Worldly Overlord

The black sword which was hovering in the air had been trembling since when that huge black petal had appeared from those two men.

As soon as the black sword began trembling, Devon noticed the change In it, but he suppressed the sword, restricting the movement of the sword. He could tell that the sword wanted to go after the petal.

There was something strange about that petal as it attracted the black sword.

Just when the black petal was about to land onto Devon, the black sword broke free out of the aura suppressing it, and flew towards the petal.

It then pierced through the black petal, and strangely it started absorbing all the surrounding energy. Devon stared at the black sword, wondering what was happening.

The black sword was from an origin that even he found it hard to understand, all he knew was that the weapon was powerful, and it suited him.

Ever since he got the sword, it had never shown any interest in absorbing celestial energy or cosmic energy. So, what was special about that black petal that made the sword react like that.

It was as if the battle was placed on hold, as the three men's eyes were all glued to the scene ahead. They all watched as the black sword absorbed the petal bit by bit.

The supreme elder was frightened to the extent that he wanted to grab his brother and flee away from here. The youth was already terrifying enough, now they also had to deal with swords.

When the black sword had fully absorbed the petal, it then remained in the air. The sword assumed a stance as if it was looking down on them, meanwhile, Devon smiled as he was this.

The supreme elder and sect master had already closed their eyes as they knew what awaited them was death if that sword launches at them.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The sound was like two rocks thrown against each other. One minutes passed, and no damage had been done to the supreme elder and the sect master, prompting the two of them to open their eyes.

And what they saw shocked them, but they also couldn't hide how happy they were. Seeing how things were working in their favor.

The black sword struck the protective barrier around Devon, it kept striking from different angles and the sword speed kept increasing to the extent that it couldn't be seen anymore only the sounds could be heard.

Devon's hands were still in his back. However, he gazed at the black sword with interest this time. The same couldn't be said for the barrier around him.

As the protective barrier was starting to distort and stagger under the continuous attack of the black sword. The longer the strikes went on, the more cracks began appearing around the barrier.

It was very obvious that the black sword was attacking with its full strength.

SHHRILLLLL!

A shrill sound pierced through the sect master and supreme elder ear as Devon's barrier was torn apart. The black sword immediately rushed through Devon, aiming for his chest.

The two elderly men had a face full of smiles as they watched the black sword going for Devon. Whereas Devon didn't budge from he was, even his hands were still at his back.

Not a blood came out of Devon's body, as the black sword entered inside his body.

"Ha... What the hell!" the sect master who was laughing earlier stopped as he saw what had just happened. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, this was unexpected.

Even the supreme had his mouth wide open.

Just now the black sword broke through that barrier and wanted to pierce Devon's chest, so what had just happened.

How did everything change so fast.......

The supreme elder and the sect master staggered, going to steps backward. It was as if the two of them had planned it, as both men's movement was in sync with the other.

Devon sneered at them, the black sword communicated with him and told him it really needed the energy in that petal to increase its stage.

At first, he was confused, there was no case whereby a sword increased its stage through absorbing a petal except the sword mutated, and this sword didn't. So, what was going on.

Because the black sword had stayed with him for some time, he decided to listen to it and gave the sword a chance. The black sword didn't break free from his aura, instead, Devon released it.

Just now the sword needed to get into Devon's body to increase its stage, but with the barrier around it couldn't get into Devon, so it asked Devon to remove the barrier.

However, Devon shrugged his shoulder, telling the sword to break the barrier and enter his body.

"I'm really too playful." Devon laughed, he was in a good mood. As he finally had some idea what the limit of his barrier was.

The sect master and supreme elder went seven steps backward, "Please..... Spare us.... We promise to leave this place and never appear in your front." the Supreme elder was the one who spoke.

All they could do was beg for their lives at this point.

They had no idea about whom this person was or how they had offended him, all they knew was this youth was extremely dangerous, and he wanted to kill them.

Though the sect had lots of enemies, it had still stood within its limit and never offended someone who could initiate the sect with just a flip of his or her hand.

Devon's hand was placed on his chin, as if he was contemplating about something, "Why should I?" he said.

A smile appeared on the two elderly men's faces as they believed if they could give this person something good, he might let them go. "We have several treasures, herbs, and artifacts in our vault...We can give you everything as long as you spare us."

"I can kill the both of you and have them all," Devon replied immediately.

Devon stared at the sect master and supreme elder, "I'm going to count to three if you don't have anything good to offer then..."

The duo glanced at each other several times as they began to think of the best thing they could offer for them to keep their life.

Then, the sect master seemed to have realized something, "I have information about a treasure." a grin appeared on his face as he was confident in this information he had.

Devon nodded his head, telling him to keep on talking.

"Hmmm, it is about some orb called the orb of life... Yes, that's the name." The sect master said.

Hearing the orb of life, Devon face lit up from under the mask. The orb of life was an extraordinary treasure that even if those big three heard about it, they would immediately send their envoys to come to collect it.

That could show how amazing the orb of life was.

It was also the orb that usually circles around the boss of the auction. Devon had once gotten the orb of life, but what was left in the orb was just a fraction. Even then, the effect was still incredible.

"The orb of life is currently in the hands of the Melendez family." The supreme elder stated, "Several Gold ranks and Diamond rank sect had tried getting it from them, but none of them succeeded."

Most of the people in the underground world only used the orb of life to increase their vitality and life force. However, the orb could also be used for another thing.

It took Devon time, to know what the orb of life could also be used for.

To increase his strength, Devon had to get his hands on that orb. "What rank is the Melendez family at."

"Diamond rank.... But they possess strength and backings that even those platinum rank sects and families can't underestimate."

"Do you know where the orb of life is kept in the Melendez family," Devon asked.

The sect master and supreme elder stared at each other, wondering if this man wasn't listening. They had just said that the Melendez family was a Diamond rank family.

Don't tell me he's planning on going there.

Diamond rank forces were not like those bronze forces or gold rank forces. They were powerful to the extent that some of their disciples were capable of annihilating a bronze rank sect.

Besides the vast resources they had, even those forces below them would have to offer tribute to them every year.

The sect master coughed, "A treasure like that could only be kept with their ancestors." He wished for nothing more than for Devon to go to the Melendez family.

Because going to a Diamond rank family to have their treasure was equivalent to a ticket to death villa.

Seeing how Devon was staring at them, "That the information we have... Can we go?" They said simultaneously.
