Chapter 3693 Confiscated


    "You are…"


    Isabe narrowed her eyes, wanting to say it but not confirm it, as Davis had also told them not to casually speak her title. However, seeing that she was the only one here, she continued.


    "World Master…?"


    "…"


    The female silhouette didn''t respond.Shestared at Isabe with her vacant eyes without any movementwhatsoever, leaving Isabe feeling a bit creeped out as she started to think this wasn''t the World Master but perhaps some outsider who intruded.


    "I''m afraidthat Imay have to confiscate these rewards from you."


    "…?" Isabe finally heard the silhouette''svoice,serene and melodious, but she inclined her head in doubt.


    What''s the problem? Why were her rewards getting taken away?


    "Why?"


    Isabe stood straight and protested with her chin upright. If she earned it, she wouldn''t stand it for being taken away without a good reason. However, she also knew she couldn''t do anything about it if the World Master wanted to take them away, so her heart sank.


    "Because realms usually contain the blessing of the heavens, and my realms contain my blessing or, in other words, my karmic burden. It is fine if only you won, but if too many of you won and the collective karmic burden gathers in your multitude of karmic bonds, which is your family, it would harm you all."


    "…"


    Isabe was solemn, but her eyes shot wide before a big, unconcealed smile appeared on her lips, "Which is to say— my Evelynn and Shirley also won the trials of the various Hidden Pagodas."


    "…"


    The World Master didn''t respond, but Isabe felt that she was right.


    "I understand World Master''s karmic burden is frightening, and hence this whole setup of aboriginalizing the Candidates to your world taking millions of years and having them inherit your legacy no matter what it may be, but still…"


    Isabe didn''t give up, "We aren''t afraid of karmic burden."


    "These rewards were unounted and unnned for. Mixing them into the Candidacy was my idea at this juncture, so I wouldn''t know what it would spell out for the winners of the Hidden Pagodas."


    The World Master''s voice was still serene, as though she wasn''t frustrated at all, like a good, experienced teacher.


    Isabe cupped her hands, "Then watch us outperform your expectations or die trying~ We don''t want to be taken apart one by one, but we aren''t afraid of losing together."


    "…"


    The World Master went silent.It was possible that shemayhave been taken aback.


    "I saw you sacrifice your father-inw, thinking you were a bit cowardly, but watching your performance so far,it seems likeI may have been mistaken."


    "Ah, no, that was indeed a cowardly move.After all, I don''t want to die first orbring humiliation tomy family and dampen his path~"Isabe grinned with an innocent smile, "However, he told me I made the right judgment, which relieved me of my guilt."


    "I couldn''t rte. To me, my father and mother- they-"


    The World Master suddenly stopped, shaking her head, "One would think you''re all expendable since there''s so many of you. Regardless, if you think you can handle the consequences, then I won''t interfere."


    "Ah~" Isabe cupped her hands more firmly and bowed her head, "Thank you for being considerate of us, World Master."


    "No need to thank me. You earned it and got to keep it. Truthfully, I was also impressed by yournewbreakthrough inprehending a Low-Tier Supreme Law, Rumbling Laws. This ability would beimmensely helpfulin detecting spatial nodes leading to the lower and upperyers— only, it''sunknown if you could advance further in it."


    "I certainly hope to improve."


    "Right, if you do so, then eventually reaching the insights of chaotic energy isn''t out of the question."


    "…!?"


    "Your body is already familiar with it.Perhaps it wasthe reason for your quick improvement inbining EarthLawsand Space Laws in addition tobining Yin Laws."


    "Wait, you said something about chaotic energy-"


    Isabe asked, but the World Master was already gone. Her face was red because the World Master just insinuated that her body carried his chaotic-life yang essence, which was embarrassing for herbecauseit was true. She was stillcarryingthe energy refined from him.


    Still, she couldn''t understand.


    How is chaotic energy,Chaos Laws isrted to Space Lawsand EarthLaws or even Rumbling Laws for that matter?The way she heard about it, chaotic energy began forming at the beginning of the universe, so finding the smallest sources ofthemwas incredibly difficult.


    She didn''t know if it was somekind ofoffshoot or if it could be traced back to the source if thatiswhat World Master meant.


    Before she could ponder more on it, spaceonceagain shifted in front of her.


    Instantly, she felt the change in the atmosphere asshe felta bunch of cultivatorsappeararound her.


    "Die!"


    Girias and Harmon attacked Isabe at the same time. Dark blue lightning shot towards Isabe, and a terrifying soul force attack that could copse her soul sea wason its way. Their expressions were furious, and their eyes burned with intensity, making it clear that they had burned their soul essence at the very least.


    There was enough distance between them, but unluckily, merose and Frostrose were much further away from Isabe, causing her heart to leap. However, she was ready to gamble.


    She patted her abdomen, whipping out her Defensive Talisman from her inner world and activating it.


    *Bang!~*


    Isabe was instantly covered innot onlythe dark blue lightning arc and a bloody talon filled with a terrifying soul attack trying to sear through the barrier that appearedbut alsosome other attacks.A few other inheritors seemed to have ganged up on herfor the sake of eliminatingher because they knew her potential orbecause they knewshe had the rewards for the Fourth Hidden Pagoda.


    *Pui!~*


    Isabe spat a mouthful of blood from the plethora of attacks falling against her. The barrier held against the attacks, but itwasn''t able tofullycancel out the impact, sending her crashing towards the ground.


    A sphere was carved into the ground as a dozenofattacks fell on her. They attackedin such a waythat she wouldn''t use the momentum to fly away, wanting to get rid of her right now. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    However-


    *Cling!~*


    The sound of a wisp exploding and forming into a giant mountain of crystals could be heard.


    merose and Frostrose''s pupils dted. The moment they saw Isabe taking out a Defensive Talisman, their actions switched from defending to attacking. The fire and icy mes they gathered abruptly fused to form crimson-blue wisps, which theyunched at Girias and the others.


    The icefire wisp was dense,capable of immense destructionso whenit exploded, it unleashed a terrifying coldness and hotness, crystallizing the space and all the things caught in it.


    "Foolish!"


    Naturally, Girias and Harmon expected this kind of retaliation.


    They didn''tunch an attack at Isabe but took out theirownDefensive Talismans and activated them, causing a faint light sphere to appear around them and guard them against the terrifying crystal wisps.


    However, a few inheritors hadn''t anticipated it and got caught in its wake.


    Its terrifying prowessleft them all killed, dropping them out of the Candidacy-no, killing thempletely.


    "mie!"


    "On it!"


    merose abruptly transformed into her magical beast form, bing ahugeFire Phoenix blotting the clouds as she hovered over them. Her wingspan was more than a hundred and fifty meters long, allowing her to quickly swing one wing wrapped in nirvanic mes and send all those who attacked Isabe to the distance.


    It was like she pped them from the mountain peak.


    She aimed it right towards the Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Crystal Beast Dragon, who was standing atop the crystal mountain, causing Girias and the others to be shocked. The barrier sure did allow them to survive any attack, but it didn''t stop them from being thrown around.


    "No!"
