Riley returned to the Myriad Rewards Hall and calmly reported his kill.
"It's done," he announced, his voice steady and devoid of pride, as if he had merely completed a routine task.
Lina froze.
"T-This…" Her eyes widened as she stared at him, struggling to process his words.
"I'll… I'll report this to the Hall Master immediately, senior. Please wait a moment!"
One had to understand—Daoist Eternal Night was not just another cultivator.
He was a terrifying giant who had ruled an entire era, a being whose name alone once caused countless worlds to tremble.
For such an existence to fall… and so quickly… it was simply unimaginable.
Less than five minutes later, the air in the hall suddenly grew heavy.
A powerful presence descended, and Hall Master Maximilian appeared in person, his usually composed expression replaced by unmistakable gravity.
"Senior," he said respectfully, clasping his fists. "May I see the corpse of Daoist Eternal Night?"
Riley gave a slight nod.
