Each fist that hit flesh resembled muffled thunder.Each palm strike was delivered with all their might, the momentum like mountains collapsing.As the spectators below watched this scene, they held their breaths and leaned forward, not daring to blink or make a sound....In the white wolf king’s cave in the western foothills of Mount Valdez, Old Hagstorm and Old Ophis arrived and found the bone formation that Andrius had found peculiar that day.This was the entrance to the demon snake’s seal.Over the years, the white wolf king slowly gained a hint of intelligence by absorbing the energy constantly permeating from the demon snake and acquired the strength of a Martial Emperor.“Old Hagstorm...” Old Ophis looked at the sealed entrance with a complicated expression. There was hesitation in excitement and fear in anticipation.He asked again seriously, “Are you sure everything is ready?It was natural for him to hesitate since there would be no turning back.“Yes!” Old Hagsto
However...This cold pool was extremely peculiar. It could only serve as a place for the demon snake to hydrate itself occasionally. It was not a favorable location. That was because the water in the pool would suppress it from recovering from its injuries.The two instinctively believed that the demon snake was not inside.“Could it be...” Old Ophis frowned and said, “Could it be that the beast died over the years due to severe injuries?”“That’s impossible.” Old Hagstorm shook his head and said with great certainty, “Although the old master severely injured the beast to the brink of death back then, he did not harm its essence.“With the tenacious vitality of the demon snake, even if it’s sealed in the Azure Pool which hinders its recovery, it won’t die so easily. That beast must still be alive. It’s simply more cunning now.”Old Ophis thought about it and agreed. However, he was still puzzled. “Then, where did the beast go?”Old Hagstorm did not answer but looked toward the A
The extended snake tongue was like a long whip, about to wrap around Old Hagstorm.“Don’t even think about it, beast!”After several maneuvers, Old Hagstorm managed to slip away. He yelled at Old Ophis, “We can’t continue like this. The beast is too ferocious by the water’s edge. If it attacks again, my old bones will be torn apart by it. Hurry up and think of a way to lead it to Valdez Village.”Old Ophis also knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately responded, “Hold it back for three seconds. Just three seconds is enough! Don’t make me look down on you!”Damn, why did that phrasing sound so strange?Old Hagstorm did not have time to think about it because the demon snake attacked again.Swoosh...Old Ophis took something out of his hand. It was a scale that the old master had pulled from the demon snake after severely injuring it.Hiss!Hissss—Sure enough, the demon snake instantly became enraged and chased after Old Ophis.Old Ophis immediately headed in the
The Insect Ruler...Back in the year, he stirred up storms in Florence and led a million insect masters to Kiyoto, almost establishing his regime and becoming a true legend.Fortunately, he was ultimately eliminated by numerous experts, ending the chaos.However, that incident caused numerous injuries among the experts from the various factions, leading to a fracture in the development of the martial world, thus resulting in the current situation of the martial world.Therefore, the Insect Ruler and his remnants had always been enemies of the martial world. With the exception of a few scheming factions, the rest condemned the Insect Ruler like rats in the streets.If Andrius was one of the Insect Ruler’s remnants, the situation would be extremely unfavorable.“No wonder! Andrius is a remnant of the Insect Ruler. It’s no wonder he attacked the strongest individuals of the various forces.”“The Wolf King is actually a remnant of the Insect Ruler. One really must not judge a book b
Clang!Norvin held the Infernal Blade and blocked Andrius’ attacks again and again.However, after continuous battles, his physical strength, energy, and vitality were all greatly depleted. Coupled with the injuries inflicted by the insects earlier, it seemed like he was running out of strength.Compared to a young man like Andrius, his advantage lay in rich experience, but his physical strength was an absolute disadvantage!Now, facing Andrius’ fierce attacks, Norvin was forced back step by step and soon pushed to the edge of the arena.In another few steps, he would either be stabbed to death by Andrius or thrown into the air by his spear.Either way, he would be defeated and forcibly eliminated from the competition!“Norvin!”Andrius’ momentum was overwhelming, and his attacks were relentless, not giving Norvin a chance to catch his breath. “It’s impossible for the Swallows to become the Alliance Chief. In your next life, learn how to be a decent person!”Swoosh—The next
Finally, after continuous battles and a series of preparations, the Insect Ruler led his elite warriors onto the stage at the most critical moment of the Ancient Martial Assembly!“Who are you?”“How dare you skulk around here? Why don’t you reveal your true identity?”“What rat dares to speak so arrogantly before us? My sword does not discriminate!”“A person who wears a mask and plays tricks is surely a no-name!”...The forebearers and fighters were known as formidable figures for many years and rebuked angrily when they saw the group of black-robed individuals slowly approaching.“You want to know who I am?” The Insect Ruler remained calm and continued to sneer, but his tone suddenly turned colder. “Very well. Since you all want to know who I am, then I’ll let you see clearly!”Swoosh—As soon as he spoke, his mask split open and revealed an elderly face.At that moment, he approached Andrius and stood side by side with him, facing all the Martial Gods on the scene as if
That would still be trampling on the rules of the Ancient Martial Assembly.From then on, the constraints of the Alliance Chief on each family would be meaningless. In that case, even if the Swallow family obtained the title of Alliance Chief, it would be useless.The other families could just pay lip service and not take it seriously.“You’re right.”Duncan gave the Insect Ruler a deep look, then signaled Norvin with his eyes. Then, they left the arena and returned to the area where the Swallow family was.The other forebearers and older generation experts of each family also left the arena angrily.“Now...” The Insect Ruler looked at Maisie and chuckled. “Ms. Orior, is it reasonable for me to battle Andrius Moonshade?”Maisie could not find a reason to refuse, so she said, “You may discuss it among yourselves.”“Heh...” The Insect Ruler smirked triumphantly and looked at Andrius. “Come.”As he spoke, he gave Andrius a look, indicating that the latter should play along and pu
With that, he threw a punch. Powerful inner energy enveloped his fist, and he clashed against Andrius’ Argentum Qilin Spear.Andrius narrowed his eyes and gradually increased the force in his hand.The Insect Ruler looked at him coldly and sneered.Then, the heavy Argentum Qilin Spear that even Wade needed inner energy to barely lift, slowly bent to the point of almost snapping.A fierce burst of inner energy shot back, traveling through the spear and causing Andrius to spit blood from the corner of his mouth. He retreated more than ten steps before finally stabilizing.Swoosh—Just as he stabilized his footing, a powerful wave of energy swept over. It was as if a divine force had descended, making the experts in the audience gasp for breath.It was like a thousand-pound boulder pressing on their chests, suffocating, oppressive, and terrifying.It was the Insect Ruler releasing his own aura.The aura was completely different from a Martial God expert’s. It crushed everyone fro
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!
