Other practitioners were nervous at first, but their worries were quickly replaced by excitement after hearing the comments of the people of Mistral Temple. This opportunity fell on their heads for no reason. Everyone searched around in the sealed land for their opportunities. They walked ahead and soon saw a huge palace in front of them. Aslan was very excited and circled the palace. “This palace looks very grand.” As soon as they entered the palace, a transparent barrier appeared in front of them and trapped them on one side. Meanwhile, a horde of weird-looking beasts appeared on the other side. The transparent barrier separated both parties to ensure their safety. The powerful beasts simply appeared in the palace, and their enormous bodies made the huge palace look smaller. The transparent barrier separated both parties so well that no one could hear each other. Philip searched around the palace, wondering what he could find. At this moment, the dim palace li
A sword appeared in Philip's hand, and he swung it at the skeleton’s skull. The skull shattered, and lightning poured into the bones. The skeleton fell apart and turned into dust. As he recalled the earlier attack, Philip made a discovery. Although the power he used every time weighed at least several thousand kilograms, the strength of the skeletons was gradually increasing. The initial force of 500 kilograms gradually reached 1,000 kilograms. Philip had a feeling that if the skeletons were given a chance to reassemble again, their strength might reach 1,500 kilograms or more. By then, even Philip might be no match for them. Sure enough, rays of light zoomed at the piles of bones, and the bones reassembled again. This time, the skeletons were faster and stronger than before. Philip scowled darkly. His guess was spot on. The broken bones would reorganize and become stronger each time. Philip wanted to know what was the ray of light that hit the bones just now but coul
Initially, everyone gloated and thought they could take care of these monsters easily. Later, they realized that these skeletons were terrifying and simply not something they could deal with. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? This is terrifying!” “We’re doomed. I thought I was quite powerful, but the world was simply playing a joke on me! Everyone yelled in a panic when they realized this serious problem. However, it was too late. Not everyone could deal with the enhanced skeletons. They simply ran around trying to dodge the skeletons’ attacks. Reality proved that it was useless. The skeletons were much faster than them. Some people were hit by the skeletons and fell to the ground, howling in pain. Other arrogant people wanted to challenge the skeletons and had one of their arms chopped off. Philip felt helpless to see their misery. It was not that easy to wipe out so many skeletons. More importantly, they could not find a way to solve this problem. The people of Mist
The beasts and humans killed in battle would turn into bones piled up in the corner as if receiving baptism. Philip did not doubt that the corpses of these beasts and humans would one day turn into skeletons to fight against them. The people of Mistral Temple felt like they were going to have a mental breakdown. It felt like a dream to them. “Impossible. How could the ancient book deceive us?” “But they're still appearing after having been killed several times!” “Teacher, you have to save us. Many of our comrades have died!” The clergies of Mistral Temple ran around in a panic. They knew they were in deep trouble now. However, not all skeletons had the same strength after resurrection. That depended on their opponents. The skeletons destroyed by Philip would resurrect according to his standards, while weaker opponents might only achieve the same results after four rounds compared to what Philip could achieve in three rounds. After discovering this secret, everyone sto
Hearing the screams around them, Aslan and the others quickly checked on their people and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming everyone was fine. Those who died were weaker practitioners who were less guarded, mostly casual practitioners or members of large families. Philip could not do anything about it. He was not a god and could not protect everyone. After absorbing enough blood, the bone palace became spookier. An eerie red light kept flashing in the palace. The dismembered skeletons healed instantly and became stronger. After they returned to normal, they attacked Philip and the others with everything they had. Philip dared not drop his guard and quickly brandished his weapon. He did not know if the resurrected skeletons had become stronger. “These bones should be cooked in broth,” Philip frowned as he muttered under his breath. The force of these skeletons had exceeded 10,000 kilograms. Philip thought he could buy some time by dismembering the skeleton
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for that narrow escape. Philip looked outside nervously only to find a huge pond. To be precise, they were deep underwater now. They were surrounded by bones that looked like they belonged to a beast. The white bones were hundreds of meters long and looked spooky with a red luster. They were trapped inside the palace, making it difficult to escape. Philip could only wait quietly for things to progress. Although the threat from the skeletons had ceased, they were facing new problems. The palace was shrinking rapidly, and they were trapped inside. With hundreds of people packed into the small space, it was very crowded. The remaining beasts were squeezed against the walls, unable to stand any longer. To vent their frustrations, the beasts simply crashed against the walls, trying to smash the palace into pieces, but it was futile. Tens of thousands of kilograms of force attacked the walls of the palace without leaving a mark, which prov
Death was commonplace in the world of practitioners. Philip stood in one corner and sensed his surroundings. A fierce battle seemed to be happening outside. However, the bone palace restricted their vision and senses, so Philip could not see what was happening outside. In a place where Philip and the others could not see, the huge beast skeleton was fighting with an ancient statue. They fought vigorously as if fighting for territory. A huge grave mound was piled up next to the two creatures. Dirt kept running down the mound as if something was trying to get out. While the two creatures fought, a loud noise shocked everyone, and Philip finally saw the situation outside. He saw two strange creatures fighting, but before he could react, the mound exploded not far away, shocking everyone. The mound burst open, and a young man emerged from inside. The man had the face of a six-year-old child, which looked very bizarre. “Philip, did you see that guy? How can someone look like
“Don’t be angry.” A dainty woman nervously approached the old man, trying to appease his anger. However, the old man was very angry and refused to listen. With a flick of his finger, the woman instantly turned into dust. Seeing this, the other women knelt in horror and dared not approach him anymore. “Anyone who dares to mess with me, Dustin, will be killed!” Dustin Lindell was very angry and wished he could cut the person who owned the sealing stone into pieces. Anyone from the Guzo Continent would definitely recognize this old man. There was a mysterious profession called engraver on the Guzo Continent. An engraver could engrave various spells on people's bodies that produced various temporary effects. This art could only be engraved on the human body. Although painful, the effect was quite significant. Certain spells could increase speed while others could increase strength temporarily, so this art was quite amazing. It was extremely difficult to learn this art.
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
