Chapter 430

From his dignified appearance, the old man became haggard-looking and pale-faced . He was confident in defeating the couple but the two turned out to be monsters . The restriction of the Secret Realm greatly weakened him thus rendering him unable to face the two at the same time .

Since his goal is to bring back Lucy, he just needs to knock out Arthur for some time . He used his purple sword to support himself and took a few deep breaths before he straightened his back and took out another sword .

The new sword was made from a beautiful silver material which emitted a mesmerizing luster . All of a sudden, the pressure of the old man exploded, his cultivation, which was stuck in the God Realm, directly jumped to the Sovereign Realm .

Arthur, who was a distance away, couldn’t react in time as two swords stabbed him . The met a slight resistance from the Dark Barrier before closing in on Arthur, who’s eye shone with a blue light . As he used his eye ability too much today, he was barely able to slow down time .

Ten ominous looking talismans were flung from under is long sleeves, hitting the unsuspecting old man . Arthur was sent flying as two deep wounds appeared on his chest .

Fortunately, the ten Death Talismans restored a big amount of Health which quickly healed the two new injuries . To be more precise, he healed 50% of the damage he received .

The butler angrily threw the talismans which latched themselves on his body . The aura of the talismans were making him uncomfortable and sucking the life out of him .

Just as he was about to attack Arthur again, he staggered, almost falling on the ground . He clutched his chest while coughing some blood .

Seeing this, Arthur smirked and unsheathed Makaze yet again, preparing to deal the finishing blow .

’Even an Overgod can’t resist a continuous exposure to Death Energy and Uranium 235 . ’

The blade was vertically raised above his head, it vibrated intensely as Dark Magic started emanating from both the wielder and the weapon .

’First Wave, Black as Night, Calamity Descends . ’

The dark arrow slowly rotated until it stopped on the dark color .

The sky turned jet black and the ground was consumed by the scattered Dark Magic . Entrapped in this ominous ’world’, the old man could do nothing but remain motionless, both from the weakening of the Death Energy and the pressure coming from Makaze .

’This isn’t a simple matter anymore . ’

For the first time since the fight had begun, the butler decided to go all out regardless of the consequences . He vowed no to hurt Lucy but he needs to remain alive to do that . The two were hell-bent on killing him so he has to retaliate .

As if a mountain was pressing down on him, the old man’s body became engraved on the ground with a large crater around him . There was a hideous slash mark on his chest, black flames burned his body while blood gushed from this fatal wound .

With great difficulties, the old man retrieved a golden vial from under robe and attempted to drink it only for a freezing coldness to halt his movements .

The ground and the boulders scattered around were complete frozen, clearly affected by Lucy’s Yin Power . She appeared before the old man and threw all her Ice-Talisman, causing his body to become immobilized .

The hand holding the golden vial couldn’t move for it was frozen, however, the vial remained unscathed .

She waved her hand, causing the vial to fly far away and then, without any hesitation, she stabbed her white saber into the old man’s head, wanting to finish him .

As he felt the thick killing intent emanating from her eyes and her absolute resolution, the old man couldn’t understand why she was so against going back home .

The treatment she’ll receive there are thousands of times better than here . Her mother would provide her with everything . With powers like hers, if she’s given proper guidance, she’ll easily become the clan’s next Matriarch .

Just as the saber was about to penetrate the old man, he vanished from her sight, leaving only a purple mist .

Her senses soon located him, he was holding the golden vial and drinking a jet black liquid droplet .

Just as he gulped the mysterious liquid, his cultivation soared again, immediately jumping into the Overgod Realm .

"Lucy!"

Arthur warned her before raising Evil Wind again, this time causing dark clouds to cluster above them and white lightning to start randomly hitting the area .

’Second Wave: Thunderous God, Punishment for the Sinners!’

Almost immediately, a ginormous sword made of godly thunder descended from the dark sky . Deafening thunderclaps reverberated across all directions, startling even the refreshed old man, whose body instantly recovered the moment he regained his real cultivation .

That vial was a special liquid his master gave him . It allows him to ignore the secret realm’s restriction and fight as an Overgod . It was a last resort but he had to use it now given how dangerous the situation became .

Things escalated so fast and the prowess of the couple is unimaginable .

’To think their cultivation is restricted yet they can do this... Once Eva is back . That man must be investigated!’

The old man wasn’t overly worried about the incoming thunder sword, he stabbed both his swords on the ground then raised his hand . Using purely his Nether Energy, a large illusory hand grasped the descending sword and very naturally snapped in two .

Although he was able to resist Arthur’s second wave that easily, burn marks still appeared on the Overgod’s hand .

Seeing the failure of his attack, Arthur was prepared to unleash the third wave only for the butler to suddenly appear inches away from him .

The old man used his palm to hit Arthur’s body only to feel an unexpected hardness, still, a hit from an Overgod isn’t that easy to block .

Arthur flew like a kite and heavily crashed into the ground . Fortunately, he quickly got up despite receiving a lot of injuries just from one blow .

As he gazed at the bloodied Arthur, the old man frowned . He could see the bent arm and broken legs restore to normal in literally seconds .

Even peak God Monarchs aren’t able to do that, much less a Sovereign . Sadly for Arthur, the old man was done playing, his silver sword appeared in his hand .

The old man’s speed was really fast but just as he planned to slash down his target, his sword hit nothing but air . He accurately located the place where Arthur will appear and swung his sword again, unleashing unstoppable silver lines made from Sword Essence .

Arthur, who was unaware that [Faster Than Death] was seen through by the butler, was struck by the silver lines which pushed him on the ground then cut his inwardly and tendons, causing him to continuously cough blood .

’As I said, your body is sturdy enough to receive a few blows from an Overgod but to defeat him is just wishful thinking . Now, listen to me clearly and do what I say...’-Claud

Enraged, Lucy flew at the old man, who clutched his raised hand, causing her to be entrapped in some kind of a silver prison made from unbreakable bars .

The old man didn’t want to hurt her so the best thing to do is just imprison her while he took care of her husband . Unfortunately for him, Lucy wasn’t someone who submits this easily .

The killing intent she was emitting materialized itself as a savage red aura revolved around her . A frown appeared on the butler, who decided to knock her unconscious .

The silver-haired woman raised a silver revolver and prepared to fire at the startled old man . He could feel a mind-numbing amount of Mana travel from her body to the revolver, it was truly a monstrous amount .

Before he could act, his ears started ringing as the bullet already left the barrel, making its way toward him . The sheer amount of suppressed Mana that was unleashed caused the space to shatter .

The bullet she fired was a grey-one, a nuclear bullet . The deadliest one in her arsenal . Strangely enough, the bullet passed through the prison and hit the old man, who wasn’t fast enough to dodge a bullet shot from Silent Moon .

The Overgod raised the sword to block the bullet but this minuscule thing exploded before it even reached its target . What followed after could only be described as a disaster . An explosion so powerful it alerted every cultivator in the Secret Realm .

A humongous mushroom cloud appeared, bringing with it destruction and absolute chaos . Whether it was the nearby mountains, valleys or the already damaged ground, they all vanished . This kind of bullet was fatal not only to the enemy but to the user too .

The prison created by the Overgod soon vanished as the old man couldn’t focus on maintaining anymore . Currently, he looked absolute pitiful, he was half-naked with many burns marks on his Celestial Body . Even he, was surprised as he inspected the marks .

Radiation isn’t a common thing in the Cloud Sea Universe, especially something as advanced as the one Arthur created .

The potency of the poison and nuclear was so strong that it affected the air, causing any cultivator, who’s foolish enough to come here, to die within seconds, literally .

Even Jian Si was heavily injured . She dragged her bloodied body away from the scattering poison . Her face was incredibly pale as she swallowed a precious healing pill while mounting a flying sword, barely having the consciousness to control it .

The one who fired the bullet was in no better state either . She struggled to get up while coughing some blood . Still holding the silver revolver, she loaded another bullet, a newly created 5th-grade golden bullet made from Golden Crow fire .

With unsteady steps, she headed towards a random direction while trying to locate the missing Arthur . Very soon, a dark silhouette appeared in front of her . Fortunately, she quickly healed some of the injuries but the radiation was emptying her large pool Health bar so it was necessary to leave this place .

Although she was at first, once she felt the familiar Dark Magic coming from that silhouette, Lucy felt relieved . Arthur held her and checked the condition of her body before forcing her to drink one of the highest Healing Potion in his storage .

It didn’t do much but coupled with the Life Energy he could wield, it allowed his wife to recover her full Health in merely a minute .

"Where is he?" She asked while studying Arthur’s condition . He may appear alright but the butler’s sword attack did considerable internal damage which may take time to heal .

"He was flung by the explosion but he’s not dead... yet . "

...

A fair distance from the couple, the old man stood there while coughing some blood . He noticed a stinging black tattoo appear on his right hand . He creased his brow as the tattoo wouldn’t disappear despite using his Nether Energy to remove it . It made him uncomfortable and upon closer inspection, it had the same feel as the dark blade in Arthur’s possession .

The elderly raised his head and gazed at the area but was unable to see naught but a dark and green fog which blocked the view and slowly weakened him . He tried clearing the dust and poison with his Nether Energy but to no avail, whatever Arthur used, it didn’t rely on Energy .

While it’s true it required Mana to shoot the bullet, it doesn’t mean the bullet itself is made from Energy .

His sense, which is supposed to stretch to all corners of this small Secret Realm, was unable to even bypass the poison fog, going as much as ten miles then stopping as if blocked by something .

Arthur and Lucy, who were mentally tired after the fight with the Holy Dominion and the butler, didn’t flee from there but located the lost old man and started preparing their last attack .

...

Only thirty minutes later did the old man escape the large poison fog . His skin became green and contaminated while his Celestial Body was visible shaking ever-so-slightly .

Ever since a while ago, his senses were alarming him yet he continued to advance, unwilling to stay inside this fog any second longer .

"She’s as crazy as her mother..."

When he recalled the savage killing intent Lucy unleashed, the butler remembered her mother, who’ll do anything to protect her family .

As he saw the light of the day close by, the old man knew he was finally going to leave this godforsaken place . Unfortunately, the moment he stepped outside, he was greeted by an astonishing spectacle .

The amount of Nether Energy concentrating here was so thick it made him flush .

His target and her husband were floating in the sky, three hundred meters away from him . What made the butler speechless was the ’thing’ above the couple .

Arthur was behind Lucy, holding her soft hands while both of them took the stance of shooting an arrow . This, without a doubt, is the ultimate attack of the combined strength of two overpowered beings .

An attack they only used once for it consumed too much and destroyed a whole island back then .

A figure so big it pierced the clouds and caused Spatial Vibrating was behind the couple . It was illusory but the pressure it was emanating was real...
