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
On the other hand, Jennifer was irritated. She muttered, "That ungrateful brat, Lydia! She's ignoring us now!"She's even ignoring my calls after everything I've done for her. What a waste of my care and concern!"William, sitting nearby, could only manage a helpless smile. Deep down, he knew Lydia would not return willingly after all they had done.As for Jennifer's threat to reveal everything, it was all an act. She knew very well that if the truth came out, they would face dire consequences, especially if they were held accountable by Islehaven. Worst of all, Henry would likely walk away unscathed, and they would alienate Lydia for good.Jennifer still held on to the hope that Lydia might forgive them. After all, she had forgiven them for even worse things with just a few of their sweet words in the past. There was still a chance as long as they did not push things too far.When Jennifer saw William's expression, her anger flared up again. "What's wrong with you? Do you think s
Lydia's expression was even worse.As expected, Henry shot a cold glance at William and Jennifer before suddenly slapping Jennifer hard across the face."You don't deserve to be Lydia's Mom." His voice was icy.Jennifer was stunned, her cheek burning from the impact.Shocked at first, William quickly turned furious and shouted, "What are you doing, Henry?!"Smack!Henry delivered another slap to William."You're no better," he said, his tone just as cold.William was dumbfounded, while Jennifer, hurt and enraged, hesitated, fearful of Henry's intimidating presence. She tried to calm things down and said cautiously, "Henry, what's this all about? You're still mad about last time, aren't you? It was my fault. I know I was wrong."You've slapped me now. Can we just let it go?" she pleaded.William turned to Lydia and asked in frustration, "Lydia, are you really going to stand by and watch as your parents are treated like this?""Are you?" Lydia's voice was cold and distant."H
At that point, everything there was over.After everyone dispersed, Shane laughed as he stepped forward. "Henry, you gave me a big surprise this time."I thought you'd need at least five years to catch up to them. I didn't expect you to have achieved such strength. This is entirely beyond my imagination."May I ask what level of strength you are at now?"Shane was curious.Henry shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know it. There's no one to compare with."I only know that if I use my full strength, I can destroy a city with one single wave of my sword."Everyone was utterly stunned, and they murmured helplessly, "Pervert!"Shane was speechless. He shook his head. "Young man, you really amazed me. By the way, when are you getting engaged? Don't delay for too long; I don't have much time left."He was delighted with Henry and was hoping to be able to attend their wedding.Henry smiled and said, "Elder Master Drayson, have you forgotten what I said yesterday? I'll help you re
Henry's domineering words made the people of Aurelia excited.They were so enthusiastic that they had to express their excitement.However, they were confused when Henry ordered them to launch the missiles.What did Henry mean? Why did Henry order the launching of the missiles? Everyone was curious.Everyone else was dumbfounded, too. What order was that?Everyone had doubts in their mind.At the same time, the person at the missile base was sweating profusely. He had to execute the order under any circumstances, and he was so nervous that he could not help but reconfirm the order again.Frederick nodded. He had looked into the matter personally to ensure everything was in place without error.If he had not seen Henry's extraordinary strength with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Henry had planned everything. He had even met with Frederick earlier in the morning and made the request.Henry wanted to show how powerful he was in deterring anyone from creating unnece
There were words of praise, excitement, and admiration in Aurelia.In their opinion, Henry was Aurelia's protector.In other places, people were amazed and fearful of Henry's strength.Henry did not care about that. He remembered that there were many troublemakers earlier.In a deep voice, he said, "I heard that over these past few days, many looked down on Aurelia's battling skills because no one was here to deal with them."In that case, I'll let them see how powerful Aurelia's battling skills are. There's no need to trouble those masters who are in seclusion. Those present today can do the same job."Step forward, Jensen."Jensen was stunned. When he heard Henry's order, he quickly gathered his thoughts. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Truman."Jensen was a powerful master trained by Henry. His terrifying aura was clearly displayed at that moment.In an instant, the whole world could feel his strong force. The powerful force gathered in the air made ever
Henry waved his right hand. Jorge flew out of the platform and landed near the few Islehaveners beside their ambassador.Henry had sent Jorge back to them.Next, it would be Lucifer's turn.The audience looked at Henry with admiration and were shocked.Shane and the others who supported Henry were really excited. Earlier, they had thought Aurelia would face a big crisis. They did not expect Henry to solve the matter so easily.Although Lucifer had yet to make a move, it was impossible for Lucifer to defeat Henry so easily."Lucifer, you're up," Henry said.Everyone's heart trembled.The crowd was familiar with Lucifer. He became famous after the battle the day before.It was obvious that Lucifer was much stronger than Jorge. Most importantly, he represented the powerful Westin.Lucifer snorted coldly. He stepped forward and spread his fourteen wings. He looked overpowering and extremely terrifying.The huge pressure created by the wings made everyone feel breathless.Howeve
Jorge's expression looked horrible. He had already taken the first step. Everything would go in vain if he were to give up.So, he got up, knelt in front of Henry again, and shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"Slap, slap!Another few heavy slaps on him.Jorge was utterly stunned; he was also shocked and angry."Your voice is too loud. It's disturbing," Henry said.At that moment, any fool would know Henry did it intentionally. He deliberately played tricks on Jorge.That made the Islehaveners feel even more ashamed.An ambassador of Islehaven who was watching the battle stepped forward and said, "Stop! Stop! You're destroying—""Get lost," Henry snorted coldly and waved his right hand.Even though the ambassador was a few hundred meters away, he immediately felt a massive pain in his chest. He flew backward about ten meters away and fainted as he landed on the ground.He was then dragged away.Everyone was shocked.Jorge's expression looked extremely ugly. The pain on his c
Henry's voice contained powerful mental pressure. He controlled it so well that it only targeted Jorge."No!" Jorge gritted his teeth and roared. The power around him gathered crazily, forming a huge and terrifying force he was trying to resist.Everyone was shocked when they saw that.A huge tornado formed above Jorge's head, and a powerful force burst out crazily. Once again, he displayed his amazing and terrifying strength.The overwhelming pressure shocked everyone.Everyone in the country saw that. They were extremely excited. "I knew it. Jorge was only fooling with him. He's showing his real strength now.""That's right. He's finally fighting back. He must teach that guy a cruel lesson."They were all excited. However, their excitement disappeared the next moment, and their expression looked horrible.At that moment, Henry, with a disdainful look, raised his right hand and pressed on the tornado lightly.The terrifying force on Jorge dissipated completely in an instant.
"He's my idol, too!""Mine, too.""Stop pretending. Weren't you arrogant and proud earlier? Keep it going."At that moment, the people of Aurelia cheered, both online and those who were there. Everyone who knew Henry and was close to him was also extremely excited.In contrast, the faces of the people of Islehaven looked ugly; they could not believe what they had seen.They saw Jorge as powerful as God. How could he be crushed? He was even slapped in public, equivalent to a slap on everyone's face. They were furious."Cheater! He must be cheating!""That is a conspiracy. It must be a conspiracy!""Jorge, did you hold back? You wanted them to be happy first and then would beat them out of their asses later?""Get up! Show them how powerful the people of Islehaven are."Similarly, the reaction of the people from the Westin countries was not good either. Everyone was shocked.Some were amazed at Henry's power.Of course, many other countries expressed their support for Aurelia
Jorge frowned when Henry walked up to the platform. He realized he did not manage to sense Henry's strength and power at all.There were only two possibilities. The first was that Henry was so much stronger than himself that Jorge could not sense his strength. Jorge had already managed to sense Shane and Lucifer's strength.Henry could not be much stronger than the two of them.The other possibility was that Henry had learned a secret technique to conceal his strength.If Jorge did not guess wrongly, it should be the latter.'Trying to scare me with that hideous trick?'Jorge sneered and said disdainfully, "Henry, you coward. Are you finally willing to come forward now? I thought you were going to stay hidden forever."Henry smiled, but his smile was a little cold. He said, "Hide? Since when do I need to hide? About half a month ago, you and your master, Lucifer, had to flee from Aurelia. Have you forgotten about that?""Nonsense!"Jorge was furious when he heard that. First,
"I do hope there are stronger masters today; at least let me warm up a little. Otherwise, it'll be really boring for me."Also, I won't be holding back today. Life and death are not considerations once we're on the platform. I'd like to see if anyone in Aurelia isn't afraid of death."As soon as he said that, many people commented again. Many people were thinking about Henry, whom Jorge had mentioned, but Henry had yet to appear.Many Aurelian masters were furious when they heard Jorge's words and were about to rush to the platform.Flynn stepped forward and was about to go up onto the platform.However, Henry took the lead and went to the platform.Manish, standing next to him, was stunned for a moment. He was the strongest master among the several Worship Masters. Manish was stronger than Albus, but he did not stop Henry.Albus specifically instructed him to arrange for Flynn to join the fight first. Even though he would not be able to defeat Jorge, at least he could exhaust t
