Chapter 118: Assassination!

"Mm, soon." Batal nodded.

"Within this half month, a month at most."

"Once it starts, it will likely be another extremely brutal battle." Zul sighed softly.

"Naturally, it's a life-and-death struggle; if you don't fight, you die. Compared to the evil god's forces, the Southern Church's power is not to be underestimated, and they will commit more manpower to this battle."

"Of course." Zul Elemend nodded slightly.

"By the way, according to the agreement, we should have entered three months ago. Why was it delayed so long?" Batal looked at Zul and asked.

"At that time, a top genius from our Transcendent Association entered first."

"We deduced that the energy was insufficient, and if you came in, you would have to wait here idly for a long time, so we delayed your entry."

"Three months ago? A genius from your Transcendent Association?"

"It must be that super spellcaster Gune Lawrence disguised as 'Captain Jack'!" Batal laughed.

"Mm!" Since the other had guessed it, Zul didn't hide this point.

After all, this Batal had cooperated with their Transcendent Association for a long time, even having several cooperative experiences.

Moreover, his permission level within the Transcendent Association was not low.

Batal had participated in the siege of the Human-Faced Flower Church a few months ago.

And throughout the entire process, no information was leaked.

Clearly, this Batal was relatively reliable.

"The birth of a super spellcaster is very rare and uncommon." Batal sighed softly.

"And I heard that Gune's transcendent profession is only a four-star Blood Curse Master."

"For the birth of a super spellcaster, the Starry Sequence's spellcasting professions are the most likely to produce such super spellcasters."

"At worst, it's a top-tier seven-star spellcasting profession."

"But for a four-star Blood Curse Master to become a super spellcaster is simply unbelievable."

"You know, the Blood Curse Master is not a profession偏向于 spellcasting system; it's more偏向于 combat physique and the eerie blood curse system."

"For such a Blood Curse Master, which is neither here nor there, this genius named Gune Lawrence could still cultivate into a super spellcaster."

"I really wonder how terrifying this guy's talent is."

"A four-star Blood Curse Master is not a weak transcendent profession. If one can suppress the curse from the depths of blood, it's equivalent to six-star." Zul said.

"Even if it's six-star, it's not a six-star偏向于 spellcaster." Batal shook his head.

"If he had a Starry Sequence 'Blood Source Curse Master' or 'Blood Demon Curse Master', this guy named Gune Lawrence would soar."

"Hmm! Can ordinary transcendent professions really advance to higher Starry Sequences?" Zul's brow twitched.

"Of course, but the difficulty is extremely high, and the chance is slim. If you don't succeed in one go, there's basically no second chance. I'm not clear on the specifics. If this Gune Lawrence ever gets the chance to enter the high-dimensional transcendent world, he might be able to seek it out himself."

"The high-dimensional transcendent world is so far away; it's not easy to enter!"

"Indeed!" Batal nodded slightly.

Then Batal turned to look at the two transcendent beings behind him, a man and a woman in their early twenties.

"You see, that Gune, with only a four-star transcendent profession, could become a fourth-order super spellcaster."

"Moreover, from the news coming out of the Dragon Slayer's mouth, you should know."

"Inside the Dragon Tomb, one-on-one, that Gune could single-handedly kill a top seven-star sixth-order transcendent, and even easily kill a fifth-order Starry Sequence expert."

"His methods and strength are very formidable."

"You are strong because you have powerful Starry Sequence transcendent professions. Perhaps within one transcendent world, you can be considered geniuses."

"But placed among many transcendent worlds, your talents and professions combined are not so outstanding. After all, in the endless transcendent worlds, there are plenty of talented geniuses."

"And that Gune, even placed among many transcendent worlds, even in top-tier large transcendent worlds, is a top genius."

"So, don't feel like you're the chosen ones just because you have Starry Sequence professions, thinking you're good enough."

"If you don't work hard, seven-star, six-star, or even four-star transcendent beings of the same order can still have the strength to kill you."

"Lord Batal, we will cultivate diligently."

Both said in unison.

"Mm!" Batal nodded slightly.

"It is precisely because you are willing to train hard that I have brought you this time to the sealing place of the ancient great lifeform dominator to receive the inheritance of the 'Demonization Rune'."

"Remember, such an opportunity may not even exist in large transcendent worlds."

"So be sure to seize this chance and condense the Demonization Rune as soon as possible."

"It will be of great help to you, even causing a qualitative change in your future Transcendent Master realm, and even higher realms."

"Yes, Lord Batal." The two said in unison again.

The power of the Demonization Rune had been explained to them by Lord Batal before.

And the two were naturally full of expectations for the Demonization Rune. Now that they had entered again, they would do their utmost to condense it.

A dozen minutes later.

At the end of the corridor, after some instructions.

The man and woman, both Starry Sequence transcendent beings, bid farewell to the two Transcendent Masters and walked toward the massive dominator sealing body.

They moved forward silently, entering the depths of the dense forest.

When they passed a dark thicket.

A shadow silently detached from the female transcendent's form and merged into the shadow of a nearby tree.

No one noticed the entire process.

After the two left.

This shadow silently emerged from the dark corner of the thicket.

"So, that Gune Lawrence is here?" The translucent dark shadow looked around and said softly.

"The difficulty of this mission from the Night God Ship is really high. Fortunately, they provided some clues and a way in, or I wouldn't even be able to find this Gune."

"But since I'm in, the next step is to end Gune's life."

"Super spellcaster? Interesting!"

Then, the figure merged into the shadows and disappeared.

…

Rustle…

The gentle sound of the stream flowed as always, like a pleasant melody.

In a corner of the cave stone chamber.

Gune, sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform, slowly opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Finally… fifth order."

These months of seclusion.

In the first three and a half months, with the help of the auto-hang system, Gune easily advanced from early third-order transcendent to peak fourth-order.

The entire process was smooth. Even when breaking through from third to fourth order, Gune, immersed in the comprehension of Dark Essence, didn't feel much of his own realm. It was only when he came out of his immersive comprehension that he realized he had already advanced from late third-order peak to fourth order.

And this time, advancing from peak fourth order to fifth order was a relatively large leap.

After all, fourth order is only mid-tier transcendent.

While fifth order is high-tier transcendent.

Advancing from peak fourth order to fifth order is much more difficult than from peak third order to fourth order.

It's even close to advancing from peak fifth order to sixth order.

But, after more than ten days of automatic hang-up by the system.

Gune easily broke through from peak fourth order and automatically advanced to fifth order.

"In a year and a half, from acquiring a transcendent profession to advancing to fifth order, this speed is already quite terrifying."

"Now that I've advanced to fifth order, my strength has improved considerably compared to before."

"More importantly, my demonic secondary soul also advanced to sixth order half a month ago."

"With a sixth-order demon lord in hand, ordinary sixth-order transcendent beings are probably no match for me. Only those top sixth-order transcendent beings, like Augusand and Elder Nigel, who have沉淀ed their foundations at the peak of sixth order, can contend with me."

"Hm?" Just as he was thinking, Gune suddenly sensed something.

"Didn't I put up a sign at the east entrance? I even blocked the entrance with stones. Someone still came in? And judging by this guy's sneaky manner, and the intensity of this shadow concealment state, it's definitely not something an ordinary transcendent can do. Could it be?"

Gune, rubbing his fingers slightly, felt a hint of something wrong.
