Chapter 567 The Traitor


    Both sides were entangled in a fierce struggle. It was hard to tell who was winning!


    At this very moment, Envy King Leroy Channing was relentlessly pressing Ignatius with his Dark Bone


    Sword. The sword light shed, invoking the Ninth Divine! Ghost sword auras swirled around Ignatius.


    Those ghost sword auras were incredibly soft and gentle, like countless enchanting beauties entwining


    around one, leaving one feeling utterly confused and emotionally bewildered!


    Ignatius had been holding back his true strength. He didn''t feel any sense of belonging to the Divine


    Realm. Gabriel also reminded him to sit back and reap the benefits, so he didn''t really want to take out


    Leroy.


    Little did he know that Leroy now wanted his life.


    Ignatius couldn''t help but feel irritated, and in an instant, he summoned his Cycle Soul Sword.


    In an instant, a sword light chilled the air!


    The Cycle Soul Sword released a vast surge of energy, and at the same time, a golden radiance shone


    brilliantly. In an instant, all the ghost sword auras werepletely obliterated!


    Ignatius gave a shake to the Cycle Soul Sword in his hand, following which all the golden radiance


    gathered together. It formed a streak of golden sword aura.


    With a single thought from Ignatius, the golden sword aura shot toward Leroy like a divine spirit.


    Leroy felt the formidable and vast power of the golden sword aura. He was taken aback and


    immediatelymanded the Dark Bone Sword to block it repeatedly.


    The Dark Bone Sword and the golden sword aura shed repeatedly, until finally, with a resounding


    bang, the golden sword aura astonishingly cleaved the Dark Bone Sword in two.


    Leroy turned pale with shock.


    A chill shed in Ignatius''s eyes. With a swift forward movement, he directed his Cycle Soul Sword


    straight toward Leroy, aiming for a deadly strike.


    Leroy feared Ignatius''s Cycle Soul Sword, so he quickly retreated. His own soldiers immediately


    surrounded and attacked Ignatius. Ignatius didn''t really want to kill Leroy, so he simply stepped back,


    avoiding the attack.


    He moved deftly through the battlefield, constantly observing the state of the war. If anyone foolish


    enough dared to attack him, he would swiftly cut them down with his Cycle Soul Sword!


    Upon noticing that Ignatius did note after him to kill him, Leroy also breathed a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, Oswald and Pride King were still engaged in a battle that was too close to call.


    Oswald now possessed profound mana, effortlessly manipting the maic force. He relied on


    these maic fields and molecules to disy his physical skills to a level of divine mastery.


    His Vermilion Jade Ruler was tightly mped onto Pride King''s emerald scepter, leaving both parties


    momentarily at a stalemate and unable to gain the upper hand over the other.


    The battle on Richard''s side was even more thrilling. Richard single-handedly fought against Camio


    and Sloth King, not falling behind in the slightest.


    This scene was also witnessed by Oswald, Gideon, and Ignatius when they had a spare moment. The


    three of them were secretly shocked. They thought that if things continued this way, with Richard


    controlling the Luminary Vessel and possessing such a magic item, he would be the new master


    of Divine Realm.


    Richard''s Demon yer relentlessly pursued Sloth King and Greed King, Camio. The Demon yer,


    with its demonic sounds and bloody sword beams, was unpredictable as Richard''s figure flittered


    around. This greatly annoyed Camio.


    Just then, Richard''s disciple, Gregory, suddenly stepped in. “Master, let me assist you.” He intercepted


    Camio in an instant.


    “You''re seeking death!” Camio''s five fingers spread open, unleashing five streams of ck, malicious


    energy. These five streams instantly enveloped Gregory.


    Gregory hastily retreated, but he couldn''t avoid it.


    It seemed that Gregory was about to meet his end under this move, the Dark Soul w from Greed


    King.


    At this moment, Richard didn''t consider much else. He was simply unwilling to let his disciple, whom he


    had raised since young, die at the hands of Camio.


    Richard swiftly appeared before Gregory with the Sovereign Mirror. As the Dark Soul w lunged at


    him, Richard retaliated with a swing of his Demon yer!


    Suddenly, the Dark Soul w was shattered into dust by the sword beam!


    Camio immediately used the Heaven and Earth Bell to suppress it!


    Richard grabbed Gregory, then they swiftly left using the Sovereign Mirror.


    At that moment, if Richard had disregarded Gregory, there was absolutely no danger to him.


    But in that instant, as Richard teleported from one side of the Sovereign Mirror to the other, he


    suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back!


    It was Gregory who had pierced Richard''s back with a sword!


    This sword pierced the heart not only physically but also emotionally.


    Richard coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot. In an instant, all his vital energy waspletely


    drained.


    Meanwhile, Camio stepped forward,nding a palm strike on Richard''s chest and abdomen.


    Richard spewed out another mouthful of fresh blood, and his Sovereign Mirror instantly fell into Camio''s


    hands.


    He took several steps back, eventually ending up sitting on the ground.


    Gregory had alreadye up behind Camio.


    “Master!” Beatrix had just witnessed the scene. With eyes filled with rage, she quickly rushed up to


    Richard.


    “Why?” Richard turned to look at Gregory.


    The surrounding fights had temporarily ceased due to this unexpected turn of events.


    In Richard''s eyes, there was no one else. He was just looking at Gregory, asking in despair, “Why?”


    His life was already hanging by a thread, and he was already at death''s door!


    But he refused to give up the ghost, for even in death, he couldn''tprehend why all this was


    happening.


    Gregory avoided Richard''s gaze, choosing not to look at him.


    Camio gave a cold smile, saying, “Richard, considering your impending death, I''ll tell you why. It''s


    because Gregory has already pledged his allegiance to me. He has decided to serve me loyally. A wise


    man goes whichever way the wind blows. Divine Realm is already in decline, so he needs to side with


    me to have a glorious future. Men will do anything to seed. What''s there for you not to understand?”


    “Gregory!” Beatrix roared in fury, her eyes bloodshot. She was ready to charge forward, prepared to


    fight to the death.


    Just then, Richard suddenly exerted all his strength to hold onto Beatrix. He spat out a mouthful of


    blood toward Beatrix and said, “Don''t...”


    As soon as these words were spoken, Richard''s body slumped, and he died on the spot!


    “Master!” Beatrix''s face was covered in blood, making her look particrly ferocious. She held Richard,


    her sorrow and grief reaching a peak.


    “Let''s go!” Camio suddenly shouted, and without another word, he turned and left.


    Seeing the situation, the rest of the Kings of Eara Gate immediately turned around and led the


    majority of their forces to follow suit.


    At this very moment, Divine Realm was already at a disadvantage. If the other party wanted to leave,


    they naturally wouldn''t try to stop them.


    In fact, at the moment Richard died, a flicker of fear shed through the hearts of Oswald and Gideon!


    We might die too!


    This battle concluded with the death of Richard.


    The true purpose of the Ten Kings of Eara Gate''s visit remained a mystery.


    The whole event left everyone feeling confused.


    As Jonathan was preparing to meet with Joanne in Wildefield, he received a call from Alice.


    Alice''s voice was heavy on the phone. “Jonathan, I have some bad news to tell you. You must stay


    calm and listen to me...”


    A jolt went through Jonathan''s heart. Could it be Catherine?


    The first person he thought of was Catherine.

    “What''s wrong?” Jonathan tried hard to stay calm.


    “Your master, Richard, is dead!” said Alice.


    “What? Can you say that again?” Jonathan was taken aback, feeling as if his head was about to


    explode. It was as if he was struck by lightning!


    It was ten in the morning in Lostaria when Jonathan arrived swiftly at Divine Realm.


    There, a mourning hall had already been set up in Chard Hall.


    Oswald, Ignatius, Gideon, and many other disciples were all present.


    Everyone was dressed in ck, and the atmosphere in the mourning hall was heavy and deste.


    Richard didn''t have many disciples and only just a handful.


    Now, Jonathan was the only one they could get in touch with.


    So, only Jonathan and Beatrix were there to bid farewell to Richard.


    When Jonathan entered the mourning hall, he practically tumbled and crawled his way to the front of


    the hall.


    Richard''s bodyy amidst a sea of flowers, while Beatrix knelt before his body!


    “Master!” Jonathan''s eyes welled up with tears; he could no longer hold them back.


    Richard was like a loving father in Jonathan''s heart! He had been upright and sincere in his treatment


    of Jonathan.


    Jonathan had lost his parents since he was a child, so he cherished his master, Richard, all the more.


    He was not a fool. Why else would he give a treasure like the Sovereign Mirror to Richard?


    Sobbing, Beatrix stood before the body of Richard and said, “Master, Jonathan hase to see you.


    Please open your eyes and look!”


    No matter how much Beatrix wept and pleaded, Richard would never wake up again.


    Ignatius observed everything with a cold gaze. He suddenly let out a sigh of relief, feeling that Jonathan


    really wasn''t much of an adversary.


    After all, Jonathan was too emotional.


    If a person could be swayed by their emotions, it signified that they had ws. A wed person was not


    someone to be feared.


    Ignatius admitted that he too had ws, such as his deep concern for his father. However, the


    difference was that his father, Tristan, was the Demon Emperor, an existence of supreme power. No


    one had the ability to use his father to threaten him. Not even the Divine Emperor could!


    Three dayster, Richard was buried in Mount Frallein.


    That night, Jonathan and Beatrix left Divine Realm.


    They were making a true departure from the Divine Realm. At the very least, they wouldn''t be returning


    any time soon.


    Both Beatrix and Jonathan knew very well that their master, Richard, was no longer with them.


    So, there was nothing and no one left in the Divine Realm that the two of them held dear. Moreover, the


    power struggles within the Divine Realm had be far too intense.


    Ignatius and his group possessed the cultivation of Void Stage. If Jonathan and Beatrix continue to stay


    in the Divine Realm, they would only be oppressed. On the contrary, leaving was the best option. At


    least Oswald and his group wouldn''t have time to bother Jonathan and his group in the short term.


    Oswald had way too many things to deal with.


    He had to struggle for power and profits!


    Jonathan and Beatrix boarded the flight to the Demon Emperor. The two were seated in first ss.


    “It''s all my fault!” Beatrix''s face was still streaked with tears. She was no longer the aloof senior, but a


    guilty little girl. She spoke with immense self-reproach. “Jonathan, you had already warned me to be


    wary of that beast, Gregory, but I didn''t believe you.”


    Jonathan sat next to Beatrix with his arm draped over her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.


    “Beatrix, you can''t me yourself for this. If anyone is to me, it should be me for giving the


    Sovereign Mirror to Master. They came because they coveted the Sovereign Mirror.”


    Beatrix propped herself up, shaking her head as she said, “How could this be your fault? You brought


    out the Sovereign Mirror for his sake. If it weren''t for that beast Gregory, our master would already be


    invincible within the Divine Realm. He was able to effortlessly fend off the attacks of the two Kings of


    Eara Gate thanks to the Sovereign Mirror.”


    At this point, Beatrix couldn''t help but express her anger, saying, “Master died because he was trying to


    save that beast, Gregory. Otherwise...”
