Everyone in the living room was Darryl's close friend or family member, so they instantly recognized the voice to be Darryl's. Shocked, they shot up from their seats and quickly rushed out of the room. Their minds went blank, and their eyes began to brim with tears when they saw the handsome and tall man with a playful smile on his lips standing outside.'Is it really him? Am I dreaming?' They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and looked at him again. 'It's really him! It's Darryl! He's still alive!'"Brother Chester! Dax! Yvette! Yvonne!" Darryl shouted as he looked at them one after another. His heart was filled with joy, and the tears began to stream down his cheeks. Three years—it had been three long years! He had missed everyone in the Nine Mainland so much. He could not keep his emotions in check when he was finally reunited with them."Darryl!""Well, I'll be damned."Chester and Dax finally snapped back to their senses when Darryl called their names. Shock and happiness col
Yvette trembled as she slowly made her way toward him. Her exquisite face was filled with disbelief. "Darry, is it really you? I… I'm not dreaming, am I?"She stroked his face while her yearning eyes looked at him. "It's me, Yvette…" His voice wavered as he pulled her toward him. It took him an immense amount of effort to keep his tears in. Those three years must have been hard on her as she had lost too much weight. When she heard his voice, Yvette could not keep in it anymore. She jumped into his arms and wept loudly. "I thought I'd never see you again. I miss… miss you so much!"Three years. Three. Whole. Years. She had spent the first two years sitting in the Carters' garden, reminiscing the times she had with Darryl, hoping against all odds that he was still alive somewhere and that he would come back to her one day. However, when the third year came, she stopped hoping. It was not until a month ago that her hope was rekindled when Yuri told them that Darryl was still al
Darryl smiled, and they went inside. After everyone took their seat, he began to tell them all that had happened to him. He omitted the part about his status as the Nine Heaven Sage and also about Archfiend Antigonus. He did not want them to be too shocked. It took everyone quite a while to come around Darryl had finished his story.Chester was the first to snap out of his shock. "Darry, you're really lucky to be alive. I can't believe the Nine Heaven Emperor didn't punish you and even let you come back here."Darryl smiled and said, "I have the Ghost Valley Sage to thank for that. If it weren't for him, I would still be stuck there."He could not tell them about what really happened to the Ghost Valley Sage since he did not mention the part about him being the Nine Heaven Sage. Fortunately, Chester seemed to be satisfied with his answer. After all, the Ghost Valley Sage was the most outstanding person in the world, so it was not too far-fetched to say that the Nine Heaven Emperor l
However, the Cloud Valley sect had always kept to themselves, so few people knew about them. Their sect master was 60 years old Cranos Blanc. His power was profound, and he was also skilled in Chinese metaphysics. Amongst the long line of sect masters, he was the most outstanding of them all.On the square behind the manor, the disciples of the Cloud Valley sect were neatly positioned; all of them were working hard at practicing their martial art skills. Cranos, sitting on the chair on the sideline, was giving out pointers from time to time. Suddenly, an earth-shaking tremor came from somewhere close to the manor, and all the disciples stopped what they were doing as confusion and fear colored their faces. However, Cranos remained seated, but he had a grave expression on his face.An elder came quickly, and he respectfully said to Cranos, "Master, the tremors came from the forbidden area. It might be the emergence of a treasure. There have always been strange occurrences like this
Cranos took a deep breath and said, "Don't ask any questions and just follow me."There was an unprecedented sense of solemnity on his face. Then, he entered the passage with a confused Skylar following from behind him. Skylar gasped as soon as he stepped foot into the passage. He saw countless steps, but he did not know where it led as there was no end in sight. He would not even be surprised if they arrived at the center of the earth. The further they went, the more spacious the surroundings became. He never thought there was a cave beneath the manor. That made him even more confused. After walking for a while, they came to a passage blocked by a layer of rippling forcefield. It was filled with strange power fluctuations."Father, what is that?" Skylar asked. "An enchanted barrier," Cranos answered him. Skylar was about to ask something else when he saw that Cranos had already passed through the enchanted barrier. He quickly followed after him. After crossing the barrier,
"Do you know what our forefather did?" Cranos asked."Why do you ask, Father? Ever since I was young, you told me that our forefather was a peerless cultivator. Later, he was forced to live in seclusion in the Cloud Valley because of the feud in the world of cultivators. All of that was recorded in our family history book handed down from generation to generation—"Cranos shook his head and said, "All of those are not true."'What? The records in the family history book are fake?' Skylar was dumbstruck as his brain buzzed. As if he had guessed what Skylar was thinking of, Cranos said, "Our family hides a huge secret, and that secret is related to the survival of our family. It is of great importance. Therefore, the records written in the family history book are only for ordinary family members. The truth is only known to the family heads."Cranos took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Skylar, you're an adult now, and the future of our family depends on you. Therefore, you should
Cranos tried to keep his excitement in check. He stared intently at Skylar and said, "Skylar, it is our duty to inherit our forefather's fiend soul and find His Excellency, the Archfiend. You're a natural-born talent, the most outstanding in your generation, and my heir. Therefore, I entrust this mission to you."Skylar took a deep breath and stood there, speechless, for a while. He could not calm the storm in his heart. It would be impossible for anyone to stay calm after all that. He had always felt there was more to the reason for his family's self-imposed isolation, but he never expected it to be something so shocking."What should I do now, Father?" Skylar asked when he finally processed everything.Cranos looked at the floating fiend soul and said, "Integrate the fiend soul's power into your body. Don't worry. We are the descendants of a fiend, which means our physique is different from ordinary people. Therefore, we can withstand its power.""Just how powerful is it?" Skylar
The elders and elite disciples sat in the living room. When everyone was there, Cranos smiled and said, "Everyone, I have two things to announce today. One, from today onward, the disciples can go out into the world, and two, Skylar will officially be Cloud Valley's sect master from today onward. Please do your utmost best to support him and the family."Many of the elite disciples became extremely excited."Yes! We can finally go out!""This has to be a dream, right?"The elite disciples were young and energetic. They wished for nothing else but to have a chance to make a name for themselves in the world of cultivators. However, because of the family rules, they had no choice but to suppress their dreams. Therefore, they cheered at the announcements.However, the elders were looking at each other with conflicted expressions on their faces. Finally, one of the elders stood up and said to Cranos, "Master, living in seclusion in the Cloud Valley has been a rule passed down for tho
Behind Darryl, Ambrose smiled widely, looking at Darryl with happiness in his eyes.Then, under the gaze of thousands, the brides entered. Instantly, there were cheers all around. Many men looked envious. The eight brides were drop-dead gorgeous! Debra, Yvette, Yvonne, Monica, Aurora, Shannon, Quincy, and Lily. They held hands and walked on stage.More importantly, each of the brides was of high status. Some were empresses, some were Sect Masters. It could be said that Darryl was living the ultimate dream of many men.The expensive gowns showed off their attractive curves. At that moment, when they stood together, each of them looked so beautiful as if they were angels, gracing the presence of mortal humans. It was a visual feast.Soon, the wedding was at its peak where they were pronounced husband and wives. Rapturous applause rang out.Darryl walked over and kissed each wife on the cheek. He also took many photos and uploaded them to his public WeMet account, the North Valle
Especially Magaera. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was finally relieved. After all, he had previously destroyed the prince's fairy soul. It was the death penalty.Seeing how sincere they were about their mistakes, the Ancient Ancestor said nothing else. He scanned the crowd and said seriously, "Alright, I am now going to announce an important matter. "While I was cultivating in seclusion, many things had happened. However, the Godly Region can't go a day without a ruler. I have decided to anoint Darryl Darby as the new Heaven Emperor."Daryl is kind and knowledgeable. He had previously helped defend against the fiend race. He has worked hard for the Godly Region. He was later also the master of Aurin, being the Royal Master. He is more than qualified for the role."Wow! Upon his words, the entire hall was in an uproar. However, soon, the officials and the Immortals went up to Darryl and congratulated him. After all, the Ancient Ancestor was right. Darryl had indeed
What the hell…Emperor Aurelias was stunned. He looked at the Ancient Ancestor with disbelief. Impossible. He had personally destroyed the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul. How could he still be alive? Finally, Emperor Aurelias came to his senses. He said, "You…" He was so stunned that he could no longer continue his sentence after muttering a word.The Ancient Ancestor silently looked at him without any expression on his face. He slowly said, "The one that you destroyed previously was only one of my other duplicates. Aurelias, you are still the same after so many years. I am truly disappointed in you.""Haha!" Upon hearing that, Emperor Aurelias was first stunned, then he laughed maniacally. "Stop with the nagging. Even if you favored the Nine Heaven Emperor, he is already dead. In your heart, I can never live up to him. This makes me unhappy. What are you going to do about that?"Then, Emperor Aurelias attacked the Ancient Ancestor. He knew that there was no point crying over sp
Woo! Darryl took a deep breath and slowly said, "We're at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, many fiend race warriors have died here. The aura here is extremely hostile. Mixing the aura with the Immortals Trap Formation, it should be able to hold him in…"However, before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Aurelias screeched loudly. A burst of energy exploded from him, slamming onto the Immortals Trap Formation.Slam! With a loud rumble, Emperor Aurelias destroyed a few stone pillars. The formation's powers were instantly weakened. Taking this opportunity, Emperor Aurelias broke free from the formation.What the hell! Upon seeing this scene, Darryl was bewildered. Emperor Aurelias had such terrifying powers that even the Immortals Trap Formation could not contain him.Magaera's expressions changed too. His eyes were filled with nervousness and gravity.At that moment, Emperor Aurelias glared at them. "You brats. Die!" Then, he burst forth with the force of thunder. Facing this s
Magaera would be the one to lure Emperor Aurelias there. At the right moment, Darryl would activate the Immortals Trap Formation and trap Emperor Aurelias in it.Darryl even took out the Divine Dragon Jade to send a distress signal to Shandy. Shandy gave Darryl the Divine Dragon Jade, and he always kept it on him.Darryl hid by the side quietly and waited soon after setting up the formation.Slam! Slam! Slam!Soon after, he heard fighting in the nearby skies, followed by the arrival of two figures.It was Magaera and Emperor Aurelias.Dark clouds formed wherever they were, and the wind blew as a result of the terrifying surge of energy.Darryl was ecstatic and delighted to see that.Magaera was fighting Emperor Aurelias at the time while scanning the surroundings. He knew the formation was in place when he did not see Darryl.Previously, Magaera and Darryl had agreed that once the formation was in place, Darryl would hide and wait for the right moment to attack.Slam!At tha
Hehe!The so-called Emperor Aurelias was stunned when he heard what Darryl said, but then he smiled and said, "No wonder you are the Royal Master." It is no surprise that Prince Aurin once held you in such high regard. You could immediately tell what was going on. Amazing!"Then, he raised his hands and wiped his face, showing his true identity.It was Magaera.Bloody hell!When Darryl saw Magaera, he was instantly stunned. "How did you come out from the chaotic void?"At that moment, Darryl was genuinely shocked. He correctly guessed that Emperor Aurelias in front of him was an imposter. Many people crossed his mind, but he would never have thought it would be Magaera.What was even more surprising was Magaera's ability to escape the chaotic void.Magaera chuckled lightly. "If you could trap me in the chaotic void so easily, how could I even be a Lord General?"Darryl took a deep breath and gradually calmed down after hearing what Magaera said.The next second, Darryl said,
"I'll see him now at the Imperial Sky Palace."Empress Heidi was about to head to the Imperial Sky Palace, but Magaera stopped her."Your Majesty, do not be reckless," Magaera said with a serious expression. He said, "If you head there now, you are just falling into a trap.""Then…" Empress Heidi's exquisite face was filled with annoyance. She said anxiously, "What should we do now?" She was already at her wit's end in that current situation.Magaera took a deep breath as if he had made a huge decision. "If you want to go up against Emperor Aurelias, you have to get help from someone.""Who?" Empress Heidi asked quickly.Magaera had a look of complexity. He said, "Darryl Darby!"What?"Empress Heidi initially thought that Magaera would mention some Immortal's name. She never expected that he would say Darryl's name. She was instantly baffled. She looked at Magaera in shock. "Darryl Darby? You want to get him to help?"Empress Heidi was very hostile toward Darryl when the two p
Crash!When the surrounding Imperial Sky Palace guards heard the commotion, they rushed over.They were immediately enraged when they saw Magaera in mid-air."It's the Lord General.""What is he doing? Is he challenging His Majesty?"While the palace guards were conversing, a beam of golden light rushed forth from the Imperial Sky Palace, colliding with Magaera in mid-air.A figure draped in a golden dragon robe emitted a powerful aura of command and arrogance. It was Emperor Aurelias."Magaera?" When he saw Magaera, Emperor Aurelias's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I thought you were still stuck in the chaotic void. I didn't think that you would safely return. Not bad."There are now a thousand things to do in the Godly Region. I need just the right man to assist me."Emperor Aurelias thought that Magaera was there to help him.Magaera sneered, not showing him any respect. "Assist? You are not qualified to be the Heaven Emperor. What assistance do you need?" His
Damn it!The powerful energy crushed Dax; he could not even move, let alone dodge the attack. He could only look at Romeo as he approached.Chester was also shocked and furious. "Stop!"However, Romeo ignored him. He increased his speed instead."You—"Circe was terrified when she saw Romeo about to kill Dax. She wished she could have rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. She drew her sword and placed it around her neck in desperation."Fine. If you insist on revenge, I won't want to live anymore too." It pained her to say that.She saw Archfiend Antigonus destroyed with her own eyes. Circe was devastated. She later became a member of the Holy Saint Sect. Initially, she imagined herself growing old alone. She had no idea Romeo, her junior brother, would be Archfiend Antigonus' host body.Before she could even be happy about that, he had gone to seek revenge on Darryl.She knew that revenge would only breed revenge; there would never be an end to it. If he were to kill
