606: Chapter 654 The Saint is Shocked! Everyone is Level 70!?

The Sages all fixed their gazes on An Ke.

In their view, Xiao was already dead.

Otherwise, after all this time, how could he not have appeared?

But based on this kid's words, he was certain that Xiao was still alive.

No!

Didn't this kid say he was a newly promoted contestant?

Since he was a newly promoted contestant, how could he possibly know of Xiao's existence?

This indicated one thing: the kid before them was lying.

Thinking of this, the Sages' eyes turned cold.

"Kid, you are deceiving us. You are not a newly promoted contestant."

As soon as the Sage finished speaking, he immediately took action.

A large hand reached directly for An Ke.

In the next second, the surrounding environment began to change.

The reds became redder, the blues bluer, and everything became distorted and abstract.

Because of this change, the Sage's grab caught nothing but air.

An Ke's figure had already vanished, leaving no trace.

However, his voice drifted over: "I must say, this move is truly useful."

An Ke had taken a liking to the "concept body."

As long as the situation wasn't broken, this thing was an utterly unreasonable technique.

The attacking Sage was astonished.

"What is this?"

He looked around, momentarily unable to comprehend what was happening.

After all, he had never seen it before.

It was like a math problem that one actually knew how to solve.

But because it was so rare, one might not understand it at first; only after careful study could one have an epiphany.

"This is a deeper technique of the spirit—a Concept."

Another Sage had figured out what it was.

"This is a technique that even we find difficult to perform right now!"

Yet another Sage spoke, a look of gravity in his eyes.

"This proves even further that the kid is lying. No more talk—kill him directly."

"No matter which domain he's from, we don't need to worry, because reason is on our side."

There was a rule among the various city mansions in the game: they could not attack each other outside the boundary lines.

Because outside the boundary lines was where they lived.

Once this place was destroyed, they would have no resources for survival.

Back when there were no rules, the 108 Mansions suffered a famine; it was a difficult century. After all, the higher a creature's biological level, the more food or energy it needed to consume.

Fortunately, some contestants made it through.

As for how they made it through, only they knew in their hearts.

Later, the 108 Mansions established a rule.

Outside the boundary lines, no abilities could be used.

Contestants who violated this would be hunted down by all domains.

However, there was one exception: actively invading someone else's mansion.

If warnings were ineffective, the guards of a Realm Domain Mansion could use force to deal with invaders.

"Such heavy hostility!"

An Ke's voice floated through the air; he didn't intend to explain too much.

Directly ignoring the Sages, he called out loudly once again.

Although Sages had ways to break a "Concept," it would take time.

An Ke intended to use this time to meet with Xiao.

That was his true purpose.

An Ke was confident that by the time the Sages broke the "Concept," he would have made Xiao willing to see him.

"Xiao, I know your lifespan is nearing its end."

"Unable to break through for so long, you cannot extend your life, which is why you chose to hide away in your mansion."

"I have a way to help you extend your life, as long as you are willing to see me."

The Sages spoke while attempting to crack the concept:

"Kid, is there something wrong with your head?"

"Xiao is no longer here. What's the use of shouting here?"

"If Xiao were here, would our 99th Boundary Domain Mansion be in such a state?"

Ranked second to last.

If a Demigod were active, would the ranking still be this?

A Demigod couldn't afford to lose that kind of face.

An Ke ignored them and continued:

"You don't believe me?"

"Think I'm weak?"

"Then open your eyes and take a good look at why I have such confidence!!"

After speaking.

An Ke shouted: "Submit to me!"

His voice echoed continuously, traveling through this distorted and abstract territory.

In the territory, many contestants burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"What is this kid saying?"

"Submit to him?"

"Our 99th Realm may be weak, but we're not so weak that we'd be afraid of you alone."

"Wait until our Sages break your concept, then just wait to die."

"Keep dreaming!"

"..."

But gradually, the voices grew quieter and quieter.

Many contestants were shocked to find that the people beside them who were just mocking him suddenly trembled.

In the next second, they fell from the sky and knelt on the ground.

One, two, a hundred, three hundred... more and more contestants all fell.

And those who were unaffected watched this scene in horror.

In the air, only about 1/6 of the people remained unaffected.

"Hiss—!"

"What's going on?"

"Get up, hurry!!"

"Wait, didn't you guys just say he wasn't worthy?"

"Have you noticed? Everyone kneeling is Level 70 or below!"

That's right! An Ke's "Natural Affinity" had already been upgraded to Level 70!

The 99th Realm was ranked second to last.

There were many, many contestants below Level 70.

They made up 5/6 of the total.

This scene made even the Sages feel terrified.

They stared fixedly at An Ke and said word by word:

"Kid, what did you do?"

"Is this an absolute obedience ability?"

"Is it also the power of Law?"

"Making contestants below Level 70 submit."

"This is just too ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Hurry and break this concept!! Then take him out."

All the Sages were frantic.

They felt that as long as they broke the concept, they could return those kneeling people to normal.

If they couldn't be restored...

The 99th Realm would be ruined.

Once 5/6 of the people all became puppets, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But just then, everything around them returned to normal.

"Eh?"

The Sages and the other unaffected contestants were surprised.

An Ke had voluntarily deactivated the "Concept"?

Without time to think about it, the Sages all looked at An Ke.

In the next second, they intended to strike.

Kill him first, and let everyone return to normal before talking.

"Rise!!"

An Ke grinned and spat out a single word.

Below.

The kneeling contestants all stood up, flew into the air, and then stood before An Ke.

The Sages' attacks immediately stopped, the anger on their faces reaching an absolute peak.

"Kid, you're so despicable, actually using so many people as hostages."

An Ke didn't answer the Sages, but instead continued to speak toward the 99th Boundary Domain Mansion:

"Xiao, I've lifted the shielding. You can now investigate the biological levels of these people."

The Sages' eyelids twitched.

Even at this point, he was still calling for Xiao.

However, they were still curious and began to investigate the people "controlled" by An Ke.

Soon, the Sages were shocked to the extreme.

"This..."

"How is this possible?!"

Inside the New World.

Ai Li, also a Sage, had a similarly shocked expression.

"Ev—everyone is Level 70?!"

Ai Li looked at An Ke once again.

This time, there was deep fear in his eyes.

He knew An Ke was a new contestant.

But this F-rank, he didn't buy it...

...
