They could not breathe smoothly. It was as if their lives hung by a thread.At that moment, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense. Any hint of disturbance could lead to a major battle with rivers of blood.Faced with Andrius at that moment, even the emperor felt fear and retreated.“Fine!” In the end, he conceded with a dark expression. “I’ll make an exception and let you meet the forebearer. However, he doesn’t have a good temper. If you speak to him as you spoke to me, then you’ll bear the consequences yourself!”Andrius snorted coldly without comment.Then, the emperor had his attendants bring out the Petalonian forebearer.“Maxwell Sterling...” Andrius looked at the fake forebearer who looked just like the real one and snorted coldly. “Do you recognize me?”“You? The Wolf King of Florence? Of course, I don’t recognize me?” the forebearer looked at Andrius and said disdainfully.“I see! You don’t recognize me...” Andrius got the result he wanted and laughed out
Everyone’s gazes fell on the unexpected guest, not daring to blink.Andrius said loudly, “Your Majesty, warriors, open your eyes wide and look closely.”As he spoke, Maxwell slowly took off his mask, revealing a face that was very familiar to many people. He was the forebearer of Petalonia.He looked identical to the person to the side. They were indistinguishable.“What...”“This...”“How could this be?”“W-what’s going on?”Many people on the scene were stunned with confused expressions. Their eyes constantly shifted between the two.The emperor was also clearly taken aback.“Hmph!” The forebearer scoffed and accused, “Boy, I don’t know where you got the audacity to impersonate me, but do you realize that impersonating the Petalonian forebearer is a grave offense?”The person was quick to accuse Maxwell.Maxwell said disdainfully, “We both know who the real imposter is. Why are you acting like the innocent party? Do you think that you’re the real one just because you spok
He gave Maxwell a mocking glare before leaning into the emperor’s ear and whispering a few words.“Done.”After speaking, the fake forebearer looked provocatively at Maxwell and said calmly, “Anderson, you should know the answer. Tell everyone who the real forebearer is.”Anderson was the emperor’s name. As the forebearer of Petalonia, openly calling the emperor by his name was not a big deal.Maxwell was equally confident. “Anderson, since he asked, just say it out loud. I’ll stand behind you.”The results were about to be revealed.The guards, warriors, and dignitaries were all tense. Many held their breaths, kept on edge.The emperor’s gaze lingered on the two for a moment, then he pointed at the imposter and said, “Everyone, he’s the real forebearer of Petalonia!”Upon hearing this, Maxwell’s eyes widened sharply, his anger flaring.“Anderson!” His eyes glared at the emperor like a lion as he questioned coldly, “You know that I’m the true forebearer of Florence. Why are yo
Swoosh!Andrius immediately unleashed the Burden of Nine Skies without hesitation.The spear shifted like gathering winds and clouds, changing endlessly. Each strike carried incredible killing intent, containing intense anger.“Unrivaled Under the Heavens!”Andrius unleashed the strongest strike from the Burden of Nine Skies.Clang!However, the opponent’s palm force slammed against the spear and produced the sound of metal clashing.No matter how much strength Andrius exerted and how much he increased his power, the spear could not advance even a fraction of an inch. Even though the spear was bent, it did not make any progress.Andrius could not help but be shocked.At the ninth form of the Burden of Nine Skies, multiple layers of spear energy could be released simultaneously, stacking up like waves of unlimited power.At his current level, even someone at the eighth Divine Step would struggle to withstand it.Could the person in front of him be a ninth Divine Step expert?
Therefore, Andrius did not use his full strength when fighting Nathan.Now, he was going all out!“The seventh Divine Step?” Arthur sensed it and sneered. “That’s far from enough!”As he spoke, he did not make any visible movements, but his body shot into the air like a rocket.Then, he gathered strength at the highest point and reversed direction.The next moment, he dove toward Andrius like a meteor.As he got closer to Andrius, his speed increased, and his aura grew stronger.Andrius felt a chill. It was just a small move from Arthur, but it carried such powerful momentum.The ninth Divine Step...It was truly strong, strong enough to make one’s heart tremble!Of course, that did not include Andrius.“Unrivaled Under the Heavens!”He tapped the ground with his spear, using the force of its recoil to launch himself into the air. In the air, he swung the spear like a roaring dragon, fierce and dominant.Boom!The next moment, the two collided like comets crashing into th
As for Noir, Clarissa, and the Turtle Sage...Facing countless warriors from Petalonia, including many Divine Step experts, kept increasing their pressure.When Nathan learned that Andrius’ group was from Florence and planned to target their forebearer and emperor, it was like adding fuel to the fire, causing him to burn with rage.Each attack came with a fury.Each assault was done with full force.The three were in an absolutely disadvantaged position, and the situation became increasingly precarious.Furthermore, there was always a steady stream of experts gathering around from all directions.At that point, even if Andrius won against Arthur, he would likely be drowned in an endless sea of warriors. It would be too much for them to handle.This could not continue!Andrius sent a message to Maxwell while fighting Arthur.“Quick, think of a way. Otherwise, we’ll eventually be defeated here.’Maxwell was already overwhelmed and could not afford to be distracted by anything
It turned out that the emperor Maxwell had just struck was only an afterimage.The real emperor had hidden behind him.He took advantage of Maxwell’s reluctance to kill the emperor and his temporary lack of vigilance after striking the afterimage to attack Maxwell.Sure enough, the strike succeeded. He did it.“Pfft...” Maxwell coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggering as he turned around. He faced his favorite great-grandson and asked in disbelief, “Why?”“Why?” The emperor looked at him, full of anger and hatred, and retorted, “Don’t you know why? All these years, I’ve held the title of emperor, but you’ve been controlling me the whole time. You make all the major decisions.“I’m just a puppet, a marionette for you to manipulate, and you ask why? It’s because he told me that I could become the true emperor. Thus, he’s the real forebearer!”At that moment, the emperor seemed to go mad, completely losing his sanity.Ambition blinded him, and desire for power clouded his heart.
Gulp...Maxwell had already made up his mind. Why would he care about his life and death or the words of the emperor?He was completely disappointed with the emperor.With a light sound and gulp, Maxwell swallowed the pill.“Y-you... Madman! You’re a madman!” The emperor was immediately frightened and cursed furiously as he prepared to leave.Swoosh!However, the next second, Maxwell rushed forward and grabbed his throat.A powerful sense of suffocation hit the emperor. For the first time, he felt the threat of death.“Forebearer... N-no. Don’t kill me...” At that moment, the emperor was completely terrified, desperately trying to beg for mercy.However, this time, Maxwell did not give him the chance.“Die!” he said coldly, then twisted the emperor’s neck without hesitation.“Huh?”“Oh, no! The emperor is dead!”“H-he killed the emperor. Kill him!”“Quick, get him together—”...The warriors and guards below who saw this scene went berserk. They all shouted and screamed
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!
