Mateo's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he was overwhelmed by fear and confusion. He had thought himself invincible. He could not understand why Henry was so powerful and could easily crush his force by a single blow.Before he could react further, there was a soft sound in the air, and in the blink of an eye, Mateo had ceased to exist. He had vanished without a trace.Henry shook his head, unimpressed. To him, someone at peak-stage Earthly Immortal was nothing. Even Jorge, who was supposed to be a significant threat, was similar in Henry's eyes.However, Henry would not let Jorge die as easily as Mateo had.Lydia, who had always known Henry was strong, still could not hide her shock. Even though she was stronger than Mateo due to her unique bloodline, she could tell how powerful Mateo had become. Yet, Henry had casually ended him with a single slap.As Lydia processed what had just happened, Oliver appeared. He sensed a powerful force approaching and rushed to intervene, but b
At the same time, Lucifer felt a sudden tremor, as if someone had just tried to probe him with a spiritual sense. However, he quickly shook his head. If someone had attempted to do so, they would have suffered a backlash. After all, he was a peak-stage Grandmaster. He was confident that he could defeat Shane with ease.That confidence came from the fact that he had cultivated a sinister martial arts with a devouring ability. After being gravely injured, he stumbled upon a stroke of fortune, absorbing the stored essence of all previous Westin Curia Masters.That allowed his strength to advance further, reaching the peak stage of Principles comprehension. His power had doubled since then, making him capable of crushing Jorge with a single strike. That tremendous strength instilled fear in Jorge, making him more terrified of Lucifer.Meanwhile, Shane and Albus were anxiously waiting, unaware Henry had already left. After a long wait, they sensed something was wrong and quickly called h
Tim never thought Henry would be the divine doctor. Before he could dwell on it further, a clear and powerful voice echoed from the doorway, "Cobalt Dragon, do you not trust my abilities, or do you doubt your granddaughter's word?"As the voices faded, Henry and Lydia appeared in the room. The crowd was momentarily stunned by their sudden entrance.However, Cindy's attention was immediately drawn to Lydia. She was breathtaking—her entire presence exuded an ethereal elegance that commanded attention.She was stunning. Cindy would not have considered herself less attractive than before Lydia's Phoenix Enlightenment. However, at that moment, she felt she had fallen behind.Still, they each had unique qualities; any man lucky enough to have both would probably feel like he was living in a dream.Tim's expression changed as he spoke hurriedly, "Mr. Truman, why have you returned at this time? Don't you realize that Lucifer is targeting you?""Of course I know," Henry replied with a smi
"Elder Master Drayson, where is Henry Truman, the person you've been talking about?" Flynn frowned.He had personally arrived with the Great Elder. His wife, Jasmine, was also with him despite her frail health, which had been in decline ever since an incident many years ago. She refused to be separated from Flynn. If anything happened to Flynn, she had no desire to live on.Flynn and the Great Elder were there to confront Jorge. Even though the Apex Clan had chosen to remain in seclusion, they would not allow others to wreak havoc in Aurelia, even if they were outmatched.Henry, who was supposed to have arrived long ago, was still nowhere to be seen.Flynn could not help but find Henry's absence arrogant and disrespectful. Given Henry's young age, Flynn doubted Henry's strength compared to his own. After all, Flynn possessed the Phoenix Bloodline, one of the two most powerful bloodlines in existence. Although he had not undergone enlightenment, his talents were exceptional.Just a
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you! I got too emotional." Jasmine apologized, realizing she had startled Lydia with her sudden outburst."It's okay," Lydia replied softly."This bracelet belonged to my mother.""Your mother? Are you sure?" Jasmine's emotions surged again, causing her body to tremble even more intensely.Flynn was equally shaken. At the same time, he quickly said, "Jasmine, your health isn't too good. Don't get too worked up."Jasmine ignored him, her gaze locked on Lydia.Lydia also could not keep her emotions in check."Are you Trinity?" Henry, sensing Lydia's mounting distress, stepped in to ask.Flynn shook his head and said, "Not really.""Yes, I am!" Jasmine said."Serenity Peak Hospital, Trinity—does that sound familiar?"Lydia could no longer hold back her emotions when she heard Jasmine's words. She had never expected to find her biological mother there. After uncovering the truth about everything, Lydia did not resent Jasmine; she only felt symp
After learning about what had happened after she had given birth, Jasmine was filled with a mix of anger and heartache as Lydia recounted her past. Even though it was their first meeting, Lydia felt a kind, motherly love she had never experienced before, unlike anything she had ever received from Jennifer.Lydia had always sensed Jennifer's opportunistic motives but chose not to dwell on them.She had truly experienced the love of a parent that day. Despite their brief time together, the connection between Jasmine, Flynn, and Lydia was undeniable, even without any grand gestures.Jasmine then explained what had happened back then. It turned out that there had been a civil conflict within the Apex Clan, and Jasmine had fled while pregnant. She had always believed her injuries had caused her to lose her baby, which left her with a deep sense of guilt.After Flynn quelled the rebellion and stabilized the Apex Clan, he found Jasmine, but her grief and guilt heavily affected her health.
Henry shrugged helplessly, not bothering to explain.Lydia quickly jumped in and said, "Dad, Henry is incredibly strong. You probably won't win against him.""Did you say I—" Flynn, who had always prided himself on being the strongest in the world, could not believe his daughter said he could not beat a mere young man.There was no way he would accept that without a match. He stood up, ready to spar.However, Jasmine quickly grabbed his arm and said, "What are you doing? It is what it is. Are you really that upset about it?""I—" Flynn was reluctant to admit it, especially in front of his beloved daughter and when it came to his martial prowess, which he valued most. However, he did not want to upset Lydia, so he swallowed his pride and sat back down.Henry could not help but smile at Flynn's reaction, though he knew Flynn was incredibly powerful. If Henry had not comprehended the Principles of Heaven and Earth, he might have actually lost to him. Flynn's unmatched strength, enha
It was eight o'clock soon. Even though Jorge lived near the area, he deliberately went further. He walked on air under the attention of countless people.After comprehending the principles' power, he could walk on air."Look, everyone! Jorge's the man in the air. He can walk freely on air.""That's so terrifying. How is he so strong?""The Aurelian masters were all defeated yesterday. I wonder if they have any plans today.""Well, I knew that Aurelia was weak. How embarrassing."Many people in Aurelia were doing live broadcasts. Many others were making various comments.Although most were still optimistic and supportive, some were also pessimistic. Some Aurelians based in other foreign countries also slandered their country."Look at Master Garcia. He's so handsome!""Master Gacria's fighting skills are incomparable. He can easily kill those trashy Aurelian masters!""Well, I heard that to prevent foreigners from entering Aurelia City to watch the battle, the price of air tic
