Chapter 018: Moses’ Breakthrough

“Haha, Naixiu, let’s try it again!” Du Fan said with a smile.
As soon as he smiled, Du Fan leaped forward—after just a few jumps, he was already three hundred meters away.
He smiled at Naixiu once more, and in that instant, she suddenly felt her whole body tighten, then she was lifted by some force! Her vision blurred immediately.
When her eyes cleared again, she was shocked to find Du Fan right in front of her!
Looking at where Du Fan stood, it was obvious that it wasn’t Du Fan who had moved—it was her.
“Du Fan, what kind of domain is this?” Naixiu asked, trying to understand this strange phenomenon.
“I call it a space transfer domain. Within its range, I can move objects at will,” Du Fan replied with a smile.
“That sounds amazing!” Hearing Du Fan’s explanation, Naixiu immediately grasped the power of this domain.
In a fight, suddenly moving the opponent right beside oneself or appearing suddenly in front of the enemy—such tactics were truly hard to defend against!
As the two were discussing, a loud howl suddenly came from Moses’ direction!
Hearing Moses’ howl, Du Fan and Naixiu were instantly stunned. Could it be that Moses had also achieved a breakthrough? They exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing.
Upon hearing Moses’ howl, Du Fan and Naixiu quickly rushed to his side. Sure enough, Moses was standing on a small hill, looking refreshed.
“Brother Moses, don’t suddenly shout like that—it’s scary!” Du Fan said upon seeing him.
“Third brother, I feel like I’m just one last barrier away from the divine level!” Moses said excitedly when he saw Du Fan and Naixiu approaching.
“Congrats!” Du Fan said with a smile. “But brother, don’t get too excited yet. Back then, Second Leader Tek was also just one last barrier away from breaking through, but after so many years, he still couldn’t do it. In the end, he was called the man on the continent closest to a god—meaning he still wasn’t at the divine level.”

“Haha, Du Fan, look at you—aren’t you jealous? You should know that I’ve absorbed a divine essence. My little membrane is just a membrane formed by energy accumulation, not the kind related to Tek’s realm.” Moses said with a smile. “As long as my cultivation improves a bit more, I can break through this membrane.”
Hearing Moses say this, Du Fan kept nodding. Moses had traveled from the Dusk Mountains all the way to Siluo Province, and then further north.
Through the ultra-forbidden magic that suppressed the Earth Bear, he had exhausted all the energy in his body! As a result, the divine essence within Moses merged even faster!
With the divine essence merged, the understanding of the divine realm contained within it was naturally absorbed by Moses. Now that his understanding of the divine realm was complete, for Moses, breaking through to the divine realm was merely a matter of energy accumulation!
“Brother Moses, back then, Brother Bashar had his divine essence forcibly melted by three top divine-level experts. I think you’re just one step away. Should we think of a way to directly boost your cultivation too?” Du Fan suddenly remembered how the Dwarf King, the Grand Commander, and the Second Commander had forced Bashar’s cultivation to rise, and quickly voiced his idea.
“I don’t know if it’s possible, but we can give it a try,” Moses said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Moses sat down.
“My understanding has reached its limit; I just need enough energy to break through the final membrane. If you can lend me enough energy, I think I can break through that membrane right away,” Moses said with a smile.
As soon as Moses sat down, Du Fan and Naixiu quickly placed their hands on his head.
Soon, the energy from Du Fan and Naixiu flowed continuously into Moses’s body through his head. Once inside, this energy followed Moses’s own energy and began circulating throughout his body!
Soon, guided by the energy within Moses, Du Fan and Naixiu sensed an invisible barrier blocking the flow of energy among the three of them!
They also quickly sensed Moses’s own energy constantly crashing against that invisible membrane!
Realizing this, Du Fan and Naixiu immediately joined in, using their energy to strike at the membrane alongside Moses.

That thin membrane mentioned by Moses began to shake continuously under the impact of the three of them’ energy! To Du Fan’s feeling, this membrane was like an incredibly tough drumhead—no matter how hard Du Fan, Nai Xiu, and Moses struck it, apart from slight shaking, nothing else happened.

When the energy of all three was almost exhausted, Moses’ energy suddenly disappeared. Sensing Moses’ energy vanish, Du Fan and Nai Xiu quickly withdrew their hands from Moses’ head.

“It still doesn’t work!” Moses said, opening his eyes.

Under the continuous attacks from the three of them, that thin membrane had only suffered slight changes in its shape due to the impacts; nothing else had improved.

Seeing Moses looking extremely disheartened, Du Fan quickly tried to comfort him. “Brother, look, you and Nai Xiu are on the same starting line. Your current strength is far greater than Nai Xiu’s by a long shot.”

“Haha, that’s true. But as the emperor of the elf race, His Majesty can use the skills from the Elf King Set. Even if it were a true god-level expert fighting against our Elf Queen, I think it would be that unlucky god who gets defeated!”

As divine artifacts, the two sacred items of the elf races combined to form the Elf Set, granting skills that even gods had to approach with caution. The strange arrows produced by the Elf Set could easily slay gods!

“Nai Xiu, look, both my brother and I have made breakthroughs. You need to put in more effort in the upcoming battles!” Du Fan said jokingly as he looked at her.

It was hard to blame Nai Xiu. As an archer, under a magic like Earth’s Roar, she could only suppress its effects by shooting arrows imbued with her own energy one after another at the source of the magic.

In such a situation, there was no time for her to get exhausted.

As the three joked and walked, they returned to the camp. Once there, they went to sleep in their prepared tents.

Early the next morning, George came looking for them. At this time, it couldn’t even be called early morning, as it was still dark!

“Third brother, my army is ready and just waiting for you all,” George said excitedly as soon as he saw Du Fan.

“Naixiu, you’re truly amazing! You broke through the defensive walls of the Bear Kingdom with just one arrow. This time, please shoot a few more arrows for us!” George said enthusiastically upon seeing Naixiu.
“Don’t worry, big brother! I’ll definitely do my best,” Naixiu replied quickly.
Seeing Naixiu’s agreement, George said, “Alright, then let’s attack the Leopard Kingdom now.”
After saying that, Allen turned and left, and upon seeing George’s action, the three of them quickly followed him out.
It was still night at this time. George suddenly launched an attack in the darkness, clearly aiming to catch his opponent off guard!
That night was a good one for the defenders of Leopard City. Over the past few days, the armies of the Gavin Empire below the city had, for some reason, stopped attacking for several consecutive days, reducing the pressure on these defenders significantly!
With less pressure, many soldiers began to slack off.
Just as the soldiers of Leopard City started to relax, the attack from the Northern Legion arrived immediately.
First came a rapid sound of something breaking through the air, followed by a bright light cutting through the night sky! That bright light was clearly the trail left by Naixiu’s Sun-Shooting skill!
The endpoint of that trail was the thick, tall walls of Leopard City.
These walls had a long history; they had already protected Leopard City from several military invasions during the time of the Eighteen Kingdom Alliance.
This time, seeing that the soldiers of the Northern Legion were also stopped, the officers and soldiers of Leopard City felt a strong sense of pride.
The Northern Legion of the Gavin Empire was truly the strongest fighting force in Gavin—such an elite army being held back outside the city was considered the greatest triumph by the people of Leopard City, who often boasted about it in their conversations.
The brilliant light from Naixiu’s skill landed on the walls, and soon, a deafening noise erupted atop those thick, tall walls that had once repelled numerous invasions.
When the lights from other walls shone over, it was immediately clear that Leopard City’s walls, just like those of Bear City, now had huge gaps of over thirty meters!
Just as the soldiers rushed to seal those gaps, Naixiu’s second Sun-Shooting attack came—this time right next to the broken walls!

In an instant, the second arrow shot at the sun, expanding the length of the broken section of the city wall to an astonishing 70 meters! Under the assault of the Northern Legion, the defense line formed by the soldiers of Leopard City was quickly torn apart! Once breached, the soldiers of the Northern Legion poured into Leopard City in large numbers. The combat strength between the two sides inside Leopard City was vastly unequal. Under such circumstances, the army of Leopard City began to collapse rapidly. As the enemy forces closed in step by step, Du Fan and the others continued to wonder. With the war having progressed this far, if the opponent’s experts still hadn’t appeared, there must be some strange reason behind this war. Sure enough, as the Northern Legion kept advancing, something resembling black smoke suddenly rushed out of the palace! Once it left the palace, that black-smoke-like entity headed straight east without pause. “Let’s chase after it!” Seeing the black-smoke-like thing suddenly appear, Du Fan shouted loudly. Quickly, Du Fan realized that the speed of that black smoke was beyond their reach. He immediately drew out Qing Suo, and a flash of green light appeared before his eyes. The three of them were enveloped by the green light and rushed after the fleeing figure. In a flash, Du Fan appeared right in front of the escaping shadow.
