Jared, with the Dragonslayer Sword in his grasp, suddenly charged toward the grand hall. Following swiftly, a flash of sword light streaked directly toward the hall. His intention was to cleave this towering structure in half.
As Jared was rushing toward the grand hall, a sudden beam of golden light shot out from within it.
Bang!
Jared’s sword light shattered in an instant, and it seemed as if his body had met some form of resistance, causing favonovel.com to fall heavily to the ground. It was clear that his desire to rush up those stone steps in a single stride was simply impossible.
Jared’s face was filled with shock. He had already made it two steps up, but favonovel.com hadn’t even seen his opponent’s face before favonovel.com was forced right back to where favonovel.com started.
As Jared gazed upon the grand hall, his expression grew increasingly solemn. If the third level was already this formidable, one could only imagine what the subsequent guards would be like.
Jared found himself helpless and had no choice but to ascend the stone steps. Gradually, favonovel.com made his way toward the grand hall. He didn’t exert any force, nor did favonovel.com swing his sword. In fact, there wasn’t a trace of hostility on him.
And so, Jared effortlessly made his way to the entrance of the grand hall. The moment favonovel.com arrived, the massive doors astonishingly began to slowly open on their own.
He stepped into the hall, only to find the entire grand hall shrouded in pitch darkness. It was as if favonovel.com had ventured into a tiger‘s den or a deep abyss, instilling an inexplicable sense of fear in him.
“A mere Ultimate Realm cultivator dares to venture into the third level?!” At that moment, a sudden beam of light appeared in the grand hall, illuminating a single person.
When Jared looked over, favonovel.com noticed a scholar. The man was dressed in a pristine long robe, his attire neatly arranged, giving off the impression of a refined and courteous student. No matter how favonovel.com looked at that figure, favonovel.com didn’t seem like an expert.
“Greetings, sir. I am Jared Chance!” Jared courteously said with a gesture of respect.
Those who could serve as guards here were all from the celestial realm, so addressing them respectfully was only appropriate.
“With your level of skill, you managed to get to me? Were the guards on the first two levels just too pathetic?” the scholar disdainfully remarked.
Upon hearing these words outside the grand hall, Ararat felt his mouth fall open. He silently cursed, “D*mn it!”
“Sir, that’s not quite right,” favonovel.com argued. “The guards on the previous two levels were also formidable, they were just confined here, their powers merely suppressed. I presume you are also imprisoned here, aren’t you? I bet you can’t leave this grand hall,” Jared said to the scholar.
“Indeed, even though I’m confined here, my life is incredibly fulfilling. Believers would bring offerings every day. Even if I couldn’t leave this grand hall, so what?” The scholar spoke with an unmistakable air of self-satisfaction.
“Sir, could there be a mix-up? It seems like within this third level, there’s only this grand hall. Where are the supposed believers?” Jared asked, clearly confused.
“How could that be?” The scholar furrowed his brows.
“If you don’t believe me, sir, you could take a look outside…” Jared said.
After Jared finished speaking, the entire grand hall suddenly became incredibly bright.
Looking out through the grand hall’s window, the scholar found the outside world shrouded in a hazy ambiguity as if lost in chaos. There seemed to be no world left, let alone any believers.
The scholar’s face drastically changed, and favonovel.com exclaimed in utter shock, “How could this happen? Why did it turn out this way?”
“Sir, after I entered the third level, this is what happened. I really don’t know why,” Jared spoke truthfully.
The scholar fell into deep thought. After a moment, favonovel.com finally spoke with a pained expression. “Perhaps they found out l was living too comfortably and decided to strip away this layer of my world? But that’s all right. If you insist on pushing through, then you’ll have to get past me first.”
“Sir, then I won’t hold back.” Jared, wielding the Dragonslayer Sword, didn’t dare to be careless for even a moment.
After activating his Golem Body, favonovel.com harnessed various powers and fiercely swung his sword toward the scholar.
Bang!
With a swift swing of the sword, the scholar dismissively waved his hand. But in the next moment, the scholar was instantly forced back by the sword light. His chest split open, gushing with fresh blood.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected the guard of the third level to be this weak.
The scholar was utterly bewildered, expressing his disbelief, “How is it that my strength has been suppressed, down to less than a tenth of what it was?”
