Chapter 489: 489: Perfection in Realm_1
Standing in this empty warehouse, Ethan Smith was amazed to find that the surrounding spiritual energy had almost disappeared.
In other words, the spiritual energy in the entire warehouse had been nearly absorbed by Ethan Smith.
He gently clenched his fist, feeling the surging power from all parts of his body, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
“Is this... the power of a half-step Martial Marquis?” Ethan Smith muttered softly.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this power was at least dozens of times stronger than before!
“That’s not right.”
But soon, Ethan Smith noticed something was wrong.
Although his strength had increased tremendously, he didn’t seem to have reached the edge of the Martial Marquis realm.
Although the half-step Martial Marquis realm isn’t a clearly defined realm, one should be able to sense the power of a true Martial Marquis and transcend the Grandmaster realm.
However, Ethan Smith still felt like he was within the Grandmaster realm.
On the contrary, he couldn’t sense the Martial Marquis realm at all.
“Could it be... that I’m still in the Grandmaster realm?” Ethan Smith frowned.
“But my strength has indeed increased by dozens or even a hundred times.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.
At that moment, it seemed Ethan Smith thought of something.
His pupils shrank as he muttered, “Could it be... the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm?”
The possibility of achieving this realm was extremely low, with a probability of less than 0.001%.
But there were rumors that those who reached the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm at the peak of their cultivation were considered extremely talented.
Although their future cultivation would be filled with challenges, once they achieved greatness, they would be unmatched in the world.
To break through the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm, one needed a certain opportunity.
For example, a specific Pill or a miraculous encounter.
“The Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm...” Ethan Smith muttered softly.
There seemed to be a thin line separating him from the half-step Martial Marquis realm.
But Ethan Smith could feel the exhilarating and formidable power within his body!
This power was definitely not weaker than an ordinary half-step Martial Marquis, and was even much stronger!
“The Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm is enough.” Ethan Smith said coldly.
With his current strength, if he encountered someone like Dudley Lynch again, Ethan Smith was fully confident that he could take his life within three breaths!
At this moment, Ethan Smith didn’t know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
As a Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster, Ethan Smith’s power surpassed that of the half-step Martial Marquis realm.
So, how powerful would he be once he truly entered the half-step Martial Marquis realm?
Unimaginable!
Staying in this warehouse, Ethan Smith had no sense of the passage of time.
The First Elder reached out his palm and grabbed the Second Elder in his hand.
“Since I am the new Pavilion Master, not obeying me is a betrayal of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion!” said the First Elder coldly.
“I have no tolerance for traitors!”
With that, the First Elder grabbed the Second Elder’s wrist and viciously exerted force!
“Pfft!”
The immense strength crushed the Second Elder’s hand to pieces!
Amidst the blood and shattered bones, the First Elder stood tall.
A cry of agony echoed through the square for a long time!
“This is the outcome! If you still don’t come to your senses, I will continue to enforce the rules!” said the First Elder coldly.
Down below, the crowd’s faces were ugly, and no one spoke.
Although they hated the First Elder deeply, they had no choice.
The First Elder snorted coldly, “Meeting dismissed!”
After the First Elder left, everyone hurried over to the Second Elder.
“Second Elder, are you okay... ”
“Quick, make medicine for the Second Elder to stop the bleeding!”
The Second Elder clenched his teeth and waved his hand.
He whispered, “Tomorrow morning, Ethan Smith will come out of seclusion... After he comes out, he will definitely not let the First Elder go...”
Upon hearing this, everyone unwittingly looked in the direction of the warehouse.
“Take me to the warehouse door. I want to see Ethan Smith come out with my own eyes...” The Second Elder said with difficulty.
Without saying anything more, the crowd helped the Second Elder to the warehouse door.
At night.
The Second Elder sat alone at the warehouse door.
“Second Elder, how are you.”
At this moment, the Fifth Elder walked over.
Seeing the Fifth Elder, the Second Elder snorted coldly, “Instead of going to please the new Pavilion Master and securing your position, what are you doing here?”
The Fifth Elder smiled bitterly, “Second Elder, you misunderstand me. I want nothing more than to tear him apart! The reason I did this is just to save the lives of the many alchemists...”
“If the alchemists were to leave, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion... would truly be disbanded.”
The Second Elder’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said with some suspicion, “Are your words true?”
“Absolutely true! Heaven and earth are my witnesses!” The Fifth Elder replied with a bitter smile.
As the Second Elder was about to speak, there was a sudden noise from the warehouse door.
Then, the Forbidden Power on the door disappeared, and the door slowly opened.
“Hm? It opened early?” The Second Elder was taken aback and then overjoyed!
