Ch. 3871..3880
Chapter 3871 Divine Bones
“Mr. Garrison, let me explain to you in detail.” Then, Sylvan proceeded to explain how Prime Association’s protection worked. As it turned out, Prime Association had an agency focusing on physical protection called Prime Company.
Prime Company had countless elite fighters, and even the lousiest ones there were as powerful as the elders in major sects. The stamp that Levi had could be used to hire the protection services of a Prime Company fighter.
The classification of Prime Association stamps was strict. The colors of the stamp lining—black, purple, gold, silver, bronze, and steel—dictated the class of the stamps, with black being the highest and steel being the lowest.
The golden linings of Levi’s stamp meant that he held a mid-class stamp. The higher the class of the stamp, the more power the stamp wielder had in Prime Association, and the more benefits they would receive.
If one had a black or purple stamp, they could receive the protection of dozens to hundreds of Prime Company’s fighters. It was an unimaginable number.
Anyone who was protected in that way would be able to lord over everyone in Kenfort.
At the same time, they would be prioritized in terms of getting the best resources. After all, they would be providing the best kind of deal as well.
“Mr. Webber, how does one get one of these high-class stamps?” Levi asked.
If he could get his hand on either the black or the purple stamp, he would be able to have a powerful ally by his side.
Relying on his own combat prowess was not enough for him to truly make a name for himself in Kenfort.
That was why Levi had overpowered Astre Lune Sect to take over the sect previously.
Still, relying on a mid-level sect like Astre Lune Sect in Kenfort was not a long-term plan.
Furthermore, he had crossed Eclipse, a major sect. Having a mid-level sect would not be good enough anymore.
With a smile, Sylvan said, “When the value of the items traded with Prime Association reaches a certain amount or when you contribute enough to Prime Association, you’ll get those stamps. Another way is to become a powerful figure in Kenfort, for they will also receive a higher-class stamp. For example, the premium ultimate weapons you had earlier are a major deal because Prime Association will want all of the ultimate weapons you have in hand.”
“I see,” Levi muttered.
In other words, Sylvan was telling him to trade more often with Prime Association.
Tentatively, Sylvan asked, “Mr. Garrison, are you agreeing to that?”
“Of course, Prime Association will be the first place I come to if I have more ultimate weapons,” Levi affirmed.
Sylvan lifted his brows in delight and said, “I’m glad to hear that. I look forward to trading with you, Mr. Garrison.”
“By the way, Mr. Webber, are there any large dragon ley lines in Lightspring Prime Association’s area?” Levi queried.
Large dragon ley lines were one of the requirements to forge an ultimate weapon.
Only by having a dragon ley line that was as good as the one he had gotten at Tragora Mountain could Levi forge an ultimate weapon to his expectations.
“Mr. Garrison, my sincerest apologies. There are only small dragon ley lines within Lightspring. I’m afraid those will not be what you want. If you want me to, I can ask the other branches of Prime Association. However, if there is one around, you will have to travel far for it. I’m sure you know that, despite Prime Association’s many branches, large dragon ley lines tend to be taken by the top sects. Branches that do own a large dragon ley line would be situated far away,” Sylvan said in an apologetic tone.
Levi was a little disappointed, but he soon recollected himself.
After all, getting a dragon ley line was not too big of an issue. At most, he would just rob one of the major sects of their dragon ley line.
There was no need for him to head to the remote branches for the ley line—that was simply too time-wasting.
“What about Divine Bones? Can you tell me more about them, Mr. Webber?” Levi inquired.
Chapter 3872 The Valley
Sylvan immediately answered, “No problem. You should be able to find Divine Bones in Dragon’s Grave Valley. But you have to think through this carefully, Mr. Garrison! Dragon’s Grave Valley is far more dangerous than one can imagine. A slight mistake, and you’ll die!
Many fighters have gone to Dragon’s Grave Valley to look for Divine Bones and other kinds of magical herbs, but they never returned. Prime Association has lost many of its fighters in this way too. We’ve thought of storing Divine Bones for better trades, but the numerous people we sent to Dragon’s Grave Valley were all turned into ashes by Dragon’s Grave Valley’s Heavenly Thunder.”
“Why does Dragon’s Grave Valley have Heavenly Thunder?” Levi wondered out loud.
Sylvan explained, “Although Dragon’s Grave Valley is named a valley, there is a deep pool within it, and countless spirit beasts and krakens live there. Every few months, Heavenly Thunder would appear in abundance. The krakens will take the opportunity to use Heavenly Thunder for their metamorphosis to become true dragons.
However, the Heavenly Thunder in Dragon’s Grave Valley isn’t like the ones elsewhere. It’s almost as if it’s a punishment, and normal cultivators can’t withstand it at all. Even some of the top fighters dare not continue their way when the Heavenly Thunder strikes. The Divine Bones you talk about are crystals created by the bones of the krakens that failed to survive the Heavenly Thunder. Of course, the krakens aren’t the only ones.
Some high-level spirit beasts will also use Heavenly Thunder to metamorphose. Those that fail will be crystallized by the Heavenly Thunder into Divine Bones. In fact, the bones of some people—fighters—are Divine Bones as well.
That includes pure physical cultivators, of course. These kinds of Divine Bones are exceptionally tough and are the best materials for the forging of an ultimate weapon. To put it simply, they’re the best among the best.”
Levi raised his brows in realization. So there’s this much to learn about Dragon’s Grave Valley. I never knew that I could learn that much about Divine Bones too.
Although Dragon’s Grave Valley was a perilous place, Levi had to obtain Divine Bones if he wanted to create an unparalleled weapon.
Therefore, the trip to Dragon’s Grave Valley was a necessary one. Levi had always been a perfectionist, and that was also the case when it came to forging weapons.
“Thank you for answering my questions, Mr. Webber. Farewell,” Levi sincerely told Sylvan.
Sylvan waved his hand dismissively and responded, “You’re being too courteous, Mr. Garrison. What about this? Let me get someone to guide you there. That way, you’ll have an easier time getting to Dragon’s Grave Valley. I hope you won’t reject me on this, Mr. Garrison.”
“Thank you!”
Levi smiled.
He did not want to waste much of his time finding his way to Dragon’s Grave Valley. It would be best if someone familiar with the place could lead him there.
Meanwhile, there was a reason Sylvan had offered him a guide.
Anyone who took a look at the materials Levi had requested and the weapons he had traded in would realize that Levi was an excellent blacksmith.
Of course, another possibility was that Levi had a brilliant blacksmith backing him up. Otherwise, he would not be able to trade in a fantastic ultimate weapon like that.
Regardless of which was the truth, Levi was someone Sylvan had to keep alive, for he was useful.
Frankly, Levi knew what was going on in Sylvan’s mind. It was just that he made no move to expose those thoughts of his.
Moreover, building a relationship with Prime Association would benefit him as well.
He could let Prime Association’s people settle many things during his journey to Dragon’s Grave Valley.
That way, he would be able to avoid unnecessary troubles.
“In that case, Mr. Webber, until next time.”
“Until next time.”
Once everything was settled, Levi rose to his feet and bade Sylvan farewell.
After Levi and the others were gone, several people in charge of Prime Association stepped out.
“Mr. Webber, must we spare so many resources to establish a relationship with this person? Is it worth it?”
“He’s right, Mr. Webber. This guy even said he was going to snatch Prime Association’s resources at that time. Won’t members of other sects laugh at us if they see him leave this place safe and sound? This is going to hurt our reputation!”
Chapter 3873 The Value Of A Top Class Blacksmith
A few of the high-ranking members of Prime Association expressed their doubts and displeasure. Sylvan’s face instantly fell as he spoke in a glacial tone. “What do you guys know? He’s no ordinary person.”
The high-ranking members of Prime Association were at once dumbfounded, disbelief written all over their faces. They knew how high Sylvan’s standards were, as not even the elite fighters from the other large sects were worthy of his attention.
Even when it came to the Paladins of popular sects, Sylvan would only label their capability as “average” at most.
Thus, his comment about Levi being “no ordinary person” was especially baffling and surprising. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Webber?”
Everyone focused their attention on Sylvan. Instead of answering their question directly, Sylvan responded with a rhetorical question, “Do you all still remember the fight for the dragon ley line that happened some time ago? And how the elites of Eclipse Sect and Eclipse Academy were murdered?”
“Of course we’ve heard about it. The members of Eclipse even came to ask us about their Princess of Divinity.” “But what do these two incidents have to do with Levi?”
“Yeah. It’s completely unrelated.” Their faces were filled with puzzlement as they had no idea why Sylvan would suddenly bring those two matters up.
Sylvan’s lips curved to form a faint smile as he explained, “Though they think they did a good job disguising her, I still managed to recognize her at first glance. One of the ladies following alongside Levi is none other than Larissa, Eclipse’s missing Princess of Divinity. Therefore, I infer that Levi is the Fearless Robber himself. He might even be behind the fight for the dragon ley line.”
The person in charge of the transaction pressed on for answers, “Are you sure that’s Larissa?”
“Yes, I’m positive.” Sylvan continued after a momentary pause, “When you guys were preparing to hem Levi in, Larissa activated the top technique of Eclipse, the Eclipse Sword Technique. Such a technique wasn’t mastered by anyone except for the direct disciples of Eclipse’s two sect leaders. Though the two sect leaders have plenty of direct disciples, Larissa is their only female disciple. So, I’m sure it’s her.”
Once again, the high-ranking members of Prime Association gaped in shock, and their eyes were as wide as saucers.
“Mr. Webber, this is a crucial lead. We’d be able to gain much profit if we sell this information to the two sect leaders of Eclipse,” said one of the members.
“I agree. Plus, Eclipse would owe us one.”
“Larissa is their favorite student. This is indeed a wise plan.”
“As expected from you, Mr. Webber. I now understand your true intention when you sent someone to show Levi and the others the way.”
The members of the alliance wore eager facial expressions and couldn’t wait to inform Eclipse’s two sect leaders about their newfound fact.
Sylvan slapped the table and bellowed angrily, “What a bunch of short-sighted fools!”
Everyone present fell silent upon sensing their leader’s wrath, for it had been a long time since Sylvan was this furious.
However, they genuinely couldn’t fathom why Sylvan was unwilling to make such a great deal with Eclipse as that would only bring them benefits.
“All you see is what we’ll get from Eclipse. Can’t you tell how valuable Levi is? These few are premium ultimate weapons, and not even some prominent sects’ treasures could compare to these. Having said that, Levi used these weapons to exchange for top-quality raw materials like star metal, spark gold, and dragon stone. He even inquired about the whereabouts of Divine Bones. Do you have any idea what his intentions are?”
Sylvan increased his volume to the extent that he was almost shrieking in fury. One could tell how angry he was at that moment.
The high-ranking members of the alliance were no fools, and they instantly understood the underlying meaning of their chairman’s words.
Levi was most probably a skillful blacksmith himself or was intricately related to one.
Chapter 3874 Evil Plan
In the context of that, the benefits of building a good relationship with a top blacksmith would be long-lasting. After all, the quality and standard of weapons were extremely important to every single sect in Kenfort.
In fact, some of the sects were only one ultimate weapon away from propelling their sect to greater heights. That was exactly the case with Void Sect. In terms of both the quality of their elite warriors and the dragon ley line resources they possessed, they were of the standard of a prominent sect.
The only thing they lacked was an ultimate weapon, which would be of great help to them. According to hearsay, they had recently gotten their hands on God Crusher, and they were about to rise in the ranks.
Though there was still quite a gap in terms of power between them and the other eminent sects, they had long surpassed the other average-ranked sects.
“Moreover, you won’t necessarily be able to defeat Levi. He’s obviously concealing his power, and not even I’m able to see through his efforts. Think about it. He is capable of massacring dozens of Eclipse’s elites and even capturing Larissa alive. What makes you guys think you stand a chance against him? At the very least, even if we go all out and manage to take him down, we’d definitely suffer unimaginable casualties. It’s not worth the effort,” said Sylvan solemnly.
The high-ranking members of the association gasped in fear.
If Levi was really the one behind the massacre of Eclipse’s elites, his power would be too immense to fathom. Not only would they not gain anything if they were to act rashly, but they might also end up endangering their lives.
“Also, judging by how he had no qualms about murdering so many members of Eclipse, that means apart from the terrifying power he possesses, he might have someone backing him up. Are you sure you want to cross someone as mysteriously powerful as him for such insignificant benefits?” Sylvan’s tone was icy-cold.
They all shook their heads in unison upon becoming aware of what was on Sylvan’s mind.
“Don’t worry. Just trust my judgment. We’ll gain unexpected benefits by establishing a relationship with Levi,” said Sylvan, his tone brimming with confidence.
Meanwhile, Levi noticed that some elites from Prime Association were secretly tailing them after they departed.
Looks like Sylvan is still worried that I’ll kill the person who’s leading the way.
Levi was fully aware of their presence, but he intended to ignore them. After all, Prime Association was still of great value to him.
Besides, he could cause a diversion and have the elites of Prime Association act as bodyguards if they ever ran into trouble during their journey.
As for the rest of the stalkers, they were elites from the other sects that were making deals at Prime Association previously.
Initially, they were skeptical about Levi’s ability to successfully land a deal with Prime Association since the latter didn’t even have a few hundred dragon ley line spiritual energy crystals.
Alas, reality gave them a hard slap on their faces when Levi and his people came back out, their arms laden with precious treasures.
Star metal, spark gold, and dragon stones were among what they had exchanged for. To everyone present, it was shocking and befuddling at the same time.
After all, Prime Association would never involve themselves in deals that didn’t benefit them. Only after a thorough investigation did they finally find out the details of the transaction.
It turns out they used ultimate weapons to exchange for top-quality raw materials. The weapons must be pretty impressive if even Prime Association is interested in them. Heck, it might even be a premium ultimate weapon. This guy is so generous. No wonder he’s so full of himself. It’d be a waste if we didn’t get our hands on so many goodies. As the saying goes, “it’s a crime to not share one’s wealth.”
Greed got the better of the members of different sects, and they all decided to find an opportunity to snatch Levi’s treasures.
The star metal, spark gold, and dragon stones in Levi’s possession were already tempting enough, let alone the ultimate weapons.
Verily, they didn’t think of Levi as a threat, and they only thought of him as a good-for-nothing who only had rich resources. Thus, they assumed it would be an easy feat for them to snatch those top-quality raw materials from him.
Just like that, the elites of multiple sects tailed Levi and the gang all the way out of Lightspring before finding an ideal secluded location to ambush them and rob their goods.
Chapter 3875 Show Some Mercy
Numerous members of different sects were chatting happily in a relaxed manner while waiting in a forest somewhere.
“That Garrison guy and his group will surely pass by this forest. If they’re wise enough to not fight back, we’ll show some mercy and at least allow their corpses to be intact.”
“Let me deal with those two women. It’s a great chance for me to test the ‘cultivation methods’ that I’ve recently mastered. Haha!”
“Let us all work together. They have a lot of raw materials with them, and it’s enough to be divided among us.”
“You’re right. Let’s give our all and get things over with as soon as possible.”
Although they didn’t think of Levi and his gang as threats, the last thing they wanted was to get into a pointless internal fight that would result in others taking advantage of the situation.
To them, Levi was a vulnerable prey that had shown up on their doorstep, waiting to be slaughtered.
The minutes slowly ticked by while they lay in wait, and soon after, the informants that were keeping watch outside sent them a message telling them that Levi and his group had entered the forest.
Sure enough, Levi and company emerged after around half an hour, and at the sight of that, the elites of multiple sects were instantly excited.
“Hey, Garrison, hand over the resources you have in hand, and I’ll be so kind as to show you some mercy.”
“Don’t even think of resisting because it’s pointless! You’re no match for us, so don’t humiliate yourself.”
“Hey, beauties. I’ll let you live if you’re willing to spend a wonderful night with me!”
The leaders of numerous sects spoke one after another, their tones taunting.
Cheriette’s expression was grim as she could tell that any one of these sect members was just as strong as the elders of Astre Lune Sect.
From a rough estimate, there seem to be more than a hundred fighters here, and if they were to come at us all at once, it might be difficult for Levi to deal with them.
Larissa, on the contrary, was rather excited. This is the perfect opportunity for me to escape! These people’s combined strength is so much stronger than that of my previous team. Two of them are even exuding a dynamic wave of aura that’s as strong as the aura of Eclipse’s deputy sect leader. Please don’t let me down!
Deep down, Larissa was rooting for the sect members that were standing in their way.
“Mr. Garrison, w-what should we do?”
The guide sent by Prime Association was so flustered that his voice was quivering in fear.
Though his cultivation level wasn’t low, he was well aware there was no way he’d survive the combined attack of so many elites.
Smiling ear to ear, Levi said, “Don’t worry. Let me handle it.”
The corners of the guide’s lips twitched. This guy’s too full of himself! Look at the dire situation we’re in! How can he still be this calm?
“Lord Garrison, if you can’t handle it, we should—”
Before Cheriette could finish her sentence, Levi interrupted her by saying, “These weaklings aren’t a problem for me. The two of you can just stand aside and watch. I’ll deal with them alone.”
“Is this guy crazy?”
“He’s so unbelievably arrogant!”
“What a fool. He’s delusional to say he’ll deal with us alone.”
The elites burst into thunderous laughter as they eyed Levi as if he was an idiot.
Levi smiled as he uttered, “I’ll spare your lives if you’re willing to hand over the magical herbs you have in hand.”
“Hey, Garrison, did you not take your medicine—”
One of the medium-sized sect leaders stopped short before he could finish talking when he sensed an incredibly strong aura of death coming right at him.
“Shut it!”
A cold voice rang out behind him.
The leader could feel a forceful gust of wind hurtling toward him, but it was too late for him to dodge the attack.
Crack!
He didn’t even get to make a sound before his head exploded like a bursting watermelon. Subsequently, his headless body collapsed to the ground with a loud thump.
“You talk too much, and it’s annoying. Too bad, as I could’ve shown you some mercy,” said Levi, putting on a look of pity.
He then turned to face the others, questioning icily, “So, what do you guys say?”
Chapter 3876 Reverse Robbery
Gasps and murmurs filled the forest when the leader of an average sect was instantly killed right in front of everyone’s eyes. The sudden outburst of such a horrifying power shocked them to the core.
“I can’t believe he’s that strong!” “No wonder he has the guts to talk big in front of Prime Association’s members. He has some skills up his sleeve!”
“Why are you guys so afraid? Mr. Kemp was taken down because he got careless and underestimated his opponent, not to mention Garrison’s surprise attack.” “Yeah! Why should we be afraid of him when there are so many of us?”
“Let’s do this together and send him straight to hell!” These people were, after all, the core elites of average and above sects who had experienced countless turbulences and undergone ferocious battles.
Thus, they were able to swiftly regain their composure after a brief moment of panicking and immediately unleash a murderous aura.
“What a bunch of stubborn insolents!”
Levi scoffed before he disappeared from their line of sight yet again.
“Watch out behind you!”
Someone warned amidst the chaos before the deputy leader of an average sect was struck by Levi from behind.
Bam!
The deputy leader was sent flying by the powerful impact of Levi’s palm strike.
Spurt!
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man lost his life before his body could even land on the ground.
“Next!” Levi’s voice rang out again.
Though his tone was as calm and bland as ever, it was as if death itself was beckoning them over, sending chills down their spines.
Levi’s speed was so fast that none of the elites could discern the trajectory of his movement.
“Ahh!”
Screams of agony would echo everywhere Levi’s figure streaked past.
Every single one of his punches and strikes was like a slash from a lethal blade, taking the fighters’ lives before they even had the chance to hide or dodge.
More than thirty people died tragically in a matter of thirty seconds.
Although Levi didn’t wield any weapons, his hands were as deadly as the Grim Reaper’s scythe, mercilessly reaping the lives of the elites.
Gulp!
The survivors of the attack retreated far into the distance, their eyes filled with horror when they looked at Levi.
“Guys, stop holding back! Show all your trump cards, or we’re all going to die!” reminded one of the leaders, raising his voice. Nonetheless, everyone could clearly hear the tremble in his voice.
“You guys just don’t know when to stop, huh? Fine. If that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish.”
Levi charged into the crowd like a wolf lunging at a flock of sheep, violently ending the lives of the fighters.
Trepidation spread like wildfire among them, robbing them of their previous morale.
“Quick! Run for your lives! We’re not going to make it if we don’t hurry!”
One of the fighters was the first to admit defeat.
With that, the remaining spark of hope within the fighters diminished for good, and they no longer had any lingering battle spirit.
“It’s too late to think of escaping now!”
Levi continued massacring the fighters with his overwhelming strength, not intending to give them a chance to recompose themselves.
The guide from Prime Association, who was watching from the side, was shocked to the core. He didn’t expect Levi to possess such mind-blowing skills.
Not only was he completely unscathed even after going against more than a hundred elite fighters from distinguished sects, but he was also at an advantage while slaughtering them, dealing one fatal blow after another.
He’s too strong! It’s a good thing that the fighters of Prime Association didn’t pick a fight with Levi, or the association would just disappear off the face of Lightspring.
The guide couldn’t help shuddering in fear as that thought surfaced in his mind.
Even Larissa and Cheriette, who had witnessed Levi’s power beforehand, were utterly dumbfounded, let alone the guide.
The scariest part of this whole ordeal was that Levi seemed to still be holding back. It was hard to imagine just where the limit of his combat prowess was.
“Hand over all your magical herbs, or I’ll kill all of you!” Levi’s frosty voice reverberated through the area.
Chapter 3877 Fear
“Mr. Garrison, I’m willing to forgo all the magical herbs I have on hand. Please show some mercy and spare my life!” “I’m willing to hand over everything I have as well so that I can live and be at your beck and call, Mr. Garrison!”
“Same here!” Plop! Several surviving fighters dropped to their knees, begging for mercy. Levi scoffed and spoke. “You guys should’ve started with this. What’s the point of sacrificing so many lives?”
He then turned to the guide and Cheriette, ordering them, “The lot of you, go ahead and take the magical herbs from them. Take every single one and make sure not to leave anything for them.”
Not daring to defy Levi’s order, the guide from Prime Association and Cheriette promptly snatched the goods away from the surrendered fighters.
Levi beamed, pleasantly surprised to find out that the fighters had plenty of goods in their possession. They owned various types of precious medicinal herbs, top-quality raw materials, as well as tens of thousands of dragon ley line spiritual energy crystals.
What a rewarding trip to Lightspring! “I’m a kind and magnanimous person, so I’ll let you all live since you’ve turned in all your goods,” said Levi with a deep voice.
D*mn it! The survivors of the attack almost couldn’t suppress their urge to curse out loud.
Look at all these bloody corpses scattered on the ground! This place is basically hell on earth! Can you not f*cking defile the word “magnanimous?”
All of a sudden, something important dawned on the fighters after they witnessed Levi’s way of doing things.
His style was uncannily similar to the Fearless Robber, who had recently caused an uproar. They both robbed treasures and annihilated anyone who was in their way.
How did we end up offending such a demon? We’re too unlucky!
That and the sense of utter relief after being spared were the only two things the survivors could focus on.
“Let’s go!” Levi waved at Cheriette and the others before leaving the forest with them.
Only after Levi’s figure completely disappeared from sight did the survivors dare to slowly get to their feet.
They wiped the cold sweat away from their forehead, relieved to gain a new lease on life after being on the verge of doom.
After leaving the forest, Levi urged the guide to speed up and lead them to Dragon’s Grave Valley.
“Lord Garrison, are we really going to Dragon’s Grave Valley?” questioned Cheriette, her voice shaking.
She was indeed petrified as she had heard of the infamous Dragon’s Grave Valley, which was a treacherous place that took the lives of any who stepped foot in it.
According to rumors, the former leader of Astre Lune Sect had headed to Dragon’s Grave Valley in search of treasures after his cultivation had reached a state of perfection, and he never returned.
It was assumed that something tragic had befallen him.
Larissa was not at all stronger than Cheriette—she might not even be comparable to the latter in terms of strength—but as Eclipse’s Princess of Divinity, she knew more information regarding Dragon’s Grave Valley than Cheriette.
The two sect leaders had stated multiple times before that Dragon’s Grave Valley was a hazardous area that not even the entirety of Eclipse’s members banded together dared to set foot in it.
“Master, the place is indeed horrifyingly dangerous. I don’t think we should—” Larissa began, but she was cut short by Levi’s stern glare.
“What’s the matter? Are you scared?” Levi spoke smilingly. “Isn’t it a good opportunity for you to escape if something bad happens to me in the valley?”
“N-No, I wouldn’t dare think that. Why would you say that, Master? I dare not harbor such wild thoughts,” denied Larissa like her life depended on it.
After Levi’s display of terrifying power moments ago, I’d be courting death if he realizes I have ill intentions.
“Well, I hope you mean what you say,” Levi said with an indifferent sneer. “I must go to Dragon’s Grave Valley, so let’s go!”
Chapter 3878 Force
Although Dragon’s Grave Valley was a perilous place, Levi wasn’t afraid at all because he was determined to obtain Divine Bones.
Not daring to waste a single second, the guide picked up the pace.
He wouldn’t dare to disobey Levi’s order after seeing how terrifyingly strong Levi was.
After continuing their journey for about six days, they finally arrived in front of a swamp.
“Mr. Garrison, the map Prime Association provided ends here. From here onward, I no longer know the route. However, I know that if you guys keep moving forward, a primeval forest will show up after the swamp. It’s said that Dragon’s Grave Valley is deep within the forest. The most notable feature of the Dragon’s Grave Valley is the continuous Heavenly Thunder. In fact, a Super Heavenly Thunder will occur in Dragon’s Grave Valley every few months. You should be able to hear it,” the guide uttered respectfully.
Levi nodded in response. “You can go back now. We’ll go forward on our own.”
With a grateful expression, the guide said, “Thank you for your compassion, Mr. Garrison.”
Given his cultivation level, the guide knew how dangerous it would be for him to go forward. He could even die at any time.
After the guide left, Levi waved at the two ladies and said, “Stop daydreaming. Let’s go!”
At that time, Cheriette and Larissa had gone pale.
Although they were utterly terrified, they had no choice but to brace themselves to move forward alongside Levi.
Levi led the way while the ladies followed closely behind. Occasionally, they would glance around nervously.
The swamp seemed endless. Fortunately, the three of them were using their techniques as they moved. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for them to walk.
After walking for roughly a dozen miles, the trio arrived at the edge of a forest.
“Huh?” Suddenly, Levi felt something weird. It seems as though an invisible force has filled the area, and it’s slowing down my techniques. I had the same feeling when I first entered the mundane world. I should be careful.
“Indeed, this place is weird. It feels like something is making it hard for us to move.” There was a hint of distress in Cheriette’s tone. If not for Levi’s presence, she would’ve run away a long time ago.
“Lord Slabey told me that a force had been formed due to the discharge of the power of Heavenly Thunder in Dragon’s Grave Valley over the years. Naturally, an invincible force in the area will cause a sense of obstruction that makes it difficult for people to move. People with lower cultivation levels would suffer internal injuries if they were to endure it for a long period of time. That’s why so many people are afraid of going to Dragon’s Grave Valley,” Larissa explained solemnly.
Levi mulled over it for a while before saying, “The force you’re talking about is the energy that covers the area, right? When outsiders enter the area, they’ll feel obstructed. Is that what you mean?”
“That’s right!” Larissa answered quickly.
Levi smiled and said, “In that case, you guys should stay close to me. That way, neither of you will be affected.”
As he was talking, Levi quickly channeled his basic techniques.
He released a terrifying wave of energy and quickly channeled an energy shield as big as a room to shield himself and the ladies.
Cheriette and Larissa felt at ease all of a sudden, and the sense of obstruction they had felt moments prior disappeared.
Is he shielding us from the energy? Does he have an endless supply of energy in his body? Once again, Larissa gaped in shock.
As astounded as she was, she was extremely grateful to Levi. With him by her side, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.
“Let’s keep moving!” Levi waved his hand and entered the forest.
The ladies followed closely from behind. After all, the energy shield had its limit. If they were to end up outside the energy shield, they would have to use their techniques to fight the suppressing force.
Chapter 3879 Welfare Center
With Levi protecting them, Larissa and Cheriette suddenly felt relieved. At the same time, they stopped feeling as though something was suppressing the energy in their bodies.
Cheriette glanced at Levi’s slightly thin figure and felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
As the three of them continued moving forward, Levi noticed something extremely strange about the forest. Not a single beast or insect could be found here. In fact, the forest was dead silent. It was a feeling that could make a person feel anxious.
Levi tried to release a wave of energy to see if there were any living things in the vicinity, yet he found nothing.
“It’s as if this place forbids the existence of life,” Cheriette suddenly commented. Larissa felt the same way too, and she was starting to panic.
She got even more scared when she recalled all the weird things about Dragon’s Grave Valley that her two sect leaders had told her about.
The three of them walked for another twenty-odd miles. Apart from the weird-looking rocks and the vines over their heads, they found no sign of life.
“This is so weird!” Levi frowned slightly. The scale of lifelessness here is much larger than the secret realm discovered in the mundane world.
As they continued their journey, the routes in the jungle got more and more challenging to walk on. If not for their prowess, they would have been slowed down by quite a lot.
After another dozen of miles, Levi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“What is it, Lord Garrison?” Cheriette asked nervously.
In a deep voice, Levi said, “There’s an extremely powerful wave of energy gathered in the sky in the southeast direction. Have you guys sensed it?”
Cheriette shook her head in response. A few moments later, Larissa said, “The energy is horrifying. That should be the location of Dragon’s Grave Valley.”
Levi threw an approving glance at Larissa. This woman’s capability is a level above Cheriette’s.
“You could be right. The energy is terrifying and violent. Apart from the power of Heavenly Thunder, I don’t think any other power falls into this category,” Levi said emotionally.
Levi had strong sensing ability, so he could clearly tell that the energy they felt was a lot scarier that the energy a large dragon ley line held.
Apparently, the source of the energy is thunder. Didn’t Gloria use the Heavenly Thunder for her metamorphosis from the Esoteric Guild’s Thunder-Summoning Technique to increase her cultivation level? Does that mean I can try it out too? Furthermore, based on the information provided by Sylvan, Dragon’s Grave Valley’s Heavenly Thunder is more powerful. That means it’s better for my metamorphosis.
With that in mind, Levi couldn’t help but smile.
“A-Are you all right, Lord Garrison?” Cheriette asked tentatively.
We have such a huge obstacle ahead. No matter how strong he is, shouldn’t he treat the situation seriously? Why is he smiling? Is he disregarding the mightiness of Dragon’s Grave Valley?
Larissa was also just as confused. If Levi hadn’t forced me, I would’ve left this place long ago.
“I’m planning on using Dragon’s Grave Valley’s Heavenly Thunder for my metamorphosis. At the same time, I can look for Divine Bones. I’m killing two birds with one stone!” Levi’s smile grew wider because he was filled with excitement.
The ladies were dumbfounded as they watched Levi pick up his pace.
Everyone fears Dragon’s Grave Valley, but he’s treating the place as if it’s a welfare center! Cheriette was at a loss for words. In the face of the terrifying Heavenly Thunder in the Dragon’s Grave Valley, even the leaders of large sects would proceed with caution. Some of them would even avoid coming! Unless absolutely necessary, they would never step into an area prone to Heavenly Thunder. The previous leader of Astre Lune Sect was most probably killed by Heavenly Thunder. Meanwhile, Levi is planning to use Heavenly Thunder for his metamorphosis. Doesn’t he fear death?
Chapter 3880 Consequences For Your Arrogance
This fellow has balls of steel, doesn’t he? Cheriette commented inwardly. If we can feel how terrifying Heavenly Thunder is from so far away, I can’t imagine what it’s going to feel like once we get closer. Although he’s strong, does he need to take such a huge risk?
Larissa’s jaw almost dropped in shock. Levi’s blue-sky thinking rendered her speechless.
Compared to Cheriette, Larissa was even more aware of the danger Dragon’s Grave Valley posed. Even the council members of Eclipse wouldn’t dare to come here. If my memory serves me right, a few of the elite fighters from Eclipse had gone to Dragon’s Grave Valley to look for Divine Bones as well. They had even chosen to enter the area during the period when Heavenly Thunder wasn’t as active. In the end, they were still killed. They suffered such horrible deaths that they were reduced to ashes. Is Levi brave, or is he just foolish?
An inexplicably complex range of emotions glinted in Larissa’s eyes as he stared at Levi from behind. Even though Levi is a pure physical cultivator, Heavenly Thunder in Dragon’s Grave Valley is still going to disintegrate him. Despite what’s going to happen to him, that’s actually a chance for me to escape!
At that moment, Larissa began looking forward to arriving in Dragon’s Grave Valley. Judging by Levi’s personality, I think he’s someone who’s willing to risk it all even when he’s not entirely sure of something. There will be consequences for your arrogance, Levi. You’ll surely pay dearly for your actions.
Levi continued forging ahead at full tilt without knowing what those two ladies were thinking about.
Crack!
After walking for another dozen miles, the three of them suddenly heard the sound of something shattering.
Levi frowned slightly when he saw the web-like cracks spreading across the outermost layer of the energy shield.
“Did the outermost layer of the energy shield actually break? It seems like we’re getting closer to Dragon’s Grave Valley,” Levi uttered in a deep voice.
Fortunately for them, Levi’s energy shield was thick enough.
Still, the shattering of the outermost layer showed how powerful the energy in the area was.
Seeing that, Cheriette and Larissa both grew anxious. If Levi hadn’t deployed so many layers of energy shield, we would have had so much trouble moving around!
“Look! The sky here looks different.” There was a hint of panic in Cheriette’s voice.
Levi glanced in the direction Cheriette was pointing and noticed that the area he had just entered had dark clouds in the sky.
The feeling was so uncomfortable that it was as if they could touch the dark clouds by simply raising their hands in the air.
The sky in the previous area was clear. The obvious difference made them feel as though they had just entered another world.
Rumble!
Above the dark clouds, deafening thunderclaps could be heard from time to time.
A while ago, they could barely hear the thunderclaps. In the blink of an eye, however, they felt as though they were right next to the rumbling thunders. In fact, they would’ve gone deaf if not for the energy shield.
“It’s better if you guys use your own techniques to fight the suppressing force, too. I can sense an aura coming from inside there. The aura seems to belong to a cultivator instead of a beast. I don’t know who’s there, so we better be careful,” Levi urged.
Cheriette and Larissa nodded in response, surprised. Looks like Dragon’s Grave Valley is still an attractive place to visit. That’s understandable, though. Dragon’s Grave Valley has countless Divine Bones. Although Heavenly Thunder here can kill cultivators, the treasures here are worth it.
The trio continued to walk forward, and the tense atmosphere became more and more apparent.
It was especially obvious when more and more layers of the energy shield Levi released had been shattered. Even the middle part of the shield had been squeezed and deformed.
“Look there! They look like bounty hunters,” Cheriette suddenly said.
