"We hit him, general!" one of the tank units yelled in excitement, watching the smoke that was billowing in the air.The other soldiers were elated. "He's finally dead!""He was strong, but he was no match for our tanks!"The Snowground soldiers thought Nox was dead. Even Veron, who was watching the air above, smiled. "Today was not your day." He approached Senami quickly."We've killed the bastard, Ms. Senami. You're safe."Senami probably did not hear Veron. She was staring at the smoke in the sky, muttering, "Is he really dead?""Don't worry, Ms. Senami. A Legend Realm is no match for our tanks," Veron reassured her when he noticed the blank look on Senami's face.However, the smoke in the sky started to shake, and a wave of terrifying pressure came forth. The moment Senami felt it, she shouted in panic, "Oh no! He's still alive!""What?" Veron looked up at the sky, and what he saw was a whirlpool of winds that dispersed the smoke."You think you can kill me, maggots?" Nox'
The only things left on the ground were the bodies of the soldiers Nox had killed before. His Fiery Lotus Golden Eye not only could burn spirits, but it could also vaporize its targets until not even a morsel was left.This was an example of it. Hundreds of people had been vaporized. Looking at the bodies on the ground and the destruction Nox brought, Senami cried in agony.Nox flew down after he was done killing everyone."You demon! Why did you kill them? They were innocent!" Senami rushed at Nox like a madwoman and thumped his chest.However, Nox slapped her again, and Senami was sent flying away once more, just like what happened last time.Senami rolled across the ground and stopped. Her cheek was now bloodied."You damned fool. Do not try to challenge my nation's authority. You have no moral high ground!" Nox said coldly as he looked at Senami.They were at war. Nox represented Faeast, while Senami represented Snowground. Senami thought Nox killing Snowground's soldiers wa
It was as if even the blizzard feared Nox's authority. Senami watched from her prison, staring at Nox dumbfoundedly. "What kind of monster is he?"The cultivation went on. About an hour later, Nox had absorbed all the natural energy here. He seemed to have changed. His looks and aura had morphed significantly.A loud bang later, Nox's eyes snapped open, and they brimmed with light that shone brighter than ever. He raised his hands and muttered, "The natural energy here is still not enough. I need more to cultivate this manual."Nox pushed his hands down and flew down the mountain.Senami could not even move or talk because of the golden barrier. When Nox came down, he waved his hand to remove the barrier. Senami roared angrily, "What do you want to do, you devil?"Nox smiled. "You barbarians tried to invade us and steal our martial arts manuals. What do you think I will do to your country?"Senami said, "You can kill our soldiers, but you're just one man. You don't have the power
The goddess of war could not believe she ran into a demon like Nox, but it was too late to go back. The wheels of fate had started to turn. Her fate was in Nox's hands as well, so there was nothing she could do.Grasping her, Nox flew toward Snowground.…The blizzard was growing heavier in Darkbog Mountains. The winds were howling and biting, while the snow was pelting everything that stood in its way. A large troop of Snowground soldiers were driving toward the border.This troop was a spectacle to see. There were hundreds of tanks in the lead, opening the path for everyone behind them. At the end of the troop was armored cars. There were at least ten thousand soldiers here.In the distance, a military jeep was hurtling toward them at a great speed. It screeched to a halt about a few hundred yards away, and two Snowground soldiers hopped out."We have news!" the soldiers quickly shouted.The Snowground troop stopped as well. One of the warriors said sharply, "Who are you? How
The scout answered Senas' question. All the soldiers' faces fell, including Senas'. Hoarsely, he asked, "Is my daughter alive?" He could not care about anything else right now but his daughter.The scout answered, "The survivors claim that she's still alive, general," the scout replied.Senas heaved a long sigh of relief. "Where are they now?" he asked."Since they have destroyed the 11th encampment, they should be at the 12th now."Senas ordered, "Heed my order! Full speed ahead to the 12th encampment! I don't care who the enemy is, but he will pay!" There was fury in his voice.The troop quickly sped up and made their way to the 12th encampment.…Within the Darkbog Mountains, on the Snowground side of the border, flames shot up from within the 12th encampment. The ground was cracked, and the skies were gray. This was hell on earth.Within this hellscape, a silhouette stood among the flames like a god. He was none other than Lord Nox, and before him, tanks that were sliced
While Nox was on his way to Snowground, back in the Gilded Halls in the Imperial City, a silvery voice said, "Why aren't you sending in the troops for stupid Nox, Father? He's facing a nation all by himself?"The one who spoke was the gorgeous Nineve. She was in a red dress and asking her father some questions. Ever since she returned from Qustian Peak, Nineve had been keeping an eye on Nox's every move.It had been nearly a week since Nox went to Snowground, and she was worried.The emperor only smiled. "Why? Are you worried about him?""Of course I am. He's going up against a whole nation alone," Nineve muttered.The emperor smiled. "Don't you worry. We just got a battle report from the front lines. Go through it, and you'll know there's nothing to worry about."The emperor handed Nineve a report that just came from the border. Nineve opened it up, and the report read, 'The lord has razed a dozen Snowground encampments in Darkbog Mountains to the ground and killed more than twe
"Though Snowground is a minute nation, we have to be on guard against the Temple of Light's priests. It's still a risk that Nox is fighting alone." The emperor said, "Douglas, heed my decree.""Yes, Your Majesty!""I hereby order you to lead 400 thousand units of the Northern Army to the border along Darkbog Mountains and assist Nox in destroying Snowground!"Douglas quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"Once Douglas obliged, the emperor looked into the distance with confidence. "It's time to begin."…Snowground was not a big nation. It was around one-tenth of Faeast's size. Because it was located in a freezing land, there were only about a few dozen million or so citizens.Unlike Faeast, there were no states, only cities. Within one city, snow fell, yet the people kept walking onward. This was Sunfall City, and it snowed all year round here.The Snowgroundians were used to the weather, so they were unafraid of the cold. Then, an ear-piercing siren tore through the air of the
Lightning flashed all over Sunfall City. As thunder boomed, all the citizens looked up at the sky in shock.Then, a dashing silhouette came out of the pool of lightning. Nox was here. When the citizens saw him, they were bewildered."Look, someone just came out of the lighting pool!""Is that a human or a god? He walked out of a whole pool of lightning?"The citizens and soldiers were shocked to see Nox coming out of the lightning whirlpool. Following Nox was a beautiful woman. She was Senami, and she was under the control of Nox's Death Seal.Her erstwhile beauty was replaced by a pale, disheveled look, and she trailed behind Nox like a slave."There's another one? What's with that lady? Why did she show up in the sky?"While the citizens were immersed in shock, Nox's eyes shone as he looked at the city. "Not a bad place. This will do." He flew down like a cannonball. When he landed, the citizens retreated in fear.At the same time, Senami descended and stood behind Nox, looki
"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
Their targets were the relics around the altars. The moment the whirlpool showed up, the black energy conjured black walls and kept Brundela on lockdown, cutting off all communications.Possessed by evil spirits, gods from ancient civilizations came back to life. In the underground graveyard, the dead came bursting out of their coffins, and skeletons with phantom flames flickering around them charged at the holy knights and James' secret agents.Nothing more needed to be said. The holy knights' leader led the charge. The other knights resolved to fight to the death as they battled the skeleton gods.James and his secret agents fired off at the enemies, but the bullets did nothing to the skeletons. All they managed was to light a big spark. Only grenades and howitzers could deal damage to them, and even then, the damage was light.The battle was fierce. Though the knights did not fear death, they were still weaker than the prehistoric gods. These skeletons were nigh invincible, and
Nox was hovering higher than the Ice Temple Lord, and he got everyone's attention."Who's that?""It's a Faeastian!""My God, it's the Nine-State Lord!" Nox was known throughout Faeast and the world. Brundela's council members had recognized him the moment he showed up. They had nothing but fear for gods, yet Nox was the strongest man in the Mortal World, so they respected him.The clouds in Brundela's skies were hanging heavily over the ground, and the icy aura they radiated was making everyone shiver. Winter seemed to have come early for Brundela. The temperature was dipping fast.Back in the control center, intelligence agents were watching the surveillance footage closely, and they noticed the altar. The Twilight Order and Ice Temple cultivators were there, strengthening the altars' seal the best they could. There were soldiers guarding the altar as well.For some reason, the secret agents had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Murphy's Law, as they said.Suddenly,
A sliver of energy flew out of the puppet and gathered natural energy around it. Then, the temperature rose at a blistering rate. Fortunately, Bard's reminder came just in time, and Vermilion Bird was prepared for this. She led her team away from the spot.A pillar of fire engulfed the building, and heat waves shot off in every direction, lethal and deadly. The light eventually faded, and all buildings in a few hundred yards were razed to the ground.If Vermilion Bird had killed the puppet without thinking just now, she would have lost all her men and suffered serious injuries. "That bitch! I'm going to make her into a human swine one day! I'll give her hell!" she cursed.Bard gasped. 'Yeah, women can be really terrifying.' Not one General was a normal person.This incident didn't escape Nox, of course. He saw it through his divine sense. "Heh, you can't fight the flow of history? You say that, Aphrodite, but you've done the same thing more than once. Schemes and plots when your ey
