"The seal broke?! How could it be?" Elvian muttered in surprise.

    Watching how Zar broke the impasse, much less Elvian, all the other five overlords, including Lazo, were shocked.

    One had to know that even an overlord couldn’t overrule the plane arena.

    Without the strength or ability that surpassed that of the Aeon Plane, it was impossible.

    "It seems Zar already digested that treasure..." Lazo muttered.

    "Treasure? What treasure are you talking about?"

    To be able to break the rules of the arena, a mere ultimate treasure wasn’t enough.

    "It’s a Plane-level treasure."

    "Plane-level treasure?!"

    Feeling shocked, they couldn’t help but look greedily at Zar.

    "I advise you to put away those thoughts. It’s impossible to get this treasure."@@@@

    "Why? What do you know?" they asked in puzzlement.

    This was a chance to get a Plane-level treasure, a treasure beyond the Aeon Plane.

    "That Zar is protected by the Aeon Plane."

    Hibernating for trillions of epochs, a part of Zar’s origin was already laced with the essence of the Aeon Plane.

    Wanting to snatch something from Zar was no different than digging into the origin of the Aeon Plane.

    "Is that so?"

    Although they were greedy, they knew better.

    Deducing the matter, they confirmed they couldn’t touch Zar.

    If they did, although the Aeon Plane couldn’t directly kill them, it could expel them to the Chaotic Void.

    Remembering the Dark Beasts eyeing their plane, being kicked out was the same as being sent to their deaths.

    "By the way, how do you know Zar possesses a Plane-level treasure?"

    If not for Lazo, they wouldn’t even know Zar possessed such a heaven-defying treasure.

    "Of course, because half of it is with me."

    "Half? You also possess a Plane-level treasure?!"

    Feeling shocked, they looked at Lazo with fear and greed.

    Now, they understood why Lazo was so strong that he was in another dimension.

    His growth was so out of this world that he reached the overlord realm just by sleeping.

    "Yes, each half of the Plane-level treasure is with me and Zar," Lazo admitted straightforwardly.

    "Bad luck! Escape!"

    Seeing the insignia of the Shadowcrest family, they felt both awe and fear.

    "So timid?"

    Seeing them run like rabbits, Maximus couldn’t help but shake his head.

    The Shadowcrest family was famous for its benevolence—how could it induce such fear?

    "It must be those brats!" Maximus concluded, thinking of his children.

    As for his wives, they were so gentle—how could others fear them?

    Meanwhile, remembering their reaction, Maximus thought his family was close by.

    "It seems they got into the center before me."

    The center of the competition ground was a vast stone wasteland.

    With nowhere to hide and run, one could roughly see any enemy around the periphery.

    [32,392,832/1,000,000,000]

    Looking at the counter, the clock for the competition was nearing its end.

    As he continued to walk, there were fewer and fewer enemies on the road.

    Apparently, the news that a lone member of the Shadowcrest family was nearby had already spread.

    As for warning and suppressing Maximus, it didn’t cross their minds.

    Although the Shadowcrest family didn’t have the same suppressing strength as Zar, they were too cunning.

    One time, when they planned an ambush, what they met was a trap.

    A trap that killed hundreds of thousands like a clap of thunder.

    Wanting to stay as far away from these devils as possible, Maximus marched to the center unimpeded.

    As the day passed, Maximus suddenly noticed a few people tailing him.

    "Come out, your camouflage is too poor. You can only deceive a few ignorant ones."

    "Father, can’t you pretend a little?"

    "Too boring; you should at least let us attack you!"

    "Our husband is still as sharp as ever~"

    "There’s no visible injury. It seems Maximus didn’t encounter any danger."

    Looking at his family slowly walking towards him, Maximus couldn’t help but smile.

    "I’m back..."
