Andrius merely smiled.Sergius consulted the doctors from the Royal Hospital to discuss the feasibility of this challenge and finally agreed.“Since both parties are willing, we’ll proceed with the rules you suggested. However, I hope both of you will maintain a sense of honor and not let things get out of hand,” Sergius gave a solemn reminder to both participants before the match began.Jared said, “Rest assured, Director. I’ll hold back during the critical moment.”Then, he and Andrius entered a room specially cleared for the competition.Many doctors chose to stay and watch. They wanted to see Andrius being defeated by a local doctor.“Watch closely, boy.” Jared took out a silver needle which was curved slightly, and said mysteriously, “This needle is called the ‘hunter’s needle’. It’s made using mystical metal, and there’s a total of thirty-six of them.“Over the decade, I’ve used these needles to save people and root out evil. These needles do not break or bend. Be careful!
“Please follow me. I’ll take you to meet the princess,” Sergius spoke to Andrius.Andrius calmly left the competition venue.The other doctors immediately made way for him. Their faces were completely red.In the royal palace, Andrius arrived outside Anna’s chambers under Sergius’ guidance.“Your Highness, today’s winning physician is from Florence, Dr. Providence,” Sergius reported respectfully.“Come in.”A familiar voice commanded from inside. It was none other than Princess Yule, Anna Faulker. However, she did not sound like she was suffering from any illness.“Please go in.” Sergius gestured for Andrius to enter.Andrius nodded and entered calmly.Anna’s complexion appeared as usual. She did not look sick at all.Throughout this trip, Andrius had been wearing a mask since he boarded the plane, so Anna did not recognize him.“Your Highness.” Andrius adjusted his vocal cords and asked, “Where are you feeling uncomfortable?”“I...” Anna’s beautiful eyes fixed on Andrius,
“Your Highness, everyone makes mistakes. Even the Wolf King, if not vigilant at times, might fall victim to a situation that could temporarily affect his bodily functions. Not conceiving is normal.”Although Andrius explained it very clearly, Anna was still skeptical. “How are you so sure? What if...”“There’s no ‘if’.”Since she still did not believe him, he stopped changing his voice and pulled down his mask.When Anna saw the face she had been longing for, a myriad of emotions flashed in her beautiful eyes. She went from being shocked, to happy, and then to bashful. Blushing petals bloomed on her cheeks, making her look incredibly enchanting.“W-Wolf King...” Anna stammered shyly, not daring to look at him. “Y-you mustn’t jump to conclusions. I... I did this for my own health, s-so...”Andrius was speechless.There was no need for him to jump to conclusions when she had already confessed to everything.There was nothing Andrius could do in situations like these. He was too e
“Wolf King!” Laurent was extremely excited. “It’s been several months since we met. Have you been well?”“I’ve been doing fine.” After exchanging a few pleasantries, Andrius got straight to the point. “Your Majesty, I’ve come to Bardan because I need your assistance.”Then, Andrius told them the purpose of his visit.“No problem!” Laurent immediately thumped his chest and said, “Please wait a moment, Wolf King. I’ll choose three hundred brave soldiers to accompany you to the western foothills of Mount Valdez.”“No need for three hundred.” Andrius said with some embarrassment, “Fifty elite soldiers will suffice.”Three hundred soldiers would be too conspicuous. Mount Valdez was exceptionally mystical. It was very easy to become lost in it without a guide. Even a martial realm expert would be in danger.Andrius would not have come to Bardan if not for that reason.“Very well.”Laurent immediately made the arrangements.A moment later, he returned with fifty Bardan soldiers, each
“With the Wolf King’s prestige, those wolf pups won’t dare to provoke us recklessly!” The captain of the soldiers was the first to support Andrius’ command.“Exactly!”“Those snow wolves aren’t worth fearing!”“Koby, just lead the way. We’ll take care of the rest!”“The Wolf King is in a hurry. Let’s go!”The soldiers were already excited and filled with energy due to the arrival of the Wolf King, which made them more enthusiastic than usual. Furthermore, they did not want to let Andrius underestimate Bardan, so they eagerly set off.“Very well!” Koby gritted his teeth, but his many years of experience in Valdez made him cautious. “Everyone, stick together and take care of each other. Also, stay on high alert and don’t ignore any signs of danger.”With that, Koby took a steel rod and led the way for Andrius.On a mountain peak not far away, two figures stood motionlessly, appearing as if they were pine trees on the peak. They were none other than Old Hagstorm and the Insect Rul
At those words, the Insect Ruler could not help but sneer.On the other side, the climate on Mount Valdez was indeed unusual. At some point, snowflakes the size of goose feathers had begun to fall.Andrius and his group continued their journey through the snow.However, with the Wolf King leading them, the morale of the Bardan soldiers remained high, and they were not affected by the weather.“Mount Valdez truly is the foremost among mountains. It’s the peak of all gods.” The captain of the soldiers, Lewis Finch, brushed the snow off his body as he walked, sighing, “Since ancient times, no one has been able to conquer this legendary mountain, but it’s not without reason.”Andrius smiled and asked, “If no one can conquer it, why do they still choose to come and go on this sacred mountain?”Through casual conversation along the way, Andrius learned that the dozens of soldiers who accompanied him were not only the elite of Bardan but also frequently ventured into Mount Valdez to car
Swoosh!Click!Whoosh!The soldiers’ expressions were grim, but there was no panic. They immediately raised their weapons and scanned their surroundings vigilantly.Rustle...Swoosh, swoosh...Sounds came from all directions.Then, bright green eyes appeared in their sights. They were the eyes of the snow wolves, shining with a cold, bloodthirsty light.“Here they come!” Lewis remained calm and ordered, “Everyone, form a circle and defend from the inside out. You’re each responsible for your directions.“As soon as the wolves enter the effective shooting range, kill them with one shot. Don’t give them any chance to breach our formation.”The snow wolves of Mount Valdez were known for their large size and their fierce and brutal nature. If they broke through the formation, it would be a bloody disaster.It was Andrius’ first time seeing these fearsome wolves.These wolves... were as tall as a person’s shoulders!Their sharp fangs and robust limbs made them exceptional preda
The soldiers were furious.Andrius had already rushed out, leaving only his distant voice.“You all stay here and defend yourselves. I’ll go save him. Be careful!”With that, Andrius chased after the white wolf.The white wolf king was swift as the wind. On the rugged and slippery mountainside, it traveled ten meters in the blink of an eye. Even though Andrius sprinted with all his might, he was unable to catch up with the wolf.However, he did not give up.The white wolf king ran while Andrius pursued.The two soon arrived at a cliff.Without hesitation, the white wolf King leaped into the air and easily landed on the other side of the cliff. Then, it turned to look back at Andrius, It placed its right front paw on the unconscious Lewis’s throat as if taunting and provoking Andrius.Andrius’ eyes flashed with anger, and he was just about to rush forward.Awoo—Awoo—Just then, he heard howls from behind. The victorious tone was unmistakable.Andrius instantly paled. He ha
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!
