Vivian’s face was sorrowful. She closed her eyes, and tears slid down her cheeks silently, falling to the ground with silent drips.“Father...”Seeing Andrius and Kelvin’s shocked gazes, Vivian choked up and explained, “When I was small, every time he had to go out on a mission... I would cry and make a scene, wanting him to stay.“Every time, my father would comfort me like this, patting my head… He did it every time...”Vivian’s tone grew softer, and her face increasingly sad.At that moment, the First War God’s actions became even gentler.Andrius and Kelvin were both amazed, completely shaken by what they saw.Swoosh...Kelvin suddenly had an idea and approached the First War God.The First War God did not notice, his eyes fixed on Vivian as he mechanically repeated the same action.Kelvin relaxed and began examining the First War God.Then, he was shocked. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he muttered to himself. “This... This is impossible! How could this be?” “
Andrius frowned and asked, “What happened?”Dax took a deep breath and quickly said, “Just a moment ago, the squad escorting Brandon was unexpectedly attacked.“The opponent’s martial strength was formidable. They came prepared. They took the whole squad as hostage.“Although I’ve dispatched a large army to surround them, they’re using the lives of the soldiers as a threat, so I don’t dare to act recklessly. The army was forced to retreat and can’t get too close.“Furthermore, Brandon specifically named you and wants you to go alone in exchange for the hostages.“If anyone else approaches, then they’ll kill the hostages. What do you think?”Dax looked at Andrius as if seeking his opinion.It seemed another complication cropped up. These people were quite audacious, daring to take soldiers from the Southern Warzone hostage.Andrius’ expression instantly turned cold, and he said in a low voice, “Lead the way. I’ll go meet them now and see who they are.”Brandon said that he was
“Don’t rush.”Brandon grinned and gestured to one of his men.The subordinate immediately went to check inside the helicopter, ensuring there was enough fuel and inspecting for any sabotage.Not long after, he returned.He nodded at Brandon.Brandon smirked in triumph. “It seems you’re quite sensible and didn’t pull any tricks on the helicopter. In that case, I’ll cut to the chase. There’s one last condition.”At that point, a cold glint flashed in Brandon’s eyes. “Andrius Moonshade, I can release all these soldiers, but you must become my hostage. Once we leave Florence airspace, I’ll naturally let you go.”Brandon was indeed clever.If they left so brazenly as a group like this, Dax could order a missile strike and annihilate them.However, it was different with Andrius. Dax would surely hesitate and not dare to use missiles, fearing the consequences.Andrius’ expression flickered with coldness at the cunning plan, and he said calmly, “I can be your hostage, but I need to i
However, this was southern Florence where the temperature often reached over thirty degrees Celsius. Why would he feel a chill?Brandon felt puzzled.Thus, he glanced at Andrius and snorted in displeasure, “Wolf King, hurry up and stop dallying. Have you finished explaining everything?”Andrius did not speak and walked straight forward.“That’s more like it!” Brandon became arrogant again. Then, he took a pair of handcuffs from one of the mercenaries and snapped them onto Andrius, saying, “Don’t try playing any tricks. These cuffs are made of high-purity refined iron. Even a full-grown male elephant won’t be able to break free.”Andrius tested it out silently. Then, he nodded at the detained soldiers and said, “Can you release them now?”“Don’t worry, with a big catch like you, I’m not interested in those small fry!” Brandon replied and then said to the mercenaries, “Release the trash. They’re worthless trash. Let’s go!”Then, the mercenaries slowly released the soldiers, and th
Rumble!Boom!...The next moment, all the helicopters were destroyed by the impressive firepower, exploding in mid-air and creating a dazzling yet tragic display of fireworks.Debris emitted black smoke and fell continuously.As for the mercenaries inside...Naturally, there was no chance of survival for any of them.Boom!Andrius and Brandon fell faster and faster.Andrius gathered his inner energy and repeatedly struck the ground, using the rebounding force to slow their descent.Finally, their speed decreased.Brandon fell to the ground, and Andrius landed steadily.Rustle...Swoosh...Clack, clack...The soldiers immediately rushed over, aiming their guns at Brandon and capturing him once again.“Ugh... Bleurgh...”Brandon’s face was pale as he vomited heavily, unable to slip away this time.“Brandon Orwell.” Andrius looked at him and said coldly, “You can’t escape. Don’t try any futile struggles. It’s meaningless. Tell me the whereabouts of the masked men who to
The group followed the direction Brandon mentioned and soon arrived at a small mountain.On the mountainside sat a small wooden house. Although it was well hidden, it could not escape Andrius’ sharp eyes.Thus, the group immediately climbed the mountain in the direction of the wooden house.After a while, the house stood clearly in front of them.Creak—Andrius walked forward and pushed open the somewhat aged door.Bzz...Swoosh...Whoosh, whoosh...As soon as the door opened, a swarm of insects flew out. Some were malevolent and bloody, and others were as fast as meteors. The insects approached fiercely as if they intended to engulf Andrius on the spot.“Hmph! So it’s you causing trouble!” Andrius snorted coldly and immediately used his insect technique to summon numerous insects.The next moment, the insects on both sides engaged in battle.Due to Andrius needing to conserve his strength and being unable to use inner energy, the insects he summoned were only of average st
The moment Luna heard Andrius’ voice, her mind cleared, and she instantly began to recite the mantra.Hum...As she murmured to herself, a radiant light shimmered on the Sanguis Blade.Luna’s entire demeanor gradually calmed down, returning to her usual state with less killing intent.Prick!Andrius took out a silver needle and pierced it into Luna’s temple, helping her clear her mind.With the dual effect, Luna gradually returned to normal.“Hubby, I...” Luna recalled the scene just now and could not help but break into a cold sweat.She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, saying apologetically, “I couldn’t control myself because of the aura from the Sanguis Blade...”Andrius sighed with distress. He looked at Luna and comforted her. “It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself.”However, although that was what he said, he felt more urgent.Although the Sanguis Blade and the demon snake’s power was balanced for now, it was like two time bombs attached
Andrius’ heart chilled.With experimental bases for insect soldiers scattered within a range of ten to fifteen kilometers, at that density, the Southern Warzone likely housed a terrifying number of such bases.“Dax...”At that thought, Andrius instructed, “Take these three back and start a three-hundred-kilometer radius search toward the areas bordering Murrfield.“Seal off any bases discovered without needing to report it. If anyone dares to resist, then execute them on the spot!“Also, the leaders of these bases should preferably be captured alive. See if you can follow the trail and find the mastermind behind this.”From Brandon’s reaction, it was clear that the mastermind behind these bases must be someone with extensive connections, allowing them to disregard even the Wolf King.“Got it.” Dax replied, “I’ll get right on it.”For the next few days, the soldiers of the Southern Warzone began a thorough search.Soon, the once highly secretive insect soldier experimental base
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!
