Old Hagstorm said in a low voice, “The vampire clan of the Sauro Church has been almost completely wiped out. Only a few stragglers are left. They can’t stir up any waves anymore.”The Sauro Church was completely wiped out!The unease in Andrius’ heart intensified, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “Who did it?”“The Insect Ruler!” Old Hagstorm uttered the name and then fell silent.The Sauro Church was one of the top forces on the Obaro continent.However, the Insect Ruler wiped out all their experts and turned them all into insect soldiers under his command.In other words, although they won the battle on Praxis Island, the Insect Ruler did not lose!At those thoughts, Andrius’ expression became extremely serious.Martial Saint realm insect soldiers...They were unquestionably killing weapons!Coupled with the large number of Martial God, Martial Emperor, and Martial King insect soldiers made, the Insect Ruler undoubtedly bolstered his forces on this trip to Obaro!“I estima
The demon emperor...He was a peerless powerhouse from a thousand years ago who transcended the martial realm. That meant he was invincible in the current era!If the Insect Ruler resurrected him, the consequences would be unimaginable.“No!”After pondering for a moment, Andrius said to Old Hagstorm, “Master, the Insect Ruler’s ambitions are too great. We should return to Florence soon and stop his plot.”The only method he could think of to stop the Insect Ruler was to learn the technique depicted on the mural and reach the legendary realm.Old Hagstorm nodded. “Do what you need to do.”After leaving Praxis Island, Andrius returned to the capital of Flandom and met Noir and the others at the palace.During this period, Noir had been helping Katalina stabilize the turbulent situation in Flandom.As for Margerina...She was already weakened and lost too much blood, so she passed away shortly after pulling out the King’s Scepter.“Wolf King!”“Andy!”Noir and Katalina were
“Noir?”Andrius looked at him in surprise and then glanced behind him, finding it empty.It was clear that Noir came alone.Thus, he smiled and asked, “Why are you here? Aren’t you spending more time with your queen?”“Hehe...” Noir scratched his head and said honestly, “Stop teasing me, Andy.“I told you, dead or alive, I belong to the Lycantroops. There’s an upheaval in Florence, and the Insect Ruler has been plotting for many years. Once he acts, it’ll surely sweep across Florence. How can I linger in a foreign land for the sake of my feelings for a woman?”The statement was eloquent and flawless.Andrius jokingly teased, “So, are you willing to leave behind your beautiful queen? I was thinking that I’d be able to hold a Noir Jr. the next time I come!”At those words, Noir blushed uncharacteristically.“Andy...”He glared at Andrius and said, “I’ve already made an agreement with Katalina. I’ll come back for her once the situation in Florence stabilizes.”They were not par
On the contrary, the Insect Ruler gained a lot this time.The mysterious demon emperor was also a major variable. Andrius did not believe that the Insect Ruler wanted to resurrect the demon emperor for no reason.He had a feeling that the demon emperor was an opportunity. It was a world-changing opportunity.Of course, those were problems for later.What confused Andrius the most was the sudden appearance and departure of the master of the Shrouded Gate.She arrived in Flandom in a grandiose manner, unlike him, who strove to achieve the final victory in Praxis to help Katalina ascend to the throne.It was also unlike the Insect Ruler, who stirred up disputes and caused slaughter just to obtain bodies to ultimately expand his own strength.What was her goal?Andrius could not figure it out and asked, “Noir, did Lycan Manor or the Hawkeye Group find any information regarding the Shrouded Gate?”Noir’s eyes also flashed in confusion at the mention of Shrouded Gate. “No. Since the
Andrius also felt that this possibility was very likely.The only thing that did not make sense was how she was so powerful.Furthermore, if she really was someone close to him, then who could she be?Kate?Halle?Luna?If they had the strength, they would definitely come to help him, so they had the highest possibility of being the master of the Shrouded Gate.“Who could it be..?” Andrius narrowed his eyes, already making up his mind. “I’ll find out when I get back!”The journey passed in silence.It was already early the next morning when the plane arrived at Kiyoto.“Noir, go report the situation of the military exchange to all the relevant departments.“Then, handle the affairs for all the members of the Arctic Fox Mercenary Corps. Those with demerits will be punished, and those with merits will be rewarded. Get them to contribute on the front lines. Everything should be done according to the standards of the Lycantroops.”“Yes!” Noir immediately responded.“Thank you,
“I don’t know if it’s because they were cowed or if they’re harboring some conspiracy. The entire martial world has also quieted down with no one emerging. It’s eerily calm.”Andrius also felt it.As Kate said, the ancient martial world in Florence seemed strangely peaceful.“Kate...” Andrius sighed and said seriously, “I’m afraid that there’s a surging undercurrent under the calm surface. I hope the Medicine Sect will help keep an eye out. Be sure to inform me immediately if anything happens.”Kate nodded with a smile. “I will.”After leaving the Medicine Sect, Andrius went straight to Sumeria.As soon as he left, Kate immediately called Luna. “Luna, Andrius just came to me and subtly probed about the identity of Shrouded Gate’s Master. He didn’t say anything directly, but he definitely has some suspicions. Be careful.”“Got it,” Luna answered and hung up the phone, then immediately called Halle. “Halle, my husband is starting to suspect my identity. Do you have any ideas to
It pierced her?It really pierced her!Andrius, who was dressed in a black robe and a mask, immediately panicked.“Luna, a-are you okay?”He took off his mask in a panic, and a tide of self-blame and shame surged up like a flood when he saw the wound on her fair arm.“Hubby?” Luna’s eyes flashed with surprise. She patted her chest with lingering fear and asked, “You scared me. I thought that...”She could have won an Emmy Award with those acting skills!“I...” Andrius did not expect things to turn out like this and quickly apologized. “Luna, I’m sorry. I wanted to test your inner energy, so I attacked you.”Andrius grabbed Luna’s slender arm and began to carefully bandage the wound for her.Although Luna knew that he was lying, she still felt warm inside.As for this little pain...It was nothing at all.“Hubby...” Luna was much more relieved after getting past the crisis, and she said, “I feel that I’ll be able to break through to the Martial Emperor realm soon.“I’ll be
Andrius smiled wryly. “Things are never that simple. The master of the Shrouded Gate’s power is so formidable that even my Master says he’s no match for her. Moreover, in the match on Praxis, she single-handedly suppressed the Insect Ruler and dragonslayer knight when they were working together.“People like her are cunning like foxes. She appears to have helped me twice, but I can’t tell if she has a deeper agenda.“If I make use of her strength, if she has any ill intentions or has been scheming all along, then I’d be walking into a trap.”Hearing him complicate things, Luna instinctively wanted to defend herself, so she blurted, “That won’t happen, hubby. The master of the Shrouded Gate will never harm you.”Never?Andrius looked at Luna absentmindedly and asked in confusion, “Why are you so sure?”Only then did Luna realize she had spoken too much.Thus, she quickly explained, “Women’s intuition. If she wanted to harm you, she would’ve worked together with the Insect Ruler a
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!
