"Oh?" A smile tugged at Yuan’s lips when he saw what Owen pulled out of his spatial ring.
"I thought you didn’t need to rely on that thing to deal with me," he said with a mocking smile.
"Shut the hell up, you damn monster!" Owen roared as he controlled the treasure, causing it to hover before him.
"I wouldn’t use that treasure if I were you," Yuan said while shaking his head.
"And why the hell not?! If you think you can fool me—"
"Because I will have to fight you seriously, and I don’t want to accidentally kill you."
Owen stared at him with wide eyes and in stunned silence.
"Hahaha!" He burst out laughing a moment later.
"Even if you are somehow hiding more power, you will never match—"
Owen abruptly halted his speech and even nearly choked on his own laughter when an unfathomable aura suddenly exploded from Yuan’s body.
"Y-You!"
His gaze shifted between Yuan and his treasure nonstop.
"That power! Impossible!"
While Owen was in a daze, Yuan controlled the millions of glowing swords in the sky, combining them into a single, behemoth sword.
<Divine Judgment!>
The sword descended toward Owen with immense speed, but the target himself was too shocked to even realize it.
By the time he realized, it was already too late.
The massive sword plunged into Owen from the top of his head and continued to fall until it pieced through the entire island.
However, while it appeared as if his body had been cleanly cleaved in two, the blade did not actually sever him and only left him pinned in place instead.
An immense amount of Demon Sealing Aura rushed into Owen’s body, and despite his desperate attempt to fight back, he was sealed almost instantly.
When Owen was sealed and turned into a stone statue, his control of the treasure was disrupted, and it fell to the ground with a soft thud.
Yuan picked up the treasure and muttered, "As much as I want to see the power of this thing, I have a promise to keep."
After putting away the treasure, Yuan grabbed Owen’s petrified body and jumped into the crimson sea together.
<Water Tunnel!>
Yuan used Water Tunnel for the first time, traversing through the Bloody Expanse and returning to Selena and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Here’s Owen, as promised," Yuan said as he emerged from the crimson sea, rising from its depths in a manner similar to the Primal Sovereign of the Seas.
"He’s not dead... right?" Helena looked at Owen’s petrified body with a deep frown.
"No, he’s just sealed. I can unseal him right now if you want."
"Do it." Helena said with a cold smile on her face, even cracking her knuckles in excitement.
"I’m unsealing him now."
Yuan unsealed Owen the next moment.
"You bastard! I will—"
Owen immediately began hurling curses loudly, but the moment he saw Helena and Angela hovering before him, his entire body stiffened.
"H-How? How the hell are you outside Death Paradise?!" Owen screamed in disbelief, still thinking that he was in Bone Atoll.
Although the sky was dark, a prime characteristic of Death Paradise, Owen’s mind was too occupied with Helena and Angela’s presence to notice it.
’I need to run!’ Owen subconsciously began to run, but his attempt was halted before it could even begin.
"Don’t even think about leaving, you little traitor."
Helena suddenly grabbed him by his neck before his body could even move.
"W-Wait! I can explain!" Owen hastily said.
"I’ll listen to you... once I exhaust some of this anger!"
However, before Helena could start her torture session, Yuan said to her, "Before you kill him, let me ask him some questions."
Then he said to Owen, "If you answer my questions, I will ask them to spare you."
"I-I will answer them! All of them!" Owen quickly replied.
"What was your master’s goal? Why did you want the Transcendents’ blood?"
"I don’t know! The Demon God didn’t tell me anything besides to acquire their blood!"
"What?! You are working with the Demon God?!" Selena and the others were immediately alarmed by his words.
However, Yuan quickly explained, "He just thinks that he’s working with the Demon God. I highly doubt the Demon God is really behind him. If the Demon God really needed your blood, he wouldn’t resort to such schemes."
"Where is my blood, anyway?" Helena glared at him.
"I-It’s in my spatial ring..."
"What were you going to do after acquiring it?" Yuan asked after snatching his spatial ring.
"I need to deliver it to my master in the Boundless Expanse..." he said.
"And how are you going to do that?" Angela asked.
"I was going to contact my master to update him, but before I could do that, he appeared before me." Owen said, pointing at Yuan with his eyes.
"How do you contact him? Through this?" Yuan showed Owen his own treasure.
