Chapter 300: Three Hearts

Logan’s head snapped toward where Lilith’s body was. The ground was slowly sinking into the erupting lava. And Lilith’s body could fall into that lava at any moment.

Without a moment of hesitation, Logan shot toward her body.

Whoooosh!

Lava erupted from the ground just beside her. If it had erupted even just two feet to the right, Lilith’s body would have turned to ashes by now.

Logan quickly picked Lilith’s body from the ground and leapt to a safe place. The Grand Emperor was about to rush toward them, but Logan hurled an energy ball that blasted into the air and sent him flying.

Spade quickly reached beside Logan as well. Logan handed her body to Spade. "Take her to safety."

"Safety? The way you are fighting, is there any place safe in this Seventh Heaven?" Spade asked in a serious tone.

"They have to pay for what they have done. I can’t let any of them live." Logan’s eyes had turned slightly normal. But his expression was dead serious.

"Uncle, I know you are in pain. But don’t do this. Do you think Aunt Lilith would have liked it if she were here?"

"I wouldn’t have to be in this state if she were here. Leave this place immediately with her." Logan said in a firm voice, leaving no room for negotiation.

Spade knew he couldn’t talk any sense into Logan. But he couldn’t let everyone die either.

But just as Spade was busy thinking how he could convince Logan, the Grand Emperor and the primordial dragon sneaked in toward Spade from both flanks.

Logan immediately noticed it, and his brows knitted. Not because of those two. But because he could already feel that the crimson figure was also closing in toward him.

Logan reacted quickly and flung both his arms to the side. Two energy balls shot out and struck the Grand Emperor and the primordial dragon.

Both of them were sent flying, blood spraying in the air.

Logan turned around the next moment. The God of Chaos was already there, swinging another unique weapon. This one looked like a short sword but was quite different. There was no hilt guard. Only the handle, which was half the size of the blade. And the blade itself. One side was black, and the other side was sharpened into silver.

The God of Chaos swung the blade. Logan swung his arm, the gauntlet clashing against the sword.

Clangggg!

The God of Chaos felt his arm going numb. Logan wasn’t in any better shape either. He was forced back several meters. The God of Chaos gritted his teeth and swung again. Logan didn’t retreat either.

Clang!

Clang!

Metal met metal.

Boooooooom! Somewhere in the distance, a loud explosion erupted. But Logan couldn’t even be bothered to look in that direction. The God of Chaos, too.

Suddenly, as Spade was moving away with Lilith’s body in the distance, the Grand Emperor appeared beside him. Before Spade could even react, the Grand Emperor’s hand wrapped around Spade’s neck. His other hand grabbed Lilith’s hair, her body being dragged like a sack. "Stop." The man in a silk robe shouted.

A smile crept into Eternal’s face. He had seen what Sheon was up to. But Logan still didn’t stop. His fist tore through the air and was about to land on Iblekhis’s face when a schlk sound echoed.

Logan didn’t know what it was. But he looked back, trembling. And his eyes immediately blackened again.

The Grand Emperor had pierced a sword into Lilith’s chest. She was already dead, but these people would let her rest in peace.

Logan forgot about the Eternal and shot toward Sheon. But he couldn’t even take one step when a golden net fell over his body.

The outer edges of the net immediately dug into the ground and trapped Logan inside. Logan grabbed the golden net and pulled with all his strength.

But...

The golden threads didn’t even bend.

He brought out the Demon Sword and swung consecutively.

Whoooosh!

Whooosh!

Cracks spread across the ground, but the net remained intact.

"Hahaha!" Iblekhis laughed and walked toward Sheon. "Good, Sheon. You at least did something useful."

Sheon smiled slightly. He was still holding Spade and Lilith’s body. Spade struggled inside his grip. "Let me go!"

He grabbed Sheon’s wrist, trying to free himself. But how could he? Spade was most probably only in the Martial Sovereign realm now, while Sheon was a Cultivation God.

Iblekhis turned toward Logan. "You won’t be able to free yourself from that net no matter what you do."

Logan glared at him.

"Even twenty Eternals combined wouldn’t be able to tear it open. Only its soul-bound wielder can control it."

He slowly walked closer. "Now... hand over one of your hearts."

Logan said nothing.

Iblekhis pointed toward Lilith. "Or you won’t even have her dead body for the final rituals." Then he looked toward Spade. "And he dies too."

"Uncle!" Spade shouted. "Don’t listen to him!"

Sheon’s expression darkened.

"You can’t escape the net," Spade continued. "But while you are inside it, he can’t attack you either. No matter what, don’t follow his demand!"

Slap!

Sheon’s palm struck his face. Spade flew several meters before crashing to the ground. "Who gave you the courage to talk?"

Spade tried to stand. But before he could... Sheon raised his leg. And then stomped hard.

Bang!

Crack!

"ARGH!" Spade screamed as his knee broke.

"Stop!" Logan growled.

Sheon looked at him and smiled. "You want me to stop?" He grabbed Spade by the hair and punched him in the stomach.

Bang!

Blood sprayed from Spade’s mouth. "Give the Master what he wants."

"Don’t..." Spade coughed. "Don’t give him anything."

Sheon kicked him again.

Bang!

Then he walked toward Lilith’s corpse and placed his foot over her knee as well.

Logan’s eyes turned completely black.

"I am going to tear you into pieces." Logan’s veins bulged.

Sheon chuckled and stomped once more.

Crack!

Bones shattered inside Lilith’s lifeless body.

BOOOOOOM!

Crimson energy exploded from Logan. The entire Seventh Heaven trembled.

"Enough!" Iblekhis shouted. "Logan! Give me the heart, and this ends here."

Logan stared at Lilith. Then at Spade. Slowly, his expression became calm.

Iblekhis smiled. He thought Logan had finally surrendered. "Good. Now give it to me."

Logan raised his hand.

Then...

Splat!

He struck his own chest. Everyone froze.

"What?" Iblekhis looked bewildered.

Schlk! Logan’s fingers dug into his flesh. Blood sprayed. He gritted his teeth and pulled.

Riiip!

A strange-looking heart appeared in his hand. It looked like a combination of three parts.

Thump!

Thump!

Blood poured down his body. Logan dropped to one knee.

"Cough!" Blood gushed from his mouth.

Iblekhis stared in shock. ’What is he doing? Why did he bring out all three hearts?’ His expression changed. ’He is going to die!’

Logan’s lips started moving. He began chanting something in a strange language.

"What is he doing?!" Sheon shouted.

Logan’s spatial ring suddenly shimmered.

Whoooosh!

Several treasures shot out. Each one emitted a powerful and unique aura. All of them began swirling around Logan.

"Stop him!" Iblekhis shouted.

Sheon reacted and rushed forward.

Bang!

His body slammed against an invisible barrier around the golden net. He couldn’t enter. At that moment, one of Logan’s hearts shot forward.

Whoooosh!

It flew straight toward Spade.

"What?!"

The heart glowed with a blinding light before blasting into fragments of light motes.

Lines appeared beneath Spade’s body, forming a strange formation. Transparent walls rose from the ground. Within seconds, a pyramid-like structure completely swallowed him.

"Uncle!" Spade struck the wall.

Bang! Bang!

Nothing happened.

Sheon punched the pyramid.

Baaaaang!

Not even a crack appeared.

Meanwhile, Logan continued chanting.

The remaining treasures rushed toward the other two hearts.

Whoooosh!

The treasures fused into them. The flesh of the hearts slowly disappeared. Their shapes became perfectly round.

Light swallowed them.

Soon...

Two glowing pearls floated before Logan.

crimson-white.

Iblekhis’s expression changed. "I won’t let that happen." He roared.

But Logan totally ignored him.

Iblekhis controlled the net to be open again. But it was already too late.

One crimson-white pearl suddenly shot toward Lilith.

Whoooosh! It entered her chest. Hum! A soft light covered her body.

She still didn’t breathe. She didn’t move. The next moment, her soul came out of her body and vanished.

Then, Logan looked toward the final pearl.

Whoooooooooosh!

The pearl shot into the sky. It pierced through the clouds and disappeared.

A shockwave spread across the entire Seventh Heaven.

Whoooosh!

Everyone was forced backward.

Logan was still kneeling inside the net. There was a massive hole in his chest. No heart remained inside his body. Blood covered the ground.

His eyes were slowly losing focus.

"Uncle!" Spade shouted from inside the pyramid. "What did you do?!"

Logan slowly looked toward him. A weak smile appeared on his face. "Wait for me, Spade."

Logan’s voice became faint. "I will soon return to bring you out of here."

And then...

His body collapsed to the ground, kicking up dust.
