Chapter 254: Chapter 136: Divine Blood Berserker (Part 2)

Even though this was the Star Tower District, Zorn had still managed to kill five or six masters over the past month and a half.

Meanwhile, Zorn had managed to gather a good number of materials.

He ventured deep into a cave and gazed at the Source Pool, which was teeming with vitality.

Zorn raised an eyebrow.

’If I collect another 20 units of purple Spiritual Elves here, I should have enough to go to the altar area of the Purple Star Ring, start the ritual, and claim the treasure.’

’Once I get this first batch of resources, I can absorb the Star Trace Sand and the Eternal Night Star Mark to dramatically enhance my Star Trace Fighter Sequence.’

’Especially after I establish my Fighting Master’s Star Trace Realm.’

’The combined power of two Sequence Domains will be far greater than just one.’

Establishing the Star Trace Realm for his Star Trace Fighter Sequence was one of Zorn’s primary goals for entering this ancient battlefield.

After inspecting the Star Trace Gunman’s Storage Bracelet, Zorn raised an eyebrow, a slight smile touching his lips.

’Hmm... Two more portions of Star Trace Sand. What a pleasant surprise.’

With a flip of his hand, a mass of Star Trace Sand, like fine stardust, gathered into a fist-sized ball and floated above his palm.

He enveloped the ball of Star Trace Sand with his Gang Qi.

GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE...

His undulating Gang Qi continuously drew the Power of Star Trace from the sand, which Zorn absorbed with high efficiency.

Although any Sequence user could absorb treasures like Star Trace Sand and the Eternal Night Star Mark, a Transcendent of a Star Trace Sequence would find the process much more effective.

「About five or six days later.」

Zorn had finished absorbing one portion of the Star Trace Sand.

By then, he had also collected the 20 units of purple Spiritual Elves he needed.

After a final check to confirm that all his materials were ready, Zorn immediately got up and left the Source Pool.

Although training here was effective, Zorn had important business to attend to and couldn’t afford to waste any more time.

Upon leaving the Source Pool, the Wind Element Hand lifted Zorn and whisked him swiftly away.

Seeing Zorn leave the precious training ground of the Source Pool, the few Transcendents lurking nearby were immediately overcome with greed for the location.

Before long, a bloody struggle for the Source Pool began.

......

「Half a day later.」

Outside a towering altar in the Purple Star Ring District—a structure that stood over three hundred meters tall, like a mountain peak.

The Wind Element Hand held Zorn steady in the air.

In the innermost part of the Purple Star Ring District, there were a total of three Purple Star Altars.

And this particular Purple Star Altar was the key to unlocking the treasure.

However, it was enveloped in a protective shroud, a clear sign that it was already occupied.

Anyone capable of occupying a Purple Star Altar was bound to be powerful.

He clenched his fist.

A golden fist of Gang Qi, the size of a door panel, materialized in a blur.

Then, with a loud BOOM, it smashed against the altar’s protective shroud, sending out a massive wave of purple ripples.

A moment later, a burly man shot into the air, propelled by a pair of Extraordinary Combat Boots. He wore earth-yellow armor, his hair was a mess, and a large War Axe was strapped to his back.

The burly man looked Zorn up and down for a moment.

"An Evil Spirit Wizard?"

"Are you the one? The ruthless Evil Spirit Wizard who’s been on a killing spree in the Purple Star Ring District?"

Zorn’s voice was calm as he replied.

"If there isn’t another Evil Spirit Wizard in the area, then I suppose you mean me."

Hearing this, the burly man’s expression darkened, and the unease in his heart grew.

Recently, rumors about the Dual Sequence Evil Spirit Wizard in the Purple Star Ring District had spread like wildfire.

It was said that if he encountered someone from the Immortal Calamity Court, he might show mercy and spare their life.

But if he ran into someone from his own Eternal Curtain Divine Kingdom or the Star Remnant Divine Kingdom, a fight would almost certainly be a death sentence.

The reason the burly man was so concerned about this Evil Spirit Wizard was because the formidable Star Trace Gunman—a man who had defeated him three times—had died a miserable death under this Wizard’s Ancient God Curse.

Rumor had it that this Evil Spirit Wizard hadn’t even unleashed a fully-formed Ancient God Curse yet; he had carved out a fearsome reputation in this region using just a mid-tier version of it.

’If I fight him with my level of strength,’ he thought, ’the outcome is obvious.’

"Do you know who my older brother is?"

Even so, the burly man was unwilling to give up the altar.

"Your older brother?"

Zorn frowned slightly.

"That’s right. This altar is the training ground of my older brother, the Divine Blood Berserker, Baluk," the burly Warrior said with an air of arrogance.

"However, my brother is away in the Starry Sky District right now."

"If anyone dares to touch this place, things will be very different when he gets back."

After a moment of thought, Zorn shook his head.

"This Divine Blood Berserker, Baluk... I’ve never heard of him."

"Regardless, I’m taking this place today."

"If you leave on your own, I’ll let you gather your things. Otherwise... since you’ve heard of the reputation of an Evil Spirit Wizard, you should know the consequences of a fight."

Zorn’s threat made the burly Warrior’s expression flicker between anger and fear.

"I’ll go!"

he said after a moment, his tone crisp.

"But don’t say I didn’t warn you. When my older brother gets back, things will be different."

Zorn, standing silently in midair, simply watched the man, not deigning to reply.

The Spirit Realm battlefield was filled with powerful experts.

There were even quite a few who had mastered Ancient God Curses and Ancient God Secret Techniques.

’This man, Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker... for him to occupy this place, and for his mediocre brother to be able to guard it without anyone daring to attack, he must have some real power.’ Zorn thought.

’While I can’t claim to be invincible at my current stage, even if I were to lose a fight, I’m confident I could escape with my life.’

’Therefore, I have no reason to fear this Baluk, the Divine Blood Berserker.’

Soon, the burly Warrior gathered his belongings and quickly departed.

Zorn glanced at the Transcendents who had been secretly watching from the sidelines before entering the Purple Star Altar himself.

"I can’t believe that Evil Spirit Wizard actually dared to steal territory from Baluk, the Divine Blood Berserker."

"The Evil Spirit Wizard is powerful, no doubt, but he’s also got some serious nerve."

"You have to understand, Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker is a major figure, a real force to be reckoned with in the Starry Sky District."

"If Baluk comes back and finds out his brother was chased off and his training ground was taken over... now that’s a fight I’d love to see."

"Now that you mention it, I’m actually looking forward to a battle between Baluk the Divine Blood Berserker and this terrifying Evil Spirit Wizard."
