CHAPTER 2056: CHAPTER 2056: THE WINDS OF CHANGE

At this moment, the black-clad youth was staring at him like a tiger watching its prey, while Lanni Barnes thanked this youth. What else could it be for?

He realized immediately that this black-clad youth was likely to team up with Lanni Barnes to deal with him!

Indeed.

The next moment, he noticed:

While the black-clad youth was eyeing him aggressively, the ’Demon Puppet’ controlled by Lanni Barnes was also stepping toward him, and its speed was getting faster and faster.

Eventually, it even stirred up gusts of wind and thunder!

"You’re called ’Indigo’? As long as you don’t interfere with today’s affairs... I’ll recommend you to join our Fire Worship Sect and become one of our ’Bronze Flame Elders’."

Taking a deep breath, gripping the ’Asura Blade’ at the same time, Maximus Lee looked at Indigo and said in a tone he thought was very tempting, "With your potential, you’ll eventually become an ’Elder Silver Flame’ like me!"

Of course, he was just saying this.

If Indigo didn’t interfere, after he killed Lanni Barnes, he would definitely kill Indigo too.

Not for anything else, just for the super sacred artifact ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’ in Indigo’s hand!

It was much more powerful than the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand, ranking among the top three on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’!

Although Indigo had forcefully repelled his attack just now with the ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’, that was only because his attack wasn’t initially aimed at Indigo but at Lanni Barnes.

Otherwise, Indigo wouldn’t have been able to repel his attack!

In a one-on-one fight, whether it’s Lanni Barnes or Indigo, he fears none of them.

But once the two join forces...

He admitted he was not their opponent!

"Join the Fire Worship Sect, become a loser like you? Do you think I’m interested?"

Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, Indigo laughed coldly. His tone showed no courtesy, giving Maximus no face at all.

"You’re courting death!"

Indigo’s words instantly infuriated Maximus Lee, who was so angry he wanted to kill him immediately.

However, when he saw the ’Demon Puppet’ controlled by Lanni Barnes coming to kill him, the killing intent he just felt was weakened again, and he immediately wanted to turn around and escape.

He already had a plan:

Now, a wise man knows not to fight when the odds are adverse. He will leave first...

He’ll kill ’Lanni Barnes’ or ’Indigo’ one by one when they are alone!

Unfortunately, the thought was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

Now, could he, Maximus Lee, leave just because he wanted to?

Boom!!

Just as Maximus Lee’s figure moved to flee afar, a thunderous explosion came from the distant sky.

The next moment, ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’, appearing at an unknown time in the distant sky and transforming into a colossal mountain, fell right on time, covering the sky and blotting out the sun as if it could suppress everything in the world.

Boom!!

Though Maximus Lee hastily used the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand, he was still injured by the preemptively fallen ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’, coughing up several mouthfuls of congestion, appearing quite unsightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

At the same time, Lanni Barnes also manipulated the ’Demon Puppet’ to charge toward Maximus Lee at an exceedingly fast speed, as if rushing to beat a ’falling dog’, going fiercely forward, like with divine assistance.

And with every step taken by Lanni Barnes controlling the ’Demon Puppet’, the void trembled, and as the sound of explosion erupted, it seemed like it stomped right on Maximus’s chest, causing his face to change color successively.

Above was the ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’, behind was Lanni Barnes controlling the ’Demon Puppet’, and in front was the formidable ’Indigo’.

At that moment, Maximus Lee also realized that it was tough for him to escape.

"I’ll fight!!"

Taking a deep breath, a chilling light shot out from Maximus Lee’s eyes.

He was never a kind person, and when pushed to the brink, he certainly wouldn’t sit and wait for death.

"As long as I kill one first... the other won’t be a concern!"

With this thought, Maximus Lee turned around and faced Lanni Barnes’s controlled ’Demon Puppet’, clearly treating Lanni Barnes as a ’soft target’, wanting to take down Lanni Barnes first and then deal with Indigo.

However, the development of the situation was beyond his wildest dreams!

Lanni Barnes and Indigo, two who seemed to be at odds, displayed remarkable synergy when joining forces.

Every time they coordinated their attacks, it seemed blessed by gods, a harmony even twins might not possess!

In a short time, Maximus Lee, under enormous pressure, also suffered frequent injuries.

Initially, they were only minor injuries.

But eventually, he suffered successive severe wounds, and his aura weakened accordingly.

A moment later, Maximus Lee’s previous ferocity and ruthlessness were no more, and he appeared like a wilted eggplant.

"Indigo, as long as you and I join forces to kill Lanni Barnes... I’ll give you this ’Asura Blade’!"

Realizing that he would inevitably die if this continued, Maximus Lee began to find a way to save himself, immediately thinking of using the super sacred artifact ’Asura Blade’ in his hands to entice Indigo to defect.

Unfortunately, he was destined for disappointment.

"Asura Blade? A super sacred artifact that isn’t even as good as the ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’ in my hand... do you think I’d be interested?"

Faced with Maximus Lee’s ’temptation’, Indigo was disdainful, and at the same time, controlled the ’Ten Thousand Mountain Seal’ to crush down, shattering the protective shield condensed by Saint Origin on Maximus Lee’s body.

"Wow!!"

Once again, with his defenses shattered, Maximus Lee naturally suffered a backlash, spewing out another large mouthful of congested blood, furthering his injuries.

A moment later, under the joint efforts of Lanni Barnes and Indigo, Maximus Lee ultimately died at their hands.

The Elder Silver Flame of the Fire Worship Sect, the first Elder Silver Flame of the ’Black Tortoise Altar’, perished in the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain like this.

This news, once spread out, will inevitably cause a huge shock in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land.

It should be noted:

Maximus Lee, besides being the Elder Silver Flame of the Fire Worship Sect, is also a Saint Immortal of the fourth transformation!

He is ranked among the top on the Extreme Saint Ranking, positioned at 139th, making him a noteworthy powerhouse in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!

And such a formidable figure died here, died in the ’Lower Domain,’ which the powerhouses of the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land looked down upon.

"I’ll give you that broken knife... I’ll take his ’Storage Ring’!"

After killing Maximus Lee, Du Gu said casually, took the Storage Ring from Maximus Lee’s corpse, and turned away directly.

From start to finish, he didn’t even glance at the ’Asura Blade’.

I don’t know if he really disregards the ’Asura Blade’ or if there’s some other reason.

"Thank you."

Gazing at Du Gu’s departing figure from afar, Lanni Barnes promptly expressed his gratitude, and after thanking him, his attention was fully drawn by the ’Asura Blade’.

Swish!

Lanni Barnes immediately left the ’Saint Demon Puppet’, and once out, he took the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand.

"Congratulations, House Master!"

"Congratulations, House Master!"

...

When Lanni Barnes took the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand, Asa Honorston, Zachary Tackman, and the other members of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, promptly looked towards Lanni Barnes and congratulated him.

"Asura Blade!"

Looking at the ’Asura Blade’ in his hand, Lanni Barnes felt a slight tremor in his heart, and his gaze became increasingly radiant.

This blade is not an ordinary blade.

It is the super sacred artifact ’Asura Blade’, one of the top ten super sacred artifacts listed on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’!

Now that he obtained it, his strength will certainly increase significantly.

For him, this is a great joy!

Just when Lanni Barnes was overjoyed for acquiring the ’Asura Blade’, in the distant north of the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, at the location of the ’Inter-Realm Teleportation Array’, yet another disturbance occurred.

Boom!!

Rumble rumble!!

...

It sounded like the earth shaking and mountains swaying, the firmament collapsing—the rumbling noise making the watchers near the ’Inter-Realm Teleportation Array’ change their expressions, "What’s going on? What happened?"

"Oh no!!"

The next moment, seeming to have realized something, the watchers’ expressions changed again.

In the direction of his gaze:

The location of the Array Foundation that constitutes the ’Inter-Realm Teleportation Array’, on that towering snow mountain, besides the surface ice and snow instantly melting, followed by another round of earth shaking and mountain swaying.

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

...

Along with a series of cracking sounds, the watchers clearly saw:

On the towering giant mountain, where the Array Foundation of the Inter-Realm Teleportation Array is located, timely appeared a series of hideous cracks—later, the cracks became even more prevalent.

Soon, the watchers saw the towering giant mountain fall, and the ’foundation’ of the Inter-Realm Teleportation Array was destroyed.

"No!!"

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the watchers changed their expressions drastically, their eyes turning red with urgency.

Only now did they react.

The destruction of the foundation of the Inter-Realm Teleportation Array also meant the disappearance of the Inter-Realm Teleportation Array in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, which means he couldn’t return to the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land!

How could he not be anxious!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

And just when the watchers were anxious and distressed, another series of loud noises attracted their attention.

The next second, the watchers were horrified to discover:

In the place where the towering giant mountain used to stand, the void trembled, and eventually, clear visible vortexes appeared, and their swirling speed grew ever faster.

These vortexes are reverse vortexes, exerting pushing force on this side instead of suction.

These vortexes seemed to be swallowing things from the other side of the void, as if wanting to devour and transfer them over to their side.

Focused attention, the watchers clearly saw:

In the very center of one of the vortexes, in that piece of darkness, two cow horns suddenly appeared.

Yes, cow horns!

And behind the two cow horns, a hideous and terrifying cow head also appeared before his eyes.

In an instant, a tall and huge monster also appeared before his eyes.

The reason it is deemed a ’monster’ is because the other has a human body with a cow’s head, and the figure is vastly larger than normal human proportions.

"So many!"

At the same time, the watchers also saw:

In other vortexes, several human-bodied, cow-headed ’monsters’ emerged in succession.
