Chapter 1072 You Cannot Leave

"Quick, join both the seed fragments," the draconian princess urgently urged Liam.

Liam nodded, his movements quick and decisive as he retrieved the other world tree seed fragment he possessed. With haste, he brought the two fragments together, and a surge of brilliant energy pulsed through the air. The fragments resonated, drawn inexorably toward each other as if guided by a higher purpose.

In a dazzling display, a radiant glow enveloped the fragments, merging them into a single, unified ent.i.ty.

"Yes! You've almost obtained half of the world seed! Can you sense the presence of the remaining fragments now? You should be able to perceive their existence!" the draconian princess exclaimed, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with antic.i.p.ation.

Realization dawned upon her as she understood why she couldn't sense the seed fragment beforeit had been concealed within a human being. This revelation implied that the other seed fragments might also reside within living beings.

Having two seed fragments in their possession made their task considerably easier. These fragments possessed a magnetic attraction toward one another, facilitating the search for the remaining pieces when one fragment was already acquired.

Liam closed his eyes, focusing his mind and attempting to attune himself to the essence of the World Tree seed fragment. He channeled mana through his body, seeking a connection with the seed's energy.

In the next moment, a flicker of something vast and indistinct pa.s.sed through his consciousness. However, the sensation faded all too quickly, allowing him only a fleeting glimpse.

Disappointed, Liam opened his eyes and shook his head. "Perhaps you can sense something?" he suggested, extending his palm to offer the world seed fragment to the draconian princess.

Surprisingly, she shook her head. "It is better for this seed fragment to remain with you at all times, and for you alone to forge a connection. This way, there is a chance for the world tree to bond directly with you."

Liam regarded her for a moment before retracting his hand. "Perhaps I'll be able to sense another seed fragment if I'm closer to it?"???????.???

Given that they had just obtained a seed fragment in this territory, the likelihood of finding the other fragments within the same vicinity was slim. It seemed more plausible that the fragments were scattered across the world, necessitating their search in different regions.

Reaching an unspoken understanding, Liam and the draconian princess turned to leave. However, their path was suddenly blocked by a group of individuals who swiftly moved in front of them, obstructing their way.

"What? What is going on? What did you do?" Birahi shouted, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and confusion. The men standing beside him wore expressions of disbelief and concern.

Liam paused, his gaze steady. "You have nothing to worry about. Your guild leader's life is no longer in danger. Unfortunately, to save him, we had to break his mana core. But rest a.s.sured, everything is now fine."

Birahi's mouth opened to respond, but before he could speak, Liam interjected, his voice firm. "You don't need to be alarmed. There are numerous ways to repair a broken mana core and restore his body. I personally guarantee that he will be healed in due course. Now, move aside. We don't have much time."

However, despite Liam's words, none of the men standing in their path showed any inclination to step aside. Liam's gaze turned cold, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Hmmm?"

I think you should take a look at

"Do you think we are all fools, Mr. Liam?" Birahi sneered, a smirk playing on his lips. "Or did you believe we are blind? It's not just about Asim's health. Why don't you take a seat first, and then we can discuss what exactly you extracted from his body?"

The surrounding men unsheathed their weapons, their eyes filled with greed as they stared at Liam and the draconian princess.

It was clear that they no longer cared about the guy who was lying on the bed. Rather their gaze was fixated on something else, the small particle in Liam's hand.

"What? You're unwilling to share the details with us?" Birahi clicked his tongue mockingly. "Too bad. I'm afraid I cannot allow you to take another step without an explanation."

A tense silence enveloped the area as Liam silently locked eyes with the group before him. All of them seemed to be pretty determined to fight with him for the item.

Liam chuckled lightly. He then lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let out a sigh.

"It seems I've been too lenient as of late."

Raising his gaze once more, his face transformed into a mask of pure malevolence. A powerful aura emanated from him, causing everyone in the room to tremble.

Birahi swallowed nervously. "Mr. Liam... That... Hear me out... It is not fair... you..."

"Are you still not going to step aside?" Liam stepped forward, his glare intense, but in the next moment, his expression changed. Simultaneously, the draconian princess's demeanor also turned grave.

Ignoring the insignificant individuals blocking their path, Liam and the draconian princess quickly dashed outside, only to freeze in their tracks at the sight that awaited them.

In the distance, three colossal clouds of dust billowed into the sky, their magnitude and momentum hinting at an impending cataclysmic event.

The ground beneath Liam's feet trembled as the approaching dust clouds revealed their true nature. Ma.s.sive figures emerged from within, towering over the landscape with an air of primal power. They exuded raw killing intent that made everyone in the vicinity tremble and s.h.i.+ver.

"What the h.e.l.l... are these...?" Liam's eyes widened in disbelief. He subconsciously tightened his grip around the world seed fragment in his hand.

"They must be the guardians," the draconian princess gasped, her voice filled with awe and trepidation. "They must have sensed the strong aura of the world seed fragment now that you have combined two of the seed fragments together."

"Liam, we must leave immediately. You are not strong enough to face them in your current condition. We have to go. Now."
