“Since you’re so good with words, I suggest you talk while you still can.” Norvin’s face turned sinister, and his eyes exploded with a fierce glint. “Because when I catch you, I’ll knock your teeth out one by one. Then, I’ll slowly interrogate your secrets out of you!”He turned to the First Elder and shouted, “Bring me the sword!”The First Elder immediately tossed a long sword to him.Swoosh—Norvin skillfully caught the sword and unexpectedly gently wiped it clean.“This sword is called the ‘Infernal Blade’. It’s a precious heirloom of the Swallow family!” Norvin cleaned it while speaking in a confident and proud tone, “I’ve roamed the ancient martial world for many years, but I’ve only used it twice.“The first time was when I had the strength of a late-stage Martial King. I used the Infernal Blade to escape alive from a Martial Emperor.“The second time was when I was a mid-stage Martial Emperor. I used the ultimate skill of the Swallow family, the Sparrow’s Thirteen Blades
“Yearnings of the past lie in memories, but yearnings of the present are boundless. The first blade: the thoughts of longing!”“Endless time comes to an end, but this regret endures forevermore. The second blade: the pain of separation!”...Norvin wielded the sword while reciting the blade’s key principles. His voice was clear and precise, and his actions were swift and sharp.In just ten seconds, seven astonishing sword energies enveloped Andrius from various angles. The sword energy surged like a wave, rapidly approaching. Killing intent howled in the biting cold wind.“This kind of sword energy...”“Even if Andrius has reached the realm of Martial God, there’s no doubt he’ll lose.”“It’s all over.”“End it here!”...Such thoughts emerged in the Swallow family experts’ heads. They had full confidence in their family head.Whirr...Andrius had just broken through to the Martial God realm and had not cultivated the corresponding technique yet, so he had to rely on his inn
“Attack!”The Swallow family’s experts shouted in unison and prepared to attack.Registus’ face was nearly bursting with rage as he reprimanded, “Norvin Swallow! Are you really going to go back on your word in front of everyone in Florence? Do you not care about the Swallow family’s reputation?”“Reputation?” Norvin said disdainfully, “When the Swallows become the number one in the world, who would dare say that we lack reputation? Hahaha...”Norvin imagined the Swallows being revered and worshipped by thousands and could not help but laugh arrogantly.The experts from the Swallow family joined in.“Enough.” Norvin’s face suddenly turned sinister as he ordered, “All members of the Swallow family, take Andrius down.”“Attack!”The experts immediately gathered their inner energy and prepared to capture Andrius.Swoosh...Whoosh...Swish...Suddenly, powerful auras surged from all directions. Over a dozen figures rushed out from the surrounding mountains. It was the four elder
This time, even Novin could not remain calm.He glanced around with a gloomy expression, his icy gaze fixed on Damian, Ronald, and Tyrell. Then, he said in a low voice, “Are you three truly intending to turn against the Swallow family just to protect Andrius?”The three exchanged glances, and Tyrell said, “Norvin, we have no intention of fighting the Swallows. We’re only here today for self-preservation!“Now that the time for the Ancient Martial Assembly has been set, it’s not appropriate for you to act against Andrius. You should put aside all grudges and conflicts before the assembly.“When the day of the Ancient Martial Assembly arrives, the moment that the Ancient Martial Alliance Chief is elected will be the time to settle all grudges.“On that day, we won’t object no matter how you act against Andrius.”Tyrell and the others were well aware that the Swallow family’s strength would undoubtedly increase if Andrius fell into the hands of Norvin. At that time, according to Nor
“How did your strength increase so rapidly in such a short period and attract Norvin’s attention?”They all knew that Norvin would not act preemptively without reason. Today, he mobilized all his forces to capture Andrius, indicating that something was going on.Andrius stared at them and said slowly, “Today is the day we’re paying respects to my master. If you’ve come here with sincere intentions to pay your respects, then I welcome you here. However, if you have other motives, then please leave now.”After saying that, the aura of a Martial God surged out from within him, feeling vast like an ocean and majestic like a mountain.The three family heads exchanged glances and smiled. “You’re overthinking, Andrius. All three of our families received invitations and specifically came here to pay respects to Old Hagstorm.”Invitations?Andrius frowned and looked back at Registus who also seemed confused and shook his head to indicate that he did not send the invitations.Andrius was
Andrius’ expression shifted slightly. “Why do you say that?”“Do you remember when Ms. Crestfall mentioned going to the ladies?” Kate asked, then said, “She didn’t want to go immediately, but after that, a maid bumped into her and handed her a note. She only said she needed to use the ladies after reading the contents of the note.”Andrius frowned. He was walking ahead with Registus at that time and had not noticed.Kate continued, “After that, I found the maid and pressed her for the truth. She revealed that she was acting on someone’s instructions when she handed the note to Luna. That means Luna was lying when she talked about the masked person.”Andrius fell silent.Kate should not be lying. After all, he could easily go back and question the maid personally.In that case, that meant Luna was lying.“But...” Andrius was confused. “Why would Luna do this?”Kate voiced a bold theory. “I have a feeling that your master isn’t dead and that he was the one who asked the maid to s
“Sure.” Andrius agreed and said, “I’ll tell Luna and Halle first.”Then, he informed Luna and Halle about the plan and followed the Medicine Sect back to Mount Cura.“Andrius, normally, the Medicine Sect’s ultimate technique is not passed down to outsiders.” Wade said solemnly, “However, considering the turbulent state of the ancient martial world, even the Medicine Sect can’t be sure to stay unscathed.“Thus, I’m willing to make an exception and pass our ultimate technique on to you. I hope that you can take the position of Alliance Chief and restore order to the ancient martial world.”Wade knew that he was no match for Norvin, so he placed all his hopes on Andrius. That was why he was willing to pass on the techniques.“Of course.” Andrius nodded solemnly. “I wish for nothing else but to bring peace to Florence and let the grievances of the Klein family rest.”“Good. That’s all I needed to hear.” Wade said, “What I’m going to pass down to you is called ‘Burden of Nine Skies’.
The Martial Saint realm!Andrius could not help but be shocked.Norvin, who was at the early stage of Martial God, had already made waves in the ancient martial world.If this late-stage Martial God appeared, it would likely send tremors throughout the ancient martial world! It was truly astonishing that the Medicine Sect had such a formidable presence.Andrius suddenly remembered that Registus’ bodyguard, Dennis, once told him that the ultimate realm in the martial world was a Martial Saint.However, what was beyond the Martial Saint realm? The path of cultivation seemed boundless.Andrius believed that the Martial Saint realm was not the ultimate goal of cultivation.Andrius asked curiously, “Kate, do you know what exists beyond the Martial Saint realm?”Kate was caught off guard by the question.“Well...” She paused and shook her head. “I don’t know either. I asked Grandpa about it before, but he cautioned me not to aim too high and to focus on taking one step at a time.”
Noir immediately checked the life token.It was unbroken!This meant that Andrius was still alive, and he must have ascended to the Divine Realm.Noir was relieved.Remembering his responsibility to protect Luna, he exchanged a glance with Halle, Kate, and the others before quietly leaving.Not long after, a group arrived at the Immortal Demon Palace and began their cultivation, striving to ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible.In an ancient and desolate location, there were grand halls, statues of fierce beasts that still seemed lifelike despite the passage of time, sky-piercing pillars, and a sea of clouds...Everything looked majestic and awe-inspiring.However, it was eerily silent, like a dead land devoid of life.Until...Whoosh!A ray of light suddenly shot from the distance, moving at an unimaginable speed and entering the soul control orb at the center of the great hall.Then, a soul apparition started to form.It was none other than Andrius.He looked
Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li
If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of
Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem. If Andrius perished in the Divine Realm, as the owner of the Immortal Demon P
It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the
Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some
The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai
“Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident. Could Andrius have really become a great power in the Immortal Realm?While they were still in doubt...“It’s him!”The disciples immed
“It’s not a shame. As long as we awaken the true dragon’s soul, we can get any woman we want in the future.”“But it’s hard to find one that’s as beautiful and graceful...”The disciples drooled and spoke lewdly, but their actions were swift. They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
