Ch. 3811..3820
Chapter 3811 You Can Kill Them But Not Me
“D*mn it!” Cheriette cursed under her breath. She regretted inviting Levi to the sect. It’s fine if he’s of no help. It’s understandable since those from the mundane world are weaker. But Levi’s attitude now is just exasperating.
If it wasn’t because she was occupied with fending off the attacks, Cheriette would have charged at Levi and cut him down with her sword.
Naturally, Levi wasn’t oblivious to the hostility shown by the members of Astre Lune Sect, but he couldn’t care less about them. “Why should I help you when you have nothing to do with me at all?”
Levi looked on with a nonchalant expression. Given how strong the members of Eclipse Academy were, the battle ended up as a one-sided massacre.
Agonized screams filled the air. Due to the gulf in strength, members of the various sects were slaughtered without being able to put up a fight.
Even an Empyrean like Cheriette could barely stand her ground against them. As for the other ordinary Paladins and elders, they were either dead or grievously wounded.
The warriors from Eclipse Academy dominated the battlefield.
With the passage of time, the tide of the battle grew increasingly dire for the various sects with many of their Empyreans injured.
“Argh!”
Upon the impact of a palm strike, Cheriette was sent flying with blood oozing out of her mouth.
“Empyrean Cheriette!” the members of Astre Lune Sect cried out as they looked in Cheriette’s direction.
Unfortunately, most of them were already exhausted. The momentary distraction had allowed the Eclipse Academy warriors to strike at their vital points, causing the instantaneous death of three men.
“Garrison, help Empyrean Cheriette out!” one of the Astre Lune Sect elders yelled anxiously.
The others fumed when they saw Levi smiling gleefully while showing no intention of rescuing Cheriette, who had fallen right in front of him.
“Here’s one that has slipped through our fingers!”
Only then did the members of Eclipse Academy notice Levi and the fact that he was totally unscathed.
“Kill him!” the leader in the black robe ordered.
One of the members of Eclipse Academy attacked Levi in a flash.
At that moment, Cheriette had managed to struggle up from the ground, but she showed no intention of saving Levi.
After all, his previous actions had utterly infuriated her.
In fact, she felt as if the only way she could be satisfied was to let Levi be killed by the members of Eclipse Academy.
“You deserve it!”
Those from Astre Lune Sect began to hurl abuse at Levi, for it seemed to be the only consolation they had before their death.
“Just as expected of a weakling from the mundane world. His fear must have consumed his mind,” a member of Astre Lune Sect mocked when he saw Levi remaining still.
However, an unbelievable scene happened the very next instant.
When a member of Eclipse Academy thrust his ancient sword straight at Levi’s chest, it failed to pierce his flesh.
Instead, the sound of metal clashing against each other was heard.
The attacker froze in shock, for he felt as if his sword had struck against a steel sheet.
“Pure physique training?”
Upon realizing what he was facing, the attacker attempted a horizontal slash at Levi’s neck.
“You’re not done yet?” Levi’s mischievous voice rang out.
All of a sudden, a sense of dread swelled from within the attacker.
Following that, he saw Levi holding his sword between his two fingers.
“Let go!”
Despite unleashing a burst of strength, he failed to remove his sword from Levi’s fingers, which felt like a pair of giant metal pincers.
“How is this possible?”
The attacker couldn’t believe his eyes. He released more energy but still failed to make the sword budge.
Chapter 3812 Overwhelming The Enemy
“Since you want it back so much, I’ll happily give it back to you!” Levi answered cheekily. Before the attacker understood what Levi meant, the latter had waved his arm. “This power…”
In that instant, the attacker felt a sudden numbness in his arm as his sword slipped out of his grip. Following that, its tip turned around and shot itself into his chest.
“That’s really fast!” Before the other members of Eclipse Academy could react, the sword had pierced through the man’s body. Because of the overwhelming momentum, he was sent flying with blood spewing out of his chest.
Thump! He crashed to the ground, his legs twitching momentarily before he died on the spot with an indignant look in his eyes. With everything happening in a flash, the crowd was lost in a daze.
Their leader was the first to regain his senses. He ordered coldly, “I didn’t expect to see an elite warrior hiding here. Kill him!”
Three members of Eclipse came forward. From their perspective, their companion had likely underestimated the enemy, as there were no deaths among them despite battling the elites of multiple sects.
As for Levi, he had been hiding among the members of Astre Lune Sect and was ridiculed by many of them. Evidently, they were sure he was nothing but a weakling from the mundane world.
“Do you really have a death wish?” Levi sneered. Previously, Levi didn’t offer his assistance, as the Astre Lune Sect and other sects had nothing to do with him.
But now that Eclipse Academy wanted him dead, he naturally wouldn’t sit idly by and let himself be killed. “Insolence!” the three men from Eclipse Academy roared.
Brandishing long swords in their hands, they looked at Levi with murderous intents in their eyes. “Get out of my way!” Without backing down, Levi intercepted the attacks with punches of his own.
As the howl of his explosive punch rang out, a faint dragon roar could be heard in the background. His three attackers were torn to shreds before the shockwave of the punches caused them to explode in a mist of blood. “How is this happening?”
The members of Eclipse Academy were utterly dumbfounded. None of them had expected their companions to die in the blink of an eye.
“Ignore the rest. Kill this one first,” their leader ordered. At that moment, the rest of the Eclipse Academy members withdrew from their respective battles and began attacking Levi on all sides.
“You fools!” Levi snorted and disappeared at once. He appeared behind one of his attackers, then sent him flying with a palm strike before the latter could react.
Soon, the battle turned into a one-sided massacre, just like what Eclipse Academy had done to the other sects. Fear and despair began to spread through the ranks of Eclipse Academy, as more than ten of them had been killed in just a few seconds.
The leader swallowed a lump in his throat. The horror began to emerge in his eyes for the very first time. “Now, it’s your turn!” Levi declared slowly.
The leader offered in a deep voice, “Which sect do you belong to? If you don’t mind, Eclipse Academy will make an exception by opening our doors to you.”
“Are you trying to recruit me because you’re no match for me? Weren’t you trying to kill me just a moment ago?” Levi retorted with a chuckle. The leader’s face turned gloomy.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you, do you? I’m curious to see how strong you really are.” The leader began wielding the ancient sword in his hand. He unleashed multiple slashes that let out a howl as if they were going to cut the air in front of him to pieces.
“Nice one!” With no intention of evading, Levi threw a punch.
Clang! The sound of clashing metal reverberated through the air. Thereafter, everyone watched as the leader was thrown back a great distance from the impact.
Chapter 3813 Kenfort Fighters Are No Big Deal
Crack! The leader’s sword shattered into pieces. Boom! Following that, his body crashed deep into the face of a mountain, sending gravel and rocks to fall to the bottom. “T-This isn’t possible!”
Those were the leader’s last words before his head fell limp. “Kenfort fighters are no big deal,” Levi mumbled to himself. The deathly silence that ensued made Levi feel as if he was the only person left in the world.
The members of all the other sects were dumbfounded by what they had seen. Subsequently, they fell into an uproar for five whole minutes.
“Which sect is this guy from? How is he so powerful?”
“My God, he defeated a warrior from Eclipse Academy!”
“Even the leader in the black robe was killed instantaneously. Such frightening power!”
“More importantly, he doesn’t look as if he used his full power!”
The crowd shifted their attention toward Levi. It was evident to them that he hadn’t broken a sweat.
It was as if he wasn’t involved in the intense battle that had just occurred.
“He looks to be someone from Astre Lune Sect.”
Once the comment rang out in the air, the crowd shifted their attention to the survivors of Astre Lune Sect.
Currently, only six remained out of their entourage of more than ten men. The crowd’s gazes soon jolted them back to their senses.
Staring at the invincible Levi, they felt as if they had just awoken from a dream.
“And here I was, planning to kill him earlier to plunder his treasure. If I had made my move then, I would have been dead now, wouldn’t I?”
“But didn’t we test his strength before this? How did it slip past our attention?”
“This is unbelievable. He even managed to hide it from Empyrean Cheriette, who has inherited the secret probing technique of her predecessor.”
“That technique has its limitations, which goes to show how infinitely stronger he is compared to Empyrean Cheriette.”
As the members of Astre Lune Sect chattered among themselves, a flood of emotions rushed into them—shock, remorse, doubt, and to some extent, fear.
Given that they had openly displayed their disdain toward Levi and never hid their intention to kill him, they were worried that he would hold them accountable for their actions.
They were filled with intense remorse.
If they had been on better terms with Levi, not only would they benefit personally, but the entire sect would be bestowed a significant advantage.
Unfortunately, they had now offended a powerful warrior, putting their own lives and the fate of their sect at risk.
It turns out that he’s extremely powerful! Cheriette, stunned by Levi’s display of power, was filled with disbelief. Did he really come from the mundane world? How can one from there be so strong? No wonder he seems relaxed throughout the episode. He’s not a fool who doesn’t recognize danger at all. Instead, his courage simply comes from his strength!
Thinking back to how she had underestimated Levi and her condescending attitude when recruiting him to the sect, Cheriette was overcome with regret and shame.
Perhaps he had secretly mocked me for overestimating myself.
Cheriette broke into a wry smile.
At the same time, she had found answers to the questions she had had about what had happened in the restricted area.
Levi emerged unscathed not because he was lucky, but because the beasts were unable to lay a finger on him. As to how he subsequently wasn’t attacked, it was probably due to the beasts keeping their distance after being intimidated by his strength.
Cheriette wanted to say something, but she realized she didn’t even know where to begin.
She, who was usually composed, was now just as anxious as everyone else, for she wasn’t sure how Levi would treat her and her fellow sect members.
Just as she was filled with shock and regret, a sudden flurry of footsteps echoed in the air.
Turning around to look, she was greeted by the arrival of Jayceon, who had rushed over with the warriors from the Septistar Order.
“When two factions fight, it benefits the one on the sidelines the most. I didn’t expect to be the last to arrive and the winner of this battle,” Jayceon remarked ecstatically.
Chapter 3814 Enjoying The Show
The Septistar Order led by Jayceon arrived late, only to discover many wounded members of the various sects. They realized a gruesome battle had occurred for the dragon ley line.
As the remaining survivors were all drained, no one could stand in Jayceon’s way of securing victory. “Empyrean Jayceon, Cheriette is among them and she seems to be badly hurt,” one of the Septistar Order Paladins reported.
When Jayceon turned to look, he saw the goddess-like Cheriette sitting in meditation with her legs crossed. The weakness of her breath was a clear indication of the grievous injury she had suffered.
“Capture Cheriette and kill the rest!” Jayceon ordered insidiously. All this while, he had been lusting over Cheriette, and finally, he encountered the rare opportunity of securing her easily.
As for the remaining Paladins of Astre Lune Sect, they were a spent force and could be eliminated without much effort. “Empyrean Jayceon, the dragon ley line is undamaged. We have struck gold!”
“With a dragon ley line of such scale, cultivating with it will definitely elevate our strength to the next level.”
“Life is certainly unpredictable. Although they discovered it first, all they’ve done is clear the way for us.”
The members of the Septistar Order cheered jubilantly, as they were surprised by their stroke of luck despite arriving late.
They were also relieved that the surviving Paladins of the various sects had been badly injured and could be easily killed. That way, there would be no one to share the prize.
“Empyrean Jayceon, something’s wrong!” one of the elders suddenly said. “Look at the reaction of those men!” Jayceon was baffled by the elder’s words. “Reaction?”
Upon closer examination, Jayceon noticed something strange among the crowd. Everyone, including Cheriette, was exceptionally calm.
“Are they scared out of their wits? Aren’t they scared of dying?”
Jayceon was taken by surprise.
Under normal circumstances, these men would have dropped to their knees and begged for mercy. Yet, they’re not only calm, but they’re even giving me a look of contempt as if… I’m the fool?
“Hmm? Isn’t that the mundane world slave Astre Lune Sect just bought?”
Jayceon’s gaze quickly fell upon Levi. He realized that the latter was the only one at the scene who was unharmed.
How can a slave from the mundane world be unscathed when the warriors of the other sects suffered so much death and injury? This doesn’t make sense at all! Is there something I’m missing out here?
The situation confounded him.
“Empyrean Jayceon, t-these men look like they’re from Eclipse Academy!”
“Look like? They are the warriors from Eclipse Academy. I’ve seen the men by the stone wall before. They’re all prominent figures of the academy.”
“Who had the gall to kill the members of Eclipse Academy?”
“More importantly, who actually has the power to do so?”
The members of the Septistar Order had a nasty shock. After all, Eclipse, the sect behind Eclipse Academy, was one of the most powerful sects there was.
In fact, sects like Astre Lune Sect and the Septistar Order could only look at them with admiration.
Cheriette couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the shock and confusion on the Septistar Order members’ faces.
“What are you laughing at? Do you want me to punish you on the spot?” Jayceon snarled.
Unfazed by the death threat, Cheriette didn’t hold back her contempt by laughing even louder.
Soon, the remaining members of the other sects joined in.
From their perspective, the Septistar Order led by Jayceon was nothing but a joke.
Despite that, no one bothered to tell them the truth, for they knew that if the Septistar Order had any intention of killing, Levi would definitely annihilate them.
At that moment, Levi was staring at the dragon ley line curiously and it was obvious to everyone else that he wanted it for himself.
That would inevitably result in a conflict with the Septistar Order since they, too, coveted the same ley line.
Everyone was waiting for the Septistar Order to make a fool of themselves.
Chapter 3815 Massacre Of The Septistar Order
Although Jayceon didn’t know the reason for them laughing at the face of death, he could smell something fishy going on. When something doesn’t make sense, there has to be a reason for it. “Empyrean Jayceon, what should we do next?”
“Now that the elites of Eclipse Academy have been killed, neither the academy nor Eclipse will rest until this matter is resolved.” “If they were to suspect that we did it, wouldn’t it be a disaster for us?”
The elders of the Septistar Order were brimming with concern. Despite their desperation to get their hands on the dragon ley line, they had no intention of offending the powerful Eclipse.
Considering the gulf in power, they reckoned that a few members of Eclipse were all that was needed to wipe out the Septistar Order. Jayceon fell into deep thought, his face grim.
Upon coming to a decision, he declared in a solemn tone, “There’s nothing to be afraid of, as we had nothing to do with the deaths of the men from Eclipse Academy. Even if someone suspects us, we will just blame this lot for what happened. As long as we shut them up permanently, no one will be the wiser. Even if Eclipse tries to hold us accountable, we will be able to distance ourselves safely from the matter.”
The elders of the Septistar Order couldn’t agree more with Jayceon’s words. “Not only that, if we killed all these men, we might be able to get Eclipse to owe us a debt of gratitude,” Jayceon continued. “What a brilliant idea!”
Everyone from the Septistar Order agreed with the plan. Not only can we blame someone else for what we’ve done, but we can also earn the gratitude of others. This scheme is perfect!
“Other than Cheriette, leave no one else alive!” After a brief hesitation, Jayceon pointed at Levi. “Especially him. Don’t ever let a scum like him appear in my sight again.”
Throughout the entire episode, Levi was a sea of calm as if the Septistar Order was nothing to him, causing Jayceon to perceive Levi’s attitude as a challenge to his authority.
“Show him no mercy!”
The rage within him continued to swell.
“Understood!”
With that, an elder from the Septistar Order disappeared from his place.
He drew his sword and aimed it at Levi’s throat.
“Who do you think you are?”
With a slight curl of his lips, Levi hurled a punch at the elder.
Other than a faint scream that echoed in everyone’s ear, the elder had disappeared without a trace.
“What’s going on?”
“The elder is gone with a single punch?”
“How is that possible?”
Gasping in shock, the Septistar Order members scanned the surroundings but failed to spot any residual signs of the elder.
He’s really dead!
He’s been killed with a single punch by this guy!
Jayceon’s eyes widened in shock, as he, too, couldn’t believe the scene before his eyes.
Even though the elder isn’t the strongest one in the sect, he’s still one of the most formidable warriors we have. Yet, he couldn’t even withstand a single strike from this slave.
“Let’s attack together! We have to avenge the elder!” Jayceon roared.
Upon brandishing their weapons, the other elders began to surround Levi.
“You guys are so much weaker than the bunch from Eclipse Academy. And you actually think you can kill me? In your dreams.”
Levi shot forward, like an arrow released from a bow, and began his attack on the Septistar Order.
Instead of fancy moves, he simply delivered a few straight punches and hooks.
Cries of agony reverberated among the ranks of the Septistar Order.
Weaving through them in a flash, Levi would take a single life with every move he made.
All it took was a few minutes to have Jayceon end up as the sole survivor of the Septistar Order.
The blood mist in the air gradually dissipated in the wind, and so did Jayceon’s haughtiness and audacity.
Chapter 3816 It Is A Waste To Train This Way
He was the one who killed the members of Eclipse Academy. No wonder Cheriette and the others could still laugh calmly in the face of death. All of them were simply waiting for me to make a fool of myself.
His previous doubts had all been clarified. Despite the epiphany, it was already too late for him. “It’s your turn now.”
Levi’s cold voice rang out. Overwhelmed by fear, Jayceon felt the urge to flee into the woods. “If you dare lay a finger on Empyrean Jayceon, the Septistar Order will never forgive you.”
At that crucial moment, a voice belonging to an elder came from the forest. Ecstatic to hear that voice, Jayceon cried out, “Jeremiah, save me!”
A moment later, a group of men emerged from the forest, and leading them was an old man with white hair. “No one can save you today!”
With that, Levi threw a punch at Jayceon. “B*stard, how dare you!”
The old man appeared between both of them in a flash before intercepting Levi’s punch with his palm. The instant they made contact, an explosive shockwave was released.
Jeremiah, the deputy leader of the Septistar Order, felt a massive surge of energy strike his body, sending him flying back.
On the other hand, Levi’s speed and the shockwave of his punch did not diminish one bit as it swallowed Jayceon within it.
Pfft! A mist of blood sprayed in every direction. Jayceon didn’t even manage to scream before his death. “Insolent fool, you must have a death wish!” Jeremiah roared.
It never crossed his mind that his powerful attack would fail to stop Levi. “You’re the ones with a death wish!”
Instead of wasting any more time, Levi barged into the Septistar Order’s reinforcements camp. What happened next was nothing but a massacre, for none of them was Levi’s match.
A few minutes later, everyone, including Jeremiah, was sent to meet their maker. “His strength is ridiculous!”
Cheriette and the others were blown away. In the face of so many enemies, Levi had wiped them all out with brute strength. His skills were on an entirely different level.
“If none of you want the dragon ley line, I’ll help myself first,” Levi said with a cheeky smile. One by one, the crowd shook their heads to express their disinterest.
Obviously, that wasn’t what they truly felt. They simply prioritized their lives over their desire. Letting out a chuckle, Levi walked straight to the dragon ley line.
“This ley line is amazing. In essence, its scale is the equivalent of the largest dragon ley line discovered earlier in the secret zone.”
Without any hesitation, Levi used his basic technique to metamorphose with the dragon ley line. Cheriette’s shock intensified when she saw what he was doing.
“Warriors from Kenfort absorb energy directly from the spiritual ley line, but he actually undergoes metamorphosis with it?”
“Even for pure physique training, no one cultivates this way. What a waste of a treasure!”
“No wonder the fighter from Eclipse Academy failed to pierce his body with the sword. He possesses an impregnable body.”
The crowd was amazed, but they soon noticed something out of the ordinary.
Under normal circumstances, when a dragon ley line was being drawn upon by cultivators, a strong energy tremor would follow.
In fact, one would hear the groan of a dragon which, with the passage of time, would sound increasingly jarring.
The reason was that the cultivators were drawing upon the vigor gestated by the dragon ley line.
Yet unexpectedly, there were no signs of resistance from this dragon ley line. It felt like an obedient pet in Levi’s hands.
All that could be heard was a gentle groan of a dragon, while the energy disturbance was barely noticeable.
If the crowd didn’t happen to be there watching, no one would have noticed that the dragon ley line was being drawn upon.
“We should use this opportunity to recover our strength!” Cheriette instructed.
With that, the crowd began to use the residual spiritual energy in the surroundings to cultivate.
By doing so, they swiftly recovered from the injuries they had suffered in the earlier battle.
Chapter 3817 All Who Went Died
As Levi had absorbed ten dragon ley lines not long ago, he was rather quick to metamorphose with the dragon ley line.
At this rate, I’ll use up the essence of the dragon ley line in a day at most, Levi estimated in his mind as a wave of delight washed over him.
When he thought about the combat prowess of Eclipse Academy, he became even more confident in his chances of winning against Void Sect.
The others said that Void Sect is afraid of Eclipse Academy, so I believe they won’t be more powerful than Eclipse Academy. Anyway, let me use up the spiritual energy of this dragon ley line before I think of anything else. Gloria, Santino, I’ll let you off to live for a few days more.
After pushing aside those thoughts, Levi quickly channeled the basic techniques.
The power of the dragon ley line surged into Levi’s body in the blink of an eye and continuously improved his physique and internal system.
Meanwhile, the members of Void Sect had gloomily retreated to the outermost ring of the dragon ley line.
Nevertheless, they were still fortunate enough to have dug up plenty of magical herbs. That was the only consolation they could have.
After all, the dragon ley line was a massive one that had been taking in the spiritual energy around it for many years. In return, it had also transformed the herbs around it into magical herbs.
However, Gloria was still upset about failing to get the dragon ley line.
According to Heptino, the dragon ley line was far larger and purer in its spiritual energy than the one she was gifted with.
At the end of the day, it’s because my support isn’t powerful enough. Void Sect is but a baby when faced with the ultimate sects, Gloria grumbled inwardly.
“Astre Lune Sect has entered the center of the dragon ley line.”
“The Septistar Order has also entered the area.”
“A few small sects and alliances have entered again.”
As more and more news came in, the people became more and more confused.
“The combined power of Astre Lune Sect and the Septistar Order is on par with Void Sect’s power. There’s no way they’d make Eclipse Academy their enemy,” Primo said.
Those who were afraid of Eclipse Academy thought that Void Sect was still eyeing the dragon ley line, so their spies did not dare to get too close to the dragon ley line.
As such, they had no idea what was happening in the central area of the dragon ley line.
“Eclipse Academy’s elites have already taken over the dragon ley line. It’s impossible that the Septistar Order and Astre Lune Sect would have the courage to make them their enemy. But they’ve been holding a grudge against each other for a long time. If a fight were to break out, both sides would end up with tremendous losses,” an elder speculated.
Heptino muttered, “Why aren’t the members of the other sects returning after entering the place? Even we have to stay away from mighty sects like Eclipse Academy. Those small-scaled sects will surely know not to take the risk.”
“It’s easy to figure out what happened,” Primo started. “The people in Eclipse Academy have always been arrogant. In fact, they’re even more conceited than Eclipse itself. Maybe the people in Eclipse Academy had killed everyone who tried to snatch the dragon ley line from them.”
Everyone agreed with Primo’s words, for that was a likely scenario. After all, they could still recall clearly how pompous the members of Eclipse Academy had been.
“Well, they’re unlucky to have crossed the wrong people, then.”
“That’s right. It’s just a pity about Eclipse Sect. If another force were involved in this instead, we would have intervened.”
“I mean, didn’t the Septistar Order end up getting annihilated as well?”
“Eclipse Academy is too aggressive. I can’t believe they’ve wiped out so many groups. Aren’t they afraid of crossing others?”
Truth be told, some of the Void Sect members were glad that their people had retreated swiftly enough. Otherwise, they might have been obliterated as well.
“Stop the chit-chat and waste no time looking for the magical herbs. There is a wealth of good stuff here,” Primo said, changing the topic.
The members of Eclipse Academy had embarrassed him thoroughly, so the mention of them only made him feel even more resentful.
After a whole day of searching, the Void Sect members received a bountiful harvest.
Chapter 3818 The Dragon Ley Line Is Gone
The sight of the magical herbs in the people’s arms made Primo smile. “At least we’re not returning from our trip to Tragora Mountain empty-handed,” Primo commented.
The elders and Empyreans of Void Sect verbally agreed with him. Even though they had failed to obtain the dragon ley line they desperately wanted, the magical herbs they had collected were rare.
Those herbs would be of great help in upgrading the consumer’s power regardless of whether the consumer absorbed the spiritual energy directly or take pills created with the herbs.
Right then, soft sounds of footsteps came from the deeper parts of the forest. “Be careful,” Primo warned in a low voice. The members of Void Sect immediately became on guard, instinctively assuming that members of other sects were coming to rob them of their magical herbs.
A moment later, a team of dozens of people appeared in their line of sight. They were all wearing black robes with an eclipse pattern embroidered on the front. The man leading them was a graying old man.
The eclipse patterns by their chests were all gold in color, but unlike them, the old man’s eclipse had nine colors. “The vice-chancellor of Eclipse Academy, Yunus Lohse.”
Primo recognized the old man right away, and he could barely conceal the shock and confusion he felt. “Mr. Lohse,” Primo quickly greeted with a deep bow.
Yunus drew his brows together. “Do you know me?”
“Mr. Lohse, you’ve once gone to Quilton for recruitment, and I was fortunate enough to have met you there back then.” After that, Primo quickly added, “I’m Primo of Void Sect. I’ve been hoping to join Eclipse Academy, but alas, I never had the opportunity to do so.”
“I see. So you’re Primo of Void Sect.” Yunus nodded. “Are you here in search of the dragon ley line too?”
“Yes!” Primo dared not hide anything from the old man. “But, of course, I wouldn’t dare to compete with the elites of Eclipse Academy now that you’re here.”
The others promptly chimed in to express their agreement with Primo’s words, fearing that the members of Eclipse Academy would see them as their enemies and wipe them out with just a snap of their fingers.
A look of pleasant surprise crossed Yunus’ face, and he queried, “Does that mean you’ve met the people of Eclipse Academy?”
“Indeed. It was yesterday. They’ve found the dragon ley line. Congratulations, Mr. Lohse,” Primo replied.
“Yesterday?” A bad feeling rose in Yunus’ chest. “We lost contact with them yesterday. Quick, bring me to the dragon ley line now.”
“Yes, Sir!” Primo did not dare to reject the old man’s request, and he quickly led the way. “Many members of various sects entered the day before, but they never reemerged. I’m guessing that they’ve been killed by the elites of Eclipse Academy, so why would you lose contact with them?”
Then, Primo informed Yunus of all the information they had gotten from their spies. The more Yunus listened, the stronger the ominous feeling in his heart.
“We lost contact a day ago, and that’s why the academy sent me here to look into the matter,” Yunus told him. The members of Void Sect were stunned by his answer.
Without wasting any more breath on talking, they quickened their pace. Half an hour later, Primo arrived at the dragon ley line with Yunus.
However, when they reached the place, they were greeted by a sight that stupefied them. It was as if the area had turned into hell, for torn-off limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere.
As a matter of fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the blood had formed rivers.
The metallic scent of blood in the air was thick. Although the people had been in battles themselves, they inhaled sharply upon registering the scene.
“I think they’re over there!” Heptino suddenly cried out.
Yunus looked in the direction Heptino pointed and saw the bodies of the Eclipse Academy members.
The black-robed leader who had been smashed into the wall still had his eyes open, the fear and the unwillingness to accept his fate lingering in them.
“Why is the dragon ley line’s power so weak?” Primo muttered as he gulped.
His words shifted the people’s attention to the dragon ley line, and they discovered that, indeed, there was nothing left in the dragon ley line.
Chapter 3819 Depleting A Dragon Ley Line
Everyone at the scene was shocked to see a myriad of bodies across the ground and an exhausted dragon ley line. “What happened?”
None of them understood what was going on. After all, the people of Eclipse Academy were extremely powerful. Moreover, they had Eclipse, the strongest sect in Kenfort, as their backer. The crowd could not imagine anyone strong enough to be their match, let alone mess with such a terrifying sect.
Little did they know Levi had left with the survivors of Astre Lune Sect and the rest right after he used up the dragon ley line to metamorphose.
Furthermore, they left through the back of the dragon ley line. That was why they were not discovered by Void Sect’s informer. “What’s going on? Explain this!” Yunus interrogated coldly.
His voice made everyone shudder, their hearts thumping wildly.
“We don’t know either, Mr. Lohse.”
“Exactly. We left as soon as the fighters of Eclipse Academy announced they’ve conquered the dragon ley line.”
“Judging by the fighters’ capabilities, there’s no way any of the sects present were their match.”
“That’s right. No one dared to mess with us when we owned the dragon ley line back then. What more when Eclipse Academy had announced the news?”
The members of Void Sect hurriedly voiced all the explanations they could think of to avoid being misunderstood as the culprit. Otherwise, their entire sect would be done for.
Primo uttered grimly, “Mr. Lohse, our men saw a few sects enter as well, but they never came out again. At that time, we thought they were overestimating themselves for wanting to snatch the dragon ley line, but most of them were killed by the elites of Eclipse Academy.”
As they spoke, Yunus carefully observed every member of Void Sect and sensed they were telling the truth.
He knew their capabilities well. It was impossible for the members of Void Sect to have killed them all.
“You guys confirm which sect these bodies belong to,” Yunus ordered. He then shifted his gaze to Primo. “I want you to recall carefully how many sects entered the dragon ley line. I want them to be investigated one by one.”
“Understood!” Primo responded respectfully.
After checking around, they found that the powerful sects involved were revealed to be Astre Lune Sect, Mystic Zeal Sect, Sagesky Sect, and the Septistar Order.
As for the other insignificant and unheard-of sects, Yunus completely ignored them.
“These sects are pretty much on par with Void Sect. I doubt they’d dare to attack the fighters of Eclipse Academy. Besides, their members are no match for Eclipse Academy’s fighters. Hmm… This doesn’t make sense at all,” Primo murmured to himself.
That analysis crossed Yunus’ mind as well. After all, he knew the capabilities of most sects.
If Eclipse Academy were to take in students, they usually wouldn’t choose those from mid-sized sects.
Yunus was befuddled. Who on earth did this? Could there be a fighter in disguise?
The thought was dismissed as soon as it appeared in Yunus’ mind. He figured there was no need for that person to be so secretive when he had a terrifying capability like that.
Besides, that person even used up such a big dragon ley line in a day. He’s got to be incredibly powerful to do that. I bet even those old-timers from Eclipse, who haven’t been out in the world for ages, can’t even do that.
That realization shocked Yunus to the core. After all, every cultivator’s body had a certain limit no matter how strong they were.
Moreover, it was obvious how much power a dragon ley line of that scale possessed.
Even the leaders of those top sects would explode and die if they absorbed so much energy in such a short amount of time.

Similarly, Gloria was also shocked by the amazing absorption ability. She thought she was the fastest among the crowd in devouring spiritual energy since she cultivated the extreme devouring technique.
In fact, there was absolutely no one in Void Sect who could fight against her—not even Geraint. Nonetheless, it would take her at least a month to devour all the energy from such a massive dragon ley line.
Even if she took the risk of reaching her limit, it would still take her twenty days to devour all of it.
Using up all that energy in just a day? That’s crazy. Kenfort is truly populated with elites. The fact that there’s still such a ridiculously powerful fighter out there is unbelievable. This person must be a top mighty being of Kenfort. His devouring rate is dozens of times faster than the extreme devouring technique.
Gloria sighed deeply as she realized she was still not powerful enough. Only a person who can reach such a terrifying cultivation level can be considered the best in Kenfort, right?
Gloria’s eyes burned with desire, and she was beginning to look down on Void Sect.
I bet a fighter like that can turn a sect like Void Sect into ashes with just a flick of his finger. Even the members of Eclipse Academy will be afraid of him. If I can somehow get into this person’s good graces, I’ll be able to do whatever I want in Kenfort.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt. She could not wait to get on that person’s good side. At the same time, the members of Eclipse Academy were stupefied.
They could not believe the dragon ley line had been depleting in such a short amount of time.
The sect that this person belongs to is probably far more powerful than Eclipse Academy. None of us can afford to mess with him even if we have Eclipse as our backer.
Such thoughts flooded everyone’s mind. Looking grim, Yunus finally spoke after a long silence. “There should be survivors from these sects. We need to find them and get to the bottom of this matter.”
According to Void Sect’s informant, the number of people that entered the dragon ley line exceeded the number of bodies at the scene.
That meant there were some survivors. As long as they were found, Yunus and his men would have leads on the powerful fighter.
Meanwhile, after devouring all the energy from the dragon ley line, Levi rushed toward the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect with Cheriette and the others.
Of course, Cheriette was the one who had invited him along.
Levi did not refuse because he was looking for a place to stay for the time being. As for his plan to get revenge on Void Sect, it would be happening soon.
On the way, they met a few elders who had come to help.
Upon finding out Eclipse Academy had conquered the dragon ley line, the elders gave up on the idea of going over. After all, they could not afford to offend the former.
Cheriette, on the other hand, spared them the details of the earlier events since she did not know what Levi had in mind.
“Empyrean Cheriette, didn’t you go there with the elites? Why are you so severely injured?” asked Tomas, the third elder of Astre Lune Sect.
“We were attacked by the Septistar Order when we were looking for the dragon ley line. Their army was destroyed, and we got severely injured in the process,” Cheriette answered absent-mindedly.
“I see,” the leader of the elders, Camdyn Serrano, responded, then fixed his gaze on Levi. “How are you still in the mood to buy a slave when the members are severely injured?”
“Mr. Serrano, a piece of trash that comes from the mundane world like him is meant to be bought and sold off by us.”
“You there. Do you have any tricks you can perform? Why don’t you perform something to liven up the atmosphere?”
The other elders started mocking Levi.
Cheriette was so terrified that she kept throwing them looks. She was worried that Levi would be infuriated.
