When Baldwin and Grenn heard of Xavier's intentions, their somber expressions brightened up in an instant. Previously, their forces had suffered successive defeats that resulted in the loss of several supreme paragons and even half-immortals. Their vitality had taken a hit too.Baldwin had initially planned to imbibe himself with blood within the Seven Star Formation upon returning to the sacred land—it was his attempt at breaking his true body free from the seal. However, he lacked the complete power of blood and energy from a half-immortal to achieve that, and had felt helpless in the face of that realization.Despite having physical prowess as a clone of the Ancestora, mounting a clandestine attack on a half-immortal was still beyond his reach. As a result, he could only rely on Grenn and Xavier. Alas, the magnitude of their recent failure made Grenn cautious about taking further action."I'm aware what happened at the Eastern Sea. Since we failed to secure the dragonoids' treasu

Over at the Burkes' ancestral land in Eastplain, a vast spatial passage tore open and casted a shadow over the Burkes' territory. In response, many of the Burkes leaped into the air in a panic and assumed defensive stances."What a sneaky little rat you are, Xavier! Are you sure you want to start a war against the Burkes?" Jero, the Burkes' elder, ripped open the void with a furious glow in his eyes.A cold, mocking laughter was the only retort he received. "A war? Your family isn't worthy of one!" Following those words, a massive sky-sized handprint descended down and smacked Jero away forcefully.Back at Enchanted Peak, nature painted a beautiful picture with a fresh flush of leaves and a sea of white mist enveloping the area. Severin reclined on a lounge chair in the courtyard, gazing out at the sea of clouds before him.During that period, he had fully digested the celestial peach's remaining divine technique within him and ascended to become a level seven supreme paragon. Thou

After a while, a deathly pin-drop silence enveloped the main hall. Severin could even discern each person's different rhythm of breathing.News of Xavier invading Eastplain and killing three half-immortals in quick succession, came as a bombshell to everyone present. Severin, in particular, frowned severely as he could tell from Kugen's account that Xavier had grown stronger. It had reached a point where Xavier dispatched half-immortals with ease."The situation has taken a rather complicated turn," Severin mumbled. According to Kugen, it was likely that Xavier succumbed to the allure of the deviant path. After all, if 'Baldwin', the leader of the Primordial Sacred Land, could become the Ancestora's clone, then it was entirely possible that Xavier was ensnared by its influence.He had barely gotten the chance to enjoy a brief respite after an arduous half-month, yet it was starting to become apparent that he needed to salvage the situation in Eastplain. He could not bring himself to

Over at the Menzies ancestral land at Eastplain, what should have been wisps of mystical clouds and purple mist that blessed the land had turned into rolling thunder and dark winds that whipped up a flurry of debris into the sky.The ground was covered in blood that converged into a river at the entrance to the Menzies' ancestral land. There were ripples in the void within a several-hundred-mile radius, and chaotic energy raged unabated.Their ancestral land that was deemed a sort of heaven on earth had since been turned into disarray.The several remaining family members activated their formations under the leadership of the family head to mount a desperate resistance against the Primordial Sacred Land.Standing suspended in mid-air, Xavier could feel the wind blowing right beneath him. He placed his hands behind his back and glanced haughtily at the Menzies' formation in front of him. With contempt in his eyes and derision in his posture, he sneered at Baldwin, "Perhaps the Menzi

Baldwin lowered his arms upon the sight and half-squinted as he observed the rippling void in the distance. An airship soon emerged from the void, radiating a resplendent light."The Grandiuno Sacred Land has arrived," Baldwin remarked coldly.Just days prior, they had vied for the dragon's treasure trove in the Eastern Sea, and the Grandiuno Sacred Land emerged victorious. It was one of the many reasons that Baldwin resented that sacred land.Xavier sneered contemptuously upon hearing that gazed at them haughtily."I'll happily kill anyone who sends themselves to meet their end in my hand," Xavier said flatly. His ascent to immortality required him to consume the half-immortals from Eastplain's eight major families, and Xavier viewed any form of opposition as a sign of a foe. With the Grandiuno Sacred Land's becoming an enemy, Xavier was determined to retaliate against them.He turned to Baldwin and instructed, "Hold them off for the time being. I'll help you out after destroyi
