Senas felt bolstered by his men's confidence and reassured Senami, "It's okay, Senami. It's as I've told you. No one will ever harm you again as long as I'm here. All you have to do now is rest. Once I capture that Faeastian, I'll execute him myself." Senami grew even more anxious when she saw that none of the men were heeding her warnings. "Father, why won't you listen to me? Remember Grandpa Goode? That monster killed him! Do you guys really want to die?" Senas frowned in the face of the sheer distress in Senami's voice. After all, Senami had always been a brave and composed woman. Yet, she was now terrified. After some thought, he asked, "Tell me. Is the Faeastian who kidnapped you powerful?" "Yes. After all, he is..." Senami hesitated, seeming unsure of how to continue. "Who is he?" Senas looked at her with a puzzled expression. After a long pause, Senami raised her head and said, "He is your lifelong enemy, Father. The only one who has ever defeated you." Senas was
Senas froze in place upon hearing her anxiety-ridden words. After all, she was right. Who would have the ability to kill thousands of soldiers, annihilating over a dozen military camps in the Darkbog Mountains, and killing a Top Legend expert with just a single spear other than the Great Lord of Faeast himself? As Senas thought about it, his face twisted in anguish. "That's why I'm begging you to retreat now, Father. If you don't leave now, it'll be far too late!" Senami urged. "What about you?" Senas asked. "Me?" Senami's face grew bitter. After all, she had no chance of escape since she was under the control of Nox's Death Seal. Nox could still kill her with just a flick of his finger, even if she fled to the ends of the earth. Thus, she was well and truly trapped. However, Senami didn't want to worry Senas further. So, she forced a smile on her face and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll find a way to escape from that monster. Just listen to me and retreat immediately!"
Senami regretted bringing Nox to Snowground and even staying in Sunfall City. If Nox had truly intended to start a massacre, no one could stop him. "You've been using me all along." Senami looked at Nox as her body trembled. "So what? You are just a mere slave," Nox sneered. She teared up as she heard his cold response. "You monster! I'll fight you!" She charged at Nox, unable to bear such humiliation any longer. Alas, her efforts were in vain. Nox unleashed a terrifying force that sent Senami flying with a simple flick of his wrist. Sure enough, Senami crashed into the snow a dozen meters away the very next second. "Senami!" Senas wanted to rush toward her when he saw that Senami had gotten hurt. However, Nox's voice cut through the air, making him freeze in place. "Senas, let's settle our score once and for all." Senas roared angrily in the face of his arrogance, "What do you want?" "What do I want? Don't you have any clue?" Senas stiffened as he replied, "I
Now, Senas was truly terrified as he thought about what Nox was going to do. "The International Court of Arbitration? Good! I'll make sure to prepare my best china when I wait for them!" Then, Nox tossed aside all pleasantries and focused on the battle ahead. As he had said before, his primary aim of coming to Snowground was to destroy them! Suddenly, Nox made a gesture in the air. He was charging up the fifth technique of the Eight Techniques, the Heaven's Demise! As the sword technique appeared, the grayish void suddenly turned purple. Then, Nox used his finger as a guide to draw on the purple cyclone. Soon, nine hundred and ninety-nine swords floated around him. "Merge!" Nox coldly commanded. In that split second, the swords merged into one, transforming into a Divine Extermination Sword. "Strike!" Nox slashed his right hand into the air, causing the giant sword to fall from the sky! As this earth-shattering sword came crashing down, the soldiers and generals of Snowgr
Time stopped before screams and wails echoed throughout the air. Senas' face twisted in anger and horror when he noticed none of his generals were able to withstand even a single round of Nox's attack. In the meantime, the remaining Snowground soldiers were also struck with fear. After all, this was no longer a battle. It was a massacre! Nox had slaughtered an entire army on his own! After Nox unleashed the Technique of Arts from the Eight Techniques, a white light surrounded him, making him look ethereal. Yet, the divine-looking man was surrounded by death. The army before him was Senas' famous elite force. Even the six generals just now were Senas' most trusted soldiers. Yet, they were all defeated by Nox within seconds. At this moment, signs of collapse began to appear within the Snowground army as their morale crumbled like paper. Suddenly, a massive shadow appeared in the sky, looming over Nox. "You are too arrogant, Faeastian! Do you think there's no one left in the
The white-haired old man named Vermilion Spark bowed to Senas as he said, "I am here to aid Lord Senas by order of the Great Priest.""That's wonderful!""With High Priest Vermilion's help, Snowground is saved!"Senas then said to Senami, who was cowering behind him. "Senami, come greet High Priest Vermilion."As the close disciple of a great priest, Senami quickly approached Vermilion and bowed before him. "Ms. Senami, there's no need to be so formal. The Great Priest has instructed you to return to the temple as soon as possible.""But..."Senami abruptly cut herself off as she turned to look at Nox. She had long since plunged into the depths of despair from the moment she was controlled by Nox's Death Seal. That was because she knew it would only take one thought for Nox to kill her. Thus, she was filled with fear. When Vermilion saw fear shining in Senami's eyes, he seemed to catch on to what was happening. He soothed Senami, saying gently, "Don't worry, Ms. Senam
Lord Nox? Vermilion's face twisted in shock the second his brain registered the name. The two high priests behind him reacted in the same manner. "Faeast's god of war?"You mean he was the invincible killing machine who slaughtered his way into the capital of Snowground all by himself six years ago?" Vermilion gasped in shock. "Yes, that was him!" Senas said. "How can it be? Rumors say he has fallen in the Ocean of Death! How can he still be alive?" Vermilion exclaimed once more. "No, he's not dead. He's still alive! Faeast lied to us. They fooled the whole world."Of course, Vermilion believed Senas. That was because Nox had blinded Senas' eye six years ago. As Vermilion looked at Nox and his white garb, his entire body started trembling. "He is Faeast's god of war. It is no wonder he could block my Infernal Spire that easily!" Vermilion mumbled to himself. After that, he turned to Nox. "Well met, Great Lord of Faeast! I have long heard that Faeast's god of war i
Just then, black shadows appeared within the Infinite Cage Formation. While they were rather hazy, every shadow that appeared radiated waves of killing intent and possessed the cultivation level of a Top Legend Realm. They swiftly swooped down and attacked Nox. The formation's ambush caused the air around Nox to shudder. As the surge of energy attacked him, Nox casually waved his hand, causing a terrifying wave of energy that rushed toward the flying shadows. Alas, the shadows were formless. As a result, the shockwaves merely rippled past them while the shadows reformed themselves and continued charging at Nox. "Great Lord of Faeast, you may be extremely strong, but you're delusional if you think you can break the Infinite Cage Formation of the Temple of Light.""The Shadow Execution is the amalgamation of divine punishment. It is formless. No matter how strong you are, the only outcome is death by exhaustion once you enter the formation."Vermilion's lips were tilted upwar
"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
