With her hands on her back, Marci continued walking until she was face to face with Adina. As she blinked, two fine beams of mysterious light shot out of her eyes and entered Adina’s orbs.

A mental battle was initiated instantly. Adina and Marci were both on a battlefield only the two of them could see.

In a flash, the two of them performed all the signature skills they knew and blasted their powers at each other.

Adina was not in her top condition because of her injuries. It showed during the battle as Marci gradually gained the upper hand.

At one point, Marci pushed her palms forward and sent thousands of planets flying toward Adina. Those planets hit Adina simultaneously and threw her backward.

In reality, Adina coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. She lost her footing and fell onto the bottom of the steps leading up to the podium.

She failed.

Adina, the number one cultivator in the Great Historial Land, lost two battles that day. She never felt this humiliated before.

Adina lost the first battle to the Chosen One, who emerged from the group of living beings, but she was fine with that.

After all, that person received Emperor Yarden's legacy and gained exceptional powers. He even had the protection of the Quasar Second Body.

On the contrary, Marci was someone Adina had given special treatment and the utmost attention to for a long time.

Adina had been Marci's sponsor. She offered her an infinite amount of training resources.

Furthermore, Adina even had Marci study and train under the Haurvatat Temple's grand patriarch to help her level up quickly.

Adina did not expect that Marci had been secretly growing her powers. She never would have imagined receiving a critical hit from Marci like this.

As soon as Adina collapsed, the cultivators from the other temples got up and moved to stand behind Marci.

The looks of scorn and malevolence were evident on their faces. “Adina, who knew we'd get to see you in this pathetic state?” Lord Tzivya laughed.

“Didn't you call yourself the number one cultivator in the Great Historial Land? Isn't your cultivation close to the level of the Soma Daeclon Rank? Yet, you lost the battle so miserably and so soon?”

Adina coughed up more blood as she listened to Lord Tzivya's words. She retorted indignantly, “If it weren't because I had been injured, the group of you wouldn't have succeeded in your plans!”

After a brief pause, the cultivators before her burst into fits of laughter. “We simply grabbed onto the golden opportunity to take you out. Is that too strange for you to understand?”

“You only have yourself to blame for ending up like this today.”

“How dare the Haurvatat Temple imprison the real Chosen One from the Great Historial Land so that you can use the title for your own benefit?”

“Now that the Great Historial Land's Chosen One has regained their freedom, the Haurvatat Temple will face your downfall now!”

Despite her severe injuries, Adina mustered some strength and stumbled to her feet.

“That's right. I've fallen into your trap. However, this won't shake the Haurvatat Temple. Don't forget. We have a grand patriarch, who's the strongest Soma Daeclon Rank cultivator in the Great Historial Land—" “You're still saying that, Adina?" Marci opened her mouth and spoke for the first time.

Curiously, she had a man’s deep voice despite having a lady's appearance. Anyone would find her speaking like that an odd sight. “Marci Annell!” Adina said through gritted teeth, “You traitor! Our grand patriarch will never forgive you for what you've done!”

Marci laughed a harsh, evil laugh. “I guess I should at least explain everything before we get rid of you for good. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Your grand patriarch has been overpowered and captured by the supreme beings at the Forty-Ninth Heaven.

“As for the other two grand patriarchs in the Soma Daeclon Rank from the Great Historial Land... They were killed by Lord Tai Chi even before reaching the Forty-Ninth Heaven.

“In other words, I am the only Soma Daeclon Rank cultivator left in the Great Historial Land.”

Adina was so shaken by the news that she staggered backward and fell into the seat on the podium. “No! That's impossible!” She had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

“No matter how powerful they were, those from Zymurgy would never try to exterminate the Great Historial Land's top three grand patriarchs. That will only bring great harm to themselves.” Marci slowly lifted her gaze. “Don’t you get it yet? The so-called event held at the Forty-Ninth Heaven was a trap meant for the Great Historial Land's three grand patriarchs.”
