Chapter 273: Chapter270-Crushing All Opposition, the Fury of Middle Earth
“I heard that Leslie from the Azure Kingdom is preparing a national wedding. Perhaps that’s the reason.”
“Yet, with the suppression of the Bronze Gate weakening and the fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao becoming increasingly intense, many Middle Earth forces are eyeing Leslie covetously. And she’s preparing a wedding? Is she being too audacious?”
“I don’t know what she’s thinking. Maybe she plans to become a couple on the run with Owen.”
“But now that Owen’s whereabouts are spreading, a lot of Middle Earth factions will definitely make a move against him.”
Countless forces across Middle Earth were discussing and closely following this matter.
Meanwhile, many of Middle Earth’s prodigies also turned their sights on Owen. Previously, Owen’s venture into Middle Earth had caused a huge stir, but he had come and gone so quickly that they had no opportunity to cross swords with him. Now, they finally had the chance.
“Extra! Extra!”
“Elliot, the Holy Son of the Truth Church and a sage-tier mage, personally entered the Demon Realm to challenge Owen!”
“Breaking news: Elliot was defeated in a single move and had to flee using a secret technique.”
“The prodigy of the Moon God Sect, the Great Moon God, challenged John, only to be sent flying by a single slap from Owen!”
“Prodigies from the Thousand Autumn Mountain were utterly defeated…”
Countless reports about Owen spread rapidly across Middle Earth.
Numerous prodigies, who had been the pride and hope of various factions, were all utterly defeated by Owen, most of them being crushed in a single move.
As the prodigies continued to be humiliated, Owen’s prestige soared to unprecedented heights.
After all, these prodigies were well-known figures in Middle Earth, hailed as supreme geniuses by countless people. Yet, the ones they revered now found themselves gazing up at another genius whose silhouette was already far beyond their reach.
At this moment, whether it was those in Middle Earth Academy City or the continent’s Academy City, they were all abuzz, almost in a frenzy over Owen’s every move.
For Middle Earth Academy City, Owen’s emergence shattered all past records! A person like him would undoubtedly make this era dazzlingly brilliant.
As for the continent’s Academy City, the excitement was palpable. Owen hailed from the continent, and they had established good relations with him in the past. With this connection, the continent’s Academy City not only gained a stronger voice on the continent, but its influence in Middle Earth Academy City was also on the rise.
“Edward, you’ll be fully in charge of handling Mr. Owen’s affairs. Middle Earth Academy City will also send some top-tier scholars and professors. You’ll be the one leading the team!”
“Do everything possible to strengthen ties with Mr. Owen. If necessary, even the neutral stance of our continent’s Academy City can be changed for his sake!”
Lifetime Professor Alan looked solemnly at Edward, on whom he placed high expectations, speaking earnestly.
He understood well that compared to Owen, everything else could be put aside. Other forces on the continent didn’t even warrant attention!
Edward also grasped the situation. Though Owen was currently the target of many forces, it was precisely at such a critical moment that if Academy City could lend a hand, that gesture would be invaluable. Only by doing so could they truly earn Owen’s friendship!
Thinking back to when they first noticed Owen, and now seeing him become a figure of immense significance across realms, the continent’s Academy City had benefited immensely, reaping untold rewards.
Now it was time to return the favor!
On the other side, as the continent’s Academy City publicly championed Owen and promoted his achievements, the factions behind the defeated prodigies could no longer sit still.
Voices condemning Owen spread like wildfire across Middle Earth and the continent. Some factions even began offering bounties, preparing to take action against him.
However, amidst the overwhelming outcry, the dragon race, the bone dragon race, and the Fallen Angel race all stood firmly by Owen’s side.
“Anyone daring to harm Mr. Owen is our enemy!”
“Mr. Owen is an unprecedented prodigy. Only with his rise can the realm have a true leader!”
The dragon race, the bone dragon race, and the Fallen Angel race were all infamous and fearsome. Their declarations instantly swayed some of the suppressive voices against Owen.
But Owen had made too many enemies. The major forces of Middle Earth were not deterred by the three races. Instead, they began rallying their strongest fighters, preparing to burst through the Bronze Gate and strike directly at Owen’s stronghold!
…
While Middle Earth was descending into chaos, back on the continent:
The Kyrik Empire’s princess, accompanied by three great ghost generals, gathered an army, ready to annihilate the Azure Kingdom.
This time, Kyrik had mobilized its entire nation’s strength, alarming every kingdom on the continent. Countless kingdoms felt that an unprecedented cataclysm was imminent.
Many began reaching out to Kyrik or leveraging their connections to form a coalition army to destroy the Azure Kingdom, hoping to claim a share of the spoils in this upheaval.
But the Cloud Empire, where Davis resided, immediately rallied its forces to defend the Azure Kingdom at all costs as soon as Kyrik mobilized its armies.
Many other kingdoms believed that Owen wouldn’t be able to withstand this storm from Middle Earth. However, Davis, the Cloud Empire’s emperor, and the high-ranking officials placed great hope in Owen.
They decided to stand with Owen!
As more and more powers from both Middle Earth and the continent were drawn into this tempest, nearly every force and mage was abuzz with discussions about the matter.
A sense of an impending storm loomed over everyone.
…
“Leslie, Kyrik has gathered its entire national strength, and many Middle Earth forces are ready to cross the Bronze Gate. The situation is growing increasingly dire.”
Duke Charles furrowed his brows in deep worry, unable to shake off the ominous feeling.
However, Leslie remained calm, as if she hadn’t heard Duke Charles’s complaints.
“Leslie, their forces are truly terrifying. I’ve heard that even God Kings and God Emperors will be present. Why don’t you leave with your people first?”
Duke Charles had never encountered a God King-tier mage personally, but he knew that such beings could shake the heavens and devastate a city with a mere thought! As for a God Emperor, he couldn’t even fathom their power.
Before mages of such caliber, they were merely ants.
He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he didn’t want Leslie or Owen, both with unparalleled potential, to perish.
“Charlotte, how are the wedding preparations coming along?” Leslie turned to Charlotte beside her, her aura growing increasingly ethereal, exuding a kind of primordial purity.
Facing Leslie, who was becoming ever more unfathomable, Charlotte didn’t even have the courage to meet her gaze, only feeling that Leslie was now so unfamiliar and cold.
Only when mentioning Owen did Leslie seem to show a trace of human emotion.
“Miss, everything is ready. We’re just waiting for Mr. Owen to enter the city.”
Charlotte replied softly.
Knowing how seriously the young lady took this matter, she had instructed everyone to put aside all other tasks, ensuring this was flawlessly arranged and thoroughly checked.
“Very well, then. There’s only one day left. Owen should be back soon.”
Leslie gazed calmly at the distant sky.
Charlotte nodded and was about to turn and leave when she hesitated, as if receiving some news. After a moment’s pause, she spoke up.
“Miss, Mary requests an audience!”
“Oh?”
Leslie raised an eyebrow slightly.
As a former princess of the Azure Kingdom, Mary had been something of a legendary figure. Moreover, she’d once had feelings for Owen.
Now, of all times, what did she want with Leslie?
“I’ll have her turned away.”
Seeing Leslie’s silence, Charlotte offered gently.
“Wait. Since she’s come all this way, let’s meet her.”
Leslie had an uneasy premonition. Perhaps it would be better to see her in person.
…
“Owen’s power is growing too quickly. Many prodigies have fallen to him. This cannot continue!”
“The Bronze Gate is open, and the restrictions are gone due to the Heavenly Dao’s changes. Why don’t we give Owen a wedding he’ll never forget?”
“I like that idea. Owen is too ruthless. With the Godslayer Staff and the Supreme Order in his hands, the sooner we eliminate him, the better. It’ll also serve as a warning to others!”
The Sacred Pool, the Temple of the Fire God, and the Truth Church, the top factions of Middle Earth, all reached a peak of murderous intent towards Owen. It was a do-or-die situation!
Owen was too monstrous. He had to be eradicated.
“Owen has allied with the Archdemon. Will that big figure intervene?”
An old Pope from the Truth Church spoke up.
To them, Owen and Leslie were no threat. Only the Archdemon remained an unknown variable.
