Chapter 1264


    Chapter 1264-“Ah!”


    Apanied by an agonized scream, Sterio heavily crashed onto the tform.


    The elixir field was the foundation of a cultivator. At that moment, Sterio’s elixir field had been pierced


    by a long spear, and the spiritual energy within his body was rapidly dissipating.


    Just now, Sterio single-handedly faced over a hundred aboriginal cultivators and managed to y


    them all using his spells. Such a feat could indeed be described as earth-shattering and unparalleled.


    A significant depletion of spiritual energy had left Sterio, who was already at the end of his tether,


    even more drained.


    At that point, having suffered such a heavy blow, he no longer had any strength left to resist.


    Hey on the ground and watched the dark red blood slowly seeping out of him.


    There was nothing but despair in Sterio’s eyes.


    “Why…”


    Watching the bare feet that had walked up to him, Sterio’s voice was almost trembling.


    Ever since he entered the arena, he had faced life and death several times. Now, the seal was just


    about ten meters above him, but he would never have the chance to get it.


    The person who stepped forward was none other than the kind-hearted Merilyn.


    He didn’t understand why that was happening. “You saved me, but I also protected you. I don’t


    understand. I am truly sincere toward you. Why must you act this way.”


    Upon hearing that, Merilyn slowly crouched down and then took the ck dagger, which represented


    the Mallory family’s legacy, from Sterio’s book. “As the descendant of the Great Sorcerer, there


    should be more to your abilities than this. Perhaps the Divine Realm cultivators in the Mallory family


    might have inherited some genuine legacy.”


    Sterio, using poisonous insects and deadly toxins, managed to incapacitate over a hundred people in


    a short period.


    Such an achievement, whether in the small world or outside, was enough to be recorded in the annals


    of the cultivation world.


    Despite such a track record, at that moment, it was merely referred to as a trivial aplishment by


    Merilyn.


    Not to mention Sterio, even Kathleen waspletely dumbfounded at that moment. How could a girl


    from such a small world utter words like these? Besides, she’s just an advanced phase God Realm


    cultivator. Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Sterio just now, Merilyn might not have even survived. What


    on earth is going on with this woman?


    “You’re not Merilyn…”


    “Seboxia!” Sterio roared in anger, while Kathleen, upon hearing the name of Seboxia, instantly


    leaped backward, creating a distance of several tens of meters between her and Merilyn.


    The eight respectable families had long begun investigating the origin of Jonathan’s extraordinary


    combat power. Increasingly, the evidence pointed to the possibility of an old monster residing within


    him.


    Especially on the previous Battle of River Onxy, the fierce battle between Jonathan and Quintus


    against Ivanov further confirmed that spection.


    With so many spies from the eight families within the Eastern Allied Army, identifying Seboxia’s identity


    wasn’t too difficult.


    Especially since Seboxia’s identity was legendary. He was the powerful figure who established


    Seboxiasm, the world’srgest religion.


    Someone who should have died sixteen hundred years ago suddenly reappeared and was now


    attached to Jonathan. Naturally, that would draw everyone’s attention.


    How could such a person not instill fear in Kathleen?


    Merilyn looked at Sterio on the ground, her gaze as calm as ever.


    With her hands sped together in front of her chest, Merilyn finally uttered those ssic words once


    again.


    “You are wise, Mr. Mallory, but sadly, our karmic connection hase to an end. I will now help you


    transcend, guiding you toward rebirth in the ultimate bliss.” Seboxia spoke, raising his hand and swiftly


    striking toward Sterio’s head.


    Kathleen stood at a distance, not daring to step forward. All she could do was watch Sterio meet his


    tragic end.


    At that point, Sterio also chose to ept his fate.


    The path of a cultivator must eventuallye to an end. It was just that for him, Sterio, that small


    world was his final destination.


    A surge of spiritual pressure descended, and Sterio closed his eyes without putting up any struggle.


    The pain he had anticipated did note. Sterio opened his eyes, only to find a seal had fallen in


    front of him, blocking Seboxia’s attack.


    And behind Seboxia, the man who called himself Neil had appeared once again.


    “An expert who can utilize the spiritual energy form is rare.” With a cheerful grin, Neil strolled over to


    Sterio. With a light tap in the air, the seal in front of Sterio fell into thetter’s hand.


    “I like your performance. You can live on.” Neil spoke to Sterio in a casual manner as if discussing


    something of little importance.


    Neil, the Grand Commander of Yannopolis’ South Outer City, was the actual person in charge of the


    entire Outer City.


    At that ce, he was the “God” who ruled over everything.


    Neil stood up and looked at Seboxia. “I am quite fond of this little girl. Would it be possible to spare her


    life?”


    Seboxia’s Spirit Possession Technique was incredibly domineering. When using Jonathan’s body, he


    needed to negotiate with thetter out of fear that it might harm Jonathan’s Anima.


    However, upying Merilyn’s body, Seboxia clearly didn’t have the patience to give him a heads-up in


    advance.


    Looking at Neil, Seboxia gave a slight smile.


    Then, he took a step forward, and a figure emerged from Merilyn’s body. The man held spiritual beads


    and was draped in a white robe, radiating a jade-green glow.


    Merilyn fell to the ground as if on cue while Seboxia stood by, lightly stomping the ground with his foot.


    “You’ve watched enough of the show. It’s time for you to step on stage.” As Seboxia spoke, the few


    people lowered their heads to look at the ground beneath their feet.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    A series of cracking sound rang out.


    Boom!


    With a booming sound, Jonathan and Hayden sprang out from beneath the square tform,nding


    steadily beside Seboxia.


    “You guys…”


    Sterio was momentarily taken aback as he gazed at the spirited duo but quickly understood the ins


    and outs of the situation.


    “Ha! Jonathan, you sure are cunning!”


    “Don’t say it like that,” Jonathan said, looking at Sterio, whose cultivation was ruined, and waved his


    hand. “I really did block the pursuers for you at that time. It was you who chose to abandon me, wasn’t


    it?”

    Upon hearing that, Sterio let out a coldugh but chose not to argue further.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan’s gaze fell upon Seboxia.


    “Hey, Seboxia, didn’t we agree? We’ll sound out his true intentions before I show up to wrap things up.


    You’ve exposed yourself now, making things difficult for me.”


    Seboxia, on the other hand, was unfazed. “We can’t sound anything out. His current appearance is just


    a transfiguration in this arcane array. Even I pose no threat to his existence.”


    That was the first time Jonathan heard Seboxia admit that he was at his wit’s end.


    Looking at Neil, Jonathan wore a face full of curiosity. “I really want to know, what exactly are you


    nning? What is it about Sterio and me that you are interested in?”


    As Jonathan spoke, he lightly leaped up, picked up a seal, and then handed it over to Neil. “We’ve


    been given a chance to survive. Isn’t it time you revealed your true intentions?”


    Neil took Jonathan’s seal in his hand and immediately turned to Sterio with a heartyugh.


    “I’m not killing you because someone is interested in you. That person’s family name is Whitley.”
