nFranklin's Dream Power was straightforward. It was a Physical Dream that enhanced his physical capabilities to a certain degree.

n

"Hahaha!

"

nHis laughter echoed as he exchanged high-speed blows with his opponents. They were exhausted, but it wasn't easy to eliminate them since they had the advantage in numbers.

nA loud explosion erupted, and all of them were forced back due to the sheer power of the blast.

nBoom!!

nFranklin looked down at his hands. His arm was broken, and his flesh was torn apart. The pain was endurable, but it quickly disappeared as the injury instantly healed.

n

"That's strong.

"

nFranklin's smile widened as he flexed his fingers. Wind swirled around his limbs, and a saber flew into his hand. It was another red-grade artifact.

nHis opponents glanced at him warily, tightening their grips on their weapons. They were prepared for another clash.

nWith a burst of speed, Franklin launched himself at the nearest figure, raising the saber in his hand. He swung with a force that created a powerful shockwave, but the figure parried his attack with twin daggers. The figure was a demi with a pair of wolf ears and a tail.

nThe others immediately pounced forward. A mage expert waved her hands, weaving magic circles in the air. Vines made of flame appeared out of thin air, attempting to snare Franklin.

n

"Come on! Give me everything!

" Franklin countered with a swing of his saber. Dominating Mad Slash!

nThe wind slashes burst forth, slicing the vines into tiny fragments and forcing the mage to step back.

nBang!!

nTwo experts took advantage of the situation, closing the distance in just a moment. They were an old man with a pair of gauntlets and a demi armed with a lance.

nFranklin blocked the old man's punch with a small shield while he let the demi damage his body. Then, flesh burst out of his body, wrapping itself around the old man. He twisted his body, smashing the old man into the demi.

nBoom!!

nFranklin stepped forward as the damage to his body quickly disappeared.

n

"Give everything to me! Hahaha!

"

nWith a swift motion, he repeatedly slashed his saber in the air, sending dozens of wind blades.

nOn the other side of the battle, Eztein was on the offensive, forcing Chan Yu and the elf expert to retreat.

nChan Yu was losing his focus in the battle. The pain he was experiencing at that moment could make anyone go insane.

nIt was slowly consuming his willpower.

nEztein had a great advantage. With a dark-grade artifact, his strength was greatly enhanced compared to before. His Dream Power, which doubled his attack, suppressed his opponents, forcing them into a defensive stance.

nEztein swiftly swung his spear repeatedly. It didn't matter if they blocked it or not, as he knew they wouldn't be able to keep fighting like this. They would collapse sooner or later.

nHuff!

nEztein took a deep breath and was about to use a powerful move when the entire space trembled.

nBoom!!

nA loud sound echoed throughout the whole universe.

n

"What?!

" Eztein momentarily paused.

nChan Yu, the elf, and the others also stopped as they felt a tremendous force tearing through the barrier that covered the fabric of space.

nWith a final boom, the barrier shattered along with the space.

nA huge rift, larger than several galaxies, was formed. Powerful energy gushed out of it, enveloping everything. Countless people from various planets immediately collapsed, unable to endure such tremendous force.

nA figure wearing a black cloak stepped out of the enormous spatial rift.

n

"The magic circle has been destroyed...

" the figure muttered.

nHis voice carried a power that shook everyone to their cores.

n

"T-The messenger is here...

" Chan Yu said with difficulty.

n

"Messenger?!

" Eztein widened his eyes.

nThe Messenger of Gluttony.

nThey were enigmatic people who could appear everywhere, possessing great power that rivaled the top experts across the continent. They mostly spread the words of their god,

nGluttony.

nAll of the Messengers of Gluttony were Seven-circle officers. The Seven-circle officers had the power of the Hero-rank.

n

"A messenger arrived in this dimension?

" Franklin narrowed his eyes.

nA messenger didn't even appear in the three theaters, yet it appeared here in the lower dimension. Franklin felt that it was connected to the magic circle he destroyed.

n

"Hmm?

" Franklin suddenly turned his head as he felt someone tug his clothes.

nEztein also looked around.

nSwoosh!!

nThe messenger turned his head toward Chan Yu and the rest.

nThe elf expert felt suffocated by the insane amount of energy.

n'T-This guy can destroy our universe easily...' she thought inwardly, her heart filled with fear.

n

"W-We made a blunder. I'm Chan Yu, the one that was tasked with this mission,

" Chan Yu said with difficulty.

nThe messenger didn't say anything. He simply kept staring at them. His face was covered in darkness, so no one could see his actual appearance. The only notable thing about him was the symbol of Deadly Sins on his back.

nAfter a while, he lifted his head and looked somewhere into space. Then, his head suddenly twisted, and blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain.

nHis body exploded, and the energy it contained spread out, pushing all the celestial bodies

naway.

nBang!!

nChan Yu and the others were shocked by what they saw.

nThe messenger suddenly exploded?

nBefore they could even regain their senses, darkness spread out not far away from the

nexplosion, and the same messenger emerged from it.

n

"Ant, there's nowhere for you to go!

"

nA powerful voice resounded throughout the void.

n...

nEztein and Franklin found themselves in a different place.

n

"You're here...

"

nThe two turned around as they heard a familiar voice. They saw Vashno looking at them.

n

"What happened? A Messenger of Gluttony arrived, and then I felt something before I

nvanished,

" Franklin asked.

n

"An expert from the Divine Sword Sect has arrived. He pulled you out of that world before he

nmade a move,

" Vashno explained.

n

"Divine Sword Sect?

" Eztein raised his eyebrows.

n

"Yeah, the Divine Sword Sect is the nearest organization in this place.

" Vashno nodded.

nThis place was just near the border of the Immortal Land. The Immortal Land was divided into two lands: the north, ruled by one power, the Holy Land Heavenly Court, and the south, ruled

nby various sects.

nThe experts in the south were quite different as they called themselves cultivators. They were powerful beings, and most of the sects were treated as large countries by people outside the

nImmortal Land.

n

"We have to surrender a few of the red-grade artifacts that we got. That's the price,

" Vashno

nsaid.

n...

nThe messenger looked intently, his gaze piercing through reality itself. He saw a man with long black hair and a long robe holding the entire universe in his hand.

n

"Ant from Deadly Sins, you shall know that you're not welcome in this land. And you, the Blackstone Immortal Sect, will fall for this. You shall pay for this transgression.

"

nChan Yu turned pale upon hearing the voice.

nThis voice was from the Sword Saint of the Divine Sword Sect, a powerful sword cultivator

nfeared on the battlefield.

nIf that's the case, then their Blackstone Immortal Sect would face the might of the Divine Sword Sect. They would stand no chance since their sect was only a two-star power with no God Realm powerhouse.

nAs for the Divine Sword Sect, there were three God Realm powerhouses: the Sect Leader, also known as the Sword God, and the two Guardian Elders, also known as the Twin Star Sword

nAnnihilation.

nAs for the Sword Saint, he was one of the geniuses with the potential to reach the God Realm.

nHe himself was already at the Tenth Rank of the Shackled Realm.

n

"Die!

"

nThe Sword Saint's voice resounded as his energy surged like a raging tide.

nDragon Devouring Sword Slash!!

nIn just a second, the entire universe collapsed, leaving nothing behind. Chan Yu, the Messenger of Gluttony, and everyone were obliterated into nothingness.

nThere was no resistance at all, as the Sword Saint greatly surpassed them in terms of

neverything.

nSwoosh!!

nThe Sword Saint appeared in the Imperium, Immortal Land. He was wearing a flowing robe

nembroidered with various exquisite designs. His long black hair cascaded down his back, glowing faintly under the sunlight.

nHe turned his head, gazing in the direction of the Blackstone Immortal Sect.

nIn just a short amount of time, he gathered everything that he could. He scanned the lower dimension for information before he killed those people.

nThe destroyed magic circle that he saw was a summoning spell. That's right, the Deadly Sins

nhad a plan to summon their people in the lower dimension and slowly build an army there. Once there was an army, they could launch an attack on the Immortal Land.

n'And it's not the only magic circle... There are summoning magic circles in different parts of

nthe continent. I have to inform the Sect Leader about this. Also, there's a chance that other groups are colluding with the Deadly Sins, just like the Blackstone Immortal Sect.'

nThe Sword Saint floated in the air with his hands on his back. He glanced down and saw

nVashno, Franklin, and Eztein.

nWith a wave of his hand, he retrieved a few red-grade artifacts from Franklin.
