Chapter 869 -272 The Supreme Treasure in the White Family’s Secret Box!_2
That’s why Mushroomhead said right at the start that many people would die.
Barre Shepherd’s mental attitude was quite good, as he said again, “But things have come to this. In some ways, it’s not entirely bad. Judging from the content of the Enlightenment, the difficulty of the trials has increased, and the rewards will inevitably be richer. If I’m not mistaken, the higher difficulty ‘Shadows’ should also be triggerable now…”
“Hmm.”
Leonard Churchill listened with some anticipation.
During the previous primary and Intermediate-level shadow trials, he had received very satisfactory rewards, and he was curious about what a higher difficulty trial would offer.
But at the same time, that uncertainty also made him furrow his brows; the previous Intermediate Shadows had already replicated all his abilities.
...
What about the advanced ones?
Could they possess abilities that he himself did not have?
Barre Shepherd continued, “Moreover, the land is now covered with fear contamination… Oh, you boy won’t be contaminated, so you probably don’t know what’s going on. It’s about monsters manifesting from the fears within one’s heart… The New King of Orlan also intended to use this method to kill me.”
Hearing this, he pointed to the dark air on his forehead.
Amidst it, as if emblazoned with four large characters: His brow radiated darkness.
Leonard and Sophia Jones both looked over and recognized that the dark mark was some kind of high-tier Law of Fear.
Leonard asked, “Senior, are you alright?”
Logically speaking, King Orlan’s gambit, which cost him greatly, should pose some threat.
But this old man seemed quite unaffected?
Barre Shepherd could not hide his tone, “That guy mobilized the rules of the Mysterious Realm to kill me; I couldn’t avoid it. But the Mysterious Realm itself is limited by the tier of the user, and its difficulty ceiling is limited, currently seen as the sixth tier. That ‘Fear Mark’ is indeed formidable and unpredictable. However, unfortunately, I’ve comprehended Divine Power, and my state of mind has transcended the category of ordinary humans. If I do not harbor fear, this Spell has no effect on me.”
No one could kill him; thus, the only option was to use the monsters of his own fear to do so.
It indeed was a clever scheme.
Leonard then came to an understanding.
The old man’s situation was somewhat similar to his; as long as he did not give rise to fear, there would be no threat.
Sophia Jones appeared composed, yet she was tremendously shocked inside.
Because this was the first time she truly witnessed the legendary “Demigod’s Divine Power.”
At that moment, Leonard’s eyes shifted, and a new question suddenly sprang to mind: wouldn’t this mean missing out on the reward?
From the current view, if one could personally kill these fear manifestations, the rewards seemed to be very substantial.
Now with the terror level having increased, perhaps there would be even more surprises.
The thought just crossed Leonard’s mind when Barre Shepherd on the other side felt the same.
The compatibility between the old and the young was largely due to their similar natures.
The old man smacked his lips, saying, “However, I do want to challenge it, to see what the fear in the depths of my heart really is.”

If others heard this, they surely would think it sounded like the ramblings of a satiated man.
Others would do anything to avoid it.
Yet this old man seemed eager to court death.
But Leonard understood very well that for someone like Barre Shepherd, who stood at the pinnacle of the current age, there was never any fear of a challenge.
Only those with a heart for adventure could reach the summit.
And that wasn’t all.
Barre Shepherd went on to give a detailed explanation for his reasoning.
He said, “I’ve seen similar descriptions in some ancient ruins about these inner manifestations called ‘Demons in Heart.’ If one can overcome them, it can improve one’s cultivation, fortune, and even future potential. Failure, on the other hand, has the opposite effect. Some people will never encounter them in their lifetime, while others may face them many times. It’s a lethal crisis, but also a tremendous chance.”
While speaking, he glanced at Leonard, and his tone suddenly became somewhat profound and distant.
After a pause, he added, “I could comprehend ‘Divine Power’ largely because I once experienced it in an Alternate Dimension… Only by confronting the fear in your heart can you truly become strong. When you have nothing to fear, your spirit becomes clear. The so-called ‘Divine Power’ implies, among other things, that nothing in the world, not even the almighty Gods above, is feared by me… My heart is the universe, as I can see into the soul.”
“…”
Leonard listened, not quite grasping the depth of the statement.
The topic was a bit too advanced for him at the moment.
However, next to him, Sophia’s eyes suddenly trembled, struck by thunder.
Her thoughts seemed to be awakened, and where there was complete darkness ahead, it seemed a light began to shine.
She knew, he was also speaking to her!
After all, she was already at the peak of the Sixth Tier, only one step away in many respects.
Barre Shepherd’s words were actually guiding her toward understanding the direction of ‘Divine Power’!
The few simple sentences he spoke, for her current state, were already a chance one could only hope for.
Sophia once again stood up, bowed deeply, and said, “Thank you, Senior, for your guidance.”
Barre Shepherd casually smacked his lips, and praised, “You’re not too bad. Talented, and you’ve been through hardships to get where you are today.”
The old man had watched the entire scene of Sophia protecting Leonard earlier, and his impression of her was indeed favorable.
But since it was spoken, he might as well make it clear.
He continued, “You saw it earlier, among the Orlan Remnants there were some who inherited Super Tier legacies. It seemed there were some ‘shortcuts’ to advancing to the seventh tier. But I’ve tried, and those card masters coming out of such shortcuts have limited potential… Although I’m not certain what lies beyond the seventh tier, I can sense that they stop there. And my limit is far beyond.”
