The man covered in scars gave Johnnie a cold glance, then said, "Ant, who gave you the right to call my na directly?"
His body suddenly tensed, and thick black shadows burst out of his pores, quickly forming a group of figures around him.
These figures were all different. So looked like humans, others like monsters. But they all had one thing in common — they each held a different weapon in their hands, and their bodies radiated a strong fighting spirit.
When Clens waved his hand, the figures imdiately knelt at his feet.
Clens looked down at Johnnie with disdain and said, "Hand over that warrior’s head, and you can leave."
Johnnie felt confused. What was so special about Skye’s head?
Who was this Clens anyway?
Just as Johnnie was thinking, the Map of Heaven and Earth suddenly shook. Then, Skye — holding a huge axe in one hand and a broken shield in the other — appeared beside Johnnie.
"Johnnie, this guy is Clens from the Star Raider Envious Royal Clan!" Skye said, his face serious.
He quickly stepped in front of Johnnie.
"The Envious Royal Clan?" Johnnie thought of the other Star Raider royal family he had t before in the Dark Hollow Cave — Weston from the Gluttonous Royal Clan.
It was clear that the Envious Royal Clan was similar to the Gluttonous Royal Clan. They were one of the top races among the Star Raiders.
But why did this Clens want Skye’s head so badly?
At the mont he saw the complete Skye appear, Clens’ cold expression suddenly changed — it turned into excitent.
His mouth stretched into a grin, and he stared intensely at Skye, saying:
"You’re back to life! Hahaha, great! Now I have another nice collection!"
"Your fighting spirit, your power — they all belong to now!"
The black figures around Clens instantly vanished into his body. Then, his whole body radiated an overwhelming power, far beyond that of a Highgod.
"Highgod peak, almost a Divine King." Skye said, his voice full of seriousness.
Johnnie hadn’t expected that this suddenly appearing Clens had such power. A Star Raider at the Highgod peak level was almost as strong as a Divine King from the Universe Continent.
And this Clens was from a royal family of the Star Raiders — aning he was even stronger!
At the sa ti, Johnnie felt even more confused. What did Clens an by saying that Skye’s fighting spirit and power would belong to him?
He turned his eyes to Skye. Skye took a deep breath and explained.
"My head contains a mory. The Hlai people and the Envious Royal Clan of the Star Raiders made a deal. They helped this guy nad Clens steal my fighting spirit, in exchange for more power."
"The Envious Royal Clan are a group of dirty thieves. They don’t have a fixed form. They are a flowing, sticky shadow, and their surface constantly shows images of what they envy."
Johnnie suddenly understood. It must have been the Terra Lady who noticed the fighting spirit in Skye’s head was disappearing, and that was why she had sealed it to protect Skye’s head.
The Hlai people tried everything to break the seal, just to keep working with Clens.
It seed that the fighting spirit inside Skye’s head was very important to Clens.
Of course, Clens could also hear Skye’s words. His eyes turned cold, and he sneered.
"Theives? You’re such a foolish guy. Strong power and unyielding fighting spirit — you don’t even deserve to have them. They’re only being kept by you for now."
"This body is from a world’s strongest warrior. It’s also my most favorite treasure."
"Your strength isn’t that great, but your fighting spirit is enough for to collect. Now, it’s ti for to take back everything that belongs to !"
As he finished speaking, Clens suddenly disappeared.
Johnnie’s eyes widened instantly. Without hesitation, he used his Immortal Art — Vajra Indestructibility.
At the mont his body turned golden, Clens appeared right in front of him and Skye.
No fancy skills. The five-ter-tall Clens just threw a punch. The space around him rippled like water.
"Boom!" In an instant, the full power of the punch exploded, hitting Johnnie and Skye directly.
Even with his Vajra Indestructibility, Johnnie’s body couldn’t fully hold up. His bones cracked one by one, and blood dripped from his skin pores.
Johnnie clenched his teeth, refusing to move back even an inch.
"Gifted Sword!"
"Soul Attack!"
A sky full of flying swords rushed toward Clens, while the invisible Sword of Souls locked onto him in an instant.
Clens looked slightly surprised. He tried to dodge, but Skye didn’t hesitate — he swung his huge axe and brought it down hard on Clens’ neck.
"Die!" Skye roared, his fighting spirit burning fiercely.
Even after his head was cut off, he never gave up.
The flying swords rained down, and the invisible Sword of Souls entered Clens’ body.
But in the next mont, black smoke poured out from Clens’ body. The warriors that had disappeared before reappeared again.
Johnnie’s flying swords were blocked by these figures, but the Sword of Souls hit Clens, making his body shake violently.
"Ant! You’ve angered !" Clens’ neck was hit by Skye’s huge axe, but it only bent slightly.
He slowly lifted the axe from his neck, his eyes filled with rage as he stared at Johnnie, who had just used the Soul Attack.
Johnnie imdiately felt bad. Without hesitation, he decided to use all of his soul power and cast the Immortal Art — Water-Curtain Celestial Blossom!
[Water-Curtain Celestial Blossom (Immortal Art): Level 1; Creates a huge water screen that can block 10 million tis the soul power damage (including real damage); consus 100% of soul power.]
In an instant, a massive water screen ford and covered Johnnie and Skye.
Clens let out a furious roar, spreading his hands. A fake axe and shield appeared in his hands.
Skye’s face turned pale. He instinctively shouted, "He stole my power!"
Johnnie had no ti to say anything. At that mont, Clens, holding the fake axe and shield, attacked the water screen fiercely.
The water screen kept shaking, as if it would break at any mont.
Johnnie took a deep breath. Facing such a strong enemy, most of his attack thods didn’t work.
Clens was way stronger than the previous Six-Ard DemonBorg. Even the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning couldn’t hurt him much.
Rembering how Clens had made the Hlai people take the damage before, Johnnie’s eyes turned sharp. He focused on the remaining Hlai people around him.
Without hesitation, he controlled the Evil-Slaying Thunder Sword, Void Sword, and Seven Sword to attack the Hlai people who were still standing.
"Keep him busy!" Johnnie shouted to Skye.
Skye didn’t hesitate. As the water screen broke, he rushed out imdiately, holding a huge axe in one hand and a big shield in the other. His eyes showed no fear — only endless fighting spirit.
He had never surrendered before, and he never would.
"Hahaha, you’re really the warrior I chose. Taking back this fighting spirit that belongs to , I’m sure I’ll get much stronger!" Seeing this, Clens’ anger quickly disappeared, replaced by excitent.
The way the Envious Royal Clan strengthens itself is completely different from other races. They don’t need to train hard. Instead, they just need to set their eyes on soone they envy. By observing, copying, taking, or destroying that person, they can gain their power.
To Clens, Skye’s strength wasn’t worth envy. But Skye’s unyielding fighting spirit — the way he always fought back no matter what — made him want to take it.
"Co on, give back everything you have!" The black figures around Clens suddenly disappeared, turning into a thick black mist that surrounded Skye.
In the dark fog, Skye saw Clens take his shape, smiling at him in a strange way.
Skye took a deep breath. His enemy was strong, but he wasn’t fighting alone.
Johnnie was still outside the fog. Skye believed in Johnnie!
Without hesitation, Skye swung his axe and shield, fighting fiercely with Clens.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
The sound of battle kept going. Skye was quickly crushed by Clens. His shield was already broken, and now it could no longer be used.
But even so, Skye didn’t back down at all.
Outside the fog, Johnnie was killing the Hlai people one by one.
Earlier, in the Haldrem Empire, after killing the remaining Six-Ard Demon, Johnnie’s Thunder Cultivation — Destroying the Evil — had reached 55% progress.
To beat Clens, he had to use the power of Thunder Cultivation — Destroying the Evil.
But Johnnie wasn’t sure if 55% was enough to kill such a strong enemy.
He had to make sure nothing went wrong, which was why he killed all the Hlai people who could take damage for him right away.
The last Hlai person was dead. Johnnie took a deep breath and turned to look at the black fog where Skye and Clens were fighting.
The Seven Royal Clans of the Star Raiders — Johnnie had only t the Gluttonous Royal Clan and the Envious Royal Clan so far. And every one of them had strange and dangerous powers.
These enemies had to be dealt with quickly, or they would only get worse in the future.
In an instant, Johnnie used Thunder Cultivation — Destroying the Evil!
