As Peter Brown's army was waging battles everywhere, an old man's gaze flickered uncertainly in the belly of a mountain.

"What's going on?"

The old man's face showed an expression of confusion.

"The rule of power seemingly has an attraction, moving toward somewhere far!"

The old man's eyes were deep; as he executed a hand seal, he rapidly calculated potential occurrences.

"Vastsea Nation, Great Sun City!"

The old man stood up abruptly.

As he stood, the interior of the mountain was instantly filled with a large amount of vigor.

"Someone is seizing the rule of power!"

The old man's complexion changed somewhat at this moment.

What exactly was happening?

The old man walked out from inside the mountain, his gaze directed toward Great Sun City.

Nobody knew the situation of this old man; if Peter Brown were here, he might realize that this old man was one of those sitting cross-legged, comprehending the Rule of Gold, and he also had his own consciousness as an enlightener.

The old man was named Joseph Turner, and he had been sitting cross-legged, contemplating for a very long time, even reincarnating several times within Vastsea Nation. It was precisely due to a certain Awaken Stone in his possession that allowed him to preserve his consciousness each time from being obliterated.

This time, he had utilized myriad means to survive up to now.

After experiencing too many things, Joseph Turner finally gained enlightenment on the Rule of Gold, understanding that only those not obliterated in reincarnation could achieve it.

In fact, even Peter Brown didn't know that each Phantom Realm of enlightenment only contained some Killing Energy, just enough for one person to successfully comprehend, so only one competitor could leave alive in the end.

Many had comprehended a little but ultimately did not awaken, so the Killing Energy would be released back into the Phantom Realm, and after Joseph Turner understood this, he would immediately kill anyone he found comprehending, and after killing the person, the Killing Energy within their body would scatter once again into Heaven and Earth.

If it were ordinary mortals, Killing Energy would enter their bodies, but this was a natural absorption, not a method of seizing power!

Soon, Joseph Turner confirmed that someone was truly seizing the Killing Energy.

Who could it be?

Joseph Turner hadn't emerged for a long time; in this Heaven and Earth, he was considered a capable person.

"Old Joseph, who is competing with us?"

A voice came from a distance, also carrying a sense of extreme unease.

"Someone is actively competing!"

Another voice came from the Land of the East.

In fact, over such a long time, in this Phantom Realm, there were five people competing for Killing Energy; they all awakened their consciousness due to various reasons, thus realizing the importance of Killing Energy for comprehending the Rule of Gold.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of these five people was similar, none able to defeat the others; naturally, they each occupied a place, waiting for others to die or fail, and even fought a few times, but none could kill the other.

"Vastsea Nation is Joseph Spencer's territory. David, what do you say?"

After a long time, an elderly voice came over: "Alas, I spent a lot of effort stirring up chaos, causing turmoil in Vastsea Nation. Princes are competing, hoping a large amount of Killing Energy would appear so I could absorb it, but unexpectedly, the Killing Energy headed north to Vastsea Nation and was absorbed by someone!"

Ah!

Several elders' hearts constricted.

"David, you should know the situation; this realm can only have five people. If someone appears from your direction, your power will significantly diminish, and he will surely replace you!"

"Of course, I know this, but the person has a million troops; what's baffling is that the Killing Energy generated by these troops tends to congregate towards him, now I'm unable to absorb much Killing Energy."

Upon hearing this, the other four were all shocked, they truly hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"Everyone, based on our understanding, when one is nearing the end of reincarnation, there will inevitably be someone entering here. David is old, and he is already incapable of merging. After his death, the newcomer will replace him. Have you considered that the newcomer is entirely different from the usual ones; he can actively swallow this Killing Energy—what does this indicate?"

"You mean his awakening is more powerful than ours; if that's the case, after defeating David, he will surely compete with us?"

"Exactly, if he truly is that awesome, everyone, we will perish in this realm with nowhere to be buried!"

"We all came here for the rule of power; if we can't successfully comprehend it, we will indeed die, and all efforts will be for naught!"

Although several old men had usually fought over Killing Energy, they had never worried like this before. If Peter Brown could indeed absorb all their rule of power, they would face complete erasure upon failure in comprehension.

"Everyone, I, Joseph Spencer, am unwilling! Can you assist me in eliminating that boy?"

"You can't defeat him?" someone asked, surprised.

"I haven't acted, but I can sense the person's power, it's a formidable force you all know; we are born from Killing Energy. This time I stirred up internal conflict, released a large amount of Killing Energy, which now that boy has absorbed over half, I'm uncertain in a fight against him."

"What?" Everyone was once again shaken; although they had all been nurturing themselves with Killing Energy here, none had absorbed much. Nonetheless, this method for internal mortals was already an impressive means, yet there was still no guarantee, showing how powerful that person must be.

"We can't let him grow!"

Everyone reached a consensus.

"Yes, if he develops further, it will mean doom for us."

"Everyone, we must enter this world. David, Vastsea Nation is your territory; we have no choice but to push our power into Vastsea Nation. This time it's going to be big, possibly smash Vastsea Nation to pieces!"

"Alright, this time I agree for everyone to come, that kid must not succeed!"

Everyone's Divine Sense converged, analyzing the situation; they all knew they couldn't continue like this.
