The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 987

One of the old men spoke up. Everyone, including Delilah, turned to look. Only then did they realize he was the oldest among them.

"When I was young, I once followed our family's founder to witness Yusri Maximus in action."

Yusri Maximus? The founder of the Maximus family, the only one to have reached the Grandmaster Realm?

"You all should know that Grandmaster Realm warriors are considered the pinnacle of martial artists because, upon reaching that realm, they can cultivate a power known as a domain."

Delilah nodded. "That's common knowledge, but the problem is, no one really knows what a domain looks like because no one has ever seen one."

The old man gestured at the bodies of the three Maximus elders.

"What you just witnessed might have been a domain, though not exactly so. It's similar to what Yusri had exhibited.

"In a domain, a Grandmaster Realm martial artist is absolutely invincible. No matter your realm, once trapped inside a domain, you're no different from an ordinary person."

From the sounds of it, the horrifying scene just now did seem to resemble a domain. The three Maximus elders could not even resist the attack and got their hearts ripped out. They were no different from ordinary people who ran into a martial artist.

"Is that woman a Grandmaster? That sounds unlikely."

The old man shook his head.

"I'm just speculating. But one thing you all must have noticed—the three who died were the ones who attacked Felix. The others are unharmed."

Even Delilah fell silent. How could she not have noticed?

Did that terrifying woman show up to help Felix? But if that were true, why didn't she give Felix a heads-up? It was all too strange.

"Delilah, no matter what, that precious disciple of yours seems rather extraordinary. As for that woman, we should pretend we never saw her and not spread word of it. The longer I live, the more afraid I am of death. I don't want to wake up one night with my heart ripped out."
