After his warning, Jorge no longer hesitated. He turned around and fled. He could not care about Lucifer.Meanwhile, Lucifer's face changed drastically when he heard Jorge's words."Damn it!" he cursed and instantly turned around, preparing to leave.Shane and Kevin were dead, and Islehaven was unimportant to him. He could return and deal with that once his strength was restored.At the same time, Manish's anxiety increased. He glanced at Frederick, signaling a clear message—it was the perfect timing to act; it was then or never.However, Frederick remained silent, staring intently at the screen, waiting. He was waiting for Shane's signal. More importantly, he did not want to sacrifice Henry.Manish was worried. Even though the missile launch site was close, given the strength of those powerhouses, it was already too late to act.At that moment, Henry, filled with rage, swung his sword toward Lucifer. The terrifying sword energy seemed to slice through space itself. The powerful
Without a healing elixir, Lucifer might need at least a few months to recover fully.Jorge shared the same thoughts as Lucifer. The two quickly fled together when he saw Lucifer make his escape.Meanwhile, Manish realized their opportunity had gone; even if they were to launch the missile, it would not have mattered. He could only give up and waited with Albus.Even though Henry had unleashed a terrifying final strike, it was clear that he had used a forbidden technique, pushing himself far beyond his limits. After that strike, Henry felt an overwhelming emptiness and weakness in his body, barely able to stand.He staggered, then noticed Lydia. Her face was pale, and her body was stained with blood. She looked gravely injured.Henry's heart sank. He hurried over and embraced her.Lydia looked pained, and blood dripped from her mouth. She muttered weakly, "Henry, am I—am I going to die?""No, absolutely not. I'll heal you right now," Henry replied. He desperately tried to channel
When Shane heard Henry's scream, he was regretful. He could not believe what was happening, and he blamed himself. Just as he was lost in those thoughts, he noticed something changing in Henry.A look of shock crossed his face."Is that..."The Dragon Bloodline?"Henry could feel it, too—an overwhelming surge of terrifying energy coursed through his body. Even his tough body could not withstand the pain. He feared that his newfound power might harm Lydia, so he carefully set her down and stepped back, focusing on guiding the energy within him.Despite Lydia's life gradually fading, Henry refused to give up. He was determined to save her, even as he absorbed the power of his bloodline while keeping his spiritual senses locked on her condition. However, her condition seemed to get more and more chaotic.Shane, still in shock, watched the scene unfold. The Dragon Bloodline he had casually mentioned was real and was fully awakened within Henry.Shane could not believe it. Yet, he wa
Henry's newfound power was overwhelming. He felt as though he could command the Energy of Heaven and Earth at will. Thunder and lightning crackled within his palm, radiating terror without a single ounce of energy leaking out."He—he must be at the intermediate stage of Principles comprehension!" Shane was deeply shocked. Henry had just begun to comprehend the Principle of Heaven and Earth, yet his strength was already advancing at a terrifying pace, approaching Shane's.Albus and the others felt a powerful pressure, almost as if they were about to kneel before Henry.Henry quickly regained control, suppressing his power, and hurried over to Lydia. He scanned her body by using his mental strength, feeling a mix of heartache and relief.He then turned to Albus and bowed with gratitude. "Thank you, Master. I owe this to you.""Don't mention it. If anyone deserves gratitude, it's Master Aurey," Albus replied with a wry smile. He then explained the situation with the missile and how F
Then, Henry asked, "How big is the gap between us?"He would never back down if there were a threat to Aurelia, no matter the danger.Shane responded thoughtfully, "You've reached the mid-stage of Principles comprehension while he's entered the advanced stage. He's still far stronger."As he held Lydia, Henry asked, "How many stages are there?""I'm not entirely sure," Shane said."But according to the legends, there's also the higher-advanced stage. Finally, there's the peak stage. That's the ultimate power in our world."Henry nodded, realizing that the gap was smaller than he had thought. He could feel that he was close to advancing to the next stage.His mind then turned to the man who had stopped him earlier. He asked, "Who was the man who blocked us and ruined our plan?"Shane's face twisted bitterly. "He's my cousin, but don't worry, he won't live for long."Henry nodded, no longer interested. All that mattered to him was Lucifer, the only real threat. Even Jorge no lo
Henry was unaware of the passing time as he was completely immersed in his cultivation. He continuously comprehended the Principles of Heaven and Earth. Three days and nights slipped by.Lydia opened her eyes, bewildered by her recovery. She could not believe she was fully healed. She thought she had died.She turned to see Henry sitting nearby, his body bathed in a radiant light, resembling a heavenly figure.Lydia stood up, astonished to realize she was completely healed. She was alive, and Henry had saved her. She gazed at Henry soft, full of affection.Another twelve days had passed after Lydia woke up. She had nothing to do during that time. She did not need food in her cultivation state, so she spent the time refining her own abilities. Even though she was concerned about Henry's prolonged cultivation, sensing his ever-increasing power reassured her.Finally, Henry opened his eyes. His gaze was profound, as if it contained the unparalleled principles itself. His mere glance
"Really? That's amazing! We won't have to worry about those bad people anymore." Lydia's face lit up with joy.To her, Henry's safety was the most important thing; everything else was secondary."Yes, we won't need to," Henry said with a smile, though a flash of coldness passed through his eyes. He hoped Lucifer would come after him soon enough.Just then, Henry's phone rang. It was Jeffery."Hello.""Master, we've found something important," Jeffery said. He had been trying to reach Henry for several days, and the man had finally answered his phone.Henry moved to the side to avoid being overheard by Lydia. He replied in a low voice, "Go on."Lydia was surprised. Henry clearly did not want her to hear that conversation, but she trusted him and knew he must have his reasons. So, she waited patiently."Ms. Miller isn't Jennifer's daughter indeed, but it's not as Jennifer claimed—that her real mother abandoned her," Jeffery said."Jennifer was desperate to secure her position in
Henry was invincible. She could not think of any troubles that might bother him.Henry sighed softly and said, "Lydia, there's something I've been investigating for a while, and now we've finally found some answers.""What is it? Does it involve me?" Lydia was curious."Yes, and you should be mentally prepared for this.""What's going on?" Lydia's expression tensed."It's about your origins," Henry said carefully, worried she could not handle the truth.Lydia's face paled, and asked in a trembling voice, "Am I not—?"Henry nodded. "Not only are you not Jennifer's daughter, but she also stole you from your birth mother."Lydia was in shock as she knelt. It was bad enough to find out she was not Jennifer's biological child, but learning that she had been stolen was far worse. Lydia had always been strong and resilient, a trait that helped her run her company efficiently.Henry gently consoled her and explained everything he had uncovered.After hearing the whole story, Lydia wa
