The Swallow family was in deep distress.Norvin arrived at the memorial hall and said, “Everyone, leave. I want to talk to the forebearer.”“Yes.”After everyone left, Norvin and his most trusted aide replaced Duncan’s real body with one that resembled him, then moved the real corpse into the secret room.Then, he dismissed the aide.“I’m sorry, forebearer.” Norvin knelt in front of the corpse and bowed his head, then continued, “With my current strength, it’s hard enough to protect the Swallow family, let alone seek revenge.“Thus, I have to use the method the Insect Ruler told me. Absorbing your inner energy will allow me to break through to the Martial Saint realm and the Divine Steps.“Don’t worry. After I absorb your inner energy, I’ll definitely annihilate the Shrouded Gate and erase the humiliation of today!”Then, Norvin took out a bottle and poured out a strange-looking insect into Duncan’s mouth.Soon, Duncan’s body showed signs of swelling, and inner energy gathered
Huh?The Shrouded Gate’s Master was also participating in Flandom’s competition on Praxis Island?The Shrouded Gate had just risen, and their foundation in Florence was not yet stable. They should not have much connection with Flandom.Why would the master of the Shrouded Gate travel all the way to Flandom to participate in the competition to elect Flandom’s king?What was the connection in all of this?Andrius could not understand it at all.Considering the current strength displayed by the Shrouded Gate’s master, the chances of him achieving the final victory were very slim.Furthermore, since the Shrouded Gate was already involved, could there be other similar forces or individuals also getting involved?The whole situation was becoming increasingly confusing and unclear.Andrius had a strong feeling that the master of the Shrouded Gate had ulterior motives. As for what those motives were and in what form they would unfold, he had no way of knowing. He thought about it but
Andrius did not expect to encounter the master of the Shrouded Gate so soon.“You’re the master of the Shrouded Gate?”Considering that this person killed the Florence ministers collaborating with the Insect Ruler and then effortlessly killed Duncan, Andrius felt that this person should not be his enemy. Thus, he took the initiative to greet the person.“I didn’t expect to meet a fellow Florencian in a foreign land like this. What a coincidence. If we meet on the stage, then please be merciful,” Andrius spoke with ease.In any case, it was better to leave a good impression to open up more possibilities in the future.“Mm.”Seeing Andrius, of whom she had been thinking day and night, right in front of her but unable to reveal her identity, Luna could only change her voice and respond indifferently, suppressing the surging longing in her heart.“The Wolf King’s strength is known far and wide. You’re already a pillar of Florence, so you should have confidence in your own strength.
Andrius shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He arrived at the venue along with Noir.“Show your strength,” the staff did not even look up as he coldly instructed Andrius after he submitted their team registration card.Thus, Andrius casually revealed his strength as a Martial Emperor.“That’s enough.”The staff issued the qualification for the main competition and signaled him to leave.Then, Andrius and Noir returned to the villa.Encountering the two individuals made Andrius feel a sense of urgency, so he began to cultivate in seclusion upon returning.The day passed uneventfully....Night fell.On an island near Praxis was a lit cabin. Outsiders believed that it was a working base arranged by the organizers.In reality, Lloyd, Alexander, Richard, and three unfamiliar faces were all inside this small cabin now.The three individuals were experts dispatched by their families to form a team with Alexander to participate in the competition.Lloyd was meditating w
Alexander was worried that he would ruin the plan, which was why he emphasized it.After all, any deviation at this critical moment could lead to a butterfly effect, causing the final outcome to go in an uncontrollable direction.That was not what Alexander hoped to see.While they were discussing heatedly, just outside the small cabin, under a large tree several meters away, Luna was hiding in the shadows, imperceptible to ordinary people.With her Martial Saint strength, she could hear what they were saying clearly.The Sauro Church and the Insect Ruler...They were planning to take action against Andrius!Hearing this information, Luna’s expression suddenly changed, her anger surging.Boom!The invisible killing intent instantly caused a visible change. In an instant, it spread across the entire area as if a fierce ride was about to rise.“Hm?”Lloyd, who had been meditating inside the cabin, suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out of the window, heading straight for the
“If they’re hostile to Andrius, we can join forces to handle them. However, getting rid of them will come at a considerable cost.“By then, it would be difficult for us to deal with other top experts from the Obaro continent. I can sense that the three Demon-level old guys on Obaro’s hero ranking are lurking.”Old Hagstorm had a similar idea and sighed. “I hope that the mysterious master of the Shrouded Gate won’t be our enemy.”Otherwise, things would become very troublesome.In the villa area, Luna returned to the Shrouded Gate residence.“Master...” Marcellus immediately approached and asked, “How was the situation?”A chill emanated from Luna’s beautiful face, and her voice was icy cold. “The organizers really do have ill intentions. They’ve conspired with the Insect Ruler and intend to ascend to the throne.“Alexander even colluded with the Pontiff of Sauro Church. Both of them will take action against my husband during the competition and try to openly eliminate him.”In
“I don’t care whether they’re Demon-level or Dog-level...” Luna snorted coldly. “As long as they dare to harm a single hair on my husband’s head, they’re destined to die. Not even their god can save them!”The brilliant killing intent bloomed and disappeared in an instant.Marcellus could not help but be shocked, then went to inform the Shrouded Gate experts.The night passed uneventfully.The next day, the competition started as scheduled.Andrius and his group were already prepared. They left the villa and were about to head out.The organizers had already prepared ferries shuttling between the mainland and Praxis Island. As long as they had the qualification to participate, they could board for free. Each ferry could accommodate several hundred people.After Andrius and his group boarded, he closed his eyes to rest.Unexpectedly, another group of people sat down near their team. The leader was a large and tanned man who appeared quite rugged. He wore a careless smile on his
“Oh, I...”Devin tried to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, more blood gushed out. No matter how he tried to cover his neck, he inevitably fell down.At that moment, the last trace of fear finally appeared in his still-open eyes. He had been killed in a single blow, unable to react at all.Everyone could not help but look in shock at the person who just arrived.They wore a ghost-faced mask. It was none other than the master of the Shrouded Gate!‘Such formidable strength!’ Andrius could not help but exclaim inwardly when he saw this scene.The person’s attack was so fast that even he could not see their figure clearly. It was evident that their strength must have reached the level of Martial Saint.He did not see Luna putting away the Sanguis Blade in time, or he would have been able to discern her true identity.The people around were also stunned.“That’s it?”After killing Devin, Luna placed one foot on his corpse and looked contemptuously at the Obaro ex
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!
