Andrius’ heart trembled.The Ethereal Tower only sent three elders to infiltrate the heart of the Skybound Sect, causing the death of the previous Sect Master...Furthermore, he had not been avenged even after so many years. It showed how powerful the Ethereal Tower was. They probably surpassed the Skybound Sect!“The Ethereal Tower stands at the bottom of a cliff in the extreme north of a frozen tundra.” Gerald explained, “Their sect master is an incredible figure who hasn’t appeared in the world for many years. Even I can’t get any information about him. However, those three elders are all formidable and skilled in concealment techniques.“They relied on those powerful techniques to enter the heart of the Skybound Sect and launch a sudden attack that caught us off guard. You must be extra cautious when you face them.“Also, their strength may have improved even more over the years. You must not confront them before you reach the late Golden Core stage. Otherwise, even escaping w
Gerald thought about it and smiled wryly. “Perhaps it’s fate. According to what you said earlier, my grandfather only taught you a set of hammer techniques, but you managed to break through from the seventh Divine Step to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop. His strength is probably higher than mine. If he doesn’t want us to find him, it’ll be very difficult for us.”Andrius remained silent.Gerald continued, “The method for using this Sensing Cauldron is actually quite simple.“Take out anything that contains the aura of the person you want to find on it, then infuse true energy into the Sensing Cauldron to simulate it. The Sensing Cauldron will resonate and guide you.“The item is very simple. It can be clothing, hair, blood, and so on. When you reach a certain level, you can even imitate the person’s aura to find him. However, blood is the most responsive, followed by hair, dead skin, and so on. Finally, it’s clothes and weapons that have been used.“Furthermore, depending
Just then, a fisherman who came down from the boat called out to Andrius, “Young man...”Andrius stopped and asked, “Do you need something?”The fisherman glanced at the depths of the island, lowered his voice, and said fearfully, “This island is the territory of the notorious One-Eyed Pirates. You’d better leave before they discover you. Otherwise, once they know you’re new, they’ll rob your belongings and throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”Pirates...With Andrius’ stature, he did not fear mere pirates. He said indifferently, “Judging by your tone, it seems you know this island very well. Do you happen to know if there have been any outsiders on this island recently?”“Outsiders?” The fisherman and his companions exchanged puzzled looks.Then, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that, but a ship arrived a few days ago. The ship looked quite new and didn’t seem cheap, but we don’t know if there were people on board.”A ship!Andrius immediately thought of the
He was the boss that the scar-faced pirate mentioned, the pirate king of this area named Zachber!The scar-faced pirate said respectfully by the pool, “Boss, a businessman said he wants to buy the ship we got a few days ago.”“Oh?” Zachber raised an eyebrow and glanced at Andrius, then patted the two ladies and signaled them to leave.Then, he got out of the pool himself.“A hundred million!” Zachber raised a finger, looking at Andrius in interest.The deposit when Noir rented the ship was only 10 million, but Zachber asked for 100 million right away. He was clearly trying to overcharge Andrius.Andrius nodded. “No problem, but I have a condition.”“What is it?”Andrius said solemnly, “We businessmen have a rule when doing business. The goods must come clean for money to be earned peacefully. Thus, I need you to clearly explain the origin of this ship. I don’t want to get into trouble after the ship falls into my hands.”Zachber clearly agreed with Andrius’ statement, “No prob
“Heh...” Zachber sneered at Andrius’ arrogance. “How fearless. In that case, get him, boys! Kill him, chop him into minced meat, and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!”As soon as he finished speaking, the pirates rushed forward like a swarm. These pirates often roamed the sea and relied on their skills for killing and looting. They indeed possessed a fierce aura.Many of them had calluses on their hands, bulging temples, and moved like the wind. They were all seasoned fighters. However, they were no match for Andrius at all.Swoosh...With a casual move, a very ordinary iron spear appeared in Andrius’ hand.Then, what followed was simply complete annihilation.Whoosh...The moves were casual, but the spear intent was extraordinary.Andrius easily swept away all the pirates who rushed up.Some flew back explosively, some flew in the air, and some rolled endlessly. They scattered around like beans spilled from a bowl.“Ugh...”“Ow...”“My waist...”“Sunnova-...”..
“You’ll pay for your arrogance. Die!”With that last word, the pirates once again charged from all directions.Each one corresponded to the pillars around, their momentum so overwhelming, it was as if a stampede.Boom!Boom!Boom...Their steps were orderly and precise, each resonating like the tolling of a bell that shook the heavens and the earth!Three seconds later, all the pirates arrived within several meters of Andrius.“After all that fuss, you’re finally here.” Andrius casually glanced at the swarm of pirates and shook his head slightly.His disdainful action infuriated Zachber. He immediately screamed in rage, “Crush him to pieces!”Rumble...The pirates were also furious and readied themselves to go all out.However, then...Swoosh!Andrius swung his spear again.It was a familiar posture, scene, and defeat.The pirates’ vast numbers were sent flying several dozen meters in half a second, then crashed heavily to the ground. The formation that was dormant for
Dexter glanced at Andrius and said disdainfully, “It’s just a brat. There’s no need for us to take action together. Declan, you handle this.”All three of them were top experts on the eighth Divine Step. United, they could even contend against a ninth Divine Step expert without breaking a sweat.“No problem!” Declan obviously did not take Andrius seriously.He walked up and said arrogantly, “Kid, I’m getting old and don’t like killing. Kneel and apologize, and I’ll let you off easy.”Andrius sneered. “One palm from me can kill ten old men like you. Hurry up and say your last words.”Declan instantly screamed in fury, “Ahhhhh! Damn you. Damn you! I’ll kill you—”As he roared, his right hand suddenly turned into a giant palm and slapped down on Andrius. It was rather formidable.“How dare that kid mock Master Miller? He must be tired of living.”“Die! He deserves to die!”“With that palm, he’ll be smashed to bits!”“How satisfying!”...Zachber and the other pirates cheered.
“We’re willing to do anything you say. Please spare us.”All beings were equal in the face of death. The three spoke in unison without care about their image.“Hmph. Get up.” Andrius snorted coldly and put the spear away.“Thank you!” The three slowly got up as if granted amnesty.“You can serve me, but...” Andrius smirked and acted quickly, pressing his palm against their chests.The three immediately felt their chests tighten for a moment, making it hard to breathe. They instinctively asked, “W-what did you just do to us?”“I put a Heartbind Lock on you.” Andrius explained, “This lock acts on your hearts. If you ever dare to have thoughts of betrayal, it will crush your hearts and cause your souls to scatter.”It was one of the techniques he learned from Gerald. While not very effective against opponents of the same level, it worked against these Divine Step experts.“What...” Their expressions turned bitter as they shouted in unison, “We’ll pledge our loyalty to you, Master!
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!
