Chapter 782: Chapter 466: Tao Yu_2
Moreover, a hundred years is too long; by then everything will have changed beyond recognition. Logan instinctively refused just thinking about it. The most crucial point was that he wasn’t someone who would hide. When facing a powerful enemy, one should think of ways to battle them. Although he was weak now, that might not be the case once he went to the Outer Domain.
Ten years later, he might well be able to match Demon Cultivation Cliff. Logan was confident in this regard, and wasn’t Demon Cultivation Cliff also injured? If push came to shove, he could ask Oliver Bennett, of the Immortal Realm, to take action. Although Oliver Bennett, as a Half-step Saint Emperor, might not be able to defeat a true Saint Emperor, things would be different when one was injured.
Now Logan understood. No wonder the Saint Emperor Powerhouse he had encountered previously didn’t go to the Immortal Realm in search of him. They were wary of Oliver Bennett. Otherwise, going to the Immortal Realm to rescue the sealed Saint Emperor would lead to calamity for the entire Ancient World if two Saint Emperors joined forces.
The illusory figure stroked his beard and said, “Since you feel this way, go ahead to the Outer Domain. The Teleportation Array is right here, and it will appear a moment after I leave.”
“I spent a full hundred years laying down this Teleportation Array. I had thought of returning to the Outer Domain after recuperating from my injury, but unfortunately, I perished in the end.”
As the figure of the old man disappeared, a Light Pillar appeared. After Logan walked over, his figure flashed and vanished, reappearing in a desolate desert.
The figure of the old man was like a withering leaf, flickering in and out of view, before it vanished instantly, leaving only a brilliant Light Pillar in the empty air. Logan sighed deeply, knowing that this consciousness had dissipated. Although he had never met its owner in life, having received two inheritances made this entity half a master to him.
Logan’s gaze was determined. Without any hesitation, he stepped onto the Light Pillar. In an instant, his figure flickered like a star several times before completely disappearing from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in the midst of a vast desert. It was an endless expanse of barrenness, with golden sand grains shining brightly under the blazing sun, as if flames had fallen from the heavens to create a vast sea of sand. The heatwaves rolled in, scorching, as if they intended to devour everything under the fierce sun.
Scanning his surroundings, Logan saw at the distant horizon line that the undulating dunes resembled the slumbering spines of Giant Beasts, silently narrating the desolation and solitude of the desert. The sand beneath his feet was scalding hot, and each step he took stirred up tiny footprints that traced fleeting, flowing patterns.
At this moment, Logan stood alone amidst the vast expanse of the desert, his heart filled not with fear or perplexity but with a strong desire to explore and a resolve to face challenges. So this was the Outer Domain? Clearly not, it was just a small part of the vast stretches of the Outer Domain.
Although not the center of the Outer Domain, Logan understood that this desert was the land of his upcoming trials, as well as the proving ground for his quest to grow stronger. Thus, he clenched his fists and resolutely marched forward.
In the endless sea of clouds and desert, Logan’s solitary figure was suddenly enveloped by the sharp aura of a dozen individuals, each one exuding the powerful presence of the Saint Seat Realm. Even though their Cultivation Levels were comparable to Logan’s, the overwhelming advantage in numbers undoubtedly put great pressure on him.
Logan was surprised. Was this the Outer Domain? Just a few random encounters, and everyone was at the Saint Seat Realm. He would have to be even more cautious.
The leader, with a cold, severe face, hooked up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, his words as bone-chilling as a cold wind, “In this sea of clouds and desert, we are the Dominators. If you want to survive, fork over a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones as a payment.”
“On what grounds?” Logan’s eyes were resolute. Although burdened, he didn’t show a trace of fear. He was well aware of his trump card – the Emperor Weapon he clutched in his hand was sufficient for him to turn the tide in adverse situations. In the face of such suppression, he stood even straighter, his voice deep yet full of strength.
“Interesting, in this desert, it’s been decades since anyone has shown such audacity. Not giving any respect and even speaking with a cold tone?”
The opponent saw that Logan did not submit, and immediately unleashed their divine skills, one by one. Terrifying waves of energy swept across the area, instantly turning the desert into an overwhelming sandstorm, blotting out the sky.
The fierce wind howled, and the world was in turmoil. However, Logan had no intention of retreating. He resolutely brought out the Emperor Weapon in his hand.
With the Emperor Weapon unsheathed, its might was astounding; the once arrogant divine skills seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and the dazzling Emperor Weapon became like a sword that shatters dawn, unmatched. In over a dozen rounds of intense battle, Logan struck down two people with the might of thunderbolts, their speed so swift and force so fierce, it left onlookers agape.
Yet, even Logan, wielding an Emperor Weapon, was riddled with wounds after facing the onslaught of over ten Saint Seat Realm powerhouses. Fortunately, he had come prepared, and he took out a precious Holy Life Elixir. This was an elixir that could boost one’s strength and heal serious injuries, and as soon as Logan swallowed it, an immense power surged within him, not only healing his wounds instantly but also raising his cultivation level.
At this moment, although Logan’s strength had significantly increased, the remaining ten fierce opponents still posed an extremely difficult battle. His eyes were firm, and he was surrounded by the vast power of the Emperor Weapon as he quickly thought of the next tactic in his mind.
Should he continue to confront them head-on, or should he flee, seeking an opportunity to break them one by one? For Logan, this was a headache; the desert hid many dangers and escape could not guarantee safety.
“Boy, our twelve brothers have dominated this desert for years, and no one has dared to provoke our fury. Yet, you’ve cruelly slain two of our brothers, creating a deep hatred between us that has forged a gulf that cannot be crossed. There’s no more room for reconciliation.”
The ten fierce bandits’ faces interwove grief and rage; their eyes brimmed with chilling hatred, they were wrathful, vowing to repay teeth for teeth, blood for blood, to have Logan’s death quell the hatred in their hearts.
However, under this raging fire, there lurked an almost imperceptible fear and dread. After all, the strength displayed by the man before them was too terrifying, capable of standing alone and suppressing twelve Saint Seat Level powerhouses. Such power was like a Deity, beyond their expectations, and utterly chilling.
Logan’s features were as cold as iron, his brows expressed an air of proud determination. Faced with the ten oncoming attackers, he said with a cold smile, “It’s clear you coveted the top-grade Spirit Stone in my hands and provoked me. When I ignored you, you all attacked together, and now you accuse me instead, truly ridiculous.”
As his words still echoed, the ten men launched their fierce attacks all at once, like dazzling meteorites streaking across the sky, speeding towards Logan like lightning. Knowing well the terrifying power of the Emperor Weapon in Logan’s hand, they chose to attack simultaneously from ten different directions.
They intended to scatter Logan’s attention and fighting power, ensuring that no matter which attack Logan blocked, the others could seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. This meticulously planned life-and-death struggle undoubtedly pushed the battle to a do or die situation.
In that critical moment, Logan stood still, the hint of a relaxed smile deepening in his eyes. His Emperor Weapon suddenly burst into blinding light, like a star falling to the mundane world, illuminating the entire battlefield.
“You think you can defeat me just because you have numbers? Utterly laughable.” Logan’s voice was cold and firm, like ice from the Nine Heavens, but it carried an air of undeniable pride.
The air around seemed to freeze at that moment, their eyes filled with shock and awe. Against the ten rushing attacks, with a flick of his wrist, the Emperor Weapon turned into thousands of sword shadows, forming an impenetrable shield. Each sword shadow met an attacker with unerring accuracy, and their collisions sent shockwaves rippling through the ground.
“How is this possible?” One man’s eyes bulged in disbelief, his face in shock as his attack was completely dissolved by the sword shadows, and the rebounding force swirled voraciously, leaving him utterly shaken.
Logan’s Emperor Weapon shone even brighter, as a more majestic force surged out from within him, turning into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky. Then, with the momentum of a thunderbolt, it swooped back down towards the ten men.
