At the borders of the Sand Country in the Eastern Sand Region...
In a karst cave that was over 500 meters above the ground, a weak light kept on flashing in the darkness.
That weak light was the Fifth Prince's martial will. After being seriously injured by Fang Xingjian, his current powers were not even comparable to that of an ordinary Knight. Moreover, his physical body had been destroyed, and his will kept on dissipating and weakening.
However, in this underground karst cave, streams of gray light emitted waves of resentment, hatred, and agonizing cries as they surged toward the Fifth Prince. They ceaselessly healed the Fifth Prince's injuries and even increased his powers bit by bit.
Seven days and seven nights passed by, and in the blink of an eye, he had once again stepped into the level of a Conferred Knight. Then he continued to recover his powers and reached the Demigod level, continuing to strive toward becoming a Divine level expert.
After all, with the Fifth Prince's realm, as long as the power of his martial will continued to recover, he would naturally be able to grasp the power of a Divine level expert once again.
On the other side of the karst cave, a mysterious lady dressed in palace attire was wearing a veil. She was the Fifth Prince's mother, Lady Velia.
Next to her was a man dressed in white robes and had a crown on his head. His aura was mysterious and distant, just like that of an ancient god. In particular, the man's skin gave off an extremely dry and desolate feeling, just like the desert above his head.
This person was the current ruler of the Sand Country, the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch.
The Sand Country was founded on religion, and the person in power was the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch. The Emperor could change every year, but there would always only be one Patriarch.
This Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch ruled over millions of people and countless countries in the desert. In terms of resources, he even surpassed Alexander a little. He also had the legacy of the Sand Country's founder, the Heavenly Monarch of the Blood Sea. His cultivation was deep and unfathomable, and he had not made a move for over 30 years.
No one knew how powerful this Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch was. It was because he was an existence like a god in the entire desert. No one dared to make a move against him, and there was no need for him to make a move against anyone either.
The Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch said calmly, "This is the relic of a 1,000-year-old ancient battlefield. Over the past 1,000 years, countless experts' martial wills have turned into remnant information and remained here. It's true that the rate of improvement is very fast with the power of these 1,000-year-old dead souls. However, aren't you guys afraid that he'll turn into a lunatic?"
"If he can't even pass this small test, then he won't be fit to be my son," Lady Velia said coldly.
"I won't fail." Just as the two of them were talking, another female voice rang out from behind them. Amidst the green light, Chaos Witch Lamia walked out.
The Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch narrowed his eyes. "Chaos Witch..."
This time around, it was also because of the Chaos Witch that the Princess and the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch had joined forces to help the Fifth Prince recover his powers.
"Chaos Witch, from what I know, the Fifth Prince's fortuitous encounter has always been related to you. Why? Is he the person you've chosen? "the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch asked calmly.
The Chaos Witch Lamia smiled. Her smile revealed endless mysteries. Her figure was like smoke, like an illusion, passing through the walls of the cave. She even passed through the bodies of the Princess and the Pope without the slightest obstruction.
At the sight of this scene, the Princess and the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch became even more solemn. Even though they could only see and hear the Chaos Witch, their martial wills were unable to detect her existence.
Hearing the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch's question, a bell-like laughter rang out from the Chaos Witch's mouth. "He won't sink into a quagmire just like that. Instead, he will rise up again. He might even rise up again after suffering a setback, obtaining even greater achievements than before. This is fate, this is the future. It can't be defied, nor can it be changed."
Hearing the mysterious murmurs coming from the Chaos Witch's mouth, the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch did not say anything. Lady Lamia, who was at the side, said coldly, "That's what you said earlier as well. However, now that he's been crippled by Fang Xingjian and even Alexander is unable to do anything to Fang Xingjian, what should we do?"
"It's true that some variables have appeared on Fang Xingjian," the Chaos Witch said slowly, "But under the guidance of fate, it's meaningless. "In fact, if it wasn't for the evil god ritual, those Mage Kings or Alexander would still be able to suppress Fang Xingjian if they were willing to risk getting injured."
"Then are we just going to let him continue to grow?" There was anger in Princess Lamia's words. "You've seen how fast he is growing. If we let him go, I'm afraid we won't be able to subdue him in the future. By then, it will be too late."
Hearing the conversation between Lamia and the Chaos Witch, the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch did not think much of it. As the ruler of the entire Sand Country, he had long since reached tier five of the Divine level. Having been unrivalled in the Sand Country for several decades, he had developed an extremely arrogant and proud personality. In his opinion, there were probably only one or two people who were stronger than him in the entire world.
Regarding how Alexander and his entire Empire had been turned upside down by a young lad who was not even 20 years old, the Patriarch looked on with the attitude of watching a joke.
As for the many pieces of information stating that Fang Xingjian's sword arts were brilliant and that he was very strong, the Patriarch did not take them to heart. As the ruler of the entire Sand Country, he had been unrivalled for far too long.
In his opinion, it was just that the Mage Kings and Alexander were wary of each other and keeping each other in check. This was why Fang Xingjian had the opportunity to take advantage of. Compared to Alexander and the few Mage Kings, the Patriarch felt that he was not inferior to Fang Xingjian. He should even be a little stronger than Fang Xingjian.
Lady Lamia saw through the Patriarch's thoughts and said calmly, "Your Holiness, you mustn't underestimate Fang Xingjian. This person has the world's top sword arts talent, and his future carries the fate of two worlds. Moreover, his relationship with the Sand Country isn't that good, right?"
The Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch smiled, not thinking much of it. "If Fang Xingjian dares to come to our Sand Country, I won't be as polite as Alexander."
The Lady Lamia frowned, secretly feeling displeased with the Patriarch's arrogance. It was a pity that the Fifth Prince still needed to rely on the Patriarch to recover and strengthen himself. Therefore, she could only keep this in mind.
The Chaos Witch said, "After the Fifth Prince succeeds, I hope that he can hold it in for now. Once the First Prince, Shang, and the Abyss Lord are done with their preparations, he can then take the initiative to take action and suppress Fang Xingjian."
As she spoke, she thought, 'Fang Xingjian will probably still be hard to suppress. However, if these people join forces, they'll be able to weaken him greatly. Otherwise, if Fang Xingjian is too powerful, it won't be beneficial for him to activate the Ring of Time.'
Just then, it was as if a myriad of ghosts were wailing and chilly gales were blowing violently. The entire underground karst cave was filled up by countless wailing souls. The Fifth Prince seemed as if he had just stepped out from the gates of hell, and a dark green light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry..." With each sentence he said, it was as if a myriad of people were shouting, "From today onward, I'll definitely not underestimate Fang Xingjian in the slightest. I won't take action unless I'm completely confident. "Big Brother, Shang, and Uncle Abyss Lord... Unless they're all done with their preparations, I'll only join forces with them to kill Fang Xingjian."
However, just then, the countenance of the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch suddenly changed. Sensing with his Sudden Inspiration, he turned into a stream of fiery light and charged out toward the Fifth Prince.
