Andrius’ eyes immediately lit up.“However...” Maxwell’s expression was solemn. “This is of great importance. You must help me thwart Arthur’s plot before I can tell you its origin.”“Okay!” Andrius agreed readily. “It’s a deal!”He already harbored a deep hatred for Arthur. He came to Petalonia this time to find Arthur’s whereabouts and ultimately retrieve the Kleins’ pendants that fell into his hands.At this moment, Arthur had also come to Petalonia. It was like presenting himself on a silver platter.Why not take advantage of it?“Lord Sterling...” After reaching an agreement, Andrius said, “Arthur is a cunning old fox with many tricks up his sleeve. It won’t be easy to deal with him. From what I understand, since he intends to kill you, he must have made a series of plans.“Right now, Petalonia’s palace has become his palace. We must plan carefully if we want to deal with him. Do you have any ideas?”Maxwell looked in the direction of the palace, his gaze growing distant.
They finally arrived at the foot of Warrior Mountain.It was already packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder. It was clear how grand the event was.Furthermore, every single person was dressed like a warrior. Some exuded majestic auras like mountains, some were deep and unfathomable like the abyss, some kept a low profile, and some were arrogant.They formed a magnificent scene on Warrior Mountain.Andrius did not pay too much attention to those warriors. With his current strength, very few could be his match.His gaze was drawn to a large screen in the front.On the screen were names displayed in neat rows. Behind each name was a corresponding number, which seemed to be rankings.Andrius asked curiously, “Lord Sterling, what ranking is that?”To avoid being recognized, Maxwell had already put on a mask and altered his voice before setting off. He glanced at it and said solemnly, “It’s the Petal Ranking.”The Petal Ranking?What was that?Just as the thought flashed
“The Soul of the Warrior?”That did not sound like a person’s name.“That’s right.” Maxwell explained, “Legend has it that before Petalonia was established, the land we were in was in chaos. Beasts and disasters were rampant, and the people suffered...“At that time, Petalonia was not Petalonia yet. The people living here were in great pain. They could not fill their stomachs or dress warmly. They had no tomorrow and could not see the future.“It was a very dark era until a martial expert suddenly appeared out of nowhere and descended upon this land. With his mysterious medical skills and great strength, he exterminated powerful beasts and suppressed rampant diseases.“He brought hope to this land with the power of martial arts. From then on, the people on this land began to live a normal life. However, from that time on, he disappeared. No matter how people searched, they could not find any traces of him. It was as if he had never appeared.“Later, various disasters occurred in
His main opponent was none other than Nathan.After understanding everything, the group found a place to sit down and quietly waited for the start of the Martial Way Convention.Thud!Thud!...After a while, a heavy bell rang from the platform, resonating in the hearts of everyone present and drawing their attention.The emperor had arrived!The emperor’s gaze swept across the audience, saying solemnly, “Ladies and gentlemen, in the name of the emperor, I shall preside over the Martial Way Convention! The rules are the same as in previous years. It will be conducted in the form of duels, and whoever can stand until the end will be the final winner.“Furthermore, the final winner of the convention will not only receive an audience with the forebearer but also share a mysterious map with him.”As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately boiled over.“Glory and might!”“Glory and might!”...It was clear that everyone was very excited and full of enthusiasm.Andrius as
“Shit! Florencian brat, there’s a price to pay for your words!”“Fuck off back to Florence!”“I’ll teach you a lesson!”“Get him!”The experts once again united under Andrius’ provocation.The next moment, countless experts attacked Andrius from all four directions. Each of them was an outstanding warrior. Their inner energies converged, releasing powerful pressure.Although they had not reached Andrius yet, his clothes fluttered in the wind!Even the ground under his feet cracked completely. Their power was evident.A moment later, they all came within a meter of Andrius.Some were cold like snakes, some were fierce like tigers, some were filled with killing intent, and some were sinister. They only had one purpose—to kill Andrius and restore the honor of Petalonia’s warriors.“Heh... Do you think numbers will change the outcome?” Andrius sneered and suddenly raised both hands.Rumble…Destructive inner energy burst from him, erupting toward the surroundings.Swoosh, swoo
However, it was not enough.Andrius narrowed his eyes and stared straight at the man, saying indifferently, “Are you the third-ranked in Petalonia, known as the number one after the forebearer, Nathan Carter?”“Indeed!” Nathan responded arrogantly, “Florencian, since you’ve heard of my name, why do you dare to act so recklessly? Aren’t you afraid I’ll suppress you in a fit of anger?”Andrius instantly laughed.It was indeed Nathan!“Since you’re so confident, I’d like to thoroughly experience it.” Andrius’ lips curled into a smile, exuding dominance. “I’ll give you three chances. As long as you can make me take three steps back within three moves, then my life is yours.”At those words, before Nathan could speak, the already furious experts could no longer contain themselves.“Arrogance!”“Florencian, you’ll pay a heavy price for your hubris!”“Florencian, do you really think you’re invincible?”“Lord Carter, teach him a lesson!”“Lord Carter...”The crowd was worked up and
“Tsk, tsk, tsk... That Florencian isn’t that incredible. Was he scared by Lord Carter?”“That’s true. If Lord Carter wanted, he could kill him with just one move. Why bother with weapons?”“Indeed. That’s the spirit of the martial way of Petalonia. It’s something Florencians will never understand!”“That Florencian is too pathetic!”The experts and Petalonia nobles in the audience shook their heads and laughed.The Petalonia Martial Way Convention had been held for many years. It was their first time seeing someone as useless as Andrius.In reality, Andrius was just thinking.In the past, his spear technique was the strongest. The Burden of Nine Skies and the Linebreaker Overlord had extremely powerful killing power and combat effectiveness.However, after going to hell, his strongest form became the Demon Lord form stimulated by demonic energy, as well as catastrophic techniques like the Doom Cannon. The spear had long become unnecessary. It was just a constraint.According t
“T-that’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!”“That kid is so young. How can he be so powerful?”“Lord Carter actually fell into a disadvantage in this fight. Is this a joke?”...The experts and dignitaries below were all dumbfounded.This scene was simply unbelievable!After all, Nathan was the third-strongest expert in Petalonia. He was number one in Petalonia after the forebearer and the unseen Soul of the Warrior!How could this happen?“Phew...” Nathan exhaled a breath, feeling the occasional scorching sensation in his body. His expression was unusually solemn.Andrius struck him from the front with that palm strike and infused extreme inner heat energy into him, making him quite uncomfortable. Only then did Nathan realize his young Florencian opponent was actually incredibly powerful.“The seventh Divine Step...” Nathan narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within. “If it were anywhere else, your strength would indeed be enough for you to be proud and arrogant.“
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!
