The puppet immortals fell to the ground one after another. Many of them didn’t even leave corpses behind.
Often sporting an overbearing attack style, Athena would cause the puppet’s body to explode directly, leaving behind only the Law Stone in its place.
Thus, more and more Law Stones started to accumulate on the ground. Countless puppet immortals had already flooded into Sunset Shrine.
Inside the temple, sights of battle, as well as flesh and blood, could be seen everywhere.

“My Lord!”
“What on earth is inside this shrine?!”
Outside Sunset Shrine, in a random tunnel, Donovan Orlando and his remaining men were hiding quietly.
Densely packed, almost like a swarm of ants, there were simply far too many puppet immortals in front of the shrine. They couldn’t really see what was happening inside.
Donovan had lost his four shattered Chaos Beads, so of course, he refused to retreat just like that. That would just be too big of a loss for him. They hid and adjusted and tended to their injuries to recover. Then, they scoured the entire Infernal Realm to search for Alex and Neela’s whereabouts.
The last thing they expected was to find an incredibly majestic shrine and the huge battle that had broken out.
“It doesn’t matter. No matter whether they live or die inside there, it’s all a good thing. We’re just here to reap the benefits in the end. Once they’re done, that’s when we’ll come out… Hmph! Just the amount of Law Stones from these puppet immortals will rake in massive amounts of money.”
“In addition…”
Donovan paused and said, “Do you remember what Phaseless said before? The thing he wanted was called the Jade of Six Paths, right? Hmph… He takes me for a fool. He thought I didn’t know that the Brahman Sect used to exist here in ancient times, where a great emperor from the Stoermer sect sealed it away with three Jade of Six Paths fragments. Then, it became the place we know as the Infernal Realm.”
“The Six Eternities, the beginning of all heaven and earth and supreme spiritual tool of the prehistoric period. Just the fragments alone are a powerful magic weapon.”
“If I recall correctly, the fragment of the Six Eternities is inside this shrine.”
The face of the old lady who was beside him was filled with longing once she heard this.
Just then, a golden lance pierced through the bodies of countless puppets and broke through the air, plunging viciously into the ground. It also happened to be right near where Donovan and the others were hiding.
Clatter!
The bodies of the Puppet Immortals burst into pieces, and seven to eight pieces of different colored Law Stones clattered to the ground.
As for Donovan, be rushed forward and handed back the golden lance to Athena.
“My Lord!”
“My Lord, what’s wrong?!”
“Has be gone nuts? Why would he run there now and return the lance?!”
Just as the old woman and the others were drowning in anxiety, not knowing what to do, a loud thump shook the ground.
Athena’s lance had once again taken away the lives of a dozen puppet immortals and had plunged into the ground by the old woman’s feet.
“This…”
“What’s going on?”
Some marveled at the sight, while some were at a loss for words. However, the old woman’s hand had already reached out and grabbed the lance.
