"Commander Colton, it is said that the Shadow Division has been sentenced with treason. Even our headquarters at Imperia has been besieged by the military. What should we do now?" A female member asked Bear tearfully.At the same time, the remaining surviving members also looked at Bear sadly.Bear felt his heart ache.As the Shadow Division's commander, he had to protect his men. However, the Shadow Division had been sentenced to treason! This meant that all 400 thousand members of the Shadow Division from across the country were now wanted criminals!Thinking of this, Bear raised his head and said, "Don't worry, guys. I will give you all an explanation! However, I must now go to Imperia to find Keith and Bard!" He was talking about Keith, the Supreme Tiger, and Bard, also known as Wolfhound!When the others heard his words, they immediately stood up and said, "Let us go with you, Commander Colton! The Shadow Division lives and dies together! This time, even if we risk our lives,
The man had an extraordinary aura. Behind him were hundreds of experts dressed in black and wearing a mask. At first glance, these people were at least Greater Combatants. Among them, there were more than twenty Grandmasters! More terrifyingly, there were two strange men behind them. One of them was dressed in black, while the other was dressed in white.These two strange men had a blank expression on their faces. They looked lifeless, appearing as if they had come from hell. Despite this, anyone who looked at them would find it hard to breathe! They were the Grim Reapers!As the man, accompanied by the Grim Reapers and the masked experts, appeared, General Davidson turned around and said, "It's you, Mr. Mousse. What brings you here?"Hearing his words, Mr. Mousse smiled strangely. "I am here on the orders of my sister to help the military."General Davidson scoffed and said, "There's no need for the trouble. We can take care of the Shadow Division ourselves.""Is that so? If I
The leader was none other than the Grim Reapers of the Underworld!Keith looked at these strangely dressed individuals with thick auras coldly. He asked warily, "Who are you guys? How dare you come here seeking death?""There's no need for you to know our names, Commander Moon. All you need to know is that the Shadow Division has committed treason. If you know what's good for you, surrender now to spare us the trouble!" The White Impermanence sneered."How dare you talk in such a manner?" Keith roared, his entire body surging with energy. He was ready to strike any time.At this moment, Bard, who was standing beside Keith, said, "Keith! Wait! These guys seem to be from the Shadow Sect!"As the smartest member of the Shadow Division, Bard sensed something was wrong the moment he saw the intruders.His eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at the hundreds of masked men. "Shadow Sect?" Keith's expression turned cold as he looked at the intruders."Yes. These masked men are al
Seeing that Black Impermanence had killed an elite Shadow Division member in the blink of an eye, the remaining members were both shocked and furious.Just as they were about to act, Keith leaped into the air. "I'll kill him!"Seeing that Keith was about to strike, Black Impermanence said coldly, "I've long heard of the famous Supreme Tiger of the Shadow Division. Now, I shall have the honor of fighting him myself!" As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and a sinister ghostly hand appeared mid-air.As soon as the ghostly hand appeared, the cold wind blew with a ghostly energy filled the air.Facing Black Impermanence's ghostly hand, Keith unleashed his Tiger Demon power.As the powerful fist appeared, a massive tiger head's silhouette emerged from the fist's shadow.The Tiger Demon struck the ghostly hand, causing an explosive blast. The terrifying shockwave shattered all the windows, and the force sent Black Impermanence staggering three steps back. Each step left a deep impr
As White Impermanence's scythe shattered, his figure flickered. In that instant, he split into four identical bodies!Seeing these four clones, Bard was dumbfounded."This is... the forbidden cloning technique? How is this possible?"Forbidden techniques in Faeast had long been sealed away in the national treasury, while the remaining forbidden techniques were sealed in Mystia. According to ancient law, these forbidden techniques must not be revealed to the world. Those who broke the rules would be killed! However, White Impermanence was using a long-sealed forbidden technique.'Did they steal it from the national treasury? Or was it deliberately given to them?' As Bard thought about it, his expression turned grimmer."Forbidden Technique, Four Symbols Phantom!" White Impermanence shouted coldly. Then, his clones charged toward Keith.Faced with this long-lost forbidden technique, Keith stood still, but the tiger shadow behind him roared. It shook the earth and caused dozens of S
Back when he was in the military, Nox had a quartet of powerful loyalists with him. They were Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They were Nox's confidants and right-hand men. Rumors were that they were all Top Legend Realms. The other nations claimed they alone could fend off a whole army.Azure Dragon, especially, was only second to Nox in power. However, after Nox's fall, the quartet left the military. Azure Dragon had barged into Snowground alone to avenge Nox, but no one knew what had happened to that endeavor.Keith couldn't believe that he was seeing Azure Dragon himself. "Dear God, it's Azure Dragon…"Bard's eyes were wide as well, staring at the bound Azure Dragon. He was a high-ranking veteran, and even the Shadow Division commander had to show him respect. The four were Nox's closest friends, and Azure Dragon was even more so.They couldn't believe they were seeing the long-lost Azure Dagon. "It really is you!" Keith stared at Azure Dragon w
"Snap out of it, Azure Dragon! It's me, Keith!" Keith tried to wake Azure Dragon, but the murderous Azure Dragon had lost all sense. He was like a puppet.Bard said, "Keith, bad news. I think the bastards cast a soul-controlling spell on him!""What? He's being controlled?""Yeah. Why else doesn't he recognize us?"Keith thought that was a good point. When they were all still working for Nox, they were all sworn brothers. There was no way Azure Dragon wouldn't recognize them. Realizing that Azure Dragon was under a spell, Keith's energy rose again. He looked at the hurt Grim Reapers with bloodshot eyes. "I'll kill you, bastards!" he roared.Turning into a Tiger Demon again, Keith attacked. He wanted to kill the Grim Reapers and avenge Azure Dragon. However, before his attack could land, a murderous, dangerous figure stood before them, and the attack died out with a dull thud.It was Azure Dragon, and he grabbed Keith's arm. Keith looked at the attacker with shock. "Azure Dragon?"
Though burdened by sadness, Bard still led his men out of the warzone. He didn't wish to leave Keith, but at this point, he must come out alive, or his team would die here. "We'll make our way out of here, men!"Bard unsheathed his saber and charged at the army with his team behind him. Seeing this, the Grim Reapers roared, "Don't let them get away! Kill them!"The Shadow Sect's members and the Shadow Division members battled.…While Imperia was plunged into chaos, an Eastsun flight was making its way to Riverton. Within the business class cabin, a silvery voice said, "Thanks for taking me back home, Mr. Greenshade. I'd probably be stuck in Eastsun for a long while otherwise."She was none other than Elise. After Nox saved her, she had been waiting for him at the base of Gurenu Peaks. Even after the cops were gone, she still stayed. Nox had appeared at the very last moment when death was about to claim her.Nox was sitting beside her at this moment. Ever since he got rid of the
Three months later, Nox declared Faeast as the leader of all nations, ushering in a true era of peace and prosperity. Then, he abdicated the throne, passing the throne to Nineve. Nox proclaimed that this nation was neither the Greenshade nor the Limerent family's, but a world that belonged to its people.One year later, Nox and Queenie lounged under the warm sun on the sandy shores of the Ocean of Death, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The world had finally settled into peace, allowing them to take a well-deserved rest."Nono, what's Aphrodite up to?" Queenie asked, her brows furrowed as she leaned against Nox. "Is she planning something shady again? She's been building alliances all over like she wants to imitate the Three-Eyed Empress.""Death changes people," Nox replied calmly. "Don't worry about her. She knows exactly what she's doing."Old Aphrodite would've killed Jacques and run off to save herself without a second thought. Instead, she spared him, stripped his cul
The Nine-State Crucible hovered majestically over the heavens, drawing all the spiritual energy from the Nine States and Five Domains into itself. As the ultimate artifact of Faeast, the crucible was unmatched—a legendary relic that had never known defeat.The origins of the Nine-State Crucible were shrouded in mystery. No one knew who forged it nor why it disappeared over the ages. For centuries, many dismissed it as a mere myth. Yet now, it reappeared, proving its existence—and, by extension, the truth of all the ancient legends tied to it.The sight left every cultivator present in awe, bowing in reverence to the artifact."The ancient sovereigns of Faeast forged the Nine-State Crucible to safeguard the Nine States and Five Domains. "Its power ensures that Ascendants cannot interfere with the mortal realm. It has crushed even Ascendants in the past, and you, still merely a mortal cultivator, think you can stand against it? I promised to crush you, and I will!"With Nox at it
However, only Nox himself could sever the celestial providence. Only by cutting off the Celestial Lord's celestial providence could Faeast's providence be restored to its peak."Damn it! Nox Greenshade! Do you really think you can defy the heavens? I didn't want to damage my cultivation, but it seems I have no choice but to go all out! You think a one-ring Minor Saint can defeat me? I am the Celestial Lord—the apex of mortals, the Great Saint of Dao and Virtue, ordained by the heavens themselves!"The Celestial Lord's furious roar resonated across Mystia, drawing in vast waves of spiritual energy from the realm that converged upon him alone."Great Saint of Dao and Virtue? If the so-called heavens of the Transcendent Firmament made you, it only proves that even they have failures," Nox retorted coldly.Even the Celestial Lord, enraged as he was, could scarcely believe Nox's audacity—daring to disparage the mighty figures of the Transcendent Firmament."I am indeed a one-ring Minor
'What? Griffin was a sworn brother to Magic Mountain's founder?!'"That's right," confirmed the formation master. "He only told us recently."As the first to learn of this connection, he had shared it with the Saints of the Five Elements, ensuring they wouldn't betray their alliance. Using the promise of ascension as leverage, he managed to secure their cooperation. After all, the Great Saint of Fire had already reached the threshold for ascension.The risks were minimal, and upon ascending to the Transcendent Firmament, the Magic Mountain's founder would surely offer his guidance. For that reason alone, the five mentors had rallied to aid Nox.With such mighty forces gathered, morale on Nox's side soared. Meanwhile, the Whitefield family's spirits plummeted, crashing from the heights of hope to the depths of despair in mere moments. The mental strain caused several of their weaker-willed members to break completely.With dread settling over them, the Whitefields could only place
The Whitefields were getting cocky, but then they realized the powerhouses that came weren't responding. The aura was powerful, but there was no life in it. On closer inspection, they noticed that the leader of the group only had half a body left. His soul was missing. The quartet behind him was nothing but a pile of mincemeat.The portal buzzed again, and seven silhouettes came out. Five of them felt domineering, and they looked prideful. It almost felt like they were peerless. These people were none other than the Saints of the Five Elements.Four of them were Pinnacle Minor Saints. While one had an aura so strong, this place couldn't handle it."A Great Saint! Great Saint of Fire!" Fiery Ignis, Dominic, and Achille couldn't believe their eyes.It had been too long since Mystia saw a Great Saint, and he was Nox's mentor."So, he's the one who broke through first. But now he's already hit his bottleneck. The other four's power isn't enough. If the Sacred Beast Seal isn't upgraded
The Montgomerys and the Byrds decided to see Nox together, but they were refused. They were cursing Nox and calling him disrespectful, but then they saw Nox and his team taking a portal to the path of the ancient divine."What? He went right to them? Why? He's going to fight the Celestial Lord now?" The representatives were shocked.'How dare they!' they thought.Nox and his team went through the portal quickly and appeared right over the Whitefields' place. The Whitefield family was the newest member of the divine four and the real mastermind behind the Inkdarks' demise."Kirin, I told you I'd take you back here someday. I told you that when we come back, the Whitefields will be no more. If you can't do it, I can wipe them out for you." Nox looked at Kirin."Don't look down on me, milord. You don't need to dirty your hands for them. I'll do it!" Kirin summoned his avatar, and with Saint power infused, the avatar turned into a real beast. The sacred beast itself descended upon the
"Time to finish this. My lord's going to the path of the ancient divine next. You should decide who's going to take over after the Celestial Lord is taken down. That's all. Now let's talk about our personal business. Listen up, anyone who had a part in attacking my family, tell your clans that I'm coming for them. I'm killing all of you!"Bloodlust filled the air, and the representatives were shocked. "You killed your own family. Yes, we made them attack you, but we never wanted to wipe it out!" the Whitefields' representative said.Kirin flew into a rage. "How low can you go? You forced them to kill me, or you would wipe us out instead! You think I'm stupid? You'd have killed my family either way! I know how you guys function. You're crueler than any beast out there. Listen up, there's still time to plan for your funeral. You'd better make a good plan."Kirin chased everyone away. The families were going back to prepare for battle, but two remained behind. One was the Byrds' repres
Nox's Magick Sword crushed the enemy leader's soul. "I said I would cut you down, and I did. Now do you see who's the ignorant one?"The enemy leader realized that Nox was the man at the pinnacle. Perhaps the moment Nox became a faux Saint, he was already no match for him. "So what if you can kill me? You are Faeast's Sovereign, and you have a duty to push Faeast to power. But the Celestial Lord still exists. As long as he is around, your wish will never be fulfilled." He sneered."Is that so? Well, he's next on the list to be culled. If anyone tries to make an enemy out of me, I will destroy them and their families, even if they are from the path of the ancient divine!"Nox shattered the remains of the soul, and the path of the martial's leader was no more. The problem harassing Faeast for millennia could be solved at long last. Achille was stunned. It hadn't been that long, but Nox had surpassed him.Nox was better than him in every way. He was an even better swordsman than Achil
The enemy leader was waiting. One technique broken wasn't enough to take Nox out. He wanted to wait until Nox had cast all he knew and find an opening to take him down, but Nox wanted to take him down with the power of the sword."You're stubborn. Very well, this makes things easier for me. I'll kill you, or at the very least, wound you!" He'd be stupid not to take advantage of this. The enemy leader's avatar morphed into a gigantic fist and slammed into Nox's chest.The impact shot through his body and reached his soul. Nox spat blood, and his soul was injured.Achille couldn't stand by anymore. Nox just told him not to push himself, but he wasn't taking his own advice. Then, Nox's weak will-of-the-sword shone blindingly, and then Unto the Origin appeared once more."Even under my pressure, you can use this technique? You're strong, but you're as stubborn as your mentor. You've lost your chance! Die! You'll never get here in time, Achille! Shadowkill!"The enemy leader's avatar t
