Following Lin Sheng’s orders, they started to search the entire Great Hidden Realms.

Upon getting his orders, Djall Demonhand quickly dispatched his men.

On the other side, the warlocks too had sent a message to the Fairy King for the call to arms.

Very quickly, the Fairy King stepped out of the Darkspirit Gate with several elite heralds in tow.

“Your Highness, what do you command?”

This contradictory existence with a perfectly hot body but only one eye on her face knelt bowed before Lin Sheng.

“I want the Fairy Kingdom to send out their slave army to explore new hidden realms. How to do it fast, I leave it to you. I only need results.”

As for the Fairy Kingdom, he could not treat them as roughshod as he did the dark spirits. The Fairy Kingdom had already become an existence where both fairy and man co-exist. With the powerful bond between them, just giving them the objective, letting them do them, and only asking for the results was the best way forward.

“As you command,” the Fairy King said calmly.

Without a doubt, she would have more ways to seek out new spaces without damaging it compared to Djall Demonhand.

After giving his orders to the Fairy King and Djall Demonhand, soon Lin Sheng could sense new hidden realms with the constant search for realms with the aura of the fragments.

Sensing a position, determining its coordinates, opening it up, creating a portal, and send in troops for exploration.

One by one, portals were being opened across the square.

Time passed by slowly.

A large number of dark spirits and Fairy Kingdom armies moved out. They had teleported here first, before turning towards the outer hidden realms. A massive amount of teleportation materials were consumed, alongside many other items.

Following that, a steady stream of dark spirit and fairy armies numbering in the tens of thousands started entering the portals.

A few days later.

Some of the portals were terminated as Lin Sheng had determined that they bore no value after the exploration, while some were kept due to having rich resources or research value.

As for those realms with confirmed fragment auras, Lin Sheng found a total of three.

He had sent a large number of troops into the three realms to investigate the places thoroughly.

The results from the expeditions showed that all of the realms were relatively vast, with room for intelligent life to survive.

Lin Sheng pondered for a little, he felt uneasy leaving his subordinates to look for a divine artifact. If they were to claim the treasure for their own later down the line, that would be a real loss for him.

So a moment of thought later, he decided to let them search the area first, before going in himself, and look for the fragments quickly before leaving.

...

Visaca Island.

“Soul Gaze.”

Mi Yue, or rather, Faldt lifted his head up, as a large number of gray tentacles grew on his back that formed into a large human face.

And the face had hundreds of blood-red eyes all over it, and the eyes were all staring deeply at the Palatinates before them.

*Hummm!!!*

An invisible pulse traversed hundreds of meters in an instant through some arcane channel and landed with deadly precision on a few Palatinates that were fleeing frantically for the lives.

“Nooo!!!”

One of them screamed in terror as the layers of protective shielding on his body popped like soap bubbles, and when all of his protective abilities were depleted, his body started to rapidly twist and contort under some arcane force field.

*Baamm!!*

In an instant, this patriarch from Olro’s Hellfire was torn apart like hemp flower, as bits and pieces fell into the sea.

1Seeing that, a few others felt even faster, with nary a word.

This was no longer a fight they could win by sheer numbers, every person there were lambs to the slaughter.

Faldt was already on a level beyond the Palatinates, and if they did not have powers of a similar level, charging headlong meant certain death.

“Black Hand.”

Faldt opened his mouth, as a dark, shadowy arm stretched out of his mouth, and grabbed at a few escaping persons.

*Poof!!*

Two Palatinates were just like lambs waiting for slaughter. Two gentle cracks later, blood exploded everywhere as they felt into the sea.

On Visaca Island, there were blood and corpses all over the sands.

The last remnant of powers of the dying Palatinates ran wild as they tore the entire island apart with a series of explosions.

The entire island saw its landmass blown up by several layers, and its sea level had fallen by at least ten-odd meters.

Faldt stepped on one of the Heaven Spire’s white banner on the ground, as he glanced at the two strongest fighters of the Heaven Spire, the goldened armored, white-winged man, and the Angel Encarmine that he was draining their life force dry.

“A shame. I still won in the end.”

An inexplicable smile appeared on his almost fully-rotten face.

“You... You think you’ve... won?” A bloodied old man nailed to the top of a crystal rock in the distance spat.

“You’re not dead yet?” Faldt raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man.

“Sieg, if you had not muddled the water this time around, you would not have ended up like this.” He had fused with Mi Yue’s memories and was in fact more like a mortal amalgamation of Mi Yue and Faldt.

Naturally, that meant Mi Yue’s personality and emotions were left behind.

In truth, he was not fully Faldt and was more like a spokesperson.

“Heh... I may have lost this time... but this world is not as simple as you think it is. Just you wait, someone will exact revenge for me. Just you wait...” the old man said coldly.

COMMENT

“I shall look forward to that.” Faldt reached out with a grab as a massive gray arm appeared behind him instantly, and it seized the old man brutally before squeezing hard.

*Bam!*

A cloud of blood blasted out of the hand.

“What a shame. Another old friend down...” Faldt looked up to sigh, a pretend-sigh.

All around him, none of Olro’s Hellfire Palatinates had an intact corpse.

And just as he was pretending to be lamenting, an invisible silver spike suddenly blasted out silently behind him towards the back of his head.

The person wielding the spike, was the strongest of Carta Blanche, the Star of Suncrown, Kaiser.

His face was pale, as he was obviously badly injured in the earlier fight.

He had already managed to conceal himself successfully earlier, but at this moment, the entirety of Visaca Island was being engulfed and suppressed by the crimson-ring force field.

He would be detected as soon as he touched the edge of the force field.

With his strength at this moment, using everything he had, he could probably take one casual hit from Faldt head-on.

If he could not hide after that, it would be the end of him.

So he had to come back and look for an opening.

“Impaling Requiem... If the stab connects, regardless of whether the target is injured or not, it can stun a living being’s soul for a day.” Kaiser was determined, as he knew that if he did not take down Faldt in a short time, he could forget about escaping here safely.

COMMENT

Rather than waiting for his doom, he might as well take the initiative to strike first!

His Palatinate ability enables him to hide his aura and life signatures. This ability allowed him to hide in a sub-dimension.

Only at the moment of attack would his aura be revealed, and that was the greatest tool he had to become the strongest person in Suncrown.

The silver spike was closing in onto the back of Faldt’s head little by little. Five meters. Four meters. Three meters. Two meters. One meter. And the spike suddenly accelerated as it burst forward.

“Spellword—Shock and Awe!”

Faldt suddenly spoke.

*Bam!!*

A gray shockwave rippled out from his body in all directions.
