Chapter 502: Chapter 496: The Disappearance of a Person

“He can’t be dead just like that!”

David Jones glanced at the tea house shrouded in smoke, feeling a bit strange.

Collins Clark couldn’t have been lurking in the Star Moon Auction Event for so many years just to be killed by a single palm strike from a Legendary Powerful One. That would be too absurd!

As expected, under the watchful gaze of the Son of the Earth, a layer of pitch- black gleaming guard, which emitted faint roars and wails, completely enveloped Collins Clark.

Seeing Collins Clark protected by a turtle shell-like guard, David Jones lost interest and looked towards his teacher’s direction, attempting to use the Illusion-Piercing Eye to see through the raging flames.

“Five-Hells Crown, you’re a dog of the Sacred Soul Sect!” Max Goldsmith’s eyes turned cold, and he quickly ordered the Son of the Earth to accelerate his offensive.

The Five-Hells Crown is an exclusive magical artifact of the Sacred Soul Sect, a Legendary Arcane Implement with a high rank of Eight-Tempered, possessing unparalleled defense and transportation capabilities. It’s a Legendary Treasure, inferior only to a Nine-Tempered Artifact, and there are at least two or three Legendary Powerful Ones who died under it.

If the Master of the Sacred Soul Sect personally held the Five-Hells Crown, Max Goldsmith, whose Arcane Force was sealed, would undoubtedly turn and flee without a second thought.

But Collins Clark, an Epic Powerful One, even with the Five-Hells Crown in his hand, could only protect himself at most.

As long as he stalls for time, waiting for the Celestial Ancestor to arrive, the Goldsmith family might be able to obtain an additional Level VIII Legendary

Martial Artifact.

“Hold on! The Five-Hells Crown also possesses the unpredictable teleportation ability over long distances. This guy might be trying to escape!”

Max Goldsmith looked at the distant Collins Clark wrapped in black light and suddenly felt alarmed.

Unfortunately, with his Arcane Force sealed and unable to perform Bond Coordination, he couldn’t stop the charging teleportation of the Five-Hells Crown.

“Don’t go, Grau. Have faith in the teacher.” David Jones stopped the eager Grau the Mysterious Dragon.

With the teacher’s strength, dealing with three half-step Legendary opponents shouldn’t be a problem. Grau would only make a mess if he went now.

Grau hesitated, looking at the distant flames, recalling Lilith Hoyle’s warning before taking action, eventually suppressing his inner impulse.

At the moment, the exhibition stage had the half-conscious Goldsmith family’s chaste daughter with dry, cracked lips on one side and the three black figures struggling in invisible flames on the other.

Looking at the disheveled tendril monster in front of her, Lilith Hoyle’s gaze sharpened.

“Evilheart Tendril!”

Evilheart Tendril is what people call it in the Flowery Kingdom. In the Sacred Soul Sect, this item is revered as the Heavenheart Vine, a Level VIII Legendary resource capable of devouring the flesh and souls of powerful beings to create external incarnations. It is an extremely malicious plant and a forbidden item strictly sealed by the Trainer Guild.

“Evilheart Master, aren’t you afraid of severe backlash from entering Peony City with your incarnation, making the rats under your control turn against you?” Lilith Hoyle said coldly.

“If a rat could turn against me, it wouldn’t be a rat but a hero. If I had such a person under me, why not give up the position of the Sacred Soul Sect Master to them!”

As the gloomy voice fell, numerous tentacles suddenly pierced the black robe from behind the three tendril monsters and connected closely with each other. Soon, an enormous monstrous beast emerged.

It was a plant-type Beast shrouded in eerie black smoke and with a head made of dark green thorny vines, its blood-red pupils topped with black-as-night flower buds that seemed to devour souls.

It had four limbs on the ground, strong enough to emit an eerie gleam in the flames and the purple-black slick claws seemed to come from the void. The Arcane Force in the surrounding space trembled constantly where the claws were.

“Lilith Hoyle, I’ve heard of your name. I hope you can bring me some surprises.

Don’t die to the Heavenheart Beast.”

As his words fell, the intelligence in the eyes of the Heavenheart Beast faded, replaced by endless brutality and destruction. Its strength also rose from the threshold of a half-step Legend to the Eighth-order Legendary Emperor.

Meanwhile, tendrils carrying unknown poison transformed into raging green torrents in an instant, spreading wildly and even breaking through the floor of the 18th level, extending to the 17th and 16th levels of the Star Moon Tower, engulfing everything they encountered.

“Heavenly Fire Cleansing!” Lilith Hoyle commanded mentally.

The Three-legged Raven instantly soared into the air, with flames erupting from its body, forming a brilliant sun that illuminated the world.

Terrible flames burst out, countless transparent flames crashed down like a meteor shower onto the Heavenheart Beast, using its body as fuel to ignite an even more fierce blaze.

“Sizzle!”

The Heavenheart Beast, caught off-guard, had most of its body evaporated by the scorching flames, leaving behind only its charred carcass. It was clear that there was a gap even among Eighth-order Legends.

Furthermore, fire inherently countered wood, and the mighty Heavenheart Beast had already fallen significantly behind after just one round of combat, at risk of falling any moment.

“Is that all? Shameless boasting!”

Lilith shookher head, seemingly losing interest in the beast before her.

“Great Sun from the Horizon.”

Upon finishing her words, Lilith turned around to search for the traces of the Bodhi sapling, not paying attention to the dazzling light and explosive force of the powerful Great Sun that was falling behind her.

“Rumbling!”

As the divine bird descended, it was like the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a blast yield of 50 million tons. The terrifying light and heat not only instantly destroyed the exhibition stands shielded by rune circles but also affected the entire floor.

It was thanks to the Goldsmith family’s massive expenditure of resources and effort in raising the Star Moon Tower’s defenses to their peak. Otherwise, the devastating Great Sun from the Horizon could complete the destruction of an entire medium-sized island nation.

“It’s a mess!” Seeing the piercing light, Max Goldsmith’s heart was dripping blood.

After being bombed so chaotically by a legendary powerful being, the entire Star Moon Tower’s defenses would likely need to be re-arranged, which would require a significant amount of funds!

“Lilith Hoyle’s attacks are as ruthless as ever!”

The complexions of the remaining Legendary Powerful Ones who stayed behind to watch the show also changed. They immediately summoned their pets to withstand this earth-shattering blow, trying to prevent casualties among their young subordinates.

Grau rapidly expanded in size, protecting David Jones behind its body.

“It’s time to leave; if we don’t, we won’t be able to!

Collins Clark glanced fearfully at the area where the Great Sun was blooming, then turned his gaze upon David Jones’s location. Greed flashed in his eyes as he made up his mind.

“A low-ranked Trainer without the protection of their senior teachers. I could crush a whole group of them with a wave of my hand. I can’t let this Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk slip away!”

Thus, the Five-Hells Crown in Collins Clark’s hand emitted a brilliant light, and the dense black glow spread out, nearly imperceptible under the strong light of the Great Sun. As it teleported Collins away, it also took a weak human with it.

“Grau, where is David Jones?”

At this moment, Lilith, who had lost David’s presence and could not find the Bodhi sapling, appeared before Grau in frustration.

“Wasn’t David Jones behind me?”

Grau turned its head to see that there was no one behind it. Its expression became stiff.

It was impossible! Someone was able to take David Jones away right under its very senses, without detection!!!
