The space barrier is almost the most powerful among all barrier-type magics, capable of directly severing space to block all enemy attacks, as well as preventing anyone from leaving.
At this mont, the only way to leave was to be able to cast space teleportation magic. But most of these people were magic researchers; how many of them were truly formidable mages? It was absolutely impossible to perform space teleportation magic in such a short ti! Just then, one person took out a scroll from his personal space—a teleportation scroll ant to save his life, which he had extorted from an emperor when he first entered the surface world. He had never told anyone about it, thinking to keep it as his lifesaving tool. Now, it proved how wise his decision had been.
But the mont he took out the scroll, a mage behind him launched a Thunderstrike at him, paralyzing his whole body. He could only watch helplessly as his scroll was snatched away! And the person who took his scroll was actually his friend!
"It’s actually a teleportation scroll! Hahaha! I’m getting out of here first! You bunch of fools!"
As he said this, the man started to open the scroll, but when it was halfway open, a puff of smoke sprayed out from inside. The mont he slled the smoke, he felt dizzy and his consciousness began to scatter. He fell to the ground, and the scroll dropped beside him.
"I knew there would be a struggle for it, but I never expected it would be you! My most trusted friend!" As the paralysis slightly subsided, he started to struggle toward the scroll. He hadn’t gone far when his legs started to twitch, and he fell to the ground. Yet, his will to survive wouldn’t let him stop; he continued to crawl forward.
The person whose consciousness was dissipating also forced himself to crawl towards the scroll. Even though he was closer to the scroll, because he couldn’t exert any strength, he was crawling even slower!
In the end, both hands grabbed the scroll at the sa ti, and both tried desperately to pull it toward themselves. The originally intact scroll was torn in half!
"Damn it! You bastard! I trusted you so much, I even showed you my most perfect research results, and this is how you repay !" the person who had made a move for the scroll roared.
"To stealthily attack a friend who trusts you, and then shalessly spout nonsense here—how can there be such an idiot as you in this world?" The person who was gradually recovering from the paralysis ca to his forr friend’s side, stepped heavily on his arm, and forced him to let go of the scroll. But even so, the now-damaged scroll had already lost its intended function. And at that mont, the red light enveloping Hayden had already started to cover him.
"Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore."
The red light exploded in a roar, engulfing both of them.
It was then that everyone realized that neither begging for rcy nor escaping was possible anymore. Suddenly, one person shouted, "We can’t leave! Let’s fight him with all we’ve got!"
Fight with all we’ve got!
Driven by the instinct to survive, everyone was filled with fighting spirit in an instant. They gathered together, causing a mana resonance, and activated all the magics they could think of, bombarding Hayden with all their might.
However, this mighty assault only managed to delay things slightly.
Not a single magic caused any harm to Hayden, no shield could withstand the pounding of the red light, and no one was able to delay their death.
Nothing changed.
Under the envelopnt of the red light, absolutely no one in the entire restaurant was spared, and certainly, no one could escape. It didn’t take long before there were no more living beings in the restaurant.
Long Yi lifted the space barrier, floating in mid-air as he left the restaurant, where many people had already gathered outside.
"Those who covet my power, small fry!" Long Yi bellowed, and began to attack the onlookers indiscriminately. Those who were originally just curious about what had happened here imdiately faced a catastrophe!
This incident was almost imdiately reported to Elma. In fact, Elma had always ordered so people to secretly monitor Hayden; on one hand, he didn’t know what kind of background that so-called ancestor of Hayden really had. On the other hand, he was also worried that soone would provoke him and cause unnecessary trouble.
But he never imagined that in just a blink of an eye, such a large group of people could create such a huge ss.
When Elma arrived at the scene, Hayden really had already carved a bloody path out.
And at that mont, the red light had already enveloped Elma!
"Please don’t attack! I co with goodwill!" Elma shouted loudly, taking a gamble that this powerful consciousness should rember him.
"Is it you?" Hayden really stopped the attack, slowly floating closer to Elma, looking down at him from above.
"Yes, I am Elma, the master of this place. I am very sorry for what just happened. I promise you that such an incident will never happen again. So, may I ask you to extinguish your anger?" Elma tried his best to lower his stance.
"This child’s mory tells you are a trustworthy person, so I accept your request," Long Yi said, feeling very majestic.
"Thank you for your magnanimity." Elma had no heart at the mont, but since becoming one of the Crazy Demons, he had seldom been so nervous.
"All those who coveted my power have been given fair punishnt, yet this feeble body is not enough to sustain my presence, thus I must continue to slumber," Long Yi said.
"May I ask you to wait a mont? I have many questions to consult you about... Of course, they are just questions, no need to waste your power, nor will it take too much of your ti," Elma tentatively asked.
Long Yi furrowed his brow, "I can sense you are pushing your luck, mortal."
Elma kept his smile, saying, "It is not pushing luck, great powerhouse, for we are the weak, and while we maintain our reverence for the strong, we also harbor a bit of curious fascination."
Long Yi fell silent for a while, then spoke, "I just inquired with this child, and he told you are a trustworthy elder, and he has asked to assist you, so be it, I can waste so of my precious ti on you."
Elma felt speechless. What does he an by wasting so precious ti on ? How he put it! Of course, speechless was all he was; he dared not show it. The power this powerhouse showed was overwhelmingly strong, sothing that ordinary people could not achieve. He wanted to understand what was actually happening.
Long Yi followed Elma to an elegant reception room at the top of the Ancient Mage Tower, where one could see the cosmic stars.
"Please, have a seat," Elma said.
Long Yi retracted his mana, no longer levitating, and the mana stopped radiating from his eyes, with only the gem on his forehead still shining brightly.
"I need so liquids and food," Long Yi said.
Elma imdiately gestured to Zulal, who quickly gave orders, and soon exquisite beverages and pastries were served before Long Yi.
Long Yi picked up a pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and then savored it carefully. After a long while, he let out a breath, his face nostalgic, "I can’t even rember the last ti I ate sothing myself."
Elma nodded; he had turned into a Crazy Demon not too long ago. Even though he didn’t need food now, he occasionally reminisced about that sensation.
"Can you tell about your matters?" Elma asked.
"I... am an Ascender, an existence even Giants do not permit!" Long Yi fabricated an incomparable background story for himself.
The story went sowhat like this.
Long ago, Giants began to create life and aid it. Then they saw a life form that seed to display extraordinary talent, so they continually did their utmost to assist him. One day, that life form suddenly erupted with a might so powerful, it nearly killed all life on the planet.
He proclaid himself an Ascender, aning he was a great existence far surpassing ordinary people.
This revelation surprised the Giants, who also decided it shouldn’t be left unchecked, so a Giant completely sealed the Ascender’s power. By that ti, though, the Ascender had already passed all his knowledge to his people, and they had scattered to various planes. Subsequently, Ascenders were born one after another, dominating vast regions. Feeling duped, the Giants grew furious. They captured all the Ascenders and utterly destroyed their power. Yet one person managed to avoid this fate through a special thod.
"I stole a shard of the Cosmic Stone," Long Yi said with a mysterious smile. "A Cosmic Stone shard can beco everything and contain everything. I hid here with all my knowledge, but unfortunately, I could only retain a small part of my trendous power. Even so, I am still the most powerful being in this Plane!"
Long Yi did not craft this story to be too perfect; it was even lacking in detail, but Elma chose to believe him, because it sounded all the more genuine.
"So, how did you co to be here?" Elma continued to inquire.
"I have been in slumber all along, keeping myself hidden for fear of being discovered by the Giants. Not long ago, I was awakened by an imnse force. I spent days after waking trying to sense the presence of Giants. When I realized they were no longer in this Plane, I knew my opportunity had co. I have retained all my mories and consciousness in the Cosmic Stone, but I still need a real body to unleash my power. And my direct descendant will be able to wield my power unimpeded. In this long search, I have inhabited the bodies of so, using their power to help find my descendant. I turned them into unparalleled powerhouses, but I never found one. So later, I abandoned them and began to search alone throughout the Plane. Finally, I found him—Hayden!"
Long Yi’s ability to concoct stories was quite strong, and he was attempting to steer the conversation in a particular direction. And evidently, Elma picked up on a certain detail in it.
"Are you saying that you have helped so people beco powerhouses?"
Elma inquired.
"Yes, that’s easy," Long Yi said.
"May I know their nas?" Elma asked.
"Certainly, they were Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, and Long Yi," Long Yi said. (To be continued.
