Chapter 168

From the very beginning, Brian had been watching Lin Cheng's every move, and when Lin Cheng looked into the distance, the Six Demon Generals and the others all turned their gaze in the same direction.

However, the next second, everyone froze in place.

They saw a black pillar of light erupt from the flat ground, shooting straight up into the sky!

The entire Gas Tree Sea, and even several thousand meters beyond it, could see the full pillar of energy piercing through the clouds!

"What is that!" Sorano looked toward the direction where the black pillar of light had erupted.

Cobra's face turned solemn as he said, "It seems that attack just now triggered something."

"Wait... this magical power—could it be Nirvana!"

Even separated by several thousand meters, Brian could feel the terrifying and evil magical power radiating from the black pillar of light!

Within the entire Gas Tree Sea, only the legendary Nirvana could possess such magical power!

Unexpectedly, an attack fired by sheer coincidence had blasted Nirvana out into the open!

Brian naturally had no idea what was going on in Lin Cheng's mind; seeing the Nirvana he had long sought finally appear, the joy on his face was almost impossible to conceal.

Immediately, Brian rushed toward the spot where the black pillar of light had erupted.

"I'll head over first; you all hold that guy back. Once we get Nirvana under control, no one in this world will be able to stop us anymore!"

……

As for Brian's departure, Lin Cheng did not try to stop him.

Although he had revealed Nirvana's location, in truth there was still a seal on Nirvana's surface.

Forcing through it might damage Nirvana, and if that ended up affecting Nirvana's operation, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

This seal had to be broken by Brian himself.

In fact, Lin Cheng could have transformed into Jellal from the very start and led Brian straight over.

But simply strolling over so openly would inevitably arouse the other's suspicion.

Therefore, striking first was merely to make Brian feel the threat, and then to expose Nirvana's location.

With his own life under threat, Brian would inevitably place all his hopes on Nirvana.

When the moment came, in order to survive, he would devote everything to unsealing Nirvana.

So everything—including Midnight's use of spatial magic to warp space and redirect the attack—was also within Lin Cheng's calculations.

However, what Lin Cheng hadn't expected was that it actually worked on the very first try.
