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
Any force in the ancient marital world was already something ordinary people could not resist.If they united...Florence, which had just stabilized, would be thrown into chaos again.That was Registus’ concern.Andrius was stunned upon hearing this. He frowned and said, “But I received information from the Medicine Sect that everything is normal in the ancient martial realm, and all the major forces are quiet...”“That’s just how it seems on the surface!” Registus said in a low voice, “A few days ago, when I instructed a newly appointed minister to integrate Florence’s economy, he found some clues.“The groups and enterprises affiliated with ancient martial organizations are converging into some new companies in a way that deviates from market rules.“That’s enough to indicate that the ancient martial organizations behind them are taking action.”Registus was not the emperor for show. From subtle aspects, he could discover actions that influence the overall situation.At thos
“When you went to Flandom, the master of the Shrouded Gate killed Duncan Swallow, who had a grudge against you.“Now that you’re back, they’re targeting ancient martial forces… This creates an illusion that the Shrouded Gate is manipulated by you behind the scenes.“Although such framing is not fatal, it’ll make everyone suspect you and pin the blame on you. They’ll likely unite and challenge you together.”Those words were like a sudden awakening, making Andrius vigilant.Yes, if the Shrouded Gate had no ill intentions, Andrius would have the strength to fight against the collaboration of the ancient martial forces.After all, there was the Medicine Sect, the Lycan Manor, and the Dragon Manor. Andrius’ own forces were powerful enough.However, if this was part of the Shrouded Gate’s scheme, then that would be troublesome.The seemingly advantageous events pushed him to the other side of everyone else, creating a chasm that could swallow everything!“I understand. I’ll be caref
Luna saw him start to get suspicious again and could not help but panic.Thus, she quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything by it, hubby. It’s just that I’ve been reading a lot at home recently, so I might have different thoughts about some things.”Andrius nodded and did not dwell on it. He knew that since Luna was possessed by the demon snake’s power and obtained the Sanguis Blade, her temperament had been constantly influenced. That was why Old Ophis taught her the mantra.These thoughts were likely the result of cultivating the mantra and gaining insights from reading books.Now that she could see things from both sides, it indicated that the mantra was taking effect. It was a good thing.At that thought, Andrius felt more relieved.“Luna, I’m going to the Lycantroops encampment to make some arrangements. Can you go back to Sumeria first?” Andrius stopped and asked Luna at a crossroads.He planned to inspect the situation with the Lycan Manor and have Noir, the Black Hawk,
After Marcellus left, Luna looked up at the sky which was clear blue with the occasional cloud.“I don’t care what plans and conspiracies you have,” Luna muttered to herself, her killing intent soaring to the heavens. “If you dare to lay on my husband, then you’re my enemy! If you dare to hurt him, I’ll exterminate your entire faction!“I hope you won’t force me into a killing spree!”Rumble—Thunder rumbled faintly in the clear sky, giving an unreal feeling.At the Lycantroops’ base, Noir brought a large group of people to Andrius with a smug expression.“Andy, all the members of the Lycan Manor are gathered.”“Not bad, not bad.” Andrius looked over the people and could not help but nod in approval. They were all lively and spirited.During this period of development, the martial realm experts in the Lycan Manor had exceeded a hundred. They were in no way inferior to many ancient martial families. Among them were even some majestic auras that surprised Andrius.“Everyone, sta
Andrius continued, “Remember to report to Noir and register whatever techniques or moves you want. I’ll arrange for him to negotiate with the Medicine Sect periodically.“In any case, I’ll do my best to provide you with the best resources. How far you can go will depend on your efforts.”The experts were filled with excitement. “We won’t disappoint the Wolf King’s expectations!”“Mm...” Andrius nodded and dismissed them. “Go back and cultivate. I’ll get Noir to notify you if there are any tasks.”Then, Andrius called Harpy.After breaking through to the martial realm, the Black Hawk devoted himself to cultivation and left everything related to intelligence to Harpy to take over.“Harpy, I have a mission for you.” Andrius said seriously, “This mission is a high priority. I need you to find the descendants of a mysterious family.“About a hundred years ago, a person called the Flame Emperor appeared among the ancestors of this mysterious family. He was a master surpassing the ordi
“Let’s go!”With Andrius’ words, the duo immediately headed behind the mountain.A group of people rushed toward them. It was Tobias and several other elders who had detected the commotion as well.“Maiden!”“Maiden!”...Before Wade went into seclusion, he entrusted everything in the Medicine Sect to Kate. Therefore, Tobias looked at Kate, waiting for her orders.“Let’s go!”Without another word, Kate led the group to the mountain.Not long after that, Andrius, Kate, and the others arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. They could feel a majestic and massive inner energy.“It’s the aura of a Martial Saint...” Andrius had a lot of experience fighting against Martial Saints and was able to tell quickly.“Martial Saint!”“Hiss— did the Sect Master break through?”“The Medicine Sect has a Martial Saint as well now.”“That’s great...”Tobias and the other elders and disciples were ecstatic.Kate explained to Andrius, “This is where Grandpa went into seclusion. He mus
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!
