"It looks like it."


    The man in the ck robe said coldly, "That despicable man! I wanted to let them kill each other, but I didn''t expect Demetra to leave Wilbur. How could he leave? How could his will be so strong?"


    Bari said, "Sir, Demetra is an orphan and has lived a difficult life since his childhood. His willpower far exceeds that of ordinary people. Although the virus in the red reagent can control the brain of cultivators, it may not be effective for someone with such strong willpower."


    The man in the ck robe remained silent for a moment and said, "In that case, Bari, go and kill Demetra. Get rid of the problem."


    "Yes, sir. I''ll have it done right away."


    Bari retreated into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.


    The man in the ck robe got up and entered the underground chamber, arriving at the training room. As he opened the door, a surge of fiery spiritual energy rushed towards him. Entering the training room, the man in the ck robe looked up and saw Damon, bound by iron. At that moment, all the blood vessels on Damon''s body were swollen, and his body was in an extremely excited state.


    "Sir, please spare me!"


    The man in the ck robe said, "In just one more day, you will be able to merge all nine fire crystal cores, Damon. Just hold on a little longer. After you seed, I believe you will thank me."


    "Sir, I beg you, spare me. You... you might as well just kill me. I don''t want to endure this pain anymore. I''d rather have nothing. I''d rather die. Sir, spare me, please!"


    Damon was almost about to cry. The red reagentpletely stimted Damon''s potential, bringing his body to the brink of copse. Every moment, Damon felt every pore of his body being stabbed, feeling like he was being bitten by snakes.


    It felt as if countless ants were crawling on Damon''s body, biting and tearing it apart. This kind of pain was something Damon had never experienced before. At that moment, all he wished for was the sweet release of death.


    The man in the ck robe turned and left, a slight smirk forming at the corner of his mouth as he said, "After tomorrow night, you will thank me, Damon. Just hold on one more day, and you will be a true powerhouse."


    With those words, the man in the ck robe ignored Damon and slowly left the training room.


    Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Aidementon''s western city, in a river, Demetra stood in the water, tightly gripping a katana as he continuously shed at the surface, causing it to explode with loud sounds.


    A voice kept ringing in Demetra''s mind, ''Kill Wilbur. He deserves to die. Everything happened because of him. He tore you and Miyah apart!''


    "Aahhhhhh!"


    Demetra looked up and let out a cry of pain. Then, he continued swinging his sword, sending waves of destructive sword energy crashing onto the surface of the water.


    Sshes rose up like rain and fell back into the water. Demetra kept shaking his head, saying, "I can''t... Wilbur saved my life. I can''t kill him!"


    "If you won''t kill Wilbur, then you will die!"


    At that moment, a voice came from behind. Demetra turned to see a man in a white robe standing on the shore. It was Bari.


    A cold gleam shed in Demetra''s eyes as he asked, "Who are you?"


    Bari replied, "It doesn''t matter who I am. What matters is that you have lost your right to live in this world."


    With that, Bari condensed ck energy in his right hand, then suddenly unleashed a powerful punch towards Demetra. At the same time, Demetra swung his sword, releasing a sword energy that was infused with the power of destruction.


    The sword energy and the fist aura collided with a resounding explosion. Then, both energies dissipated simultaneously.
