Nineve could not calm down. All she had running in her mind was Drunk's advice: take Nox's virginity. Only then could she truly be his woman.As the dress was torn off, Nineve's shoulder was revealed. Her beauty and curves were unparalleled, especially the latter. She had a perfect body, and her skin was glimmering like pearls, yet it was soft and supple.Nineve took her clothes off with one hand while holding Nox in the other, kissing him. Nox was stunned. He just wanted to console Nineve, but instead, he made her passion flare.Nineve's breathing was getting faster, and her clothes were all taken off, revealing her perfect body, long, fair legs, and busty chest before Nox's eyes."Nineve, you can't…" Nox wanted to stop Nineve's antics, but Nineve was already beside herself. She did not care what Nox had to say. Instead, she fell into his embrace and kissed him greedily.Nox was just a man at the end of the day. With a beautiful woman in his embrace, Nox's willpower crumbled in m
When Nox noticed the odd look on her face, he asked in concern, "What's wrong, Nineve?"Nineve shook her head. "It's nothing," she said quickly.Nox had no idea why Nineve was having a stomach ache. He was about to press further, but then he saw patches of red on the sheets, and he froze. Then, he understood what was going on. It was Nineve's first time. So, her stomach hurt a little after their night of passion."Sorry, Nineve." Nox was looking at the red patches.Nineve blushed and covered the patches with the blanket. "Don't apologize to me. I'm yours, after all."Nox was a little touched."Stop worrying about me and get up. You have some Snowground bastards to kill." Nineve quickly turned around and changed into new clothes in case Nox started worrying too much.The lovers got changed and washed themselves up. Since Nineve wasn't bringing up last night's events, Nox would not talk about it either. After all, it was hard to bring this up.After breakfast, Nineve was finally
Three days later, a dashing silhouette was leaping through Darkbog Mountains, appearing in the desert area of the mountain range. This man was none other than Nox. Although the mountain range was a few thousand miles away from Darkbog Mountains, it was nothing for someone like Nox.The ground shook when Nox landed. "Finally here." Nox looked at the endless expanse sharply. He fought Snowground's troops in these mountains, and a million of their elites lay dead in these peaks.Now, Nox had returned for blood once more. This mountain range was almost endless, and Nox was heading to the borders of the mountains. That was where Faeast's army was stationed, as well as Snowground's.Nox leaped once more and cannoned into the mountain range. There were a lot of native tribes living inside, and most of them led primitive lives. In the distance, a tribe that lived in yurts stood. They were the Ertson Tribe.This tribe had existed for a few hundred years, but it was not a big one. There were
As the soldiers chased the goats out, a middle-aged woman charged up to them. "Those are my goats! You can't take them!"A Snowground soldier kicked her down. "Don't get in my way, bitch!"The kick did not dampen the woman's spirits. Instead, she grabbed the soldier's leg. "Let my goats go, you animals! Give them back!"The woman was no match for these soldiers. The soldier smacked the woman's head with his gun's handle, causing blood to trickle from the woman's head."Mom!" the woman's child screamed in fear."You should feel honored I'm taking away your stuff, Faeast bastards! How dare you stop me!"The Snowground soldiers laughed raucously at the weak villagers. None of them dared to stop these bandits.The leader said, "Take these goats back!"The Snowground soldiers started corraling the goats onto the jeeps. Suddenly, a voice said, "Hold it right there, Snowground bastards!"The one who spoke was the tanned old man, Dom. He was the tribe's chief and the only guardian of
Since the soldiers wanted to fight, Dom said, "Come at me, then."The boy beside him looked at him with concern. "Grandpa, your leg's not healed yet!"Dom smiled and patted the boy's head. "Don't you worry. I can still kill these bastards." He stepped forth.The soldiers laughed derisively when Dom actually took them up on their challenge. The leader said, "So, who wants to play with the old man?""I'll do it." A burly soldier stepped forth. He handed his gun to his companion and strode ahead. A saber hung from his belt.The soldier unsheathed his weapon and sneered at Dom. "I'm going to wash my blade with your blood, old man!""Shut it, you Snowground bastard! We're settling this here and now!" said Dom sharply.The soldier said no more. He held his saber level to his chest and swung it at Dom's head. It was evident he wanted this battle over with immediately.Dom held up his saber and blocked it. The metals clashed, and sparks flew."Did you just stop my attack, old man?" Th
"Gariel, kill that old bastard and avenge our fallen brothers," growled the leader.Gariel swung his saber with even more ferocity, attacking Dom time and time again. Although Dom was in his sixties, his movements did not waver. Instead, he blocked all of Gariel's attacks with precision.Hence, Gariel started to panic after dozens or so failed attacks. Dom then held his saber level to his chest and retaliated, his hits as numerous as raindrops.A moment later, Gariel showed an opening. Dom noticed that right away and swung his saber at Gariel's waist. Gariel tried to stop it, but it was too late. The saber sliced through Gariel, causing him to scream.Before anyone could react, Gariel was split in two. His body fell, and his blood dyed the ground crimson."Nice, Dom!" the villagers whooped and cheered at the clean victory.Dom held his saber tightly, blood trickling down its edge. The old man's visage he donned was discarded for the fearsome soldier he once was."How dare you ki
Nox had arrived in the nick of time. The Snowground soldiers regarded his arrival with wide eyes."Who goes there?" the Snowground soldier's leader roared.A wave of powerful aura morphed into an invisible, gigantic hand before falling on him. The poor soldier was flattened before he could even retaliate.The other soldiers were petrified. That was also the case for Dom and the other villagers. They weren't expecting Nox to kill those soldiers' leader without even moving."H-He killed the general!" a Snowground soldier shouted. "Open fire! Kill him!"The other soldiers quickly snapped out of it before pointing their guns at Nox. Bullets streaked and flew at Nox, but he remained in the sky and didn't even bother dodging. Instead, he looked at the soldiers mercilessly."If you're trying to get yourself killed faster, maggots, you got it!" He sneered and waved his hand. The bullets slammed into a wall of destructive energy, and they flew back like cannonballs.The soldiers screamed
Nox looked at the corpses coldly and asked suddenly, "Sir, tell me, how did these maggots barge into our country?"Though this place bordered Snowground, it still belonged to Faeast. Nox had to know why Snowground soldiers were here.Dom sighed. "Ever since General Senas was stationed here, these bastards have been toeing the border, and they'd rob tribes like us blind. Sometimes they'd kill us too."The look in Nox's eyes took on a chilly glint. He was the guardian of this nation, and now his people were being abused by these invader scum. He was naturally furious."And the soldiers? What are they doing?" Nox asked sharply. This was a piece of land belonging to Faeast, so there were soldiers stationed here. The troops Nox asked about were naturally Faeast's soldiers."Sir, we have nothing but two thousand soldiers stationed here. They are no match for Senas' hundred-thousand-soldier army. The chief commander himself was taken away by a diplomat from Imperia and imprisoned.Nox's
Three months later, Nox declared Faeast as the leader of all nations, ushering in a true era of peace and prosperity. Then, he abdicated the throne, passing the throne to Nineve. Nox proclaimed that this nation was neither the Greenshade nor the Limerent family's, but a world that belonged to its people.One year later, Nox and Queenie lounged under the warm sun on the sandy shores of the Ocean of Death, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The world had finally settled into peace, allowing them to take a well-deserved rest."Nono, what's Aphrodite up to?" Queenie asked, her brows furrowed as she leaned against Nox. "Is she planning something shady again? She's been building alliances all over like she wants to imitate the Three-Eyed Empress.""Death changes people," Nox replied calmly. "Don't worry about her. She knows exactly what she's doing."Old Aphrodite would've killed Jacques and run off to save herself without a second thought. Instead, she spared him, stripped his cul
The Nine-State Crucible hovered majestically over the heavens, drawing all the spiritual energy from the Nine States and Five Domains into itself. As the ultimate artifact of Faeast, the crucible was unmatched—a legendary relic that had never known defeat.The origins of the Nine-State Crucible were shrouded in mystery. No one knew who forged it nor why it disappeared over the ages. For centuries, many dismissed it as a mere myth. Yet now, it reappeared, proving its existence—and, by extension, the truth of all the ancient legends tied to it.The sight left every cultivator present in awe, bowing in reverence to the artifact."The ancient sovereigns of Faeast forged the Nine-State Crucible to safeguard the Nine States and Five Domains. "Its power ensures that Ascendants cannot interfere with the mortal realm. It has crushed even Ascendants in the past, and you, still merely a mortal cultivator, think you can stand against it? I promised to crush you, and I will!"With Nox at it
However, only Nox himself could sever the celestial providence. Only by cutting off the Celestial Lord's celestial providence could Faeast's providence be restored to its peak."Damn it! Nox Greenshade! Do you really think you can defy the heavens? I didn't want to damage my cultivation, but it seems I have no choice but to go all out! You think a one-ring Minor Saint can defeat me? I am the Celestial Lord—the apex of mortals, the Great Saint of Dao and Virtue, ordained by the heavens themselves!"The Celestial Lord's furious roar resonated across Mystia, drawing in vast waves of spiritual energy from the realm that converged upon him alone."Great Saint of Dao and Virtue? If the so-called heavens of the Transcendent Firmament made you, it only proves that even they have failures," Nox retorted coldly.Even the Celestial Lord, enraged as he was, could scarcely believe Nox's audacity—daring to disparage the mighty figures of the Transcendent Firmament."I am indeed a one-ring Minor
'What? Griffin was a sworn brother to Magic Mountain's founder?!'"That's right," confirmed the formation master. "He only told us recently."As the first to learn of this connection, he had shared it with the Saints of the Five Elements, ensuring they wouldn't betray their alliance. Using the promise of ascension as leverage, he managed to secure their cooperation. After all, the Great Saint of Fire had already reached the threshold for ascension.The risks were minimal, and upon ascending to the Transcendent Firmament, the Magic Mountain's founder would surely offer his guidance. For that reason alone, the five mentors had rallied to aid Nox.With such mighty forces gathered, morale on Nox's side soared. Meanwhile, the Whitefield family's spirits plummeted, crashing from the heights of hope to the depths of despair in mere moments. The mental strain caused several of their weaker-willed members to break completely.With dread settling over them, the Whitefields could only place
The Whitefields were getting cocky, but then they realized the powerhouses that came weren't responding. The aura was powerful, but there was no life in it. On closer inspection, they noticed that the leader of the group only had half a body left. His soul was missing. The quartet behind him was nothing but a pile of mincemeat.The portal buzzed again, and seven silhouettes came out. Five of them felt domineering, and they looked prideful. It almost felt like they were peerless. These people were none other than the Saints of the Five Elements.Four of them were Pinnacle Minor Saints. While one had an aura so strong, this place couldn't handle it."A Great Saint! Great Saint of Fire!" Fiery Ignis, Dominic, and Achille couldn't believe their eyes.It had been too long since Mystia saw a Great Saint, and he was Nox's mentor."So, he's the one who broke through first. But now he's already hit his bottleneck. The other four's power isn't enough. If the Sacred Beast Seal isn't upgraded
The Montgomerys and the Byrds decided to see Nox together, but they were refused. They were cursing Nox and calling him disrespectful, but then they saw Nox and his team taking a portal to the path of the ancient divine."What? He went right to them? Why? He's going to fight the Celestial Lord now?" The representatives were shocked.'How dare they!' they thought.Nox and his team went through the portal quickly and appeared right over the Whitefields' place. The Whitefield family was the newest member of the divine four and the real mastermind behind the Inkdarks' demise."Kirin, I told you I'd take you back here someday. I told you that when we come back, the Whitefields will be no more. If you can't do it, I can wipe them out for you." Nox looked at Kirin."Don't look down on me, milord. You don't need to dirty your hands for them. I'll do it!" Kirin summoned his avatar, and with Saint power infused, the avatar turned into a real beast. The sacred beast itself descended upon the
"Time to finish this. My lord's going to the path of the ancient divine next. You should decide who's going to take over after the Celestial Lord is taken down. That's all. Now let's talk about our personal business. Listen up, anyone who had a part in attacking my family, tell your clans that I'm coming for them. I'm killing all of you!"Bloodlust filled the air, and the representatives were shocked. "You killed your own family. Yes, we made them attack you, but we never wanted to wipe it out!" the Whitefields' representative said.Kirin flew into a rage. "How low can you go? You forced them to kill me, or you would wipe us out instead! You think I'm stupid? You'd have killed my family either way! I know how you guys function. You're crueler than any beast out there. Listen up, there's still time to plan for your funeral. You'd better make a good plan."Kirin chased everyone away. The families were going back to prepare for battle, but two remained behind. One was the Byrds' repres
Nox's Magick Sword crushed the enemy leader's soul. "I said I would cut you down, and I did. Now do you see who's the ignorant one?"The enemy leader realized that Nox was the man at the pinnacle. Perhaps the moment Nox became a faux Saint, he was already no match for him. "So what if you can kill me? You are Faeast's Sovereign, and you have a duty to push Faeast to power. But the Celestial Lord still exists. As long as he is around, your wish will never be fulfilled." He sneered."Is that so? Well, he's next on the list to be culled. If anyone tries to make an enemy out of me, I will destroy them and their families, even if they are from the path of the ancient divine!"Nox shattered the remains of the soul, and the path of the martial's leader was no more. The problem harassing Faeast for millennia could be solved at long last. Achille was stunned. It hadn't been that long, but Nox had surpassed him.Nox was better than him in every way. He was an even better swordsman than Achil
The enemy leader was waiting. One technique broken wasn't enough to take Nox out. He wanted to wait until Nox had cast all he knew and find an opening to take him down, but Nox wanted to take him down with the power of the sword."You're stubborn. Very well, this makes things easier for me. I'll kill you, or at the very least, wound you!" He'd be stupid not to take advantage of this. The enemy leader's avatar morphed into a gigantic fist and slammed into Nox's chest.The impact shot through his body and reached his soul. Nox spat blood, and his soul was injured.Achille couldn't stand by anymore. Nox just told him not to push himself, but he wasn't taking his own advice. Then, Nox's weak will-of-the-sword shone blindingly, and then Unto the Origin appeared once more."Even under my pressure, you can use this technique? You're strong, but you're as stubborn as your mentor. You've lost your chance! Die! You'll never get here in time, Achille! Shadowkill!"The enemy leader's avatar t
