From the start, the Warringtons, the Magickas, and even the princess thought Nox was done for. He was facing more than fifty Top Legend Realms, after all.A sea of resources, time, and effort were needed for one to become a Top Legend Realm, yet Nox had taken out more than fifty of them in one fell swoop.The Magickas' Top Legend Realm said, "The Blackstones gathered the dissidents from six years ago. That is unforgivable. Only death awaits them."Only the Blackstones were left on the battlefield. Everyone else was dead. There were also weaker members of families standing a thousand feet away, watching this scene with horror in their eyes.They escaped with their lives precisely because they were weak, but then what? Their patriarchs were murdered, and they had no idea what to do next."Your turn," Nox said devilishly. His eyes shone with golden flames, and he looked at Horatio and his retinue coldly.Horatio shivered. He knew this was a consequence of his actions, so begging for
Nox had just said a word, and the guardian was gone. The Magickas, the Warringtons, and the families' survivors could not believe what they were seeing. They knew the weight of a guardian."You're nothing but a spirit, yet you think you can make demands? No one can stop me today. This bastard shall die!" Nox declared proudly.Indeed, who would dare to stop Nox now? It would be a suicide mission. Horatio lost his final hope. He thought the gathering of the Philosophers and the dissidents was enough to kill Nox easily and pave the way for the families' rise to power, but things went horribly wrong.He lost everything. The dissidents were destroyed, and he was nearing death as well."Your turn," Nox said. He descended from the sky and landed before Horatio. His aura kept Horatio pinned down."Please don't kill me. You can't kill me. I'm the Blackstones' heir. The cabinet's orders… You can't kill me! Please!"At the end of his life, Horatio finally groveled before Nox, as if he was a
Nox watched Nineve kill, and he frowned. Even he was surprised that Nineve would kill Horatio.Drunk pouted, holding back his laughter. However, he was thinking, 'Well, Your Highness, that was a wonderful move. Tossing the tool aside once he's outlived his usefulness. Quite a smart move, I must say.'Poor Horatio would never figure out why the princess killed him. He lay in his blood, his eyes filled with dismay and anger. Then, he died.The one who shouted first was Awesome. "Holy shit, that lady is awesome. I like her!" He laughed. "I have a sister back in Mystia, and she's every bit as fierce as this one. They're like two peas in the pod!"Awesome stared at Nineve with excitement in his eyes, gushing to Bear and the others. "Bear, who is she? Tell me? She's so beautiful and fierce!"Awesome thought he was falling in love again. After all, he wasn't expecting women like Nineve to be out here. He loved her."Awesome, don't tell me you like her." Bear looked at Awesome speechless
The Warringtons and the Magickas inhaled sharply. No one dared to speak. They looked at Nox with horror. After all, they were scared of him."Lord Nox, we've never crossed you. The Blackstones were the ones behind this. Please, don't blame the innocent!" Ezra said."We're the same, Lord Nox!" a Warrington representative quickly said. "You saw how the bastard tried to drag us in, but we refused!"Nox said calmly, "Don't worry, I don't kill innocents."Everyone felt calmer. "However, I must know this. Are the families preparing for a rise to power?" Nox looked at the Magickas and the Warringtons coldly.The two families fell silent. A rise to power had always been the Philosophers' dream. The Warringtons, the Magickas, the Confucians, the Myrtles… They were all the same.However, Nox's taboo stopped them for six years. They would be lying if they said they had no complaints. After all, they wanted to rise to power. That was why the Magickas and the Warringtons sent representative
It did not take long for Nox's allies to kill the remaining families' people. The only ones left were the Warringtons and the Magickas. They watched with fear and horror, yet they should be relieved. They had made the right choice, after all.The choice they made ensured their survival and their families' continuation. After Quintus and his friends killed the remaining rebels, Nox turned around and looked at the grove in the distance.Noticing Nox staring at the grove, Nineve asked, "What are you looking at, Nox?""Nothing. Nineve, you stay with Quintus and the guys. I'll be back in a minute." He leaped into the air and flew toward the grove."Hey, where are you going, stupid Nox?" Nineve shouted at the leaving Nox.Drunk came over to her, smiling. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I think he sensed something." He looked at the grove as well."What do you mean, Drunk? What can he sense? We're in the middle of nowhere," Nineve said.Drunk was still smiling, but his eyes were narrowed.
Seeing Nox’s cold expression, Claude quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "He didn’t mean any harm, Nox. Don’t speak to him like that.""That’s right, Nox!" Winston chimed in.However, Nox remained cold and said, "I’ve said before. Ever since the day I left, I have cut ties with the Greenshade family!""This..." Claude felt chills run down his spine.They knew very well how deeply it scarred Nox when Daniel drove Nox and his mother out of the family sixteen years ago. Later, Nox’s mother even died on New Year’s Eve! During that time, as a father, Daniel never showed up even once.Thus, Nox loathed Daniel and the entire Greenshade family to the core. To him, it was the Greenshade family who killed his mother.Just as Claude was about to say something, Daniel suddenly spoke up. "Both of you leave now. Let us have some time alone."Claude and Winston looked up at Daniel and then at Nox. In the end, they sighed and nodded. "Alright." With that, the duo left.Soon, only Da
Nox didn’t look at him, nor did he say goodbye. He just stood there silently like a stone statue. The mountain breeze blew through Nox’s hair. Nox lowered his head and glanced coldly at Rakshasa Harvester’s corpse. Then, a golden lotus flame flickered in his eyes.In that split second, the Rakshasa Harvester’s corpse was burned into ashes.After the body was burned to ashes, Nox turned around and walked away....The battle at Old Dragon's Peak was over. Unfortunately, this famous tourist destination had now become a ruin. Even the Starcatcher, which had stood for a thousand years, had completely collapsed into rubble.Among the ruins, people stood there chatting and laughing. On the other hand, Nineve stood aside while silently waiting for Nox.Today, she felt conflicted. Initially, she wanted to take revenge on Nox, but when the latter was really in danger, she began to regret her decision! Now that Nox was safe and sound, she couldn’t help but feel hesitant again, especially w
Given his sharp-witted nature, Awesome immediately understood what was up after hearing Nineve's question.While scratching his bald head, Awesome thought, 'It looks like Princess Nineve really has a huge crush on the boss. Obviously, she is probing me for information now. No way! Boss is someone I highly respect. I can't screw him over! I must assist him well and be his most helpful sidekick.'After having such a thought in his mind, Awesome immediately said sensibly, "Princess Nineve, that's where you're wrong. Although Boss is surrounded by many beautiful women, he seems to be into you the most."'What?' Nineve gasped inwardly upon hearing that.She widened her eyes in shock, and her face wore a disbelieving look as she asked, "You're telling me that stupid Nox Greenshade loves me?""Yes, that's right. Let me tell you, Princess Nineve. Boss actually cares about you. In fact, he kept saying your name in his sleep last time. He even personally told us that you are his future wife
Douglas worked through the night for the negotiation."One, you must apologize for your invasion of Faeast. Two, you will return all stolen relics to us and pay for damages. Three, you will open trade with Faeast, and it must be complete and total. Those are our demands. We promise not to interfere with your nation's administration. Once the aid is administered, our fleet and army will retreat from Brundela."And one more thing. Faeast recognizes you as Brundela's new ruler." That was interesting. It also meant that Faeast could rescind that recognition at any time. Elizabeth had no choice. Without Faeast, Brundela would be gone. In the end, the nations arrived at an agreement.At midnight, they called a press conference. Faeast helped Eropa settle a war and avert a world disaster. That news took the world by storm. The Eastern dragon was rising, and none could stop it. It wouldn't take long for Faeast to return to the top.Brundela's case was over. After they gave enough aid, Ferg
"They call you Great Generals?" the Ice Temple Lord laughed. "If I do want to betray him, how do you hope to stop me? You three had to take me on together, and it only ended in a draw. Now that I'm an Emperor and White Tiger is in a slumber, I can destroy you in a moment!"The Ice Temple Lord looked at Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise with disdain. Vermilion Bird's eyes were wide. She didn't care. She would fight the Temple Lord to the bitter end if she must.Black Tortoise was the calmer one, and he pulled Vermilion Bird back. "Calm down. Even if he wants to betray the lord, he at least would want to see the lord's body before he tries anything."Even a woman like Aphrodite lost this fight. He wouldn't dare try anything stupid."The Ice Temple Lord was still smug about being an Emperor, and now his celebration was cut short. Betraying Nox required a lot of courage. Nox's power terrified him. Even if he couldn't win the fight, Nox could at least come back safely.Besides, he only
The formation Nox created with the Sovereign Seal was on the brink of destruction. Once the formation was gone, the Sovereigns and the spirits would return to dust. In this final moment, Brundela's Faeastian called their friends and family in their homeland and projected the modern-day Faeast onto the gigantic screen in the plaza.The spirits cried when they saw how developed their nation had become. The Sovereigns and the rulers were meticulous people. They used to rule over a unified nation, so they knew how hard it was to create a dynasty. Every dynasty would have its peak and nadir.Every time a dynasty was on a decline, Faeast would be in danger. They didn't talk about the truth behind that video, of course. They admired the beautiful land of Faeast as they waited for their final moment to arrive."The hardest and darkest moment is behind us, sirs. Faeast has me now. You may rest in peace. I will not let you down. I will destroy the canker that infects Faeast and give it the pe
"You're going nowhere! Die!" The Sovereigns chased after the spirit, and a hundred rulers followed. They trapped the Titan's spirit and ripped him to shreds."Holy shit! That's the ancient Faeastian Sovereigns for you!" White Tiger roared with pride. He was on the roof of a tower somewhere.Emperor Elijah narrowed his eyes and exchanged a look with the other Sovereigns. He hurled the remaining essence of the Titan's spirit to White Tiger and stuffed him with it. The energy filled White Tiger up, and he ballooned. Black, rancid energy came out of his body, and he fell into madness.Nox cast Heaven's Demise and sealed White Tiger's consciousness. The Ice Temple Lord, realizing what the Sovereigns were trying to do, encased White Tiger in a coffin of magic ice."This is an impressive underling you have, Nine-State Lord. Devouring spirits gives him power. Anyone else would've lost their minds and become a killing machine, but White Tiger's already mad to begin with. There's no further
"The third kind of Emperor uses natural energy, the power of Yin and Yang, and the elements to become one. Since they use all kinds of elements and energy to become an Emperor, they are practically invincible."The Ice Temple Lord was excited. "So, you're saying I'm the strongest kind of Emperor?"Nox was speechless. "No, what I was trying to say was you took the wrong path. You could've absorbed the energy in the heavens, but you absorbed the Yin energy in the ground. You're stronger than Frostmir, but his level was higher, so you'd still be no match for him." Nox pursed his lips."Eh?" The Ice Temple Lord was disappointed. He thought he could be on par with Nox once he became an Emperor. The Ice Temple Lord wasn't the only one who gained power. The Ice Temple cultivators did as well. Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird gained a lot of power, too.Vermilion Bird was now a Flawless Supreme, Black Tortoise was an Advanced Supreme, while White Tiger was an Intermediate Pi
The fact that Nox could cast Sovereign Seal showed the Ice Temple Lord a new level of power. The Sovereign was more terrifying than the gods. 'No wonder they could rule the world in ancient times.'The ancient Sovereigns and rulers of Faeast attacked their enemies. The fate of Faeast gathered over their heads, piercing the clouds that hung over them. The weaker monsters were all slain, and Emperor Hans pierced the pharaoh with his spear, returning him to dust.Emperor Blade killed the god of another ancient civilization. The evil energy possessing them was purified. Moments later, the only gods left were the Titans. Unlike the possessed gods, the Titans were ancient cultivators.Even if they didn't master any spells or techniques, they'd trained their bodies to their absolute best. The Sovereigns and rulers didn't have much advantage against these enemies.These spirits were only summoned through the relics and the remnants of energy left within. Their bodies were gone, and their s
The talismans were Magic Mountain's Forbidden Art, and Nox had fused them with Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual. Nox's mentors back in Mystia had taught him the Sovereign Seal earlier than expected.Their goal was simple. If Nox became the Sovereign, he could use the seal to command all the natural energy around him. If he didn't become the Sovereign, he would teach the Sovereign how to use the seal.The Sovereign Seal was a Saintly technique and the most ancient technique around. It was stronger than a Celestial technique.A golden seal brighter than the sun slowly rose into the air. It was the Sovereign Seal.As it appeared, natural energy gathered around it. The energy flew into the relics Brundela took from Faeast. Within a museum not open to the public, a bronze sword started to tremble as natural energy flowed into it. That got the attention of a professor."That sword belonged to Faeast's Emperor Elijah! What is going on?"A silhouette came out of the sword, and his aura was maj
Back in the navy command center, Fergus got the drone footage of Brundela's latest development. There were a few generals from the Nox Army with him. They could see that the monsters in the capital were far stronger than the ones they took out."It's a pity the capital is too densely populated. We have the weapons, but we can't use them." Fergus slammed the table in frustration. Even if the capital were to fall into enemy hands and the people torn apart by the monsters, Fergus could not order his men to fire at the capital, or things would be bad for them.Fergus could only open fire if the monsters were in a no man's land."Commander Parrish, the lord has orders. We are to keep the waters guarded. Once the capital's crisis is over, we are to make our way to the port and give humanitarian aid," a Nox Army general said telepathically. He just got Nox's orders."Is that so? Then Nox can stop this crisis." Fergus' eyes shone. He had no idea what Nox was planning, but he was the Sovere
Demons were walking the lands of Brundela. Legendary creatures were roaming the streets as if the end of days were here. The resurrected monsters were causing chaos everywhere. When the Titans showed themselves, despair washed over Brundela.There were too many monsters running around. Even after the Twilight Order and Ice Temple cultivators sent out everyone they had, it still wasn't enough to stop these creatures. The monsters went straight to the council hall, and so did the Titans.The Ice Temple Lord created a Magic Ice Formation and kept using Forbidden Arts and mystical artifacts to fend off the enemies. He had already done his best."You have to do something, Nine-State Lord. I can't hold on much longer!" the Ice Temple Lord said telepathically.Though monsters were about, they were not a threat to the Ice Temple Lord. he could leave anytime he wanted, but he had a deal with Nox. If he were to desert the battlefield, he would face a hell far worse than he could imagine late
