Chapter 2354

Moreover, the Lumigold was a treasure useful in forging divine protective weapons. Offering two eighth-grade herbs in exchange for that was utterly disrespectful, to say the least. Eighth-grade herbs were rare in and of themselves, but they could not be compared to the significance of Lumigold. Integrating the piece that Severin had into the Sky-Soil Zenith would undoubtedly elevate it to becoming a divine proactive weapon. Severin replied calmly, "I'll pretend nothing happened if you leave without kicking up a fuss." Gerry's expression soured following that rebuff. His fingers clenched the silver shield so tightly that his knuckles were turning pale. With a scowl, he declared in a frosty tone, "Are you sure you wish to make an enemy out of us?" They were not the same sole representatives of the Burkes within the Starry Sky Battlespace. Wenzel, the Burkes' divine heir, was immersed in comprehending the scriptures of philosophy several thousands of miles away in the turbulent depths. There were also several young masters as strong as Gerry who were exploring various corners of the battlespace in search of treasures. Confronting a juggernaut like the Burkes would demand any typical person to weigh the consequences carefully. However, Severin was far from typical. Having gone against Menzie and even killing a core disciple of the Yellow Ghost Tribe, facing off against the Burkes was just another minor hurdle in his unconventional journey. "If you want a fight, then by all means, come at me!" Severin responded calmly. Severin's repeated refusal could anger even the calmest of people, so one could expect that a prodigy like Gerry would be filled with frustration. He sneered. "I've given you a chance, but you decided to spurn it. In that case, I'll be happy to end your life today!" Gerry's aura then surged suddenly as a spiritual light flickered across his body. A flaming red polearm materialized from the void, and the superior-quality spiritual treasure emitted a bright radiance. As Gerry wielded it, his entire presence seemed to have transformed, as he emanated a surge of divine light and battle spirit. "Die!" he roared as he hurtled towards Severin at breakneck speed. His movement across the starry sky left huge cracks in the void. Severin sneered when he observed Gerry closing in. The Lotus Divine Attack in his energy center poised itself, and the tri-colored spiritual fire burned brightly as it coalesced into a palm-sized lotus. As Gerry drew within a hundred feet, Severin finally decided to attack. "Do as you wish!" he exclaimed, raising his hand. The green lotus, composed of the tri-colored spiritual fire, streaked across the sky like a meteor with a palpable force of impending doom. With only a hundred feet remaining, Gerry continued to press on. However, Severin's sudden strike prompted him to change his course, but the Lotus Divine Attack had landed on him before he could react. The next instant, Gerry was embraced by death as his body was engulfed in a whirlpool of hot air and flames. His entire being seemed to burn, from his body all the way down to his soul and attainment. Attempting to extinguish the flames with spiritual energy only intensified the inferno. In a matter of seconds, the spiritual fire erupted and consumed him completely. In a tortured cry, Gerry's body seemed to explode, and his soul had been burnt completely.
