Chapter 2497

Anox was standing there alone.

"Alright, let the match begin!"

In another competition venue in the East District of the Northern Territory, Harkin

opened a scarlet-colored array.

Immediately afterward, Thresmund walked to the center of the array.

"Let's get started."

Harvin walked into the washroom. At this time, another man also walked in from behind.

Harvin went to the sink and saw where the other man was standing through the reflection of the mirror. He took a deep breath. Immediately afterward, he threw a punch at the man who was following him.

He looked at the ruffian on the ground.

"How unexpected..."

Harvin looked at the person lying on the ground. His attack just now was definitely fast, accurate, and ruthless. However, he never expected a mere lackey who could be taken down with a single punch to be wearing protective gear with high defensive power.

"It seems that Maxim has spent a lot of money."

Just then, another person walked in.

"There's more?" Harvin said as he looked toward the door.

It was Leuca.

"Mr. Goode?"

"Shall we talk, Mr. Carver?"

"What's there to talk about?"

"Mr. Carver, don't you want to know what Maxim is going to do? I know the answer, and I can tell you, but I must know your thoughts after that. How about that?"

"Sure."

Leuca proceeded to explain Maxim's main purpose to Harvin.

"Destroy the Celestial Tree?"

Leuca nodded and said, "First of all, I don't think whatever Maxim does matters. Of course, the premise is that he's truly capable of destroying the Celestial Tree."

"What do you mean?" Harvin wondered.

Leuca explained, "How can it be so easy to destroy the Celestial Tree? Don't forget, nearly two-thirds of the cultivators in the East District of the Northern Territory rely on the Celestial Tree.

"The reason why all these sects are willing to surrender to Maxim is because he gave them a guarantee by telling them the pros and cons and promising them benefits."

"So, what are you saying?" Harvin was a little confused. He knew Maxim's plan, but he did not make it clear whether he opposed Maxim.

Leuca carried on and said, "What I'm saying is very simple. If that guy can really destroy the Celestial Tree and realize the perfect world he talks about, then I'd side with him. But that's impossible."

"Why?"

"It's very simple. Maxim has absolutely no way of destroying the Celestial Tree by himself, so he can only use one thing... Or rather, one person."

"Who?"

"Maybe not a specific person, but it's only one method I can think of."

"I'm afraid we have the same idea," Harvin said.

"Hmm, then tell me your thoughts."

"When the array absorbs the immortal power of the practitioners and then transmits it into a person's body using a certain method, this creates a condition."

"The ultimate darkness, that's right."

"The targets you mentioned earlier are probably the other forces apart from the disciples."

"Yes, as long as the balance of light and dark is broken, the Celestial Tree will inevitably be affected. At that time, perhaps the ultimate darkness would destroy the Celestial Tree!"
