Mike did not waste any more words. He waited for the mysterious expert to finish constructing his defense before the Divine Dragon origin energy flew toward the mysterious expert. The mysterious expert’s eyes were filled with excitement before they were completely submerged by the Dragon Flash.

The black and white pillars of light instantly destroyed 90% of the mysterious expert’s defense. Then, under the terrifying gaze of the mysterious expert, they gradually began to break down the mysterious expert’s remaining defense.

Boom! The remaining power of the pillar of light poured directly onto the ground. Contrary to Mike’s expectations, the energy did not cause any damage to the ground. Instead, it turned back into divine power and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The mysterious expert fell heavily to the ground. His entire body was covered in blood, and his life force was rapidly declining. When he saw this scene, he took out a bottle of medicine from Mike’s interspatial ring, pulled out the stopper, and drank it.

After Mike clearly saw the potion in the mysterious expert’s hand, he cried out in surprise, “Revival potion!!”

The mysterious expert looked at Mike in surprise and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable.”

Mike sighed and said to the mysterious expert, “You really are wasting God’s gift. This potion is not drunk in this way.”

The mysterious expert smiled and said, “Then how do you drink it? Bow down before drinking it? Stop fooling around. This is just a bottle of potion. Why do you take it so seriously?”

“Sigh, you…” Mike was speechless. He decided to change the topic. He asked the mysterious expert, “I don’t know if what you said just now is true?”

The mysterious expert laughed. “Of course it’s true. I’ll tell you the real secret of this thing right now.”

Mike looked at the mysterious expert and felt somewhat excited.

The mysterious expert said, “Since you’ve obtained this plane’s supreme treasure, you must have formed an irreconcilable conflict with the Ruler of the Otherworld. I reckon that the next time the two of you meet, either he will kill you or you will kill him.”

Mike nodded and said solemnly, “You know too much…”

The mysterious expert asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Mike shook his head.

The mysterious expert said, “I should be the Ruler of the Otherworld!”

“What?” Mike was really shocked when he heard this. He did not even notice that he lost his composure.

The mysterious powerhouse nodded and said to Mike,

“My name is Maria. The Ruler of the Otherworld is my relative. I am the eldest son. My talent is better than the Ruler.”

The mysterious powerhouse sensed Mike’s suspicious gaze and smiled. “If I use Maria’s method, my achievements will definitely be higher than his.”

Mike remained expressionless as if he was a piece of wood.

Maria sighed and said, “In order to advance to the divine-tier and above, Maria actually chose to sacrifice my father and my brothers and sisters alive. If I hadn’t escaped quickly, I’m afraid that you wouldn’t have been able to see me.”

Hearing this, great waves surged in Mike’s heart. He pretended to be calm and asked, “How do I know if what you said is true?”

The mysterious powerhouse shook his head and sighed. He said to Mike, “Is what I said true? I will take you to verify it now!”

The mysterious powerhouse waved his hand, and Mike followed him into a virtual space.

“Where is this?”

“The Otherworld, the Imperial Palace Mausoleum.”

Mike looked at the mysterious expert in surprise and asked carefully, “What do you want? Don’t tell me you want me to dig a grave with you?”

The mysterious expert did not say anything, but quietly brought Mike into a large tomb.

“Look, there are a total of 75 coffins here. The golden one is my father.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious expert waved his hand and removed the lid of all the coffins.

“Take a look. You’ll believe me after you’re done.”

Mike walked forward and looked at each and every one of them. He was surprised to find that these people had all been sucked dry of their blood and Qi and turned into dried corpses. The way they died was exactly the same as what the mysterious expert had said, these people were all sacrificed to death!

“I have a question!” Mike looked at the mysterious expert and asked, “Since the Ruler wants to kill you, how did you escape?”

The mysterious powerhouse said, “She failed to break through. Before she broke through to the next stage, she could not leave the Otherworld. To be precise, she could not leave the imperial palace.”

“No, she can leave the imperial palace.”

Mike told Maria about how the Ruler was looking for him.

Maria frowned and said, “Her strength has actually grown so much over these years. She was actually able to resist the backlash in a short period of time. If I don’t get rid of her, my divine power will not be human.”

Mike looked at Maria and sighed. “Then why did you snatch my dragon head?”

“Are you talking about the treasure of the plane? Sigh, let me tell you a secret.”

Mike said to Maria, “I hope you didn’t trick me…”

Maria shook her head and said to Mike, “The dragon head is the only way to break through to the next level in the plane. If you don’t get the treasure of the plane, you can only go to the Middle Sky Pivot Point.”

Mike asked, “Then why didn’t you go to the Middle Sky Pivot Point to recover before coming back to take revenge on him?”

Maria looked at Mike in surprise and asked, “Brother, this is common sense. If you break through in the outer realm, unless you are the lord of this realm, you can only leave and not enter. It will be difficult for you to return to the High-level Summoning Realm if you did that.”

Mike’s expression was serious. Suddenly, he heard Maria say, “This is only one of the reasons. Although Maria failed to make a breakthrough, his strength is also infinitely close to the next stage. How can an outer realm expert whose strength has been suppressed by a few times be able to defeat him?”

Mike nodded. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “This Maria can’t leave the Otherworld, and he can’t make any progress in his recovery. Doesn’t that mean that his threat to us is much smaller?”

Maria shook her head. You’re underestimating the imperial palace too much. How can the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the imperial palace be described with words? And Maria holds these treasures. With all these miscellaneous things added together, how can she not surpass the experts on the next level?”

Mike nodded. He also felt that what the mysterious expert said made sense.

Mike looked at the mysterious expert and asked, “Then do you know what the probability of using the dragon head to break through to the next level is?”

Maria thought for a moment and said with an extremely certain tone, “I don’t know. It’s probably around 30%?”

When Mike heard this probability, he gasped in shock.

30%? No wonder Maria was so crazy. One had to know that the probability of breaking through from the heaven-tier to the divine-tier was less than 1%, and through the dragon head, the probability of breaking through from divine-tier to the next stage increased to 30%!

Mike was shocked. He looked at Maria and asked, “Do you know that the Otherworld is almost conquered by the Dark Magi?”

“Dark Magi?” Maria was stunned for a moment and asked, “Is it that organization that hides like a mouse?”

Mike nodded and said to Maria, “Don’t underestimate this organization. Their ability to infiltrate other organizations is extraordinary. My men has gone through countless checks, but there are still Dark Magi.”
