White Tiger returned not long after, noticing the peaceful surroundings and asking, "My lord, I'm back. Did those monkeys try to steal from us?""It's over. If you had come back a bit earlier, you might've seen it," Alexander replied.There had been a prelude with a few probing moves against the mon
Alexander and his companions did not shy away and walked straight ahead, gradually closing the distance between the two groups.Without even a single semi-Empyrean among them, what could they possibly use to stop him?"Kill these Wyverna folks!" shouted a ninja, disappearing and using the surroundin
"Black Maple Master, you rat!"Atwood thundered in fury, uncontrollably releasing a terrifying aura, causing the spirits within him to rampage. He was a kind person pushed to such an extreme by the situation, indicating a significant impact on him.Years ago, Black Maple Master had approached him wi
"We're going too!"Alexander sheathed his sword and walked toward the entrance of the ancient tower."My lord, should we hurry? They've been inside for quite a while," White Tiger inquired. Some things came to those who came first. If they arrived late, even the spoils would go cold."No rush. If th
The pressure on the stairs was significant, but for Alexander and his companions, it posed no obstacle, and they soon reached the second floor.As they arrived, a puppet's sword slashed towards them, its power formidable. Yet Alexander's senses were keen. With a lift of his hand, a sword aura slashe
The oppressive force on the fourth floor required the strength of a half-step Empyrean to withstand. Although the opportunities were excellent, without the corresponding strength, one could only watch helplessly. The treasures were not so easy to obtain.Alexander could not help but wonder, did the
"Whew!" After a moment, Alexander calmed his mind and settled down.With things having reached this point, he could only accept reality.The words on the ancient sheepskin scroll were clear: 'To enter the realm of the Empyrean, one must gather all eight jade amulets.'He had long known this informat
"It seemed that there was a method to transcend to the Empyrean on the fifth floor. Hand it over," the foreigner stated, making a calculated guess.This move was clearly meant to deceive Alexander, hoping to catch him by surprise. However, Alexander was not one to fall for such a childish trick.He
"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
