"Don't..."

"Don't do it..."

"I'm begging you to spare me! Everything here is yours! They're all yours! I just want you to spare my life!" Maxwell's 9,999 blade slashes had forced Ferris to the point of lying on the ground. His face was pale, his body filled with injuries, and he was half a step into the gates of hell.

Ferris never imagined this.

He had always thought his talent was considered perverse, and he even crafted his own fleshly body into an undying insect. And he managed to cultivate himself to the highest king rank! He had always thought he was quite awesome, but...

But when he placed himself in front of Maxwell, he realised he wasn't such a big deal.

Moreover, Ferris originally thought that he would stand there without moving to allow Maxwell to fully consume his own mana. Once Maxwell's mana was depleted, he would then retaliate to show off his awesome might. But he never imagined that Maxwell's mana was like an endless ocean and didn't show any signs of drying up.

Maxwell was simply too perverse; he cannot be considered human anymore!

Maxwell raised the Vampire Blade above his head and smiled ferociously. "Are you scared now?"

"Weren't you very arrogant before?"

"Let me see how arrogant you were again. Weren't you very awesome and unbridled? Where did that previous domineering aura go? Now you look like a dead pig!"

"The ten thousandth combo!"

"Hunted Cut!"

"Devil Mortis!"

Maxwell's arms started moving as an excited expression appeared on his face. Seeing how Ferris only had a tiny bit of health left, he shouted: "My loot!"

The blade chopped down!

Ferris looked up at the huge blade image wailing in a ferocious yet mournful sound.

"Bam!"

Ferris's body was chopped in half!

Wherever the blade qi slashed past, a deep, bottomless fissure would appear. An abundant amount of death aura would then rise out of the rift, as if it were stemming from the depths of hell. Anyone sensing it would be immediately put into a deep state of fear!

At this moment, Maxwell closed his eyes as he silently waited. There was an indescribable sense of nervousness coming from his heart.

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing Ferris."

"Reward: 100,000 XP, 2000 mana."

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining a king rank undying insect."

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining an Earth attribute beast core."

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining the Eternal Kingdom Technique. Would you like to cultivate it?"

"Yes/No"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining..."

The system notifications were going off non-stop!

Maxwell felt like flowers were blooming in his heart as he started laughing uncontrollably. "Hahaha... A king rank undying insect, an earth attribute beast core, and the Eternal Kingdom martial technique!"

Maxwell had a thought to check out all the loot the system gave him. He noticed the king rank undying insect was much smaller when compared to its being on Ferris's head. When the insect felt Maxwell's intent, it started baring its teeth at him in a ferocious manner.

Maxwell's eyes turned grim as his spiritual intent was directly slapped out. He then shouted: "You'd better watch your attitude! I'm your new owner from here on out, so if you don't obediently listen to me, I might as well directly slap you to death!"

The insect whined in an unwilling manner. When it felt Maxwell's domineering aura washing over it, it immediately became obedient and dared not move.

Maxwell then said in a satisfied manner, "It's good that you know your place, and don't keep thinking you're so amazing. If you were really stronger than me, you wouldn't have had the shit beaten out of you. As long as you're obedient, I will make you enjoy the peaks of success once again."

The king rank undying insect immediately revealed a fawning smile as it rubbed against Maxwell's spiritual intent.

This thing kind of looked like a caterpillar. It was quite cute looking at certain angles, and especially when it was trying to brown-nose someone.

Maxwell started thinking to himself: "Since you're an insect and also a king rank one, then I'll just call you Itch from now on. Shit man, I didn't know I had such great talent in giving things names, hahaha..."

Itch started moving about in obvious protest against the name.

But it was useless!

Because the system received Maxwell's command and directly changed the insect's name to Itch.

Maxwell then looked at the earth attributed beast core and said to himself happily: "I now have the second beast core in my hands and out of the five elements; I'm only missing the gold, wood, and water one. Once I get those three beast cores, the secrets of the ancient scroll will finally reveal themselves."

One of the main reasons Maxwell entered Eden was to find those elemental-attribute beast cores.

He never expected an earth-attribute beast core would explode out of Ferris, so this was considered an unexpected harvest.

As for the Eternal Kingdom martial technique that Ferris cultivated, Maxwell didn't hesitate and directly agreed to cultivate it as well.

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for cultivating Eternal Kingdom."

Martial Technique: Eternal Kingdom

Type: 9

Proficiency: 0/4000

Consumption: 5000 mana

Cool-down time: 10 minutes.

Technique description: This martial technique grants the user an independent spatial dimension. At level 1, the independent spatial dimension has a range of five meters, and the space can be maintained for two seconds. At level 2, the space range extends to eight meters and can be maintained for five seconds... At the final great perfection level 10, the spatial dimension turns into an absolute domain. Inside the domain, the caster enters an invincible state that can be maintained for thirty seconds.

"I... Do you have to be this awesome? Absolute domain? Invincible state? This is going against the heavens!" Maxwell was dumbfounded when he looked at the description because the martial technique was so much of a cheat that it could go against heaven's will.

But, a few seconds later, Maxwell was lost in thought.

Level 1 proficiency requires 4000 points to rise to the next level, and each time the technique requires 5000 mana to activate. Maxwell then mumbled his calculations: "1×3 = 3, 2×3 = 8... Ahhh, screw it, that's a lot of mana consumption. What year and how old would I be by the time I've levelled it up to the final great perfection stage?"

Maxwell instantly became upset.

He sighed in his heart and said to himself, "Forget it; I can only slowly train the technique. As long as I don't die, I will eventually reach the great perfection stage someday..."

"Old man, what did I just witness?"

"Can you tell me if this is real? This can't be real, right?"

Lilith was excited.

She was extremely excited! Seeing how Maxwell was pounding Ferris to the ground, she started getting excited. Seeing how Ferris's body was chopped into two, she was so excited that a tear leaked out of her eye.

Ludwick stared with eyes wide and his mouth agape. He had even forgotten to breathe!

After a while, he finally managed to catch his breath as he mumbled, "This is too inconceivable. This kid is simply..."

"Miss, are you sure he's a human and not some Immortal that has descended this realm?"

This was absolutely impossible to believe!

Lilith smiled like a blooming flower and said, "Old man, do you know why he's so strong?"

Ludwick asked: "Why is that?"

Lilith ran towards Maxwell while turning her head around with a bright smile.

"Because he is a man I, Lilith, have set my eyes on!"
