Chapter 676 - (1/2) Unwilling Evil Duo

The faces of the Elders who were about to explode changed as they heard these two aged voices, and their demeanor mellowed greatly. They all rose to their feet and bowed subserviently, shouting:

"Sect Master Dongfang w.a.n.g/Grand Elder Tuo Fan/etc greets the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor!"

The disciples were scared s.h.i.+tless and also jumped to their feet, bowing in greeting to the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor.

Only Draco and Eva remained standing calmly with nonchalant expressions, as if they weren't much impressed. They couldn't be blamed, as even with the Floor's various rules, they could still snuff the Sect Master and all those before them with ease.

"Hehe, brat. Aren't you going to quickly kneel down and greet me as your master?" The male voice spoke out casually, seeming amused by the Evil Duo's defiance.

"No way. You feel it too, don't you, Old Dragon? These two brats will never submit given their talent and background. Let's give them a reason to." The female voice insidiously sounded out as she cackled wickedly.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, two old hermits with bent backs and squinty eyes appeared, floating above the hall with ease. The male cultivator on the right had messy gray hair and a face covered with wrinkles. He wore a black robe with dragon scales all over it, the motif of a dragon embossed on the pristine keratin.

The female cultivator on the left had silky gray hair that was tied into a bun, with two frills on either side of her face. She, too, was extremely wrinkled and squinted through narrow eyes. She wore a white robe with phoenix feathers all over it, the motif of a phoenix painted across the s.h.i.+ny vane.

When they appeared like this, the entire crowd gazed in awe, feeling their Martial Spirits tremble deeply at the sight of this imposing duo.

Draco and Eva's expressions changed as they finally got a taste of power from these two Old Ancestors.

"Not good!"

"Flee!"

The two of them roared and tried to escape using their Martial Spirits, but the two old farts cackled like malevolent spirits.

"Hehe, lad and la.s.s, after making us old fogies come out of our self-imposed exile, you really think we'll just watch you run away?" The Dragon Ancestor giggled as he opened his squinted eyes to reveal two black pupils that had a red dot at the center.

Apart from looking incredibly intimidating, it also had the effect of releasing a bright red beam that lanced towards Draco's back.

Draco turned around to block, yet he was blasted into the wall, creating a huge dent as he spat out a gob of blood.

Eva's face changed greatly. "Draco!"

"Kekeke, pretty little girl, you should worry about yourself first." The sinister voice of the Phoenix Ancestor appeared behind Eva, making her heart stop.

She turned and fired a beam of light behind her, yet it was casually captured by the Phoenix Ancestor and tossed to the side. The wall it connected with was vaporized into ash by UV, Microwave, and Infrared energies contained within Eva's light.

The Phoenix Ancestor nodded with praise. "Not bad girl, to come this far in Light Energy with just this is quite impressive. Unfortunately, it is not enough."

The Phoenix Ancestor raised a finger and released a white beam of light that looked no different from Eva's, but it struck the Celestial Beauty right on the chest and blasted her into a row of seats.

Eva could barely stand up as she clutched her chest and continued to spit out gobs of blood. She glared at the Phoenix Ancestor with fear and anger, not understanding how her light could be so easily overcome.

Draco tore himself out of the wall and saw how hurt Eva was. Rage filled his mind as he roared. "Old farts, die for me!"

Without holding back, he fired out the greatest flow of Destruction Energy he possessed, wanting to wipe out these two old s.h.i.+ts, this entire world, and even the entire Tower!

However, Draco was left speechless when the Dragon Ancestor bathed in the Destruction Energy, removing soap and a sponge as he scrubbed himself down while humming.

The energy became polluted and dissipated, just as the Dragon Ancestor re-wore his robe before anyone could glimpse his wretched form.

The Phoenix Ancestor who was beside him showed an expression of disgust. "Old s.h.i.+t, can you be more imposing? Are you telling me all these years you never bathed once?!"

The refreshed looked Dragon Ancestor seemed a bit confused as to why he was being chastised. "Wasn't it you who said we should enter seclusion to preserve our lifespan and not take a single step out?"

"I said you know what, I did say that, but you should have known that I didn't mean it THAT literally!" The Phoenix Ancestor replied with exasperation.

"Hehe, anyway, thanks for that boy. No amount of water or Light Energy would have cleansed my body that thoroughly. Some of that grime has been there for millennia." The Dragon Ancestor shamelessly revealed with a crooked smile.

Draco sighed and walked over to pick up Eva, who had recovered already. The Evil Duo stood side by side and shared an uncertain look before kneeling.

"D-draco greets Master!"

"Eva tsk greets Master!"

The two of them spat out their submission through clenched teeth, clearly unwilling but unable to fight back. This was different from Draco's relations.h.i.+p with Richmond.

From the onset, Draco had made it clear to Richmond that their relations.h.i.+p would be in the form of a transaction, an exchange of mutual benefits. Draco would break the balance of the game, earning Richmond sick rewards, while he would benefit from the Rank 7 Heraldry and the geezer's protection.

Simple.

Richmond teaching him Subjective Magic had never been part of their deal, and it was not like he had done that out of some goodwill or anything. No, he had simply done that, so that Draco wouldn't get poached by Nakiu, since that would be the end of his freebies.

If Richmond had a choice, why the f.u.c.k would he have chosen a swordsman to inherit the t.i.tle of Mage G.o.d? Did that even make sense?

However, this one here was a true Master-Disciple relations.h.i.+p. In other words, the arrogant Evil Duo who had stomped on the heads of everyone they had met so far had finally gotten their own heads stomped on, and it wasn't a great feeling.

In this set of floors, the ceiling of cultivation was supposed to be the Integration realm. Here, you would merge with your Martial Spirit fully and be able to physically and biologically transform into it.

Their parents had been at the early stage of this realm, and they had given Draco and Eva vibes of high-level Rank 6 NPCs, especially the Sect Master and Grand Elder who were also at the same realm.

At Rank 3, Draco and Eva could kill anything within their Rank in seconds unless their target had unholy amounts of HP like the Sentinels. They could kill anything at Rank 4 in less than a minute and could kill anything at Rank 5 at 70% of their full power.

At 100% of their current full power, they could probably beat an early Rank 6 to death, hence their arrogance. However, these two Old Ancestors gave Draco and Eva the feeling that they had surpa.s.sed the Integration Realm, because they gave off vibes of Rank 7 beings!

Not just any Rank 7 beings, but t.i.tled G.o.ds like Richmond!

That was why they had immediately realized their mistake and tried to escape, but it was futile. They had been easily subdued, and the discrepancy in power had been made abundantly clear.

The Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors cackled wickedly at the Evil Duo who had been forced to submit for the first time in this timeline.

"Bwehehe, why so reluctant brats? Do you know how many would crawl beneath our feet just to enjoy an incense stick of guidance? Then again, if you were willing, this wouldn't be as worthwhile."

The Old Ancestor Duo grabbed at Draco and Eva, disappearing with them.

"We'll be taking our new disciples to start their training. Do whatever you want." With that said, they disappeared.

The Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Elders were simply left speechless by the events that had occured, while the disciples were kinda inspired. Hearing Draco and Eva talk however they wanted because they were strong motivated them to do better.

Hehe, wouldn't it be nice to also face slap the Elders when they became powerhouses?

Draco and Eva reappeared in the castle with ugly expressions. The moment they had been grabbed, the floor began to dissipate as they had completed the objective.

However, having bowed down of their own accord made them feel like they had eaten a truckload of s.h.i.+t.

"Tsk, at least the floor details don't carry over, so we'll never have to see that disgusting couple ever again!" Draco muttered with unhappiness.

"Hmph, just wait until we reach the pinnacle of power using this set of floor's system. No matter what, I will return to teach that old wretch a lesson for sure!" Eva cursed with a red face.

"Hehe, good idea babe! I'll make sure to slowly break the legs of that old freak. How dare he use my Destruction Energy to bathe?!" Draco stated while harboring a malicious grin.

Draco and Eva cackled together, picturing the future where they get their revenge. Ah, what a bright and beautiful future it was

In order to make it a reality, they hurried into the next floor, the 34th one. When they materialized, they noticed that they were seated on two meditation mats in a dimly lit cave that smelled like old people.

What made the two of them freeze from mind, to body, to soul was that they were seated opposite a widely grinning Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor.

"Bwehehe! Brats, why do you look so flabbergasted? Did you expect something different to happen?"
