Injured, Nikolai took a few steps back. He looked towards Dorothy, then looked at the sky. “D*mn it. This is getting messy!”
He no longer wanted to fight, nor did favonovel.com want the grand opportunity in the building. Even if they were able to obtain the grand opportunity, favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to get his share either. With deity masters around, favonovel.com couldn’t do much about it.
Dorothy and Phoenix decided not to go after the man.
“Get in the boundary!” Daya said as favonovel.com carried Jade in favonovel.com arms, rushing into the Thousand Flag Formation. At the same time, favonovel.com asked Phoenix, “How long is Alex going to be in that state?”
The few of them immediately entered the formation. Phoenix then replied. “To be honest, I don’t know either!”
“What? Not even you know about that?” Daya was shocked.
“According to my calculation, favonovel.com would take ten minutes at most. That amount of time was already quite decent, since the process is very torturing, so most wouldn’t be able to endure it.”
“The quality of one’s body is the biggest challenge one would have to face throughout the process. Yet favonovel.com managed to go on for more than an hour.” Phoenix explained. That was why favonovel.com couldn’t give a rough estimate, since it depended on Alex’s determination and endurance.
“What now? Those guys in the sky are coming towards us!”
“It’s alright, the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation can still hold on for a while.”
During their conversation, the people in Yukon came over.
Winnie instantly flopped into favonovel.com mother’s arms. “Mama! I’ve missed you, so so much! You’re a hero, Mama! You beat the bad guys away…”
Beatrice looked at Dorothy. “Are you my sister?”
At this point in time, Dorothy’s aura seemed different, despite favonovel.com looks remaining the same. Even though favonovel.com was standing right before them, Beatrice couldn’t help but feel like favonovel.com was looking at an ethereal ancient being.
“Mhm!” Dorothy nodded and asked, “Where are the kids? I’d like to see them!”

There were more and more people at the foot of Mount Yukon. Those were the outsiders who came in from the Earth’s atmosphere. There was a boundary that barricaded them out, but it was no match for true powerful masters.
Boom!
One of the airships shot out a beam of spiritual light, breaking the boundary in the blink of an eye. It even left a giant hole at the gates of the mountain, letting several people rush in.
“Let’s go!”
“We need to go to the main area, that’s where all the good stuff is!”
“The grand opportunity is ours now! Don’t be too modest with these Wasteland natives! Just kill, kill, kill all of them!”
Within moments, the first wave of outsiders arrived before the Thousand Flag Formation. Not hesitating in the slightest, they started slashing the boundary. After that, the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation appeared, immediately trapping and killing those people off.
The others who followed behind were stunned. They stopped in their tracks, whereas some backed away as well.
Phoenix glared at them. “Come up if you’d like to have a taste at death.”
‘F*ck!’
‘The Immortal-slaying Sword Formation is here.’
‘What difference did it make when we were still outside of the Earth’s atmosphere then?’
‘All the good stuff is in Yukon.’
Just then, someone blurted out their thoughts. “If we can’t get into Yukon, we can just go to another sanctuary. Those places are Immortal Magic grounds from ancient times after all, so there must be all kinds of treasure somewhere. Let’s go!”
These words instantly reminded everyone who was present, which made them run off right there and then. No one wanted to face the formation after all. Now that they were in the Wastelands, sensing that spiritual energy was recovering, they figured that it’d be best to scavenge other treasure for the time being.

Hours passed, then days passed.
Alex was still within the Jade building, meditating and unconscious. His three thousand Nascent Souls had matured right that moment.
