"Dead?" The three-headed alien and the giant tortoise exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes. Black Ice God Venerable and Purple Flame King had barely resisted before their auras gradually faded and they died completely.
These were two mighty beings of the third layer of supreme existence!
Merlin glanced at the Void Realm. His Illusory World still enveloped him, but with a slight motion, he drew it back into his body.
