Life After Prison



In less than half a day, Severin's portrait became the talk of the entire Starry Sky Battlespace.

On a large and life-rich planet deep within the cosmic expanse sat a level seven paragon. He was a young man dressed in a silver robe. Cloud patterns made of golden silk were embroidered on the silver robes. He had just withdrawn his divine senses from the jade slip on his waist.

Beside him stood two Menzie disciples, one of whom were relaying the recent events. "According to the Third Young Master's report, the Seventh Young Master has encountered a meteorite belt with metal Uru and engaged in a battle with the Greatflare's Ninth Prince. After that came a clash with the man depicted in the portrait, which resulted in the Seventh's defeat."

Upon hearing that, the young man in the silver robe sneered. 'His temper is the same as always. He's trying to use the Menzies' support to build momentum for a vendetta, which is causing quite a stir throughout the Starry Sky Battlespace."

One of the disciples with him offered to explain. "The Seventh Young Master wants to manipulate the situation and leverage on the powers of other people to kill that person."

"But that is not what he's accomplished. As it stands, he's foolishly enhancing that person's standing with our family as the messenger!" the stately young man scoffed.

In a fit of anger over the defeat, Blake had disseminated Severin's portrait throughout the Starry Sky Battlespace and disclosed Severin's possession of the elite-quality spiritual treasure. That action had inadvertently painted the Menzies as Severin's stepping stone to notoriety.

Simultaneously, in a region fraught with black holes, Ellery-Greatflare's eldest prince-examined Severin's portrait in a jade pendant. He asked his guards, 'Are you certain the message came from Blake Menzie?"

The guards replied in affirmation. "Indeed, Your Highness."

Ellery smiled thoughtfully and said, 'Interesting. Blake injured my ninth brother and was then defeated himself by that person. I must say the person who bested Blake is rather an intriguing one. I wonder which sacred land does he hail from."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ellery was a prodigy whose states was on par with that of the Menzie's divine son. He recognized Blake's prowess, and knew that a level five paragon was commendable even within the various sacred lands. Such had high rankings, and they could even contend with sacred disciples. The fact that someone had defeated Blake piqued Ellery's interest-albeit only slightly.

As the eldest prince of Greatflare's dynasty, he was just over thirty years of age and possessed the attainment of a level eight paragon. He did not deem practitioners of level three and below to be worthy of his attention. His interest in Severin primarily stemmed from seeing one of the Menzies being handed a defeat. After all, there were constant conflicts between the Menzies and Greatflare due to their geographic proximity.

As Severin's portrait gained more prominence in the Starry Sky Battlespace, numerous prodigies were enticed by the revelation that a level three paragon was in possession of an elite-quality spiritual treasure. They all began to eye the opportunity.

Over on an uncharted planet, a skinny figure in a black robe exuded an aura as sinister as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He licked his lips and looked up at the sky. "It's interesting that he has an elite-quality spiritual treasure despite only being a level three paragon."

Black energy enveloped the man's body, exuding a demonic presence that was full of demonic power. When he unleashed his level five paragon aura, cracks spanning several thousand miles appeared on the barren earth beneath him. Satisfied with the effect that his powers had, he rose into the air and headed straight for the meteorite belt that Blake had mentioned in the message.
