They couldnât understand why Serene wouldnât attack, knowing she was a compelling martial artist.
âIs she using some higher hand to crush the entire sect?â
Serene was extremely heartbroken. Her eyes widened with anger. Bloody tears poured down her old
eyes, but she was helpless.
As the slaughter continued, it looked as if it would require a miracle even to escape. Death and
destruction seemed to be the only thing that awaited them.
Just then, a bright, silver light shot to the sky from the back of the sanctuary. It was where Frostine was
receiving the legacy. The ray was so bright that anyone could still see it clearly during the day.
âWhat is that?â Donovan turned to look at it amid his killing spree.
The silver light was as thick as a bucket, followed by a melody so pleasant it was as if an ancient god
was singing. Its listener would feel relaxed, their bodies lightened.
âWhat kind of secret treasure is being birthed in there?â Donovan asked Serene.
Throughout his life, his luck and skills combined allowed him to witness quite a few miracles. He had
seen such situations as well, whenever there was a birth of a unique treasure, or when a powerful
medicine had been formed.
Even the people controlling the Fire Tower of the Universe looked over as well, all filled with greed.
âNo treasure is in there,â Serene replied.
However, no one believed her. Donovan immediately ditched the members of the Plenilune sect and
rushed to the back of the sanctuary.
âStop himlâ Serene yelled.
âHmph, as expected. Something is in there.â Donovan smiled coldly, using a long black sword to
murder three disciples simultaneously, continuing his way to the back.
At that very moment, a figure flashed towards Donovan. It was Hermione.
âYouâd have to get through me first.â
Donovanâs eyes turned cold. âI recognize you, that Rockefeller guy was messing around with you in the
hotel, with Ynes Larkin too. You shameless b*tch, if you want to die, then so be it.â
Hermione took a bottle of medicine out of her pocket. It looked like blood. She then drank it in one gulp.
This was the fate-changing method that Xienna left for her.
Boom!
Hermioneâs strength instantly increased threefold.
âAttack!â
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Hermioneâs aura was intense, at par with Donovanâs. Donovan was shocked. He had never viewed her
as an equal, thinking that he could kill her in one shot. He didnât expect her to be this fierce after taking
some medicine.
Even Serene and the members of the Plenilune sect were so shocked their jaws dropped to the
ground.
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate.
Donovan yelled. âLord Rowan, help me outâ
The Peak Lord named Rowan answered him lightly, about to give Donovan a hand. Since Alex had
been in the tower for quite a while, he thought that Alex was dead at this point.
The true fire of Samadhi was burning from within, after all, and any person at the Immortalization stage
wouldâve been burnt to ashes now.
Just then, the tower started moving on its own as crackling noises filled the air. A cold gust of air
somehow came from the tower, which was insanely hot a while ago.
âWhatâs happening?â
âWhatâs going on with the tower?â
Suddenly, an even weirder phenomenon happened-a layer of blue crystals formed on the towerâs
surface, becoming thicker and thicker with time.
This was⦠Ice!
Ice was actually forming on the Fire Tower of God, a phenomenon simply way too surreal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following that were loud banging noises. Someone seemed to be punching harshly from within the
tower.
Crack!
After a salvo of punches, a hole had been punched into the Fire Tower of God.
