Apotheosis

Although Lawler's reaction was fast, he was still nowhere near the Snake Spirit King's level.

Before he could even think to dodge, the Snake Spirit King's tail had already hit him square on the chest.

Boom!

A huge hole appeared on the Wine Basin as Lawler's body was shattered into pieces and the set of golden coordinates hidden under his wing was exposed.

Duran and Orval exchanged looks and quickly spread their wings to rush towards the golden coordinates.

Their loyalty to their king was absolute and they would do everything to protect him.

Bang! Bang!

However, before the two Bird Masters could even get close, the Snake Spirit King had already lashed at them.

Their hearts dropped to see the Snake Spirit King's long tail snatch the set of golden coordinates from Lawler. To their horror, he immediately put it into his mouth.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to destroy coordinates so easily and often needed a special space hammer to do so.

However, the Snake Spirit King was no ordinary person. "My kindest and most honest friend," he muttered with the golden coordinates in his mouth, "goodbye."

Just as he bit down, a black light suddenly flashed ten feet away from his tail.

As this black light reached him, the Snake Spirit King instantly stiffened in fear.

Buzz!

To his absolute horror, the black light continued to spread and move along his body.

Treacherous Beings did not have bones, neither did those at the Snake Spirit King's level but this black light outlined his spine and skull clearly.

"We can't kill Sheehan," the Snake Spirit King suddenly declared.

Sewell frowned in displeasure. "Why not?!"

"Because he is still useful," the Snake Spirit King replied.

"He'll ruin our plans!" Sewell pointed out.

"Just do as I say!"

The Snake Spirit King spat out the golden coordinates he had previously put in his mouth and threw it towards Duran.

Filled with great inertia, the golden coordinates smashed Duran to the ground.

"I..."

The Snake Spirit King was very unwilling to give up and wanted to rush towards the golden coordinates. However, just as he was about to step forward, his body stiffened. He turned around and promptly left the battlefield.

This left Sewell, Duran, Orval, and Lawler gaping in astonishment. They absolutely had no idea what just happened.

"My king! My king!"

Sewell shouted as he followed after the Snake Spirit King.

"Retreat."

The Snake Spirit King's order was concise and demanded to be followed.

Sewell, however, was still unwilling and shook his head.

"We can annihilate the whole Bird Spirit Sect at this point. We can't stop now. We have to..."

However, before he could finish his words, the Snake Spirit King shot him a cold glare and silenced him. "Do you dare disobey me?"

As the second most important figure in their sect, Sewell was someone who served the Sn

a of what had just happened when the jade pendant integrated itself onto the Lone Sword.

Compared to the last time he saw it, the Lone Sword's aura had changed and the energy that emanated from it was extremely astonishing. It was no longer the broken weapon that exuded no aura. It seemed like a proper, powerful weapon now.

Rocher felt it but couldn't figure out how it happened. However, he remained very interested in the Lone Sword.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The big bell in the Divine Bell City began to tremble intermittently. Time was almost up.

With a smile on his face, Rocher reached out and grasped the Lone Sword. Once the sound stopped, he would automatically leave the Mysterious Yellow Tower.

However, when he turned around, he found an old, sage-like man in front of him.

His first instinct was to ask this man for identification. "Who are..." However, he changed his mind halfway. "Are you the owner of the Mysterious Yellow Tower?" Rocher asked.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord nodded.

"Did you show up because I reached the top?" he asked. Rocher wasn't that surprised at the owner's appearance.

In fact, he figured that it was only a matter of time before this happened.

However, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord shook his head. "I want you to deliver a message to Mike."

Rocher's eyes widened. "Bring a message to Holy Mike?"

It wasn't easy for him to reach the thirty-third floor yet when he got there, the owner of the tower suddenly appeared and asked him to deliver a message to Zen's father. What exactly was going on?

Rocher shook his head. He shouldn't think about it too much right now. "What's the message?" he asked.

A small butterfly appeared upon the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's hand. He tossed it and Rocher watched it fly down and land on the eighth floor.

"Let Mike ring the bell and enter the tower to bear this butterfly," the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord instructed.
