Chapter 322 -322-No Manners at All
"Could that person... be Faustus?"
Sean murmured to himself, his lips turning pale.
At this moment, Faustus was already the most sensational figure in the Myriad-Star Cosmos.
His portrait and name had spread like wildfire, sweeping across every corner of the universe.
Sean had actually seen his portrait before. He simply had not dared to confirm it earlier.
But now, he could say it with absolute certainty—
He had tried to rob Faustus!
That, in itself, was not the biggest problem.
The real problem was... he had offended him to death!
"Faustus... he really is a legendary monster!"
Sean’s heart pounded wildly in his chest, and his mind went completely blank.
This was absurd beyond belief. A mere quasi-sage was able to instantly kill Divine-grade powerhouses and even severely injure high-grade sages!
You call this a quasi-sage?
Are you sure this isn’t death itself wearing human skin?
"Go! Run!"
Sean instantly lost all will to fight. Only one thought remained in his mind—
Escape!
He turned and fled, not daring to look back.
"What a pity about those sages of my Council of the Gods..."
Sean gritted his teeth, secretly hating Faustus for his ruthlessness. With one palm strike, he had crushed so many Divine-grade powerhouses to death.
That was the foundation the Council of the Gods had accumulated over millions of years!
"When I return, the Speaker will never let me off easily..."
His figure transformed into a stream of light and vanished into the vast star sea.
Behind him, the Imperial Bow Ark still hovered silently in the void. The starlight on its hull flickered coldly, as if mocking every enemy who had overestimated themselves.
Daniel watched as those high-grade sages scattered in all directions like a school of frightened fish. The corners of his lips slowly curled into a cold arc.
"Now you know fear?"
He murmured softly, his voice carrying unquestionable killing intent.
He slowly extended his right hand. In his palm, a Holy Grail appeared out of thin air—
The Voidbound Grail!
The body of the Holy Grail was engraved with countless flowing star tracks and patterns of spatial cracks, as if it had once held an entire frozen galaxy.
"You want to run? I haven’t even given you permission yet. No manners at all!"
If a sage was determined to flee, it was extremely difficult for a quasi-sage to catch up.
Daniel had been helpless against this in the past. He could only watch his prey slip away before his eyes.
But now, things were different.
He held the Voidbound Grail in his palm, sensing the dormant power of space-time within it.
This Holy Grail was one of the championship rewards from the Starlight Rankings Tournament. It was a top-grade Divine-grade space-time secret treasure.
Not only could it break through no-flight formations, it could also reverse-seal space, turning an entire region of void into an invisible and intangible cage.
And the key to that cage was held by Daniel alone.
"Go!"
Daniel released his hand, and the Holy Grail spun into the air under the control of his mind power.
Its mouth faced downward, pouring out a mist of blue light.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Waves of invisible space-time ripples spread from the rim of the Holy Grail. Like a drop of ink falling into a calm lake, the ripples expanded layer after layer, covering a million miles of void in the blink of an eye.
Every place touched by the ripples instantly froze in space.
Within the invisible starry sky, an unseen gigantic wall appeared out of nowhere, so solid that not even molecules could pass through it.
The fleeing high-grade sages were like trains rushing at full speed through a tunnel, only to crash violently into an invisible wall.
Amid thunderous explosions, they were shaken until their heads spun. Some even spat blood on the spot.
"Oh no! Space has been sealed!"
Sean’s expression changed drastically. His heart nearly exploded out of his chest.
"We... we’ve become insects trapped in a cage..."
The other powerhouses’ faces were filled with deep despair, as if they could already see the scythe of death pressed against their necks.
"We can’t leave!"
"He’s not demi-sage rank at all! He’s an ancient magical beast wearing human skin!"
The Voidbound Grail hung high above the sky, emitting a cold, glow.
Even if a peak Divine-grade powerhouse descended, they would not be able to easily break through the spatial seal of this secret treasure.
The Holy Grail suddenly trembled, and another, denser ring of space-time ripples spread outward.
The moment those powerhouses were touched by the ripples, they felt their Strength rapidly draining away, as if a greedy mouth was madly sucking the divine energy from their bodies.
"Sage rank!"
Sean was horrified. He hurriedly unleashed his own sage-rank domain, trying to resist that invisible devouring force.
However, his sage-rank domain, which had once been fairly decent, could now barely expand to a range of one hundred miles under the suppression of the Holy Grail. It had been weakened by an unknown number of times!
At this moment, it was only barely comparable to the sage-rank domain of a low-grade sage. It was pitifully weak.
The Voidbound Grail was terrifying indeed!
"No—!"
Sean felt despair seep deep into his bones. It was a kind of powerlessness that could not be broken free from no matter how hard he struggled.
He raised his head and looked at the Holy Grail hanging above him.
"Celestial Grasp!"
Daniel did not give them even the slightest chance to catch their breath.
He raised his right arm. His palm rapidly expanded in the void, transforming in an instant into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and covered all the battered high-grade sages beneath it.
Within the palm, layers upon layers of world projections revolved, while galaxies spun and coiled.
Rumble—!
Inside the palm, surging Strength boiled and churned like a volcano, carrying the weight of countless worlds as it crushed downward.
Those high-grade sages were already heavily injured. On top of that, they had been weakened by the Holy Grail. How could they possibly withstand such a world-destroying palm strike?
With one palm, all the enemies were slain, turning into silent dust within the star sea.
[Ding! You have killed a Divine-grade powerhouse: Council of the Gods high-grade sage. You have obtained Origin Crystal ×200 cubic units!]
[Ding! You have sold Origin Crystal ×200 cubic units to the Doom Guild for 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost! Please choose quality boost or quantity boost!]
"Quantity boost!"
[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 gold coin! You have obtained Origin Crystal ×200,000,000 cubic units!]
[Ding! You have killed a Divine-grade powerhouse: Council of the Gods high-grade sage. You have obtained Origin Crystal ×230 cubic units!]
[...You have obtained Origin Crystal ×230,000,000 cubic units!]
[Ding! You have killed the Divine-grade powerhouse Sean, Deputy Speaker of the Council of the Gods. You have obtained Origin Crystal ×1,150 cubic units!]
[...You have obtained Origin Crystal ×1,150,000,000 cubic units!]
Daniel listened to the system notifications exploding repeatedly in his ears, yet he did not even lift his eyelids.
Although this wave of gains had cost him absolutely nothing, he had experienced far greater harvests countless times before.
This bit of Origin Crystal was no longer enough to stir even the slightest ripple in his heart. It was like pouring another bucket of water into a vast ocean. Not even a splash would appear.
After Daniel completely suppressed and killed the many powerhouses of the Council of the Gods, he casually recalled the Voidbound Grail.
The Holy Grail slowly spun in the air, then transformed into a blue stream of light and sank into his palm, as quiet as a sleeping little beast.
"This Holy Grail will become stronger and stronger as my own strength increases."
Daniel thought to himself.
The reason he had not exchanged for other offensive Divine-grade secret treasures was because, with the Voidbound Grail in hand, his offensive weapon was already more than sufficient.
Especially because of this Holy Grail’s unique trait—
It could grow stronger as its user’s strength increased. Like a loyal comrade-in-arms, the stronger Daniel became, the stronger it would become as well, and the denser the space-time power it contained would be.
If Daniel achieved peak Divine-grade in the future, suppressing powerhouses of the same rank with this treasure would be as easy as crushing a group of ants.
Even if he encountered existences above sage rank but below Oracle-grade, he would still not fall into a disadvantage!
