The entirety of the iron-grated door was cast from Millennium Meteoric Iron. Its hardness could well be imagined.

The Dragon-Severing Stone was even more extraordinary, entirely made of the hardest adamant stone in the world. Furthermore, the stone was carved with formations, vastly increasing its durability.

With a Heavenly Prison constructed from these two materials, no more than three people in Silver Willow’s entire history had managed to leave it alive.

She was not afraid of the various tortures in the Heavenly Prison. What she feared was being completely unable to escape it.

When she was first locked up, she still held onto a sliver of hope. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But now, hearing Amos personally point out the profound mechanisms of Heaven Block Cell No. 1, her eyes filled with absolute despair.

To rely on her own strength to escape this cell was harder than ascending to the heavens. Unless someone with world-shaking, heaven-reaching power sneaked into the prison and rescued her.

But how could that be possible? In the thousand years since the Heavenly Prison was established, no one had ever successfully rescued a prisoner from it.

What was more, she was now without relatives or friends. Who would take such a massive risk to rescue her?

She did not even know any experts of that caliber. Even Senior Desolate Sword absolutely lacked such capability.

"Who!"

Just as Maren was deep in thought, a cold snort from Amos startled her awake.

Maren looked in the direction of his shout and saw, hovering in the void merely three feet off the ground, a mysterious figure cloaked in black.

Amos’s face was livid. This person had sneaked into the Heavenly Prison, and not a single Great Grandmaster guarding it had noticed.

It was as if he had strolled into an empty land.

Bypassing the Great Grandmasters was somewhat understandable. While they were first-rate figures in Silver Willow, there was still a gap between them and the absolute pinnacle.

If a Mortal Supreme made a move, bypassing a Great Grandmaster’s divine senses would not be difficult.

But he had not expected this person to have almost bypassed him as well.

Although he had been focused on coaxing Maren, his divine senses had long been blanketing the entire Heavenly Prison.

For the powerful divine soul of a Mortal Supreme, multitasking was as easy as flipping a hand.

With his divine senses covering the prison, any rustle of leaves in the wind could not escape his perception.

Yet this mysterious black-robed figure had not only bypassed his divine senses but had sneaked to within no more than a few meters of him.

For a Mortal Supreme, such a distance was already extremely dangerous. If this person had closed the gap to within a few feet, Amos feared he would have been severely injured in an instant.

Amos looked as if facing a formidable enemy. He stared at the black-robed figure with solemn eyes full of vigilance.

Seeing that his tracks had been exposed, Adam no longer hid.

With a sword step, he closed the distance to Amos, ready to strike.

Lightning flashed across Amos’s body, his aura surging. He threw a punch, meeting Adam’s incoming palm strike.

Both were top-tier existences in Silver Willow. Their control over power had reached the pinnacle of absolute precision.

The collision of punch and palm did not erupt with mountain-shaking, tsunami-like momentum.

Instead, it was like a gentle breeze brushing against the face, as if nothing had happened at all.

However, after the exchange, the two separated.

Adam took three steps back, while Amos retreated seven.

If not for the wall behind him acting as a barrier, he would probably have needed a few more steps to stabilize his footing.

A trace of shock flashed in Amos’s eyes.

From that brief exchange, he felt the majestic, ocean-like blood qi nurtured within the black-robed figure’s body.

Such powerful blood qi, unfathomable like a vast ocean. To think there is such a terrifying body-refining expert hidden within Silver Willow.

Amos quietly rubbed the back of his fist, which felt like it was about to snap, and looked at Adam with deep wariness.

"Since Your Excellency is here for Maren, how about we take this battle to the sky? This place is too small. It would be easy to harm the innocent."

Amos’s words perfectly matched Adam’s intentions.

Although his control over power had reached the pinnacle of precision, he had not used his full strength just now.

Once he unleashed everything, it would be very difficult to perfectly control it all.

If even a sliver leaked out, that shockwave alone would pose a lethal threat to Maren at the Innate Realm.

And to take down this Mortal Supreme in an extremely short time, Adam could not hold back.

A streak of sword qi flew out, slashing a hole through the Heavenly Prison’s vaulted ceiling. Following the opening, the two soared into the high sky.

High above, the two confronted each other in mid-air, fierce wind whipping Adam’s robes into a loud flutter.

Adam’s face was full of strict solemnity, thick killing intent flashing in his eyes.

This battle had to be decided quickly.

Otherwise, if he was tied down, he would miss the best opportunity to rescue Maren.

"Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!"

Adam let out a loud shout, his aura continuously surging, reaching its apex in the blink of an eye.

Majestic sword intent erupted from his body like a whale swallowing rivers and seas.

Sonic booms echoed in the air, and a powerful shockwave spread outward with Adam at the center like a massive tidal wave.

Wherever it passed, roof tiles of surrounding buildings were lifted and sent crashing to the ground.

The majestic sword intent pierced straight into the highest heavens, then transformed into a massive, formless sword tens of meters long. This giant sword contained all the sword intent within Adam’s body. Its power was unfathomable.

The sword of intent slashed toward the crown of Amos’s head with world-splitting momentum.

"The Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords! You are from the Sword Sect!"

With no time to be surprised, Amos immediately released his entire aura. In an instant, the starlit night sky rumbled with thunder, and lightning flashed.
