Chapter 19 – This Kid… No Matter What, He Must Die
"This kid… no matter what, he needs to die." A powerful elder's voice echoed through the grand arena, his aura surging with the might of the Inferno Realm. His killing intent was undisguised, and he wasn't the only one. Numerous influential figures, nobles, and clan leaders shared the same murderous resolve.
"This cannot be resolved with mere words!" A black-haired middle-aged man trembled with fury, his fists clenched as veins bulged across his forehead. "Killing my son is the same as uprooting my clan's future! No matter what, this brat must die!"
Even the merchant from the 70th Heaven, a man known for his cold, calculating nature, could no longer contain his rage. His expression was twisted with hatred.
"This demon… he's truly asking for it!" His voice was icy as killing intent flickered in his eyes. The sheer audacity—Wutian had sacrificed thousands just to advance. It was a level of ruthlessness that sent chills through even the most hardened veterans. This act of madness couldn't be ignored.
Overnight, Wutian had become the enemy of all within the secret realm.
But did he care?
Not at all.
Standing amidst the sea of death, Wutian finished solidifying his cultivation. His breakthrough, unhindered by the natural bottlenecks that plagued others, was seamless—a testament to his heaven-defying cultivation method.
"Hahahaha!" His laughter rang through the air, filled with madness and amusement. He exhaled deeply, feeling the surge of power coursing through his veins.
"As expected… I wouldn't be surprised if I'm hunted after this." His smirk widened as he stretched, utterly unfazed by the looming threat of thousands seeking his life.
He had already anticipated this outcome.
His gaze flickered toward the distant battlefield, his amusement growing.
"Hehehe… twenty thousand participants, is it?" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes. "Then it seems… a massacre is necessary."
Without hesitation, Wutian set out once more, his figure vanishing like a phantom as he hunted lesser gods for sport. His escape route had long been prepared, and with his newfound power, he feared nothing.
Meanwhile, On Ella's Side…Ella had finally fully recovered—her strength surging to its absolute peak once more. A breath of relief escaped her lips as she checked her status.
"System, display my status."

"System, why is my race and bloodline still hidden? Shouldn't I be classified as a god by now?"

Ella let out a small sigh.
"So it's not that the system can't see it… I'm just too weak to access that information yet."
Shaking her head, she focused back on her priority—finding Olivia. She requested the system's guidance and quickly accelerated forward.
The vastness of the secret realm was no joke. Spanning an area nearly half the size of the 18th Heaven, traversing it wasn't easy. Flight required energy, and even though she had recovered, maintaining peak speed was taxing.
Yet, as she streaked across the sky, her black and red abyssal aura made her presence unmistakable—a harbinger of destruction.
Countless sacred beasts lurking in the shadows instinctively retreated, their instincts warning them of an existence they couldn't afford to provoke.
"Shh…"
Ella's figure blurred as she soared past towering mountains and vast rivers. Along the way, she caught glimpses of lesser gods engaged in battle—but she paid them no mind.
Her focus remained on Olivia.
However, as she approached a rugged mountain range, she halted abruptly.
Not far ahead, thousands of lesser gods had gathered, their auras brimming with urgency.
Ella's eyes narrowed as she observed them from a distance. The moment she appeared, many lesser gods sensed her destructive aura, but rather than hostility, they welcomed her presence.
"Look! A powerful expert has arrived! With her help, we can finally kill that demon Wutian!"
Ella didn't move.
Caution.
She wasn't foolish enough to throw herself into a crowd of unknowns. Standing at a safe distance, she spoke with measured politeness.
"Where is Wutian? Is he still alive?" she asked, her voice carrying subtle urgency. "I want to kill him too, but I was besieged by sacred beasts earlier. Can any seniors explain the current situation?"
Even Ella was surprised by her own acting skills.
Her composed demeanor and respectful tone instantly won favor with the group. Several nodded approvingly, their expressions easing.
"Hmph. Young sister, you are quite polite." A dignified lesser god stepped forward, his voice carrying a grave tone. "Indeed, we face a great problem because of Wutian. That madman has already reached the Inferno Realm, and he's hunting us one by one. If we do not act now, he will slaughter us all."
Ella gave a solemn nod, though inwardly, she remained indifferent.
Not my concern.
She only wanted to fight and find Olivia.
"Thank you for the warning, senior." Ella smiled, her voice carrying just the right mix of gratitude and worry. "But I must find my sister first. I fear that demon may have targeted her."
The lesser gods nodded in understanding.
"Go ahead, young sister. Finding family is important. We will wait for you here—there are still others gathering."
Ella didn't hesitate. She politely excused herself and vanished from sight.
She wasn't one to provoke others unnecessarily. But should they provoke her?
They'd regret it.
Hours passed before Ella finally found Olivia.
Even from a distance, she could sense her twin's concealed aura.
"Her concealment technique is truly remarkable…"
Ella narrowed her eyes.
"Did Vivi receive an inheritance?"
Curious, she spoke.
"System, display Olivia's status."
Ding!

Ella's eyes widened.
"She's stronger than me now?!"
For the first time, she felt a competitive frustration.
But before she could think further—
"Eri!"
A familiar voice called out.
A streak of light shot toward her, and before Ella could react, Olivia embraced her tightly.
"Eri… I missed you…"
Ella's heart softened as she patted her twin's head.
"I missed you too, Vivi."
From the grand arena, Yula watched their reunion, her eyes shining.
"This… I can't bear this cuteness anymore!"
Ignoring the shouting crowd, her entire focus was on her daughters.
