Saber and Hayden no longer had any more help at the moment, thus Saber did not respond to Steward Horne's taunts and threats. Saber whispered, "Our men should be here in five minutes. Once they get here, we'll be able to take these bastards down." "It really is strange, though. Most lower dimension cultivators who come here usually have their powers severely decreased. How is this guy still so powerful?" Hayden glanced at Wilbur. "My only guess is that he's the most powerful cultivator in his lower dimension, so his powers are still pretty decent even after they've shrunken down. Don't you forget, Mister Saber, that every cultivator who comes to the middle dimensions would suffer from shrunken powers." "I see. That's probably it, then." Saber and Hayden walked backward as they spoke. Wilbur called out loudly when he noticed that, "What's this? Trying to run?" Hayden had been right. Wilbur was the most powerful cultivator on Earth, but that was not the case for every cultiva
"Please! Please let me go! I'll give you whatever you want. Let's make a deal!" … Wilbur's gaze flashed. "Say goodbye to this world, Saber Farring!" He flicked his wrist sharply, and the enormous palm clenched tightly into a fist. Saber's body exploded into small particles that drifted off into the wind. Just then, a series of footsteps could be heard. Steward Horne grabbed Wilbur by the wrist, urging, "Their men are here, let's go quickly!" Both of them raced through the woods as the soldiers chased after them, both on the ground and in the sky as they shouted for the pair to stop. The soldiers were unable to catch up to Wilbur and Steward Horne, but the distance between both parties was quite short. The two men ran for their lives in the snow, and Steward Horne turned around. Pain shot through his chest all of a sudden, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The pair were forced to stop, and Steward Horne let go of Wilbur's wrist. "You go on ahead. I can't run any further
Jack knew that Firetree Pythons were extremely ill-tempered, and a violent battle was bound to break out once it sensed that someone had broken into its nest. It would take at least three junior guards and twenty soldiers to kill an adult Firetree Python, and Jack was pretty certain that Wilbur and Steward Horne would not be powerful enough to defeat one. They would be dead for sure. All they had to do now was wait for that to happen. Jack had been told that he had to bring Steward Horne's corpse back, but now felt like that was not necessary anymore. Once it was confirmed that the Firetree Python had woken up, Jack would be able to head back with everyone else. This was Divan's task, not Jack's. It was just that Jack had to listen to Divan as he was under him. The thought of Divan reminded Jack of the past. The two of them had entered the Reyne family together, but Divan had made it as a Middle Guard in just two thousand years while Jack remained a Junior Guard. Jack was ce
Everyone was beside themselves with terror. After all, other species outside of human beings could cultivate in the middle dimensions as well. Just like Wilbur's master had once told him, the universe was a vast expanse, and cultivation was not something that was just limited to the human race. "A wyrm?" Jack widened his eyes. He was no more than a Junior Guard. If Saber was here, the two of them might have a shot at defeating a Firetree Python together. But if the python had evolved into a wyrm, Jack and his men would not stand a chance. If they were to stay here and the wyrm were to burst out of the hole in the tree all of a sudden, they would all be dead. Either way, the wyrm had been awakened and there was no way Wilbur and Steward Horne could still be alive. There was honestly no point in staying here any longer. Buck Town was a place filled with murder and danger, where countless tragic incidents played out every day. It was only natural that everyone would look out for t
Wilbur did not know what to say to Felix. He did not know the guy well, and the middle dimensions were far more dangerous than he even knew. Agreeing to Felix's request might get him into unwanted trouble. Despite the fact that Felix had helped Wilbur before, Wilbur had also saved his life in return. The two men did not owe each other anything anymore, and Felix was currently being hunted down by the Reyne family. Wilbur might become a target himself if he agreed to Felix's request. Just as he was thinking about it, Felix pushed himself off the bed before falling to his knees in front of Wilbur. "Please, honorable Child of Light. Please let me follow you for the rest of my life." "Please stand up, Senior Horne." Wilbur was about to help Felix up, but Felix was hellbent on remaining on his knees. "No! I won't get up until you say yes to me, even if I have to die like this!" "You don't have to do this, Senior Horne…" Wilbur sighed. He was not a ruthless man, and eventually ag
Felix stared at Wilbur solemnly. "I've finally found the reason why the Eight Great Families have been able to reign supreme in Buck Town for tens of thousands of years without any decline, Master. It's because of the special aura in the four forbidden grounds—the Azure Dragon Lake, White Tiger Forest, Vermillion Bird Mountains, and Black Tortoise Lake." After a brief pause, Felix explained further, "The energy aura in Buck Town is so thin because the energy in these four forbidden locations is controlled by the Eight Great Families. They've been able to claim these energies as their own and use them to cultivate for thousands of years. It's terrifying." Felix could not help but shake his head at the thought. This had seemed practically impossible when he had first found out about it, but that was the truth. Wilbur frowned. "So, the Eight Great Families took over the four energy sources of Buck Town, controlling and absorbing the energy aura that comes out of them, leaving whatev
Felix's plan, despite being a pretty solid one, was still too rash for the time being. Besides, Felix has yet to recover fully. Wilbur could only console him, telling him that they could postpone their escape plan for a later day. Throughout the next month, Wilbur would go hunting late at night and cook up some good food. He would eat with Felix in the cave, and then continue cultivating. Time sped by, and Felix's injuries had finally completely recovered. Due to the freezing weather, Wilbur collected some firewood and lit a fire in the cave. There was a breeze blowing into the cave that night, and thus they did not have to worry that the fire would go out. Felix got off the stone bed, stretching his body before walking up to the fire. "Master, have you thought about the plan I proposed to you a month ago? When are we getting out of here?" Wilbur stoked the fire with a branch, sparks kicking up from the breeze outside. He stared at them calmly, saying, "I've considered it a lon
"By the way, I found an even more secluded cave a few mountains behind last night. I think we should move there tomorrow for safety's sake." "Alright." The following night, Wilbur and Felix crossed the mountains under the moonlight to the next cave. Throughout the next year, they would move locations every one to three months. At the end of the year, they had reached a snowy mountain several thousand kilometers away from Buck Town. There was a lake under the snowy mountain that was filled with fish. Wilbur and Felix cultivated there and went fishing whenever they got hungry. Felix would always look surprised when he saw Wilbur sprinkle seasoning on the grilled fish. After eating the seasoned fish, Felix would give Wilbur a thumbs-up and look genuinely impressed. "That fish was amazing, Master." "Yeah? Have some more, then. We'll get back to cultivating after you're done eating." Felix nodded. "I'll work hard on my cultivation, Master." Wilbur saw the look of joy on his
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
