Chapter 172 - 162.4 : Back To Home (1/2)

Unwillingly, Vyncent opened his mouth and let the strange orange flame enter his body. At first, he felt a weird feeling as he sensed it going down his throat but its presence instantly disappeared once it reached where his DanTian was.

”Good, a wise man knows when to give up. Since the simple stuff is done, let's discuss the main topic.”

As he finished speaking, Arthur waved his hand unceremoniously and took Vyncent's storage ring directly from his finger. Gazing at the violet storage ring whilst playing it with his hands, Arthur spoke again

”I may not be acknowledgeable about this godforsaken place, however, I know that Humans aren't supposed to be here which means....”

Stopping there, a cold glint flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Vyncent but it soon disappeared in a flash, as if it never appeared. Vyncent, who was staring back at Arthur, noticed such a change and couldn't help but feel a cold shiver across his body. At this point in time, the young man was soaking with cold sweat as he sat in front of the black-robbed Arthur and didn't even dare try any tricks or breath heavily.

Nether Energy was injected into the ring, he met a slight resistance at first but it was soon crushed by the overwhelming pressure coming from the invader.

Arthur browsed through the storage ring, which had the biggest space compared to all the others he had seen, except Zodiak's, of course.

There were a bunch of cultivation techniques, a couple of hundred Top Spirit Red Stones and even a dozen of Green Spirit Stones, which were a grade higher than the Red Spirit Stones. Although they are used as currency, some people use them to refine into pills which recover Nether Energy, however, their efficiency is not great so it could be considered as a loss. Unless someone was filthy rich, he would not refine them into pills.

In fact, how much Nether Energy a person recovers in a specific amount of time depends on the Cultivation Technique they are practicing along with their Realm, but what not all people knew is that the Wisdom stats also played a huge role in Mana or Nether Energy Recovery.

Seeing the different foreign pills, a good looking saber, and a few materials, Arthur chuckled as this young man was quite rich, at least compared to the people in the Underworld.

What confused Arthur is that how a Medium-Realm like this one have Gods and Divine beings but a High-Realm like the Underworld have close to zero Gods as only the factions leader were so.

Just as he was going to finish his quick browsing, Arthur caught sight of a metal emblem, it emitted faint threads of Nether Energy. The emblem was a three-eyed eagle, it had some kind of royal aura, it's as if it was superior to all things. Disregarding the violet ring, Arthur took out the emblem and waved it at Vyncent, who paled once he saw the emblem.

”I see.... now that is much more interesting.”

It didn't take a genius to know from where Vyncent came from, Arthur was able to deduce it immediately once he saw the emblem. He kept the emblem in his storage and along with the youth's ring and added

”Now here comes the real question. How did you cross the wall? Don't forget that you have been given a second chance.... so don't ruin it.”

Vyncent's face turned green as he saw his ring and emblem got taken without being able to resist, however, he didn't dare raise an objection. He gripped his fists tightly and reluctantly replied after a moment of silence

”An elder from my sect would get us past the wall of fire. Unless you are a God Realm, you can't pass through.”

'God Realm, huh...'

Arthur current prowess could match up to a peak Grade God, like Delia. In fact, he had the confidence and power to deal with the three bosses of the Underworld alone if he were to face them again, with the drastic change that happened to him, his confidence was boosted by a bit.

”And how does this elder get you past the wall? Is there a teleportation array?”

”N,No.... he wraps our bodies with his Nether Energy to defend against the Yang fire or else we would explode.”

After he contemplated what was said for a bit, Arthur talked again

”Yang fire?”

”It's a fire condensed from a huge quantity of Yang Energy. Males have harder times passing through the wall as we have Yang residing in our bodies, as for females, even one at the Divine Realm can pass through the wall of Yang fire thanks to the strong Ying in their bodies.”

Vyncent spared no thought as he explained everything he knew, against such a terrifying existence like Arthur, he couldn't try his sly tricks. Even when talking with an Elder of his clan, he didn't feel such fear and pressure albeit the fact that Arthur wasn't going out of his way to use raw power to suffocate him with pressure. Just his calm voice and how he behaves uncautiously in front of him proves that he didn't even consider him as a threat.

'Gulp'

Unconsciously gulping some saliva, Vyncent thought back to when he tried to kidnap Alina and how, at first, he was ignorant enough to think he could deal with Arthur.

....

As he thought about the Yang fire, Arthur wasn't sure if his immunity to fire will be helpful or not and even after checking the system, there is no option that specified which kinds of fires he was immune to. After letting out a sigh, Arthur got up from the bed and smiled friendly at Vyncent whilst saying

”Brother Vyncent is sure an honest boy, I hope that next time we cross paths, you would not do foolish things again.... oh and I will be taking your stuff as compensation. Till we meet again.”

Arthur's figure gradually became blurrier until it disappeared from the room, leaving only a stupefied Vyncent, who only managed to get up after a few minutes passed.

He felt a cold chill from that 'friendly' smile, he didn't even dare to talk back and only sat there. At first, he thought about asking for his emblem at least but he would only be slaughtered so he kept his mouth shut, which ended up being the right choice to do.
