Chapter 411: Chapter411-Forcing the Gate, Holy Spirit Manifestation
"Just name your price."
Considering that the information he had provided was indeed detailed, Daniel could not be bothered to argue with him.
The guide said, "2,000 units of Origin Crystal!"
"Most of what I told you earlier is already out in the open. Even if Lord Shar were to discover it through causal arts, he might not necessarily trace it back to me."
"But what I’m about to reveal next concerns his true foundation. Speaking of such matters comes with no small amount of risk!"
"Take it."
Daniel casually tossed over 2,000 units of Origin Crystal.
"Don’t worry. He won’t come after you."
The guide’s heart tightened.
Holy shit!
This man was probably planning to go hard against Lord Shar!
As for whether he could actually defeat Shar... what did that have to do with him?
Taking money to ease another man’s worries—that was the true duty of a guide.
As for the so-called risk he had mentioned earlier, it was merely an excuse to raise the price. In truth, guides like him had been jointly arranged by the various powers behind the sacred grounds.
Their purpose was to make another round of profit after people entered. In other words, they did not care at all whether they offended an Oracle-grade expert.
Thus, after pretending to hesitate for three seconds, he finally spoke.
"Lord Shar has just stepped into the second stage of Oracle-grade. He has mastered the Laws of Destruction, Strength, and Extreme Speed, and all three have already been raised to the ultimate tier."
"He excels in close-quarters combat. Most of his Sacred Arts are also designed for hand-to-hand slaughter. He carries several Primordial-grade defensive treasures, as well as one Primordial-grade offensive treasure..."
"In addition, within this sanctum, he is attended by several peak Divine-grade experts and two Divine Radiant experts..."
The guide revealed all the information in one breath.
"My lord, that is all I know."
Daniel nodded slightly.
It was enough.
The information was quite detailed. This payment of Origin Crystal could not be considered a loss.
"Tell me the location of his sanctum."
...
The inner space of the sacred grounds was as vast as a minor world.
Thousands of independent sanctums were scattered within.
The lower-grade sanctums on the outer edges had time flows of only several times or several hundred times the normal rate.
The deeper one went, the higher the grade of the sanctums became. At the very core stood the top-tier sanctums with ten-thousandfold time flow.
At this moment, Daniel had already arrived in the depths.
He hovered in midair, gazing at the sanctum ahead.
The entire sanctum was wrapped tightly in arrays and restrictions. The moment any living being intruded, the master inside would immediately sense the disturbance.
Daniel was not in a hurry to act, lest he alert the enemy too soon.
With that thought, his mind stirred.
Swish, swish, swish...
Ninety-nine clones appeared silently around Daniel.
At the same time, he took out the Banner of Destiny’s Judgment.
He split it into nine sub-banners. Each sub-banner was held by nine clones, for a total of ninety clones.
The remaining nine clones guarded Daniel at the center, ready to respond to any sudden change.
Nine blood-colored banners hovered above his head like nine hawks with their wings folded, waiting to take flight.
The Voidbound Grail and the Basin of Greed also emerged, quietly circling around him like two silent guardians.
Swish!
A pitch-black, olive-shaped object appeared in Daniel’s palm.
This was a one-time-use item he had just exchanged from Ivahpin World. Its function was similar to the Thunder God Orb, but its power was far greater.
A single one of these could unleash the full-force strike of a third-stage Oracle-grade expert. Although it was not very useful in direct combat, it was perfect for breaking arrays.
Just this one item had cost him more than two billion points. Daniel’s lavish spending was evident at a glance.
"Go."
He waved his hand.
The pitch-black object drifted leisurely into the array restrictions.
Whoosh!
The sanctum’s arrays and restrictions were instantly activated.
Countless killing arrays suddenly awakened, rearing their heads like a nest of serpents. Innumerable lethal attacks poured down like a torrential storm, rushing toward the treasure.
"Detonate."
Daniel’s mind moved.
Boom!
The Oracle-grade treasure exploded violently.
A raging tide of Strength erupted, tearing apart the sanctum’s layers upon layers of restrictions in an instant. In the end, only an empty gate remained exposed in the air.
Daniel nodded in satisfaction.
These points had not been spent in vain.
If he had done it himself, those countless killing arrays and restrictions alone would have given him a serious headache. He would inevitably have had to spend a great deal of effort and time.
He could not be bothered with that trouble.
He would rather spend points to open the way.
"Fuck!"
"Who dares disturb me?!"
At that moment, an enraged roar erupted from the depths of the sanctum.
Before the voice had even faded, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate.
Shar’s face was terrifyingly livid.
He had been at the critical juncture of his breakthrough, devoting himself fully to comprehension. He had been only one step away, yet someone had suddenly interrupted him.
It was like a starving man finally sitting down before a table full of delicacies, only to have the entire table flipped over the moment he raised his knife and fork.
How could he possibly swallow such rage?
His gaze swiftly swept over the intruders outside. After sensing Daniel’s grade, a savage smile appeared at the corner of his mouth instead.
"A Divine Sovereign? Am I seeing this correctly?"
"A mere ant dares disturb me?"
"State your name. I have no interest in crushing an ant without knowing who it is..."
Shar’s eyes remained cautious.
For a Divine Sovereign to provoke him like this was far too bizarre.
He was somewhat worried that this kid might be the inheritor of some superpower.
Otherwise, what Divine Sovereign would lose his mind and come challenge an Oracle-grade expert?
Boom!
His aura erupted violently.
The immense pressure of an Oracle-grade expert surged over like a massive wave, slightly warping the surrounding void.
Daniel snorted coldly and spoke in an indifferent voice.
"Before you die, remember my name—Faustus."
Before his words had even fallen, the law ripples of the Voidbound Grail spread out soundlessly, layer after layer.
The flow and extension of space-time throughout the entire area froze still.
Light swirled within the mouth of the Basin of Greed, making it look like a beast waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
At the same time, all ninety-nine clones poured Strength into the sub-banners. A steady stream of energy was devoured frantically by the battle banners.
Buzz!
At that moment, a deep tremor rang out from the sky.
The curtain of space twisted and distorted as if it were being torn apart.
A figure exuding an ancient and boundless aura flickered in and out of sight within the void, as though it had shattered the endless ages and descended here from the distant past.
It was the projection of an Ancient Holy Spirit!
He stood more than thirty thousand meters tall, his shoulders as broad as mountains. In his hand, he held a short axe, and the blade seemed to still carry the lingering embers of an ancient battlefield.
His eyes looked down upon Shar below, filled with nothing but cold, indifferent killing intent.
Swish!
The Holy Spirit Manifestation charged fiercely toward Shar.
Although Shar was a second-stage Oracle-grade expert, under Daniel’s activation, the Holy Spirit Manifestation could already unleash the strength of a peak first-stage Oracle-grade expert. Against Shar, it would not collapse in a single blow.
"Damn bastard! He’s actually serious?"
Shar roared, and a long saber appeared in his hand.
No matter how hard he thought, he could not understand what was going on with this Divine Sovereign before him.
Was this man truly insane?
He was an Oracle-grade expert!
