Caius, who had a sincere faith, deeply believed that the Lord would guide him, and that one day, he would meet Arcade again. However, the Lord could not guarantee that he would gain anything...
Just like now, what Caius could see, aside from demonic creatures, were the souls of the Immortal Heroic World, with no remaining benefits to be gained.
"Thud, thud, clang, clang."
Chaotic sounds came from a distance, occasionally mixed with a few cries of pain from humans—souls of the Immortal Heroic World did not speak, and Caius could distinguish the cries of the demonic creatures.
This cry came from a professional combatant.
With nothing else to do, Caius did not hesitate, turning directly towards the source of the sound, his body seemingly transformed into a beam of light, shooting towards the distance.
Encountering people meant he could gather intelligence, and in such a vast Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, having information was always a good thing!
...
In front of him, a second-tier professional was engaged in a "fierce" one-on-one battle with a second-tier demonic creature, yet it did not move Caius in the slightest.
With a casual wave, he unleashed a beam of white light, an energy wave that struck the demonic creature with the force of a laser, incinerating it into a pile of ash. Seeing the professional's face filled with suspicion, yet even more cautious, Caius had no intention of joking around. In an instant, he appeared not far in front of that professional.
...
After simply asking a few questions for intelligence, Caius waved his hand.
The professional on the opposite side seemed as if granted a great pardon, running away wildly without looking back, leaving Caius pondering at the spot.
Caius had indeed gathered quite a bit of information, but a second-tier professional could not grasp any high-end intelligence.
The only useful piece of information was the location of the command center established by the military on the Second Layer of the Heavenly Palace.
After a while, Caius sighed lightly.
He knew the benefits of being part of a large organization; compared to wandering aimlessly like this, temporarily joining the military would not be a bad option.
Strictly speaking, Caius had no conflicts with the military; it was merely a difference in ideology. Moreover, this ideological difference stemmed from problems with Caius's own perspective.
Adding to that were Lin Haifeng's various gestures of goodwill and an impeccable working style, Caius currently had no defensive mindset towards the military—his military status had not been revoked, and strictly speaking, he still belonged to the military.
With this in mind, Caius directly changed direction and headed towards the military headquarters.
...
First Layer of the Heavenly Palace.
The "fated showdown" was still ongoing.
Well, it should be said that the "fated showdown" had continued for nearly ten hours.
Wan Ping stood nearby, gasping for breath, his body covered in numerous fist-sized dents and deep wounds down to the bone, as if his body was being torn apart like a rag sack. At this moment, the face of Guan Tao that had been on Wan Ping's chest had completely disappeared.
This signified that Wan Ping had been killed by Ye Nan and the others once again...
Moreover, Wan Ping was quite lucky—he died once again but did not lose his main soul!
However, Ye Nan and the others, facing Wan Ping, could not be said to be in a good situation either!
Arcade's face was pale, surrounded by nearly a hundred blood slaves that were all low-tier or second-tier trash.
Zhang Shaojie's arms had been lost, yet he still remained in a state of black armor, appearing to still have some fighting strength—though it was merely an appearance.
The only one who was still intact was Ye Nan, completely unharmed—Avenger would not fall, and Ye Nan could not be injured.
But from the steam rising from above his head, it was clear that Ye Nan's stamina was almost depleted...
They were evenly matched, truly evenly matched.
