Life After Prison

Lejeune and the first four peak masters collectively threw their support behind Karl because he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse who once reached the attainment of royal paragon.

That experience gained from his past life allowed him to swiftly master the power of heaven and earth.

Karl’s situation was thus different from Severin-hence Lejeune’s belief that Severin might need to reach level two paragon before those methods could be mastered.

Those factors resulted in their decision to support Karl.

However, Severin seemed to have gained the ability to wield the power of heaven and earth despite a recent breakthrough to paragon. Furthermore, his Chaotic Swordshadow, seemed to be mighty powerful too. Even a level two paragon might be fatally killed upon contact with it, while a level three paragon would suffer severe injury from a mere brush.

Lejeune and his group were surprised precisely because of those reasons.

While everyone was in shock, Severin unleashed his Chaotic Swordshadow, which swiftly cut through the void and struck the God-Killing Spear. The explosion that everyone expected to see did not occur. Rather, the God-Killing Spear was sliced in half by the Chaotic Swordshadow just like a hot knife to butter.

Karl’s pupils contracted when he saw the destruction of his spiritual treasure. A trace of panic finally appeared on his calm face as he exclaimed, “That can’t be possible!” His astonishment was clear for all to see, for his superior-quality spiritual treasure had been destroyed with minimum effort.

Before he could consider his next move, the Chaotic Swordshadow swiftly cut through the air and headed toward him. Karl felt an impending sense of destruction when he snapped out of his senses.

He quickly raised his hand, sacrificing several spiritual treasures and activating them to form a defensive barrier around his body.

Seven or so mediocre -quality spiritual treasures surrounded Karl and emitted an endless divine glow. A blue green ruler glowed brightly, illuminating the sky and bringing the surrounding elements to calm. A scroll depicting mountains and rivers unfolded, releasing bursts of black wind. A golden fan produced golden flames, burning a hole in the void.

Karl’s defensiveness drew out a sneer from Severin. “You’re overestimating your abilities if you think you can stop the unstoppable!”

As soon as Severin finished speaking, he soared into the sky as his swordwill began to swirl around his body. He imbued his chaotic swordwill into the Chaotic Shadowsword, causing the power to surge exponentially. It reduced everything in its path to dust until it finally struck the spiritual treasures surrounding Karl.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A loud piercing sound was heard as the swordshadow cut through the spiritual treasures with ease. There was still much power remaining in Severin’s attack, and the remaining swordshadow landed on Karl’s body, shattering the protective shield in front of him with relative ease.

Karl’s physical body, soul, attainment base, and lifespan had suffered the brunt of the attack! His beast-like bronze skin cracked and bled under the swordshadow, with the attack threatening to tear him apart. His attainment dropped from perfect-stage level one paragon to late-stage, then middle-stage, and ultimately, early -stage.

Tens of thousands of years in his lifespan had been reduced, and strands of gray hair suddenly appeared amidst his shining black hair. His soul was injured, and he felt a splitting headache as the formidable swordwill corroding his soul through his mind.

This blow hit Karl’s body hard and severing his divine body, shattering his saintly attainment, and cutting off his ten thousand years of life. Karl’s appearance then aged about ten years in an instant. In defending himself against the Chaos Swordshadow, Karl was sent hurtling backward as he vomited blood from his mouth.

The arena’s defensive formation was shattered by the impact, and he fell straight down. Affected in body, soul, attainment, and lifespan, Karl’s vision went dark after landing on the ground with a thud.
