Logan stood up and walked over, taking out the divine weapon gifted to him by the System. Ignoring the previous fight with the black-clothed man, this would be his first battle in the Instance World.

He didn’t want to get involved with the Throne Strong Individual, but if a battle was unavoidable, Logan wouldn’t back down. The essence of fighting is a person’s determination; if you’re afraid, how can you advance your cultivation?

As Logan stared at him, Cloud upon the Sea unexpectedly began to waver. Why did Logan’s gaze seem so terrifying? It wasn’t like that of a Mythical Grade; even his father never gave him this feeling.

But Cloud upon the Sea suppressed his fear and spoke out, “You hold off this guard while I kill Logan personally. With my middle-ranking Overstep strength, killing a mere Mythical Grade should be easy.”

The elder nodded in agreement, acknowledging the strength of his Young Master. It wasn’t easy for the younger generation to reach this realm; generally, they would only be Mythical Grade and only those with exceptional talents could reach Overstep.

The Guard Captain was extremely anxious but wouldn’t budge, “A high-ranking Overstep has the power to fight the Throne; I will use my death to buy some time. I believe someone will notice the battle here.”

At the start of the battle between the guard and the elder, there was no hope for victory. In less than three rounds, he struggled to defend himself, and he had suffered significant injuries. He probably wouldn’t last ten rounds without lamenting his fate.

In the battle between Logan and Cloud upon the Sea, Cloud upon the Sea initially underestimated his opponent, and Logan was expected to be the next casualty. However, after their first exchange, Cloud upon the Sea was astonished.

As a middle-ranking transcendent, he couldn’t gain the upper hand in the battle with Logan. Instead, he felt more and more pressured.

With a fierce strike, Logan sent Cloud upon the Sea flying, while the elder took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. However, Logan turned around quickly, managing to withstand the elder’s blow.

Logan realized that even though he was only at the Mythical Grade realm, his strength was almost equal to the Throne Strong Individual. After much thought, it was all thanks to his Perfect Evolution path.

After arriving at the Ancient Instance, he had been continuously growing stronger. The Law’s Force here was truly perfect, completely in line with Logan’s cultivation and evolution path.

The two sides fought for tens of rounds, initially evenly matched. But suddenly, Logan launched a powerful attack, and his terrifying supernatural ability injured the elder, even causing his wounds to keep expanding.

Logan’s movements were like a ghost, and he gritted his teeth as he thrust his sword forward. The dreadful Law’s Force swirled around like a hurricane, making it seem as if the True Gods had descended, ready to destroy the world in an instant.

Already severely injured, the elder could only feel helpless against this attack, but he refused to retreat. If he were killed by Logan, wouldn’t Cloud upon the Sea be left with no one to save him?

As a Throne Strong Individual to the end, even at the brink of death, he could quickly summon his Spiritual Power, creating a barrier of Law’s Force in front of him, attempting to block Logan’s powerful attack.

However, it was useless. Logan’s sword was unbreakable, shining brightly like Hou Yi’s legendary shot. Even the lofty heavens would be shattered into dust by this breathtaking strike.

The elder could only feel the sword piercing through his body and he fell, lifeless.

This scene astonished many, including the severely injured guard and Cloud upon the Sea who couldn’t believe what had unfolded. A meager Mythical Grade had actually killed a Throne Strong Individual.

Throughout history, there have been many Heavenly Prides and those who could fight across ranks, but none were as formidable as Logan. At this moment, Cloud upon the Sea was filled with regret. He should not have provoked Logan; in the end, he was too arrogant, thinking that a Mythical Grade was nothing but an ant.

Logan gave a cold smile and looked at Cloud upon the Sea, “Everything started because of you, and you must pay the price. I have decided to cut off one of your arms, ensuring that you can never set foot on the path of cultivation again in this life.”

Already a middle-ranking Overstep, he would have to stay at that level for the rest of his life; unable to advance further to the Throne, life in the Ancient Instance would be worse than death.

Cloud upon the Sea was genuinely terrified, continuously begging Logan for mercy, “I was wrong, I was muddled for a moment. You killed one of my Throne-ranking predecessors, can we let bygones be bygones?”

Logan really wanted to laugh. Was he wrong for killing the elder? If he really only had Mythical Grade strength, he would be the one lying on the ground right now, with Cloud upon the Sea gloating about his position.

Just as he was about to strike, a group of people rushed in, with the person at the helm angrily shouting, “How dare you!” A burst of Law’s Force forced Logan to retreat three steps, and his sword seemed on the verge of shattering.

Standing next to the leader was Argub, caught off guard by the scene. There must have been a great battle here previously, but what exactly had happened? How come a Throne Strong Individual was gone?

The guard captain, barely holding onto his life, stood up and retold the entire series of events without any discrepancies. After hearing the story, Argub sucked in a cold breath, doubting his own ears.

A Mythical Grade killed a Throne? It seemed like a huge joke. If it had happened before, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it, but he had no choice but to believe now because the corpse was right in front of him.

Cloud upon the Sea tried to make a case to the leader, who was also his Father Great Elder, about the injustices he had suffered.

The Great Elder was heartbroken. He had always been reluctant to scold or punish his son since childhood. But now, an outsider had beaten him so severely, almost killing him. If it hadn’t been for his timely arrival, the consequences would have been unthinkable. The frustration was killing him.

He glanced at Argub, “My lord, we need an explanation for this. Every Throne Strong Individual is a guest of honor in our territory. How could they be killed so easily?”

Argub was a smart man, and as the Lord who had been in power for tens of thousands of years, he quickly understood everything. What the guard captain said was largely accurate, and Cloud upon the Sea had indeed provoked the situation.

However, he now faced a dilemma: Should he save face for the Great Elder by killing Logan, or forcefully protect Logan, since he had saved his daughter’s life?

Argub gave a faint smile and spoke, “Great Elder, Cloud upon the Sea started this whole thing, and Logan was just forced to counterattack. Shouldn’t we be fair and just in dealing with this matter?”

The Great Elder was at a loss for words, as the Lord’s intention was clear: Both people involved should be punished. However, Logan was just an outsider, while Cloud upon the Sea was his own son.

Even if Logan died a hundred times, it wouldn’t be worth his child’s suffering once. However, swallowing this bitter pill was truly unbearable. As the Great Elder of a prestigious regional lord, he felt utterly humiliated today.
