There was a restriction on every room. Although damaged now, the remaining traces still reflected the past glory. After half a day of exploration, Philip finally found an attic that looked different. Faint traces of restrictions could be found in the attic, and Philip found the room to be full of sword intent as soon as he entered. It was a completely different world in the room, but the sword intent did not attack Philip. Philip walked into the attic slowly. Although the interior of the room was simple, it was extraordinary too. The pictures and paintings on the wall revealed the power of countless rules that could drown someone at a glance. Philip saw the picture of a sword on the wall and was lost in it instantly. Philip saw a blood-red world with sword intent and sword shadows raging all over the sky. Philip felt as if he was right in the middle of it. For a brief moment, he felt that his body and soul were ripped apart, and Philip woke up. Philip trembled in shock.
By the time Philip opened his eyes, an hour had passed, and there was no injury on him. His wounds just now turned out to be hallucinations, which blew Philip’s mind. The Splitting Sword Intent was very powerful indeed, but everything in the attic had been reduced to ashes. However, something was left for Philip, and he found a trace on a broken stone tablet. [In Year 36, 027 of the primordial age, demons raged and a hundred races ran rampant. At my teacher’s command, I stood guard over the Verge Tower to protect the foundation of the human race…] This message was incomplete, but Philip still learned something useful. This ancient tower was Verge Tower, an artifact left behind by the human race, but unfortunately, it had been reduced to this dilapidated condition. It seemed that this was left by the predecessors of the human race when they first arrived from the ancestral land to the Starfall Continent, but there was no mention of what happened back then. Moreover, Verge
Everything was reflected in the mirror, which seemed to be a treasure but was now a part of Verge Tower. After taking a few glances, Philip set off for the next floor. As long as he controlled Verge Tower, all the treasures inside would be his. Just like this, Philip advanced several floors. He saw a world of ice and snow, a space full of fire, and a dark abyss. Philip found that Verge Tower was like a prison. However, Verge Tower also formed a world of its own, and every floor was full of life. Finally, Philip came to the tenth floor, which was the ocean world. The whole space seemed submerged in water with no sky in sight, and Philip felt a strong life force in the boundless water world. Philip did not expect to run into Sylvia's companion, Candace, in the canyon of an underwater chasm. The moment Philip appeared, Candace noticed him. Philip was mostly attracted by a huge crystal shining brightly with energy and light, and Philip immediately recognized it as a water sto
Philip had no time to dodge, and a black turtle shield appeared on his body. Bang! The attack hit him head-on. Although he was not injured, his blood surged. “Hmph, before you attack someone, you should find out who they belong to. How dare a chimera prince hurt my people?” The attacker was none other than Sylvia Shell. Philip said flatly, “Hehe, do you think your status is nobler than mine?” Sylvia scowled and said coldly, “This is the ancient dragon territory, not your chimera territory.” The threat was pretty obvious. Philip pursed his lips. He was not a real member of the chimera royal family but an imposter, so he was not afraid of her. This world was the survival of the fittest. Only the strong had the right to speak, and those with the biggest fists set the rules. “Hehe, I’ve weathered countless storms and am not afraid of a little girl like you.” Philip said with a chuckle, not taking Sylvia seriously at all. Sylvia was a pampered girl since she was a chil
The next moment, sword cries filled the space, and a splitting word intent appeared in front of Philip. Following Philip's movement, the sword intent disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Sylvia. The sword hummed constantly, and Sylvia was shocked. Energy emerged from her in defense. Even so, the sword intent pierced through Sylvia’s shoulder and wreaked havoc on her body. Candace quickly asked, “Your Highness, are you alright?” “I’m fine, but the chimera prince ran away. This is so annoying.” Sylvia said coldly, her body already injured. “Should I give chase?” Sylvia said coldly, “Don't chase after him. He has many tricks up his sleeve. You may not be his match. “It seems that my father is right. There are countless experts in the Starfall Continent, and I’m just a frog at the bottom of the well.” Candace said softly, “Your Highness, I don't understand. We can enter the tenth floor because we have this token. How did the chimera prince get h
Philip clearly saw his punch hitting the big roc without the slightest ripple. “That thing’s too strong, damn it!” Philip cursed angrily. He did not expect the big roc's defense to be so strong. Philip dared not hesitate. With a roar, his energy surged, and the whole space fluctuated. The next moment, Philip turned into a giant that was hundreds of meters tall with flames all over his body. It was the chimera manifestation. The space became hazy, burned by the flames of the giant chimera. Philip clenched his fists and punched the big roc. Boom! As the fist shadow fell, the space hummed and vibrated. However, Philip saw the sarcasm in the big roc’s eyes. The big roc simply stood motionless, waiting for Philip’s attack. Bang! The space shook, and energy fluctuations spread to the surroundings. Dust billowed within a range of several miles, and Philip saw the huge eyes of the big roc even more closely this time. The big roc flapped its wings. Philip felt a trem
Sword cries resounded throughout the space, full of monstrous sword intent and murderous aura! The big roc was looking at the sky with a hint of excitement in its eyes. A screech pierced through the sky! It seemed to be saying that this was interesting. Philip was exasperated. However, the big roc remained motionless and allowed the sword formation to cover it fearlessly. In the sky, the Chimera Sword Formation started spinning, and fiery red sword shadows fell from the sky. The red sword shadows illuminated the space for a moment. Clang, clink! With the sounds of metal collisions, the sword shadows hit the big roc, creating sparks. Seeing this scene, Philip was speechless, and shouted coldly, “Form!” The fiery red sword shadows continued to gather in the sky and formed a giant sword shadow that glowed with a sharp cold light as if it could tear the surrounding space. The big roc screeched as if it was taking this more seriously now, and a dark golden light app
Philip did not know that the big roc could speak. He had arrived on the 17th floor at this time. Sunlight shone brightly from the outside. This place was deep and terrifyingly silent. Philip found that this floor was smaller than the 16th floor, and it looked quite dilapidated. Philip could see the entire floor at a glance. It looked like a huge square with countless sealed stone boxes flickering with lights. Although Philip did not know what was inside those stone boxes, there was a sharp vibe radiating inside, letting Philip know that it must be a magic weapon or something similar. Philip reached out to pick up a stone box to see if he could break the seal on it, but no matter how Philip tried, the box remained motionless. It seemed this method did not work. Philip pursed his lips and decided to ignore it. After he controlled Verge Tower, maybe he could find a way, so why should he waste time here? The next moment, Philip's figure disappeared. When he appeared on the 18
“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
