Far away somewhere in a dark place, a muscular middle aged man was fighting three people, two of the same rank and one being higher than him who also seemed to be the leader.

This dark place was a closed place and also a place where energy was a scarcity.

Even though he was fighting equally he was bound to lose if this kept going.

Suddenly the space laws of the area fluctuated. This put a surprised expression on the three people's face.

After a moment an old man along with few other people entered.

Looking at the old man the three people obviously panicked and the middle aged muscular man grinned.

The old man didn't say anything. He just joined his index and middle finger of his right hand and without any change of expression on his face, slashed it towards one of the enemy.

The enemy panicked seeing this but before he could take any action his entire body was divided into half.

He died with a look of horror on his face.

"H-h-how is this possible!? Weren't you injured???"

"H-how did you improve your cultivation base any further!?!?"

One of the remaining enemy asked with a horrified expression on his face.

The old man looked at him with a grin and said

"Did you fools really think it was possible to harm me with your low level tricks?"

"We were just keeping it level so that we could hide and grow stronger and take revenge in the future."

Hearing this the person who seemed to be the leader of the trio asked with confusion

"Since you guys were hiding, why are you now making such a flashy entrance."

"You will be discovered sooner or later and more and more people will be send after you."

Hearing this the old man went silent for a minute before replying

"Well, this is actually a top level secret information, but... well let me satisfy your curiosity..."

Seeing the old man's 'nasty' grin the two gulped and immediately knew the situation was turning for worse.

Without paying their change of expressions any mind the old man told them three words

"He is alive."

And the expressions of both the people's changed. Even the muscular middle aged man's expression changed drastically hearing this.

They knew who 'he' was. Knowing this information meant, now even god couldn't save them.

"Since it already came to this..." muttered one of the two remaining enemy who wasn't the leader.

The energy gathering inside his body started gathering at a terrifying speed.

Seeing this the old man disappeared from the original place and appeared right before him.

Before the man or the leader could do anything, the old man pointed his finger at his belly and the man blasted in a wall before he fainted.

"Can't let you ruin our plan~"

The old man then looked at the remaining enemy and slashed towards his dantian as well.

This time though the enemy who was also the leader was prepared and he sacrificed a treasure to cancel out the attack.

The old was surprised but that's it. He immediately disappeared and kicked the leader from behind.

The leader knew the old man was behind but he was a second slow at reacting.

He created a shield out of his domain in order to reduce the damage but the shield didn't even last a second.

This truly surprised the leader for he knew how strong the shield was.

If one wanted an idea, then the leader of the trio was an immortal.

To blast a shield created by an immortal with just a seemingly normal kick, this just showed how strong the old man was!

His kick eventually landed on the hands of the leader which he used to guard his chest.

*crack* *crack*

The bones of the enemy leader cracked but he didn't care about it.

He stared at the old man with bloodshot eyes and said

"Even if you get strong, you are just alone! Only you are healed! Everyone of you is gravely injured!"

"How can you fight alone against 'Union'?!"

"Nicholas Dumas, the offer of Her Imperial Majesty is still open for you."

"Why are you still living in delusion?"

"The Devil Emperor is long dead. Even if you healed yourself and broke through, so what?"

"The Devil Empire's remnants are being hunted by not just 'Union'."

"How long can you survive with your mere strength?"

The place went eerily silent. The aura of the old man who seemed to be having fun changed drastically.

The space laws started trembling and even the people who came with him started shivering after experiencing the killing intent.

"Hahahahaha"

Though a wild laughter broke the silence that resounded through the entire void before Nicholas looked at the immortal level leader in disdain.

"All the cowards bunched together and attacked His Imperial Majesty and even still wasn't able to kill him."

"Just thinking of this makes me so angry, I want to torture the hell out of you guys."

Seeing the immortal level leader's face going pale, Nicholas shook his head before continuing

"Don't worry, even though you're a small fry to me and as much as I want to kill you, you're still a immortal level warrior and one of the leader send by the 'Seductive Witch'."

"What do you think will happen to the 'Seductive Witch' once a leader under her is publically executed?"

Seeing Nicholas' grin the leader's face became even paler.

He knew, if he was publically executed, the 'Seductive Witch' will lose authority in the Union.

And the immortal leader's entire family, friends and relatives will be annihilated just to appease her anger.

Nicholas said nothing and slashed his fingers towards the enemy who was obviously in a state of confusion and panic.

The gray colored qi slashed his dantian and he was immediately crippled.

And like that the world lost another immortal!
