David moved silently out of the decayed building. He had regulated his strength to his former peak. While he didn't know how strong he was yet, currently he was only using 20 percent of his strength and this was equivalent to his formal peak strength which meant that he had roughly gained five times his previous strength in a few days. 

David was excited. Just as he reached the edge of the decayed land, he suddenly froze and his expression turned solemn. He swiftly looked up at the sky and he saw that the world seem to rumble, the wind stirred and the world energy seem to be telling him something. 

"Someone has obtained the sacred domain world Orb." David frowned. This was going to make things increasingly difficult for him to perform his task. 

The clouds rumbled as thunder stormed. A large face of a human appeared right above him. David felt a massive pressure weigh down on him as the world aura retrained him. 

David's eyes glinted, but he didn't say anything. The eyes in the cloud gazed at him, then ignored him as it turned to sweep its gaze at the withered land. 

It seems the owner was searching for the cause of that part of the land withering. Hundreds of kilometers of land decaying wasn't something David would ignore either. 

Soon, the pressure faded as the face in the cloud disappeared. The person seems to have not noticed anything. David was only a mortal level brat therefore, the person he had ignored him as a mortal level disciple would not possibly be able to cause such a devastation to occur. But he couldn't be any more wrong.

David sighed in relief. Things would have gotten intense if the person had noticed something wrong. "I need to be fast."

David muttered. He spread his divine sense around and began to scout for his fellow disciples. In no time at all, he noticed a group of nine disciples with four earth realm and five mortal realms hiding inside a very large cave, the entrance was covered by numerous plants and rocks, making it incredibly hard to discover. 

They were probably waiting for the domain to end and for them to go back to their academies with their loots. But who would have thought they would be so unlucky. They had hidden away from the deaths and killings and from trouble but trouble seem to come to find them instead.

"There are only two days left to the end of the sacred domain. I honestly can't wait to get back to the academy."

"You're right. I've seen too many people die already, tired and exhausted from fighting. If I had known, I would have hidden the instant I got my hand in the Golden Rose herb, but instead, it got snatched by Lu Shinen."

"You should be happy you didn't lose your life over it."

"Hmph! He doesn't have the strength to kill me. If we were to fight to the death, we would die together or I will at least severely injure him. With injuries like that, people eying him will certainly come for him like vultures. Lu Shinen didn't dare take the risk." The person snorted as he bragged. It was one of the few earth realm experts within the cave.

Suddenly, one of the earth realm experts amongst them with sharp senses seems to have felt something.

He whipped around towards the cave's entrance in an instant. "Who is there!?"

The others immediately got to the feet and brought out their flying weapons as they gazed at the entrance with tense expressions on their faces.

Clap! Clap! Clap! 

"Who would have thought there would be people who would be hiding here?"

Someone's voice echoed from the cave's entrance as the rock blocking the cave's entrance exploded to smithereens. 

"But then again, I don't blame you guys. I would have hidden if this place was more dangerous."

The person's figure was finally exposed and it turned out to be David. 

"Who are you and what do you want?" One of the mortal realm expert asked hesitantly. 

"Why would you ask him that? Do you want to make friends? Attack and capture him, we will naturally know who he is when we capture him and seize his storage ring." the most powerful of them all of the Earth realm expert roared. 

Immediately, they sent their flying blades towards David. The attacks were numerous and frightening, they could cause mountains to shatter and rivers to flow in reverse. 

But David stood still, spread his hands and widely and smiled. 

"Has he been scared out of his mind?"

"He must have gone insane. Use your full strength." They poured more mental energies into their blades, making the attack more intense. There was even an attack of the early earth grade level used by one of the early earth realm practitioners. 

It could even beat a peak earth realm expert and maybe kill them, that's just how powerful the attack was. 

Rumble!

Massive brain waves and mental energy surged producing powerful and devastating phenomena as the attack slammed into David. 

Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! 

Dust rose up and several rocks were crushed in an instant as the attacks enveloped David. 

"Hmph! Too arrogant for his own good. He should have been reduced to bloody pieces. Dong Liang, go and grab his storage ring."

Ding Liang withdrew his blade and nodded to the captain. He was about to move when suddenly. 

"Hahaha! As expected of the Ancient Godly Strength. It's as overpowered as it claims.

The dust settled and David calmly walked out of the rubbles. There were multiple white marks on his body and a large one on his head, but he wasn't injured in the least. Even his internal organs were barely affected. 

The group's eyes popped wide open as they gazed at David in shock. 

"H-How's that possible?" One of them muttered.

The captain's expression darkened. "We have a powerful one here. Use your trump cards unless we will all perish here."

David smiled and shook his head. "Nah Nah, you've had your fun."

His eyes suddenly glinted as he walked forward.. "Now it's my turn."
