"Dammit, Top Legend Realms?" Oldsmoke's face fell.Redsleeve looked shocked as well. "Who are you? Why did you barge into this place?" Oldsmoke asked, mustering his courage."I'm here for Greenshade. Anyone who's not him better get out of my way or die!" said Yorhar coldly."What? You're looking for Master Nox?" Oldsmoke's expression froze. He looked at Yorhar and the Top Legend Realms behind him. "He's not here. You've got the wrong place," said Oldsmoke.A Top Legend Realm behind Yorhar harrumphed. "You talk too much." Then, he leaped ahead as a dangerous flash of light glinted in the air.Oldsmoke was not weak by any means, but he was only a Legend Realm. So, he had no choice but to give it his best shot when faced with a Top Legend Realm. Thus, he hastily shoved all his power into his palms and lashed out, strongwind howling around him.Alas, the Top Legend Realm lashed his palm out at the same time. Their palms clashed, and strongwind roared. Oldsmoke bled from his nose and
When Keith checked that they were mostly fine, he raised his head and looked at the Top Legend Realm and Yorhar angrily. At the same time, Bard, Steely, and Madison warily left the estate.When they saw Redsleeve and Oldsmoke bleeding, their faces turned angry.The aura of Tiger Demon swirled around Keith. "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here?" He was already burly, to begin with. So, he looked like a particularly large brute coupled with the avatar of a tiger behind him."I've heard of your name, Supreme Tiger. We meet at last." Horned stepped forth.Keith looked at Horne coldly when he realized that someone had recognized him. "You're from a family?""Good eye, Commander Moon. Wilheimer Horne, member of a southwest family."Keith's expression turned icy. Bard and Madison looked solemn as well. After the battle of Old Dragon's Peak, the Philosophers daren't pull any tricks. That could only mean that Wilheimer's family was not in the ranks of Philosophers."Hah, so you
Yorhar's aura was vast and imposing, and he seemed to think of everyone around here as dirt beneath his shoes.Steely clenched his fists before demanding sharply, "Who are these people? How dare they try to attack Master Nox?"Bard shook his head. "I don't know, but they mean business since they have come all the way out here."Steely's face fell upon hearing his answer. Just then, an explosion rattled the air. Keith's fist had slammed into his enemy, causing the Top Legend Realm to spew blood as they crashed against the ground like a cannonball.Due to the turn of events, the other Top Legend Realm was going to lose as well. He kept swinging his saber but failed to land even a single hit. Keith could not be stopped.He lost focus for a moment, and Keith lashed out at him, striking the enemy's chest with his palm. The Top Legend Realm barreled backward, blood spurting from his nose and mouth.His subordinate's defeat made Wilheimer's face fall. "Take them on, men. We'll slaughter
"I'll say this once: tell Greenshade to come out here and die, or I'll kill all of you!" demanded Yorhar arrogantly. He did not think these weaklings were a match for him."The lord doesn't need to waste his time on bastards like you!" Keith roared. He shoved all his strength into Tiger Demon, making the avatar double in size. Then, he pressed his hands down, and the avatar attacked.Yorhar sneered. "You fool." He stepped forth, and a fist—made with black magick—flew toward the tiger avatar. A loud explosion rattled the air, and the fist punched through the tiger avatar. Keith spewed more blood. He lost once more.Although he was a Third Layer Firmament, he was still no match for Yorhar. After all, there was a reason why Yorhar was famed for being his sect's genius."Still not telling me where Greenshade is? Then, you'll die today!" Yorhar was a bloodthirsty man. The black magick around him morphed into a huge sword as it tore through the air, hurtling toward Keith and everyone beh
Augustus' technique was merciless and imposing. The moment he attacked, a wave of sword energy swung down on Yorhar.Yorhar did not expect that sudden attack. However, he knew that Augustus had just recently ascended to Top Legend Realm. Thus, he made hand seals. The black magick swirling around him morphed into a pair of fists, flying toward Augustus."You think you can kill me, maggot?" Yorhar was a Five Mountains, making him a true genius in Moste Magick. The people there respected him both for his talent and position. That was why he would not accept such an insult—an insult where a recently ascended Top Legend Realm dared to challenge him.Augustus slashed away at the oncoming fists, his sword energy falling down like the silvery moon crashing into Earth. It sliced through the fists, making them explode.Homer noticed Augustus' powerful mastery of the sword. He felt his lips downturn at this discovery. "Successor, the boy is a master swordsman. Please be careful."The genius
"Viper Swarm!" Slivers of black, rampaging energy spilled forth from Blacksnake, and they merged and morphed into six snakes, all lashing out at Augustus.The boy was not scared. He swung his sword, and seven slivers of sword energy cut through space, rattling the battlefield.The sword energies clashed with the black snakes, and the gigantic creatures were destroyed, disappearing into thin air. One final sliver of sword energy charged at Yorhar.It moved too quickly for Yorhar to react. The energy was inches away from Yorhar, and his face darkened. He could not believe a teenager had defeated him.Just when the energy was about to kill Yorhar, someone roared, "No one hurts the successor, you brat!"A gigantic black hand appeared from nowhere and clasped the sword energy. Homer made his move. The sliver of sword energy was deflected, but some of its remnants grazed Yorhar's cheek.Yorhar brought his hand to his face, feeling something warm and sticky against his fingers. He becam
A pale-faced Keith looked at the Pavilion of Regality's members. "Moste Magicke, and now Pavilion of Regality? The biggest sects have shown themselves.""To attack the lord?" a worried Bard asked."I'm not sure, but the fact these people are here will certainly shake up Faeast's martial arts world," said Keith.The Six Great Sects, leaders of the martial arts world, rarely sent their members out of their territories. They represented the top of the martial arts world. Yet, four out of six sects had sent their members out. If the news got around, it would shake the country's martial arts world.Bard, however, was worried that these people might be here to attack Nox. If that came to pass, Augustus alone could not get them out of this crisis. He might be powerful, but he would have to face two sects alone.Besides Yorhar, the people from the Pavilion of Regality radiated the air of Top Legend Realms, and their auras were powerful.Everyone's attention turned to Yorhar when he deman
Augustus didn't bother answering Calahad's taunt. Instead, he intoned coldly, "Shut it and fight!" Determination and ruthlessness laced his tone.Calahad chuckled. "Very well. If you seek death, then that is what I shall grant." He pointed at the air, and space itself shivered. A beam of crimson light shot at the boy. Calahad had made his move.Calahad was obviously far stronger than Yorhar. Plus, people from his sect cultivated strange, bizarre, but powerful manuals. Even the air itself was buzzing in the presence of the crimson beam.The beam was already inches away from the boy, but Augustus did not move. He held his sword with both hands and shouted, "I'll cut you down!"White sword energy merged with Dragonflight. The boy swung his sword down on the crimson beam, and an explosion happened. The beam was sliced open."Huh. You should feel proud, stopping that beam with your current power level. Alas, you're still on the lowest rung of the Top Legend Realm ladder." Calahad sneer
"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
