop the people who don’t usually enter Kenfort.
Without any hesitation, Levi entered the Silential Restricted Zone.
“Awoo!”
Right then, a strange cry came from deep within the forest.
“A beast?” Levi sneered. “I’d like to see how ferocious you can be.”
With that, he darted into the forest. In the forest were countless strangely shaped rocks and vines that grew everywhere, but still, Levi could sense that the spiritual energy there was abundant.
Boom!
A thick old tree a distance away shook violently. Something had clearly hit it.
The tree was hundreds of meters tall, and it was as thick as six people standing close together. One could not imagine how terrifying the beast could possibly be.
Levi continued forward. The shade of the ancient trees hid the sun away, and if not for Levi’s excellent sight, he would have had even more difficulty finding his way around.
An hour later, Levi abruptly came to a stop. As it turned out, a beast looking like a brown bear was in his way.
The beast was three meters tall, and it had brownish-black fur with two sharp horns on the top of its head.
Furthermore, it had blue eyes that seemed to glow, and those eerie eyes were fixed on Levi.
With a strange cry, the beast lunged toward Levi.
It swung its paws toward him like a gigantic wave, and with the wind came the aura of death.
“It’s that fast?”
Levi was a little taken aback. He thought that the beast’s giant body would slow it down.
“I’ll let you have a taste of my fist! You’ll be the perfect subject to test out the results of my cultivation.”
With that, Levi threw a punch at the beast.
The roar of a dragon could be vaguely heard in the area.
The moment the beast heard the roar, it stiffened.
Pow!
Levi’s fist struck the beast and sent the heavy beast flying.
Not long after, it crashed onto the ground and died.
Anyone with eyes could see the gaping hole in its chest. Even its heart had been torn apart.
“What a weakling,” Levi commented with a snort.
Then, he abruptly whipped his head to the back. His sudden action made the eyes that had been watching him turn away.
Chapter 3800 Bumping Into The Empyrean
All Levi did was wave his hand to assert dominance, and the beasts who had been eyeing Levi and waiting for the chance to take his life instantly scurried away.
“The survival of the fittest is really the concept here,” Levi lamented. Still, he was glad that the ten dragon ley lines had done wonders. After surveying his surroundings, he noticed a plant with nine colors on its petals behind the beast.
“The Nine-colored Glacio Herb?” It was an otherworldly herb recorded in Bluesky Sect’s ancient manual, and it was rarely found anywhere, including Kenfort.
The more dangerous the restricted area is, the better the things I will find. I might as well take the chance to scavenge for some magical herbs. They’ll be useful regardless of whether I’ll be using them for myself or for my close friends.
Once Levi made up his mind, he began collecting magical herbs as he went on his way. Once he passed the Silential Restricted Zone, he would be able to reach the place where the prominent sects of Kenfort were at.
While he searched for the magical herbs in the restricted area, he encountered plenty of beasts. Alas, Levi was too powerful, and he basically wiped them all out.
If I was any weaker, I might not be able to leave the Silential Restricted Zone alive. He could guess that cultivators around Zerach’s level would have to pay a terrible price to get past the Silential Restricted Zone.
In fact, some might end up paying with their lives. In the next few days, Levi discovered three holy ley lines and a super-spiritual ley line that was about to become a dragon ley line.
Although they were not of much use to Levi, he did not just walk past them as he used them to metamorphose. On the tenth day since he entered the Silential Restricted Zone, Levi felt that he must have reached the center of the restricted area.
Right then, soft sounds of footsteps traveled into Levi’s ears. When Levi looked at the spot a distance from him, he saw a team of young people hurrying over to him.
There were dozens of people on that team, and Levi could sense that they were more powerful than the Paladins of Void Sect. The leading woman, who was in a green dress, had a great figure and beautiful looks. As a matter of fact, she moved with grace.
It was almost as if she was a goddess who was walking among men. One could watch her from afar but was not allowed to come close to her.
Furthermore, she was exceptionally strong. Levi guessed that she had to be many times stronger than Santino.
These people must be the elites of the major sects in Kenfort.
Whilst Levi was contemplating that, the people came closer to him.
“This guy’s gutsy! He actually entered the Silential Restricted Zone by himself. It’s a miracle he hasn’t died by now.”
“That’s right. He looks like he’s on the same route as us. It seems that he’s lucky because of us.”
“You think? A beast would have mauled him by now if he had to rely on his own strength alone.”
The people had looks of disdain on their faces, but they soon noticed the magical herbs in Levi’s hands.
“This guy’s actually lucky! The magical herbs he collected aren’t any lousier than the ones we have!”
“Why don’t we kill him and take his herbs?”
A greedy glint flashed past the people’s eyes as they spoke to each other telepathically.
“Let’s not make any rash moves. I’ll find out who he is and why he’s here first before we do anything.”
At the leading woman’s words, everyone on the team tucked away their homicidal intent. Still, they could not stop themselves from staring at the magical herbs in Levi’s hands.
“I am Empyrean Cheriette Morell of Astre Lune Sect. May I know which sect you’re from?”
It was a simple greeting, but somehow, it sounded as if Cheriette was looking down on Levi.
“I belong to no sect,” Levi replied with a smile.
The members of Astre Lune Sect looked at him with even more contempt at that. Levi’s answer meant that he was a rookie who had just arrived from the mundane world.
“Well, then, Sir, please walk with us. That way, we’ll be able to take care of each other,” Cheriette suggested.
