Lin Lei stared into the distance. That was the Melsas Empire, where Princess Diana was located.

Although this was the first time he had met Princess Diana, Diana still gave Lin Lei an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“The ruins of the Belagaroa Empire will open in an hour.”

“Everyone, prepare to enter.”

At this moment, the Umilius Empire, which had always been resting with its eyes closed, opened its cold eyes and said calmly.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a luxurious gown, and his entire body exuded a sense of majesty.

His face was as sharp as a knife, and an ancient feeling filled his entire body.

This middle-aged man was called Kyle Seuss, otherwise known as the fierce Tiger King.

He had already halfway to the Great Sage realm two thousand years ago. As long as he willed it, he could immediately break through and become a great sage.

However, at this moment, for the sake of the historical relics from the Belagaroa Empire, Kyle Seuss forcefully suppressed his realm which was about to break through, which was why he did not break through to the Great Sage realm.

At this moment, in the Molmo Empire, a man wearing a long robe with light golden patterns looked at the surrounding crowd.

This man looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. There was an extremely strange and cold expression on his face.

This man was the Seventh Prince of the Molmo Empire. At such a young age, he was also halfway to the Great Sage realm.

“The Belagaroa Empire is located in the far east of the small pirate nation. Among them, the name of the Master of Ultimate Sword is extremely well-known. I wonder if he has a good reputation but no strength.”

“I haven’t seen this famous fellow today. This fellow killed our empire’s commander Edward and has yet to show himself. I wonder if he is afraid.”

The Kazan Empire and the Molmo Empire were allies. Seeing that the Seventh Prince had said so, an old man from the Kazan Empire hurriedly said.

“That’s right. I’m afraid that when the Master of Ultimate Sword hears about our Molmo Empire’s Seventh Prince personally coming to this small country of pirates, he would be scared out of his wits. Why would he dare to come to the ruins?”

This hunchbacked old man looked to be about 70 to 80 years old. At this moment, he was dressed in loose green clothing.

The old man was originally a handyman within the Kazan Empire. However, one day, he took advantage of the chaos happening within the empire to slip into the Royal Library. The moment he entered the library, the next several hundred years were spent inside.

The old man, who possessed excellent talent, had directly learned a large amount of magic within the library. He immediately became a sage.

Seeing that the old man had secretly taught himself to become a sage, the Kazan Empire couldn’t help but not blame him. In fact, they had even given the old man the status of a noble.

Amongst saints, this was something that everyone knew about.

At this moment, Lin Lei had more or less finished observing the powers of everyone that had come to the ruins of the empire. He dispelled his concealment spell and appeared in front of everyone.

“You…”

“You aren’t looking for me again, are you?”

Lin Lei’s figure appeared in front of everyone.

The imperial ruins were about to open. As long as one had entered, they would have to show themselves and compete fairly with everyone else in terms of power.

In any case, they would have to reveal themselves. Why couldn’t they just openly appear in front of everyone right now?

After Lin Lei appeared, everyone’s gazes turned towards Lin Lei’s direction.

“You are the Master of Ultimate Sword?”

The Seventh Prince of the Molmo Empire frowned as he observed Lin Lei from head to toe. A strange look flickered in his eyes.

“A peak-stage rank nine sage, just one step away from reaching the halfway point towards Great Sage level. With this level of power, you are definitely able to kill Commander Edward. I have to say, you have quite a bit of combat experience.”

“Do you want to consider following our Molmo Empire from now on?”

“Given your power, this prince can promise you that if you follow me out of the Pirates’ Empire, Belagaroa, you will enter the saint-level with us.”

Lin Lei glanced at the Seventh Prince, then said calmly.

“Saint-level?”

“Not interested.”

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince wasn’t angry at all. A hint of pity flashed across his face.

Looking at Lin Lei, he couldn’t help but say this.

“This really is a pity.”

The stooped old man from the Kazan Empire, upon seeing Lin Lei, had a sinister look in his eyes.

It was as though he was planning something.

In the distance, the cat-eared Diana, upon seeing Lin Lei, trembled slightly.

A hint of shock flashed through her large, beautiful eyes.

“This fellow…”

“He actually came to the imperial ruins, and he actually became so powerful…”

“The peak-stage rank nine sage.”

Diana’s eyes flashed back to the time when she had left the solitary confinement room of the Fire Worshipping Sect.

At that time, Lin Lei had only been a peak-stage Grand Magus of the ninth rank.

But in just two years, Lin Lei had completely broken through the shackles of being a sage, and had even risen by a full ten minor levels, reaching the peak of the ninth rank!

“This scoundrel’s training speed really is monstrous.”

Diana sighed in her heart.

Lin Lei’s talent was simply too terrifying.

Even of those in the saint-level, across the five great empires, there was no one who had a more terrifying talent than Lin Lei.

Although Diana really wanted to go up and introduce herself to Lin Lei, after some thought, she eventually gave up on this idea.

The stooped old man next to Diana had noticed that this little princess of the Melsas Empire had an abnormal look on her face. Following Diana’s gaze, he quickly discovered Lin Lei’s existence.

A hint of confusion flashed through the stooped old man’s eyes.

Could it be that the little princess of the Melsas Empire was actually acquainted with the renowned Master of Ultimate Sword of the Belagaroa Empire?

Seeing Lin Lei appear, the distant Bud hurriedly greeted him.

“Kid, you still chose to come to the imperial ruins!”

Lin Lei nodded, then went to the side of the desolate sword sage Bud.

Bud and Lin Lei went directly to the side where the crowd was rather sparse. Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding people, they began to close their eyes and rest. After an hour, the imperial prehistoric ruins would open.

“Kid, you have to be extremely careful, especially after obtaining the imperial prehistoric relic.”

“You have to understand that although the sages of the saint-level from across the five great empires have always been at loggerheads with each other, this is only relative compared to what lies ahead of us.”

“What they look down on even more is that aside from those in the saint-level, there are also other existences like us.”

“In their eyes, we are nothing more than ants, bugs.”

“Most likely, after entering the imperial prehistoric ruins, they will begin to join forces to suppress us.”

Bud, the desolate sword sage, had a serious look on his face as he instructed Lin Lei.
