It seemed to have sensed something and no longer remained calm.Luna’s expression changed.What exactly was inside the pool that actually caused both the demon snake and the Sanguis Blade to become restless?“Elder, I can feel that there’s an extraordinary presence under the pool.” Luna continued to stare at the surface of the pool and asked, “What exactly is inside Tartarus? Is the method to treat me that you mentioned also in there?”Adeptus Cirrus looked at the water with a complex gaze. He sighed softly and walked up to stand side by side with Luna, saying gently, “According to legends, there is a daemon inside Tartarus.“The daemon possesses supreme power and unparalleled medical skills. If a person enters and gains the daemon’s recognition, they can be easily cured regardless of their illness. If the daemon is pleased, there’s even a possibility of receiving blessings.“However, if one fails to gain the daemon’s recognition, they will be treated as a sacrificial offering. T
Splash...The next moment, a large snake head suddenly appeared in front of Luna, opening its huge mouth and biting toward her head. It seemed eager to devour her in one gulp.Even in the water, Luna could feel the strong and pungent smell of blood coming toward her.Splash...The beast was swift, but Luna was much more powerful than before. With a casual swing of her legs, she gracefully leaped away and avoided any harm.After a few meters, she turned around and saw the snake clearly.It was an exceptionally fierce creature.The snake’s head was flat like an iron, forming a triangular shape. Drool kept dripping from the corners of its mouth, spreading in the water and turning it into a dark green color. It was clear that it was a lethal toxin.In terms of overall shape, it was very similar to the demon snake from before, except its head was much smaller. It was about a tenth to an eighth of the demon snake’s size.Hiss...The lesser demon snake was furious that its attack wa
Luna could only retreat while fighting.Splash...Suddenly, a huge force swept toward her, unparalleled and overwhelming, and sucked her into a passage!Surrounded by numerous demon snakes, she was caught off guard and sucked into the vortex.Splash...Splash...The lesser demon snakes watched from a distance, not daring to approach.Then, they all left. The area was calm again.Luna did not understand what happened.“Ugh...”When she woke up, she found herself lying in a cave. There was nothing else here but ice and snow. The ground and walls of the cave were covered with ice crystals, and stalactites were seen hanging from the top.It was exquisite and crystal clear, yet puzzling.“Hiss—”Before Luna could think about it, she felt the bone-chilling cold which caused her to shiver involuntarily. She had to channel her inner energy to resist the cold.Rattle...Rattle...Just then, there was a crisp sound of iron chains behind her.Luna instinctively turned to look. Th
The seemingly soft hands possessed unimaginable strength and effortlessly caught Luna’s invincible and unstoppable Sanguis Blade.The strike only left a shallow mark on the surface.On the contrary, Luna was struck by the lamia’s force and blasted more than ten steps away, each step creating deep craters on the icy surface.However, the lamia did not give Luna a chance to recover. Just as Luna was retreating, the lamia suddenly soared into the air, drawing an astonishing arc like an acrobat, and landed in front of Luna.With a single move, she grabbed Luna’s fair and slender neck.Clang...Luna tried to use the Sanguis Blade to cut off the lamia’s arm.However, the lamia only smiled faintly. Fast as lightning, her other hand easily knocked the blade from Luna’s grip, letting it fall to the ground.Now, Luna completely lost her chance to resist.“U-Ugh...”As the lamia’s right hand continued to increase its strength, the deadly sensation of suffocation overwhelmed Luna, almost
She had a feeling that the lamia was about to reveal something groundbreaking!The lamia looked at Luna’s eager eyes and smiled. “What is your name, girl?”“My name is Luna Crestfall.”“Luna... That’s a good name. I’ll call you Luna.” The lamia nodded and began to tell, “Luna, the origin of the Lamiai clan is from a hidden history many years ago.”At those words, Luna could not help but straighten up.A long, long time ago, there was an unparalleled Martial Saint who had been stuck at the ninth Divine Step for many years. She wanted to comprehend the final mystery and break through the constraints of the Martial Saint realm to enter a brand new world.“However, the breakthrough was too difficult, and she was unsuccessful for many years. As the end approached, she suddenly had a groundbreaking idea.“While humans are the most intelligent among all creatures, their lifespan is comparatively short, often not exceeding a hundred or few hundred years, unlike other species.“Thus, sh
Trancendents!Demons!Fiends!Luna could not help but widen her eyes and suck in a cold breath, her mind completely shaken.Traversing the heavens and earth, and omnipotence...That was no longer just a realm but a leap in the hierarchy of life!“However, the transcendent, demonic, and fiend realms possess unimaginable power. How can ordinary people easily touch them? It’s as hard as climbing to the sky!”The lamia waited for Luna to digest the information and then continued, but this time, her tone was much lower. It carried a sense of sadness and desolation.“After the ups and downs of the Lamiai clan, my predecessors finally reached the ninth Divine Step and eagerly attempted to overcome the heavenly tribulation. However, they all failed.“No one succeeded, and no one survived.”There was a hint of reminiscence in the lamia’s eyes, and within that reminiscence was boundless fear and sorrow. “It was a transcendent power that could shatter everything, leaving behind nothing
“Yes, Master!” Luna answered readily.Then, she knelt in front of the lamia and paid her respects as a disciple.“Good. Good!” Seeing this, the lamia’s clear eyes seemed to glisten, and she used her inner energy to lift Luna up. “Good, my disciple!”The lamia’s expression became serious, and she instructed, “I’ll show you the unique technique. You must try to remember as much as possible. Watch and listen carefully. Feel with your heart and don’t be neglectful.”She spoke seriously, and Luna responded, “Yes, Master.”The lamia nodded.Then, she began demonstrating the unique technique of the Lamiai clan. It was sometimes ghostly like a monster, sometimes furious like thunder, sometimes vast enough to cover the sky, and sometimes more continuous than the spring rain in March...Luna watched with fascination, deeply immersed and unable to extricate herself.“Done...”After an unknown amount of time, the lamia stopped, looking exhausted.Luna was still immersed in the demonstrat
What her hands felt was coldness.The lamia’s body had already gone stiff, and her tender and smooth skin had become withered and shriveled due to the loss of inner energy...Many scales had also fallen off starting from her chest.Martial realm experts relied on pure inner energy to sustain their lives at the final stage of cultivation. If they lost their inner energy, it signified the end of their lives.The moment that the lamia prepared to pass on her inner energy to Luna, she had already accepted the inevitability of her death.“Master!” Luna let out a mournful cry, kneeling in front of the lamia.“Master, you passed on your unique skill and your inner energy to me, but you left so soon before you had the chance to see me display what I learned...”Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes as she bowed her head and muttered to herself, “Rest assured, Master. I’ll carry forward the Lamiai clan’s unique technique. I won’t let you down!”After paying her respects, Luna began to examine
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!
