The Story Never Ends

Nora reached infront of Olivia and said in a pleading tone, "Set me free."

"As you say." Olivia put her palms on her head and black smoke emerged from her which was then sucked into her mouth.

Along with it, Nora's breath began to fade. However, she didn't seem to be resisting it but rather enjoying it as one could see a smile on her face.

Outside the Secret Realm, on the top of the Sect Master's Peak,

The elders had a solemn look on their faces. They found that the identity token of many of the disciples had broken. Although they couldn't sense what was happening inside the secret realm, they would immediately know if the disciples had died. This was because the soul Qi that they had left in those tokens would dissipate.

"Liam has just fallen."

"What? How can it be?"

"Isn't he one of the strongest disciples?"

"What the hell is happening inside?"

"Why didn't they use the talisman that we have provided them?

The elders gossiped with each other and had many things they wanted to know.

"Liliana, what do you think? Are the guardians inside so strong that they couldn't handle it?" Vance asked.

"It would have been better if I could know about it. I'm worried about my daughter." Liliana sighed.

"What are you worried about when that kid is with her?" Vance comforted her.

Liliana nodded and was about to say something when a horrible aura was felt from their right.

They gazed in that direction and saw it was being released by a middle-aged man with short brown hair.

"Jared?" Lilian muttered.

"Who dared to do this?" He bellowed in rage and the whole peak shook. He couldn't believe his daughter also fell in the Secret Realm.

"What happened, Jared?" The Sect Master asked with a worried look.

Jared didn't reply but rather dashed towards the gate leading to the Secret Realm.

"Stop!" The Sect Master punched in his direction.

Jared suddenly felt a terrifying force coming towards him from the back. So, he turned back and responded to it with his palm.

"BOOM"

A huge explosion took place, and Jared was pushed a few steps back while coughing out a mouthful of blood. As for the Sect Master, he stood in his place calmly.

"Don't you know that the passage will collapse if you go in there?" The Sect Master scolded him. Even the passage would be unstable for the Nascent Soul Cultivators. This was also the reason why only the Golden Core Stage cultivators could enter the Secret Realm.

"I understand Sect Master. But…" Jared choked and couldn't continue.

"But what?" The Sect Master questioned.

"Nora."

The moment he said this, the Sect Master faltered, "Don't tell me…"

Jared shook his head.

"Haiz, leave me alone." The Sect Master didn't want to stay here any longer and left. He didn't even wait for the disciples to come out.

The same goes for Jared. Although he wanted to enter inside, he didn't dare to do so. He knew that the Sect Master was furious.

"Wew, how do I tell this news to Frida?" He was afraid to meet her. Not only was she far stronger than him, but she was also the sect master of the Demonic Beast Sect.

"I'm sure she would come here and create some issues. Maybe the Sect Master also thinks so," He thought and left for the Demonic Beast Sect. He knew that this was not something that could be hidden.

"So unfortunate. Such a talented disciple," Vance spoke with pity.

"Indeed," Liliana replied, but nobody could see the smirk on her face.

Inside the Secret Realm,

A male and a female separated by a few meters were gazing at each other. Not only that, on the ground a dried-up body of a girl could be seen laying down.

"Olivia or a Devil King. What do I call you?" Davion asked.

"Hehe, I don't like any of them. Just call me Julia," She smiled.

"Julia. So, why are you here and what do you want?" He didn't understand why she would take all this trouble to come here.

"Don't you remember the devil that you have slain not long ago?" She had a cold look on her face when talking about it. Although he was useless, he was still one of them.

"Oh! Aiden?" Davion exclaimed. He now knew where she was coming from.

"Humph, that's why I was sent by the emperor to investigate it. I thought that it might be an elder responsible for his death. But who could have thought that it would be an inner court disciple going by the name of the masked man?" She spoke.

"It seems like you have looked into me thoroughly," he was surprised.

"I had to. After all, it's the emperor's order," she said.

"I've been hearing the word emperor a lot from you devil kings. Why not tell me more about him?" He was curious.

"You are not qualified to know about him," She gave him a disdainful look.

"Haha, is that so?" He laughed.

"Why are you laughing? Do you think that you can escape from here alive?" She scoffed.

"Hehe, why do I have to run when I can kill you here? Maybe the emperor might even show himself up then," he mocked her.

"You sure have the guts to say this. You should know that I didn't show any of my abilities in the previous fight. Or else I would have long since sucked you dry." She licked her lips while glancing at the body of Nora lying on the ground.

"You are too cruel." He took out an axe from his spirit ring.

Seeing this, she became enraged, "You dare to use that weapon?"

"Won't it be nice to take your blood with it? I'm really curious how you would react." Actually, he wanted to see how strong this weapon was and she was a good opponent for him to try on.

"Let's see your confidence then." She got annoyed by his attitude. Not only that but the previous incident was also fresh in her mind. So, she was the first one to move.

"This.."

"Where am I?" All of a sudden, he found himself in a strange world. The sky and the ground were all blood-red colored and there was nothing except them. While he was pondering, he felt some movement coming from the ground.

Thus, when he looked down, he saw many hands slowly emerging out and, in a few seconds, he saw their whole bodies.

"They are the elders and the Sect Masters of the Blood Saber Sect. Not only that, there is Aiden and many more." When he saw their faces, he realized that they were all the people whom he had killed from the beginning.

"Keke, do you think I died?" Aiden's voice unexpectedly came from behind.

"What?" he instantly turned back and swung his axe.

"Swish.."

He cut through his body, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Moreover, he felt that he had cut through the air instead of actual flesh.

"Is this an illusion?" He thought.

"Kid, you dare to humiliate me?" this time he heard the voice of the Sect Master of the Blood Saber Sect and saw him approaching from the left.

"Come" Davion didn't react now and let him strike head-on.

The blade of the Sect Master passed through his body and he didn't feel anything.

"As I thought, this is only a childish trick," He muttered.

"Where are you hiding? Is this all you can do?" He shouted loudly.

However, he didn't hear her respond. Instead, someone else attacked him and saw that they were the elders. They stabbed their sabers into his chest. But this was different now as his blood spilled from his chest.

"Puchi-"

"How?" He couldn't imagine that one of the sabers really did pierce him.

"Hehe, did you think that my abilities would only be a simple illusion?" He heard her voice and saw the body of the elder who had managed to hurt him steadily change into Julia.

"Good move. You really caught me by surprise." He chuckled and grabbed her hand.

"But I caught you too." He showed his razor-sharp teeth, and he began transforming into his devil form. Then in a few seconds, he had already become at least thirty feet tall. Indeed, he was thrice as huge as previously and along with this, an extra eyeball popped out from his forehead.

"What are you?" Julia's expression finally changed. She found that his aura was skyrocketing at a rapid rate, and it even reached her level. Not only that, his physical strength had become so strong that she couldn't even take back her hand.

Davion didn't reply to it and said, "Shatter."

His newly born third pupil shined and released a brown-colored ray of light.

"Crack"

Everything around him broke like pieces of mirror and the illusion was easily destroyed.
