Thick fog rolled down Temple Road, accompanied by distant shouts of people and the clashing of armor and weapons. An ancient army dressed in tattered armor marched onto the street, numbering tens of thousands.The dense fog enveloped everything, rendering faces indistinguishable within ten meters. However, the ancient army remained clearly visible.The tall and strong leader knelt before Chad when the ancient army approached him."Awaiting your command, General!""Command—forge my immortal body with your being!""Yes, sir!"As the tall and sturdy leader spoke, the ancient army that had emerged from the dense fog vanished into black mist.The black, lifelike mist entered Chad's body through his orifices.Crack...Chad's broken spine was restored due to the leader's words; his figure grew taller, and two jet-black eagle-like wings sprouted from his back.Chad's appearance became ferocious and terrifying, resembling a demon from hell. A second immortal crown, black in color, app
Balaro was still alive and kicking. However, the intense pain in Chad's head and the rapidly digesting inheritance prevented him from taking any action. It was as if his mind and body were disconnected!As the dense fog on Temple Road dissipated, Ayo and Shuten approached from a distance. Each carried a sword around their waist, which they drew out when they were about seven to eight meters from Chad.Both took a stance, bending their knees and preparing their swords. The next moment, dust rose from the ground as they vanished from their previous positions.They reappeared next to Chad instantly, one sword thrusting forward and the other slashing backward at him.Clang!Following a metal clang, Bernard grabbed both sword blades with his hands. Blood flowed from his hands, but the two swords absorbed it before it could hit the ground."These are demonic swords!" Bernard exclaimed, shocked. He clenched his teeth and flung the two away.Ayo steadied herself and proudly exclaimed, "
The compass was centered on Peak Institute, and when Balaro reappeared, he stopped five meters away from Chad. A giant hexagram appeared beneath Balaro's feet, trapping him.However, he sneered and pointed his twin swords at the ground. Suddenly, the massive compass vanished!"Damn it!"Meran's voice came from Peak Institute, where two deep cuts on his arms revealed almost all of his bones."Ah!" Seis sighed helplessly as he sat slumped in his grand chair in Cloth Alley, his chest red with blood.At that point, they had both used their final attacks to save Chad, who would decide what happened next.Balaro drew his twin swords and proudly said, "It's over! Third strike—Divine Slayer!"However, Balaro approached Chad gradually, step by step.Crack!Chad's fourth immortal crown on his head shattered as he took the first step.Chad's body changed subtly. The divine skill of immortality had been perfected!Crack!When Balaro got three meters away from Chad, the third immortal c
It was a hollow victory. Everyone had misjudged the Saffronesians' intentions from the start.Meran and Seis were compelled to take desperate measures to contain Balaro. Otherwise, they could have used other methods to restrain him. Even Bernard had been forced into that.Chad's aura plummeted like a cliff at the time. He had only just entered Cloth Alley when he collapsed and fainted.Almost immediately, the congested traffic surrounding Temple Road began to subside, and the area fell silent.The 15 million in cash was left on the road. The wind blew away the wads of money.Theoden watched from the shadows, chuckling with his hands behind his back.Behind him stood Esther, who should have been back in Fearsome Mountain. "Can I step in to save them now?!"Theoden smiled and replied, "Of course! But I have a question. What level do you think Balaro was?"Esther looked at Theoden coldly and said, "If that brat had fallen into my hands, I would've killed him with a single strike!
He could be reborn as long as the relic existed, even if it was only a complete bone!Balaro was willing to take the risk because it occurred so long ago.He gazed out the window and smiled smugly.He could have stayed down in the final moments before his heart was ripped out.However, he did not, and he used his dual-pupillary eyes to steal some Mystic inheritances from Chad!"Two of the six techniques have been obtained. We can start right now!"Balaro muttered as the plane flew toward Saffronesia in the distance.Meanwhile, Esther walked into Cloth Alley and checked on Marilyn and Matilda to ensure they were still alive.Then she lifted Chad and entered Seis' courtyard.She was unaware that Chad's scrolls had fallen to the ground."Why are you back? How's the kid?"Seis, who was sitting dazed in the living room chair, noticed Chad and could not wait to ask him.Esther checked Chad's pulse and said, "He will not die!""I didn't ask if he'd live. This kid will not die. I'
Marilyn always carried a family photo with her, one that included her brother and parents.However, she resembled her father rather than her mother.When the Zenith Organization's chief saw the photo, she often commented that Marilyn resembled her father, whereas her brother resembled their mother.So, Marilyn was wary of Hansens' words because she did not understand why he said them.However, Hansen looked at Marilyn and did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Snow, where's your brother? What happened here?"Marilyn said, "I don't know, and I'm Marilyn, not Snow.""You're not Snow?! Have you lost your memory, child?"Hansen was surprised, but after confirming that he was not mistaken, he did not press further.Finally, he looked at Matilda and was even more surprised, wondering how an ordinary person like Matilda could be involved.So, using his strength, he picked up Matilda and asked Marilyn, "Can you walk? Do you need help?"Marilyn shook her head and tried, but she could no
After Matilda explained everything, Marilyn finally realized what had happened before the incident.However, based solely on Matilda's account, Marilyn still could not recall anything.After hanging up the phone, Matilda called Chad to let him know Marilyn was fine. However, Chad's phone was turned off, so she considered going to Temple Road to check. Unfortunately, when she tried to stand up, she felt extremely sore.It felt like she had been in a fight, with sharp pain tearing through her limbs. She could not do anything but rest quietly in the hospital.Meanwhile, Marilyn was with Janette. She handed the scroll to Janette and said, "This is very important. You must deliver it personally and not to anyone else!"Janette accepted the scroll and said, "Rest assured; I'll deliver it personally so that my father can wake up!"Marilyn confidently said, "Your father is only temporarily unconscious. He'll wake up; trust me!""Hmm! I'll take your word for it!" Janette smiled as she wa
After the ritual, Youlee endured a hellish seven days before returning to life.Youlee discovered Chad's severe injury after hers had healed. She then started taking care of Chad. Fifi eventually visited Cloth Alley.They were arguing fiercely that day about who would bathe Chad, which irritated him greatly.Chad finally decided to stop pretending to be asleep and talk to both of them. "Alright, I don't need you to care for me anymore. Please leave so I can have some peace, okay?"Both of them were stunned to see Chad awake. Then Youlee screamed and charged at Chad, "Ah! You finally awoke!"Fifi, tears in her eyes, silently watched Chad awaken, feeling mixed emotions.Esther stated that Chad's chances of being able to practice again after waking up were extremely slim.She explained that Chad's body contained abundant stagnant internal energy, sufficient to cultivate an earthbound immortal.However, the excess internal energy clogged Chad's circulation, rendering his power inef
