Marty's words were firm and resonated with conviction.The higher-ups were visibly shocked. What was he trying to do? Even if he had become a peak transcendent, did he think he was invincible? Was he now the strongest in Novo Ordo?They all knew that Esmond and the other peak transcendent seniors had years of experience and deep foundations that a newly ascended transcendent couldn't possibly match.Esmond's expression turned grim.At that moment, Melvin stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mendoza, please contact Mr. Heath."As soon as he spoke, his energy flared. A thunderous burst shook the room.Gasps filled the hall.A senior exclaimed, "Melvin, you've also ascended to a peak transcendent? How is that even possible?""And me." Marcus snorted coldly and stepped forward.The three stood side by side. Their peak-level presences roared like tidal waves.The power granted by Gideon made their transcendence even stronger than usual. Among them, Marty's strength even surpassed Esmond
"Mr. Poe, Kitherglen is vast and boundless. Where are we supposed to find the sect leader? Please give us a clue or a way to contact him directly," Marty said."Take this." Hubert handed a small box to Marty and said, "When you reach the northern mountain pass of Kitherglen, open the box. You'll know what to do then.""Thank you, Mr. Poe."Marty accepted the box, and the three left Novo Ordo in haste, leaving Monmouth.Only after confirming they weren't being followed did they allow themselves to relax slightly. The entirety of Monmouth was under Novo Ordo's control, and they had no idea where spies might be lurking. As a result, the three of them had stayed on high alert within the city."I've heard that the Jaeger royal family resides somewhere within the Kitherglen mountain range. Do you think we'll get to visit them this time?" Melvin asked."Maybe," Marty replied, his expression grave. "But I doubt it'll be that simple. It's highly likely that once we enter Kitherglen, we wo
"I've heard of the royal family!" At this moment, a white-haired elderly man from the Farrell family, trembling with awe, immediately knelt. His face was filled with reverence. "Greetings, Lord Douglas!"The elder, second only to Zachary in authority within the Farrell family, carried significant influence.Seeing him kneel, the others dared not delay. The entire Farrell family followed suit, kneeling in unison. "Greetings, Lord Douglas!"This display greatly pleased Douglas, filling him with satisfaction."Rise," Douglas said, lightly fanning himself with his fan, his demeanor elegant. "I heard that the Farrell family is in trouble. I've come under my aunt's orders to provide assistance. Tell me the situation.""Please, Lord Douglas, come inside."In the conference room, the Farrell family explained their predicament in detail."So, it's primarily Harvey's Sunnigh Commerce Association, the Avila family, and the Horne family causing the trouble?" Douglas asked."Yes, Lord Dougl
Rachel asked, "So, should we go?""Why should we?" Gideon rolled his eyes and called out, "Lysander!""Here!""Go to the Farrell family and deliver my message. They are to come to Beaker Island immediately.""As you command!"Lysander left at once.Harvey, Rachel, and Gary exchanged glances, finding the situation intriguing. However, Harvey and Gary were a bit uneasy, unsure if Gideon could match the strength of that terrifying man, Douglas.Rachel, on the other hand, had no such concerns. She was well aware of Gideon's strength and had complete confidence in him.…At the Farrell estate, a grand feast was underway.Douglas had arrived with only Cade Porter, his subordinate, by his side. For him, one person was enough!After all, Cade was one of the top ten strongest individuals in the Chapman royal family, a world-renowned powerhouse."Why haven't they arrived yet?" After several rounds of drinks, Douglas was growing impatient.Zane said, "Lord Douglas, I don't think they
Douglas' words left Cade stunned.Douglas chose to compromise? How could that be?He was one of the six sons of the Chapman royal family, ranking fourth in terms of status, prestige, and overall strength. He was a figure of unparalleled pride and dignity. How could someone like him compromise?Could it be that he was doing this for the Farrell family, not wanting the Farrell estate to be destroyed?Those who followed Douglas outside, like Zachary, were moved to tears, thinking Douglas had humbled himself to protect the Farrells.Lysander narrowed his eyes and smiled. "If that’s the case, then please do so at once. We'll see you at Beaker Island!"With those words, Lysander turned to leave.But at that moment, a sharp explosion rang out. It was the sound of a gunshot. The entire scene fell silent.Lysander froze. He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief. Just now, a bullet had pierced through his back, right into his heart. Blood gushed out uncontrollably.In
At the same time, Gideon instructed Qyra to retrieve treasure medicines from the vault. Over time, Geoffrey had collected numerous precious medicines but hadn't taken them with him. They remained stored in the underground vault of Beaker Island.Before long, Qyra returned with over a dozen treasured medicines.Gideon crushed them directly, and the rich essence was infused into Lysander's body. Under Gideon's extraordinary medical skills, the bullet hole in Lysander's heart began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.The entire crowd was stunned.Cade and Pedro were frozen in place, speechless and motionless."Soul-Reaping Needle!" Gideon shouted decisively.He performed the most challenging technique of the "19 Vitality Needles", a formation known as Soul-Reaping. It was a technique to snatch a life back from the clutches of death!One second, two seconds, three seconds…Ten seconds later, Lysander coughed, life returning to his body.Cade and Pedro cried out simultaneo
At the Farrell estate, Zachary and the others were still drinking with Douglas, awaiting Harvey, Rachel, and Gary to come to pay their respects.According to Douglas' plan, all three families were to submit to the Farrell family, handing over two-thirds of their wealth. If they refused, their entire families would face annihilation. Such was their dominance and directness!Zachary silently calculated. If they managed to claim two-thirds of the three families' wealth, the Farrells would soar to new heights. Given time, they might even have a shot at entering Dalhurst."Sir!" Suddenly, the butler rushed in, flustered. "Someone has arrived!""Is it Harvey and the others?" Zachary asked with a smile.However, the butler replied, "It's not Harvey. It's a stranger who claims to have brought a grand gift!""Oh?" Zachary was intrigued.Could it be that word had spread so quickly about the Farrell family's rise, and someone was already eager to curry favor by presenting gifts?"Sir, the
Douglas' eyes glinted coldly. "To kill a warrior of the royal family and offend us? No one in this world can save them! Whoever it is, they must die! I want Goldspire turned upside down!"Zachary wiped his tears and asked, "Lord Douglas, what will you do? Will you contact the royal family and arrange for reinforcements? It seems there isn't time."That man said they would drop by in 30 minutes. If they could kill Mr. Porter, their strength must have been terrifying. We might not be able to face them!"Douglas replied coldly, "The power of the royal family is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Prepare the car. We're going to the Mayor's Mansion!"15 minutes later, at the Mayor's Mansion, Caius greeted Douglas warmly.Caius spoke with a smile, "It's truly an honor for a royal prince to visit Goldspire. When did you arrive, Lord Douglas? Why didn't you inform us in advance so that we could give you a proper welcome?"Douglas replied, "Mr. Grayson, you're too kind. I didn't
After Orabella departed, Umbra asked, "Why didn't you prevent her from leaving? There's a chance she might be meeting with The Light Council members. Stay vigilant and don't let yourself be caught off guard and deceived!" Gideon shrugged, gazing indifferently at the night sky. "I know what I'm doing," he replied. "Orabella has some intentions, but my instincts tell me she's not a threat to me at the moment. Besides, if she was determined to go, I wouldn't have been able to stop her anyway." He then asked, "Speaking of which, how is your physical conditioning progressing? You're currently no match for Orabella." "It's challenging," Umbra sighed. "Cultivating the pure-essence physique isn't simple. It's similar to how developing your Solar Titan Physique requires the right timing, environment, companions, and opportunities."Actually, I'm quite jealous of Elara. Her pure essence core has fully awakened. Once she regains consciousness, her cultivation will advance rapidly, and sh
Eduardo yelled, but it was too late to turn back. The punch smashed through the ranks of Windrunners, leaving a trail of devastation. In a flash, the scene was one of bloodshed and chaos. Countless Black Raptors and warriors from the Windrunners were slain. The air was filled with the sound of rushing wind. Blood rained down from the sky. Eduardo, drenched in blood, held Zephara protectively in his arms. Witnessing the bloody and brutal scene, his heart felt as if it were being torn apart. Thunder rumbled. Yet, it wasn't over. A Blood Moon Tempest began to rise. It was a sword technique unleashed by Gideon—the Blood Moon Tempest. "Dad!" Zephara was already terrified by the previous punch.And now, seeing the storm resembling a blood dragon, she couldn't help but shiver. "I didn't expect him to be so powerful! We underestimated him!" Eduardo was filled with regret.These were the top members of the clan, and now, thousands had been lost, dealing a significant blow that great
Atop the Black Raptors, lines of armored warriors known as the Windrunners stood ready. The foremost Black Raptor was exceptionally large. Clearly, it was an Alpha Black Raptor. Riding on the back of this Alpha Black Raptor were a man and a woman.Gideon had encountered the woman previously. She was Zephara, known as Ms. Tempest of Windrunners. The middle-aged man next to her was unsurprisingly the leader of Windrunners, Zephara's father, Eduardo Tempest. "So, you're the one who attacked my daughter!" "And who are you?" "I'm Eduardo Tempest, head of Windrunners." "I see when I deal with the younger one, the older one steps in. If I defeat you, will your father come after me, too?" Gideon taunted with a laugh. "How dare you!" Eduardo exploded with anger.Gideon chose not to speak further. He activated his Solar Titan Physique, lighting up the night sky as if it were midday. "Let's fight," he declared. "But remember. You'll have to face the consequences, and I hope you won'
"Is this truly the Mystic Supreme Bone?" Gideon asked, still in disbelief that a fragment of a ninth-level apex overbeast's bone was now in his possession. Orabella smiled and replied, "You've got incredible luck. They've unknowingly set the stage for you, and they must be furious about it now." "By the way, what exactly can this Mystic Supreme Bone do? It has a majestic presence, but what is its actual use?" Gideon asked."You aren't familiar with it, are you? The Mystic Supreme Bone has numerous remarkable uses," Orabella explained seriously. "Firstly, it can be used to create weapons. The bone is extremely durable. "Although this small finger bone alone isn't sufficient to make a weapon, you can refine it and integrate it into your own hand, allowing it to merge with your finger bone.""Merge with my finger bone?" Gideon asked."Yes," Orabella said with anticipation, "If you succeed in the fusion, your finger bone will become unbreakable, and the power of a single finger st
At the same time, Gideon and Pacino sprang into action, causing the three forces to clash and the glowing object to be tossed aside. As it landed, everyone could see it clearly. "A bone?" they exclaimed in surprise. They had anticipated discovering a rare treasure or a divine weapon, not a mere piece of bone. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a finger bone. It was as large as a palm and incomplete. It was evident that it couldn't belong to a human. It was clearly from a beast."Mystic Supreme Bone." Orabella gasped in amazement. At that moment, Pacino's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his aged eyes flashed with a fierce intensity. "Gideon, seize it quickly. That's the finger bone of an apex overbeast. It is Mystic Supreme Bone, with countless incredible applications. We can't let it slip away." In reality, as soon as Orabella had cried out, Gideon had already activated his Solar Titan Physique, exuding an air of dominance. "Doombringer Knuckle!" he shouted,
"Harmoni, are you positive there's treasure here?" Brantley asked, wiping the sweat from his brow. He was standing at the bottom of the large pit, peering up at Harmoni with a doubtful expression. "I've dug this far, and there's still nothing. Is it possible you got it wrong?""No, it's definitely here," Harmoni insisted confidently. "Just keep trying." With no other option, Brantley resumed his digging. Just then, Gideon appeared at the doorway. Harmoni spun around, her eyes narrowing in surprise. "What are you doing here?" she exclaimed. "Hmm?" Gideon looked utterly confused. "Do we know each other?"Harmoni pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.Earlier, during the epic clash between Brightbane Sect and Naesbrey Fortress on the eastern plains, Gideon appeared and defended Umbra from Draven and his allies. He showcased remarkable strength during that encounter. Both Harmoni and Brantley had witnessed the battle, leaving them with a lasting impression of Gideon.W
Gideon looked at Orabella with indifference and said, "Quit having your sights set on Elara!" "You think too highly of me." "What do you mean?" Gideon asked, but Orabella didn't respond. Instead, she turned away and left. Her hands, tucked inside her sleeves, had turned bluish, a sign of frostbite from the pure essence energy. Earlier, Orabella had indeed tried to use the Hellrend Severance Technique to seize Elara's pure essence core. However, she had not anticipated the strength of the core and nearly faced a backlash. Luckily, she stopped just in time, so only her hands ended up frostbitten.… A series of bombing sounds echoed at the entrance and exit.Cinque and Sei hurried over, furious at the sight. "You kids have a lot of guts coming to Bandit's Hollow to wreak havoc! Who gave you the audacity to do this?"As they spoke, a massive handprint struck toward them. Brantley glanced up, his eyes gleaming like lightning. He launched a punch. With a loud boom, the ha
"We're almost there."Under the night sky, a massive winged beast raced through the air. On its back sat a man and a woman—Harmoni and Brantley."Harmoni, what exactly is this treasure you keep talking about?""Let's keep a little mystery. You'll know when we get there. But…" Harmoni's expression grew serious. "This treasure isn't going to be easy to obtain.""What do you mean?""Up ahead is Bandit's Hollow. The treasure is hidden within it. But Bandit's Hollow is home to seven fearsome hooligans. We are no match for them."Brantley smirked. "Then, why the hell are we even going?"Harmoni replied, "Talonclaw has some history with the leader of the seven hooligans. My grandfather once fought alongside him, so there's a bit of a connection."But my grandfather has long since passed. Our clan hasn't contacted him in years. I don't know if he'll honor my grandfather's memory and let us take the treasure."Brantley frowned. "If the treasure is in Bandit's Hollow, wouldn't they have
As everyone knew, the Spirale Clan controlled highly advanced technological weaponry, a power that many coveted. Even the beast tribes kept a watchful eye on them, waiting for an opportunity.Once The Light Council and Gideon's forces launched their attack, chaos would inevitably follow. Various factions—including the beast tribes and those apex overbeasts—would all get involved, each seeking a share of the spoils.If word of this got out, it would shake nations across the world."This is big!""This isn't just any battle. It's an upheaval!""Gideon, Ms. Corthopp, you aren't messing with us, are you? You're seriously going after the Spirale Clan?"The seven hooligans suddenly felt that Gideon storming into Bandit's Hollow to humiliate them wasn't such a big deal.After all, he was now planning to attack the Spirale Clan.They could feel their perception of him shifting once again, elevating Gideon's status to an entirely new level.Orabella nodded. "Yes, we are. The Light Coun
