Child of Destiny

……

While the clash between the two powerful elders was happening in the air, Belladonna and the Elder from the Nightfall Tribe had finally taken their people to a safe distance.

They did not immediately jump into action to help Elder Zhi because they knew that they would only become a burden if they tried to get involved in a battle of such scale.

They could only watch from a distance while keeping their guard up in any kind of development.

Belladonna wore a solemn expression while watching the battle. She knew that the old monsters from the Elder’s Council were extremely powerful, but she still did not expect that they would be at such a level.

Despite fighting a chieftain-level elder from the Void Tribe, Grandmaster Benn seemed to be going all-out. He looked relatively relaxed during the entire battle, seemingly waiting for something.

Elder Zhi was very powerful as well, but it was clear that Grandmaster Benn had a better edge in this battle.

The former might still have stronger cards under his sleeve, but that did not mean that the latter did not have some on him.

“No wonder the higher-ups are too wary when dealing with these Elders; they are too scary to deal with,” she mumbled before recalling the extremely powerful monsters within their organization.

She wondered when they would make their move officially. She heard that those people were on a whole other level.

They had only made one move ever since she learned about their existence. That was when they took away Jan Mateo under the noses of everyone in the Soaring Continent.

However, it required them to have everyone do it. They were too wary of the Heavenly Demon at that time, making Belladonna curious about how strong Adam was, and she wondered what level this monster had reached.

While Belladonna was lost in her thoughts, the elder from the Nightfall Tribe was having thoughts of his own.

Watching the battle between Elder Zhi and Grandmaster Benn, he finally realized why the Great Ancestor of the Voidwalkers chose to work with outsiders.

He used to believe that the current power of the Voidwalkers had recovered enough and was ready to launch their attack against humanity once again.

But after seeing the power of a single member from the Elder’s Council, he immediately changed his mind.

It was said that the World Government possessed powerful experts of their own. Moreover, they were supposed to counter the forces of the Voidwalkers, especially when their existence was meant to fight against the latter.

Their forces might be enough to face the World Government, but he understood that they would still be on the losing end if they considered the old monsters of the Elder’s Council.

Even though it was said that the World Government and the Elder’s Council had some disagreements with a lot of things, these two forces would still work with one another when their common enemy appeared.

It was no wonder that their Great Ancestor was helping forces such as Black Serpent Mafia.

With these underworld organizations stirring trouble in the ranks of humanity, their forces would have a lot of time building up their power.

This would also weaken the other forces, making it more beneficial for the Voidwalkers in the long run.

“Are we still proceeding with the ritual, Elder Nirasha?” asked the member of Nightfall Tribe who came alongside him.

Nirasha, the elder from the Nightfall Tribe, glanced at him before shifting his gaze toward the members of the Black Serpent Mafia.

He then answered after a while. “Arindam, remember this: the order of the Great Ancestor is absolute. No matter what the situation we are in, we must execute it regardless.”

“Unless the other party has decided to pull out of this mission, we must follow the ’His’ orders,” he added with a solemn tone.

“I understand, Elder Nirasha,” responded Arindam while bowing.

Nirasha then turned to the member of the Void Tribe, who came alongside Elder Zhi, and said. “Xing, prepare the portal. We must prepare for the worst.”

“That Elder can’t come on his own,” he emphasized, understanding the current situation.

That member of the Void Tribe nodded solemnly and started preparing.

However, there was no time for it since their enemies had already made their moves.

Swoosh!

The gazes of Belladona and Nirasha had suddenly turned sharp, sensing something. Their bodies then shudder all of a sudden after sensing another powerful presence heading their way.

It was as if they were suddenly targeted by a savage beast hiding in the dark, becoming its prey.

When Belladonna turned her gaze toward the source of this overwhelming presence, her eyes suddenly contracted because a huge and muscular shadow suddenly greeted her.

A huge fist was also rapidly magnifying before her eyes, punching straight to her face.

She then summoned a bunch of vines from the ground, controlling them to wrap around the opposing party’s body and attempting to slow their action down with such restrictions.

At the same time, she created a wall between her and this person as fast as she could.

Boom!

Unfortunately, all of it was far from being enough to stop the other party.

All the vines wrapping around the other party’s body snapped one after another, failing to affect their actions, while the wall of coiling vines was instantly obliterated upon impact.

Bang!

She was still able to create a set of armor to protect herself from the incoming fist, but she was sent flying immediately after.

Because of this, she was also separated from the vines protecting the coffin, sealing the demonic vessel and the box containing the Golden Nirvana Pill.

Her expression immediately turned solemn after realizing this.

She then swiftly raised her head, wanting to have a clearer look at the person who had ambushed her.

However, her eyes further contracted after seeing that person.

“Joaquin Giovanni!” she shouted in rage.

Joaquin smirked when he saw his expression. But he swiftly turned to the side and threw a powerful punch to the side.

Swoosh!

Coming from that direction, Nirasha was charging straight at him and throwing a powerful punch of his own.

Boom!

Both sides possessed overwhelming strength and unparalleled physiques, so the collision was explosive as expected.

Joaquin was pushed dozens of meters away, leaving a deep and long trail on the ground, while Nirasha was thrown the same distance and fell right beside Belladonna.

“Tsk! Tsk! You, ’walking shadows,’ sure are tough,” said Joaquin while shaking his arm to shake off the tension in it that came from the previous collision.

On the other side, the corner of Nirasha’s mouth twitched after hearing those words. However, he refused to respond to the insult and gave orders to the two young Voidwalkers instead. “Secure the package!”

Belladonna also did the same, shouting at the people from the Black Serpent Mafia. “Make sure that nothing happens to them!”

Right after saying that, the two charged at Joaquin, understanding that they had to keep this crazy monster busy before anything else.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seeing them charging at him, Joaquin flashed a ferocious and excited grin before bumping his fists together.

Thump! Thump!

His heart then started beating violently, making his blood flow violently.

At the same time, thick fur grew on both of his arms, covering them like a beast’s leather skin. His hair also grew longer alongside it, creating a beastly mane, while his fangs became a bit longer.

He seemed to have transformed into a humanoid beast with all these changes, which were produced by the Blood Sutra of his warrior tribe, combined with his unique method.

Roar!

He then started charging at the two, welcoming a one-versus-two matchup with open arms.

…

At the same time, the others were charging straight to the said packages.

Xing was the first to arrive before those packages by using his teleportation ability. But before he could even secure them, a sudden flash appeared beside him, followed by a person slashing at him.

Swoosh!

Xing swiftly kicked the packages away before quickly teleporting in the distance to escape from the ambush.

Raising his head, he saw Benedict and Elijah walking out of the void while staring at him.

“Using Spatial Abilities before a Void Tribe? You are seeking to embarrass yourself,” said Xing while making the spatial particles around him dance in a certain rhythm.

Benedict did not respond immediately and instead pushed his glasses with his middle finger, adjusting them a little.

“Alone? I may not be your match,” he said before pointing to Elijah beside him. “But with some assistance, I don’t think that we will lose.”

In another location, the coffin fell right before Arindam, along with the small box tied to it with a vine.

He was about to stretch his hand to grab them when he suddenly sensed someone charging straight at him.

He swiftly dropped the idea of grabbing those packages and quickly assumed a battle stance to greet the incoming assailant. He did not care who it was and just threw a punch in that direction.

Boom!

The same with the confrontation between Joaquin and Nirasha earlier, a strong collision erupted while both sides repelled one another and pushed their opposition dozens of meters away.

Arindam was slightly surprised, seeing that someone was able to match him in terms of power and physique when he was supposed to be a member of Nightfall Tribe, who were known to be among the best when it came to this area.

He was starting to speculate that this person was someone from those Ancient Warrior Tribes.

“Not bad! It is what to be expected!” said Rock while wearing an excited expression. “Let’s go!”

Arindam slightly furrowed his brows. He was about to charge forward when a voice suddenly rang from the distance.

“You shall not move!”

Arindam, who was about to explode with power, suddenly halted after that voice reverberated in the place.

That was not even the end, since something even more absurd followed immediately after.

“This fist will blow you away!”

Then he saw a small figure standing right beside him, throwing her little fist straight at him.

That simple-looking punch seemed to carry a mysterious power that could dominate everything on its path.

From his perspective, the incoming fist looked like a giant mountain that was about to slam into him.

“Spirit Speech!?” mumbled Arindam after realizing what kind of power the other party possessed.

Boom!

Just like what Dayna had said, her little fist truly blew Arindam away, sending him flying in the opposite direction.
