Due to the Three-Phase God Demon Technique, Philip’s physical body was not weak. It could even be said that he was somewhat stronger than other practitioners. Even facing such a strange big worm, Philip was unfazed. He abruptly threw a punch at the big worm, but to his surprise, the big worm's flesh seemed to be extremely tough with strong shock resistance. He felt as if his attack had rebounded and he was sent flying back, leaving a rift in the ground before he stopped. The strange big worm raised its head and screeched before burrowing back into the sand. The ground shook, and Philip knew that thing must be coming at him. He stomped on the ground and jumped high into the air. The strange big worm soared into the sky after Philip. Philip was waiting for this opportunity. Seeing the big worm's rows of teeth rotating like sharp knives, Philip grabbed the big worm's head. With his powerful strength, he smashed the big worm fiercely to the ground. Boom! Dust billow
“Help, please save me!” Without any hesitation, Philip rushed to the woman. He grabbed the woman's hand, but at this moment, a strange smile appeared on the woman's face. The hand that Philip was holding was not a hand at all but the stem of a moonflower. That woman was simply an illusion. Countless moonflower stems wrapped around Philip's body. He tried to break free but to no avail. The sand seemed to drain Philip’s strength. Spikes appeared on the flower stems and pierced Philip's skin. Philip could feel his blood running down the spikes. Due to this reason, Philip also discovered that his stagnant energy suddenly began to circulate when his blood flowed out of his body. With energy, everything was easy. Philip quickly activated his fire element. The red-white flames instantly engulfed the moonflowers. As the moonflowers withered, however, Philip's circulating energy stagnated again. The red-white flames also vanished as Philip’s energy disappeared. Phi
As the tower shook, all the stone paths began to vibrate. The people on the paths were at a loss for a moment. The rules of gravity on the stone paths kept changing with different levels of pressure. As a result, many people fell to the ground, and Philip finally saw the projected shadow that he had seen earlier. It was an unusually handsome middle-aged man dressed in an ancient robe with long hair draped over his shoulders. He stood on the top of the tower and looked down at Philip and the others with an attitude of looking at commoners. “Everyone, you’ve finally passed the first test of the Archaic Underworld. “This also means that you’re one step closer to your wish.” No one paid any attention to this middle-aged man. Although he looked like a high-and-mighty person, except for the prince of the Beelzebub royal family, almost no one entered this place willingly, so no one would be grateful to him. Just like Philip, who was simply forced to enter this place. “By the
Finally, Philip felt his energy returning. He could use a little energy now. He looked at the others and saw the relief on their faces. The moment they recovered their energy, everyone sat on the floor to recover their physical strength. Raven walked up to Philip and sat down too. Philip asked softly, “Why do you seem as if you’ve not exhausted any energy at all?” Raven chuckled and said, “Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Alas, when I was about to fight the Great Augur to the death back then, I became just like him.” Hearing this, Philip glanced at him. In other words, like the Great Augur, Raven no longer used energy as an attack method but the power of the curse. Sighing softly, Philip knew that Raven's practice had come to an end. It was impossible for him to improve further. However, Raven seemed unfazed about it. “Actually, I have nothing to regret. At least in the current situation, I'm having an easier time than all of you.” Philip nodded. He cou
After the fight, everyone's energy was almost exhausted. Philip stood in the corner, and his eyes fell on the wall of the Underworld Tower. Due to the high concentration of blood around, murals appeared on the walls. However, he felt that something was missing in these murals. What could it be? When Philip looked at the murals, he seemed immersed in them. In an instant, shouts of killing rang in Philip's ears, and he seemed to have entered a battlefield. Energy overflowed on this battlefield, and various attack methods could be seen. Bodies were scattered everywhere, and countless heads were suspended in the air. Suddenly, Philip's River Burial Illusion was activated involuntarily, and Philip came back to his senses at this time. He then realized that the murals were not simple. He just took a glance at them and was sucked into them. If someone had attacked him just now, he might be dead by now. If the River Burial Illusion had not launched in time, he might not hav
At this time, the others also began to slowly wake up. They looked at those injured people lying on the ground who were still trapped in the murals, and a savage expression crossed their faces. Those unconscious people soon became victims. With their deaths, the second floor of the Underworld Tower finally opened. When they entered the second floor, they realized that the middle-aged man was already there. The middle-aged man was no longer smiling. He sighed and said solemnly, “I believe all of you have noticed that the scene depicted in the murals is the war between practitioners during ancient times! “It was a war triggered by two prophets, and I think all of you have felt the cruelty of that war!” No one replied, because no one knew if this kind-looking middle-aged man was actually a ruthless person. No one wanted to say the wrong thing and end up dead. The middle-aged man continued, “The second floor requires you to survive the war in the murals. The longer you pe
The middle-aged man had already disappeared. Philip knew that if this situation continued, it would not be long before everyone died. If that happened, the chances of getting out from the Underworld Tower would be even smaller. Seeing this, Philip suddenly had another thought. Since the River Burial Illusion could free him from this environment, could he use it to save others? Thinking of this, Philip activated the River Burial Illusion with the little energy he had recovered, but his plan was to cover every inch of this land with the River Burial Illusion. Only in this way could the others be awakened. In fact, Philip's reason for waking them up was very simple. After all, people who could be captured here more or less had their specialty. Philip had no way of getting out of here by himself right now. If everyone could come up with a plan together, at least it would be faster than Philip working alone. However, Philip had too little energy now, so the process seemed ex
After that, Philip noticed that the person who spoke just now was no longer simply trapped in an illusion but had become one with the scarecrow. The scarecrow was covered in a layer of blood mist. Raven walked up to Philip’s side and said, “This is a parasitic scarecrow. In our assassination world, there’s a profession called the puppeteer, and this parasitic scarecrow is their specialty.” With Raven's explanation, Philip finally understood what the parasitic scarecrow was capable of. No matter who touched these scarecrows, they would be parasitized, fall into a frenzy, and start attacking all living things around them. Now, that person had already fallen into a state of frenzy, while the scarecrow sticking to him got plumper. It was as if it was about to become a living person. Suddenly, the fight started. That person's first target was Philip, and he rushed straight at Philip. Although everyone could not mobilize much energy now, the parasitic person was different w
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
