Chapter 2978
Nautica had to be on guard against Scarlet Summit due to the latter’s unique nature. Unlike other immortals, those from Scarlet Summit operated within an independent system tied to secular factions. At the helm of Scarlet Summit was the Empyrean who, according to legend, descended from the faction's founding deity. Consequently, their lineage was meticulously controlled by successive Empyreans, and only they were permitted to practice the faction’s highest-level techniques.At night, Nautica Hall, situated at the heart of Nautica’s base, was ablaze with light and bustling with activity. A group of about twenty or thirty Nautica apprentices, accompanied by elders, had gathered to show their support.Among them were outer and inner apprentices, all sharing a close bond with Cameron. They dispersed across the skies above, forming a tight net that blanketed the entire base. This arrangement ensured immediate observation in the event of any disturbances within Nautica.Lamar's demeanor t

The inhabitants of Scarlet Summit had inhabited their small island for generations. Throughout ancient times, they remained secluded from the rest of the world. Few outsiders ventured to their shores, necessitating their self-reliance in all matters. Consequently, they lived in relative poverty and isolation. Over time, they developed a sense of entitlement, harboring ambitions of world domination.Once a considerable distance from Nautica, Zachary soared into the sky. However, before he could fly far, a sudden exclamation of “ouch” escaped him, and he plummeted back to the ground. Emerging from a nearby river after his unexpected fall, he was on the verge of cursing when he noticed two figures standing before him.Before Zachary stood a burly man and a young-looking woman, both clad in ominous black robes that emitted a palpable aura of malevolence, sending shivers down Zachary's spine. Trembling, he inquired, "Who are you?"The man's voice resonated eerily, as though emanating fro

Suddenly, Adrian's eyes sparkled as his attention was drawn to two figures on the street. One was a burly man, and the other was a graceful woman. While they didn't possess striking features, an undeniable aura emanated from them, causing those nearby to instinctively shy away. Although this aura wasn't perceptible to ordinary individuals, its effect was unmistakable. Wherever these two ventured, the surrounding pedestrians retreated like receding waves, casting fearful glances as if they were in the presence of incarnate demons.These two individuals were none other than Celeste and Umbrex. At this moment, they appeared no different from regular people, devoid of the eerie black aura that once enveloped them. Despite most of their malevolent energy dissipating, remnants of it lingered, still palpable to those sensitive enough to discern it.Adrian, taken aback, gazed at them in astonishment."What's going on with those two?" Lamar inquired, equally perplexed.Adrian shook his head

The Abyssal Blaze Sword ultimately was an artifact of just a minor faction, hence, Celeste and Umbrex set their sights on the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal. Coincidentally, Nautica’s sacrificial ceremony was just around the corner, providing them with the perfect opportunity to seize the seal amid the ensuing chaos.Lost in their scheming, Celeste and Umbrex continued along the streets. Suddenly, they detected surges of power fluctuations in the distance. These fluctuations resembled spiritual serpents slithering through the grass, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, leaving them perplexed. Nevertheless, it was evident that these power fluctuations were slowly drawing nearer to them. They realized they were being targeted by someone, who was launching a clandestine attack.Celeste, a formidable powerhouse, swiftly became vigilant. This was a bustling street, not a secluded mountain forest. She wondered if the caster was not afraid of alerting the populace.Celeste wasted no time,

As Celeste and Umbrex pressed forward, they encountered a peculiarly attired group approaching them. Leading the procession was a diminutive, hunched old man, yet he exuded formidable power and commanded respect and awe. With each step, his cane emitted a distinct clack against the ground. Trailing behind him were two rows of male and female priests, bearing ceremonial instruments that faintly hinted at a larger ritual formation.The appearance of the group caused pedestrians to instinctively retreat, creating a path for their passage. Even Celeste and Umbrex couldn't help but furrow their brows and make way. As the procession passed by, the leader's gaze swept over them like lightning, as if attempting to read their minds.In that fleeting moment, it felt as though an eternity had passed. It was only once the procession had completely vanished from view that Celeste and Umbrex snapped back to reality. The penetrating gaze of the old man felt like a distant reverie.“That group is f

"Josiah, how many factions are entangled in this affair?" a dignified voice resonated.Within a chamber, the old man who had crossed paths with Celeste and Umbrex sat in a chair. Before him, a flickering light projected the image of a regal figure—the Empyrean of Scarlet Summit."Empyrean, to my knowledge, there are at least five factions involved," Josiah, the old man, respectfully responded, "Aside from us, there are factions from the immortal realm, other factions, and those responsible for tampering with our faction's artifact."The Empyrean was taken aback. "Oh? Have you identified the perpetrators behind the tampering?"Josiah responded gravely, "Yes, I encountered two individuals on the street whom I had long suspected. They appeared suspicious to me, and upon brushing past them, I detected a faint aura resonating with our faction's artifacts. I dare say it's highly probable that they’re the culprits."Since detecting the tampering of the Abyssal Blaze Sword, Josiah had dil

Outside the gate, Dakota addressed the group, "Esteemed guests, this is the chamber where the Dragonslayer Emerald Seal is safeguarded. Typically, outsiders are not permitted entry here. However, today I will grant you a glimpse."As he spoke, five guards approached, each extracting a substantial iron piece from their persons. Collectively, they assembled these pieces into a key, which they then inserted into the formidable lock. With a decisive turn, the door swung open. The layers of security measures were flawlessly executed.Stepping through the threshold, Adrian and his companions beheld a grand hall even more resplendent than Nautica Hall. Towering statues of deities adorned each corner, emanating a commanding presence that shrouded their identities in mystery.In the center of the hall loomed an even larger statue. The moment Adrian set foot inside, this statue captured his attention, for he sensed an uncanny vitality emanating from it. The statue seemed almost life-like, a s

Josiah quickly bowed. "I am Josiah, an elder of Scarlet Summit. Greetings to the lord of Nautica."Seeing Josiah's respectful demeanor, Dakota appeared pleased. "There's no need for such formalities between us. Please, rise." With a genial smile, Dakota proceeded to introduce Adrian and the rest to Josiah, and Josiah reciprocated the gesture with a smile of his own.However, Adrian couldn't shake off a sense of unease. There was something about Josiah's aura that felt akin to a predatory wolf biding its time for the perfect moment to strike. Beneath the facade of innocence lay a more sinister intent.Amid the group behind Josiah, Adrian noted the presence of several formidable individuals. Their auras were expertly concealed, reminiscent of the assailants who had attempted to ambush Celeste and Umbrex. It was evident that the immortals of Scarlet Summit possessed unique techniques, signaling that they were not to be underestimated.As Dakota engaged Josiah in conversation, Adrian a
