Chapter 168: Rexton Doomdon

David ignored every single one of them and continued to move deeper into Blood Moon forest. After the recent incident, the forest was filled with all sorts of people.

But after moving for some time, he finally found a secluded valley that looked perfect for undergoing Heavenly tribulation. Your next read is at m v|l-e'-NovelFire.net

Filled with multicolored vegetation, the valley had a calming effect on his mind.

David took a deep breath and looked towards the sky with a little bit of anticipation, eagerly waiting for his heavenly tribulation to arrive.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the sound of thunder resounded in the surroundings.

A few cultivators that were still roaming around the valley's vicinity panicked by the sudden change and hurriedly fled.

Not just them, even the monsters that were roaming here and there were also frightened by the dreadful atmosphere.

David tried to remain calm; suddenly his eyes flashed with seriousness.

A terrible breath seemed to have enveloped the whole valley.

He scanned the valley and quickly found a strange figure moving in his direction at slow speed, as if it was sure of the fact that David wouldn't try to escape.

This was all true; David couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

In a few moments, a colossal giant appeared in David's sight, each step causing the small valley to vibrate as if it was struck by a small earthquake.

The giant's body seemed to be made out of red diamond as it majestically shone under the sun. It suddenly stopped and raised its hand in a strange fashion.

David immediately unleashed his Divine Domain; he had very weird feelings about the giant's actions. No matter what, he couldn't let the giant complete its actions.

His Divine sense moved like a tsunami toward the glowing giant in an extremely dominating fashion, an almost invisible wave that seemed to change the wind direction passed through the valley.

The trees that seemed to be thousands of years old swayed side to side.

In just a blink of an eye, his Divine senses completely enveloped the flaming giant.

The giant seemed to have been unable to react, and its body seemed to have been frozen in shock.

It appeared the spiritual space of the giant was extremely weak.

Seeing this scene, a crooked smile appeared at the corner of David's lips.

"Dang! This thing didn't even last for a single second." David muttered while trying to move away from the flaming crystals that had fallen in front of him.

The peaceful and ambient valley had been completely ruined by the explosion; the smell of burnt wood filled with moisture filled the surroundings.

Although the colossal giant had incredible physical strength, its spiritual space was incredibly weak. When David attacked it using his divine sense, the giant exploded.

David didn't expect the tribulation to pose no threat to him at all.

It's not like he didn't like how things turned out to be.

Better move out of this place fast as the explosion was bound to attract attention.

Blink!

Just as he thought, David immediately blinked out of existence, appearing hundreds of meters away from his original position. However, before his body could materialize completely, he blinked again.

In a single breath of time, he blinked tens of times, covering a large distance almost instantaneously.

After the transformation of his Crystallization of Life, the range of blink had increased, allowing him to cover hundred meters in a single blink.

And as to why he had blinked instead of just flying away, the reason for that was simple: with a blink, he could move without alerting anyone. It would be highly suspicious if he was the only one running away from the explosion site while everyone else was rushing toward it.

Once he was a respectable distance away from the explosion site, he stopped blinking and took to the sky, flying away while covered in purple lightning.

While David was rushing away, dozens of figures appeared around the valley with shining eyes, hoping to find something interesting.

David at this time didn't have anything to do with these people as he was already back in the bank.

Time continued to pass, and soon one year flew away in the blink of an eye.

Nightblade city.

The ten-year-long summer season had passed away; winter had finally arrived.

Exquisite snowflakes flew through the air and hit the ground; it was snowing in the Nightblade city. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Strangely, however, the snow didn't accumulate on the ground as if some sort of force was keeping the ground warm.

Inside the Bank of Eternal Origin.

"No, we can't lower the interest rate for you." David shook his head and spoke while looking deeply at the man sitting in front of him.

"How can you not? The interest that you are demanding is too absurd—2 percent for a single month? Why don't you just rob me?" The man spoke with a livid expression on his face as if he had just witnessed something extremely absurd.

The man's name was Rexton Doomdon. He had come to join Truth Seeker formation organizations, but before he could even enter the city, he was robbed by a gang of bandits, leaving him with only his clothes to cover his body. He was now penniless without a single Spirit Stone with him.

Somehow he had managed to enter the city.

"Mr. Rexton Doomdon, please don't tarnish our bank's reputation. If you don't like the terms and conditions, you are free to go; no one is forcing you to stay here."

"We at the Bank of Eternal Origin do business in an upright way." David took the last sip and placed the cup on the table, albeit a little forcefully.

Hearing David's words, Rexton Doomdon's face darkened. If he could get the loan somewhere else, why would he even bother coming to this godforsaken place in the first place?

David looked at Rex's face, and his lips immediately curled upwards.

This was a done deal.

Lucas, who was sitting in one corner meditating, frowned at this scene. He felt sympathetic for Rex, who had lost everything in a robbery. He wanted to say something but in the end just shook his head and remained silent.

His heart was starting to turn colder, just like the water outside, after seeing such situations almost every day.

After the Bloodmoon Ancestor incident one year ago, the bank had become slightly popular among the residents of the Nightblade city, because of which David had managed to disburse a lot of capital in the last year.

"Can't you lower the interest by at least some basis points?" Rex spoke while gritting his teeth; his hands were tightly clenched below the table.

"Hmmm! We can do that. Do you have anything that you can hand over as collateral?"

"If you do, we can cut the interest rate." David tapped rhythmically and said while looking at Rex deeply.

The tapping sound seemed to be filled with strange power that weakened Rex's mental state.

At David's words, Rex's body shook. In the end, he sighed; he had nothing to give as collateral.

"Fine! I will accept your arrangement." Rex spoke with a hollow voice that seemed to have lost the will to live.

"Excellent! Here, sign this agreement while I collect the spirit stones."

David smiled and flicked his wrist; a spiritual agreement appeared in front of Rex Doomdon.

Rex read through the agreement and sighed once again; everything in the agreement was the same as the manager had explained.

Although the terms were harsh, he had no choice.

After taking a deep breath, he signed the agreement with shaking fingers and forwarded it to David, who also signed it without wasting any time.

Immediately, the agreement burst into golden light which merged with David and Rex's figures.

David couldn't help but look at the guy in amusement; how dramatic can you be?

To be honest, he didn't even believe Rex's story. How can someone at the Golden Core Realm be so easily robbed?

Anyway, he didn't care as long as he paid back his dues in time.

After some time, he placed a bag filled with ten mid-grade spirit stones in front of the guy.

"Here are your ten mid-grade spirit stones, and don't forget to come back after three months to repay."

After hearing the sound of money, life seemed to have returned to Rex's face.

He hurriedly took the bag and counted the Spirit stones. After confirming the amount, he got up to leave.

In no time, he was gone.

Once Rex left the building premises, he turned his focus away, and just as he was about to relax, he was hit by a notification.
