The several individuals before Daniel had already been alive for thousands of years.
Additionally, they had gained immense power through their understanding of the Five Elements treasures.
Although the preparation time was a bit short, the killing blows aimed at Daniel were more than sufficient.
Two magic arrays, two layers of assurance.
The first was an ancient forbidden curse, and if it failed to kill Daniel, the second layer, a teleportation magic array, would activate instantaneously.
By then, even if Daniel possessed some divine powers, he would fall into their trap, unable to escape.
“What a pity… If we had more time, we could have prepared more,” one of them lamented.
Based on their calculations, even though Daniel was immensely powerful, he was ultimately relying on the protection of the world itself.
Furthermore, he could not exceed the world’s limits.
But each of these five individuals wielded the power of rule that was far beyond the capacity of this world.
Once Daniel lost the protection of the world, they were confident that with their power of rule, defeating him would be effortless.
“Let us toast to our victory!”
“Cheers!”
The group raised their glasses, ready to share a drink.
But just as they were about to take a sip, the entire secret realm suddenly trembled violently.
Each of them froze in place, their hands shaking, nearly spilling the drink in their glasses.
“What’s going on?”
“Could it be that Daniel has arrived?”
“The whole secret realm is shaking! It’s definitely him!”
Before they could respond, Daniel’s cold face appeared before them. His eyes radiated a murderous intent.
“Are you… drinking wine?” Daniel’s cold voice echoed, like thunder in their ears.
Before they could react, Daniel appeared beside a burly man.
The man was about to resist, but to his shock, he realized he couldn’t move at all.
The world’s rule was instantly imposed on him, rendering him completely immobile.
Then, the glass and its contents were smashed directly into his face.
The glass shattered completely, falling to the ground.
The burly man felt deep humiliation. The wine and the broken glass didn’t harm him, but the shame of it was something that couldn’t be erased.
At that moment, the power of rule surged within him, immediately breaking free from the world’s rule that Daniel had imposed.
The burly man’s rule came from a higher God Realm, which gave him the ability to suppress the world’s rule.
He had been caught off guard earlier, but now he was ready for action.
He swung a massive fist at Daniel, filled with boundless rage.
Simultaneously, the other four, using their Five Elements Rules, broke free from Daniel’s hold and began attacking him.
Daniel first blocked the burly man’s punch, then grabbed it, using his body as a battering ram to sweep across the others. The overwhelming power of the world’s rule surged out, pushing them all back.
The burly man, feeling his life was at risk, shouted in anger, “What about the forbidden spell? Did it not work?”
Hadn’t they planned to use the forbidden spell first to suppress and see if it could directly kill Daniel? If that didn’t work, they were supposed to teleport him away.
Yet now, he was being used as a human battering ram, and nothing had happened!
With a roar, Daniel replied coldly, “The killing formation?”
Daniel’s hand shot out, grabbing the burly man’s head and slamming it violently into the ground.
“I’ll see for myself how you plan to kill me!” Daniel sneered.
With that, he stomped down on the burly man’s head, driving it deep into the ground.
His eyes swept over the others, as though sizing up his next target.
The others didn’t respond to the burly man’s question, because as soon as Daniel had entered, they had already activated the forbidden magic array.
But… nothing happened.
The magic array had no effect whatsoever, and in fact, it made them wonder if they had even properly set up the array.
After checking, they realized the array was indeed set up and had even been successfully triggered.
But why had it failed?
The reason was simple—Daniel had detected the magic array the moment it activated and destroyed it immediately.
The ancient magic array they had painstakingly prepared didn’t achieve any real effect.
At that moment, they realized just how incredibly powerful the world’s rule was in Daniel’s hands.
He wielded it as if it were limitless.
It seemed like Daniel was the very embodiment of the world itself.
This was utterly absurd!
Realizing this, the five of them had no choice but to resort to Plan B.
“Run! Get out of here!” one of them shouted.
“Trying to escape?” Daniel immediately appeared in front of the entrance, blocking their way.
However, Daniel had not anticipated that this was just a decoy.
In reality, the five of them were using this opportunity to mask the fluctuations of their teleportation magic array.
Daniel’s interference had given them the perfect moment to activate the array.
At that instant, the Lord of Element Temple smiled with satisfaction and said, “Daniel, you’ve fallen for our trap!”
In an instant, six figures disappeared without a trace, vanishing from the world entirely.
They had left the world, stepping into the void beyond it.
“Daniel, your arrogance will be your downfall! Today, your pride will cost you your life!” said the chief of Dragonscale Bank, his body radiating the powerful rule of water.
“Indeed… you… will die!” the burly man, who had been stomped into the ground, growled from beneath a mask of blood and bruises.
The Five Elements Rule flowed from all five of them, as they stood in positions that formed a subtle formation.
The Five Elements Formation!
Utilizing their Five Elements Rule, they had created a magic array. The five rules of the elements were interwoven, continuously circulating. The power of the five elements formed an unstoppable cycle.
At this moment, Daniel had completely lost the protection of the world’s rule.
His immense power had been significantly weakened, leaving only a faint trace of tier-sage strength.
That paltry strength would not be enough to stand against the combined might of the five.
The Five Elements Formation was designed to grind Daniel down to nothing.
It could easily obliterate him.
This was a power far beyond the scope of the world’s Five Elements Rule!
In the world, they were constrained by its limitations, unable to fully unleash their potential. But here, in the void beyond the world, they could use their full strength!
“You are finished!” they declared in unison.
Daniel, now at their mercy, stood silently, his expression cold and indifferent.
“This… is the grave you have chosen for yourself, is it?” Daniel asked, his voice calm yet tinged with amusement.
“Daniel, you can’t escape now! Today, the world will be rid of you! You, who once believed yourself above everything, will fall here,” one of them jeered.
Daniel’s eyes narrowed as he took in the approaching formation, a smile slowly curving across his lips.
“Is that so?” he said, his voice almost imperceptible.
