Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 2319

Blake never would have thought that a practitioner who was obviously inferior to him could possess such a spiritual treasure. Only royal paragons would be able to wield an elite-quality spiritual treasure. Even though he was the Menzies' scion, he had yet to acquire an elite-quality spiritual treasure and was still relying on superior- quality ones. Blake's astonishment was beyond words-his eyes widened, and shock was etched across his face.

An elite-quality spiritual treasure bestowed formidable combat prowess upon paragons. Though Blake was a level five paragon who could briefly elevate his spiritual energy to level six after activating his celestial bloodline, the exchange of blows that he had with Severin had demonstrated the latter's unexpected strength, robust physique, and possession of elite-quality spiritual treasure.

Weakened by his previous battle with Elron, Blake had to face Severin and the elite-quality spiritual treasure. The option of retreating seemed a reasonable prospect in Blake's heart. He began to speculate Severin's identity and question if the latter hailed from a sacred land.

Meanwhile, on the fringes of the meteorite belt, Zeb and Karl had just recovered from the shockwave when they witnessed Severin unscathed at the source of the explosion. Zeb's pupils shrank in disbelief.

"An elite-quality spiritual treasure!" he exclaimed, mirroring Blake's shock. The Menzies only granted elite-quality spiritual treasures to those at level seven or level eight paragon. He could not help but wonder just who Severin truly was.

Realizing that Blake's safety was at stake, Zeb abandoned Karl and returned to Blake's side. He channeled a message to Blake, asking, "Are you okay?"

Blake replied solemnly, "It's nothing serious."

During the battle, the shockwave from the battle had torn the void apart, but Blake was able to withstand the aftermath by activating his bloodline power. However, the consequences of using that power began to manifest, and his body's spiritual energy was already waning. He did not know if he could avoid danger if he continued to engage in combat, especially as Severin had an elite-quality spiritual treasure.

Outside the meteorite belt, Karl could finally breathe a sigh of relief when Zeb ditched the attempt to kill him. He wiped off cold sweat and observed the tense standoff not too far away. Severin seemed to be in a stalemate with the Menzies, and Karl knew that he stood no chance if he intervened.

Lingering any further would likely be risky, so he cursed under his breath, "Just you wait, Severin! I'll kill you eventually!'

It was all because he sensed Severin's aura and decided to follow Severin after finding that there was no longer any Lunar Dew. He would never have entered into the fray and face one of the Menzies' prodigies in battle had he not tailed Severin into the meteorite belt.

Karl had already been defeated by Severin during the sect tournament, and the injuries inflicted upon him had caused his attainment and lifespan to take a hit. As a result, his attainment had only reached that of level one paragon.
