It was the Zanes afterall, with Brandon Zane being the Zane heir. “Hahaha, calm down Jen, of course I believe you! This is some news! I guarantee, once we Zanes have taken out the Khan, I will give you half their wealth!” Brandon exclaimed loudly and proudly. “I can leave the Khan wealth be, but that b*stard Zephyr crossed me, I must make him pay! Worst still is that bloody augment of his! As long as I get that augment, you can do whatever you want with the Khan’s fortune!” Jen said with a smile. “No problem son, together, let’s bring about the Khan’s demise! You can have their augment, but first, do me a favor; sneak into the Khan grounds, and drop this into their water supply,” Brandon replied. A small pouch was taken out, and handed to Jen.“This is a powder made from the blood orchid. Any fighter who ingests it would enter into a berserker rage, killing all within sight! By that point, the Khan would’ve massacred themselves, we needn’t even make a move!” Brandon explained. “Blood
“What’s… how? Why are you here?” Jen nervously shouted, and glanced around him hurriedly. Motte’s anger and regret was unfathomable. He was the one who recommended Jen to Zephyr, Jen was his brother-in-law, yet here he stood, caught in this fiasco. Motte knew if it were not for his recommendation, Jen would never have made it this far. “My lord, this is all my fault! If it weren’t for me, this piece of sh*t would’ve never so easily entered Khan grounds. I take full responsibility and accept all punishment!” Motte said to Zephyr, tears in his eyes. “It’s alright Motte, you’re forgiven. After all, you wouldn’t have known anyway,” Zephyr calmly replied. Zephyr had trailed Jen back to the Khan household, overtook him at the last steps before he patiently waited here. “No, no! This isn’t what it looks like Motte! I… I was forced by the Zanes!” Jen struggled. Regardless of how st*pid he looked right now, he knew that there was no way out of this. “Who knew, instead of a fine warrior, I’ve
“Indeed, the Zanes sure are strong even if they do not have many Agiles. We only know of one, and they’re always locked away, training somewhere. I doubt even the Zanes themselves know where they’re locked away at.“However, we know the Zanes would not dare oppose us head on. Even if they had the Leeds’ protection, the Leeds would find it hard to provide any assistance, being so far away from Starlight and all!”Zephyr reported, shocking the leaders.“With this blow, we will let all of Starlight know that the Khan are not to be crossed! We are no longer the Khan that we used to be!“Besides, it’s time to see if our Khan Riders’ training has paid off!”Zephyr said decisively, his gaze showed of his convictions.…At night, the whole of Starlight was silent. Suddenly, the hefty sounds of neighs from the horses pierced the night sky, followed by the clacking of hooves that trampled on the ground. A wave of energy came rolling by. Under the night sky, only the silhouette of roughl
Zephyr did not hesitate, and he instantly killed all the guards that were present with his Slash.“F*ck! We’re under attack!”“Sound the alarm! To arms men! We’re under attack!”The cries of fearful Zane guards could be heard, rocking the Zane fort.“Hahahaha… take my axe!” Mason heckled, battleaxe in hand. He spun his weapon around and across his Mere, forming the likeness of a great black panther. With the speed of his steed, many were cut down where they stood as he easily made his way through them, with each swift move, it sent spouts of crimson into the sky.Another Rider sent fistfuls of attacks that flew towards the main gates, sending dust and pebbles flying everywhere, decimating the stone doors where they stood. With another flurry, the once great doors got rendered into ash. The aggressor for such an attack was none other than Leo. Although he was a mere Strength of level seven, he had gotten stronger in his training, he managed to fully incorporate Metal into his muscl
Zephyr huffed as his blade shimmered. “Sixth Slash!” he yelled, and channeled all his energy into this attack. Although this technique was common, its looks were highly deceiving, this was because it brought much power, and sharpness. Zephyr sent an immense bloody wave to counter Quincy’s attack.The two powers clashed with a boom, followed quickly by the sounds of something that ripped through the air. With a single strike, Zephyr’s blade had pierced, ripped, and shredded Quincy’s attack. It was obvious this attack was nothing more than an inconvenience to him.Although Quincy was close to being an Agile, a Strength was still a Strength; it would take much more to break through to the next level. “What?” Quincy gasped, unable to fathom how Zephyr had shrugged off his attack. After all, Zephyr was still a Strength of level eight to many others. This was an uncanny discovery, no doubt.Quincy had only thought Zephyr was lucky to have beaten Noah Leed. However, he soon learned he coul
The two energy streams quickly morphed into fists, each carried a thousand pounds worth of strength. Quincy was sure Zephyr could not withstand such a powerful attack.“This boy sure is bold! Is he not just 16 years old? Did he really think he could defeat us?”“Indeed, our lord is a Strength of level nine, one who’s at his peak even! He surely would have no trouble disciplining an unruly brat!”“Hmph, your little adventure has come to an end!”The Zanes clapped and cheered at the imminent demise of the unruly intruders.“Dumb*ss!” Zephyr chuckled at the gleeful look Quincy had. Zephyr raised his head high and yelled loud enough so that everyone could hear.“Enough!”Zephyr had endured much in his previous life. Many lessons and memories had been carried over since, he had many unseen battle scars that had taught about life. Zephyr could contend with true Agiles, he would have no issue facing down a measly Strength of level nine. No matter how strong Quincy was, he could never o
“Great!” Spout cried joyfully, the Khan hall erupted in celebration. A great wave of relief and happiness covered Spout’s face in knowing how powerful the Khan Riders were. After all, it is because of this militia that none in Starlight dared cross the Khan ever again. “My lord, the Khan have benefited greatly from this excursion! It would seem no one would dare oppose us ever again!” Lewis said excitedly to Zephyr.Zephyr was no doubt happy, yet did not heed much of what Lewis had just said. “My lord, I see that you’re happy, but not for the decimation of the Zane I suppose?” Lewis asked, once again at odds having to read Zephyr’s expression. Zephyr was just sixteen, yet had the wisdom and professional discretion of an older man. It was hard for Lewis to tell what truly made Zephyr happy.“You’re right Lewis. I’m not happy for what we did to the Zane, rather, I’m happy for my new toy!” Zephyr replied happily. Earlier, Linus Starr had visited. Apart from visiting Leah, he had given Z
Upon reaching the topic of Ashok Obsidian, the master smith’s expression changed drastically, his volume increased as he explained. “Why don’t you follow me tonight? Meteor metal is too sturdy to be melted by conventional lava. I must forge it with my own energy on top of that volcano!” the master smith said slowly. “No problem!” Zephyr lit up, unable to reject this offer.Nighttime came by fast.Under the escort of the town guards, Zephyr and the master smith made their way to Mount Ashok. They had already felt the intense heat from the base of the volcano, feeling much like they were in an oven. Near Mount Ashok, be it stones or plants, all carried a crimson hue. A possible cause being the intense heat.“You lot can stay here. Assessing your current level, it would be difficult for you to withstand the high temperatures further on up,” the smith said. Upon hearing this, the guards could not help but glance at Zephyr, and wondered if a young man such as himself could be far superio
Zephyr had a strong soul and had reached the peak of the Magic Realm, which was enough to communicate with the Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl and communicate with Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor!Moreover!Not only did Zephyr practice the Ancient Draconic Way, but he was also the successor chosen by his old friend, the Celestial Martial Emperor!This....This was beyond Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor's expectations!Surprise!It was a huge surprise!Pausing for a moment!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor spoke once more, "Right! Due to a special reason, you can just accept my inheritance and there is no need to acknowledge me as your Master! It's fine so long as you're willing to promise me that you won't pass down the inheritance to an outsider!"......Similarly!Not only was the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor pleasantly surprised, but Zephyr himself was also pleasantly surprised after hearing his words.Good heavens!After all, the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was a genuine Creatio
"After millions of years, this strand of will of mine is growing weaker and weaker, and could vanish at any moment!""But it just so happens that among the younger generation of the Thunder Dragon Clan, there are quite a few with extraordinary talent and formidable strength, even though they have the Amethyst Spiritual Liquid to temper their bones! However, their soul realms are still a little lacking, and they're utterly unable to enter the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl and communicate with my thoughts! Thus, there's naturally no way for them to obtain my inherited supreme technique!"'If I keep waiting like this, it'll be hard to say when the juniors of the Thunder Dragon Clan will be qualified to enter the inner world of the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl!'"I'm truly unwilling to accept this, and I'm very afraid as well. They're unable to obtain my lifetime's inheritance before this strand of soul remnant will vanishes completely, and my Thunder Dragon Clan can’t rise once more in
When his strength was strong enough to be fearless of everything!After a moment of silence!Zephyr cupped his fists at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, "Junior Zephyr thanks Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor for lending me this treasure!"The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor nodded slightly, and replied with a hint of majesty in his voice, "Well, you don't have to thank me! Brother Celestial Martial Emperor once did me a favor, and since you are his successor, I naturally have to take care of you!""If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you tried so hard to get this Ten Thunder Thunder Pearl must be because of the Ancient Draconic Way, right?""After all, although this peerless divine art is extraordinarily powerful, the difficulty of breaking through in cultivation can be said to be at the pinnacle of the world!""Without enough treasures and energy, it's almost impossible to improve one's cultivation!""Coincidentally, this Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl of mine comes from beyond th
As for the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, he stood there with a calm expression and looked at Zephyr motionlessly.It seemed that the calm before the storm was about to erupt.The Curse Devil King was even more nervous. He shouted crazily in Zephyr's heart, asking Zephyr to run away as soon as possible.However...Zephyr stood there fearlessly with a calm expression, staring at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Such a scene!It lasted for half a minute!Suddenly!The incomparably serious Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor suddenly raised his head and burst into hearty laughter.Closely behind!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor looked at Zephyr and nodded repeatedly in praise. He praised him in an extremely amazed tone, "Good boy! Good boy! You are indeed worthy of being the successor chosen by the Celestial Martial Emperor. You are indeed courageous and smart!""Kid, to tell you the truth, from the moment you entered the Ten Thousand Lightning Palace, I felt a particularly familiar
Zephyr was shocked. Being watched by such an Emperor at the Creation Realm at such a close distance was really not an easy thing.If it were any other warrior with weak essences, he would probably be scared out of his wits and would not be able to resist the soul-level pressure at all.However...Zephyr has a strong spirit energy, and his state of mind was as firm as a rock.Under the gaze of Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, Zephyr didn't even bat an eyelid. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes. In a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "I really can't imagine anyone else in the entire Thunder Dragon Clan who can compare to you, Senior. You're absolutely peerless and matchless...."Pausing for a moment!Zephyr quickly changed the topic and bowed respectfully again. "Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, it's my first time here, and I don't have any hostility. Please don't blame me for accidentally offending you!"Hearing that!The Ten T
Hearing what the Curse Devil King said, Zephyr sighed helplessly in his heart.There was nothing he could do!There was nothing he could do now!If Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor wanted to attack him and wouldn't give up so easily, then he could only fight with all his might.However...Judging from the intense collision of spirit energy between them earlier, it would appear that the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor had no intention of killing Zephyr.Thinking of this!Zephyr was much more relaxed, but he still did not dare to be careless. He could only raise his head and carefully size up the magnificent Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him.At this moment...The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His face was upright and his long hair was tied behind his back. His bearing was extraordinary. He possessed a mighty aura even without being angry. His eyes were purple in color and gave off a deep ancient feeling...Not simple!
Zephyr was clearly only at the first level of the Will Realm, and his soul force was merely at the ninth level of the Magic Realm. Yet, he was able to fight head-on against an ancient emperor like the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Even if the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was merely a remnant soul and his spirit energy wasn't as strong as it was at its peak, it was enough to prove how monstrous Zephyr was!"Swoosh!"Just as their spirit energy reached its climax and was about to destroy the entire Void...Suddenly!With the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, the soul pressure around Zephyr disappeared in an instant!Closely behind!Wisps of dazzling purple light energy, carrying the Will of the thunder law, quickly shuttled through the void.They looked like lightning dragons that were constantly repairing the shattered space just now.And the whole process was also very fast!In less than half a minute.The cracks in the void caused by the collision between Zeph
Om!As soon as Zephyr finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming at him like a huge dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.The powerful oppressive might contained within that oppressive might caused one's hair to stand on end and soul to tremble.At this moment!The entire void around Zephyr was quickly boiling like boiling water. A powerful pressure enveloped Zephyr one after another, as if the whole world was targeting and ostracizing him.No one had expected this!The purple-robed figure in front of Zephyr did not turn around or say anything. He used his spirit energy to attack Zephyr directly."Hiss...""What a frightening spiritual pressure fluctuation!""This... this is absolutely not just the Magic Realm, it's the Creation Realm!""Even if I run the Chaotic Immortal Scripture and fully activate my spirit energy, or even use all kinds of Increase means, I'm afraid I can't compare with this soul pressure fluctuation at all!"Sensing this fr
A group of Thunder Dragon Clan experts relied on their powerful techniques to gradually restore the surrounding space to its normal state.The surrounding shattered void returned to its original state!"It's done!""Next, let's go back and heal our wounds!""Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"After the group of experts from the Thunder Dragon Clan recovered their shattered space, they didn't delay for long before they flickered and left, and they merged into the surrounding thunderstorms and clouds before vanishing completely...At this moment!Other than strands of violent lightning force, the void around the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead was eerily calm.Everything was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened."Boom!"Whoosh!Suddenly!Just after the experts of the Thunder Dragon Clan disappeared.After an unknown period of time, layer after layer of lightning storm clouds suddenly converged upon the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead, breaking the silence of the surroundings.Vaguel
