I rushed to the crevices one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, I checked the passages once again. Most of the passages were empty. The foreign creatures had yet to step inside from the dark portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I destroyed the passage itself. I closed the crevice and continued to do so. But I was afraid the foreign creatures would appear soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A horned humanoid creature appeared outside in one of the last crevices. When the foreign creature came into my sight, I darted out towards the enemy to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned humanoid creature was taken aback. It didn’t expect to see the human warrior here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the horned humanoid charged forward to attack. Both scythe-like hands shot at the human warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I evaded the attack. It whistled past me. The second attack came right then. I grabbed the scythe-like arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hands were covered in multi-color light. I swung the horned humanoid creature to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple mark strength-like horned humanoid creature fell down to the ground. It was taken aback completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning Cage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple lightning and shock force power struck the horned humanoid creature. Before it could get up on its feet, the creature fell down to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a cage, the purple lightning bolts covered the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shriek!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horned humanoid creature let out a sound. It was being affected by the powerful lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the defense of the foreign creature was broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning power started rampaging through the skin, flesh, and bones. It didn’t take long for the internal organs to get affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreign creature wanted to use dark energy, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning force ended its life. Once the foreign creature was dead, I continued the work of destroying the last few passages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome found the anomaly. Its new unidentified passages connected to the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreign creatures were pouring into the space cracks to enter the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he was not without options. The higher-ups had expected such situations. They had given him powerful artifacts to destroy the space passages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now destroy the passages. The next second, he took out a golden mirror artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden mirror artifact had stored power. The power was unimaginable. If the slightest power were to land on the Tier-4 region, it would overturn the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only afford to use the power outside in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome didn’t waste time; he proceeded as per instructions. He activated the golden mirror artifact and positioned the mirror face facing the space passages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden mirror got activated. A golden power shot out from the mirror. In a flash, it struck the space passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the passage was destroyed. The space storms appeared. Jerome retreated far to widen the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the space blades were to hit him, he would be hurt as well. He had destroyed one, and there were more to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to destroy the other passages before the foreign creatures learned about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the foreign creatures had sent their elite race members to every battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target was Zack Lockwood, along with every other genius human warrior on the target list. The foreign forces had started acting proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they had activated their spies in the Tier-4 region; they had decided to kill seed warriors who were yet to become Black Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to repeat the mistake. They didn’t know about Zack Lockwood earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they realized his true potential, it was already too late. Now Zack Lockwood could kill Purple Mark Level Warriors and foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they were going to kill the potential genius warriors now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Tier-4 region, the powerful families were doing their best to safeguard their warriors. They were especially paying more attention to the genius warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top forces had access to the information. They knew that the battlefield had become chaotic. The foreign creatures were after the genius warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to know about the genius warrior of Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of Zack Lockwood had spread across the Tier-4 region. It’s just that they didn’t have an opportunity to see this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-4 region has top forces conducting various competitions in every season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no restrictions on background. Anyone can participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any rising warrior appeared in any of the six universities, it was normal for them to travel the world. They participated in competitions to show their talent and win awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then their names would further spread. It was the normal case. But the situation was totally different with Zack Lockwood. He had never left Star University to travel the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People had only seen him at Star City. It’s a direct city that comes under the territory of the Star University. He did not travel to other university territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top forces understood that Dean Jerome was taking care of the kid. This is what was learned by the families connected to the various factions in the Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, many tried to kill Zack Lockwood. After knowing Dean Jerome’s move, they had erased such an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the kid was being targeted by the foreign creatures. If they were to be involved next, then they would be mistaken for the planted spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was much more dangerous for them. So they ignored Zack Lockwood for the time being. Instead, they became protective of their own genius warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderflame Faction\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford didn’t have a clue about what was happening with Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Dean Jerome had taken over the watch over Zack Lockwood, he had stopped worrying about the kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, he had come to know about Zack Lockwood’s strength from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors who had returned from the warrior camp had talked about Zack Lockwood. It made him and the other main elders sigh in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Zack Lockwood has strength equal to that of the main elders now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-05T15:57:28.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","8775b53fabf71530c7dd8e4d81637c0f96d6e09c08af3b4f133055705b026ceb","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1487","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1485",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
