"The World Orb."

David's eyes lit up. This was what the two disciples from the institute had been talking about. 

The way to refine the now ownerless world was to refine the Orb, and one would be able to refine the world itself, gaining control over it. 

David didn't hesitate, he formed a had seal and his body shot forwards like an arrow. When he reached the centre of the small world, he was able to see the Orb in its entirety. 

It was as big as a fist and while it was glowing very brightly, he was still able to notice the lines at the body of the Orb. It seems to be an ancient language written around the body.

David exhaled and calmed his mind. His senses were exceptionally sharp, even sharper than previously, but David didn't take notice of this, his mind occupied with the thought of refining the Orb. 

He sat cross-legged before the Orb and then proceeded to extend his mental strength to the Orb. Since it was ownerless, there was barely any resistance but judging from his speed, David guessed that it would take some time for him to successfully refine the Orb. 

But within this Orb, time was all he had. 

* * * * * 

While David was meditating, refining the small world, the sacred domain had turned chaotic.

There was a rumour that someone had managed to find the highest treasure within the domain; the only remaining heaven realm technique in this world.

The disciples were shocked and the whole sacred domain was in mayhem. Disciples were killing each other for clues about the heaven grade technique. 

Because of the recent development, the weaker ones had gone into hiding while the stronger one's remained, battling each other for treasures. 

There was a sudden flash of light, and a door appeared in thin air. A young man in dark clothing came out from within the door of light. 

"Hmph!" The young man staggered, unsteady on his feet as he gazed at the ground. 

"Shouldn't I have gotten used to it already?" The young man complained, holding back his urge to puke. 

The young man was David. When he recovered, he then gazed around and noticed three young men surrounding a young lady, trapping her in a tight formation. 

From the tense atmosphere, they seem to have been battling intensely with the lady with sweat dripping off from their forehead, while the lady was calm, she didn't seem to be tired in the slightest. 

But they had stopped fighting the moment David teleported right before them. 

David blinked his eyes at them, and they blinked their eyes back at him. 

He then stood up and breathed lightly. "You guys continue what you were doing, I promise not to interfere."

David was about to leave when one of the young men suddenly shouted. 

"Brother, please assist us with defending against this lady, she wants to kill us!" 

David blinked his eyes. He could tell the young man was been sincere. But David quickly shook his head, he wasn't going to interfere with what doesn't concern him. 

"You all are in the earth realm while I'm a measly mortal realm expert, what help could I possible render to you." David said innocently, he gazed at the young lady who was gazing at him with curiosity in her eyes. 

Shrugging, he turned to leave. The men didn't try to stop him and they watched him leave. 

But suddenly, one of them reached out with intense speed. "If you can't assist us, we will make you useful instead. Become our shield instead." The second male disciple reached out towards David and grabbed him by the shoulder, his face twisted in desperation. The others didn't try to stop him as they knew that this was the only way to survive from the devil lady's attack. 

Whoosh! 

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a sword cut through the air only to return in David's hands. 

David quietly put the sword back into his robes and he turned to leave. 

The man who had reached out towards David was confused, he could feel his world rolling. "Eh? Isn't that my body? Why can I see my own body?" The light in his eyes dimmed as he realised, his head had been sliced off clean from his neck. 

The other two young men were shocked! A mortal realm killing an early earth realm expert in a single strike although not unheard of, it was a rare occurrence. 

The young lady's eyes lit up as though she had just found gold. Her finger flickered and an unseen black line appeared in the air as it passed through the bodies of the two stunned young men.

Without warning, there were diced into 99 perfect squares! The first not larger than the last. 

David's eyes narrowed. After consuming the soul of the old man, he had been able to see everything within a kilometre radius with absolute clarity, which was how he had seen the world Orb despite being a kilometre away. He had called this ability Divine Sense. 

This was how he also saw the lady killing the two young men in just a single flick of her hand. 

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. An invisible thread of line appeared and passed through him like nothingness. 

David's figure then disappeared, turning into fumes of mental energy and brainwave. 

The young lady's eyes brightened as she saw this. She snapped her head upwards and saw David staring at her coldly. 

"What's the meaning of this?" The lady blinked her eyes innocently. David's eyes furrowed. The innocence in her eyes was very clear, but she had just killed two people with that innocence, which made David even more wary of her. 

Even after his question, she didn't reply to him and only gazed at him. 

"Hmph!" David snorted, the tree shook as he dashed away in the blink of an eye. He didn't have it in his heart to kill the girl since she didn't release any killing Intent when she attacked. 

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and his mind was shaken.. He could see a figure with his divine sense just five hundred meters from him, waiting for him in anticipation. It was the young lady!
