Chapter 2221
Heath could not have spoken righteously on Frank’s behalf just like what Theo said, as Heath abhorred Frank. This
all merely seemed hilarious to Jackie. On top of that, he remembered that Heath was unable to stay awake after
being wounded by the masked man. How could he be in the mood to look at other things at that moment?
Although Jackie was in a battle at that time, he still paid attention to the changes around him. It seemed untrue that
Heath saw everything that happened! It was true that the others were deeply immersed in their battles, but Theo
managed to describe their battle accurately. This meant that somebody described what happened to Theo, but that
person was neither Heath nor Edric!
Jackie suddenly raised his head to look at Theo and smiled coldly. He opened his mouth and said, “I’m impressed!
How can you do this when Frank was your clan brother from the same sect…”
Theo was stunned when he heard this and the people around them were also stunned. All of them stared at Jackie
in disbelief.
Griffin said with a frown on his face. “Are you so intimidated that you’ve gone crazy? What are you talking about?”
Jackie suddenly turned around to look at Griffin. “If this happened to Senior Brother Griffin, what would you do? It
was an emergency situation, and my opponent was in the final stage of innate level. If I wasn’t thinking about
escaping, should I have stayed to die with Frank? I’m sure that you would’ve escaped faster than anybody if this
happened to you! You only asked me these questions because we’ve got bad blood. We’re clan brothers, so it
doesn’t matter if there are some issues between us, but you ignored the fact that we’re clan brothers and, instead,
joined some random outsider to blame me! You agreed to what the outsider said without looking at what happened
with your own eyes! What sort of a good person do you think you are?!”

Griffin slightly stuttered when Jackie’s questions hit, and his expression mellowed out. “I was just standing on the
side of,”
“You said that I’m a disloyal and unrighteous person, but have you thought about my situation?” interjected Jackie.
“This person is a disciple of the Muddled Origin Clan, and you agree to everything that he said. You’re helping an
outsider against me! Is this the loyalty and righteousness that you’re talking about?”
Nelson immediately followed behind Jackie and said,” Junior Brother Jackie is right! We’re all disciples of the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion, and if we are of no help, we shouldn’t have spoken before we know what’s going on. Where’s
your loyalty and righteousness as you disregarded the sect’s morality for your personal grudges?”
Jackie and Nelson’s alternating words caused Griffin To blush a crimson color as he looked at the two of them with
gritted teeth. He tried to find his tongue so that he could talk back to them.

However, Jackie did not provide the opportunity for him to do so. He suddenly turned around to look at Theo. “Do
you think that I’m dumb?! Everyone was too caught up in their own battle that no one would’ve bothered to look at
somebody else. You said that…Senior Brother Heath told you everything. However, I saw him badly wounded and
lying on the ground vomiting blood in the end. He’s still trying to recover right now, so do you think that he would be
In the mood to tell you all that?!”
Chapter 2222
Jackie paused after he finished saying this. “Another person saw the entire process!”
Theo’s expression changed, and he was about to interrupt Jackie when Jackie beat him to it. “It’s the person who
tried to kill us at that moment!” He pointed at the direction of the masked man when he finished speaking. “That
eldest senior brother from the Corpse Pavilion who has on a mask had been standing by the side and observing the
entire battle after he wounded Senior Brother Heath! He must be the one who told you about everything!”
What Jackie said was like a wake-up call to everyone present. Although Jackie was disloyal and unrighteous, he was
on the weaker side. Jackie sneered and continued, “The Corpse Pavilion was the one who wanted to kill us, and
Frank died in the hands of the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples. You’re causing us trouble instead of accusing the Corpse
Pavilion! Is this your loyalty and righteousness?”
Everyone there had a sudden realization when they heard what Jackie said. Jackie was right: The Corpse Pavilion
was the one who did the murder, and Frank died in the hands of their people. However, Theo acted as if he had
completely forgotten this and only came to question Jackie. He was obviously bullying the weak!
At this moment, everybody turned to accuse Theo, and the looks in their eyes changed when they looked at him.
Jackie sneered and added, “It doesn’t matter that you’re bullying the weak and purposely causing me trouble, but
you’re working together with the person who killed Frank! Senior Brother Heath was so badly wounded at that
moment that he was on the ground, continuously vomiting blood. How could he even have the thought to focus on
me? Right now, Senior Brother Heath is still healing, and he’s unable to even open his eyes right now. How would he
be in the mood to go to you and purposely tell you everything?!”
Theo was so angry that his hands were trembling. Still, he stubbornly insisted, “Your actions were too overboard, so
—”
“Stop lying to everybody with these made-up facts. What did I do that was so overboard? We could’ve left in peace,
but Frank was all pompous. He completely angered the opponent, and this caused the opponent to attack us. If
everyone won’t believe what I said, you can ask another person who was involved in the fight, the formal disciple of
Thousand Leaves Pavilion, Byron Reid!”

Theo blushed a crimson color as he said, “Don’t try to smooth-talk your way out of this!”
“I’m not trying to smoothly talk my way out of things; you’re the one who was in exasperation. I’m sure you’re
cooperating with the masked man because he promised you a sweet deal or two. After all, the masked man failed
to capture me, and he hated me. You don’t actually care about Frank’s fate, and you only care if you’ll receive your
promised benefits. You could’ve thrown anyone under the bus for these small boons!”
“It is true, and I can testify!” At this moment, a clear voice could be heard from behind the crowd, and a Thousand
Leaves Pavilion’s disciple in a white robe walked over to them steadily.
The person who made his way toward the scene was Byron, and he seemed to be calm at this moment. However,
waves of anger were flashing across his eyes.
He announced loudly when he arrived in front of everybody, “I can testify for Junior Brother Jackie, and everything
he says is true! On top of that, my Senior Brother Heath had been tending to his wounds since he was transferred
here. He was in no mood to tell anybody about what happened since then.”
With this witness testifying on Jackie’s behalf, the judgment of things naturally leaned toward his side. Theo, who
was arrogant before, immediately shrank as though a bowl of cold water had been poured over his head
However, he still tried to defend himself.
“Junior Brother Byron, why are you siding with Jackie? He killed my junior brother!”
Chapter 2223
Byron glanced at Theo in disdain. He loathed people who cooperated with their enemies for measly gains. He
smiled coldly and commented, “A person who stresses about getting justice for his junior brother is actually
cooperating with the true murderer who killed his junior brother. You’re a truly unjust, wicked person! How dare you
mention that I’m helping somebody else? Ask your own conscience about your actions!”
Almost everybody looked at Theo in disgust after Byron’s remark. With Byron’s testimony and Theo’s guilty
expression, everybody knew the truth.
“I thought that he was genuinely infuriated about his junior brother’s death. Turns out, he’s here to frame others
because of some benefits!”
“He dared not say anything when facing the true murderer who killed his junior brother, and he even cooperated
with that person! He’s here to frame Jackie because he thinks that it’s easy to frame somebody in the intermediate
stage of the innate level. He’s such a despicable person for framing someone!”
“I almost fell for his words just now and thought that Jackie was a vile person!”
At this moment, all the doubtful voices and contemptuous gazes landed on Theo. Theo was not as insensitive as
Jackie was, and he felt that the gazes from the crowd burned holes in his body. News about this incident would
surely travel back to his clan, and everybody would be mocking him by then. Everybody would think of him as a
despicable person.
Theo was so angry that his hands were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot, too. He suddenly raised his head
and looked over at Jackie. “B*stard! I’ll remember everything that happened here today! I won’t let you off the
hook, and there’s still a long way ahead of us. Just wait and see what I’ll do to you!
With that, Theo turned and left. After all, he would only provoke ridicule if he stayed behind. Jackie, meanwhile, felt
that Theo was ridiculous and disgusting when he saw how he escaped with his tail between his legs. However, Jackie
remembered what Theo said in the end. He believed that Theo would no doubt cause him trouble if he had the
chance, and the beef between them was unavoidable.
This, however, did not overly concern Jackie as he did not go against his principle as a person. Theo, in fact, was the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone who caused him trouble.
As the main person in this incident had escaped in embarrassment, onlookers naturally left with a lack of interest.
Once again, only the disciples of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion were left.
Griffin’s glower intensified as what he did was definitely despicable. He stood on the side of outsiders against his
clan brothers, and many people despised him for what he did. However, Griffin did not feel that he made a mistake.
He had never thought of Jackie as his clan brother.
Jackie turned around and looked at Griffin before speaking up in front of all the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples,
“I’ll remember what you did today, Senior Brother Griffin!”
Griffin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when he heard what Jackie said. “Why? Do you plan to
retaliate? You wish to do that by yourself? Stop thinking that you can show off in front of me because you’re under
the Eleventh Elder’s protection! You’re just a formal disciple right now, frankly speaking, but I’m a chosen disciple!
Who do you think you are to bring up revenge in front of me?
Jackie smiled coldly and replied indifferently, “Let’s wait and see.”
Jackie turned around and refused to look at Griffin again, all the while thinking of how to thank Byron as he had
come to his aid. After all, Jackie was not an ungrateful person.
Chapter 2224 Jackie thanked Byron solemnly, but Byron waved his hand in dismissal. “This is nothing. I did this
because I can’t stand Theo’s behavior.”
The two of them exchanged some words before Jackie sent Byron away.
Time passed by slowly, and after an hour, the aged voice could be heard again, “Time’s up! Everybody can board
the Divine Void Slope now! You’ll fight the Divine Void Warrior when you’re on the Divine Void Slope. The criteria to
judge your failure is when you lose your capabilities to fight or when you admit defeat. Once you lose to the Divine
Void Warrior, you won’t be able to continue climbing up the Divine Void Slope.”
The evaluation standard was quite fair as everybody could proactively admit defeat if they felt that they would be
badly wounded should they resume their battle.
“Alright! Those who wish to climb up the Divine Void Slope, you can start now. Those who do not wish to do so can
just stay at the bottom.” After the announcement, the crowd started to burn with excitement. Apart from those who
were badly wounded or dead, the others started rushing toward the Divine Void Slope. Jackie walked slowly and
looked like he was taking a stroll in the garden. He had no intention of fighting with the people in front of him.
At this moment, those closer to the Divine Void Slope climbed up the slope faster. The first person who stepped on
the Divine Void Slope was stunned, and his originally high spirits disappeared. He felt like he had been imprisoned
by the surrounding space and was unable to move. The next second, he heard something cracking..
This scene immediately extinguished everyone’s enthusiasm. Everybody looked over at the first person who rushed
up the slope but was stuck there and unable to move.
Crack! Crack!
Sounds of chains being pulled could be heard again, and the ground beneath that person suddenly shifted. The
person was unable to move his body, but he moved together with the ground. After an inhale, that person was
moved 300 meters away from where he originally was.
“Oh my god!” he blurted in fear. His sideburns were wet from his cold sweat, proving just how frightened he was
when his body was controlled.
The voice of the old man could be heard at this moment. “Everybody is given their own spot! What are you waiting
for? Why haven’t you moved up the slope? If you don’t move, the Divine Void Slope will decide that you don’t wish
to fight for the precious items.”
The words of the announcer acted like a stimulant. Everybody’s enthusiasm was rekindled when they saw that the
first person to rush up the slope was safe. Like bees flying out of their hives, everyone rushed up the Divine Void
Slope.
The Divine Void Slope was not crowded, even though more than 100 people had moved up the slope. The body of
every person who stepped on the slope was instantly controlled, and the ground they stepped on moved
accordingly.
In the beginning, Jackie was curious as to why the Divine Void Slope would function in such a way. However, Jackie
had an instant realization when he saw that more than 100 people had been arranged nicely. The Divine Void Slope
controlled the distance between them and led all of them to their respective places. At that moment, everyone
stood at the lowest point of the Divine Void Slope in one straight line.
Jackie did everything slowly, but it was not because he wanted to make a grand entrance. Instead, he did not wish
to spend time with these people. He had only arrived in front of the Divine Void Slope at this moment.
He was about to step onto the Divine Void Slope at this moment when he heard a gloomy voice saying, ” You’re so
much more interesting than I originally thought. You’ve been quite lucky until this point. However, you should
remember that good luck won’t come your way every single time. Young man… You‘ll suffer in my hands, sooner or
later!”
Chapter 2225 The masked man stood three meters behind Jackie and eyed him sharply.
However, Jackie replied indifferently. “Many people wish to kill me, but those people usually end up dead.”
“Hmph! Such arrogance! The masked man scoffed, one that sounded as though it boomed from his chest.
Jackie ignored the situation behind him and stepped onto the Divine Void Slope. The moment both his legs stepped
on the ground, he felt an unseen wave of energy covering his entire body. He was unable to move as the energy
was like hardened cement. Seconds later, he moved speedily and appeared at the northern side of the slope.
After his body was able to move freely, Jackie still felt a vague blocking force around him. Although he stood in the
same space as everybody else, they were in individual spaces. Of course, Jackie was not the only one who felt this.
Bang! Bang!
Sounds of something smashed were heard from far away, and Jackie saw a disciple from the Corpse Pavilion raise
his mace and continuously waved it at the space surrounding him.
The intense true energy collision caused waves of true energy in his surroundings. However, the collision was within
a range. With the Corpse Pavilion’s disciple as the center point, the aftershocks of the energy collision could be felt
within a radius of several meters. However, none of them could feel anything once they were out of the radius!
The disciple’s actions immediately made everyone else nearby follow suit. Moments later, everybody came up with
the same conclusion. Even though they looked like they were in the same space, they were isolated. This meant
that no matter how intense the fight in their individual space was, they would not affect the people around them. It
was absolutely fair yet marvelous altogether!
Jackie exhaled deeply and looked up the Divine Void Slope with his bright eyes. To be frank, this was not an amazing
place, but it was absolutely powerful. There were more than 100 people there, and the slope was capable of
instantly forming more than 100 individual spaces! The attainments toward the laws of space were unimaginable
when one was capable of doing so!
“The climb has begun! Remember: the Divine Void Slope is over nine thousand meters tall, and a Divine Void
Warrior will appear in front of you every nine hundred meters! Defeat the Divine Void Warrior, and you’ll be
qualified to continue climbing up the slope. On the contrary, the other party shall be eliminated! You’ll face nine
Divine Void Warriors, but there shall be ten battles. The last person who wins the battle shall win it all! Good luck…
warriors of the West Cercei State!” The voice, evidently coming from an aged individual, quieted down after he
finished saying this.
However, the people who joined this battle for precious items were unable to calm down. They were required to
join ten battles, but there would only be nine Divine Void Warriors. The information contained in this statement was
apparent!
Everybody caught the crucial point of the battle after giving it some thought. The last fight was a melee, and only
one person would win!
Once they thought of this, the intention to fight around the people grew more intense. Jackie saw a Thousand
Leaves Pavilion’s disciple staring at the peak of the slope as his intention to kill overflowed.
“Go!” roared an individual, striding toward the peak of the Divine Void Slope filled with burning determination.
Compared to the enthusiasm of those around him, Jackie was like an old man who moved slowly. Moments later, a
handful of participants arrived at the 30-meters point. That person had just stepped within the 30-meter-range
when their surroundings suddenly released a strand of reddish-orange light.
Chapter 2226 The person was startled and subconsciously stopped walking. The orangish-red light only appeared
for a short instant before disappearing a second later. A translucent phantom then appeared in front of him. The
phantom had a strict face and eyes filled with vigor. He had an object in his hand that looked like a crystal sphere.
The crystal sphere floated in mid-air due to the phantom’s true energy. He stood upright like a soldier in front of the
person.
This immediately attracted everyone’s attention; no doubt was this translucent phantom the Divine Void Warrior the
old voice mentioned. After the appearance of the Divine Void Warrior, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciple
immediately got ready for a great battle. He had a serious expression on his face as he stared at the Divine Void
Warrior while holding the sword in his hands tightly.
Surprisingly, the Divine Void Warrior did not instantly make his move after appearing, and it felt like his appearance
was to stop the people standing In front of him from advancing. As the Divine Void Slope was a precious item left
behind by the ancient master, the person could not simply take action before the enemy did, and no one dared to
act without caution.
Since the enemy did not do anything, that person could only be prepared with the sword in his hands and a serious
expression on his face.
Not long after, Divine Void Warriors appeared in front of every person that arrived at the 900 meter point. Each of
these Divine Void Warriors looked different, but all of them held a crystal sphere in their hands.
Jackie was not the very last to arrive at the 900 meter point, but he was among the last few. After he stepped into
the 900 meter range, an orangish-red beam appeared in front of him, followed by a tall figure. The Divine Void
Warrior in front of him was tall and thin with gentle facial features, but there was no mistaking that heroic look on
his face. He had a slight frown on his face that completed his solemn expression. He stood up straight with the
crystal sphere in his hands.
After he saw the phantom figure of this Divine Void Warrior, a thought flashed past Jackie’s mind.’ Warrior! A
fearless warrior!
Since the word ‘Divine Void’ was in the name of the Divine Void Warrior, the warrior was no doubt related to the
Divine Void World. Still, how were they connected?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Jackie’s mind, but he had no idea what was going on. He was lost in confusion
and deep in his thoughts when he heard a sharp yell.
“F*ck! It moves!”
The noise broke the rather eerie silence.
Jackie quickly looked up, and the Divine Void Warrior suddenly moved its eyes. The warrior was like a mannequin
whose switch had been turned on. The Divine Void Warrior’s eyeballs moved and seemed to be getting used to this
strange world.
The next moment, his eyes landed on Jackie. His eyes were icy-cold, and it looked like he was looking down at the
world. It made Jackie feel like he was a piece of floating duckweed in the eyes of the warrior, or, to be more exact,
a piece of trash. The warrior seemed to be emotionless as his eyes were focused on Jackie. To put it in better
words, he was not emotionless, but he was really ignoring Jackie, who stood in front of him. It felt as if Jackie’s
fighting prowess was not worth his attention.
Jackie cleared his throat and pinched his nose helplessly. He probed the Divine Void Warrior’s fighting prowess and,
sure enough, noticed that it was in the initial stage of innate level. His ascertainment should be correct…so why did
a Divine Void Warrior in the initial stage of innate level look at him in such a way? The warrior looked at him in
contempt as though he was nothing but garbage.
“D*mnit. What’s that look in his eyes for? I’ve never been looked down upon by a person in the initial stage of
innate level!” A depressed rant could be heard from a distance away. Jackie turned around to look and noticed that
many people around him were looking at the Divine Void Warrior in front of them with depressed looks on their
faces. Every Divine Void Warrior was staring at the challengers in front of them with contempt and ignorance.
Chapter 2227 These disciples were privileged people in their sects and had spent their lives showered in
compliments. They had never suffered such contempt, and the look in the Divine Void Warriors’ eyes was extremely
depressing for them.
“Do we look like trash? Why are you looking at us like that? You’re only at the initial level of innate level!” A few of
them complained. Some of their worries dissipated as they had nothing to fear when the other party had the same
fighting prowess as they did.
The Divine Void Warriors standing in front of these disciples did not respond. The warrior had the same look in his
eyes and there was silence, as if the warrior heard nothing.
Jackie crossed his arms at his chest and observed the ongoings around him with great interest. The others were
speechless with his actions. As he was immersed in his own observation, he suddenly felt something around him
moving. The Divine Void Warrior standing opposite him suddenly raised the crystal sphere in his hands high in the
air. A bright light of seven colors immediately covered his surroundings.
Before Jackie realized what had happened, he found himself on a great prairie. He inhaled deeply, realizing he was
the only one there across the empty grassland. Why was he here? Where is this place? He was…
Where was he just moments ago? Jackie suddenly could not recall where he was before. It felt like he had been on
this great prairie from the start, yet he knew not how he got here and why.
“Jackie! I told you that I’d get my revenge, and I’ll finally have it today!” Theo smiled arbitrarily as he glared at
Jackie. He was a meter away from Jackie, cackling in glee. It felt like he was about to achieve all his goals in life,
that he could enjoy his life soon.
Jackie frowned and subconsciously took a step back. Since he practiced Destroying the Void, he subconsciously kept
some distance between himself and his enemies. Destroying the Void was a long distance martial skill, and close-
range fights were unbeneficial for him.
However, he noticed that he seemed to be rooted on the spot just as he was about to back away.
“What do you want?” sneered Jackie.
“Hahaha! What do you think I plan to do?! You discredited me in front of everyone, and I was punished by my sect
when I returned! Have you forgotten that? I’ll make you suffer so badly that you wish you were dead!”
“Jackie!” A dark voice could be heard coming from Jackie’s left side. He turned around, only to find that the masked
man was already at his left side. The man was looking at Jackie fiercely, as though he could slice Jackie into pieces.
Jackie inhaled deeply. No matter how strong his mentality was, he just could not get a grip of his calmness.
As he was shaken up, another voice appeared on his right side. “Who would’ve thought you’d end up like this today,
Junior Brother Jackie! How does it feel? Is it painful? Does it hurt? Your skin will be peeled off soon! This isn’t
something a normal person can withstand! Hahahaha!”
Griffin’s voice was like a lingering fly that hummed incessantly in Jackie’s ears.
Chapter 2228 Three enemies surrounded Jackie, their gazes burning with resentment yet were happy enough at
the thought of mincing Jackie into pieces. Jackie did have bad blood with all three men, and he knew they were
capable of cutting every piece of meat off of him with their daggers.
Jackie was in a muddled state at this moment. He knew that he was in extreme danger, that the enemies were
about to torture him until he died. He wanted to break free, but his body felt like it had been infused with cement,
and he just could not move.
A cold wind swept through his sideburns, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately turned around and saw that
the masked man had a dagger in his hand as he approached Jackie. The remaining two people were also on the
move. All three of them had a sharp weapon in their hands respectively, and he knew what they were about to do.
Sure enough, what he feared the most was happening.
Suddenly, a thought flashed past Jackie’s head. At the same time, Jackie seemed to have a sudden realization, and
his expression turned stiff.
No… Why would the thing that he feared the most happen to him? It was just seconds ago that he assumed the
three men would cut him clean from his bones, and they suddenly advanced toward him with such intention. Each
of them had a sharp weapon in their hands, too.
Such a coincidence meant that this was not a coincidental matter. Moreover, why was he here? He seemed to have
landed on this great prairie out of the blue. Was he so careless to have stepped into a trap?
No. This was a fantasy. This was not real!
Jackie immediately bit on his tongue when he realized this, and the pain cleared his mind! The words Divine Void
Illusion’ flashed through his head.
The feeling of being caught in an illusion was familiar, but there was also a hint of unfamiliarity. The familiar feeling
did not come from Jackie, but from the memories in his head, those that belonged to the ancient master. The
Divine Void Illusion was a common illusion attack in the Divine Void World that could invade a person’s mind and
attack the victim based on the person’s worst fears. Once they plunged into inextricable fear, they would be unable
to regain consciousness.
The Divine Void Illusion was a premium Red Level martial skill. On top of that, it was one of the greatest skills
among those in the premium Red Level, and it was close to being an Earth Level martial skill! Jackie dared not
waste time when he realized this. Those three were still terrorizing him by making threats, and they had already
waved the sharp knives toward Jackie’s skin!
“Stop!” Jackie roared angrily and started activating the Destroying the Void. All 15 soul swords were formed and
were like sharp swords sent flying at the same time. The swords traveled in Jackie’s body and broke all those
delusional thoughts in his consciousness.
“Clatter!” After the power that belonged to the Divine Void Illusion was perforated by Jackie’s Destroying the Void,
the power disappeared from Jackie’s consciousness and the surrounding illusion gradually disappeared. The great
prairie dissolved in front of his eyes, and all three enemies dissipated like flying ashes.
When Jackie could see his surroundings clearly once, he realized that he was still standing on his original spot, and
the crystal sphere in front of him was glowing in an orangish-red color. The Divine Void Warrior stood right before
Jackie, but the crystal sphere had somehow floated toward Jackie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was so dangerous.
Jackie exhaled deeply in relief. Fortunately, he regained consciousness at a crucial moment and realized that what
he had seen moments ago was not reality. He was also lucky to have found out what martial skill this weird illusion
was from his memories. The ancient master practiced the Divine Void Illusion years ago and had deep knowledge
about this martial skill. Jackie was able to resolve the illusion smoothly because the ancient master had a deep
understanding of the method of resolvement!
Whizz! The crystal sphere sounded like it had been leaking electricity. After the sphere let out such a noise, the
orangish-red light gradually disappeared and returned to how it used to look. Jackie immediately looked up and
discovered that the Divine Void Warrior was looking at him with a different look in his eyes. From the original
ignorance and contempt, the look in his eyes had turned into a gradually serious one. Did the Divine Void Warrior
really have his own intellect?
From the beginning, Jackie felt that the Divine Void Warrior was just a phantom that could attack but did not have
his own intellect. Although the warriors looked at them as if they were trash, Jackie felt that their gaze was unifiedly
set.
Chapter 2229
However, Jackie gave up such thoughts when he saw the change in the Divine Void Warrior’s eyes. This phantom
had his own intellect, after all!
This…was too…
Jackie felt unnerved as he could not make out what he felt. What were these things?
“Let go of me! I’m sorry! It was my mistake! I won’t do it again!” A heart-wrenching cry came from his left, and
Jackie turned around to look. He noticed that almost everybody stood still in their places, but their faces were
extremely expressive. The cry came from a Muddled Origin Clan disciple.
The disciple’s body tensed while a frightened expression was written all over his face. He seemed to be pleading as
tears trickled down his cheek, wetting his shirt in the process. It was apparent that he had been crying for some
time. He was not the only one to react in such a way, however, as most of the disciples were in the same situation
when Jackie took a look around.
It was not hard for Jackie to imagine what sort of an illusion these people were in when he thought about his
previous expression. The illusion slowly unfolded every piece of fear buried in the disciples’ hearts, turning them
into reality. Experiencing such pain was not something a normal person could endure.
“Ufh!” The disciple’s face blushed a crimson color before he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
The Muddled Origin Clan disciple vomited a mouthful of blood, he looked like a cooked prawn and was unusually
red. Moments later, he, unable to keep himself composed, fell to the ground with a thud.
An orangish-red light enveloped the person, and the Divine Void Warrior standing in front of him declared, “You lost
your combat effectiveness, and you’ve failed the challenge! I’ll allow you to heal your wounds here, but you’ll go no
further from here. When the winner appears, everyone will be moved out of the Divine Void Slope.”
The appearance of this voice completely woke the Muddled Origin Clan disciple. When he realized that he had been
eliminated, he blushed and said, “No! I”He was about to say something when he felt a surge of blood overflowing
from within him. He had definitely lost but he had never imagined that he would fail so badly and so quickly. The old
voice once said that they had to experience nine Divine Void Warriors as they climbed up the slope. This was the
first one, and he had already lost!
Jackie sighed softly when he saw that the Muddled Origin Clan disciple had been eliminated. He knew that this was a
difficult challenge, but he did not expect the elimination to happen so quickly. He thought that all the disciples here
were masters sent by their respective sects, and eliminations should only happen when they meet the third or
fourth Divine Void Warrior.
As he was deep in his own thoughts, he could hear something cranking, like gears being activated. He looked up
warily and the Divine Void Warrior blocking his way had somehow disappeared without his notice. Did this mean
that he was allowed to pass? He inhaled and tried to walk forward. Jackie instantly understood when he no longer
faced any obstruction or was stopped. He wasted no more time as he advanced
Murmurs and cries of pain echoed around him, but this did not affect Jackie’s mentality as he was only thinking
about moving forward.
The Muddled Origin Clan disciple who was the first one to be eliminated had already accepted his fate and was
observing his surroundings as he tended to his wounds. When he saw a figure slowly moving up the slope, his
eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets as he blurted, “He’s passed the first test already? He managed to escape
the illusion by himself?”
Was deep in their illusions apart from Jackie and himself.
“Who is this? He’s wearing the Dual Sovereign Pavilion disciple’s attire, but… Why haven’t I seen him in the past?
No! I saw him just now! Isn’t this Jackie, the person who got into a fight with Senior Brother Theo just now?!”
Chapter 2230
Jackie and Theo had caused a huge ruckus at that time, and the Muddled Origin Clan disciples dared not follow
Theo to cause trouble at the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Those that did not go over also focused all their attention at
that side. Hence, this disciple was extremely surprised when he realized who that person was.
This guy was the first one to break through the illusion? Was he lucky, or was he really capable? The Muddled Origin
Clan disciple had a darkened look on his face. He was one realm higher than Jackie and was In the final stage of
innate level.
All of them paid attention to the chaos when Theo was causing Jackie trouble. As this guy was only in the
intermediate stage of innate level, they did not pay much attention to him. They had heard that he was only an
elder disciple and not even a chosen disciple.
The Muddled Origin Clan disciple could not accept the fact that a person he looked down upon was stronger than
him. He was not even in the mood to heal his wounds.
“Ah!” The masked man yelled loudly, and consciousness gradually returned to his eyes. He panted heavily, having
finally broken free from the illusion at last.
Crack!
The Divine Void Warrior that stood before him disappeared after being in a semi-transparent situation. With nothing
obstructing him, this meant the masked man was qualified to advance.
He could not help but lament, “Such a great illusion! I was also caught up in it, but… It couldn’t keep for long.” On
top of that, the masked man felt that a huge reason he was trapped here was that he lowered his fighting prowess.
He also felt that the Divine Void Slope had a certain degree of suppression on him. If he had his full energy, an
illusion of such level would be unable to trap him!
He laughed coldly at the thought. He glanced around him and discovered that everybody else, apart from himself,
was still caught in their respective illusions. All of them were frowning and looked like they were suffering badly.
He was the first one to break free! Of course, there were a few of these nobodies, but they did not deserve the
precious items on the Divine Void Slope. They were prepared for him, not these lame disciples that could not even
put up a fight!
Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the Muddled Origin Clan disciple surrounded by the orangish-red light.
However, this person had a weird expression on his face and a clear look in his eyes. He was not trapped in the
illusion, but the Divine Void Warrior blocking in front of him had not disappeared.
The masked man knew that this man must have been eliminated and sneered. He was only a disciple from a third-
grade sect, and it was normal that he was eliminated the moment he stepped on the slope. However, this guy had
a slightly weird expression on his face. Why was he looking at the Divine Void Slope with a frightened, yet jealous
look on his face?
As he followed the Muddled Origin Clan disciple’s line of gaze, he saw a familiar figure who had already arrived at
the 18-meter-range point. He stood up straight, and the Divine Void Warrior once again appeared in front of him.
The masked man had already understood the rules of the Divine Void Slope. The Divine Void Warriors would only be
activated when everyone was at their designated point, and the next round of elimination would only begin.
“Jackie…” He subconsciously called out this name that gave him a headache. Apart from being surprised, there was
a great deal of disbelief in his voice. Jackie managed to pass the challenge before he did? He had just woken up
from the illusion, but this guy had already arrived at the 18-meter-range point and was awaiting the next round of
elimination.
The masked man’s expression immediately darkened as he stared at Jackie’s figure, unable to believe the sight.
Why? How could that guy be faster than him? He had already broken through into the spring-solidifying realm, and
he would not have taken the pill to suppress his fighting prowess if he did not need to come to this place. However,
the martial art techniques, martial skills, and combat experience he had would not reduce no matter how he
suppressed his fighting prowess.
He was absolutely confident about coming to the Secret Place for Resources, and he had never paid attention to
these young people. “Impossible! How could this be? Why?!” he growled through gritted teeth.
