Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

That person had reached the scepter! Ivan did not dare waste another second, heading for the scepter at once.

This time, he was the one in the dark instead of the other way around.

Ivan gritted his teeth at the pain in his heart, hiding between the wordless graves as he inched closer to the scepter! The scepter was extremely tall, about the height of three stories.

Ivan finally saw the mystery person. He was clad in greenish gray robes in a strange fashion, making him look even more creepy.

His face was still blurred with his powers, and he looked almost headless from afar. It was definitely impossible to identify what he looked like.

The person was currently making his way to the heart with all his might against the piercing rays of light, but did not seem to be successful at all.

He made a grabbing gesture as he reached out towards the heart, and a pair of hands appeared in thin air to try and crush the heart.

The heart was beating even more loudly and clearly, and Ivan felt his chest thudding along.

The person seemed to sense him, and he looked over all of a sudden! Ivan got a fright. He gritted his teeth, taking out a small creature from his ring.

This little guy evolved from a ghost beast. It was able to be stored in the ring because it was dead, but it was also ‘alive’ and had its own conscience and spirit.

Because of how special it was, Ivan had been planning to give it to Lilly the next time he saw her.

Well, there was no choice now.

Just as the creature was set free, it shot out like a bolt of lightning! It traveled so fast that it was practically the speed of light.

The creature was especially good at escaping and could even hide itself while it was running. This felt similar to that mysterious person when they first appeared, with a strangely terrifying aura.

It was unclear what else the creature was good at, but it was definitely the best at running away.

The little creature had tricked the man above the scepter, who then appeared close to Ivan. The man did not notice Ivan at all, chasing the creature down murderously.

Time was key here.

Ivan used the one and only Sky Leap Amulet, which sent him right up to the scepter. He wasted no time, reaching out and grabbing the heart for himself! The sensation was extremely strange, both wonderful and ominous, he was holding his own heart.

The next second, the heart in his hands vanished. It turned into a million rays of light and disappeared from the palm of his hand.

The gigantic scepter disappeared as well, shrinking to the same size as the Green Dragon Sword when it reappeared. Ivan opened his hand, and the scepter appeared in his grasp! Before he could marvel at the sight, the person was already coming back for him.

Ivan did not dare to even look twice, turning to run at once.

Yes, he did just find out that he was a reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow.

The thing is, he also knew well enough that he was no match for this mystery person before him! “Hey, Thief!” The person's eyes glinted murderously, casting a blow onto Ivan’s back! Ivan was sent flying through the air and was about to fall onto the graves in the underground city.

He knew that if he were to roll down and stop at all, he would be dead.

Ivan gripped the scepter in his hand, letting out a low growl. He flipped over in mid-air, heading straight for the cave.

Such a flip would have impressed even Newton.

Ivan was able to escape thanks to the energy coming from the scepter and got out of the cave from where he came in.

Maybe the barrier would be able to stop the other person for just a while.

Ivan did not dare waste any time. He was going to make a beeline down the mountain before he did anything else.

The foot of the mountain was complicated, with many shields and plumes of fog he could hide behind. This was good for him.

There was definitely a risk that the fog was poisonous too, but it was definitely better than facing that other person head-on! The barrier did not hold the other person back for very long, only for two seconds. Right after Ivan had finally entered the fog with all his might, a great wind kicked up behind him that radiated with murderous intent.

“Oh, it's just a mortal I'm dealing with...” The mystery person’s gaze flashed with fury.

A regular mortal had been able to find the place where Emperor Greenbow had kept his heart all this time.

This mortal had even stolen my heart! The mystery person had been in the mountains for ages just to find the heart.

Of course they would be furious at having it taken away just like that! Thump, Ivan was no match for the powerful force from behind and took a second blow.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, half his energy draining from him.

Still, he did not dare to stop.

To think that he was still running away with one last breath in him...

“Who the hell are you, really?” The mystery person’s gaze narrowed, growing wary. This mere mortal had taken two blows and was still alive.

The person took a look at Ivan’s wrist, but it did not give him the answer he wanted.

The mystery person suspected that Ivan was the reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow, seeing as he could take Emperor Greenbow’s heart and scepter.

But he had taken two blows, which would be enough for anyone to release their potential. There was no mark on Ivan’s wrist to be seen.

It seemed like this young man was not the reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow...

Was he really just a regular guy who got lucky? The mystery person’s gaze flashed with suspicion.

Either way, though, he was going to kill this man.

Despite the fact that the mystery person saw Ivan as extremely weak, he did not go easy at all. A black skull appeared on the mystery person’s palm, channeling all his murderous energy.

He pounced towards Ivan, casting the fatal blow against him...
