The atmosphere changed instantly as Moste Magicke's four patriarchs appeared. They were also known as the Four Great Elders of Moste Magicke.The leader of the Four Great Elders was the mighty Master Magicke!With the terrifying power of the Eight Gates' Prisms, his mere appearance caused the entire space to tremble.Magicke's Eight Gates' Prisms were stronger than Awesome's since Awesome had reached the threshold of Eight Gates' Prisms by using essence while Magicke wielded the power of a true master! Moreover, there was also another Eight Gates among the Four Great Elders. On the other hand, the remaining two elders were at the peak of the Seven Deaths.However, Awesome didn't even flinch when he saw the Four Great Elders."I see that you've brought reinforcements, huh?" Awesome narrowed his eyes and glanced at the sky.Homer growled upon hearing his words, "How dare you act so arrogantly in front of Master Magicke? You are having a death wish!""Do you think I'm afraid of you
When the elders and Magicke heard Jasper's words, their expressions turned grim.No one had expected that the person who killed their successor would be a disciple of Magic Mountain!"We have never clashed swords with your ilk. So, why did you kill our sect's successor?"Jasper smiled and said, "He brought it upon himself!""You..." The elder's face was red with anger when he heard Jasper's imperious answer. Still, he had no choice but to restrain his temper since Jasper was far more powerful than him.Just then, Magicke finally spoke up. "I am one of the five great patriarchs of Moste Magicke. In fact, I have some connections with your sect. Now, I'll ask you again. Why did you kill my successor?" his voice boomed as he spoke.Jasper replied, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Are you deaf?"At that moment, Magicke's expression changed drastically. Initially, he thought Jasper would be intimidated by him when he said his name. Yet, Jasper wasn't the least bit intimidated."I a
Never in the Seven Deaths' elder's wildest dreams would he expect that Awesome would be so powerful! Thus, he quickly gathered all his power and clashed head-on with Awesome's fist.Boom!As a massive wave of energy rippled outward, the surrounding stone shattered into pieces. At the same time, the elder stumbled backward, face pale."Come on, you old geezer. Let's keep going!" Awesome taunted the elder with a smile.Magicke interjected when he saw that the elder was giving ground, "Be careful, Rayden. He has already reached the Eight Gates' Prisms!"When Rayden, the elder who had just fought Awesome, heard Magicke's words, his expression twisted in frustration. He couldn't help but think that the Fates were out to get him today. After all, not only did he just barely escape death from Jasper earlier, but he was also being thrashed by Awesome.As Rayden remembered that he was the elder of Moste Magicke, he could hardly contain the urge to bash his head against a wall in humiliati
A sudden roar echoed through the battlefield when another elder noticed that none of the sword strikes were breaking through Awesome's defenses."Let me help you, Damien!" the elder shouted before making his move.This elder had a robust frame in comparison. However, he was nimble as he raised his hand swiftly, causing a yellow talisman to shoot into the sky. Then, he began to form a seal with his hands."Six Fires Thunder!"Crack!Thick, flame-imbued lightning bolts shot out from the talisman and converged in the elder's palm. In mere moments, the lightning bolts soon formed a massive thunderball."Go!"The thunderball that was wrapped in roaring flames hurtled straight toward Awesome with a push of his palms.Boom! A deafening explosion echoed across the area!Immediately after, Awesome's barrier shattered upon the thunderball's impact.Awesome spat out blood within his barrier.On the other hand, the crowd erupted in cheers when they saw Awesome's shield crack under the p
As Jasper stepped forward, the two elders' expressions turned grim. It was clear that they were afraid of Jasper.Not only were they afraid of Jasper, but they were also afraid of the Magic Mountain that was backing him up. After all, all sword masters from Magic Mountain were the most intimidating, even among the sects."You brat! Let me make this clear again. Moste Magicke holds no grudge against Magic Mountain! If you insist on going against us, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Damien warned Jasper with a stern voice.Jasper sighed and shook his head in annoyance. "Magic Mountain… Why do you guys keep bringing up my sect? Are you afraid of us retaliating? Don't worry. My elder told me that he wouldn't care nor avenge me if I ever lost in a fight or got killed since it would be too humiliating for him. So, you two can rest easy. As long as you are capable of killing me, Magic Mountain won't cause trouble for you."The two elders exchanged glances and wondered if what Jasper sa
Sword Art Three was otherwise known as Hell Execution.As this terrifying sword technique unfolded, the space was immediately isolated by the sword energy. At the same time, the two elders were trapped within a prison realm.This prison realm was filled with nothing but gray.However, the elders didn't have time to consider that fact as countless swords charged straight at them as soon as they were trapped.Damien panicked when he saw the countless swords baying for their blood."Damn it! We're trapped!" he shrieked as he swung his sword frantically, trying to block the incoming swords.The other elder immediately formed a Six Fires Thunder, and the lighting soon became a shield and surrounded him. However, even this couldn't fend off Jasper's Hell Execution.Alas, one of the sword shadows pierced through the elder's shoulder in just a few seconds. At that moment, the elder groaned in pain but had no time to tend to the wound as he continued to defend himself desperately.Meanw
It was Nox!When Nox appeared, he simply waved his hand, and the black ghostly claw Magicke had summoned shattered in midair.Looking at the scene, Magicke stiffened, as well as the other elders who stood beside him.No one had expected that Nox would block such a mighty strike from Magicke.After effortlessly dispelling Magicke's attack, Nox turned to Jasper and said, "Step back, Jasper. I'll handle them from here."Jasper was taken aback. "Nox? Are you stepping in? This old trash doesn't deserve to fight you!"Nox smiled and replied, "They are here because of me, so just leave it to me."Seeing that Nox insisted, Jasper was still somewhat unwilling but eventually nodded. Then, he looked at Magicke and taunted, "You're out of luck now. Nox is going to deal with you. Let's see if you can survive in the end!" With that, he stepped back.On the other hand, Magicke was furious!After all, He was one of Moste Magicke's great patriarchs. He had lived for nearly three hundred years,
After Nox revealed his identity, all eyes were immediately fixed on him!The Six Great Sects had come out of seclusion with the sole purpose of dealing with Nox. However, never in their wildest dreams did they expect Nox to actually show up!As the disciples of the three sects stared at Nox, none of them noticed that a group of beautiful women was also secretly watching the scene unfold at a hidden corner of Ninedragon Peak.It was the women of Grand Weaver's Workshop!"Wow! Is that the legendary Lord Nox? He's so handsome!" one of the women gazed at Nox with dreamy eyes."Yes! Not only is he handsome, but he's got style too!""I can't believe Lord Nox is such a handsome man!""Felicity, you said you've seen Lord Nox before. Is this handsome guy the one you were talking about?" one of the women asked Felicity.Felicity nodded. "Didn't I tell you before? Lord Nox is super handsome, but none of you believed me. Now, you finally see it for yourselves.""He's so handsome!""He's
The energy erupted with a force that broke through the clouds. Zeller swiftly realized something was wrong. The staff inside the formation was trembling. Cassian was about to break through his trap. Nox's eyes lit up. "Oh? Grandpa broke through to the fifth-ring Minor Saint realm."As soon as he said that, the energy set the air ablaze, causing the demonic phantoms to melt away. When Cassian appeared in view, he was covered in blood while tightly holding on to the staff. With all his might, he pulled the staff out of the ground. The instant the staff left the dirt, the formation dispersed. Cassian collapsed onto the ground, having depleted his life essence. "Shoot!" Zeller instantly tried to get the staff back. However, Nox acted at the same time at a speed far greater than Zeller's. He first rushed over to Cassian and took the staff from him. Then, he struck out with a palm that sent Zeller's life essence dispersing from the immediate area. Zeller was sent flying away
"Watch as I break through your technique!"With a low roar, Cassian used his essence to draw out a talisman. The moment the talisman was complete, the stench of blood flooded the air.Blood energy was unable to dispel the demonic phantoms, but it was able to reveal Zeller from where he was hiding within the phantoms."Found you!"Cassian sent another punch swinging. The tables were turned.A series of loud bangs echoed from within the cloud of demonic phantoms. The Golden Fire Saint power surged. With one last dull thud, Zeller was sent flying out of the formation."Mousse, you're mistaken. I told you so. Cassian would win!" Nineve said with a scoff. It was so great to witness Aphrodite humiliated.Aphrodite shook her head with a soft laugh. "Princess, do you really think what you see is the truth?"Nineve was stunned. "What do you mean? Speak clearly!""You saw Zeller sent flying out of the formation, but that doesn't put his life in danger at all. If you were Cassian, you wo
"Ashura's Seal, Demonic Phantom Fury!"Zeller waved his staff. When he struck it against the ground, countless demonic phantoms appeared, surrounding him and Cassian and blocking them from view. Amid the demonic cloud of phantoms, golden fire could be seen flickering within. Cassian was trapped by the phantoms, and the Greenshade family's ancient martial style did no damage. He could not disperse the demonic phantoms. Under Zeller's control, demonic energy seeped into Cassian's body, slowly scrambling his mind. "This is bad. It looks like the trap has turned into a personal demon for Grandpa." Nox frowned. "Act if you must. Faeast needs a strong fighter of the previous generation like Cassian right now," Aphrodite said. Nox nodded. Still, now was not the best opportunity for interference. If Cassian could not get rid of his personal demon, his cultivation would suffer in the future. There were many cultivators at Saint Realm who practiced the soul techniques of the pat
Nox patiently watched the fight. His analysis was about the same as Aphrodite's. It would be difficult for Cassian to defeat Zeller.Still, Nox thought that Cassian would likely end the fight with a minor defeat as the power gap would never be too great.As Nox thought that, Cassian struck once more in a move aimed to kill. If Zeller were struck, he would be dead."You're quite strong, Cassian. Still, it's useless. I am certainly no match for you, but even if I can't defeat you, it doesn't mean it can't!"At the very last moment, Zeller pulled out an item that emanated enough energy within a few minutes to rival a cultivator at Saint Realm."That is a sacred artifact. Amazing. He does have great treasures," Nox remarked with narrowed eyes.Zeller was just an average cultivator. That was why he was still stuck at the cusp of Saint Realm. It was still a question if he could be a saint in the future. However, things were different with the aid of a sacred artifact.With the help of
"Haha! Do you think I'm powerless because you took away control of the ghosts?"Cassian Greenshade, your family has protected Faeast for millennia. You have stood in our way for the same amount of time! If not for your family, the Celestial Ordinance's Abode would already be ruling its own country!"Protecting Faeast? What hypocrites!"Nox is now the Human Sovereign, the future ruler of Faeast! He might even be crowned a Monarch! Your family is the new royal family!"How is that any different from what we want? You just want a country that belongs to your family."We are essentially the same. Stop criticizing us. It's like the pot calling the kettle black!" Zeller mockingly spat out. In their eyes, Nox could not be crowned the emperor of Faeast. Nox did not refute that claim as there was no way to talk sense into these people. With different motives and perspectives, nothing he said would get through to them. Cassian flew into a fit of rage. "You scoundrel! You refuse to fee
"Hahaha! I was wondering who this great cultivator was. You were someone I once defeated!"You can't win against me, so you ran all the way here to be a lord?" Cassian smirked. It was clear the two knew each other. He then turned to Nox. "This old priest is the founder of Celestial Ordinance's Abode in Faeast, Nox. I chased him off not long ago, and when I found out he was a powerful figure in Manesia, I journeyed there to defeat him once more. Unfortunately, he's a very slippery man. I've gone after him several times, yet I could never get rid of him. Later on, there was no more news, so I thought he died of old age. I didn't expect him to be hiding here." Meanwhile, Cassian used his Divine Sense to get a feel for the other's cultivation level. "Old git, you've grown stronger by quite a lot. Still, you're just on the cusp of Saint Realm. You aren't even at half Saint, yet you dare to confront us?"With Cassian's four-ring Minor Saint strength, it would only take seconds for Cas
They waited and waited, but there was no movement. "Nox, it looks like Master Zeller doesn't plan to come out. Since he's so rude, I'll force him out!"Cassian began to set Saint power ablaze. With the energy precisely aimed at the hidden talisman hiding in the fortress, he burned the talisman. The ghosts imprisoned within the fortress came pouring out. Millions of ghosts appeared. It was an exceedingly rare sight. The number of ghosts was enough to instantly overwhelm a cultivator at Pinnacle Realm. If it were just Aphrodite, Queenie, and Nineve, they would not have been able to control that many souls. Cassian wanted to help out, but he was too powerful. He would kill the ghosts, and that was not the effect he wanted. "Leave it to me, Grandpa."Nox stepped forward. In an instant, the aura of a Human Sovereign surged from him, welcoming a righteous and natural energy. The agitated ghosts swiftly calmed down. "Everyone, I am Lord Nox of Faeast. Today, I will ensure ju
In some ways, Cassian's fame far surpassed Nox's. Nox was tasked with stabilizing the nation. While even distant countries beyond Faeast’s borders had heard of him, their knowledge was limited to a few of his victories. Cassian, on the other hand, gained his fame through bloodshed. He roamed the world, leaving chaos in his wake across numerous nations. Even now, the mere mention of his name struck fear into many. For example, Cassian was the one to depose Spiajan's king, along with the entire royal family. Once the king was killed, Spiajan no longer had a monarchy. When the middle-aged man learned that the old git who had split his body into half was none other than Cassian, the man who had slaughtered through his country, he fell silent, gripped by fear. "Speak! Keep boasting. Why are you all silent now? What happened to the threats?" Cassian loftily stared at the group of elites. In his eyes, they were just trash. "Whether you're Cassian Greenshade or Lord Nox, you can't ju
The elites were all panic-stricken, and they immediately ordered their bodyguards to come forward to protect them.Accepting their fates, hundreds of bodyguards rushed forward, took out their submachine guns, aimed them at Nox and his group, and pulled the triggers.Gunshots were being fired wildly. However, Cassian blocked all the bullets off with his bronze-red fiery momentum.Presently, Cassian's hair had turned bronze-red, and the muscles all over his body were pumped.Upon witnessing this sight before their very eyes, the elites all thought that Cassian resembled a real Super Saiyan who emerged straight out of an animated series."Die!"As Cassian pressed his palm down, an unparalleled force descended from the sky. Instantly, hundreds of bodyguards were all crushed into a pulp. As a matter of fact, the momentum flattened their bodies even more than it did if a car ran over them.The elites gasped in shock. In their mind, they couldn't help but wonder if Cassian was actually
