Chapter 450.

The encounter with the old seer was pretty jarring, but it wouldn't stop Zac from moving. He had his goals, and he knew that one couldn’t get anywhere in this world without knocking out the competition. It was not a matter of Ogras-induced cynicism, but a rather reality forced onto everyone by the System. If there was no conflict, then one would be created.

Hearing the old seer's final words indicated that the worlds he traversed might all be real, but did it really change anything? H...

Chapter 449.

Zac's heart hammered with horror as he plunged further and further into the abyss. He tried to find something to hold on to, but he found himself pelted by one rock after another as massive boulders detached from the walls and slammed into him with the force of a speeding truck. There was no way that this wasn't the work of the old Hayner Patriarch.

He did however notice that the old man had fallen inside as well, and he was some ways above him. But his situation didn't seem nearly as b...

Chapter 448.

Brazla had only turned a bit schizophrenic and annoying over time, but he wasn't strictly dangerous. However, it was possible that some Tool Spirits turned sinister as they went insane. Zac knew there had to be some benefit to the sword though as the swordsman used it as an ace. The half-moon attack had contained a shocking sharpness that cut both his mountain and array apart, was it perhaps only possible to conjure such an attack with this sword?

Zac was loath to carry the weird sword ...

Chapter 447.

Danger sense erupted in Zac's mind the next moment, and he desperately swiveled [Everlasting] to block a strike coming from behind. A dark-green lance had appeared out of nowhere, aimed straight at Zac’s core. Zac tried to dodge, but his bulky body wasn’t quick enough and he barely managed to reposition himself before the lance slid right through his armor as though it was made of paper before continuing into his side.

Radiating pain spread throughout his body, and ...

Chapter 446.

The mental defense skills available to either of his classes were of no help against the Splinter. For example, [Indomitable] formed a formidable wall around Zac's soul, but it didn’t help when the threat was already a part of him. The [Nine Reincarnations Manual] might help, but he still hadn’t found anyone who could create the second Array Disk required to practice it. Having just one of the arrays was useless, and he couldn’t even begin to practice t...

Chapter 445.

[Seventh Floor Complete. Upgrading Title.]

[Choose Reward: Evolution of [Verun’s Bite], Duplicity Core Upgrade to E-Grade, Upgrade of Port Atwood to World Capital]

[Additional Reward 8th place: Limited Title Slots +1, Peak F-Grade All Attribute fruit]

Zac’s pitch-black eyes went back and forth between the three choices, the pain and exhaustion almost completely blown away. Then again, the black dimension seemed to have s...

Chapter 444.

Hot hot flames and darkness. Billy didn’t like it. Billy tried to get away, but it kept following wherever he went. But suddenly the hot darkness was gone, and Billy saw he was on the mountain again.

“You were having a nightmare,” the statue said.

“Billy told you, Billy won’t listen to you, Statue-man!” Billy snorted with disdain as he glared at the twenty-meter statue. “Trying to trick Billy that Billy is not human!”

The statue-man loudly groaned in response...

Chapter 443.

Zac felt like a block of swiss cheese as he desperately rotated his new Fragment while eating Healing Pills like they were candy. Whatever that assassin had infused himself with had made him disgustingly durable, and Zac couldn’t believe how many Dao-infused strikes it took to force him to give in.

Scabs had covered almost every part of his blackened body, and he looked more like an undead compared to Zac himself by the end. It appeared that whatever the black spike infused into the m...

Chapter 442.

Finally succeeding in upgrading [Profane Seal] during his climb was one of Zac's greatest gains while climbing the 7th floor. The upgrade added five more chains that extended from the top of five massive tombstones that had been added to the cage, and they would be sorely needed to catch the slippery assassin. 

The additional chains wasn't the only benefit from the skill evolving. Dense scripts lit up with azure luster on top of the huge tombstones, and they formed...

Chapter 441.

The vision of the consecrated tree and its kingdom slowly faded as Zac returned to his body. Before he fell into the vision his soul had been crumbling while his body was grievously wounded, but he realized his body was almost completely healed upon waking up. A vigorous energy was gathered at his remaining wounds, and he felt them close with enough efficacy to put most of his healing pills to shame.

A thought struck Zac and he immediately opened his Dao Menu, and as expected there was ...

Chapter 440.

Zac rapidly spun around to find himself face to face with an angelic girl who smiled in his direction. She had appeared out of nowhere, and Zac frowned as he swung his axe toward her neck without hesitation. His Danger Sense was quiet but his instincts screamed of danger, and Zac infused his body with the Fragment of the Coffin while the spiritual forest reappeared around him mid-swing.

But she only looked on with a smile, her eyes trained at his.

There was finally a response of d...

Chapter 439.

Zac briefly wondered if the swordsman had assumed him to be a weakling due to his cluelessness about the Battle of Fates. 

A burst of Zac’s shocking killing intent spread out as he moved with lightning speed, his axe already falling toward the youth as a storm of leaves pushed away the three hovering blades temporarily. The man’s eyes widened in surprise, but the display didn't deter him as a sharp aura radiated from him as he met Zac's attack with the sword in his hand.

...

Chapter 438.

“Supremacy…” Zac mumbled with some helplessness.

At least there was no confusion about what needed to be done this time. It was a Battle Royale. It made Zac remember when he sat wounded and wrung out in the tunnels of his crystal mine, and the quest for the Fruit of Ascension suddenly popped up.

The system had told the inhabitants of the island to fight for supremacy back then as well, and what followed was a bloodbath. This time things were slightly fuzzy though. Was this r...

Chapter 437.

Barely healed wounds covered Zac’s whole body after hacking and slashing his way through the 7th floor, and he breathed out in relief when he saw that he wouldn’t face the floor guardian of the 7th floor immediately. Not even the thick armor of [Vanguard of Undeath] had been enough to prevent him from getting hurt from the increasingly intense battles.  

He had already spent a full day to restore his combat strength to its peak on the 62nd  level, but he s...

Chapter 436.

Ogras warily looked around as he appeared in the new world. Only when he saw that he had appeared on a busy street did he allow himself to look down at the gash at his side. Luckily the mayor’s all-out attack had barely missed as Ogras jumped onto the teleporter, allowing him to avoid wasting a week recuperating. 

Who knew that the old goat would become so infuriated? Becoming a grandfather should be a happy occasion, after all.

That world was done with, but he couldn’t h...

Chapter 435.

"We weren't successful in inscribing the life-aspected formation," she sighed as she took out a couple of pitch-black array disks. "You will likely need a life-attuned Array Master for that half. I do maintain some contact with a master who might be able to do it, but it will probably require a few months."

Zac stared at the inscriptions with bemusement for a second before he looked down at the densely inscribed array disks. Was there really a need to leave him on a cliff like that just...

Chapter 434.

The departure of the spectral warriors left only Zac and the remaining inside the cage, along with a hundred decaying bodies that slowly replenished his reserves with miasma. He was still uncomfortably low on energy though, so he bit down on a pitch-black pill that turned into a thick sludge that ran down his throat. A surge of miasma spread through his body, almost instantly restoring a fifth of his miasma reserves. 

Zac tried to not to think of the foul taste of the [Warr...
