“I’m asking you a question. Answer me!” said Gerald.“That’s right. The map that shows the mechanisms of the traps in Underworld Valley is the key to find the Primocorose. But the thing is, I snatched it from the Zahn family. So now, it belongs to the Mackowski family. Brother, don’t tell me you haven’t heard about my family?”Now that Zaker knew that he was no match for him and had no idea where the Seven Deadly Lords were, he could only act submissively.“No wonder the fog was so thick every time I went to Underworld Valley following the map. Looks like I guessed it correctly. There are indeed special traps in the valley.”Gerald finally found an answer to his question, and his eyes immediately lit up.“You said that the map is with you, right?”Gerald said excitedly.“That’s right. Brother, you are indeed quite powerful. However, you will know how powerful the Mackowski family is by simply asking anyone. I can forgive you for your impoliteness toward me today, but I will advi
“Zaker!”Moments later, Yusef Mackowski arrived with his men.As soon as he saw his son, who was dying, he was devastated.The Zahn and Mackowski families had ruled the entire Earth Capital for many years.Eventually, the Mackowski had become the dominant family in Earth Capital.Yet, unexpectedly, their only son, Zaker Mackoski, who was regarded by Yusef as the future heir of the Mackowski family, had actually suffered such a serious injury.“Were you the ones who harmed Young Master?!”Yusef was now full of malicious intent. He was glaring at them and releasing a strong aura from his body.The aura was enough to make the Seven Deadly Lords shiver and fall to the ground.A Nine-rank Chakra King was simply too horrifying.How could they withstand his strong aura?“No, Master! Young Master was hurt by the daughter of the Zahn family and a young man she conspired with. Besides, the young man snatched away the map of Underworld Valley. We tried to attack him, but he used Young
Yusef Makowski was the leader of the Mackowski family in Earth Capital. He was also a Nine-rank Chakra King. Hence, he had divine power.“Gerald, what should we do now?! He came too quickly. Moreover, his cultivation level is extremely high!”Nori grabbed Gerald’s arm desperately.Gerald had clearly underestimated the ability of a Nine-rank Chakra King.In truth, his divine eye had already sensed him earlier on. He should have left immediately at that time.He was a Nine-rank Chakra King after all. His speed could not be judged using the standards of any common cultivators. Right now, Gerald was working out the best plan in his heart quickly.After experiencing the first attack, Gerald could distinctly feel the gap between his and Yusef’s strength. If he was to fight with him head-on, he would be as good as dead.His opponent was in the ninth rank, a rank that even he, who owned the Herculean Primordial Spirit, found very hard to achieve.“Hey, kid. You are quite impressive.
By the time Yusef wanted to react to what he had seen, it was already too late.The light was too difficult to block as it had come very suddenly.The light hit his eyes directly, and he stumbled a few steps backward. His head spun crazily, and he fell to the ground.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald ran, taking Nori along with him.“B*stard, how dare you play dirty tricks on me! Today, I, Yusef Mackowski, will break you into pieces!”Yusef’s spiritual power was heavily damaged. Now, he was looking at Gerald's back who was running away in the opposite direction unwillingly, but he could only gnash his teeth with hatred.Gerald did not dare to delay any longer.He knew that his power was too weak. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only hold Yusef off temporarily. Now, hiding was no longer possible.The only thing he could do was to rely on the map and get into Underworld Valley. Using the traps to their advantage, they could somehow block Yusef from getti
A loud bang was heard, and Gerald’s sword hit a big stone behind it, smashing it into ashes.Bang!The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the coffin.It was as if the lid of the coffin was transformed into a divine arrow, and it flew toward Gerald.Slap!Gerald blocked it with his palm.Once the battle started, Gerald was appalled.A strong force appeared, and it dragged Gerald a few ten meters backward.“Gerald, are you alright?”Nori asked quickly in concern.Honestly, although Nori was using Gerald as a means to survive, she was sincerely worried about him when she saw him get injured.After all, it was not the first time Gerald had saved her.If it wasn’t for him, she would already be dead.“This thing is so powerful! It’s just another Yusef Mackowski!”Blue veins bulged on Gerald’s arm, and he could feel a tingling sensation in his arm.Meanwhile, white smoke was still coming out from the coffin.Then, they saw a pair of ancient official boots slowly
“Hurry and get on your feet, Gerald!” shouted Nori as she ran over to help pull him up. Seeing that she had grabbed the swaddling clothes—that honestly looked more like a rag by now—Gerald then held it in hand before threatening, “Take one more step forward and I’m destroying this thing! Come on, I dare you!” Upon hearing that, the zombie instantly roared! To both their surprise, however, the zombie actually lifted both its arms before taking quite a few steps back! Clearly an indication that it wasn’t going to make any other rash moves, Nori then sighed in relief before saying, “…I really hadn’t expected this thing to actually retain its humanity!” Just as Gerald was about to breathe his own sigh of relief, a roar of laughter could suddenly be heard booming across the sky… Following that, a blinding flash could be seen… and seconds later, a figure dropped from the sky in a beam of light! Landing right before Gerald, the figure fumbled for a bit, possibly due to the after
Even so, no matter how far Yusef went, Fezrumoz simply continued pursuing him! Seeing that running wasn’t doing him any good, Yusef then shouted, “You b*stard! How dare you! Continue chasing me and I’ll burn those swaddling clothes of yours! Once I do that, your pitiful child won’t even have any bones left behind! You wouldn’t want that, would you?!” According to the rumors that Yusef had heard before, one didn’t need to panic or run whenever they bumped into Fezrumoz. The only thing one needed to do to scare the beast off was declare that they would snatch the zombie’s swaddling clothes if it came any closer. While it should have stopped Fezrumoz from attacking any further, the zombie only began attacking even more viciously after hearing Yusef say that! Yusef’s words seemed to have only infuriated it even more! “What the hell? Why aren’t you stopping?!” grumbled Yusef with a frown. In his state of panic, he turned to look at Gerald and Nori… Only to realize that both of the
Upon hearing that, Nori instantly screamed before running over to hide behind Gerald! Neither of them had earlier noticed the presence of the sword that had probably been hovering above the pool this entire time. The more shocking thing, however, was the fact that a black figure could—in turn—be seen faintly hovering atop the sword! “W-who are you…?” demanded the frightened Nori. “I go by Jade Infused Blade!” replied the figure in a rather faint mechanical tone. “You… How could you be this despicable…? Were you waiting to see my bare body…?” mumbled Nori, too embarrassed to say it out loud. “Before any further misunderstandings take place, I’ll have you know that I’m blind, miss. I only came over since I sensed my master’s aura within the vicinity,” explained Jade Infused Blade as his body slowly solidified… Once he stepped closer, Gerald and Nori saw that Jade Infused Blade was actually a long-haired warrior donning black armor. “Your master…?” asked the surprised Nori.
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
