This was where the forebearer of Petalonia was.It was also Andrius’ target!Therefore, he observed the layout of the palace, its defenses, and the location of some of its hidden secrets...Andrius noted them all down for the future. Perhaps it would be helpful if anything happened.Soon, his soul energy spread all the way to a majestic mountain. It was said that the forebearer of Petalonia went into seclusion here.Swoosh!Suddenly, a similar soul energy emerged from inside. That soul energy was very powerful and strange.The moment it appeared, it rushed toward Andrius’ soul energy.“Hm?” Andrius frowned and easily avoided it. His current soul energy was powerful, so such an attack posed no threat to him.“Y-you...”The soul energy was extremely surprised when it saw Andrius dodging. After taking a closer look, it said in Florencian, “You’re from Florence? What are your intentions in coming to the forbidden area of Petalonia’s imperial palace?”Andrius looked at the old so
That was because Andrius’s soul power was too strong. It far surpassed Maxwell’s.Neither side backed down.After separating, they soon rushed back and clashed again.Relying on his rich experience in soul manipulation, Maxwell used various methods and techniques to try to take down Andrius.Andrius was not afraid at all. With his peak soul energy, even if he occasionally suffered a small loss, it was not a problem at all.Instead, he used this forebearer as a mentor for his first demonstration of soul energy.For a while, the two figures intertwined continuously and separated again and again.Each collision stirred up mysterious fluctuations.After a few minutes, the two had clashed no less than a hundred times.However, Andrius could not defeat Maxwell, and Maxwell could not take Andrius down. They were evenly matched.Of course, for Andrius, this battle gave him a preliminary understanding of the basic usage of soul energy, which was quite rewarding.“It seems you can’t s
He had been stuck at the ninth Divine Step for fifty years.In those fifty years, Maxwell had been single-mindedly devoted to cultivation.However, fifty years had passed, but Maxwell had no clue how to break through. He was like a headless fly.The Scroll of Enchantment in front of him was the greatest treasure.Perhaps... he could use this to open the path of immortal cultivation and enter a brand-new world.“Allister...” Maxwell held the Scroll of Enchantment, unwilling to let it go. He looked at Zerin and said sincerely, “At such a critical moment, you actually obtained such a treasure... It’s truly a blessing for Petalonia and me.“I hope that you can give me the Scroll of Enchantment. In the name of the forebearer of Petalonia, I swear that I will grant you great benefits.“If you want money, power, or women... Even the position of the next emperor of Petalonia... I can give it all to you.“Furthermore, I can also promise that as long as I’m alive, I’ll protect the Allist
Then, he held the sword that Maxwell gave him and sat on the side, pretending to stand guard.Seeing this, Maxwell opened the Scroll of Enchantment in front of Zerin and began to cultivate following the secret techniques described on it.However, after just three minutes, Maxwell frowned deeply, his eyes full of confusion.“Something’s wrong! Why is this cultivation method... Pfft—”Before he could finish, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. The inner energy in his body ran rampant, causing serious internal injuries.“Wha-... Why is this happening?”“Forebearer, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...” With a look of regret and panic, Zerin immediately took out a pill and handed it to Maxwell. “Forebearer, this is an ancestral pill of the Allisters. It’s effective in calming blood and energy.”Maxwell was in urgent need and did not have time to think much, so he took it and swallowed it.“Phew...”Then, he took a long breath and sat down to adjust himself.However, the next second—“Ugh!” M
However, even though Zerin did everything perfectly and estimated Maxwell’s strength enough, he still underestimated Maxwell’s madness.Bam!Maxwell struck a palm out. In an instant, powerful inner energy filled the air, rushing toward Zerin and easily forcing him back, causing him to cough up blood.“Zerin Allister.” Maxwell stared at the latter firmly, his eyes filled with endless coldness. “I don’t know why you want to attack me, but since you failed, you’ll die!”At those words, this peak expert at the ninth Divine Step erupted with his most powerful inner energy. It pressed down on Zerin like a scorching wave until he could not breathe.The pressure alone was overwhelming!It was just like when Zerin faced Arthur before. There was no room for resistance at all.However, this time was different.Zerin stared at him fearlessly, sneering, “Maxwell, do you think that I’m working alone?”Maxwell’s heart suddenly sank.Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, two people
Swoosh!Maxwell knew his physical condition could not withstand a drawn-out battle, so he immediately attacked Zerin, the weakest among the three.“You traitor! Since you betrayed me, then die!”As he spoke, his vast inner energy transformed into a blue dragon, roaring as it lunged at Zerin.It was a move from the ninth Divine Step! Zerin’s expression changed drastically as he immediately gathered his inner energy to defend himself.Bam!Unexpectedly, the next moment, a mighty palm struck down and countered Maxwell’s attack.It was none other than Arthur.Swoosh!Boom!Whoosh!...The four engaged in a fierce battle in the small secret chamber.Each clash unleashed raging inner energy, and each collision resounded with a thunderous boom.Maxwell’s reputation as the forebearer of Petalonia was well-deserved. Even though he was severely injured, he held his ground against the fierce assaults of the three.However, as he was injured, he was no match for them in a prolonged
Maxwell rushed into a small forest when he fled from the palace. He clearly remembered that the powerful soul energy he encountered earlier came from this direction.At this point, he could only seek help from that mysterious and unfathomable young genius to see if the situation could be reversed.Soon, a building appeared in his sight. It was Springbloom Hotel, where Andrius, Clarissa, and the others stayed.‘Perhaps I can go inside and ask around for clues.’With that thought, Maxwell headed inside.“Freeze!”Just as he approached, a stunningly beautiful woman intercepted him. It was none other than Clarissa.Clarissa sensed Maxwell’s fluctuating aura and immediately regarded him as an enemy.“Get out of my way, or I won’t be polite!” Maxwell was not in the mood to mess around with Clarissa and shouted sternly.Clarissa had a bad temper, so she spat and then launched the first attack. “Die!”Noir and the Turtle Sage also joined in.However, although Maxwell was severely in
Furthermore, he had injuries from various techniques. It could be said that of all the injuries an expert might encounter, all of them could be found on Maxwell’s body at this moment.Andrius could not help but gasp.How did Maxwell manage to survive and find him?Swoosh!Swish, swish, swish!There was no time to think.Andrius took out silver needles and quickly pierced various acupoints all over Maxwell’s body. The needles were neatly arranged, dazzling in the light.He first helped Maxwell protect his heart, then stabilized his vitality, suppressed the spread of the poison, and finally began to treat his injuries.Minute by minute passed.Half an hour later, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on Andrius’ forehead.After using various methods, Andrius sighed heavily. “Phew… Lord Sterling, your injuries are too severe. Forgive me for my inability. I was only able to stabilize the deadly poison in your body and prevent it from spreading. However, it’ll only extend your
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!
