That was especially so for the ancient warriors who'd been living in seclusion for decades. They were so strong that not even Jacques would pick a fight with them. "With Moste Magicke's and Pavilion of Regality's patriarchs making their move, we can finally be at ease."…At the same time, a pair of silhouettes appeared before the manor. They were none other than Awesome and Bear. "You sure the Grand Weaver's Workshop's ladies are here, Bear?" Awesome looked at the manor before them sceptically."Yep. I talked to a lot of the spies and went through their reports. Besides, didn't you hear the guys on the way here? They saw ladies flying into this manor. I bet it's the Grand Weaver's Workshop's chicks."Awesome regarded their destination shrewdly. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's hunt some chicks."Awesome was about to rush inside when Bear pulled him aside. "The hell you are! There are guards here!""What? How are we supposed to find the ladies if we don't go inside?" Awesome
Although these people were Grandmasters, they were nothing to Awesome. So, it didn't take him too long to kill them all. Once Awesome was done, he turned around, smiling. "Let's find ourselves some chicks, Bear."Bear was rendered completely speechless. He stared at the corpses and gulped, his eyes flickering. "Maybe Awesome can really take these guys out." He followed Awesome into the manor.It wasn't long before more Mousse guards came to stop them. A man in black robes stepped forth, demanding sharply, "Who are you? You're trespassing upon private property!""I'm just here to get myself some chicks. Get out of my way, or die!" Awesome kept walking ahead, ignoring these guards."How dare you! We do not tolerate such disrespect here! Kill him, men!" the black-robed man ordered.The other guards attacked, and Awesome flew into a rage. "Fine, if this is what you want, then I'll grant you your wish!"Golden light spilled from Awesome's body as he swung his fist ahead. His style was
"What are you blaming me for? These idiots got in my way."Jacques' face darkened."Hey, old man. You a sect guy, too?" Awesome snapped.Jacques held back his rage. "I am not.""Then, fuck off. I'm here for the sect guys, so get out of the way." Awesome couldn't care less who this old man was. He was here for chicks and the heads of those sect bastards on his shit list. These idiots were trying to go after Nox, and he would not let it slide."And why do you want to see the sect guys, monk?" a dark voice said. It was none other than Calahad."Because the bastards are after my boss. So, I'm merely responding. Tit for tat, if you will," answered Awesome honestly.The sect people were speechless. The sects stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, and they were the dream and legend of many. They couldn't help but wonder whether the monk even knew the gravity of the situation.Calahad burst into laughter. "You're an arrogant one, monk. You came all the way here to send the se
"Are you with the sects too, ladies?" Awesome asked the ladies."Yes," said Felicity. Then, she asked with a tone tinged with intrigue, "And why do you want to hunt us down?" She found Awesome interesting.Awesome rubbed his head. "Yeah, well, you guys want to hunt my boss down, so…""Your boss? Who's your boss?" one of the Workshop's ladies asked."Lord Nox, obviously," said Awesome."Wait, you're Lord Nox's friend?" Everyone finally understood why Awesome was here, including Jacques.Awesome smiled. "Don't you worry, ladies. I can see you guys aren't bad. The other idiots are obviously rotten, though."The ladies burst into laughter, and their chest heaved. Nonetheless, they didn't hesitate to sing his praises, "My, he has a special brand of humor.""And he has a rather honeyed tongue, too."The other sects' people looked miffed and offended.Yorhar was the first to snap, "What'd you call us, you monk? You're dead, you know that?""What, you got a problem with me? I can sa
Awesome grinned and challenged, "Well, come on, don't stop now!"None among Moste Magicke had the courage to take up the challenge. Awesome had struck fear into their hearts after his earlier exhibit.An old man from Pavilion of Regality looked at Awesome darkly. "Curses. Who is this monk? How is he so powerful?""No idea, but he's at least an Upper Three," another old man said solemnly."An Upper Three? That is impossible. No one that powerful can exist unless they're part of the sects."After Mystia banned the Top Legend Realms from walking this land, only the sects' prodigies could become Top Legend Realms. Clans and families could never produce someone like that.However, Awesome's sudden appearance and the easy manner he dispatched two Five Mountains shocked everyone."Gods, the monk is powerful. He killed two of Moste Magicke's Top Legend Realms." Even the ladies from the Workshop were stunned."He is, I agree," said Felicity.Since no one was taking the challenge, Aweso

"Don't you take that attitude with me, boy!" Lawright flew into a rage. He put his hands together, and golden runes swam out of his body before flowing into the staff before him.As the runes infused themselves into the staff, a wave of incredible energy burst forth. "I'll break that barrier of yours!" Lawright roared and flew into the sky. Then, he swung his gigantic staff down.A loud explosion rattled the air. Soon after, Lawright was sent flying away from the impact. Awesome was unscathed, his barrier still unmoved.Lawright breathed heavily, and his voice trembled with fear as he said, "Impossible. How can his Vajra Barrier possess such strength?"Members from other sects couldn't believe Lawright's attack failed to break Awesome's barrier. Everyone was shocked. Before they could say anything, Awesome laughed. "Ready to quit, big guy?""Hah, hiding behind that barrier's all you can do. I can kill you easily in a fair fight!" Lawright roared, his face red with fury."Seriousl
The remaining people looked crossed and glum. They weren't expecting Awesome to be this powerful. The pair of old men behind Jacques stepped forth, intending to fight. However, they were quick to back off when Jacques shook his head.Just when everyone was choking on their fear, Shatterheart stepped forth. "Who are you, young man?"Awesome looked at Shatterheart. "I thought I told you my name. It's Awesome."Shatterheart's face fell. "I'm Shatterheart. The fact you killed my junior means you're a strong one but fighting all of us alone is futile. Nothing good will come out of it.""I think you got it the wrong way. It's the other way around."Shatterheart looked annoyed. 'Is he actually stupid or just playing dumb?' he thought. 'He's going to take us all by himself?'Shatterheart said slowly, "We're both monks. If you submit to us, we might just let you live."Awesome smiled. "Do you think I'm scared of you guys, fatso?"Shatterheart was speechless. Awesome did barge into the m
"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
