The gnome's eyes sparkled as he looked at the Ancient Spatial Fruit in his hands with boundless wonder.
Austin, on the other hand, felt a pang of pain and heart break within him, since this special item cost him more than half of his treasures.
However, realizing that the gnome needed the fruit desperately, he decided that letting go of the treasures was for the best. He hoped that this would help the gnome tremendously in his cultivation.
"Brat, I will give you one more chance. Hand the Ancient Spatial Fruit over to me and I will forgive your rude actions.
If you don't give it to me, I will make you regret being born."
Darby of the Ghostdom narrowed his eyes at Austin threateningly. He was badly holding back his anger.
All the other living creatures in various universes would cower at the mere sight of him. After all, he was a member of the Tomber race.
This brazen young man in front of him, however, had the gall to defy him!
"You know what? I always hate flies the most. They're very annoying."
Austin was not about to back down to this creature. He sneered scornfully and stared back at him.
"How many earth immortals do they have in their team? Do you think we can get rid of them once we engage?"
Using his spiritual sense, Austin consulted the Heavenly Majestic Pot.
"After absorbing that drop of Divine Liquid, I think I can manage to withstand the attack of one earth immortal.
If you use your Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor, we might be able to get away with the Space Ship,"
the Heavenly Majestic Pot answered.
Austin had managed to extort two drops of Divine Liquid from the leader of the Space Sect before. The Heavenly Majestic Pot had successfully integrated with one of them, which helped its strength increase sharply.
"Good!"
This confirmation removed Austin's worries.
"Ha-ha! You are really good."
Darby viciously smiled when he did not hear any response from Austin.
The earth immortals surrounding Darby confidently knew that by crossing Darby, Austin would surely die. They sneered at his audacity to think he had the upper hand.
"Hey, let me ask you a question. Are participants allowed to take lives in this city?"
Darby asked as he turned to the shop attendant.
"Well... Technically speaking, killing is allowed. It is part of the trial as well.
But I don't appreciate you guys causing a ruckus in this area. You'll be scaring away all our precious customers!"
The shop attendant gestured them to farther from where they were situated.
"I see."
With that, Darby walked out of the herb shop without looking back. He stood on the street, facing the entrance of the shop. He closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.
Along with him were the four earth immortals who released their energies. As they did so, four streaks of energy spread and filled the entire street.
"What's going on?"
Their display of power caught the attention of some nearby creatures. They came closer and gathered around to see what was going on.
'Oh my gosh! He is a core member of the Tomber race from the Ghostdom!'
The creatures had their mouth agape. They all had similar thoughts in their minds, they couldn't believe that they were in the presence of a powerful race.
'The Tomber race is rare. However, despite having only a few members, rumor has it that each of them has the potential to reach the Divine Realm.
The number of core members of the Tomber race is even smaller—there is only a few of them.
But each of them is absolutely remarkable and is better than most of their peers!' The crowd observed Darby from head to toe. They were fortunate to come across a core member from the Tomber race.
Although Darby felt the creatures all around were inspecting him, he paid them no mind. He stayed there, with his eyes closed and his arms folded.
The four earth immortals beside him, however, had their gaze maliciously fixed upon Austin, as if they were ready to pounce on him at any given time.
Even the throng of people felt the murderous aura emanating from Darby and his companions.
"Who the hell dares to mess with the member of the Tomber race from the Ghostdom? Does he have a death wish?"
"Whoever has the balls to provoke the Tomber race is either from a powerful force or a fool who is not in his right senses."
"He's dealing with four earth immortals and a core member of the Tomber race. Even if this guy is an important figure, I don't think he will be able to be their match."
The creatures that swarmed towards them started exchanging whispers and murmurs. Intrigued, they were curious to know how this fight would unfold.
Inside the herb shop, Austin could see clearly what was happening on the street.
"Master, are you sure you can handle them?"
