although not at the core of the terrifying explosion, they were still heavily impacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that the World Tree Favored would so decisively choose self-preservation, perishing together with Juliana?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really so reckless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holmes’s face looked grim; he wasn’t some muscle-bound brute — the explosion’s shockwave almost took his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juliana, however, wasn’t so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Lis’s self-preservation, she was right at the explosion’s core, simultaneously bound by Lis and utterly unable to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Juliana’s formidable strength, she was ultimately just an assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holmes shook his head — he could no longer sense any trace of Juliana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Lis’s presence had also vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to be able to kill the World Tree Favored, even at such a cost, seemed still worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the continually expanding space rift before him, Holmes felt a lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Holmes’s mood somewhat lightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the price wasn’t his to pay, he could accept the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space, which they had solidified with rare items, was destroyed like this — he couldn’t imagine facing that strike directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spreading trend of the space rift was now irreversible; before long, it would devour the surrounding space, eventually leading to the destruction of the [Mist Wilderness] small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to leave quickly; he didn’t want to face Lis’s helpers arriving afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Holmes turned to look at Lune beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to speak when suddenly Lune’s expression turned extremely grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that because Lis’s body was not left for a successful offering, his Hunting Ceremony did not yield a satisfactory return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an unavoidable situation; Lis was forced by them to choose self-destruction, even with superior strength, how could they stop Lis from desperate measures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holmes shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Lune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is already the best result, at least the Hunting Ceremony was completed, wasn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we don’t leave now, it’ll be troublesome when those stubborn folks from the Church of the Gods arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holmes’s persuasion had no effect, instead, it seemed to have electrified Lune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying, ferocious aura exploded from his body, sweeping around madly with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s not dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did he do it!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn Lis, damn World Tree Favored, I will tear you apart completely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lune fell into extreme madness in an instant, attacking the surroundings angrily, venting his inner fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indiscriminate attack even dragged Holmes into the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dodged awkwardly and, instead of getting angry, was stunned by Lune’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis isn’t dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is that possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether during the initial reconnaissance or the ensuing battle, Holmes could confirm that the Lis appearing here was his true body, not some avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holmes possessed the Ten Thousand Beasts Avatar ability inherited from the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, reaching the level of a Hundred Beasts, and had a remarkable mastery of avatar-related abilities even among legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the special ability of the Hundred Beasts Avatar allowed him to distinguish the enemy’s presence, to check whether it was the true body or an avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering this small world, aside from himself, Lune also used powers, inherited from the God of Hunting, to confirm Lis’s situation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made these preparations because they knew Lis had a special avatar skill, possessing some real strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure the previous preparations weren’t wasted, they had to make sure they were besieging Lis’s true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Lune said Lis wasn’t dead?\u003C\u002Fp>",822,"2026-06-03T10:58:51.595Z","2026-06-03T10:58:57.738Z",1,"novelbin.me","1dcfffda56cace0b82a87cf9ccbbabf339da3624a51be33868ada97ce56298b2","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1170","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1168",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
