Chapter 1059 Dominating The Battlefield
Despite being called the Dragon-Sweeping Spear, the attack was more piercing than sweeping. However, this is because the targets weren't dragons.
The Dragon-Sweeping Spear was a move designed to sweep dragons off their feet by targeting their underbellies, which were the weak part of the bodies in comparison to their tough dragon scales.
Nevertheless, even after the three Mid Paragon-level Mutants were split into two parts, they were still far from dying.
Leon had anticipated the mutants to be tenacious. As such, he quickly followed up with a second attack as he slapped them on the heads and extinguished their souls with nihility power.
Afterward, he corroded their bodies with death power to prevent the other Paragon-level Mutants from assimilating them and becoming stronger.
He showed no restraint and hesitation and used his various abilities and skills to destroy the mutants swiftly. It was a significant difference in treatment compared to the Paragon-level insects.
Nevertheless, all of them had to die either way.
Boom! Boom!
The region shook from the impacts of the battle at irregular intervals as Leon fought in a four-way battle with the mutants, black ants, and giant centipedes.
In that situation, Leon couldn't afford to be picky in how he fought the black ants and giant centipedes that targeted him.
Overlord Spear Art's Second Spear – Annihilating Demon Spear!
Dozens of Paragons, whether they were mutants, black ants, or giant centipedes, they were all swept away by the power of Leon's dark energy-infused spear as he broke out of their encirclement.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm At the same time, the mutants, black ants, and giant centipedes' bodies all split into numerous pieces in midair as they were blown away.

Although Leon's energy cultivation was only at the Peak of Heaven Ascension Realm, which was comparable to Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Realm, the Tier-7 White Spear completely made up for his dark energy's lacking power.
Not a single Paragon remained intact after coming across his Tier-7 White Spear.
Leon's Peak Paragon-level aura surged and dominated the battlefield. But instead of deterring his enemies, his aura attracted all the mutants, black ants, and giant centipedes in D Sector towards him as if he was a target that they had to eliminate at all costs.
They had deemed him as the biggest threat.
Although it was outside of his expectation, Leon welcomed the challenged and continued to use Annihilating Demon Spear to sweep away his foes.
He only felt a bit of a loss for destroying precious high-quality materials.
Meanwhile, Lord Rhuvek and his men slowly arrived on the edge of the battlefield and found a safe spot to observe the situation.
They were immediately awed by Leon's means as bodies continued to pile up in his area. He wasn't just powerful in their eyes, but he also wielded many abilities.
Not a single person among them had seen anyone like Leon before. They wondered if other people on the surface were also this capable.
Little did they know, Leon was an abnormal existence even on the surface.
"All of you stay here and avoid drawing attention to yourself," Lord Rhuvek instructed with a serious look before saying, "I, alone, will be joining the battle. It's embarrassing that an outsider is doing all the work for our clan."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"My Lord, but that is too—"
"No, buts!"
"W-we understand, my Lord. Please be careful."
The dark elves wanted to persuade Lord Rhuvek, but he was very firm in his decision. As such, they had no choice but to accept.
A few moments later, Lord Rhuvek entered the battlefield to assist Leon.
However, he could only take on a few Paragons at a time and couldn't come anywhere close to Leon's location.
His weapon was a Tier-6 Black Sword, which should have been more than enough to break the defense of Paragon-level beings.
Unfortunately, Lord Rhuvek's Tier-6 Black Sword was poor and barely enough to be considered a tier-6 weapon. Additionally, the black ants and giant centipedes' defenses were very strong, even among Paragon-level beings.
As such, Lord Rhuvek didn't have an easy time cutting down his foes. He could only fight on the periphery. If he pushed himself, he would be surrounded and overwhelmed.
"Keep your eyes wide open, boys. You don't get many opportunities to witness battles of this magnitude," a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Dark Elf said to the rest of the platoon.
At the same, the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Dark Elf clenched his fist without averting his eyes from the battle. Whether it was due to nervousness or excitement, he did not want to miss any part of the battle.
"It's the first time I've seen so many Paragon-level existences in one place. There have to be at least a thousand of them in this location alone," a Late Rank 2 Transcendent-level Dark Elf commented with wide eyes.
"Yeah. Normally, this would have been a death sentence for us…" another dark elf slowly said with his eyes on the battle before adding, "But right now, these Paragons are all being slaughtered by Lord Leon."
"It's hard to imagine this person came from the surface. I've become strangely curious about the surface. I wonder if Lord Leon would allow me to follow him back to the surface for a look."
"Are you seriously considering that?"
The dark elves immediately turned their heads with astonishment when one of them had thoughts of visiting the surface.
Nevertheless, several dark elves started entertaining the same idea when they gave it some thought. It was an opportunity to leave the confinement of the Lower Abyss Domain and broaden their horizon.
If they could follow someone as powerful as Lord Leon, they wouldn't suffer losses on the surface.
That being said, their loyalty still lies with the Dark Elf Clan.
"It would be great if we could act as envoys to increase the interaction and relationship between our clan and the surface. I think we have a lot to learn from the surface," a dark elf thought.
Meanwhile, the battle quietly ended before the platoon of dark elves realized it due to their distraction.
Leon had wiped out most of the mutants, black ants, and giant centipedes without breaking a sweat.
Chapter 1060 Seventh Branch Clan's Gratitude
Over a thousand bodies lay scattered across the central region of D Sector, some of which piled like mountains.
Leon stood at the center of it all and scanned the surroundings for any more foes. After confirming all his foes were dead, he started salvaging materials from the dead insects.
The insect materials slowly disappeared into his Worldspace one after the other.
Eventually, only the mutants' blackened corpses were left behind, along with some unsalvageable parts from the black ants and giant centipedes.
The blackened corpses were nothing more than sources of plague, carrying death and diseases after being corrupted by his Paragon-level Death Law.
Just as Leon prepared to reduce the blackened corpses to nothingness, Lord Rhuvek dragged his body over with a limping foot; his black armor was filled with scratches, but he seemed okay—for the most part, anyway.
Lord Rhuvek gazed at the blackened remains with surprise before asking, "These things are what's left of the mutants, Lord Leon? Isn't this… death power?"
"It is," Leon casually nodded before turning to look at Lord Rhuvek. "Do you have something against people that wield the Death Law, Lord Rhuvek?"
"Well… no, not at all, Lord Leon. I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of one, is all," Lord Rhuvek answered wryly before adding, "Besides that, this death power is very damaging to D Sector's environment…"
"Yeah, I was just about to remove them," Leon casually stated before waving his hand over the blackened corpses.
A wave of destruction swept past them and reduced everything into ashes, which was further reduced into fine atoms that could not be perceived with mortal eyes a few moments later.
It almost appeared as if the blackened corpses disappeared into nothingness.

All the death power disappeared along with them.
"This power… this is the Destruction Law?" Lord Rhuvek's eyes widened.
He was given a greater shock by the discovery. Shortly after, the gaze he used to look at Leon became even more respectful and fearful.
"This is unbelievable. Lord Leon looks no older than twenty, but you've accomplished so much at a young age. Your talents are simply overflowing, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek smiled wryly.
Thinking about the sheer quantity of materials possibly gained in this battle, Lord Rhuvek wasn't so sure whether Lord Leon would still be interested in trading with his city.
"About the trade…"
"You don't have to worry about that, Lord Rhuvek," Leon smiled and said, "I am still interested in trading with your city, and preferably a long-term one. This much material won't be enough to sate my appetite.
"That's great to hear," Lord Rhuvek heaved a sigh of relief before saying, "Please excuse me first, Lord Leon. I need to clean up the battlefield and make arrangements for my people. Once I am done, I will thank you properly."
"You're too polite, Lord Rhuvek. Please go ahead and do what you need to do," Leon calmly said.
Lord Rhuvek nodded.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Shortly after, Lord Rhuvek left to instruct the platoon of dark elves to work on the cleanup process and map as much of D Sector as it was safe for them to do so.
Although Leon had taken away most of the Paragon-level insects for their materials, much of their acidic blood had been splattered over a large area of D Sector.
Lord Rhuvek and the dark elves cared much for the spirit plants and wanted to preserve much of the environment in D Sector as much as possible.
Given the dangers of the D Sector, Lord Rhuvek would have prioritized the safety of his people over the environment.

However, the dark elves all felt at ease with Leon around.
Nevertheless, as the dark elves were busy saving the environment, Rainshine returned to Leon's side in a dirty state as her white furs were stained by insect blood.
Leon summoned a tub of water and gave her a quick rinse with some cleansing spirit herbs before she was sparkling clean again.
Although they shared a master-subordinate relationship, Leon thoroughly treated Rainshine like one of his pets.
Once that was done, Leon toured around D Sector and looked at the various spirit herbs it had to offer. They were mostly tier-4 spirit herbs that were on the verge of becoming tier-5 spirit herbs.
However, Leon suspected that there might actually be some tier-5 spirit herbs in D Sector.
After all, D Sector's conditions were much better than the first three sectors. It must have been why there were so many Paragon-level insects gathered on D Sector compared to the other three sectors.
That being said, Leon did not harvest any of the spirit herbs. He simply took some seeds from the spirit herbs he didn't have and planted them in the Worldspace.
Three hours later, Lord Rhuvek and the dark elves finished their business in D Sector. The post-battle cleanup was done, and roughly two-fifths of D Sector had been mapped. Even a few ant nests and centipede tunnels were located.
However, the dark elves did not dare to approach within six hundred yards of them.
A few moments later, Lord Rhuvek and the dark elf platoon gathered in front of Leon orderly and expressed their gratitude with a bow of respect.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Thank you, Lord Leon. Thanks to you, we've completed what would have been an impossible mission. Furthermore, we did not suffer a single casualty on this trip," Lord Rhuvek said with sincerity.
"As the Dark Elf Clan's seventh branch clan's leader, I cannot thank you enough. The seventh branch clan is indebted to you. So long as I am the city lord of Seventh Shelter, you will always be welcome within our walls as our friend and great benefactor."
"You are being too polite, Lord Rhuvek. Please raise your head," Leon gestured with his hand before saying, "I have my own agendas for helping your clan out."
"Even so, I still wish to show you how grateful we are," Lord Rhuvek argued stubbornly as he remained in a bowing position with a fist-palm salute.
"You didn't just help us eliminate the mutants; you also helped us open up half of D Sector, something we've been unable to do for thousands of years."
Chapter 1061 Traces Of Devil Worshippers
"Furthermore, you located the mutant's entrance location and pointed out a huge problem within our clan. And this was all done on your first day of visiting our clan. The amount of help we received from you cannot be quantified, Lord Leon. Please accept our bow of gratitude."
Shortly after Lord Rhuvek finished speaking, all the dark elves lowered their heads even further with their fist-palm gestures.
Leon had no choice but to accept their bows. It was clear that he wouldn't be able to persuade them otherwise unless he became more forceful with his words.
Nevertheless, Lord Rhuvek had reminded him of a very serious problem.
The Dark Elf Clan had traitors.
Whether their motives were related to a grudge against the clan or for some other reason for helping the mutants, Leon felt like they had something to do with the devil worshippers.
If so, that would mean that the devil worshippers had infiltrated the Dark Elf Clan for many years already.
Leon couldn't begin how many dark elves had become members of the devil-worshipping group over those years.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm 'I will have to be prudent when I visit other dark elf cities in the future. No, it's probably not just limited to the Dark Elf Clan. The devil worshippers must have infiltrated the dwarven clans as well,' Leon mused with furrowed brows.
He thought the devil worshippers were scheming something on the surface, but it seems that they have also been planning something in the Lower Abyss Domain.
However, he lacked information in regards to their motive.
"Is there a problem, Lord Leon? If it's bothering you that much, I suppose we should stop here," Lord Rhuvek scratched his ruefully.
"My apologies, Lord Rhuvek. I was thinking about another matter," Leon smiled wryly before suggesting, "We should head back to the city. There's something I would like to discuss with you."

"Right. Of course, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek agreed with a nod and said, "We haven't finished negotiating about our trade."
"Well, there's that too. But this is something more important; it's in regards to the potential traitors in your clan, Lord Rhuvek," Leon stated.
After Lord Rhuvek heard that, his expression turned solemn before nodding seriously.
"Alright. Let us head back to the city and talk. Everyone, prepare to return!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
Within a few short breaths, the dark elf platoon quickly packed all their tools and equipment into their interspatial rings.
"Everything is in order, my Lord. We are ready to move."
"Then, let us head back. We still report the completion of our mutant extermination mission, lest they send more people on a wasted trip."
"Yes, my Lord!"
…
Sometime later, the group left D Sector and returned to C Sector, where the secret entrance was. However, they didn't stay in C Sector for long before heading up to B Sector and passing A sector to return to the city.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Although Lord Rhuvek wanted to personally investigate the hole from where the mutants came from, he knew it was dangerous to embark on the unknown while being ill-prepared.
Such an important discovery concerned the entire clan. The main clan would send more experts to participate in the investigation.
"Open the gates!" Lord Rhuvek hollered outside of Howling Wind Gate.
The garrisons behind the two-layered gates quickly heard Lord Rhuvek's voice before their eyes widened with pleasant surprises. After they checked the time, they became even more surprised.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
"Open the gates!" the garrisons passed the message before everyone at Howling Wind Gate worked together.
The enormous heavy gates slowly opened, and Leon passed through alongside Lord Rhuvek and the dark elf platoon walking several paces behind them.
At the same time, the fairies in the area quickly passed words of the city lord's return to the rest of the city. Everyone that caught the news was overjoyed and left their work to welcome back the city lord and city elites.
"We welcome back the city lord and city elites!" a warm welcome quickly greeted Lord Rhuvek's group as they entered the city and trekked down the main road.
The city lord's return could only signify the completion of their mutant-extermination mission. They wouldn't be returning otherwise.
Even though it was the third time within the week, the warm welcome did not diminish much. Returning alive from the mutant-extermination mission was something to be celebrated.
Nevertheless, the gathered crowd started to have some doubts when they saw Lord Rhuvek and the dark elf platoon return in good conditions.
According to their sources, the mutants were said to have headed for D Sector.
Given the danger of C Sector was already quite high, it was quite strange for the Lord Rhuvek and city elites to return without a single casualty—not that it was a bad thing.
"Did Lord Rhuvek abandon the mission?" a normal male dark elf doubted in a low voice.
"Idiot, don't say that! Do you want to lose your head? Do you think Lord Rhuvek is a coward? How could Lord Rhuvek abandon the mission?" another male dark elf immediately chided in a hushed tone.
As the crowd whispered amongst themselves, Lord Rhuvek noticed the situation as he was passing through the main street.
"Go and send the report to the main clan and neighboring cities. Also, someone else, go and recount the details of the trip to the people; let them know about Lord Leon's glorious feat. His tales should be shared."
After tossing out those words, Lord Rhuvek increased his pace and distance from the group before adding, "I will be returning to the palace to talk with Lord Leon. After carrying out my tasks, you can tend to your own matters."
"Understood, my Lord," the dark elf platoon complied.
…
Sometime later, Leon and Lord Rhuvek said in their respective seats within the grand hall. Elvish fruit wine was served once more, but Leon's share was quickly finished by Rainshine after it was offered.
"About the traitors in our clan, what did you want to say, Lord Leon?" Lord Rhuvek politely inquired with a serious look.
Chapter 1062 Runemaster Tower
"Since the mutant's entrance was found in a place crossed off the search list, many people find it strange," Leon started speaking.
"If they ponder deeper, they would also realize that someone tried to sabotage the search and hide the mutants' tracks. Eventually, they will also arrive at the same conclusion that there was a traitor in the clan."
"Considering Lord Rhuvek already had people sent the report to the main clan, I believe it will only be a matter of time before there's a major upheaval in the Dark Elf Clan. People will definitely look into the truth behind the sabotaged investigation."
"When that happens, you will most likely be in danger, Lord Rhuvek," Leon stated.
"Do you think there will be other traitors aiming for life because I—no, because you found the mutants' entrance, Lord Leon? But in that case, the traitors should be aiming for you," Lord Rhuvek thought with furrowed brows.
"Perhaps, they would," Leon didn't deny the possibility before adding, "However, I won't be staying in your city for long. After completing our first trade, I plan to return to the surface to finish some businesses of my own."
"And while I am gone, the traitors will naturally think of you, the one who allowed the report and findings to go through and reach the main clan and the clan leader himself," Leon stated.
After Lord Rhuvek heard that, he frowned deeply.
Lord Leon had a point.
However, there was one that Lord Leon missed – or at least, Lord Rhuvek believed Lord Leon missed.
"It might be as bad as you think, Lord Leon. If the hidden traitors truly aim for my life, it would prove that there are more traitors within the clan. I doubt that is what the traitors would want," Lord Rhuvek said before adding, "Besides, I am a Mid Paragon. Few dark elves are my opponents."
2023年の世界で最も売れた自動車トップ20のうち,半数が日本車で,1位の車種は64%の成長を達成しました.TOPSSEEK
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Although Lord Rhuvek is a Paragon, we don't know the number of traitors nor their strength," Leon argued.
"I don't want to sound pessimistic or alarmist, but the traitors could be anyone. It could be another city lord or even multiple city lords. Thus, there is still a certain level of danger posed to your life. It would be in your best interest to be careful."
"Furthermore, your thinking is too simple, Lord Rhuvek. Do you really believe that a single person could have blindsided the whole Dark Elf Clan regarding the mutants' tracks for so many years? There must be more than one accomplice."
"The traitors will still target you regardless of whether the clan knows about them or not," Leon stated.
However, Lord Rhuvek was confused.
"But what can the traitors achieve with my death?" Lord Rhuvek furrowed his brows and said, "I doubt the traitors would simply target my life out of pettiness for making the report to the main clan."
"If the traitors are trying to destroy the clan or achieve something by working with the mutants, they should be aiming for something bigger. They won't achieve anything with my death and would also risk exposing themselves in the process."
"You are underestimating your self-worth, and you are also underestimating my worth, Lord Rhuvek," Leon calmly stated.
"What do you mean, Lord Leon?"
"You sent your men to report the details of your findings and the completion of the mission, Lord Rhuvek. The whole Dark Elf Clan will know that I helped you eliminate the mutants and slaughtered over a thousand Paragon-level insects."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"Do you think the traitors would want to keep someone connected to such a powerful person who interferes with their plans alive?"
"Probably not," Lord Rhuvek frowned. He understood Lord Leon's reasoning, but he still found it a bit farfetched.
"Nevertheless, I am just stating a possibility. There's no telling what the traitors would do when we know so little about them. But just because it's a possibility, it doesn't mean you should ignore it, Lord Rhuvek."
"Right…" Lord Rhuvek nodded.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
Sometime later, Leon and Lord Rhuvek moved on to discuss their trade. Leon was prepared to make a generous offer for the Dark Elf Clan's runic knowledge.
However, Lord Rhuvek was too embarrassed to take anything from Leon after all the help they received from him.
Thus, Leon was permitted to freely peruse the runic knowledge from their Runemaster Tower's library without a price. But if he wanted to take any tome out of the library, he would have to pay an adequate price.
Nevertheless, did not need to take anything out of the library; he simply needed to record a copy in the Archive.
Thinking how he was about to obtain the seventh branch clan's entire runic knowledge for free, Leon insisted on giving Lord Rhuvek a sizeable amount of sea monster meat.
Whether it was out of guilt or not, it wasn't a bad idea to build more goodwill with Lord Rhuvek and the Dark Elf Clan's seventh branch.
"Since Lord Leon insists, I have no choice but to accept," Lord Rhuvek politely received the huge lump of sea monster meat. After he stored it inside his interspatial storage, he asked, "Would you like to visit our Runemaster Tower's library now, Lord Leon?"
"If you have no other matters to discuss with me, Lord Rhuvek," Leon calmly nodded.
Although Lord Rhuvek still had many things he wanted to learn from Leon, he chose not to delay Leon's business.
"No, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek shook his head before suddenly recalling, "Oh right, please keep this on you and display it when you wish to visit our city or use any of our public facilities. The people will not inconvenience you."
A white crystal was handed to Leon. It contained some runic information stored inside and appeared to be a type of status plate for identification.
"When the dark elves of the seventh branch clan see the displayed information in the white crystal, they will give you the same respect as they give me," Lord Rhuvek added.
"I see. Thank you, Lord Rhuvek. This will be helpful."
"Haha, it's nothing compared to the help we received from you. Now, let me guide you to our Runemaster Tower."
"Alright."
Leon calmly agreed with a nod.
Chapter 1063 Keepers Of Knowledge
Leon arrived in front of the seventh branch clan's Runemaster Tower several minutes later under Lord Rhuvek's personal lead. The Runemaster Tower was just adjacent to the palace.
However, the Runemaster Tower was not how Leon imagined it to be.
The Runemaster Tower in front of him only had three floors. It was not very tall, nor was it very big. It didn't seem like a place that would contain a lot of runic knowledge.
Nevertheless, that was just a misconception based on the Runemaster Tower's outward appearance.
After entering the Runemaster Tower's main entrance, Leon understood the Runemaster Tower was an inverted tower.
It didn't have many floors above ground but many floors below ground.
In fact, that was not a single tome or book of knowledge on the top three floors, the ground floor included. All the runic tomes and books were stored on the massive cylindrical bookshelf running through the floors below ground level.
Just by looking at the sheer number of tomes and books on the floors below, Leon found it hard to believe that they were all related to runes.
Even if the Dark Elf Clan collected every single copy of books and tomes written about runic knowledge from tier 1 to tier 6, he doubted it would still be enough to fill the massive bookshelf below.
As if Lord Rhuvek could guess what Leon was thinking about, he started to explain, "Although this is called the Runemaster Tower, not every piece of knowledge stored here is related to runes."
"We've stored every piece of knowledge we've ever collected in the Lower Abyss Domain and knowledge from the surface when our Dark Elf Clan still lived on the surface. Lord Leon will find knowledge from every category of interest in this place."
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
"Are all Runemaster Towers in your Dark Elf Clan like this?" Leon asked with surprise.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "That's right, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek nodded and said, "The Runemaster Towers in the other branch cities have libraries like this one. However, the library at the main clan is even bigger than the one you see here."
"Even bigger, huh?" Leon smiled wryly and commented, "The Dark Elf Clan has collected quite the wealth of knowledge over the years, huh?"
"We are quite proud of our collection—if nothing else. After all, while other races rise and fall every several hundred to thousands of years, our Dark Elf Clan have persisted for tens of thousands of years. We should have something to show for it," Lord Rhuvek said proudly.
"Your Dark Elf Clan could even be called the Keepers of Knowledge with this kind of collection," Leon commented with a wry smile.
Just as Lord Rhuvek had said, the Dark Elf Clan had persisted for tens of thousands of years.
Even if their situation couldn't be said to be prosperous, they had existed long enough to fill their massive libraries with such cumulation of knowledge.
"That is quite a good title, Lord Leon. If we don't have the dwarven clans to rival us, I would very much like to claim such a title for our Dark Elf Clan," Lord Rhuvek expressed his approval and fondness for the title.
"Alas, although I have never visited any of the dwarven clans, they had persisted through the ages like our Dark Elf Clan. I'm sure their libraries wouldn't be inferior to ours. If there is anything we can claim superior to them in terms of our libraries, it would be aesthetics and maintenance."
As Leon stood at the edge of the ground floor with his arms rested on the handrail, he observed the cleanliness of the library below.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Dozens of glowing fairies flew about with dusters in hand as they made sure every part of the massive cylindrical bookshelf was spotless.
The place was practically sparkling clean.
"Your people do seem meticulous enough in keeping the place clean," Leon commented with a nod.
Lord Rhuvek slightly smiled.
"Well then, I better get going and not take up any more of your precious time, Lord Leon. Please enjoy your time in the library. I will make sure no one disturbs you during your stay here."
Shortly after, Lord Rhuvek made a signal to the library guardian with his hand. After the library guardian, who was a male fairy, received the signal, he understood Lord Rhuvek's intention and informed all the fairies and guests in the library to be mindful of Leon's presence.
Lord Rhuvek left the Runemaster Tower a few moments later.
With all the arrangements in place, Leon quickly headed down and started scanning all the books and tomes placed on the massive bookshelf, one floor at a time.
Constant new knowledge, as well as old ones, poured into the Archive and updated it. All of the knowledge was related to runes.
However, as Leon steadily moved down to the lower floors, he came across books and scriptures on primordial cultivation methods, battle skills, and martial arts.
There was also history and knowledge pertaining to the other professions, such as alchemy and formations.
Surprisingly, there were also storybooks.
Although they didn't contain a shred of useful knowledge, they contained hidden values the authors wanted to impart through their stories.
Leon wasn't interested in reading them, but it was a different story for Maya. That bookworm would definitely love to have more stories to read.
'Looks like I won't be pestered by Maya for some time after I collect a copy of all these stories,' Leon thought with mild amusement.
Meanwhile, the library guardian and other fairy cleaners glanced at Leon from time to time. At first, it was simple curiosity. But then, it changed to surprise, confusion, and finally, doubts.
'Did this person come to read books or just stare at them?' the library guardian and fairy cleaners wondered.
Nevertheless, they had already received Lord Rhuvek's instruction not to disturb Leon. Thus, no one could approach the person in question to ask—not even check if the person needed any help.
From their perspective, it seemed like Leon was lost and wasn't sure what he was looking for.
Chapter 1064 Nightingale's Transformation
Leon spent a few hours walking around the library without personally touching a single book on the shelves. He used his divine sense and Divine Book of Life to scan everything covertly.
Even after Leon finished recording everything in the library and leaving the Runemaster Tower, the library guardian and other fairies in the library had no idea what Leon was doing.
"What the heck was that about?" the library guardian uttered.
The fairies also glanced at each other with evident confusion. The person strolled through the library without touching a single book before leaving.
What did the person even come to the library for?
…
After leaving the Runemaster Tower, Leon and Rainshine quietly left the city without informing Lord Rhuvek of his departure.
With the white crystal status plate given to him, Captain Dhithres and dark elven soldiers made way for him and opened the silver gate without a word.
On the top balcony of the palace, Lord Rhuvek quickly received word of Leon's departure from the fairy messengers before he softly sighed.
'Since Lord Leon is leaving to take care of his matters on the surface, I better start watching out for myself…' Lord Rhuvek mused before his eyes shimmered with cold gloominess.
The Dark Elf Clan was no longer safe, and the people he had to watch out for were his own clan members. It was ridiculous that there were even people helping or working with the mutants.
Nevertheless, given how long the traitors had been around, they would have already tried to destroy the Dark Elf Clan if they wanted to.
Since nothing significant had happened besides the mutants' tracks being hidden, Lord Rhuvek could only guess that the traitors lacked the strength or the timing was not right.
'This situation makes me uneasy,' Lord Rhuvek frowned. He couldn't understand what could have driven dark elves to help or work with the mutants.
'I should start looking into the history of every clan member that may have suffered injustice in the city. They are most likely to hold a grudge against the clan,' Lord Rhuvek thought.
2023年の世界で最も売れた自動車トップ20のうち,半数が日本車で,1位の車種は64%の成長を達成しました.TOPSSEEK
Before dealing with the rest of the traitors in the Dark Elf Clan, he had to root out the ones that may be hidden in his city.
However, just as Lord Rhuvek had that thought, a fairy messenger flew over to deliver a message from Howling Wind Gate.
"My Lord, the clan leader summons you to the main clan to give your testimony regarding the report of your expedition," the fairy messenger reported.
"The clan leader… wants my presence in the main clan? Using the long-range communicator isn't enough?" Lord Rhuvek was startled before he thought, "I suppose it is that serious of a matter."
"Arrange for my departure."
"Yes, my Lord."
The fairy messenger quickly complied after receiving the order.
After the fairy messenger left, Lord Rhuvek overlooked the city from his balcony with a distant look before he furrowed his brows with concern.
He couldn't help but feel like his trip to the main clan will be a perilous one.
…

After Leon left Seventh Shelter with Rainshine and returned to the seemingly bottomless abyss, he began making his ascent to the surface.
He reached the thick tree root and vine region in no time and slowly made his way through with wood manipulation.
"Are we going to be alright, Master? There's a Half-step Divine Beast in this region, wasn't there?" Rainshine suddenly asked.
"If it didn't attack us the first time, I don't think it will attack us the second time either. We should be fine," Leon replied.
That being said, he was not one to rely on luck solely. That would be dangerous. He was prepared to use the White Luminosity Eternal Flame at a moment's notice.

Leon spread out his divine sense to the limit and held the pseudo-Tier-7 Fire Lamp in hand.
However, Half-step Divine Beast-level Wood Serpent was nowhere to be seen. Leon and Rainshine traveled through the woody region without an issue.
Although the trip was smooth as the first time passing through the region, Leon felt like something was off.
He wondered if the Half-step Divine Beast-level Wood Serpent actually existed.
Nevertheless, after passing through the region, Leon quickly pushed aside the thought and reached the abyss entrance.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Welcome back, my Lord. We were beginning to worry about your absence," an unfamiliar beautiful woman greeted subserviently with her head lowered.
She had pale skin, long black hair, a pair of eyes as black as the abyss, two dragon horns protruding back from the side of her temples, and partial black dragon scales all over her naked body.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, the beautiful woman was the same height as Leon.
Although she seemed frail, her body exuded a terrifyingly powerful dragon aura. It gave others the illusion that her body was indestructible.
Nevertheless, Leon couldn't help but glance up and down at her bare body with a gaping mouth before he quickly took out a spare cloak and draped it over her body.
"Quickly put this on," Leon quickly passed her some spare clothes to wear before asking for confirmation, "You are Nightingale, right?"
"Yes, my Lord," Nightingale nodded.
She accepted Leon's clothes and wore them clumsily in front of him, causing the cloak to drop to the ground and reveal her body again.
Nevertheless, her body was eventually covered by her new clothes, albeit with some tears, as she failed to control her immense strength. The clothes were like tissues to her, very soft and tearable.
Meanwhile, Rainshine stared at Nightingale with wide eyes as she uttered with sheer disbelief, "You're the black earth dragon from before?!"
"That is correct, little one," Nightingale calmly nodded.
Leon didn't expect Nightingale to master the Divine Beast Transformation Art so quickly. It went beyond his imagination that Nightingale could achieve human form so quickly.
It was almost magical.
The Divine Beast Transformation Art that he passed to Nightingale from Maya must have been superior to the Divine Beast Arts used by those in the Divine Realm.
Otherwise, Nightingale's comprehension talent was simply overwhelming.
Chapter 1065 Expanding Core
Of course, Nightingale's speedy transformation could have been due to another factor – celestial energy.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm It was the only thing Leon wasn't familiar with, having yet to reach the Celestial Realm for himself.
Nevertheless, after Rainshine saw Nightingale's transformation, her eyes started to beam with excitement and anticipation.
"Master, can I also transform like Nightingale?" Rainshine inquired.
"If you become a Divine Beast and practice the Divine Beast Transformation Art like Nightingale, probably," Leon casually replied before casting a curious glance at her. "Why are you so excited?"
"Eh? Uh… It looks like a lot of fun," Rainshine said evasively.
Nevertheless, Leon's return quickly drew the attention of Cindertail and the other Golden Suannis in the area.
"Welcome back, my Lord," Dawnchaser greeted before reporting with an expectant gaze, "We've finished destroying all the mutant plant hives in the abyss while you were gone."
"All of them, huh?" Leon muttered thoughtfully. He could understand what Dawnchaser desired from his gaze.
"Yes, my Lord. All 829 caves containing the mutant plant hives have been cleared," Dawnchaser eagerly answered.
"That many?" Leon uttered with a bit of surprise before he quickly recovered. "Alright, how do you want to be rewarded for your service?"
Dawnchaser had been waiting for that question.
However, contrary to Leon's expectation, Dawnchaser did not seek a reward for himself. Instead, he hoped Leon could raise more Divine Beasts in the Golden Suanni Clan.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
"I hope you can perform more blood refinements for the other Peak Paragons in our clan and give them a chance to ascend to the Divine Beast Realm, my Lord," Dawnchaser earnestly hoped.
"Oh? Not for yourself?" Leon shifted his gaze to Goldenstride and the other Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis and asked, "Do you all have the same wish too?"
"Yes, my Lord," Goldenstride and the other Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis answered.
"Very well, I will perform blood refinement for everyone at the Paragon level," Leon agreed. But then, he shortly added, "However, it will have to wait. It wasn't long since the last time everyone received blood refinement. The following blood refinement will not be as effective."
It hasn't been a whole day since he left and returned. The Golden Suanni Clan needed a bigger buffer time for the Suanni Lion Origin Blood from their last blood refinement to permeate their body and grow.
"I understand, my Lord. When would be a good time," Dawnchaser asked.
Leon pondered for a moment before saying, "I plan to cultivate in the sky for some time. When I return, we can start the blood refinement then."
"Understood, my Lord."
Shortly after, Leon dismissed everyone before returning his attention to Nightingale.
"Since you've mastered the Divine Beast Transformation Art and achieved human form, you'll need to adapt some human etiquette. It's inappropriate to be walking around naked all the time," Leon stated.
He took out a spare Tier-5 Interspatial Ring with some spare sets of clothes before handing them over to Nightingale.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"Use this for the time being. Once I finish my cultivation session, you will follow me to learn the ways of humans and, of course, get some new clothes."
"Understood, my Lord. Then, I shall wait for you to finish your cultivation."
Nightingale accepted the Tier-5 Interspatial Ring and wore it on her index finger.
After dropping Rainshine off his shoulder, Leon flew out of the abyss and soared into the sky. Within moments, he disappeared into the thick black clouds.
The suppressive force from the sky quickly increased by the moment. But after he summoned the Nihility Barrier, the suppressive force vanished.
Leon continued his ascent, and before long, he reached the top of the black clouds and exposed himself to the intense sunlight.
However, the Nihility Barrier protected his body from all harm coming from the intense sunlight, which could even melt through steel.
The concentration of Wrathful Demon Energy in the atmosphere was staggering. It was practically a sea—no, it was an ocean of Wrathful Demon Energy.
'With this much Wrath Demon Energy, it might be possible to collect enough dark energy to breakthrough to Truth Manifestation Realm,' Leon mused.
He couldn't guess how much dark energy he needed for the breakthrough, but he felt like he could gather an endless source of dark energy from the Wrathful Demon Energy in his present location.
Generally, the energy from the stars should have been full of pure yang; there shouldn't have been a single ounce of dark energy like the current sun at all.
This was only possible because the sun had been refined by a demonic cultivator with one of Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's awakened soul fragments.
After Leon made a hole in the black clouds, all the Wrathful Demon Energy in the area rushed towards the hole like a sink full of water that had just been unplugged.
Leon partially released his Nihility Barrier, only protecting his head from the downpour of energy as he devoured the Wrathful Demon Energy from all other directions.
Everything was swallowed inside his Black Vortex Space and broken down into their separate components of solar energy, dark energy, and comprehension fragments of the Wrath Law.
As they filled Leon's Black Vortex Space, he only collected the dark energy and practiced the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness.
The refined dark energy was quickly added to his dark energy core.
But as the dark energy core received large volumes of dark energy, it steadily grew in size, causing Leon to frown.
He had reached the peak stage of Heaven Ascension Realm, and yet his dark energy core was still growing. The dark energy core should have reached its size limit already.
However, no matter how much Leon tried to compress the dark energy inside his dark energy core, it wouldn't stop the core's growth.
If he wanted to advance to the Truth Manifestation Realm, his dark energy core had to be compressed until it sprouts like a plant seed.
But looking at his current situation, it might not be possible if his dark energy core doesn't stop expanding. He didn't understand why it was still expanding at the Peak-stage of Heaven Ascension Realm.
'Could it be that my dark energy core hasn't reached its growth limit yet?' Leon pondered.
Chapter 1066 Immeasurable Potential
After Leon had that thought, he started to frown.
Even if it was confirmed that his dark energy core had yet to hit its growth limit, there wasn't much room left for its expansion.
His energy center, or elixir field, which was located behind his glabella, only had so much space to contain the dark energy core.
Once the space is completely used up, the dark energy core would start pushing against the walls of his energy center.
Assuming that the dark energy core doesn't stop expanding, it would damage his energy center or even cripple it.
Although he could do without an energy center, he wasn't completely sure if it would affect his mental abilities.
After all, the energy center wasn't far from the entry point to his sea of consciousness. In fact, they could even be considered neighbors.
If his ability to use Divine Will is affected by a crippled energy center, it will become a serious issue in regard to his future cultivation.
More importantly, Leon realized another problem.
Even if his dark energy core stopped expanding without affecting the walls of his energy center, his dark energy core still needed more room to sprout. And it would only continue to grow from that point onward.
The amount of space he needed didn't seem to be possible with his energy center.
If his energy center had transformed into an inner world through the Divine Realm's energy path of divine cultivation, he would have all the space he wanted.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
However, an inner world cannot be created without first collapsing the energy core and reaching the Void Realm, which in and of itself was a huge risk that caused many divine practitioners to lose their life.
But if he collapsed his dark energy core, he wouldn't be able to sprout. More importantly, he would definitely die from the eruption of dark energy.
After all, his energy core was comprised of dark energy and not spirit energy. He wouldn't be able to form an inner world with dark energy.
'Looking at all the notes on the Truth Manifestation Realm—no, even the Heaven Ascension Realm, my dark energy core is already considered abnormally big. Although a bigger energy core is relative to one's potential, my dark energy core has already surpassed the supposed abnormal range…'
As Leon browsed through the vast collection of history in the Archive with his secondary divine consciousness, he became more aware of his difference from others.
His situation was unprecedented.
'There doesn't seem to be anyone in history who had an energy core as big as mine. Furthermore, my dark energy core is still expanding…!' Leon frowned.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm If he thought about it, he was probably also the first in history to cultivate so many primordial cultivation methods at once.
Hegemon of Primal Chaos, Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, Everlasting Blood Mantra, Black Turtle Heavenly Guard, Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method, and Suanni Lion Bone Forging Method…
Not to mention his laws, just practicing any one of these primordial cultivation methods could be considered as possessing a godly talent in and of itself.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
In other words, his body wielded six types of godly talent. His body's potential was simply immeasurable.
Nevertheless, knowing his immeasurable potential only allowed Leon to understand why his dark energy core was still expanding. It doesn't help him resolve the problem.
'Possessing many godly talents might not necessarily be a good thing. If one cannot harmonize them, one could be ruined by them on the treacherous path of cultivation,' Leon thought.
'The energy center has always been used to store energy for energy cultivation because it is connected to many channels and easy to control the flow of energy... However, martial artists in the lower realms use other places as energy centers…'
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
'There are three known energy centers called the upper, middle, and lower energy centers… The upper energy center is in the glabella, the middle energy center is in the heart, and the lower energy center is in the stomach…'
'However, in body cultivation, these three energy centers are also the locations for opening three of the eight hidden gates…' Leon frowned.
His cultivation was problematic, to begin with. By cultivating multiple paths, they were bound to intersect and conflict.
'The upper energy center is actually the location of the first gate, the Wisdom Gate. Even if I push through with my energy cultivation, I might not be able to open my Wisdom Gate in the future…'
Nevertheless, that problem only exists if his dark energy core stays continues to occupy his upper energy center.
'An energy center is just a place to store energy. As long as I can draw and store energy from my dark energy core without an issue, it doesn't actually matter where I place it,' Leon mused.
After pondering for some time, Leon had already found a solution to his problem.
There was no better place to put his dark energy core and make it his new energy center than the Black Vortex Space.
The Black Vortex Space was spacious as an inner world and ever-expanding. It was, without a doubt, the best place to nurture his dark energy core.
'The problem is moving the core. This might have been difficult… but fortunately, my Spatial Law is at least at the Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent Realm.'
After focusing his mind, Leon wielded the Spatial Law to transfer his dark energy core to the Black Vortex Space and place it in a spot far from the 'energy grinder' and his soul core so they wouldn't affect or interfere with each other.
Once the dark energy core settled in its new energy center, Leon resumed absorption and refinement of dark energy without reservation.
At that moment, the dark energy core was already 50% bigger than the average divine cultivators at the Peak-stage Heaven Ascension Realm.
But as Leon steadily devoured Wrathful Demon Energy from the atmosphere and poured the dark energy into his dark energy core, it increased to twofold the average core size.
However, even then, it did not stop there. The dark energy core continued to expand along with his future potential.
Leon started to feel afraid of his own terrifying talents.
His potential was simply limitless.
Chapter 1067 Truth Manifestation Tree
Wrathful Demon Energy continued to rush towards Leon like water from the opening of the floodgates. The sheer amount wasn't something a normal person could digest at once.
However, Leon swallowed as much as the Wrathful Demon Energy threw themselves at him.
Just like Leon himself, his Black Vortex Space was an abnormal existence. It devoured everything with a bottomless appetite and continuously churned out dark energy for him to refine.
Nevertheless, Leon had sorely underestimated his dark energy core's growth potential limit. Twofold was just the beginning.
As time flowed, the dark energy core increased threefold, then fourfold.
At that point, the dark energy core's size increased at a noticeably slower rate as the dark energy within became denser and compacted instead.
Ultimately, the dark energy core stopped growing in size after reaching fivefold.
'I am definitely at the Peak stage of Heaven Ascension Realm now…' Leon silently determined as he continued to gather dark energy for his breakthrough.
After increasing to fivefold, the dark energy core became fragile like glass. As such, Leon slightly lowered his absorption speed and proceeded with care.
But as his fivefold dark energy core regained its density, it became hard as a rock. It became increasingly difficult to compress dark energy into his dark energy core from that point onward.
No, it was more accurate to say that the difficulty skyrocketed.
'It seems like I am finally reaching the absolute limit of energy compression now… But would my dark energy core sprout like a seed once I surpass the limit? I feel like it will just crack and explode…' Leon furrowed his brows.
Fortunately, he had placed his dark energy core in a spot that wasn't directly in line with his soul core.
Thus, even if he failed and caused his dark energy core to explode, the Black Vortex Space would swallow the eruption of energy.
Due to his lack of knowledge, there were potential risks. Still, his safety was ensured. He could proceed fearlessly.
'I have already reviewed the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness many times. It's time to take the final step,' Leon decided with resolution.
He followed the next step in the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness and activated the dark power with his dark energy core.
Due to its high density, it was incredibly difficult to manipulate the dark power in the very center of his dark energy core.
Nevertheless, with the sheer might of his Divine Will, Leon overcame the challenge.
The dark power in the heart of his dark energy core twisted and turned, revolving in a very specific yet omnidirectional pattern.
As a result, a sphere of revolving dark power was formed within the core of the dark energy core.
He was trying to create the embryo that would give his life to his dark energy core and allow it to sprout like a newborn plant, according to the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness.
Nevertheless, Leon was missing one crucial component to finalizing his goal. Fortunately for him, he had just what the embryo needed.
All primordial cultivation methods required True Grandmist Energy to achieve the maximum benefits of the primordial cultivation methods. The Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness was no exception to that.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Leon started channeling dozens of True Grandmist Energy threads into the dark energy core and forced them to worm their way to the embryo.
The True Grandmist Energy threads were quickly caught in the rapidly revolving embryo before being pulled straight into its center like a vacuum.
When that happened, it was like a miracle drop of water on a dry plant during a drought, causing a miraculous change to take place as the embryo came to life.
That being said, Leon could not help but think the process was similar to how humans create life—if he was to ignore the fact that the embryo didn't actually come to life.
It was just a metaphorical term for the change taking place within the embryo.
As Leon continued to feed threads of True Grandmist Energy to the embryo, it transformed into a swirling tempest.
In that instant, it started pulling in the surrounding dark energy within the dark energy core, like bits of dirt and debris being ripped off the rock walls.
Afterward, the swirling tempest of energy quickly grew and drilled its way out of the dark energy core like a hatching egg.
Ka-cha!
The top of the dark energy core cracked open as the swirling tempest rushed out like a powerful eruption.
But as it did, it lost its form and scattered like countless black lightning strikes branching out from the dark energy core's opening while solidifying rapidly at the same time.
Gradually, the momentum died down until it completely stopped, and what became of Leon's dark energy core was a 1500-feet black tree of darkness.
It didn't have any leaves and didn't look alive, but it could definitely be felt. The tree of darkness overflowed with power as clouds of dark energy poured out from its branches.
However, the dark energy was not the same as moments ago.
It was thick like lead yet formless like the clouds and contained a certain depth and richness of power that completely eclipsed its former self.
The dark energy had undergone a huge qualitative transformation.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm 'Is this what it feels like to step into the Truth Manifestation Realm with a fivefold dark energy core?' Leon felt an endless source of power coming from his tree of darkness.
'The average cultivator was said to possess a 300-feet tree of energy called the Truth Manifestation Tree upon reaching the Truth Manifestation Realm, but mine grew to 1500-feet…'
It was definitely not something that would have fitted inside the confinement of his upper energy center – or so Leon thought.
However, the space around his 1500-feet Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was warped like a special barrier.
Within the spatial barrier was an expansive space for the 1500-feet Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness to grow endlessly and only occupied very little space outside of the special barrier in the Black Vortex Space.
'Seems like my worries were for nothing,' Leon smiled wryly.
Nevertheless, moving the dark energy core to his Black Vortex Space was something he had to do regardless of whether the tree could fit in his upper energy center or not.
Chapter 1068 Unforeseen Crisis
After reaching the next Truth Manifestation Realm, the next step in the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness was to nurture and bear the first fruit of law, the fruit of the Darkness Law, on the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
However, Leon wasn't in a hurry to complete the next step.
Instead, Leon focused on studying his 1500-feet Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness to gauge his present strength and potential.
'Although a Truth Manifestation Tree can grow much bigger than its initial starting point, its initial starting point also determines how big it can grow,' Leon mused.
And according to the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, a 300-feet Truth Manifestation Tree is the bare requirement to reach the True Divinity Realm.
Any less than 300 feet was considered flawed.
To reach Beyond True Divinity Realm, a 600-feet Truth Manifestation Tree was required upon stepping into the Truth Manifestation Realm.
Following that trend, Leon assumed a 900-feet Truth Manifestation Tree would give one the potential to surpass Beyond True Divinity.
Nevertheless, that was just blind speculation on Leon's end. He wouldn't know what is required unless he personally reached that realm one day.
Even so, it still showed that his 1500-feet tall Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness had the endless potential to reach that peak and beyond.
'According to the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness, every fold increase of the initial tree size is a breakthrough to the next stage…' Leon recalled.
That would mean 600 feet is the standard for Mid-stage Truth Manifestation Realm, 900 feet for Late-stage Truth Manifestation Realm, and 1200 feet for Peak-stage Truth Manifestation Realm.
However, Leon's Truth Manifestation Tree was beyond that.
2023年の世界で最も売れた自動車トップ20のうち,半数が日本車で,1位の車種は64%の成長を達成しました.TOPSSEEK
'The moment I stepped into Truth Manifestation Realm, I already have the energy capacity of someone half a step into the Divine Origin Realm, huh? Not bad.'
Leon understood that possessing the energy capacity of someone half a step into the Divine Origin Realm was not the equivalent of possessing the strength of one at the Half-step Divine Origin.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm It just means that he had a much bigger energy reserve than the average cultivators at the early stage of the Truth Manifestation Realm.
'Without bearing my first fruit of law, I won't be able to wield the true strength of someone in the Truth Manifestation Realm. It's time to take the next step,' Leon decided.
As its name suggests, the Truth Manifestation Tree was a tree that manifested the truth. Feeding energy to the tree would slowly manifest the law of that respective energy on its empty branches.
As such, even if one doesn't understand the law itself, one can still utilize the power of laws through the Truth Manifestation Tree.
Considering Leon's Truth Manifestation Tree was born from his dark energy, feeding dark energy to the tree doesn't just nurture his fruit of the Darkness Law; it also grows the tree itself.
However, simply feeding dark energy to the Truth Manifestation Tree was the slowest way to manifest the law. Only those who lack comprehension of laws would rely on feeding energy to the tree to acquire the power of laws.
'Since I've already reached the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm in the Darkness Law, I can use my comprehension of the Darkness Law to quickly nurture my first fruit of the Darkness Law.'
After Leon had that thought, he immediately followed through with it.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
There was not much difference between a law fruit and a law seed; the only difference was the way they were formed.
However, something unexpected happened when Leon channeled dark power from his Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent-level Darkness Law towards the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
The dark power was swallowed by the Black Vortex Space's 'grinder,' the Black Vortex situated between them.
'This…' Leon was immediately at a loss for what to do.
He watched the dark power disappear into the Black Vortex for refinement like all the other Wrathful Demon Energy that entered the Black Vortex Space.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
Nevertheless, Leon was shortly relieved after seeing the Black Vortex spit the dark power back out without any apparent changes to it.
Afterward, the dark power proceeded to reach the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness as intended before it was quickly devoured from the roots where his dark energy core used to be.
From there, the dark power slowly flowed through the roots, up the trunk, and along the branches in a vein-like pattern before it gathered on the tip of a single branch, where it quickly formed the fruit of the Darkness Law at a noticeable rate.
But as the fruit of the Darkness Law was steadily forming, Leon frowned at the profound connection being established between the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, the Black Vortex Space, and the soul core containing all his laws.
And as the profound connection strengthened, a tugging force pulled the three entities together.
Leon was immediately alarmed by the change.
However, no matter how he tried to stop the connection, it was already well beyond his abilities to control the situation.
Even without doing anything, dark power was channeled out of his soul core, into the Black Vortex, and proceeded to be devoured by the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
No, it wasn't quite channeling.
It was more accurate to say the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness drew the dark power out of his soul core.
The three entities each had a protective barrier to repel and prevent interference with each other. But after the profound connection was formed, they were attracted to each other instead!
'This is bad!' Leon mentally cried with alarm.
He didn't dare imagine what would happen once the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and his soul core were dragged into the Black Vortex.
They would most likely be shredded into pieces.
He wasn't concerned if his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was destroyed. After all, he can just start over.
However, if his soul core was shredded, he would most likely die. It was the essence of his soul, his being, his existence!
"Dammit! Why is this happening?!' Leon urgently pondered for a solution.
Chapter 1069 Tripartite Fusion
Time ticked as the three entities inched closer and closer to each other as if they were being pulled towards the Black Vortex.
However, that was not quite the case.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was trying to wrestle the Darkness Transcendent Crystal from the soul core—only for the soul core's position to be unshakeable.
As a result, the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was pulled towards the soul core along with the Black Vortex, which acted as the bridge between them instead.
But even though the soul core was firm in its place, Leon could still feel the strain coming from his Darkness Transcendental Crystal wanting to be ripped out of his soul core.
The harder he tried to fight the attraction of the three entities, the bigger the strain and the greater the pain inflicted on his soul.
And if he fought too hard to prevent the attraction, his soul core might just collapse from the Darkness Transcendental Crystal getting ripped out along with the dark power being drawn from it.
'I can't stop this change from happening!' Leon inwardly roared with desperation.
His special soul core, Black Vortex Space, and the 1500-feet tall Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness were all unique existences that had rarely or never appeared in history before.
As such, no amount of knowledge would have prepared him to anticipate such a situation would happen.
There was no guide for trailblazers; they were the guides for others.
The path he walked had not been tread before.
2023年の世界で最も売れた自動車トップ20のうち,半数が日本車で,1位の車種は64%の成長を達成しました.TOPSSEEK
'Since I can't fight it, I will embrace it!' Leon's eyes suddenly flashed with ruthlessness.
In that instance, he stopped resisting the attraction between the soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and the Black Vortex.
Whether he resisted or not didn't change the rate of attraction; it only inflicted pain on his soul instead.
The Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness inched closer to the soul core at an ever-increasing rate, but the distance between the two and the Black Vortex also shortened relatively.
Ultimately, it was the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Leon's soul core being drawn together, except his soul core does not and cannot move. The soul core had always been situated in the center of his sea of consciousness, and that fact would never change.
It was the Black Vortex he needed to worry about; it was the bridge that was bringing the two together and was also the source of the danger.
Leon halted his side tasks and used all 400% of his divine consciousness to grasp the chance at life.
The clash between his soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex was inevitable. His only choice was to harmonize the three so they don't conflict and destroy each other.
Otherwise, the only outcome was the death of his soul.
As the soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex inched ever closer, Leon's mind raced for a solution—and there, he found it, a solution.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
'If I can pull this off, I can't imagine how much stronger I will become,' Leon's eyes brightened at once after grasping the chance at life.
Nevertheless, that chance at life was just an idea.
After quickly planning the steps to pull it off and carefully reviewing the overall process to make sure the theory was plausible, Leon didn't hesitate to commence the plan.
After all, time was ticking.
Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com
The powerful Black Vortex was capable of breaking many things down into their most basic and purest forms.
However, that is only the case when they contacted the Black Vortex and were devoured by it. There was a small space within the eye of the Black Vortex that was completely safe from the Black Vortex.
The 1500-feet tall Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness would have been too big to fit in the eye of the Black Vortex. But luckily, it was contained within its own private space, which was enough to fit in the eye of the Black Vortex.
The problem was moving both the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and the soul core into the eye of the Black Vortex.
Considering the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness couldn't be moved after it sprouted from the dark energy core, and the soul core couldn't be moved, to begin with, this would have indeed posed a major problem—if he didn't have a solution around it, that is.
Two entities continued drawing closer to each other as if they were being roped in—and if left be, their trajectories were headed straight for the walls of the Black Vortex on either side.
However, Leon utilized his Peak Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent-level Spatial Law and twisted space to alter the trajectory path of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Black Vortex headed for the soul core.
The Black Vortex was the first to reach Leon's soul core.
But thanks to the warped path he created, the Black Vortex arrived from the bottom of the soul core and rose toward it. The soul core slipped straight through the opening eye of the Black Vortex without movement.
Afterward, the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness followed its own warped path and descended down the eye of the Black Vortex from above and mounted right on top of Leon's soul core.
As if he had calculated it, his soul core, without moving, entered the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness's private space and occupied the position of the absent dark energy core.
In that instance, the roots of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness wrapped around the soul core.
However, Leon's soul core wasn't harmed by the contact. Instead, the connection empowered him like a power cell that had just been placed into its power slot.
It felt like the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness had become a part of his body; he gained access to all of its powers without needing to rely on his Divine Will.
At the same time, it provided a layer of protection for his soul.
All three entities of soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex had been aligned in the center of his sea of consciousness without an issue.
It was nothing short of a miracle.
Chapter 1070 Fourteen Law Fruits
After the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Leon's soul core were connected via the dark energy tree's roots, the tugging force on his Darkness Law disappeared.
Dark power freely flowed between the soul core and the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and the fruit of the Darkness Law was quickly born.
However, the fruit of the Darkness Law hanging on the branch of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness did not feel like something new.
Rather, the fruit of the Darkness Law and the Darkness Transcendent Crystal within Leon's soul core felt like one and the same thing.
It was like one entity in two places, connected by an invisible cable.
Nevertheless, the fruit of the Darkness Law was just the beginning. Shortly after it was born, the rest of Leon's laws followed.
However, his law laws didn't channel their powers to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness one at a time; it happened simultaneously.
Eleven different colored lights flowed through the roots, up the trunk, and to different branches like a rainbow magic circuit being activated.
It was quite a spectacular sight to behold.
From there, eleven new law fruits appeared on the tree's branches.
There was the Destruction Fruit, Temporal Fruit, Spatial Fruit, Death Fruit, Life Fruit, Earth Fruit, Fire Fruit, Ice Fruit, Wood Fruit, Metal Fruit, and Lightning Fruit.
Including the first fruit, the Darkness Fruit, there were twelve law fruits on the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
If not for the non-existent Nihility Law, there would have been thirteen law fruits.
Nevertheless, once the twelve law fruits were born, the grey energy ring orbiting Leon's soul core was channeled into the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.

The grey energy ring disappeared, and its various energy flowed into their respective law fruits.
The fruits hanging on the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness weren't just the manifestations of the laws but also containers of their powers.
'This is…'
Leon was stunned by an unexpected sight while observing the changes to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
Because he thought the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was great storage for his energy, he decided to feed it with a thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy.
However, it went beyond his expectations that the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness would also start to form a law fruit from the wisps of True Grandmist Energy.
'There was actually a law behind the True Grandmist Energy… No, it should have been obvious from the start. All forms of energy have a corresponding law. And yet, I overlooked this simple fact…'
Leon couldn't contain his astonishment.
Nevertheless, a thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy was hardly enough to fully manifest the fruit of the True Grandmist Law.
As such, Leon made the decision to feed all his remaining wisps of True Grandmist Energy to the Truth Manifestation Tree to nurture the fruit of the True Grandmist Law in the making.

Although the size was a bit disappointing, Leon succeeded in producing a small grey fruit that contained a glimpse of the True Grandmist Law's power and all the True Grandmist Energy he fed to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
'What exactly is the True Grandmist Law? Is it existence?' Leon thought.
However, he quickly scrapped the idea.
'No, it shouldn't be existence. True Grandmist Energy is most desired and impressive indeed, but it is nothing against the power of nothingness. Nihility's opposing law should be able to cancel out nihility instead of being destroyed by it.'
'That means True Grandmist Law shouldn't be on the same level as Nihility Law. It should be weaker… On the level of Destruction Law and Creation Law, perhaps? Or maybe it is Creation Law…' Leon pondered with a frown.
However, no amount of pondering would give him an answer.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm He could only wait to use the power of the True Grandmist Law. But even if he used its power, he might still not understand it.
After all, he did not comprehend it through awakening cultivation – or so he thought.
Perhaps because of the connection being shared between the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Leon's soul core, he could vaguely feel a seed of the True Grandmist Law forming in his soul core, albeit at a very slow rate.
Even so, it was better than nothing.
Nevertheless, Leon didn't fixate on the True Grandmist Law, nor was he done with his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness just yet.
After feeding all his True Grandmist Energy to the tree, Leon still had a huge reserve of solar energy and law fragments of the Wrath Law to go through.
He quickly started with the law fragments of the Wrath Law.
However, contrary to his prior experience with True Grandmist Energy, the blackish-red fruit of the Wrath Law was formed very quickly.
Only a tiny portion of the law fragments was needed to form the Wrath Fruit completely.
After the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness finished digesting all the law fragments of the Wrath Law, the Wrath Fruit had grown to a size that wasn't inferior to the black fruit of the Death Law.
Considering Leon had achieved the Acknowledge Paragon-stage Transcendent Realm in the Death Law, it implied that the Wrath Fruit was at a similar level.
Once the comprehension is transferred to his soul core to form the seed of the Wrath Law, he will eventually grasp the Wrath Law with minimum effort.
The notion of reaching the Acknowledge Paragon-stage Transcendent Realm in the Wrath Law simply by doing nothing except waiting was unreal.
'This Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness is truly heaven-defying… As expected of a tree that can manifest any law by eating its respective energy. It might as well be called the tree of enlightenment…' Leon mused.
He was amused by the thought of having a personal Bodhi tree.
Nevertheless, with the addition of the True Grandmist Fruit and the Wrath Fruit, Leon's Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness had birthed fourteen law fruits.
'Now there's only the solar energy left,' Leon shifted his attention to the cluster of bright energy in the corner of the Black Vortex Space.
Chapter 1071 Raging Sun
After Leon fed solar energy to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, the Solar Fruit was born without surprise. And with the birth of the Solar Fruit, he accumulated fifteen fruit laws.
Although many fruit laws had been nurtured, Leon's strength as a cultivator in the Early-stage Truth Manifestation Realm didn't necessarily increase.
However, depending on how many law fruits he used, it might just be possible for him to produce attack power well above his level.
Nevertheless, it didn't change that Leon couldn't grasp how powerful he had become exactly after reaching the early stage of the Truth Manifestation Realm and manifesting fifteen law fruits.
'If I use the all-encompassing properties of darkness to fuse multiple law powers, the force I can produce will be unfathomably powerful. I should test my ability when I get the chance,' Leon mused.
Suddenly, Leon was disturbed by the outside world, forcing him to leave the Black Vortex Space and check what was happening.
At that moment, the intense sunlight from the sun became even more intense as a thicker sea of Wrathful Demon Energy descended from the sky.
Leon's figure was immediately bathed in the sea of Wrathful Demon Energy.
However, he didn't show the slightest concern regarding its potential harm. In fact, he welcomed the influx of Wrathful Demon Energy, albeit with surprise and questions regarding the cause.
The wave of Wrathful Demon Energy rushed into his Black Vortex Space and headed straight for the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
But before it could reach the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, the wave of Wrathful Demon Energy was first refined by the Black Vortex protecting it.
The Black Vortex acted like a filter layer, purifying everything before they were allowed passage to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
Leon had noticed that after aligning the Black Vortex, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and his soul core together, his speed of absorption had increased by a notch.
As soon as the Wrathful Demon Energy was refined by the Black Vortex, it was devoured by the roots of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
Just like that, Leon received a continuous stream of dark energy, solar energy, and comprehension fragments of the Wrath Law to grow his Darkness Fruit, Solar Fruit, and Wrath Fruit.
Even his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness gradually grew to 1600 feet.
He didn't need to do anything like move the refined energy to its designated targets. He just needed to draw the Wrathful Demon Energy into his Black Vortex Space, and the rest of the work would be done for him.
No extra effort was required on his end.
His Black Vortex, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and soul had been arranged in an alignment that maximized his efficiency.
Nevertheless, after the first influx of Wrathful Demon Energy, a second and third influx came. Then a fourth and a fifth.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The influx of Wrathful Demon Energy arrived in set intervals.
The sun pulsated with waves after waves of Wrathful Demon Energy like it was raging, and Leon vaguely felt like he understood the why.
Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's soul fragment was most likely furious.
After all, the Wrathful Demon Energy contained slivers of his will. Technically, Leon was devouring a tiny part of Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's consciousness each time he refined and absorbed the Wrath Law's comprehension fragments.
Perhaps he could steal away Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's eternal state if he continued his effort.
'Although the black clouds protect everyone on the Dark Abyss Continent from the harmful sunlight, everyone else living under the sun will continue to suffer…' Leon frowned.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
'I can't continue antagonizing the sun,' Leon decided to stop devouring the Wrathful Demon Energy.
Although he could achieve swift improvement, it was not his style to cultivate at the expense of everyone else.
Shortly after Leon stopped cultivating, he patched up the black clouds and returned to the surface, landing near the central part of Gran Crevasse.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough in cultivation, my Lord!" Nightingale, Rainshine, Cindertails, and the others in the Golden Suanni Clan all welcomed Leon's return.
Although they didn't understand what kind of breakthrough Leon had achieved, they could sense some changes in his aura. It was filled with authority and pressure.
Even Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis like Dawnchaser felt some pressure from his aura.

Nevertheless, after Leon acknowledged their greetings, he said, "Since I finished my cultivation, I will perform blood refinement for everyone as promised."
"Yes, my Lord!" everyone's eyes immediately lit up. The Lord's blood refinement was always something to look forward to.
…
After a whole day of blood refinement quickly flew by, the number of Divine Beasts in the Golden Suanni Clan increased to ten.
Furthermore, several more dozens of Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis also awakened their bloodline ability.
Besides the Golden Suanni Clan, Leon also performed blood refinement on Nightingale and Rainshine.
However, neither of them experience any significant breakthroughs.
After Leon finished his blood refinement, he collected some Divine Beast-level True Dragon Origin Blood from Nightingale and Divine Beast-level Suanni Lion Origin Blood from the Dawnchaser and the other Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis to cultivate.
This allowed Leon to advance to the Early Rank 6 Body Transformation Realm in the bone-forging phase and Mid Rank 10 Body Transformation Realm in the viscera-consolidating phase.
Furthermore, Leon extracted some blood essence from the black ants and giant centipedes in his Worldspace to improve his Everlasting Blood Mantra's Fourth Stage of Regrowth by another two types of unique origin blood.
At that point, he had accumulated a total of 1838 types of origin blood, barely one-fifth of the way to mastering the Fourth Stage of Regrowth.
Nevertheless, after finishing the last bit of cultivation and stabilizing his foundation, it was time for Leon to visit the western tribes.
He had been in the western jungle for long enough—or perhaps, even too long.
"Rainshine, Nightingale, it's time for us to leave."
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Yes, Master!"
After Leon summoned them, Nightingale and Rainshine quickly answered.
"My Lord, can we follow you too?" Cindertail and Goldenstride requested while the rest of the Golden Suanni Clan looked reluctant for Leon to leave.
"Un, you both may," Leon nodded.
Chapter 1072 Howling Falcon Tribe's Secret
Infertile Plains, Western Region.
Over the past week, the Golden Suanni Tribe and the rest of the western tribes in the alliance had been launching small skirmishes on the northern tribes to gauge their strength.
However, the situation was surprisingly not in their favor.
The Howling Falcon Tribe, in particular, was a formidable opponent that didn't give the western tribe alliance any advantages, even when a member of the Golden Suanni Tribe joined the skirmish.
Furthermore, the Howling Falcon Tribe was one of the few tribes situated close to the Western Region and Northern Region border.
Without defeating the Howling Falcon Tribe, the western tribe alliance cannot proceed to conquer the rest of the northern tribes.
Inside the main tent of the Golden Suanni Tribe, the tribal leaders of the alliance gathered for their regular meeting.
"Chief Siwu-Tahk, you have been in charge of the skirmishes with the northern tribes. Have you learned anything new about the Howling Falcon Tribe and why they are so resilient to our attacks?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan inquired.
After the question was raised, the other leaders turned their heads and gave Chief Siwu-Tahk their attention.
No one could understand why a mid-rank tribe could withstand the attacks from high-rank tribes like theirs for so long.
The warriors from the Howling Falcon Tribe were stronger and more numerous than what a mid-rank tribe would have.

"As you know, because we have been skirmishing with the Howling Falcon Tribe for some time now, they have become completely wary of us and set up a heavy defense line against us. It isn't easy to get past their defensive line to uncover the secrets in their rear," Chief Siwu-Tahk calmly mentioned.
"So you are saying that you haven't learned anything about the Howling Falcon Tribe despite being in charge of the skirmishing campaigns on the northern tribes? If you are that incapable, I believe someone else should take over," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan said with a frown.
"Alliance Leader Sur-Khan is in such a hurry to dismiss me?" Chief Siwu-Tahk slightly smiled before saying, "I never said I haven't learned anything from the Howling Falcon Tribe. I only said it wasn't easy."
Chief Siwu-Tahk was amused by everyone's furrowed brows as he kept them in suspense.
"Get to the point," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan ordered with a frown.
"Alright, alright," Chief Siwu-Tahk casually shrugged before saying, "According to the intelligence I received from the scouts, they discovered several pale-skinned people in the Howling Falcon Tribe's defensive camp when they were changing."
"Pale-skinned people?" Chief Sar-Rakshi quickly uttered with a frown.
"Although there are some pale-skinned people in the Infertile Plains, I don't think these pale-skinned people are natives of the Infertile Plains. If I recall correctly, the reports did mention a group of heavily dressed warriors on the Howling Falcon Tribe's side."
"Do you think these pale-skinned people came from the snowy mountains further north, Chief Sar-Rakshi?" Chief Sul-Dahki asked with surprise.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"Just based on the two points mentioned, it certainly seems that way," Chief Sar-Rakshi did not deny the possibility.
Nevertheless, Chief Siwu-Tahk shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't seem that way; it is that way. Those paled-skinned people are definitely from the far north."
"The pale-skinned people weren't the only thing my scouts discovered. They also found out that large supplies of food and ice were transported to the defensive camp. Given only the far north could have such large chunks of ice, there shouldn't be any doubts regarding those pale-skinned people's origins."
"In other words, the powers in the far north aren't only interested in the Infertile Plains' matters, but they are also personally intervening by backing up the Howling Falcon Tribe, huh?"
Alliance Leader Sur-Khan furrowed his brows before uttering, "That certainly made things complicated. If the powers in the Northern Snowlands are backing up the Howling Falcon Tribe, they will be very hard to defeat."
"It might not just be the Howling Falcon Tribe, but the other northern tribes included as well," Sul-Dahki added.
Certainly, if all the tribes in the Infertile Plains were trying to determine a hegemon to lead their migration, the powers outside the Infertile Plains would not just sit around and do nothing.
"It seems we will have to give up on the northern tribes. Dealing with the Northern Snowlands would be far more troublesome than trying to take on one of the king-rank tribes in the Central Region," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan figured.
Considering the Howling Falcon Tribe had access to food and water due to the supplies from the Northern Snowlands, they weren't pressed for time.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm They could hold their ground for as long as it takes for the Celestial Water Spark's power to run dry before they are targeted by many tribes out of desperation.
"Speaking of the Central Region, does everyone remember that massive tremor that shook the entire earth the other day?" Sar-Rakshi suddenly mentioned.
"How can we not?" Sul-Dahki responded. "I don't know what happened in the Central Region, but it was truly an earth-shaking moment. I thought the world was going to end when it happened."
"Whatever shook the earth, it certainly wasn't the work of humans," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan stated.
"There isn't anyone strong enough to generate such an overwhelmingly powerful force. Not even the Battle God could do something like that. It seemed more like something big had fallen from the heavens."
"In any case, we will know the situation in the Central Region once our scouts return from their investigation. What we need now is a new objective, considering we cannot touch the northern tribes," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan stated.
After the western tribe leaders heard that, they all nodded before Chief Sul-Dahki suggested, "Why don't focus on the Divine Tortoise Tribe?"
"I've received news from my men that the Divine Tortoise Tribe finally made a move after being holed up in their shells for so long. A large number of their forces were mobilized to the east. This is the perfect chance for us to attack."
"The Divine Tortoise Tribe mobilized their army to the east when they have us at their backs?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan frowned without readily agreeing to the suggestion.
"They shouldn't be stupid enough to do that without probable cause. It seems something truly big is happening at the source of the earth shake in the Central Region."
