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
The situation in Florence’s ancient martial world and even the whole world...What was that supposed to mean?Rufus was puzzled and asked, “What did you say, Master?”Adeptus Cirrus snapped out of his senses and looked at him with a mysterious smile. “I said she won’t die, so you don’t need to worry.”Rufus could not help but scratch his head. That was clearly not what his master had said...In the capital of Flandom, night fell, and the crescent moon rose.Thud, thud, thud...“Andy, bad news!”Andrius was still in seclusion but was startled by Noir’s urgent knocking on the door.Bad news?He jumped up and opened the door, asking, “Calm down and tell me what happened, Noir.”“Andy...” Noir gulped and said anxiously, “You told me to bring Her Majesty and Katalina over when they got back, right?“It’s dark now, but they still haven’t returned. I tried to call, but there was no response, so I mobilized all the Lycantroops to search all the nearby churches, but I couldn’t find
“Wolf King, Captain Black.”The Arctic Fox seemed to notice the two’s suspicions and explained, “The Sauro Church is usually only open during the day because that’s when people usually come to pray. Once the sun sets, a curfew is imposed, prohibiting anyone from approaching.”The Arctic Fox pointed to a notice on the wall as he spoke.Andrius and Noir looked over. There were many languages on the notice explaining the curfew.After reading it, Andrius could not help but sneer, “Aren’t churches supposed to be dignified and brightly lit places that uphold justice and purify all evil? Why does this church give off an eerie feeling, as if it has something to hide?”In the face of Andrius’ disdain, the Arctic Fox laughed and explained, “Wolf King, you may not know, but there’s a legend in Obaro.“It’s said that there is a group of people here who, due to being contaminated by the blood of the progenitor, gradually evolved into undead vampires.”Vampires?Andrius and Noir exchanged a
Night gradually fell.There was pin-drop silence within the church’s vicinity, making it eerie and silent.Whoosh...Suddenly, something seemed to fly across the sky, flapping its wings.Under the tranquil moonlight, a group of bats appeared, decorating the entire church as a sinister and terrifying place.Inside the room, Noir frowned and lowered his voice. “There’s movement!”Andrius looked at the two and said slowly, “You two pretend to be asleep here. Snore as loud as you can to lower their guard.”Noir hurriedly asked, “What about you, Andy?”Andrius glanced outside and narrowed his eyes. “I’ll infiltrate and see what’s really going on in this church!”Seeing Noir’s hesitant look, Andrius added, “Don’t worry, I won’t alert them. If something crops up, then you can come to support.”Noir and the Arctic Fox nodded.Then, the two lay on their beds and gradually entered dreamland.Andrius observed outside the window for a moment, ensuring there was nothing going on, and le
The church that had over a hundred million followers was actually colluding with vampires... How ironic was that!Tap...Tap...Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance.Andrius immediately hid in the darkness.It was the nun who had received them earlier.The nun did not notice Andrius and headed straight to the door. After knocking and getting permission, she entered and closed the door.“Father, the trio from earlier have settled down. I listened from outside for a while. They’ve all fallen asleep and are snoring heavily. How should we deal with them? Please guide us, Father!”Sure enough, the woman had sinister intentions.Andrius could not help but snort softly.“It’s good that they’re asleep.” The priest wiped away the fresh blood on his lips, now radiant, and narrowed his eyes. “His Holiness needs the purest royal blood from the most noble families of Flandom for cultivation.“There must be no mistakes at this critical moment. As long as His Holiness’ technique
Swoosh—The priest’s movements were astonishingly fast.In just a flash, he was already in front of Andrius. His large hand swung down on Andrius’ head, trying to strike him dead on the spot.Boom!Andrius intended the test the priest’s strength and also struck with his palm.The different forces collided.Andrius’ figure swayed and retreated two to three steps back, already figuring out the priest’s strength. He was around a mid-stage Martial Emperor.The priest also took several steps back and looked at Andrius in surprise. It was clear that he did not expect Andrius to have similar strength to his.“Hmph...” The priest immediately snorted coldly and attacked again. “Regardless of who you are, since you’ve decided to act out in the Sauro Church, you won’t be able to leave today!”As he spoke, his figure had already approached within a meter of Andrius.Andrius was slightly taken aback and gathered inner energy in both hands to slam the priest’s chest.However, the priest’s
Seeing this, the priest was alarmed and immediately tried to escape through the window.However, Andrius did not give him the chance to.Swoosh...With a leap, he flipped twice in the air and landed firmly in front of the priest, blocking his only way out.Although the priest was fast, the injuries from Andrius’ blood had severely weakened him, and his speed could not be compared to before.“Trying to run?” Andrius turned and smiled sarcastically. “Don’t you know it’s rude to dine and dash? In Florence, dogs that bite people need to be put down!”With the last word, Andrius swung his fist toward the priest.Bam!The priest barely managed to block it and was forcefully pushed back by the punch.However, before he could hit the wall behind him, Andrius grabbed his arm and slammed him to the ground.“I told you I’d pull out your teeth, so I’ll pull every one of them out. Not even your God can save you today!”Then, he pried open the priest’s mouth and grabbed a long, sharp fang
Taken away!Andrius was instantly furious. “If anything happens to them, you won’t live either!”Then, he grabbed the priest’s neck.At that critical moment, the priest’s soul almost left his body. He struggled and begged for mercy. “No! Don’t kill me! I still have something to say!”Andrius eased his grip slightly, his face cold. “Remember, you only have one chance to speak. If what you say doesn’t satisfy me, then you shall die!”A chilling murderous intent accompanied the icy words.Even a mid-stage Martial Emperor like the priest could not help but lose control of his bladder, wetting his pants.“The church members haven’t gone far. I know their route!” The priest did not dare to hide anything. “As long as you follow the route and chase them overnight, you should be able to catch up!”Hearing this, Andrius eased his grip a bit more.“There are three commonly used routes from the capital to the church’s headquarters. They took the southernmost one, departing from the south
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!
