By merging with the lightning dragon, Amos now possessed the power contained within it.

In a flash, Amos raised his fist, covered in electrical arcs and emitting a dark light.

With ultimate speed, he smashed toward the crown of Adam’s head.

But the moment he passed through that curtain of light, his expression changed drastically.

It was as if an invisible force had trapped him. His entire body was completely out of his control, his speed slowing to a snail’s pace.

What astonished him even more was that the circulation of techniques within his body had become extremely sluggish.

After reaching Great Grandmaster Peak, Adam’s Time Domain had achieved a perfect state, and his control over time had become increasingly proficient.

Amos had comprehended the Dao of Thunder, and his speed was enough to rank in the top three of all Silver Willow.

But after entering Adam’s Time Domain, it was as if he were bound by a spider web. What felt to him like lightning-fast speed was, in Adam’s eyes, as slow as a turtle.

Adam surged his whole body’s blood qi, circulating the Divine Elephant Hell-Suppressing Scripture to its absolute limit.

The blood qi in his body erupted like a volcano.

Focusing all his blood qi into his right fist, he threw a punch, directly blasting Amos into a mist of blood.

After disposing of Amos, Adam did not even put the remaining eight Great Grandmasters in his eyes. Like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep, it took only a few exchanges to finish off all eight.

Maren was still in a daze. Although the battle had been exceptionally fierce and perilous, it occurred in the span of a lightning flash.

It was not until she heard the iron-grated door opening that Maren snapped back to reality, realizing this unknown, mysterious powerhouse was rescuing her.

Opening the iron gate forged from Millennium Meteoric Iron, Adam scooped Maren up and quickly left.

Just as he finished off those eight Great Grandmasters, he had sensed two powerful auras rushing toward this location.

If he delayed any longer, unexpected complications would arise.

Barely the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after Adam rescued Maren, a fat and a thin eunuch quietly appeared in the Silver Willow Heavenly Prison.

The auras exuded by these two were not the slightest bit weaker than the deceased Amos.

Seeing that Heaven Block Cell No. 1 was completely empty, the fat eunuch’s face turned ugly. "Old Aldyn, we were still a step too late. The Lord of Silver Willow’s deduction was correct. This person indeed came for the Veil Manor girl."

"I do not know who it is, but to possess such strength! Not only did they rescue Maren from the Heavenly Prison, but they also killed Amos on the spot."

"That Amos is truly useless. He at least comprehended the Dao of Thunder, yet he could not even hold out for a quarter of an hour."

"If Amos had held on until we arrived, with the three of us joining forces, even if that person had heaven-reaching methods, they could never escape our grasp."

Upon receiving news that the Heavenly Prison was under attack by a black-robed guest, the two deep-palace eunuchs set out from the Purple Gold Pavilion and flew all the way here, but still arrived a step too late.

"Old Maldric, say no more."

"Amos comprehended the Dao of Thunder and stepped into the Mortal Supreme realm twenty years before us."

"For that black-robed guest to kill Amos in mere moments, I fear this person’s cultivation has few rivals in this world."

Eunuch Aldyn let out a long sigh. Suddenly, he let out a soft exclamation. "Old Maldric, you have crossed paths with Sword Sect experts before. See if you can sense it. Is there a lingering aura of Innate Sword Qi in this Heavenly Prison?"

Earlier, they were merely astonished by the black-robed guest’s power and had not paid attention. Hearing Aldyn’s reminder, Eunuch Maldric carefully sensed his surroundings.

Sure enough, he felt the Innate Sword Qi Aldyn mentioned.

"Such powerful Innate Sword Qi! It is merely a lingering trace, yet still so pure."

"This person’s comprehension of the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords is likely even above the Sword Sect Master’s."

Shocked by Adam’s attainments, Maldric could not help but gasp.

"Old Maldric, do you think this was the doing of an expert from the Sword Sect?"

Knowing his deduction was correct, Eunuch Aldyn voiced his conjecture.

Eunuch Maldric nodded in delayed realization. "Innate Sword Qi is the unique hallmark of the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords.’

"In all of Silver Willow, only a few core members of the Sword Sect are qualified to cultivate it."

"Although I am baffled as to when the Sword Sect produced such a Mortal Supreme, apart from the Sword Sect, no one else in Silver Willow knows this peerless ultimate technique."

Eunuch Aldyn agreed with Maldric’s statement. Suddenly, as if remembering something, his expression changed drastically.

Maldric noticed the strange look on Aldyn’s face and hurriedly asked, "Old Aldyn, what is wrong? Why does your face look so terrible?"

A trace of horror flashed in Aldyn’s eyes. After a long while, he slowly spoke. "Old Maldric, I just thought of something terrible."

"What is it?" The thin and small Eunuch Maldric asked, confusion in his eyes.

"Old Maldric, do you still remember the matter regarding the Innate Dao Body that Chief Eunuch Allen mentioned a few days ago?"

"I remember. If that Innate Dao Body can be found, the people of the Ancient Ash Clan promised to gift two Eternal Pine Pills. Such a major event, I naturally would not forget."

"Otherwise, why would Chief Eunuch Allen, who serves by the Lord of Silver Willow’s side day and night, accompany that lord to the Sword Sect to demand..."

As he spoke, Eunuch Maldric suddenly stopped abruptly. Seeing the gravity in Aldyn’s eyes, he seemed to finally understand something.

"Old Maldric, judging by your expression, you must have figured it out!"

Eunuch Maldric nodded, his face full of worry. "Old Aldyn, Chief Eunuch Allen believed it was Desolate Sword who took the Innate Dao Body, which is why he accompanied the Thirteenth Elder to the Sword Sect to demand the girl."
