In a fleeting moment, the burgeoning essence coalesced at the digit tips, emitting an effulgent verdant luminescence akin unto jade. Withal, a solitary press betokened the descent of Death's harbinger, inexorable and dreadfully imposing.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCQEx3e6ZC
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0dmtARcDj
Hark! An onslaught from the second stratum of Nascent Soul!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwPGdFEiS
The heart of Eadwulf quailed, his visage contorted in terror, his orbs agape with incredulity as he sought to upraise his palm to stave off the direful assault.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJ6fI9mmG
Yet...
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0IXxx1MhB
The emerald radiance rent the æther, bearing an unrivalled dominion, and in the blink of an eye, transpierced the breast of Eadwulf. Blood didth spurt, flesh rent asunder, and crimson torrents gushed forth.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacyjzMANCO
In the ensuing moment, the corpus of Eadwulf rent asunder, flesh scattered, and the mephitic tang of blood permeated the air.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6j9lj17BY
A nebulous figure manifested.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEU04rlBO3
The soul of Eadwulf.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3HLyEVyrM
At this juncture, Eadwulf's countenance was suffused with horror, as if unable to countenance the veracity of all that transpired afore him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7mYCnxbML
Was fortune so callously denied him?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3y4GRixTl
Encountering a Nascent Soul True Immortal whilst yet convalescing from his injuries!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZ91ENdyj
His spirit quivered.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WB7skNDW
He regarded Aelfric with trepidation, his voice trembling as he queried, "For how many ages hath I dealt with the Yuan Sect, yet never have I encountered one akin to thee!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJuQ7y9dvD
"Who art thou...?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmwljhpPb3
"When in the annals of the Yuan Sect hath one akin to thee and me emerged, both preëminent prodigies, capable of combat transcending our echelon?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTJ8LBC8uO
"Now, we may ascertain who reigneth as the paramount genius at parity of cultivation."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFAHXanCf7
And soothly, for equity's sake, lest Aelfric be reduced to ignominy.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUtP5DTY1W
Aelfric shook his head, his speech queerly wrought, "Nay, needest thou? Art thou truly intent on subjugating me at commensurate echelon?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZevDi7FWG
Gaius appeared somewhat impatient, gesticulating with a modicum of irritation, "As a man, eschew such prattle."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa334xRyTWQ
"Since I vowed to quell thee to parity, I shall assuredly fulfill it. This, too, for thy equitable opportunity."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLOs7Omt5D
"That none may censure me for bullying the feeble."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsLt5QzeOd
He paused, then resumed, "Furthermore, this affords thee an opportunity, comprehendest thou?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7kVhG16BG
Upon hearing this, Eadwulf felt resigned.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DhDyU8RDq
Wouldst thou assail me with a Fifth Stratum Combined Body, I would forthwith succumb, resolving the matter.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eGLYku7UK
But shouldst thou confront me solely with a First Stratum Combined Body, mine instant subjugation would appear anomalous. Forsooth, I, too, am reputed a prodigious scion. Were I to capitulate with ease, it would seem unnatural.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Ce5sLkmU
Thus, I must needs simulate combat for a span ere capitulating, a veritable squandering of time.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdojCIGI6W8
Thereupon, Eadwulf assented with resignation, "So be it. Mayhap Aelfric will evince mercy."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAFut9XNUg
The insignia of the 'Elder of the Spectral Sovereignty,' a somber bead, and sundry treasures.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzmJx027pn
Within yon bead doth abide many puissant spirits, whom Aelfric liberated with a gesture.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6QZLh0bs
As for the insignia, Eadwulf evinced nary a modicum of surprise.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hkAIoOxLy
Yet, since the interlocutor, an Elder, took action, might the Spectral Sovereignty harbor some grand design?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHdgh1gch
Yet myriad actions avail them naught. Grant me but time, and in due course, all shall be mine.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuntfX7Mty
And thus, Eadwulf commenced respite.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Vy0q4pcn
An hour elapsed, whenceforth a voice resounded from without.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuPa5b34Ip
"Elder Brother, Elder Brother, emerge withal posthaste."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNCj4Wx0BS
"A dire conundrum befalleth!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01vuAR50U9
Eadwulf heeded the summons, emerging from his repose, a pang of vexation assailing him. Verily, this cultivation level is naught but a bauble to me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG3JOKAlBv
From the other's soliloquy, it mayhap be that Leo sustained grievous injury, else he would lack such prowess.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Up0gN3rsz
Yet, did Justin sneer, "I may not unleash mine entire potency, yet thou art not match for a Foundation-Building cultivator."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6EZbgpL6t
His words uttered, he moved to assail.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmzJ58BKaG
In an instant!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgqNK8o6z7
Justin's pupils constricted, akin to twin obsidian orbs drawn taut!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ7OsHlp0P
Within the recesses of his irises, Leo's semblance appeared, the gap betwixt them near tangible.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxeuR2o8L
How may such celerity obtain?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXFgPBhNvI
Even his corporeal and ethereal gaze could not apprehend it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlRy5D5HWG
This speed, neither Foundation-Building nor Golden-Core True Person may lay claim.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmonRGUURD
Might this be a Nascent Soul True Immortal?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWmul5T3v
He pondered naught that the Spectral Sovereignty might yet conceal a Nascent Soul!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9FUdcWXYE
Moreover, in the guise of a disciple!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76uPlhIeol
Were it not for his discernment, the sect's machinations might well have been thwarted. The other elders, upon apprehension, evinced sardonic smiles, issuing forth a cavalcade of sinister laughter: "Hehehe."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVweI8aVwlr
"Verily, the acumen of our young master knows no bounds."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VoIt0ZbVH
Their voices redolent of anticipation and reverence.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLHOOtAOJF
"At that time, our sect mayhap welcome another preëminent stalwart." Their voices resplendent with expectation and awe.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6A0aD726K
Gaius's lips quirked with a modicum of inscrutable meaning, a mien of cunning flickering in his gaze.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg6Pxvd8UK
Previously vowed to annihilate the Yuan Sect, but ignorance of Eadwulf's worth dictated elsewise. Presently cognizant, anent this, nay.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlwvJiq9Gj
"The deep machinations of our young master!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsDq8FH8l
At this juncture, another scion of the Julius family, a youth enshrouded in ebon vestments, opined.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VjbTtSnV1
The iridescent arc hastened toward the Yuan Sect, and en route, Eadwulf's histrionics earned approbation from the arc: "Lord, thou art ensconced too deeply, nigh impervious."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsPJilk2y
Yet Eadwulf but offered a wan smile, his injuries mended ere long, as though unscathed. Claudia felt a shiver down her spine, gooseflesh rising thereupon. She abruptly unfurled her orbs, a flicker of consternation coursing therein.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaiEc4jmws
Some intruder!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcWEUVBc3A
Eadwulf materialized noiselessly by Claudia's side, noting her reaction with a modicum of astonishment.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQpQ0EepwI
Worthy, indeed, of a transmigrant of prodigious stature, possessed of acutely sensitive faculties.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpTjTyo1tR
"Who dareth intrude upon mine sanctum!" Claudia's orbs gleamed with a hint of frigid luminosity, her voice cold and imperious.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP50rQBxtv
One truly dared to surveil her surreptitiously, courting death.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx286urC3rB
"Aye, verily competent, worthy of being a distinguished scion of the Yuan Sect." Eadwulf sneered, his tone laced with a tincture of sinister mirth, a tangible aura of death pervading.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AD200xs0Q
Claudia, upon hearing this, paled as if a startled
