Seeing what Byrius and the other O’Brien disciples were pnning, Mathias, Lauriel, and Kimika all took a at once.

  Though the weakest in realm, Kimika appeared to be the fastest of the three. Her killing i soared as she seemed to teleport, appearing at the rear of the group blog off the path of Kimai.

  “I refuse to believe that a mere early saint stop me!” O’Brien’s 8th disciple roared as he summoned his spear from his ste ring and thrust it forward with all his might.

  An overbeari wave suddenly assaulted Kimika as the air seemed to distort, creating the image of hundreds of spears aiming to riddle her body with hundreds of holes.

  The moment she saw Kimai’s attack, she instantly uood that the man had prehehe Law of Fire’s Profound Mystery of Mirages. Unfortunately, for the spear-wielding saint, as realistic as it appeared to the naked eye, Kimika had long since learnt not to rely solely on her eyes.

  By listening to the symphony of the air, she could tell exactly what was happening around her without even opening her eyes. Every subtle shift in the air was automatically fed back to her mind. As a result, Kimika was able to ignore all the fake spears and focus only on the 30 real ones.

  Despite being so much weaker than her oppo, Kimika’s eyes didn’t flicker as she calmly waved her sword hundreds of times in the space of a sed, but instead of aiming for Kimai himself, she chose tet his spear, allowio barely knock each of his strikes off target.

  Though it took a while to expin, everything happened in a fra of a sed.

  By the time Kimai realised he’d done no damage to this seemingly weak saint, Wukong had just pleted his third step.

  He was so taken aback by Kimika’s skill with the sword that he’d actually been slow iing to the third bolt of lightning.

  The moment Kimai moved to block Wukong’s desding bolt of lightning, Kimika sshed her sword across her body from left tht.

  “[Void Rend]!” Kimika said with a cold indifferehat made her oppo’s heart shudder.

  Kimai’s eyes stricted as he saw Kimika’s bde tearing through the fabric of space. In that moment, he uood that, if nothing else, he couldn’t allow Kimika’s strike to nd.

  Knowing it was do or die, he hurriedly transitioned from defeo offence, allowing Wukong’s attack to strike him on the of his head as his battle-qi roared to life, burning the air and anything else that dared stand in his way.

  With the threat of death pressing down on him, Kimai mao subsciously prehend his sed profound mystery – the profound mystery of heat; unfortunately, just as his spear took flight, his ears were assaulted by the roar of thunder.

  It was only a fra of a fra of a sed, but by the time he shook off its effects, he found his vision spinning as he itently caught sight of his headless body.

  Just like that, another of O’Brien’s disciples met their end, their numbers going from o eight, but Kimika didn’t spare him annce as her body vanished, looking for her oppo.

  The ht disciples hadn’t even realised that another of their brothers had just fallen. Each of them was fag a threat that prevehem from even sidering splitting their attention.

  Three of them had been targeted by Mathias, whilst Lauriel had targeted the other five. With both husband and wife immediately deg to lock their targets in their [Pseudo-Godrealms].

  The moment she sensed Mathias appear behiana’s heart froze. Though she wasn’t sure, she couldn’t help but expect the worst – that Mathias’ prehension really had reached the deity realm.

  She was so scared that, in that moment, she had even fotten to move, but when she sehe ‘destru’ of her 11th sister, her brows momentarily furrowed before she erupted in a boisterous ughter filled with relief.

  In that moment, she realised that Mathias’s prehension really had only reached the level of a prime saint. If it had gone past that, with how much he wao kill them all, there was no way he would still be holding back.

  Unfortunately, that relief was short-lived. She was brought back to reality by the death of her sixth brother.

  Though she had hit the nail on the head with her dedu, with his [Pseudo-Godrealm], Mathias’ power had stepped into the realms of prime saints.

  ing to that realisation, Tana’s body shot back explosively, creating as much space between her and the enemy as possible.

  Mathias could guess what she nning, but as soon as he had finished with O’Brien’s sixth disciple, instead of chasing after Tana to try and stop her from forcibly destroying his domain, he lifted his war cleaver and calmly sshed from top to bottom. “[Sundering Decimation]!”

  Mathias’s voice had barely left his mouth when a terrifyingly powerful, grey, crest-shaped axe light radiating pure destru shot forth.

  Tana had only just destroyed Mathias’ domain when she sensed Mathias’ attack approag her.

  Aside from the few times she’d been lucky enough to watch a battle at the deity level, this was by far the stro attack she’d ever witnessed.

  She was just about to dodge when the sound of thunder rang in her ears, faintly disorientating her, and another bolt of lightning desded from the sky, snaking down till it struck her on the head.

  Previously, Mathias’ domain had effectively shielded her from Wukong’s [Tribution Steps], but Wukong had opped. In fact, he seemed to have entered a trance-like state.

  Between the grief caused by seeing Ace suffering and then fag the people who were causing it, his soul had faced enough stimution to enter sudden enlighte.

  Not only had his prehension of lightning’s profound mystery of movement reached the prime saint level, but…

  “Argh!” Tana grunted as her face paled slightly due to her soul receiving a jolt.

  It wasn’t just her. Of the five targeted by Lauriel, she had mao kill three, one of whom was Magnar, O’Brien’s 3rd disciple.

  The differeween those targeted by Lauriel and those targeted by Mathias was that whilst Tana awo juniors were overwhelmed by fear of the unknown, not knowing the limits of Mathias’ strength, the five trapped by Lauriel’s [Pseudo-Godrealm] all kly how powerful Lauriel was.

  Whilst a prime saint was far more powerful than each of them individually, together, they stood a ce, provided they destroyed her domain.

  Unfortunately, by the time they succeeded, only Byrius and his 4th brother, Wendell, remained.

  But like Tana, as they escaped, they too were hit by Wukong’s sixth lightning strike.

  With his improved insights into the profound mystery of movement, the speed of each bolt reached a level you’d expect to see from a peak saint, but what was most impressive was that during his enlighte, he had actually mao not only grasp a trace amount of lightning’s profound mystery of judgement but also fuse it with his insights into the mystery of movement, giving each of his lightning bolts the ability to attack the soul of his targets – at least in part.

  Still, the power of his soul was only faintly approag the saint realm. His strike was far from enough to do any sting damage to three peak saints of this level.

  Even though they were nowhere near out of danger, whether it was Byrius or Wendell, they both turo Wukong – who had only just awoken from his enlighte – in disbelief.

  That st strike, although it was only barely, could gehreaten them.

  A mortal with the ability to threaten three peak saints…

  They couldn’t help but wonder how so many monsters could gather under one roof.

  The worst part was that if not for their choosing to reveal themselves of their own free will, no one would have any idea…

  “For daring tet this king’s family, you all deserve death!” Wukong growled as he raised his foot for the seventh time. “[Tribution Step – Seventh Ste…”

  Before Wukong could finish his attack, Byrius attacked once more, this time not holding back – Wukong was way too dangerous to take lightly any longer!

  Wukong moved like a bolt of lightning, easily evading Byrius’ strike, but unfortunately, with his teique interrupted, he would no longer be able to tihout starting again from the first step – something he very much doubted would be possible anymore.

  “Argh!” Wendell grunted suddenly as he was sent flying.

  Whilst Byrius had been busy with Wukong, Lazerim and Kimika had shown seamless teamwork tet O’Brien’s fourth disciple.

  Unfortunately, he was far strohaher of them and had still been in a retively alert state, despite being distracted by Wukong.

  At the same time, Mathias’ st strike was virtually on top of Tana, and due to Wukong’s interfere was far too te to dodge.

  At that moment, as her life began to fsh before her eyes, she was struck by a moment of enlighte, whi turn allowed her to draw strength from the earth beh her feet to increase her own power.

  Previously, like Byrius, Tana had been at the very peak of the saint realm, not even half a step from being a prime saint, but now…

  Tana calmly swung her axe, but as it moved, space seemed to distort around her bde. As her earthen-battle-qi-covered axe met Mathias’ attack, she somehow mao shatter it with peared to be nothing but raw power.

  Though she was sent skidding back with a trickle of blood seeping out the er of her mouth, she survived. That wasn’t the only thing of note…

  “HAHAHA,” Tana’s ecstatic ugh rang through the battlefield, causing everyoo stop and stare at her. “I should really thank you!

  Because of you, I have finally bee a prime saint!”
