The news spread like wildfire in Kiyoto.Ryan was a grand scholar of Florence with great power and influence. However, he was assassinated in broad daylight in his own residence...The news caused Kiyoto to go into an uproar.Not long after, the ministers who heard the news rushed to Ryan’s residence. The place was already secured by personnel, so the ministers asked them about the details.“Who did this? Are there any leads?”“When exactly did this happen?”“Is there a preliminary conclusion on the motive? Was it revenge or something else?”“Mr. Salas...”The ministers bombarded the personnel with questions, making the atmosphere seem like a marketplace.The personnel were cautious in the presence of these high-ranking officials and did not dare to tarry.The leader of the group responded, “Sirs, the initial examination of the body by forensics reveals that Mr. Salas was killed with a uniquely shaped dagger. The time of death was approximately three hours ago.“As for the m
Registus frowned. He did not understand.Andrius already confided his plan to him. Why the sudden change? Was he worried that Registus would not support him?Or... was this not Andrius’ doing?However, who else could it be?Registus was deeply troubled.After contemplating for a while, he instructed, “Go and keep an eye on this matter covertly. Report any new developments or suspicious findings immediately.”“Yes, sir.”The men immediately heeded their orders....In the Swallows’ residence, Norvin sat high above in the main seat. Below him, the hall was already filled with people. They were representatives from various forces who had heard the news.After a series of discussions, they unanimously believed that Andrius had orchestrated Ryan’s death to target the martial forces. Thus, the focus of the discussion shifted to how they would respond.“Master Norvin, Ryan was a grand scholar, but he was killed tragically in his own residence. There must be an explanation for this
The next moment, her slender fingers clamped around the opponent’s neck like a vice.Luna sensed something off.The person’s neck was fair and slender and did not seem like a man’s.Then, a familiar face appeared before her eyes.It was Halle!She saw on the news that Andrius had gone to Flandom, but Luna did not follow him or go to the Royal Gardens, so she came over to Dream’s Waterfront instead. She happened to overhear their conversation and sensed some fluctuations, then she was captured by the significantly strengthened Luna.Luna snorted coldly and slowly released her grip.“Huff, huff...” Halle gasped for breath, taking a while to recover. She looked at Luna in bewilderment. “Luna, are you behind the Shrouded Gate?“You’re the one who killed Ryan Salas?” Halle stared at Luna in shock.“Yes!” Luna admitted bluntly without hiding anything.“Y-you...” Halle’s eyes flickered, and she asked, “Don’t you already have the Dragon Manor? Why did you make a new force, and why di
Andrius smiled casually and said, “Don’t think about that for now. Hurry up and find two high-ranking generals with similar body types and appearances to you and me and have them disguise as us.”“Huh?”Noir was slightly stunned. He did not know the true purpose of Andrius’ trip and asked curiously, “Andy, since it’s a military exchange, why not visit Flandom with your true appearance?”“Military exchange...” Andrius laughed and said truthfully, “That’s just a smokescreen. That’s not my real purpose in coming to Flandom.”Noir was struck by a realization.That was true. A military exchange of this scale occurred every year.Andrius personally visited the first three years he established the Lycantroops, but after that, he gradually handed over this task to Noir or other high-ranking officers in the Lycantroops.Andrius continued, “I came to Flandom because my master found clues about the rare medicinal herbs that can heal me.”Noir was awed by the revelation and immediately fou
The Wolf King!Even in the faraway Flandom, he remained a renowned presence.Upon hearing those two words, a hint of jealousy flashed across Richard’s face. He glanced at the plane in the sky, snorted, and said indifferently, “Father, it’s said that the Wolf King of Florence is the whip of god.“As a descendant of Flandom, I won’t let anyone act wilfully in Flandom!“Today, I brought the ‘Knights of Death’ to meet this grand Wolf King and showcase the glory of Florence. We’ll show the Wolf King that we’re not to be trifled with!”In the end, it was Richard’s vanity at play. He wanted to test his strength against Andrius and demonstrate his own power.“Oh, you...” Alexander glanced at him indulgently and said in exasperation, “Show some restraint later. Don’t actually stir up trouble.”As the only five-star general in Flandom, he knew many secrets. The Wolf King was able to stand out in the ancient and mysterious nation of Florence, so he must be a heroic figure, absolutely not t
“You flatter me, Your Majesty.” The ‘Wolf King’ smiled politely and said humbly, “It’s widely known that the vast and rich land of Florence is home to countless young heroes. I just happened to be born in the right era. I would not call myself a hero of any sorts.”He acted very appropriately as a high-ranking officer of the Lycantroops.However, those words only provoked Richard further.Thus, Richard suddenly stepped forward to everyone’s surprise, and said with feigned politeness, “Wolf King, excessive modesty is unchivalrous. The Wolf King is known to be unparalleled. I, Richard, would like to ask if you would grant me the honor of a duel?”To Richard, the ‘Wolf King’ was nothing much.There were many important figures of Flandom here, as well as many people from Florence. There were also some official media reporters present. It was a good opportunity to teach the Wolf King a lesson.Margerina did not speak.Alexander’s expression seemed to indicate that he knew that this w
As he spoke, he looked at Noir, who was disguised as a guard.Noir immediately understood and stepped forward, saying loudly. “Please give me your orders!”“Good, good, good!” Richard was so angry that his expression almost turned black, and he said ‘good’ three times in a row. His eyes stared at Noir like a fierce beast. “Then, I’ll test you. However, there’s a saying in Florence: a fist does not have eyes. You’d better be careful!”His words meant to say that even if he beat the guard to death or crippled him, it would be entirely the fault of Noir’s lack of strength. It had nothing to do with him.Richard was about to explode with anger. He had already fantasized about tormenting Noir to death, so he spoke up to mentally prepare Noir.“Heh...”Noir grinned and did not respond. Under the sunlight, his white teeth sparkled with brilliance.Swoosh...Whoosh...The two immediately took their stances.Richard stood five meters away from Noir, constantly moving back and forth an
He was the captain of the Knights of Death.Today, he made such a big fool of himself in public, inevitably becoming the laughingstock and shame of Flandom.This shame would only be washed away if he killed Noir!“Enough.” Alexander frowned and snorted, “The Lycantroops have been undefeated for many years. Their strength is very powerful. The two who stepped out earlier are also unpredictable in strength. Don’t underestimate them.“Our family’s grand plan has been in the works for many years. It cannot be ruined by a trivial matter.”Their family’s grand plan!Richard’s expression improved slightly upon hearing those words. However, he still said unwillingly, “They’re just two guards. How could they affect our family’s grand plan?”Alexander glanced at him, then looked at Andrius and the others who were about to go out of sight, and said, “I hope they won’t interfere with our plan.”Then, Alexander left with a heavy heart.Moore Manor was the oldest, most luxurious, and most m
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!
