Chapter 521: Experts from the Divine Realm
One was a tall woman with dark crimson-red hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of flame, her eyes sharp and glinting with ancient wisdom, her very presence exuding a quiet, suffocating intensity.
Beside her stood a man with bluish hair, streaked faintly with silver, and a neatly trimmed beard that gave him a regal, commanding aura. He wore a robe embroidered with black-gold dragons, and just his gaze alone made the air feel heavier, as if even mana bowed before him.
Max turned slowly to look at them, his eyes narrowing slightly. In that moment, he instinctively reached out with his senses—but his breath hitched.
Nothing.
He couldn’t read them. Not even a trace of their strength or mana. It was like standing before a veil of endless void, thick and impenetrable. His heartbeat quickened as realization dawned.
’I can’t see their strength... not even a ripple. But the pressure they’re emitting...’ His thoughts paused as he compared it to the strongest being he had ever encountered before—Old Saintess. ’It’s even stronger than hers...’ he concluded silently, his brows furrowing.
These weren’t elders or instructors. These weren’t visiting nobles or senior experts. These were true monsters—apex beings whose mere appearance shifted the balance of power in a room.
The entire hall, filled with proud geniuses from both the mortal and Divine Realms, had fallen silent again, but this silence wasn’t born of awe—it was instinctual fear.
Even the Divine Realm geniuses, who until now had looked down on the proceedings with arrogance, now stood with guarded expressions, their pride dimming in the overwhelming presence of these two newcomers.
