Nox was never afraid of anyone.Undoubtedly, Melania was clueless about his power. She said, "Nox, that's being arrogant. Do you really think you can control and trample on everything?""Yes. If I want to, I can control everything," declared Nox."Why you…" Melania had never seen someone so arrogant. He took over her family and claimed he thought little of it and the whole world. She shivered with rage.Out of the kindness of her heart, she wanted to convince Nox to leave so he could survive, but he wouldn't listen.Melania was still stewing in her rage when Nox asked, "Didn't think a haughty lady like you would be concerned for me. Have you fallen for me?""What'd you say?" Melania went red as an apple."I hit the mark, didn't I?""T-That's a lie! I'd never fall for you! You're my family's enemy! I-I hate you! I'd never fall for you!" Melania turned a shade of magenta."Then, why are you worried about me? Why do you want me to get away?" Nox questioned."Because… Because…" M
Melania was a little nervous about the request. 'What does he want? Is he going to touch me or something? But I've never slept with a man before. How dare he?'A hundred thoughts raced through Melania's head, and she felt herself burning up. Even though she was reluctant to close her eyes, she still did it as if she was under a spell. Her breathing was ragged, but she kept her lips tightly shut.She was scared. She wondered what she should do if Nox really tried to violate her. However, Nox suddenly tapped her forehead. A flash of light shot into her head, and then she trembled as if electricity was coursing through her veins.Powerful energy swam through her body. A moment later, the lotus seal on her forehead turned vague. Eventually, it disappeared.Nox said, "You can open your eyes now."Surprised, Melania opened her eyes. She thought Nox would do something unspeakable to her, but he had only tapped her forehead. 'And I don't feel the burning sensation anymore.'Noticing her
"Commander Colton, they've confessed. They're indeed spies for Eastsun," a member reported to a portly man.The portly man was one of the three Shadow Division commanders—Bear Colton. He was picking his teeth with a toothpick. "Good.""What should we do with them?" the member asked."You're asking me? Kill them, you idiot!" Bear cursed. The member knew this was his style. He nodded and left to kill the spies.Bear didn't even look at the spies. He turned around and left the room. Bear stretched his arms and got back to his office for some tea, but then a member came running out of the building."Commander Colton! Someone just called the office. They want to talk to you!""I don't have time," Bear said curtly."Of course. I'll hang up, then." The member was about to leave."Hold on," Bear said."What's wrong, Commander Colton?" The member stopped in his tracks."What's the call about?""They didn't say. All they told me was they wanted to talk to you. And he calls himself G
"Milord, if you're done with the Curseland Five, when are you coming back to Imperia? We have to reunite," Bear asked with anticipation."I can't go back for now.""Why?" Bear was crestfallen."Queenie.""Oh, right.""Bear, I need you to do something for me," Nox blurted."Your orders, milord?" Bear asked."I need you to visit the Southkings and find the little one.“Bear screamed as if he was bitten by a viper. If anyone saw this, they would be shocked to see Bear himself getting agitated over a mere name. "Why do you want to see the little monster all of a sudden?" he gasped."Because I want to." Nox didn't tell him about the things he heard at the Regals'."But milord, the Southkings' fossils are keeping him locked up in the Prison of Blades," Bear said."Who dares lock him up, and for what reason?" Nox flew into a rage."Because of you, milord," Bear said."Me?""Yes. Did you forget? The whole nation thinks you're dead, including that little monster. When the little o
Augustus was the pride of the Southkings.At the same time, a car stopped at the valley where the Southkings resided. The valley was draped in a blanket of fog. From the outside, it was covered in a blanket of fog, keeping the inside a secret.The car stopped outside the valley, and a portly figure came out—Bear. A pair of Shadow Division members followed him. "Is this the place, Commander Colton?" one of them asked.Bear smiled. "Yes. You may go back now.""Yes, commander." The members drove away.The valley was quiet; not a chirp could be heard. There was only thick fog. Bear stood in front of the fog and roared, "I am Bear Colton, here to see the Southkings!"The fog started to roll and swirl. A pair of warriors in yellow robes flew through the air. Both of them had swords on their backs, and the air around them was powerful. They were both Top Greater Combatants.Both of them clasped their fists. "Hello, Commander Colton. Your reputation precedes you."Bear laughed. "You kn
"I'll take you to the Hall of the Sun, Commander Colton. You'll see the patriarch there," the long-faced man said.Bear waved him down. "It's alright. I want to see the little guy first.""Um, straight to him?" The man was surprised."Yes. Urgent business. Emperor's orders, so I have to make this quick," Bear lied.The long-faced man knew Bear and how powerful his division was. After some thought, he said, "Very well. We'll oblige." Then, he and his companion led Bear to the mountains behind.A while later, Bear was led to a titanic mountain with a huge sword standing on the top. It was made of stone and stood nearly a hundred feet tall, soaring into the clouds.This was the famous Prison of Blades. Rumors had it that this place had sword energy within, something most places didn't have. The sword energy was invisible. Even Legend Realms could be hurt or killed if they were hit by it.This place was where Augustus was locked up. Bear was led closer. This was an important place f
Bear didn't have the token, of course. He had come to the Southkings' place after Nox gave him the order, so how could he have a token from the emperor? He only lied to the guards because he didn't want to hash things out with the old gits.With him at the Prison of Blades, all he had to do was go in and take the little monster out. Then he could make his way to Nox in Southtomb. He didn't care what he had to do to reach his goal. After knocking the guards out, Bear looked at the gates, muttering, "I'm here, you little monster."He went closer to the gate. Slowly, the gates yawned open, and a wave of chilly energy swarmed out. The Prison of Blades was as famous as the Cemetery of Blades. With how powerful the sword energy here was, no regular Legend Realm could come out unharmed if they underestimated it.Bear wasn't stupid enough to underestimate this place. He tensed his muscles and released a barrier of dark red energy around him the moment he walked through the gates. His clothe
His crimson barrier couldn't hold on much longer. The sword energy left a crack in the center, but Bear couldn't stop. Yet the deeper he went, the thicker the energy became.It didn't take long for his barrier to shatter, but fortunately, he got through the chamber. 'Now there's only one left.' His head was covered in sweat, and he was breathing heavily. Even his clothes looked like they were freshly taken out of a washing machine.He looked at the final chamber and plopped onto the staircase. "Damn it, I'm not going any further! If I do, it's going to kill me!" he cursed loudly. "Hey, little monster, it's me, Bear! Get out here!"Though his voice was loud, Bear received no answer, as if there was no one here. "Damn it, you little monster. Did you hear me? Get out here! This is urgent!" Bear shouted again.Still, there was no answer from the sixth chamber. That riled Bear up. "Are you deaf, or are you just ignoring me? I'm telling you, I'm here today to tell you something big! You'
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
"That's right! We must severely punish these traitors once Master Zeller kills this group of Faeastians!" a group of elites cursed in unison. As they spoke, a near-rabid desire surfaced in their scarlet eyes.Up to this very moment, they were still thinking of eliminating the insiders. After all, only after getting rid of the insiders could they easily conduct restructuring and divide their shares of power again.Presently, politicians from the neighboring nations also informed everyone that their country's fleet was on their way and would arrive shortly to provide assistance."Damn these Faeastians! We can't spare them like this! Let's kill them and refine violent energy using their spirits!""Agree! These guys are so powerful, so refining violent energy with their souls definitely will be a great supplement for us!"Once again, one by one, the eyes of these elites turned rapacious as they gazed at the gradually approaching group of people like a group of hungry hyenas staring at
The group crossed the battlefield and arrived at a resort built on the island. Everywhere they looked, luxury cars filled the place, and grand mansions lined the area.At the center of these private residences stood their target. The air was thick with violent energy, and dark clouds loomed ominously above. The moment Cassian arrived, he could sense the presence of vengeful spirits."There were many innocent lives that died here," Cassian said to Nox. "That's strange. Why didn't that cultivator cleanse this place when he had such huge power?"Nox thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps leaving these vengeful spirits here is part of their plan too."Cassian took in a sharp breath as he realized what Nox was implying."If my guess is correct, this person is deliberately feeding the spirits to sustain the elites. While it may grant them eternal youth and extend their lifespans, the cost is that they will become inhumane. What a cruel method. He enslaved the elites, allowing hi
As Nox and Cassian exchanged glances, they both got the same idea."It looks like that mastermind is an evil cultivator.""There are many sinister cultivation techniques that can grant ordinary people eternal youth, immortality, or even cultivation. However, such things are not obtained out of thin air. They are stolen from the others. During the internal turmoil in Faeast, evil cultivators were everywhere. It took me, Sariel, and Magic Mountain a huge effort to get rid of most of them. When they were unable to find a foothold in Faeast, they fled to Southsea."Nox added, "Even so, they continued to target Faeast, wreaking havoc along the coastal regions. The situation grew so dire that His Majesty had to personally deal with them. After I took over, I utilized Vermilion Bird's intelligence network to eliminate almost all of the evil cultivators. It seems that the surviving ones have fled even further to cause trouble."Faeast was a righteous country, so there was no room for evil
Just like that, an entire army was completely wiped out by two people! Moreover, the duo didn't seem to be using any effort either.This was a massacre.Nox toyed with the artifact in his hand. The palm-sized, black object caused the temperature of the island to drop, yet Nox didn't seem to be affected at all.However, the commander was almost frozen to death.Cassian walked over and took the artifact from Nox's hand. After examining it closely, he frowned and said, "This is the legendary Black Ice Stone, a thing that had long been thought to be extinct.""Indeed. This is remarkable. Without the use of any technique, it can disrupt one's senses just by placing it on the ground. Once it comes into contact with positive energy, it'll release Yin energy. What a fascinating item," said Nox."True. It's a pity that it can't be combined with other materials though. Otherwise, it could have been a sacred artifact." Cassian nodded.Nox shook his head in exasperation. "Even if it could b
The enemy commander waved his hand to give an order.In that split second, dozens of men raised their swords and charged toward Nox.Cassian was too intimidating to them, and he would wipe out the entire army by himself. Thus, they decided to capture Nox in order to threaten Cassian."Raise your hands and surrender immediately!" the enemy commander said in broken Faeastian.However, what unsettled the enemy commander was that neither Cassian nor the group of spectators in the distance seemed to care about Nox's current situation.Seeing that Nox didn't respond, one of the enemy leaders shouted, "Why are you not moving? Are you scared? I told you to raise your hands and surrender now!"Nox tilted his head and glanced at him with disdain. Then, he slowly raised one of his hands."Are you deaf? I said two hands!" the enemy leader roared.`Buzz!At that moment, an invisible force swept through everyone, causing hundreds of people to be lifted into the air over three thousand fee
Nineve was shocked, but Aphrodite was used to it. "He rose to fame during the latest crisis of Faeast. You have to be crueler than everyone else if you want to live during that era," she said.It was a dog-eat-dog world back then, and every cultivator was a beast. The team eventually arrived at the spot, and the Marines were already interrogating the captives."Milord, these are units from the coastal nations nearby. They're not to be underestimated," a soldier reported to Nox. Even if these people were not remnants of the Three-Eyed Clan, this was still a national issue.The soldiers tried to ask the captives about the Three-Eyed Clan, but they knew nothing about it. Nox said, "Don't waste your time. They're not big enough to know that kind of intel.""What should we do with these people?" The Marines wondered if they should take the captives back to the ship. Cassian used his soul technique to check the captives' memories and killed them all."Yeah, they might be official units,
