Upon hearing that, the woman in white could only shake her head in resignation. Watching as her figure slowly faded as she returned into the eternal coffin, the King of Judgment—who was now seething in rage—roared, “…What the hell did you mean by that? Didn’t you hear what I just said?!” “I think she’s made herself extremely clear, quite honestly,” said Yreth who had been watching the entire scene play out with her arms behind her back. “…What do you mean by that?” “You know what I mean. How could a woman who’s already been with an eagle ever fall in love with a mere locust?” replied Yreth without thinking her words through. “… What did you just say to me…?! You b*stard!” growled the King of Judgment Portal, his face reddened in rage. It was only at that moment when Yreth realized that she shouldn’t have spoken her mind out to him! Knowing how much she had messed up, the old woman immediately apologized, “I should’ve watched my tongue, King of Judgment Portal! Please forgiv
Rushing to the door, the second Seth opened it, he was instantly greeted by the tip of a pistol being pointed at his forehead! Upon recovering from his shock, he slowly backed off as several guards—dressed in suits—quickly began exiting the house together with Suri as well as Seth’s grandfather, both of them held at gunpoint. “Nobody moves or I’ll shoot!” yelled a middle-aged man—who seemed to be the leader of the group—as over a dozen more armed bodyguards rushed out from the woodshed behind the house. Currently, everyone—who wasn’t a guard—had at least a few guns aimed at them, though Gerald was by far the one being targeted the most. Following that, the middle-aged man excitedly said, “For you to predict that Gerald would be here, you truly have incredible foresight, eldest young lady! We’ve truly made a great achievement this time!” At that moment, a young woman and man—who looked rather handsome—walked out and stood side by side, smiling coldly as they looked at the scen
With that in mind, Gerald truly felt like laughing at their attempt at capturing him. “Humph! Boasting even when you’re about to die? How shameless! I hope you realize that I only lost that day since I was careless! Regardless, from the moment I lost, I knew that I’d never be able to forget how humiliating that moment was for the rest of my life! Knowing that, I swore that I’d kill you sooner or later to reclaim my glory, and now, you’re finally in my grasp!” declared Fernando before coughing slightly. From that, it was a clear sign that his injuries—that Gerald had inflicted upon him back then—hadn’t even properly healed yet. “He’s right! We need to settle this resentment between us, once and for all! I definitely won’t be letting you off that easily this time!” scoffed Matilda before laughing maliciously. In response, however, Gerald simply shook his head before saying, “What a pity…” Narrowing his eyes, Fernando then asked, “…What did you mean by that? And why are you shakin
“…How… is any of this even possible…?” muttered the flabbergasted Fernando under his breath. “I’ve already told you that those guns were nothing but toys to me. As for your guards, they only have as much presence as rag dolls! You truly shouldn’t have acted that rashly you know? Hurting my friend… You truly are courting death, aren’t you?” replied Gerald with a subtle smile. “…I… I don’t believe that you’re that almighty! Men! Let’s kill him together!” ordered Fernando while gritting his teeth in resentment. ‘We’re of the same age… How could he be so much more powerful than me…?!’ By that point, all of the guards were already greatly aware of how dangerous their current situation was. What they were currently feeling was akin to them falling into a frigid cave with no way out. With nerve-wracking chills running down their spines, the guards knew that death could greet them at any second. However, they weren’t willing to just go out like this! Wanting to live to see another da
Just as Gerald had said, Fernando was now pretty much as good as dead. The second Gerald pointed his finger at him, Fernando instantly vomited blood before flopping lifelessly to the ground. Matilda herself was already screaming in terror as she tugged at her hair. Falling to her knees before Gerald, she instantly began begging, “P-please spare my life…! I swear none of what I did was on purpose…! Please, please don’t kill me…!” “You’ve been given enough chances. Now cease!” replied Gerald as he pointed his finger at her as well, sending a hollow knife slashing across the devastated woman’s neck! Falling to the ground, it was only a second later when Matilda breathed her last breath. After witnessing all that had happened, Rosie found herself shivering as she said, “…How… How frightening… To think that you were able to kill so many people in such a short amount of time…!” “I only kill those who deserve to die,” replied Gerald casually. At that moment, he suddenly raised his
‘Back then, Gerald could hardly withstand a single blow from me… It isn’t even a stretch to say that he was nothing more than a puppet to me just a few days ago! Even so, to think that he’s become such an exceptional person in his short absence… I hate to admit it, but at his current strength, he isn’t too far off from what I’m capable of… No wonder he’s been so confident…!’ Queena thought to herself. ‘While it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to defeat him at his current strength, capturing and controlling him will be near-impossible now! After all, from what I can tell, he can easily evade me now, and extremely easily too!’ Watching as Queena continued pondering the situation, Gerald simply glared at her before saying, “While I’m incapable of killing you at the moment, I’ll have you know that capturing me won’t be an easy feat!” “…You… What did you say…? You wish to kill me…?” replied Queena in disbelief. ‘I’ve loved you for tens of thousands of years…! Tell me, are there an
“Go on…” “Well, I’m seeking union between the both of us. You see, by relying on the pure yang energy in your body, I’ll be able to be just like her and get the chance to practice Thunder Eruption as well. Once I’ve gotten the hang of it, I’ll be able to travel back and forth between earth and Jaellatra! In other words, I’ll be one step closer to achieving my dream of going through true rebirth!” Upon hearing that, Gerald deepened his voice as he replied, “…I see. From what I now understand, both of you wish to breach into Jaellatra again… If that’s the case, negotiation isn’t completely out of the question!” “A negotiation? What are your terms?” “Well, for now, I suggest we form an alliance in order to take down the King of Judgment Portal. I have two reasons to back that up. Firstly, I could die by his hands if I don’t get sufficient help. Secondly, from what I can understand, he’s probably not too keen on allowing you to have your way either, isn’t he?” proposed Gerald. “A
“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a seductive smile. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at her with a faint smile. Naturally, he wasn’t about to tell her that he was going to save the woman in white at midnight. However, he was also well aware that if he wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his efforts while he was summoning the woman in white’s soul… It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly remember where the snake cave is…?” The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along since Gerald invited her to—and Gerald himself. “Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still need to gather my bearings a bit bette
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh
‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the
His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.
“…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc
“Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,
From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if you’re already thinking about killing me t
