<h4>Chapter 2238: Chapter 2238: ck Cloud Presses Down on the City</h4>


    "When I am here, I am everywhere."


    "Skilid City is me, and I am Skilid City!"


    The voice of Pranay Martinez echoed continuously.


    "Uh!"


    From the Blood Sea, a Heavenly Gang suddenly sprang out.


    With one hand gripping a knife, he roared as he shed towards Julius Reed!


    Immediately, the first, the second...


    Countless figures leapt out from the Blood Sea!


    They had long since be one with the Blood Sea.


    Julius Reed closed his eyes and plunged the Break Sky Knife into the ground beneath him.


    Boom!


    An aura of dark ck waves surrounded him.


    Within the one-meter diameter circle under Julius Reed’s feet, the ground still remained normal.


    But soon, this area was also eroded by blood.


    Skilid City is Pranay Martinez, and Pranay Martinez is Skilid City.


    The two were indistinguishable.


    A ck light column floated above the blood, akin to a solitary boat in the night.


    Crack!


    The Heavenly Gang’s de stood on the ck light, but was rebounded.


    The attacks of others were simrly deflected by the light column.


    These people fell back into the Blood Sea and disappeared once again.


    Julius Reed sat cross-legged within the ck light column, continuously rising and falling in the Blood Sea.


    People continuously jumped out of the Blood Sea, wildly hacking at the light column, but to no avail.


    The protective shield formed by the Break Sky Knife and Evil Qi seemed to perfectly restrain these vengeful souls.


    Turning all of the Heavenly Gang Earth Devil’s attacks into futile efforts.


    Whoosh!


    A huge wave surged up from the Blood Sea.


    A human figure slowly formed.


    "Julius Reed, the Break Sky Knife is a good thing. If Jesse River hadn’t calcted the location of this knife back then, it wouldn’t have ended up in your hands."


    The features of the silhouette began to be clear.


    It was Pranay Martinez!


    At this moment, Pranay Martinez stood above the Blood Sea, as numerous Heavenly Gang Earth Devils slowly crawled out of the blood beside him.


    The castle had disappeared.


    As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but an endless Blood Sea.


    "Julius Reed, aren’t you formidable? Why cower within there? Come out and fight me."


    Pranay Martinez raised his hand, gathering a sword forged from blood in his palm.


    The sword carried a destructive aura, pointing at Julius Reed: "Come out and duel me."


    But inside, Julius Reed seemed not to hear, still sitting cross-legged.


    Expressionless.


    But at this moment, the world in his eyes was already different from reality.


    This ethereal state was an innate trait of his.


    As long as he began meditating, everything around him would be visible with absolute rity.


    And it was real.


    Unaffected by illusions.


    In the vast city, there were rolling heads everywhere.


    It couldn’t be called a castle but a true mortal world hell.


    A huge tower in the center was already piled with heads.


    Blood formed a protective moat, filled with floating severed limbs.


    Julius Reed looked up towards the spire.


    There, hung a dead man.


    These scenes were familiar to Julius Reed.


    On the Dusty tform, he had seen such a Skilid City.


    But the difference was, back then, the spire had been empty.


    Other ces were basically the same.


    At this point, the person hanging from the spire, with a drooping head, was already dead.


    A closer look revealed to Julius Reed that he finally understood the situation before him.


    There, was Pranay Martinez!


    At the top of the tower was the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs and the Seventy-Two Earth Devils.


    Going further down, it was likely the citizens of Pranay Martinez from back then.


    The topmost position was reserved for the City Lord.


    But many years ago, the City Lord left.


    Abandoning Skilid City, surviving alone.


    Even though Pranay Martinez recreated the Heavenly Gang and Earth Devil ording to its former scale, the people weren’t the same.


    Some things were different in their very essence.


    After dying once, Pranay Martinez reconsidered.


    Ultimately, he chose to be with his brothers.


    He became Skilid City, allowing the dead Heavenly Gang Earth Devils to live again.


    But those living were merely puppets.


    The Heavenly Gang Earth Devil’s souls hadn’t dispersed, relying on others’ bodies, just like the demons and ghostsing out of the temple.


    A revenant.


    Pranay Martinez became the city, ruling everything within.


    Became the true City Lord.


    Julius Reed was inside Pranay Martinez, and really fighting back, the odds were low.


    Moreover, he couldn’t hold Pranay Martinez down.


    To genuinely trap Pranay Martinez, he had to leave this ce.


    The surrounding blood waves were overwhelming, no exits were visible.


    Catch the king to catch the thief.


    Julius Reed decided to knock down Pranay Martinez from the spire.


    Affecting the body would certainly trouble Skilid City.


    Even if it didn’t, Pranay Martinez couldn’t just sit by.


    If he wanted out, he needed this body.


    "Master, you have disappointed me. The master in my heart isn’t like this." Pranay Martinez, like a giant, stood within the Blood Sea, angrily berating: "Is it a woman that softened your bones?"


    "Or was it this chaotic world that scared the courage out of you!"


    Boom!


    As he finished speaking, he fiercely shed down with his blood sword!


    ng!


    A muffled sound rang out.


    The blood sword shattered.


    And the ck light also began to destabilize.


    "Hiss..." Pranay Martinez sucked in a breath, gathering another blood sword in his hand.


    The speed was slow, but the power, very ferocious!


    But just then, the ck light under Julius Reed’s feet began to burst!


    An extremely strong force pierced through the Blood Sea, flying towards the sky.


    Within the ck light, Julius Reed extended his hands, staring intently at the spire.


    "Hmm?" Pranay Martinez frowned slightly, but suddenly realized something was seriously wrong!


    "Scatter!"


    He shouted.


    The figures condensed from the Blood Sea directly copsed!


    The rest of the Heavenly Gang Earth Devils quickly vanished.


    Boom!


    A muffled sound.


    Just as Julius Reed was about to reach the spire.


    The Blood Sea raised a monstrous wave!


    Pranay Martinez appeared once more.


    He raised his hand to block Julius Reed.


    Boom!


    After the collision, the ck light around Julius Reed dissipated.


    He grasped the Break Sky Knife, hovering in the air.


    And before him, above that vast sea, there was indeed a tower.


    A tower invisible to outsiders.


    Looking normally, it seemed empty there.


    But under Julius Reed’s perception, the Tower of ughter was exposed clearly.


    "Almost, you almost outwitted me." Pranay Martinez, with a hint of triumph in his tone: "But unfortunately, this entire domain is mine. I can appear anytime, you can’t defeat me."


    As his words fell, several Heavenly Gangs, wielding sharp des, appeared beneath Julius Reed!


    Charging forward!


    Swish!


    Julius Reed shed with his knife!


    Destroying the Heavenly Gangs along with their weapons entirely.


    But immediately afterward, those Heavenly Gangs reappeared.


    "See? In my domain, they are immortal. Immortality means you will exhaust yourself. Exhaustion means you will die." Pranay Martinezughed loudly: "Five thousand years. I finally found a way to kill you!"


    "Do you really think this is a dead end?" Julius Reed chuckled, pointing to the sky: "The Blood Sea is overwhelming, but now, I will dim it."


    Rumble!


    The originally scarlet sky was suddenly filled with the sounds of thunder.


    Immediately afterward, dark clouds gathered, and the sky darkened.
