The dragons' power was tied to Nox's. Since Nox wasn't a Saint, the dragons weren't Saints either. "Faux Saints and half-Saints are technically Saints too. They're trouble." Nox narrowed his eyes, and golden light shone in them."Eight Techniques, Blazing Inferno Eyes." Nox's eye power was activated, and he cast an illusion. The nearest Saints were caught by surprise, and they fell for the spell. They were put in a gigantic maze. Though the illusion was powerful, it had one fatal flaw. Though the victims were in the illusion, they could still sense the auras in the real world.Nox wasn't stupid. He tucked his aura away and quickly fell to the ground. The Emperors who were pinned by the dragons' pressure lunged at him. Controlled, they only fought with nothing but their instincts guiding them. They couldn't discern traps, but their instincts told them this was the perfect chance to strike."Good. I was waiting for this. Ultimate Moon Elephant Manual, go!" Nox slammed his hands again
With most of the enemies gone, Nox just had to focus on the Saints. "Only you guys now. Come, fight me!" Nox controlled the spheres and fought the Saints alone.All the Saints infused their life essence into their power, and their auras rose. Everyone now at least doubled their strength. They pushed through the spheres and slammed Nox into the ground.Nox fell, failing to make any resistance. He crashed into the border of Celestial Domain, and the whole continent shook. The Saints worked together to push through the spheres and cast Saintly techniques.The techniques rose like blazing suns, and Kirin shook from the intensity of the energy within. "He's risking his life here. Even with Saintly techniques, it'll be hard to win this. He can't hold them off with just Pinnacle Legend Realm power." Kirin was grim. Even if Nox could withstand the combined attacks, he'd be badly injured.If he was hurt before he even met the final boss of the place, there was no chance to win this war."T
With unyielding will, Nox marched toward the final bottleneck. At the same time, his aura became unstable, yet it started to rise. Once it reached a certain point, even Pinnacle Legend Realms could challenge Saints. His aura was far stronger than any Pinnacle Legend Realm. With his near-infinite energy, he shoved the Saintly techniques away.The Saintly techniques shattered, and a rampaging shockwave came crashing back to the Saints. They used their last resort and cast ancient spells, sacrificing themselves to conjure a gigantic wave of sacred energy.Like a falling star, the sacred energy suppressed Nox's aura, and it kept falling like a meteor. If Nox couldn't stop this, he would die. Kirin could smell the scent of death coming from Nox. His lord was in danger."No. I can't leave this to fate. I have sworn my loyalty to him, and I will not watch him die." Kirin would not leave this to chance, not even if their chances of winning were close to a hundred percent.Luck would eventu
The power of a technique created by the sacrifice of a dozen Saints had terrifying strength. The rampaging sacred energy swept through Celestial Domain. Not even a single blade of grass could escape it. Nineve thought it felt like a whole warehouse of forbidden items were launched.Everything around them shook, and waves three hundred feet tall raged on the seas outside. The ships sent by the surrounding nations sank into the waters beneath. The waves swept White Tiger, and seawater filled up his mouth.Fortunately, Southern Sea's fleet came in time and fished him out of the waters. Fergus watched as shards of foreign nations' ships surfaced, and he was shocked. The distant waters were enveloped in storm clouds. "What happened here? Someone's testing a new weapon they developed?"That was Fergus' guess. He couldn't understand what was going on."That isn't a weapon! Someone's fighting in there! Cultivators!" White Tiger struggled to get up, foam circling his lips."Cultivators are
Kirin grabbed the ladies and regrouped with Nox. Not too long after that, Voltaic and Mufasa arrived. Voltaic wasn't in his best condition. Fending off the aftershock of that Saintly technique took too much of his life essence. Mufasa was in so deep a shock, his pupils dilated."I thought you'd leave Mystia's bastards to me, lad! But you took them all out!" Voltaic complained.Mufasa bristled. "Will you shut up? If he hadn't used that Saintly technique, I would've died!" Mystia's cultivators were handing his ass to him. He almost died.Nox said, "That wasn't me, but it doesn't matter now. The true test begins now. You can't do anything beyond this point. You can leave now," said Nox."What? But I haven't had fun!" Voltaic swung his swords. He was far from his limits. Since he was here, might as well see the empress. Better yet, he wanted to fight her."Leave. No one knows what's going to happen. Besides, the founder only told us to come. He didn't ask anyone else to. You can't han
The nation of Faeast was in mourning, lamenting the death of Lord Nox.Queenie Sanders sat on the beach of Riverton. She was in a bikini, revealing all her perfect curves, but her brows were furrowed as she stared at her phone."Mourning? In the morning? And the whole Internet does it? Who's the deceased? Why's everyone going so far for him?"Queenie stared at the screen for five minutes before she clicked on the headlines. She was met with a big title in red, but all of them talked of the same thing across different news outlets."Today, we mourn the death of a god of war. The day before, our Lord fell into the ambush of ten nations' warriors, and he was felled in the Ocean of Death."So great was the battle it drenched the ocean crimson. So terrible was the battle that corpses decorated the ocean's surface."Even though Lord Nox has fallen, he took down a million soldiers from the enemies' nations all by himself."Queenie's jaw dropped, her eyes still glued to the headlines.
The man was unconscious, buffeted by the waves. The kind Queenie went straight to saving the stranger. Fortunately, she was a decent swimmer. With one hand, she dragged the man, and with the other, she swam toward the shore.Her strength was all but expended, but Queenie finally got the man to the shore. A long sigh escaped her lips, and Queenie checked for breathing. He was breathing, but barely. He's alive?Queenie looked at the stranger once more. He was lying on his belly, his clothes drenched and soggy. Queenie flipped the man over, and she was stunned by his looks.The man's face was the color of clouds, possibly because of his soaking in the sea for a long time. His lines were sharp, his features handsome. "He's hot." Queenie felt her heart race, but she wasn't one to fawn over every handsome man she came across. She took a deep breath and quickly did CPR for the man.A few dozen repetitions later, the man's breathing felt stronger. Queenie had saved him. "Finally."She heaved
"Dad? Uncle George? Why are you here?" Queenie was stumped. She couldn't believe it was her dad and uncle here."What are you doing, Queenie? And who is this man?" George roared. He almost had a stroke seeing his daughter together with a naked man in bed.Queenie finally realized why her father was reacting hugely. She quickly stood up and said, "Don't take this the wrong way, Dad. I don't know this man.""What? You don't know this man? And you slept with him? Are you mad?" George roared."Listen to me, Dad. I don't know him. He's—"Queenie was about to explain herself, but Hogs sneered. "Well, well, well, George. Your daughter slept with a total stranger, and on the cusp of her wedding with Centersea's heir. Now tell me, how should we deal with her?"George was shivering in rage, his eyes crimson. "What did I do to deserve this? You insolent child. What have you done? How dare you?"George raised his hand against his child, but just before the slap could land, someone grabbed George's
Kirin grabbed the ladies and regrouped with Nox. Not too long after that, Voltaic and Mufasa arrived. Voltaic wasn't in his best condition.

Kirin was speechless, and he ignored the question. Aphrodite explained, "He's saying that Lord Nox is holding back, and he might be underestimating the enemy."Nineve had no idea about spell levels or cultivation levels. Nox was powerful enough for her. "I know he can win. The… ancient cultivators or whatever. He's undefeatable. No one can take him down," said Nineve. She cheered on for Nox, shouting in the city's direction.Nox couldn't hear it, of course. There was a big distance between them, and the energy was rampaging. The city was no more. What was left in its place was a black cube. Nox had no idea what that thing was made of, but it was indestructible and could block out his divine sense."What is that thing? Is the empress in there? It's about 35 hundred cubic feet, so that's more than enough for her," Nox muttered.While he was distracted, the ancient cultivators attacked. They could combine their forces too. The spellcasters blasted Nox with their spells, while the mele
The commotion did not go unnoticed by the nations around the area, especially the island states. They issued a notice of natural disaster, and as the roaring waves spread, the nations and their people started panicking.Once White Tiger got to a safe zone, he got a message from Imperia. Azure Dragon was the one calling. "What happened over there? The meteorological department says a super storm is gathering in that area. If the storm clouds start to move, it might affect Faeast's waters!"Faeast's government had issued a notice of natural disaster to the coastal cities. The Southern Sea's fleet was evacuating the people as fast as they could."I don't know. I think the lord's fighting the boss of the place," said White Tiger. He didn't know much. He told Azure Dragon that Voltaic and another half-Saint were helping out as well."Shit, someone's after me. Talk later!" White Tiger hung up. The enemy was too powerful for him. He couldn't take the guy head on, but just when he was abou
Nox's talismans were dispeled, and tens of thousands of talismans came flying back. The ancient cultivators didn't give Nox a chance to counter their talismans. The moment the talismans came close, they exploded. The combined force of the explosion razed the ancient city into the ground.When the dust settled, the city was no more. Even Kirin had to use his avatar to stop the explosion's force from hitting the ladies. Even Aphrodite was shocked at how the explosion took out the city. This was unbelievable. "I underestimated them. They're more powerful than I thought," said Aphrodite."Naturally. Spiritual energy was abundant everywhere in their era. Everyone had the same resources, and they had a lot of secret arts back then. On average, ancient cultivators fight better than modern ones," said Kirin.The Mystians weren't much weaker than ancient cultivators, but the modern ones were. A dozen or so of them would be a problem, and Nox had to face more than a hundred of these ancient c
"You guys are useless and toxic for the world. I should kill you where you stand. You'd be good fertilizer." Voltaic unsheathed his swords and pointed them at Hyde. "You shall die for your crimes, Hyde! Now tell me, how do you wish to go out?"Hyde burst into laughter, and he waved his hands. Hundreds of gods appeared all around. These were the Mystians cultivating in Celestial Domain. The Yin energy they summoned covered the island, and a wave of violent energy engulfed Mufasa and Voltaic."Now tell me, how do you wish to go out?" Hyde looked at them coldly.Mufasa gasped. "We're in trouble, Voltaic."Voltaic wasn't expecting a big company hiding here. Mufasa felt his hair rise just from facing so many enemies. They might not get out alive."Quite a lot of maggots here. Good. I just became the world's top swordsman, and your blood is perfect to prove that." Voltaic's eyes filled up with will-of-the-sword. The boundless waves of a river crashed into the Mystians.Kirin rubbed his
