Chapter 639 - This Is The End

"Father," The father of the Emperor of the Qilin Empire turned to one of the twins.

"It's alright. He can't take on all of us, and his trick is only effective in a small area, if he dared to expand it, then the force would be greatly reduced. However, if he were in the presence of Overlord Plane Elementalists, then no matter how he expands it, they wouldn't be able to overcome it," One of the twins said.

After hearing his explanation, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Grey was closely listening to their conversation, so after hearing the explanation of the technique the man used, he couldn't help but contemplate it.

This was a mysterious yet powerful technique when battling against multiple opponents, so he wouldn't mind learning it. If he had this and his inscriptions, he would be a terror to fight against.

He focused his entire being on the area surrounding the Principal. This was an opportunity for him to learn, so he naturally wouldn't waste it.

If his friends or even the people around find out that he was actually practicing given his current situation, they would be flabbergasted. How could someone who might die in a few moments have the guts to even try to comprehend a new technique?

Oliver looked at the old man defiantly.

"Your valiant effort is much appreciated, but it ends here," The old man said calmly while stretching out his hands.

Earth particles started to form around Oliver, and before long, they attached themselves to him. He soon looked like a statue made of rock.

The old man looked at his work proudly before giving a nod.

"The pest has been taken care of, we should get…" He paused mid-sentence.

He turned to look at the rock statue before muttering nonchalantly, "Oh, how resilient,"

He made a few hand seals, and the lightning currents that were running rampantly across the rocks were instantly suppressed, even the aura of Oliver was reduced to the bare minimum. If one didn't study it properly, then they would think this was an actual rock statue.

Klaus struggled to go over to where his father was, but the old man who stopped his father glanced at him. A simple glance and Klaus' entire body slammed into the ground, his bones even started cracking under the pressure of the gravitational force.

But his eyes were bloodshot, he could tell that if no one broke the rock statue, then his father would die within a short period of time. Unfortunately, he couldn't take a step, even if he wanted to.

Alice and Reynolds stared at him, tears welling up in their eyes as well. They couldn't do anything, even if they wanted to.

The people holding onto them didn't even give them the chance Klaus had. Grey on the other hand was tightly held, and unlike the others, he could feel the true nature of what the old man did since his entire focus was on that area. At the moment, every single blood cell of the Principal was slowly solidifying, turning into a rock as well. If things went on, the internal organs of the Principal would turn to rock, and the same would happen to the outer body of the Principal.

In an hour or so, the Principal wouldn't be covered with rocks, he would be the rock itself, dead through and through.

"We'll be leaving now," The Emperor of the Azure Empire said before turning around.

The other Emperors did the same, except for those from the Qilin Empire, this was their empire, so there was no need to hurry.

However, just as the groups were about to take flight.

Bang!

The rocks surrounding Oliver shattered, sending bits of rocks in all directions.

The old man from the Azure Empire raised a brow, looking at the location Oliver was standing with a slightly different expression.

'There's no way he could break it. This is definitely the work of someone else,' He thought to himself.

When he looked at the spot, he saw lightning dancing across the body of Oliver.

"I said, leave the kids and go," Oliver said, but this time, his voice was relatively lower.

Everyone could tell that he had difficulty speaking. Even standing seemed to be an issue for him.

"Impressive, now I want to kill you all the more," The old man's eyes closed to a slit, and intense killing intent spread out.

If he didn't make sure Oliver died, he wouldn't be settled.

The six black cloaked figures exchanged glances, a strange glint flashing in their eyes. To them, this was a great opportunity to acquire a powerhouse. They've already seen Oliver's strength and knew he was above some people, if they could cultivate his body after his death, then there's a chance they could increase his strength.

The old man stretched out his hand once again, and this time, Oliver couldn't withstand the pressure of the gravitational force and slammed into the ground. His bones shattered from the force, and blood started coming out from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

He didn't have the strength to defend himself against the pressure any longer. Breaking out of the rock took everything he got, but he still didn't want to give up. He promised Klaus' mother that he would protect him, and even if it cost him his life, then he would do it.

Gritting his teeth, he struggled to get up. But he found out that he couldn't, it was only now that he realized that the bones on his legs were shattered. Even if he doesn't die from this, it would take years for him to recover from this injury.

He raised his head, and his eyes darted towards Klaus, his stubborn yet playful son. Warmth appeared in his eyes, and he even forced out a smile to him.

Klaus was already in tears when he saw this, he knew this was his father preparing to use his last resort, burning his life essence.

Powerful energy soon erupted from Oliver's body, but the gravitational force didn't disappear, instead, it increased by two folds.

'This is the end.'

This was the only sentence reverberating in everyone's head.

At the moment everyone thought it was over, the energy that erupted from Oliver's body was retracted, and a figure covered in white light appeared close to him.

"It has gotten to this stage," The figure said calmly.
