Upon that thought, Wilbur conjured a small ck dagger in his palm through his will. A soft rip could be heard as the dagger made a cut on the sphere. With the power of destruction infused into the dagger, Wilbur shed with great force, cutting open a foot-long gash on the sphere.


    The sphere seemed to have sensed his action and started to roll rapidly. It rolled across the vast grasnd, speeding along like a tumbleweed in the wind.


    The strange creature nned to knock Wilbur unconscious with the hard stones on the grasnd, then digest him. However, Wilbur gripped the dagger and found an opportunity to escape after some observation. He cut open the sphere and suddenly lunged outward from within, freeing himself.


    Wilbur watched as the rolling sphere came to a stop hundreds of meters away. Suddenly, the sphere swiftly rolled back toward him at high speed as though it had


    noticed his presence.


    "Good," Wilbur muttered.


    The Magic Dragon de was in his grasp with the flick of his right wrist. ck energy enveloped the de as he watched the sphere rapidly approaching. Filled with hatred, Wilbur roared and charged forward. He instantly swung the Magic Dragon de in his hand, bringing it down with a powerful strike.


    The ck de energy bisected the sphere, and the two halves rolled past Wilbur to each of his sides. After that, the two halves of the sphere merged together once more. Green goo wriggled around until it gradually fused and condensed into the shape of a man.


    The man turned around to look at Wilbur and said, "You''re pretty impressive. I can''t believe you possess the power of destruction. I think you know that nothing can go against me aside from the power of destruction as I''m almost invincible. I can spare your life if you surrender now."


    "Never," replied Wilbur.


    "Then prepare to die!" the man yelled.


    He moved swiftly and appeared in front of Wilbur. Wilbur was grabbed by the neck, and the man lifted Wilbur off the ground with his right hand.


    "Die!" Wilbur yelled as he pierced the man''s chest with his weapon, and the power of destruction erupted from within. However, the man did not explode. Instead, his chest liquefied and turned into green goo, continuously absorbing the power of destruction that Wilbur unleashed.


    "How did..." Wilbur tried to ask.


    However, he felt the grip on his throat tightening, which made it impossible to speak. The man smirked slightly as he asked, "You wanted to ask how I suddenly became stronger, didn''t you? I think you should''ve figured it out by now. It''s true that I''ve absorbed the power of destruction you unleashed. All that dark energy will be absorbed by me, ultimately transforming into my energy. Unfortunately, you''re a little toote to realize this, kid. You''re the most powerful lower dimension cultivator I''ve encountered. But now, it''s all over for you."


    Wilbur finally realized how he could defeat the man at that moment. He smirked and asked, "Oh yeah? Have you ever absorbed a different kind of power?"
