Edmund coughed twice as he got to his feet and looked at Botani. "Yes, I am one. I just didn''t think you''d be so powerful. I don''t think I''d be able to beat you on my own even if I was a dragon n cultivator!"


    "Hahaha!" Botani threw his head back andughed. "You''re not wrong, Edmund. Forget being my match on your own. You wouldn''t be able to take me on even if you teamed up with this guy."


    "You''re pretty cocky," Wilbur said coldly. "Do you really think you can beat us?"


    Botani sneered, then said, "A dragon n cultivator will never be a true elite until he learns the secret of the dragon n. Until then, you''re nothing to me. You two are nothing to me! I guess it really is time for Buck Town to get a new lord."


    Upon saying the words, the energy aura on Botani''s body surged outward like a tidal wave, forcing Wilbur and Edmund several steps backward.


    "What energy is this?" asked Wilbur.


    Edmund warned, "Watch out. Botani cultivated the dimensionws of dark space. He''s far more powerful than I am. It''s been said that he''s already learned the essence of it... I guess that rumor was true."


    "What''s the essence of aw?"


    "The ability to master aw is called aw essence. Most cultivators can only cultivate a certain way, but it''s almost impossible for them to learn its essence. People who know the essence of thews are far more powerful than any regr cultivator. Thus, I wouldn''t be able to defeat Botani even if I had the same level of energy aura as him and had my full strength."


    Wilbur was shocked by Edmund''s exnation. He had not expected Botani to be so powerful. "What are we going to do now?"


    "Fight to the death, of course!" Edmund gritted his teeth. "Botani might know the essence of the dark space, but you and I are both dragon n cultivators. Unless he''s some kind of crazy genius, he won''t be able to predict the speed and strength of our attacks. Maybe we could win that way."


    "Sounds like a n!" Wilbur nodded. "How do we go about this?"


    "I''m going to count to three, and we''ll both go for it."


    "One, two, three-attack!"


    Just as the words rang through the air, Wilbur and Edmund''s figures turned into a blur as they charged toward Botani at high speed.


    Botani smirked. "You fools. I''m going to make you pay!"


    Upon huffing those words, he muttered a spell. A powerful energy aura spread out, and its pressure forced Wilbur and Edmund to show themselves as the air around them turned into two ck cubes.


    The two ck cubes continued to expand and contract. However, the energy in the cubes was soon held down as one of them stopped moving.


    The other cube continued to expand and contract, but eventually also stopped moving as an endless amount of energy poured into it.
