If it had been his former self from a few years ago fighting him, he would probably have been deeply shaken. When one’s mind is still immature, suddenly discovering that someone of a similar age is so much stronger can easily lead to a loss of confidence.

Although he had to admit, Graham also felt a bit jealous. But in any case, the purpose of coming to Black Night City this time had already been achieved—he had finally experienced the Heavenly Demon Art... that strange kid.

“Eh?”

Graham couldn’t help but be surprised—the kid still hadn’t lost?

Clearly, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Demon Art had attracted many experts. Just who was fighting Mason Carter? It seemed... the battle was getting more and more intense. But the strange thing was, the opponent hadn’t used any spiritual power from beginning to end. Or was it that their spiritual power was being concealed by the Heavenly Demon Art?

Whether they were Graham people or Underworld people, they all had to use spiritual power to fight. Using spiritual power and not using it were completely different levels, and the source of the Graham people’s strength was also spiritual power.

The spiritual power of the Heavenly Demon Art was growing stronger and stronger... Spirit Burst!

Mason Carter used Spirit Burst!

This wasn’t referring to the Spirit Burst realm, but rather that those who entered the Spirit Burst realm could use up to three concentrated spiritual power explosions, with exponentially increased destructive power. The person fighting Mason Carter inside had actually forced him to use Spirit Burst!

Purple energy soared into the sky.

There were spiritual power reactions in several places throughout Black Night City.

“How strange, who could force Mason Carter to this extent?”

“Eh, even the Night Demon Heavenly Wolf Sword is out... it’s empty?”

After the purple light, accompanied by the earth-shaking tremors and deafening rumble, the powerful spiritual power forced the onlooking Yaksha clan and other races to keep retreating, leaving only those with strong spiritual power still nearby.

Although he was injured, it was nothing to Graham. His eyes were tightly closed, as if he were enjoying it—sometimes excited, sometimes confused, sometimes doubtful.

With a long howl like a heavenly wolf, purple sword energy shot up into the sky. Just what kind of guy was inside, to be so formidable? He himself had lost without even understanding how. But he didn’t think such bizarre moves would be effective against the Heavenly Demon Art, which was specifically designed to counter strange techniques. After all, the Heavenly Demon Art was the greatest of all strange arts.

When the sword energy faded into nothingness, people’s hearts suddenly relaxed. It seemed His Highness the Prince had finally finished the fight. To unleash the Night Demon Heavenly Wolf Sword with such powerful spiritual power—never mind the older generation, among the younger generation, no one could stand against him!

“It’s over?”

“No, strange... just who is it, who can suppress Little Tian without even using spiritual power? Even a few of the old monsters would have a hard time with that.”

Just as people thought it was over, the sky rumbled, and a bolt of purple lightning fell into the courtyard.

By the Great Brahma, Mason Carter had actually entered the Spirit Guidance realm!

He was only seventeen this year, and he had already entered the Spirit Guidance realm. Back then, even Logan Carter had to wait until he was twenty!

Mason Carter’s roar carried the domineering air of “the world is mine.” With the Spirit Guidance realm combined with the Heavenly Demon Art, even the older generation’s Spirit Guidance experts wouldn’t dare claim victory!

Mason Carter’s entry into the Spirit Guidance realm was a heavy blow to Graham. It was a kind of utter powerlessness. Ever since he entered the Spirit Burst realm, he thought he had the strength to challenge Mason Carter. At most, the other’s Spirit Burst level was higher than his, but there was still hope. But... the gap between Spirit Burst and Spirit Guidance was like a chasm. To reach the Spirit Guidance realm at this age was beyond his wildest dreams—an unimaginable difference.

Suddenly, Graham felt a bit suffocated.

Who was that sweeping boy who could stand against Mason Carter?

Looking across the continent, who could train such a disciple!

It definitely wouldn’t be the Immovable King Ming!

The Lone War God Hughes?

Possible, but to be honest, even Hughes would have a hard time training a disciple who could rival Mason Carter. After all, a master is one thing, but talent is also crucial. And most importantly, Hughes’s technique couldn’t be called the strongest—his strength lay in his Undying Sword. But this person... fought barehanded!

Besides these three, who else could it be?

Who else on the whole continent could train such a disciple?

The Spirit Guidance realm was something ordinary warriors knew nothing about. They’d only heard of it, but almost never seen it. At this moment, several shadows were rushing from the corners of Black Night City. The battle was one thing—even a fight at the Spirit Guidance level wasn’t all that rare; after all, top experts were normal. But for someone this young to appear who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Mason Carter—that was enough to shock the entire Brahma Realm!

Drawing on the power of heavenly thunder, Mason Carter reached his peak strength. Since entering the Spirit Guidance realm, he had never met such an opponent. Yet that trace of anxiety came from his opponent. He had already entered the Spirit Guidance realm, but his opponent hadn’t used equivalent power at all. Mason Carter had followed his father since childhood and was knowledgeable and not superstitious about spiritual power. The other party must have used some kind of technique, but in the Brahma Realm, he had never heard of such a powerful technique.

The difference in realms was insurmountable—this was a truth recognized by every Brahma person.

Deathly silence...

After entering the Spirit Guidance realm, the courtyard fell silent. And as Mason Carter’s spiritual power soared to its peak and then vanished, no one knew what had happened.
