The stone door creaked as it slowly moved to either side. These two doors were incredibly heavy, and even White Tiger's forehead was beaded with sweat."Whew!" White Tiger exhaled as the stone doors fully opened, releasing his exertion in a sigh.Inside, tiny points of light revealed what looked lik
Alexander advanced along the passage, noticing that those who had gone ahead were standing dumbfounded at the corner, staring straight ahead as if something struck them in awe."Are you staring at a mountain of gold or something? Why are you just standing there?" Alexander teased."It is, though!" M
"Money, or your life?"Alexander sent out another series of powerful energy waves, obliterating a large swath of enemies. He felt an urge to kick the man dragging his feet at this critical moment.If it were not for the burdensome Quigg family members, Alexander would have unleashed his full combat
The group hastened their steps upon hearing the news, rallying their spirits once more. Their ultimate destination remained the Iceman.Dak concealed his thoughts behind a glint in his eyes, unnoticed by any.The temperature in the passage plummeted as they delved deeper, forcing some of the Quigg f
"Hm? You're the young lad who escaped all those years ago," remarked the Iceman, casting a pensive gaze at the bowing Yaromir."Yes. I knew you were trapped here, so I came to rescue you," Yaromir flattered shamelessly.At that, Iceman's expression crumbled, giving way to a thunderous roar."Save me? Do I look like I need a measly ant like you to rescue me? What nonsense!"A few squads trespassed here years ago, waking me up. I went to the trouble of amplifying penguins and sealing the palace gates, awakening the Polar Worms, yet you still insist on intruding."The timing wasn't right, and you forced me to break the ice, ruining my careful plans. Now, you shall die!"The Iceman's rage increased as he spoke. His eyes turned blood-red, his long hair swirled wildly, his face radiating menace.An Ancient Evil Cultivator!Seeing this, Alexander recalled the records in ancient texts. The person before him bore an uncanny resemblance to the Ancient Evil Cultivators.Who would have thought tha
"We won!" Maxine, watching the battle, clenched her fists and jumped for joy. They wanted to help, but in a battle of this scale, they could not intervene at all."Don't play dead, old monster!" Alexander shouted toward the ice pile.A being who survived from ancient times with the ability to freeze was prone to have more to them than what met the eye. Though they landed a blow, it did not give them the upper hand; it was merely the result of the opponent's carelessness.Boom!The ice exploded, and Hugh Frost emerged, his clothes tattered, looking even more deranged."Haha! Well done. You've succeeded in provoking me!" he exclaimed. Once a formidable force in his own right, being sent flying by someone barely semi-Empyrean was a great humiliation."Hey, quit the tough talk. You're all bark and no bite," Alexander teased."Internal Body Ignition!" Hugh roared, his blood flowing rapidly, causing his body to grow a size larger and tearing his loose clothes apart.While his aura remained u
In the heart of the Quigg family's residence, cries echoed across the fields. Many members of the Quigg family were locked in cages, loaded onto vehicles for mechanical transformation."Don't! Let us go!""Please, I'll work diligently in the mines! Don't turn me into an experiment.""When my brother
The atmosphere at the Quigg family's base was hectic.Alexander single-handedly surrounded hundreds of mechanically enhanced individuals and dozens of overseers, chasing them all over the place. However, the enemies before him were too weak, and Alexander could not muster any fighting spirit. He jus
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
