Meanwhile at Artemis Clinic, Andrius was writing prescriptions. A few days ago, he thought of a brand new prescription that could relieve the veterans' pain more effectively, so he went over. Suddenly, he received a call from Fatty Frank. “Hello…” Andrius answered the call. “Boss! Something bad has happened!” Fatty Frank’s voice was trembling, and he spoke in a hurry. “There’s some guy who calls himself Young Master Crestfall from the capital here at the office just now, and he just took Luna away by force. “The security guards and we were not his bodyguards’ match. Even Athena was knocked out. Boss, help! What should we do?” Luna was taken? Andrius frowned. He thought it would be peaceful after taking care of the Hendersons and the Hanshus, yet before he could even relax, Luna was taken away by force. What in the… “Young man, what happened?” Dr. Artemis came over and spotted the look on Andrius’ face. “Just now, someone claiming to be the Young Master Crestfall of
The way Cain spoke was extremely pretentious. Belarus said coldly, “We’re doing fine. We won’t die that easily.” Harry had a somber look on his face as well. “I see my good nephew has grown up a bit.” Cain, of course, could discern the sarcasm in their words, but he did not take them seriously. He said leisurely, “We are family. Why must you speak in that way? Actually, I am here to tell you guys something…” Finally, Cain got to the point. Both Belarus and Harry knew what he was going to say. Belarus stopped him and said, “Cain, what must we do for you to release Luna? Just tell us, stop wasting our time.” “Nice! I like your straightforward attitude!” Cain clapped his hands. Then, he curled his lips into a vicious grin and said, “I want you and your family to get out of Sumeria, out of the East River State, and settle down in a small town in the southeast. “Do not ever come back. And, you are to hand over all your business here in Sumeria, then I will release Luna.” H
Andrius did not waste time with Cain. While Cain was on the walkie-talkie, he strode over to Luna. The bodyguards tried to stop him by throwing punches at him, but it did not deter Andrius at all. He remained calm as he continued forward. When the first bodyguard’s punch almost hit his face, he attacked. He grabbed the incoming fist, twisted it, and distorted the bodyguard’s arm into a freaky angle as if he was twisting a towel dry. Then, Andrius kicked him away. The other bodyguards threw themselves at him one by one; Andrius knocked them out one by one. “Punk, you…” The moment Cain got off the walkie-talkie, he saw his men defeated by Andrius, which fueled his anger and shock. If he had simply stayed quiet, Andrius would not have gone after him. Now that he had spoken, it would be his end. Andrius walked over to him and threw a punch in his face, sending him flying into the wall before he slid to the floor. Solomon almost peed himself when that happened. He quic
The criminals threw themselves at Andrius en masse. Andrius took a step forward, threw a strike at the first man, and punched him against the wall, killing him on the spot. They were all murderous criminals who did not value life, so there was no reason for Andrius to hold back. However, Andrius’ merciless punches somehow surprised the criminals. Before they could react, he punched and kicked, knocking them all out one by one. They were either killed or crippled for life. Half a minute later, only Andrius and Cain remained standing in the room. Solomon had passed out due to shock. Andrius looked at Cain and said, “You have two more chances.” “Grr….” Cain’s eyes were bloodshot due to the anger. Now, he finally believed Solomon when he said that Andrius was powerful. In fact, he was not just powerful, he was ridiculously powerful! Cain, however, was not afraid, because he had a gun with him. He drew his gun out and took aim at Andrius. He then pulled the trigger. “Die
The old man was scrawny and short. He had deep wrinkles on his face and caved-in eyebags that somehow flashed wickedly from time to time. His stare was similar to that of a viper. More importantly, his fingernails were maroon in color, extending long and sharp. It resembled the claws of a hawk who had just crushed its prey. It was frightening to look at. “Elder Nevermore, you’re here just in time! Kill this man for me!” Cain was delighted by the old man’s arrival. He pointed at Andrius and commanded the old man to kill him. “Young Master Crestfall, a piece of cake.” The old man cupped his fists at Cain before he headed to Andrius. He said as he walked closer, “Kid, I am Ulysse Nevermore, a pseudo-martial artist.” He sounded proud and his gaze at Andrius was full of disdain. “I cultivated the Nine Yin Skeleton Claws, and I have mastered it to perfection.” Then, he swung his hands in the air. Swoosh! Clank! Powerful qi energy blasted forward. The tea table beside hi
After Andrius left the Rising Dragon Hotel, he went back to the Crestfalls’ estate. Belarus, Harry, and Luna were all there. Luna looked pale and had yet to recover from the shock. “Andrius, you’re back.” Belarus bitterly chuckled when he saw Andrius and continued, “We must look like a joke to you.” Andrius was not bothered at all. “Every family has their own problems.” “I agree.” Belarus sighed and then explained, “The conflict between our family and the Crestfalls in the capital, the East River State, happened a long time ago. It’s been so long that I almost forgot about it. “Back then, my father was still around. In order to select a qualified heir to the family business, he treated me and my brother fairly and wanted us to compete equally for the position. I followed my father’s teachings to be honest and serious about work and to maintain a humble heart. “I gained quite the support and got the advantage at a certain period of time. However, it did not last…” Then
“Mm-hmm. I’ll bear it in mind.” When the words escaped Luna’s mouth, her face blushed. “I got it,” Andrius simply answered and went into his room. Luna stared at his back, speechless. ‘Geez…’ Andrius had no idea what was going through Luna’s mind. He went on his phone to check some military news. Suddenly, he got a call from Bruce, the master of the Timberlands. “Mr. Moonshade, the young master of the Crestfalls from the capital, Cain, came to Sumeria and took Ms. Crestfall away. I wonder if it has been dealt with.” Bruce knew a thing or two about the Crestfalls but not everything. Cain had caused a commotion with his arrival, so it was natural that Bruce wanted to know more. Cain might just be a reckless young man, but the Crestfalls from the capital were so powerful that even Bruce dared not mess with them. Not even the Hendersons had the nerves to challenge the Crestfalls from the capital, let alone the Timberlands. “It has been dealt with,” Andrius simply answer
Meanwhile at the East River State, Idris brought his family to St. Jade Church for their monthly prayers. The Crestfalls were regulars, and they would donate a few million to the church from time to time. Therefore, the church prepared a VIP prayer room just for the Crestfalls. The room was spacious at more than 200 meters square feet. Idris held the prayer beads in his hands as he knelt on the cushion. In front of him was a golden statue of God, looking solemn and holistic. Behind him were the younger family members, looking similarly solemn and respectful. Only James, Cain’s father, was distracted. He had lost contact with Cain for a while now, he had a bad feeling. A slight hesitation later, he went up to his father and said in a small voice, “Father, I haven’t gotten in contact with Cain for a while now. I wonder if…” “Shut up!” Idris stopped him before he could finish. Displeased, Idris added, “This is a sacred praying ground. A peaceful heart is imperative to ac
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!
