Inside the Eliza Sect, an early-stage true immortal elder was overcome with shock when he witnessed their founder's bloodied face.
"Eliza is injured! How is this even possible?"
Terror began to grip the Eliza Sect's practitioners as they realized that their ancestor was facing an unexpected and unprecedented defeat. Many of the age-old practitioners within the sect had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet that was their first time witnessing such an occasion! Everyone was shocked.
It was unimaginable to think that an ancient true immortal like Eliza would be at a disadvantage against a true immortal. The Eliza Sect's reputation as one of the top five powers in the devil realm rested on the might of their Eliza, who had up until then succeeded in suppressing all his enemies.
The true immortal elder's horrified exclamation did not sit well with one of the perfect-stage half-immortal elders from the Eliza Sect. The latter had a fanatical admiration for Eliza, and he shook his head before saying, "Do not doubt our founder's invincibility! It's clear that he is simply pretending to be weak! He will defeat that intruder in less than a hundred moves! I am sure of it!"
The true immortal elder snapped to his senses and nodded vigorously. "You're right! A late-stage true immortal is no match for him! We need only wait for our founder to secure victory!"
High above them, Eliza's expression contorted with rage. Licking the blood from his lips, he felt turbulent waves of shock coursing through his heart while horror began to seep into his eyes.
After several exchanges with Severin, he found himself quickly losing the upper hand and sustaining unprecedented injuries. Even more baffling to him was Severin's monstrous resilience and surging power that rivalled that of a quasi-royal celestial. Severin's mastery of the space-time path and possession of the celestial weapon was already shocking enough—the scalp-numbing combat prowess that Severin displayed only made the situation more dire.
Without any further thought, he immediately abandoned his plan to seize the treasure from Severin and uncover Severin's secrets. He began to retreat and shifted to a defensive stance.
