Wyot's voice echoed from the void. “The Jademora Empire has always respected strength. Since you’ve come to our territory and made bold statements, you should at least make it up to us.”His words, filled with menace and hostility, cast a heavy silence over the assembly.Zared’s face darkened as he slowly clenched his fist. “The Jademora Empire surely wouldn’t cheat and outnumber me, right?”Adair intervened, “The situation doesn’t call for it yet. However, I can’t guarantee that won’t happen if you don’t accept the challenge.”With her words, tens of thousands of troops from the Xerion Dragon Army charged forward and surrounded Zared.Zared’s heart pounded with fear but he kept it hidden. In a flash, he appeared before Jamie and said, “Alright, kid. I’ll accept your challenge. However, let’s be clear. It should be a fair fight. Life and death will be up to fate. Since you proposed it, you can’t blame me for the consequences.”Jaime stood up and beckoned to Zared.Enraged, Zared
Instantly, a transparent energy surged directly towards the leading sword among the wave of Sword Lights. The next moment, the Sword Lights, trapped by the Waltraud Power, began spinning rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound.Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!A burst of whistling noise followed as the Sword Lights broke free from the restraints of the Waltraud Power. They instantly shattered Zared’s defensive light shield and pierced through his body.Boom!With a loud bang, Zared’s body shield exploded, and eighty-one terrifying blood holes appeared on his body in an instant.Puff!Zared spat out a mouthful of blood and raised his head, a look of shock plastered across his face.“No, this is impossible. A kid can’t have defeated me. How can a mere kid at the Eighth Xaeclon Rank…”Puff!Before he could finish, he trembled violently once more. Behind him, Jaime had appeared, piercing the back of his head with a sword, the tip emerging from his throat.The entire scene fell silent, and every
Observing James and Jacopo's strange behavior, Yianni, Yaretzi, and Youcef exchanged puzzled glances. Only Thea approached slowly, her eyes red with emotion.James looked directly at Jacopo. “You’re the Greater Realms’ strongest, right? Now, there is a huge challenge. Do you dare to accept it?”“I’ll accept any challenge as long as you state it,” Jacopo replied, each word deliberate and firm.Thea suddenly rushed forward and shouted, “No! You can’t accept it! You’re not allowed to accept it.”Her extreme reaction caused both James and Jacopo to frown simultaneously. Yaretzi, Youcef, and Yianni exchanged uneasy glances.James said, “He’s a man and should act like one instead of being comfortable with his title as the strongest of the Greater Realms.”“I can’t let him…”James interrupted, “It’s non-negotiable. We’re the Cadens from the Jademora Empire. The creatures of the world pay homage to us. This is not just respect and admiration, but also a responsibility and commitment.”
James and his companions were about to leave the formation when a familiar figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.Wyot asked, “Could you stay to chat for a bit, my friends?”James and his group exchanged puzzled looks. Wyot stood just outside, not entering the formation.Thea telepathically asked James, “Does he recognize us?”James replied, “Impossible. We share a blood bond with Jacopo, so he would definitely recognize us. However, Wyot is just a close friend.”Thea inquired, “Then why is he doing this?”James didn’t respond. Instead, he raised his hand and opened a door in the formation.Wyot slowly stepped in. Under the group’s gaze, he bowed his head respectfully and said, “Thank you for the help just now. Not only did you prevent the Jademora Empire from being humiliated, but you also enhanced our prestige.“On behalf of the top leaders of the Jademora Empire, I would like to invite you to Forladtt Land for a chat. I hope you will not reject my invitation.”James
Wyot laughed at her question. “My dear guests, you must not know much about the Jademora Empire’s structure. Allow me to enlighten you.”James and the others exchanged glances, then nodded in response.“Although the Jademora Empire was founded by the Mortal Emperor, James Caden, he isn’t involved in management and has entrusted it to six close confidants.”“Which six confidants?” Youcef frowned.Wyot answered, “The Left Grand Lord, Rebella. The Right Grand Chancellor, Xatia. The Great Protector, Yancy. The Empire’s Chancellor, Xezal, the Left Grand Elder, Taran, and the Right Great Elder, Jurryt.”James, having altered his appearance, narrowed his eyes slightly.In the past, the management of the Jademora Empire indeed followed that precise structure. The empire’s affairs were controlled by these six, with Rebella having the final say when an agreement could not be reached. However, it seemed the core decision-making process had undergone significant changes.Under Thea’s persis
Her words and actions commanded not only the highest decision-maker and strategist of the empire but also the Greater Realms. She could even issue decrees that influenced the fate and direction of the Greater Realms.It was precisely due to her presence that the Doom Race held such a pivotal position in the Jademora Empire and the Greater Realms.After Wyot's enthusiastic explanation, Thea turned to James. "It seems that the Dooms have become the largest force in the Jademora Empire and Greater Realms. We have to accept their invitation. Otherwise, we'll face difficulties in the Greater Realms."Thea's words praised the Dooms on the surface, but her tone was filled with sarcasm and anger directed at James.Feeling the intense stares, James coughed twice and said, "It does seem the Dooms are indeed quite powerful, Dravon War King. The Jademora Empire controls all aspects of the Greater Realms."Wyot cupped his hands and laughed. "That's a generous compliment. It's all thanks to the
The current Forladtt Land, also known as the Jademora Empire’s capital, was a sacred place that many creatures across the myriad realms yearned for but could not easily access. Since the Jademora Empire took over the Greater Realms, the value of Forladtt Land had skyrocketed. To curb the influx of countless beings, the empire had imposed strict entry and exit restrictions, making it a forbidden area.The original five-layer structure of Forladtt Land remained unchanged, but its usage had evolved.The first layer was considered the suburbs of the imperial capital. It served as a temporary residence for those who managed to enter Forladtt Land. Hundreds of mercenary forces had formed, occupying the entire layer across various universes.These mercenary groups, while appearing as spontaneous organizations, were secretly backed by different powers within the Jademora Empire, creating a lawless and brutal environment. They constantly battled for resources and territories, exploiting and
Wyot said with a smile, “The void we walked through is a forbidden area. The Dooms need a place to cultivate, so they have their own dojos around here.”Yaretzi asked skeptically, “Do they only cultivate? As far as I know, those who haven’t reached the peak of the Xurxo Daeclon Rank can’t completely free themselves from the need for cultivation resources. Where do they get elixirs, herbs, and treasures?”Wyot chuckled and shook his head. “Ms. Yaretzi, the Dooms are the most skilled fighters in the Jademora Empire. Each one is a warrior ready to go to war for the empire. For minor things like cultivation resources, weapons, and treasures, they don’t need to acquire them themselves.”Youcef asked, puzzled, “What do you mean? Does your empire provide them?”Just as he finished speaking, they heard a series of screams from below the void.James and the others turned their heads and saw thousands of beautiful, graceful women being driven by a group of Doom guards wielding whips. They w
