Ch. 3841..3850
Chapter 3841 A Stressed Out Gloria
Gloria immediately thought of the mysterious Dark Demon. She heard that the members of small sects who had been annihilated were sucked dry of their powers and blood essence.
Floyd was the first person who came to her mind, especially since she had heard nothing back from the elites she had arranged to monitor Bluesky Sect.
Gloria reckoned it was very plausible that something untoward had happened to them.
This also made her more certain of her own surmise. After all, she was the one who guided Floyd on the path of cultivating the extreme devouring technique.
From the pace he’s devouring the powers and blood essence of others, it’s apparent that he’s looking to elevate his cultivation levels in the shortest time possible. Is he trying to seek revenge on me?
Gloria sensed danger at that thought.
Even though her joint cultivation practice with Primo and the consumption of dragon ley line had elevated her level of cultivation, Gloria knew for a fact that Floyd had taken a more extreme measure in elevating his cultivation, and he could surpass her in no time.
As long as Floyd still roamed free, he would pose a serious threat to her. Hence, she wanted to nip the problem in the bud as soon as possible.
After discussing strategies of defense with Primo and the others, Gloria sent Wade and Xylas to track Floyd down, emphasizing that they were authorized to kill the man on the spot.
Meanwhile, Levi and Cheriette rushed to the headquarters of Bluesky Sect without stopping.
When they arrived, they realized that the place was already in ruins.
There were rubbles everywhere and unburied bodies strewn across the floor. There were only a handful of survivors, and all had sustained injuries of varying degrees.
“Is this the Dark Demon’s doing as well?”
Astounded by the gruesome scene before her, Cheriette sucked in a breath.
Levi did not answer her. However, the desiccated bodies were enough to highlight the problem at hand.
He looked around, and soon he spotted the young master of Bluesky Sect, Hansel Xanadu.
Levi approached the man and asked in a low voice, “Hansel, where’s Floyd? What happened here?”
Hansel was stumped. Levi had disguised himself, and he could not recognize Levi at first glance.
However, Levi did not change his voice to match his appearance. Hesitantly, Hansel asked, “You’re… L-Levi Garrison? Mr. Garrison?”
“Yes,” Levi said curtly. “What happened here?”
A startled look fleeted across Hansel’s face. Having learned of Levi’s intimidating physical prowess, he wasted no time divulging the truth.
“Mr. Garrison, Floyd turned erratic after returning from Gloria’s wedding. Not long after that, he started to devour others’ powers like a madman. Anyone who was capable of fighting in Bluesky Sect was killed by him. However, he seemed to have shown us mercy, as he didn’t exterminate all of us here. Otherwise, we would not have had a single survivor left.”
Hansel was on the brink of a breakdown as he recounted the tragedy that befell his sect. There was an unmistakable terror in his voice.
“Other smaller sects are not as lucky. To my understanding, a dozen other smaller sects have been butchered. Their cultivation resources have been devoured as well. Floyd is a demon now,” Hansel added.
The furrow in Levi’s brows deepened as he asked in a low voice, “So many sects were attacked. Why haven’t they thought about working together to fight him?”
“They did, but the man is too strong. Even with all the powers combined, it would still be like throwing an egg against a rock.” Hansel let out a sigh. “If he continues to devour powers at this rate, I’m afraid that even wiping out medium-sized sects will be a piece of cake for him. Mr. Garrison, Floyd is your disciple. You cannot sit idly by and do nothing as he wreaks havoc!”
Hansel’s face was filled with despair. He was truly traumatized after having witnessed Floyd’s viciousness.
He was afraid that Floyd would return to wipe out Bluesky Sect any time.
Likewise, Cheriette was horrified. She finally understood the reason Levi had come to the headquarters of Bluesky Sect first. It looks like he already has an idea of who the Dark Demon might be.
Levi’s surmise had proven to be spot on so far—Dark Demon was indeed Floyd.
“I will deal with it,” Levi replied solemnly.
Chapter 3842 Divine Seeds
Levi knew that Gloria was Floyd’s Achilles’ heel. Floyd’s love for her had morphed into resentment when she had betrayed him.
To some extent, this would make Floyd take more extreme measures to level up his cultivation so that he could take revenge against Gloria.
Adding on top of the fact that Kenfort was abundant in resources vital for cultivation, the rapid pace at which Floyd leveled up might have contributed to his psychological changes as well.
As such, it was not surprising that he became the Dark Demon.
In contrast, Gloria dared not take such an extreme approach. After all, she was among the high-rank officials of multiple medium-sized sects, and there was no need for her to be hasty in pursuit of her own interests.
“Lord Garrison, what do you plan to do?” Cheriette asked carefully.
Levi did not reply to her. He was overcome with a myriad of different thoughts. To put it bluntly, he did not have an immediate solution as well.
Even though Levi did not wish to see Floyd get carried away with his demonic cultivation, he knew that he could never interfere with Floyd’s decision.
However, if Floyd were to offend some major powers along the way, his life might be at risk, and that was something that Levi did not wish to see.
After all, Floyd was still his disciple, and he felt he had the responsibility to deal with his disciple as he saw fit.
At least pertaining to the matter, Floyd was only looking to avenge himself although his methods were too extreme.
Then again, Levi could not help but think that the life or death of the various forces in Kenfort had nothing to do with him.
“Ask those who are familiar with the forest to lead me to track down Floyd first,” Levi ordered in a low voice.
He had decided that he would protect his disciple first. At the same time, he would try to bring Floyd back from his wayward path.
Floyd is one of my most prized disciples. It is unfortunate that he has chosen to walk on such a dark path.
Meanwhile, everything was as normal in the mundane world.
The members of the base continued to metamorphose with the super-spiritual ley line that was discovered by Digital God, and they managed to level up their combat prowess.
At the same time, the Holy Guardians and the fighters of the Holy Temple had been keeping watchful eyes on recent developments. However, they did not act rashly in fear of Levi’s prowess.
Out of the twelve Holy Guardians who fought the two battles, five had perished while three suffered heavy injuries. It was sufficient to say that the top fighting forces of the Holy Guardians had taken a major blow.
Lucky for them, the Divine Servants who were guarding the Divine Seeds were back to support them.
With the support of the elites from the Holy Temple, they could still keep the peace.
“All twelve Divine Seeds have been found. What we lack now are dragon ley lines. Damn that Levi Garrison! He’s holding onto over a dozen dragon ley lines in the secret zone,” Rukas cursed.
He had finally recovered after taking a long rest, and he was enraged about the current situation.
As a matter of fact, the other surviving Holy Guardians were infuriated as well, especially Peneleo, who had suffered a humiliating defeat at the previous battle.
Streaks of lightning sizzled in the palm of his hand as he got more agitated by the second.
“If the over a dozen dragon ley lines could be utilized by Divine Seeds, they could at least awaken five Orunthians. With that, we will have no reason to fear Levi Garrison, as he will be reduced to ashes with a flick of a finger!” Peneleo huffed.
Other than the vital dragon ley lines, the Holy Guardians had everything they needed.
However, right then, Peneleo received an urgent message from his subordinate.
“Sir, our men at Zyus Holy Temple have discovered a dragon ley line in Rodunst. Moreover, it is on par with even the best dragon ley line in the secret zone.”
Thrilled by the good news, Peneleo shot up from his seat and exclaimed, “That’s great! Even God is on my side!”
Peneleo grinned from ear to ear before turning to look at Rukas. “Let’s go and take a look. Looks like we finally have a fighting chance!”
Rukas was equally thrilled, as the discovery was right on time.
The two of them led hundreds of Holy Temple elites to the location where the dragon ley line was.
They kept their words to themselves on the way. When they saw the strong spiritual energy present at the dragon ley line, they were over the moon.
“There is finally hope for Orunthian to grace us all with His presence. Levi Garrison, your final days are here!” Peneleo said insidiously.
Chapter 3843 Staying Alive
Levi ordered the apprentices from Bluesky Sect, who were familiar with the surroundings, to lead the way to track Floyd down.
They searched the stone forest that was deep within the woods. However, they could not locate Floyd.
After that, they went to a couple of places that Floyd frequented. However, the man was still nowhere to be found.
Floyd was a shrewd man. He had left the stone forest that very same night when he was escaping from Levi. Not only that, but he also anticipated that Levi would start to investigate those close to Gloria. After all, those people had all practiced the extreme devouring technique.
Floyd knew that his action of devouring many people’s powers at Yannopolis would surely grab Levi’s attention. He did not wish to let Levi see his disheveled state.
When he was on the run, Floyd had heard the news about Eclipse Academy as well.
The vice-chancellor, Yunus Lohse, and over a dozen of other elites at the academy had been killed. This had incited an uproar from the public, and even Eclipse had sent out a number of Paladins to investigate the matter.
The council members had even given out a stern order to track down the culprit behind the massacre and bring them back to the Eclipse headquarters so that the person would suffer retribution for his horrendous act.
Eclipse Academy is the face of Eclipse, and Yunus and the others have died in vain. This culprit is essentially slapping Eclipse across their faces. It is no wonder that they’re reacting in such a way.
The culprit could really be Master. The woman from Astre Lune Sect who is following him around, Empyrean Cheriette, and Astre Lune Sect tried to snatch the dragon ley line as well. Cheriette is one of the few who have survived.
Floyd had heard speculation of an elite fighter being the culprit behind the massacre of the members of Eclipse Academy, and he had paid no heed to it. However, after he pieced all the puzzles together, only Levi came to his mind.
He knew Levi well. The fact that Levi had dared to enter Kenfort was a surefire sign that he had attained insurmountable power.
Moreover, Levi was the only person who could eradicate so many elites from Eclipse Academy without causing a ruckus.
I cannot let Master see me like this, at least not before I seek revenge on Gloria.
After making up his mind, Floyd scurried deep into the woods.
He decided he would not devour anyone’s powers for the time being.
There was an abundance of spiritual energy in the deep woods. Even though the rate at which he could use them was comparatively much slower, it was a much safer choice.
Meanwhile, Levi’s attempts at tracking down Floyd had been unsuccessful despite having searched him for days.
“We can’t find him even with so many people on board. I believe he must have found a safe place and hidden there. We can stop looking for him and head over to the headquarters of Void Sect now,” Levi said.
As a matter of fact, Levi was more at ease that he did not find Floyd.
It meant that Floyd had given up on trying to level up his cultivation for the time being and was hiding from Levi.
Judging by the way Floyd had reacted when Levi hunted him down, Levi reckoned that Floyd’s capabilities were already on a whole other league altogether. Floyd might not be able to triumph over an elite fighter, but he would be more than capable of leaving unscathed from the fight if he was ever involved in one.
“Sure, Lord Garrison,” Cheriett said.
“Mr. Garrison, what about us?” Hansel choked out.
Bluesky Sect had suffered such a catastrophic defeat that even smaller sects nearby had been keeping a watchful eye so that they could seize the chance to eradicate Bluesky Sect for good.
Levi went silent for a moment before saying, “All of you should head to the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect. I will let Quirina know that you will seek sanctuary there. But keep in mind to heed the arrangements made. Otherwise, no one else will be able to save you guys.”
“All right. Thank you, Mr. Garrison. We will definitely follow all arrangements there,” Hansel said.
Hansel was unsure why Levi was so generous. Then again, he didn’t ask questions since staying alive was more important than anything else.
Chapter 3844 Taken A Liking To Your Slave
Quirina dared not defy Levi’s order. Thereafter, Cheriette led Levi to the headquarters of Void Sect. Even though the two of them were not slow, they still had a long way to go before they could get there.
After a few days, the two of them arrived in the suburb of a medium-sized city. However, they bumped right into the Paladins of both Eclipse Academy and Eclipse. It was apparent to them both that the Paladins were frantically searching for someone.
Cheriette recognized them and hurriedly said, “Lord Garrison, they’re the Paladins from Eclipse Academy. The only female Paladin in the group has a much higher status than Yunus. Let’s go into hiding for the time being!”
Cheriette was so nervous that her voice was quivering. It was apparent that she was terrified. Eclipse was a formidable name to many, and any Paladin could easily crush a sect like Astre Lune Sect.
“What are you afraid of? They can come at us if they have a death wish,” Levi said nonchalantly.
Cheriette’s lips twitched as she realized that she had just witnessed another side of Levi that she had never seen before.
Not only did the Paladins enjoy an undisputable reputation, but they were also highly accomplished in their cultivation.
Besides, Eclipse was so strong that not even the combined powers of large-size sects could faze them.
However, all those facts did not seem to intimidate Levi in any way.
Meanwhile, the Paladins of Eclipse and Eclipse Academy had gathered there to hunt down a supposed elite fighter who would be there.
“Ms. Gould, look! That’s Cheriette from Astre Lune Sect. I heard them saying that the last place Mr. Lohse went to before he disappeared was the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect. If we seize Cheriette and question her, we may be able to find out something,” someone from the academy said.
He was there to welcome the Paladins from Eclipse.
In a cold voice, Larissa ordered, “Seize these two people.”
Soon, they surrounded Levi and Cheriette.
Cheriette was so nervous that all colors drained from her face.
Even though Levi was a powerful man, the people surrounding them were Paladins from Eclipse, and they were much more terrifying than Yunus. If Levi was defeated by them, Cheriette knew that there was no way she could make it out alive.
“Cheriette, you’d better tell us where Mr. Lohse is. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being vicious,” an elite from Eclipse Academy said coldly.
With the Paladins of Eclipse backing them up, the other elites became fearless as they provoked Cheriette.
“Wait a minute. This woman is quite easy on the eyes. Spare her and let her serve me in bed later tonight,” a Paladin said wickedly.
“As always, you get all the good stuff! I should have come to these suburbs more often. Even though the resources for cultivation are lacking here, I can make do with bringing back a few beauties along the way to warm my bed!”
“You’re right! We should come here more often after Yunus is found!” another Paladin quipped.
The Paladins were full of themselves and disregarded both Cheriette and Levi.
Cheriette trembled when she heard the Paladins.
She had long heard that Paladins could be both good and evil, so she knew she would suffer a fate worse than death if she were enslaved by them.
Just when everyone was focused on Cheriette, Larissa was observing Levi intently from the side. Judging by the way he was dressed, she was certain that he had just come from the mundane world.
She was genuinely surprised that a newbie like Levi could stay calm and composed in the face of the elites surrounding him despite the fact that he had just entered Kenfort.
“You’re Cheriette Morell, correct? I have taken a liking to your slave here. I’m going to take him with me. I believe there is no objection here, yes?” Larissa asked icily.
Chapter 3845 I Do Not Mind Killing All Of You
Everyone fell silent as soon as Larissa spoke. They directed their gazes to Levi but found nothing special about him no matter how hard they looked.
“This guy is ordinary in terms of looks and cultivation level. What is it about him that caught our little princess’ attention?”
“I never thought that’s her type. I guess it’s my fault for being too handsome. That’s why our little princess doesn’t favor me.”
“Larissa, are you in your right mind? You should just kill this ordinary-looking trash. He’ll only become more worthless if you keep him as your slave.”
“That’s right, Ms. Larissa. You can pick a slave from the best cities if that’s what you want. Surely anyone will be better than him.”
The people tried convincing her to change her mind, for they disliked Levi.
Even so, they were not being pretentious. Larissa was a distinguished and pretty woman, and she was gifted in cultivating. That was why she was favored and regarded with high importance by the two leaders of Eclipse.
In fact, she was one of the sect’s high-ranking members and a potential future sect leader who was treated like a precious princess by the male cultivators of Eclipse.
Of course, there were quite a number of Paladins from the sect who had attempted to pursue her. Unfortunately, she was a picky person and rejected all of them.
At that moment, no one expected her to request for the reprobate of the mundane world who had just arrived in Kenfort to be her slave. It was simply unbelievable.
Even those Paladins from smaller sects were desperate to become her slave.
The crowd could not understand what was so great about Levi that made Larissa find favor in him.
“What are you guys doing? I just find him interesting. I’m going to kill him once I’m bored with him,” Larissa snapped impatiently.
All the Paladins of Eclipse fell silent. They were fine with it as long as she did not find favor in him, or they would be utterly humiliated.
Cheriette opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she could not make a single sound.
She was incredibly afraid and nervous.
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
Suddenly, the spirit beasts standing beside the Paladins of Eclipse howled as if to back their owners up.
Still, Levi looked as cool as a cucumber as he stared back at the crowd. To be more specific, he was staring at the spirit beasts.
He realized the spirit beasts varied in form and differed drastically from the animals in the mundane world. For example, one beast that looked like a horse had two long horns on its head and a third eye between them, looking rather majestic and sharp.
“Are you guys done talking? If so, please get lost. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing all of you,” uttered Levi suddenly.
Huh?
The crowd froze. They did not expect Levi to scold them instead of begging for his life to be spared.
The audacity!
“Hey, you! Reprobate from the mundane world! Do you know what you just said?” one of the Paladins questioned furiously.
Levi shrugged, throwing the question back at him. “Are you deaf, or are you too stupid to understand what I said?”
What the f*ck?
The Paladin’s rage spiked. I’m greatly respected by many large-sized sects. How dare this useless reprobate from the mundane world scold me? This is too much!
“How dare you!” The young Paladin unsheathed his sword and aimed for Levi’s heart.
The sword gleamed coldly with his energy as he moved like a flash of lightning. He looked as though he could split the air.
“Spare his life!” Larissa reminded hurriedly.
From her point of view, the Paladin’s move could kill Levi under normal circumstances.
Despite promising to do so, the Paladin disagreed with her words deep down.
After all, death was the only option the Paladin had for Levi for humiliating him.
Chapter 3846 Reunite In Hell
“Cyril’s mad. That rascal is dead meat.” “Look at him. He must be scared senseless.”
“I wonder what Cheriette will do. Hehehe!” The Paladins’ voices were thick with contempt. To them, Levi was no different from a corpse at that moment. “How dare you speak so boldly when that’s all you’re capable of? You’re overestimating yourself.”
Cyril Fugler thought his sword had scared Levi senseless when he saw the latter stand unmoving. Immediately, the corners of his lips lifted into a grin.
However, the grin on his face stiffened in the next second. That was because Cyril realized Levi had expertly caught the blade between his two fingers.
On top of that, the intense energy around the blade had vanished.
“H-How is this possible?”
Cyril could not believe his eyes, for he was expecting Levi to be in a bloody state.
“Let go of my weapon!” Cyril roared, releasing a powerful burst of energy onto the sword in an attempt to make Levi let go.
“Don’t you find yourself a little too arrogant?” Levi, too, released a burst of energy, causing the two waves of energy to collide.
His energy was so powerful that it devoured Cyril’s.
The sight made Cyril’s jaw drop. Before he could do anything, he felt his arm turning numb, and his sword slipped out of his hand uncontrollably, shattering into a million pieces by the powerful energy.
“You can have it all since you want it back so much.”
The moment Levi’s icy voice rang out, the shattered pieces of the sword flew toward Cyril.
Alas, the two of them were too close that Cyril got stabbed by the pieces before he could even react. The energy in the sword pieces had so much power that they pierced through Cyril’s body, leaving many holes in it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Blood spattered everywhere while Cyril was hurled backward from the impact, and he died when he was still in the air.
Thump!
A deafening silence filled the air as Cyril’s body crashed heavily onto the ground.
The Paladins of Eclipse and Eclipse Academy forgot to breathe. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect Levi, whom they call a reprobate of the mundane world, to kill Cyril with just one move.
Cyril was, after all, one of the top five warriors in their team in terms of capabilities. In fact, he was stronger than some elders and absolutely capable of making it into the list of the top ten Paladins of Eclipse.
Even so, he could not make a single move in Levi’s presence.
Who on earth is this guy? Does the mundane world have such terrifying fighters already?
Countless questions popped into the minds of the Paladins.
“Aren’t you guys going to avenge your comrade?”
Levi’s voice rang out again.
He was blatantly provoking them.
Immediately, the Paladins’ blood boiled. They felt as if their dignity was being challenged, especially when they were looked down upon in front of the members of Eclipse Academy.
“Kill him!” Larissa ordered coldly.
She had wanted to keep Levi as a slave for entertainment. But now that he had killed Cyril, she had to kill Levi to make it easier to explain the situation to the others. If not, she would lose her position in Eclipse.
“We’ll get the job done!”
“Don’t worry, Larissa. I’ll definitely destroy him.”
“Don’t underestimate him. This guy is quite capable.”
All the Paladins of Eclipse rushed forward and surrounded Levi.
Although they were shocked by Cyril’s death, some of them believed Cyril had died because he had underestimated his opponent.
“Very well. I shall let you guys reunite in hell.”
When he finished speaking, Levi vanished from his spot.
Chapter 3847 Execute The Paladins
“Insolence!” “Let’s attack him!” “Let’s tear him apart!” Levi’s provocation had successfully angered the Paladins. When they launched their attacks, Levi did not seem to be afraid. Instead, he only beckoned them to come over in a provocative manner.
Those Paladins had extremely high cultivation levels. In fact, two of them were as powerful as Yunus. Nonetheless, they were too weak for Levi.
“How on earth did you guys become Paladins of the sect? Looks like Eclipse is running out of successors.” Levi moved about like a floating spirit, but he made no fancy moves and only released a burst of horrifying energy.
“Argh!” Agonizing screams echoed throughout the area. Two Paladins failed to dodge in time and received a punch from Levi in the chest that penetrated their bodies.
Disbelief was written all over their faces. Right then, they felt their vitality slipping away, and they soon died.
In just three minutes, dozens of Paladins from Eclipse had been killed by Levi.
A dreadful silence filled the air again.
Cheriette gulped nervously. Although she already knew how powerful Levi was, she could not help but gape at him in shock after witnessing the scene.
His combat prowess is off the charts!
Larissa was the most shocked of them all because she knew her comrades’ powers. With dozens of them combined, they could easily wipe out a medium-sized sect.
Even the fighters of large-sized sects would flee at the sight of them.
Yet, Levi had killed them all effortlessly.
Is this an illusion?
Suddenly, Larissa had the urge to confirm whether what she had seen was real.
As for the other Paladins, they were scared out of their wits and were trembling with fear.
If the fighters of Eclipse were powerless against Levi, then the rest would have zero chance against him. They were like mere insects compared to him.
At that moment, the members of Eclipse Academy thought of fleeing the scene.
It was their first time feeling as if they were close to death.
“You guys should join them!”
Before he finished speaking, Levi attacked again.
Seeing that, the members turned around to run away. They had no intention of staying back to fight.
Alas, Levi would not let them get away.
Ear-piercing screams rang out wherever Levi attacked.
He looked like the Grim Reaper who was swinging his scythe, killing every member he spotted.
In just the blink of an eye, Larissa was the only one left among the two powerful teams of dozens of people.
“It’s your turn now,” Levi said with a smile.
Larissa shuddered, unable to hide the fear on her face.
Although Larissa saw herself as someone talented and had always looked down on her peers, she could not help but feel the urge to worship him.
After all, all living things worshipped the strong, and that included humans.
On top of that, the strong were greatly respected in Kenfort. Thus, the idea of worshipping the strong was a common situation there.
“W-What do you want?” Larissa asked, her voice quivering.
She had completely given up on escaping after watching Levi eliminate all her comrades.
Larissa was filled with anxiety. Earlier, she had arrogantly claimed to take in Levi as her slave, but now, the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
Am I going to be killed? Am I going to be tortured? Or is he going to torture me before taking my life?
She did not want to face any of that.
“If you spare my life, I promise to give you all of Eclipse’s cultivation materials. Of course, you can tell me what you want if that’s not enough. I’ll do my best to satisfy your needs as long as it’s within my power,” Larissa said, clutching at straws.
Chapter 3848 Maidservant
Levi’s silence only made Larissa more nervous. However, she did not dare to urge him in case he got angry and decided to kill her. After several seconds of silence, Levi said with a smile, “From today onward, you shall serve as my maidservant.” Maidservant?
Larissa’s lips twitched. She felt a sense of humiliation she had never felt before. After all, she was a highly respected person in Eclipse. Yet now, she had ended up in that state.
Just as Larissa was racking her brains for a solution, Levi’s frosty voice sounded again. “Looks like you’ve chosen death. That’s quite brave of you. Very well. I shall grant you your wish.”
When she turned to look over, she saw Levi releasing a powerful energy with his hand and rapidly condensing it into a partially tangible sword.
His murderous intent was almost palpable that it made Larissa feel out of breath.
“Fine. I agree!” she choked out.
Finally, she chose to live with no hesitation in the face of death and losing her dignity.
Like what my mentor always says—where there’s life, there’s hope. I’m just obeying his words.
Larissa kept convincing herself in her mind.
“That’s more like it. A wise person should always adapt to the situation.” Levi withdrew his energy, causing the pressure in the air to dissipate in an instant.
Seeing that, Larissa heaved a sigh of relief.
Levi continued, “You’d better not pull any tricks later. Otherwise, don’t blame me for using vicious methods. I’ve already killed so many Paladins of Eclipse anyway. Killing you won’t be a big deal.”
“I-I understand.” Larissa looked utterly defeated.
Truth was, she had wanted to look for a chance to flee or ambush him earlier. However, those thoughts vanished from her mind as soon as she heard his words.
The fact that Levi had announced that showed he had a plan.
In fact, he seemed extremely confident and totally unbothered by her actions.
Whoosh!
Levi appeared next to Larissa in a flash and tapped some of her acupoints.
Immediately, Larissa felt the energy in her body slowing down.
“You sealed my power?”
Hopelessness flooded Larissa’s heart. There was absolutely no way of escaping now.
Levi grinned. “Now I’m more at ease. Oh, right! You must be hungry after such a long day.”
He’s concerned about my stomach? Larissa was confused, but she still nodded honestly.
She and her men had rushed over without stopping anywhere as soon as they heard about an elite appearing in the area. It had been a while since she last had a proper meal.
“What about you?” Levi turned to ask Cheriette.
Cheriette shuddered slightly, finally snapping out of it.
“Yes, I’m starving too.”
A smile instantly appeared on Levi’s face.
For some reason, the smile gave Larissa a bad feeling.
Pointing at the spirit animals in the distance, he said, “I’m hungry too. These mounts will be wasted if they’re not used. Let’s roast that horse-looking one, grill the deer, steam that ape, and turn that leopard into soup. That should be enough food for us.”
Larissa almost cursed out loud. What the heck? These are precious spirit beasts! They would’ve fought in the fight if we had not encountered such a powerful elite like Levi. And now he’s turning them into dishes?
“Hey, servant girl, please get them prepared,” Levi instructed mischievously.
Chapter 3849 Turned Into Food
It’s one thing to turn the spirit beast into food, but why am I tasked to prepare them? This is really cruel and just too much! Larissa was depressed to have to endure the unendurable.
With that, she swiftly ended the spirit beasts’ lives underneath their pitiful and pleading gazes. Thereafter, they were roasted, steamed, grilled, and even made into a fragrant soup.
“The texture of the meat is really good. I think it will taste even better with a touch more marinade and a longer grilling time. Also, it would be nice to have some side dishes to go with it,” Levi commented while eating.
With the corner of her lips twitching, Cheriette threw Larissa a sympathetic glance. Nonetheless, the latter looked listless and pale, as if she had turned into a statue.
At that moment, Larissa swore that it was the most tormenting meal she had ever sat through.
Despite being on the brink of tears, she was too terrified to let them flow.
Half an hour later, Levi clapped his hands and declared, “I’m done. What a delicious meal! Both of you should have more and not let it go to waste.”
Ugh!
As darkness filled her vision, Larissa fainted in anger.
However, Levi couldn’t care less as he ordered Cheriette, “Wake her up, and we’ll be on our way.”
“Understood!”
Cheriette, cowed into silence, did as she was told.
Looking out at the horizon, Levi murmured, “Void Sect, I’m coming for you.”
Meanwhile, news of the Paladins being killed and Larissa’s disappearance sent a shockwave through Eclipse.
“Ms. Larissa is the two sect leader’s favorite student. So, who has the gall to kidnap her?”
“This is really terrible. Isn’t this the equivalent of declaring war on Eclipse?”
“Having said that, shouldn’t the Paladins who escorted Larissa out have no problems annihilating a medium sect?”
“Exactly. This is a demonstration of the perpetrator’s terrifying power. Could it have been done by someone from a super-secret sect?”
“Whoever it is, Eclipse will definitely not rest until the matter is resolved.”
Members of Eclipse debated amongst themselves.
Just as expected, the two sect leaders of Eclipse were indeed outraged.
They deployed everyone and issued an immediate order for Larissa to be found, dead or alive.
Obviously, members of Eclipse Academy and those from vassal sects participated in the search.
In the words of the deputy sect leader, “Any challenge to Eclipse’s authority will not be tolerated.”
Back at Void Sect, it was peaceful as always. Its sect members went about their daily business, oblivious to the impending danger.
In the midst of it, Gloria was leisurely enjoying a cup of tea.
After recent efforts, her subordinates’ power had increased rapidly while she continued to solidify her position in the sect.
Moreover, the more exposure she gained within Kenfort, the greater her sense of superiority was.
A large dragon ley line had been sucked dry by a powerful warrior while the elites of Eclipse Academy were massacred en-masse.
In addition, a smorgasbord of strange and powerful techniques was wielded by the various large sects.
All those were experiences that were unimaginable in the mundane world.
“Levi, the gulf between us is just getting wider. At this rate, defeating you no longer gives me any sense of satisfaction. I have unfortunately lost any interest in doing so.”
Thinking back to the time when she was training in secret in the mundane world, she recalled that Levi felt like an insurmountable mountain to her.
The power he displayed back then would undeniably fill anyone with despair.
With the benefit of hindsight, Gloria now realized that it was she who had seen too little of the world.
Ever since she arrived in Kenfort, she realized any leader of a medium sect could put Levi to shame, let alone the mysterious warrior who decimated Yunus and Eclipse Academy.

“If Levi sees this, he would definitely pee his pants,” Gloria sneered. The more she thought about it, the smugger she felt. In fact, she was relieved that she had managed to leverage her relationship with the Void Sect to enter Kenfort.
“Any single herb found in Kenfort would qualify as a treasure listed in the ancient manuals of the mundane world. As for the dragon ley lines, they’re a rarity that the mundane world hasn’t even heard of before. Now, I can finally look down upon those from there.”
All of a sudden, Gloria’s invincibility triggered a sense of loneliness within her. “At the end of the day, we’re just two people from very different worlds. Levi, if we ever see each other again, you will be groveling at my feet, begging for mercy.”
Amidst a diabolical laugh, Gloria had set her sights on more challenging goals, such as the mysterious warrior who had annihilated Eclipse’s elites. Only he was a target she considered worthy of her pursuit.
“Now, Levi is nothing but an insect who poses no threat at all,” Gloria remarked with a smile.
Meanwhile, Primo had been in a good mood over the last few days.
He had made significant progress in his joint cultivation with Gloria, elevating his strength to a level above where he was before their marriage.
Now, he was confident of easily defeating the black-robed leader of Eclipse Academy who had fought at the recent battle for the dragon ley line.
With the results of the joint cultivation greatly exceeding his expectations, Primo was ecstatic over the fact.
Nonetheless, it wasn’t lost upon him that Gloria played a key role in the achievement, a fact that deepened his affection for her.
The situation naturally caused many of his concubines to be disgruntled, but none of them dared to cause Gloria any trouble.
At the same time, Santino ended his repentance period early due to Primo pleading for mercy on his behalf.
“Santino, haven’t I always told you that lust is part of human nature? Why must you insist on training in Stoneheart Swordsmanship when the progress you make is so slow?” Primo remarked haughtily.
Smiling wryly, Santino agreed, “Primo, I see your point, but it’s just too late for regrets now.”
A gloating grin broke out across Primo’s face.
Even though he was cognizant that Santino was just being respectful, he still derived a sense of achievement from getting the proud Santino to bow down.
“Primo, if we run into Levi, are you confident in taking him on?”
Heptino changed the topic right away. Deep down, he harbored great resentment for Primo on account of Gloria.
Thus, Primo’s smug expression simply rubbed him the wrong way.
Thrusting his chin in the air, Primo burst into hearty laughter. “Don’t worry. As of now, someone like Levi is no longer worthy of my attention.”
“Heptino, Levi has only defeated five leaders of small sects, and this doesn’t take into account the help he obtained from the other members of the main base. As of now, Primo can easily destroy him with just one hand, as the gap separating the two men is just too great,” Santino interjected with a smile.
Primo expressed his agreement. “Santino is right. The mundane world doesn’t even have holy ley lines, let alone dragon ley lines. Therefore, regardless of how talented Levi is, his skill will be capped by his limited access to cultivation resources. If he doesn’t turn up, we’ll just forget about him. But if he foolishly chooses to do so, I’ll make sure he’s turned into dust. Thus, there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
Ever since his strength was elevated by the joint cultivation, Primo’s confidence in defeating Levi was further solidified.
“To be honest, I’m more worried about the mysterious warrior than Levi now, especially since we are somehow connected to Eclipse Academy,” Santino voiced his concerns.
Nevertheless, Primo—with a wave of his hand—replied, “The warrior might be terrifyingly powerful, but he had better not step on the toes of the Void Sect.”
“Why do you say that?” Heptino probed.
Primo retorted haughtily, “Have you forgotten about the sect leader’s background?”
Struck by an epiphany, Heptino suddenly remembered that the sect leader was from an extremely powerful family and was someone powerful enough to wipe out Eclipse on his own.
