To be able to force them to retreat with just a strand of soul energy, that person was definitely a high-level Divine Step expert!However, the three elders were not the only ones shocked. Noah and the other coachmen, guards, Simon, and even Quincey were equally stunned as well. It turned out that the mysterious expert was Andrius!The two displays of soul energy were too familiar, and the voice earlier was the same as Andrius’, so there was no mistaking it.“M-Mr. Moonshade…” Noah, who had spoken to Andrius the most along the way, asked hesitantly, “W-Was that you?”Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Andrius walked out confidently. Instead of answering, he gave Noah an assuring look before heading straight toward the three elders.“Since Ms. Monroe is unwilling to go to the Lowes, why force her?”Andrius looked at the three elders and said indifferently, “Please leave.”The three elders never expected the person who came out of the carriage to be such a young man. The
Andrius replied courteously, “You’re too kind, Mr. Monroe. I have no other requests. All I wish for is a quiet place to recuperate.”Upon hearing that the man wanted to recuperate, Richard immediately said, “Of course, Mr. Moonshade. Quincey, prepare the best medicinal herbs and arrange the best room for Mr. Moonshade.”“Sure. Please wait a moment, Mr. Moonshade.” Quincey received the orders and went to make the arrangements.A moment later, everything was settled. Thus, Andrius began to recuperate in seclusion in the Monroes’ residence.Meanwhile, the news of the three elders’ failure reached the Lowes promptly.Bam!The enraged family head, Howard Lowe, slammed his hand on the precious sandalwood table and shattered it into pieces. “Ridiculous! How dare Quincey Monroe constantly make excuses for herself when our families had an engagement? She has no respect for our family at all. She even has the guts to attack our family elders… It’s absurd!”Howard’s narrowed eyes were red
The elders were furious when they saw how stubborn Richard was.“Richard Monroe!” The Grand Elder’s beard trembled in anger as he rebuked, “Are you determined to go down the path of no return? If so, don’t blame us for being impolite!”He glanced at a few other elders after that. Knowing what he meant, the elders stepped forward. “Richard Monroe, you’re too selfish. You’re unworthy of serving as the head of the Monroes.“According to the rules of the family, all elders have unanimously voted to depose you from your position as the head of the family!”Richard was shocked and furious to hear those words.“Elders, y-you’re…”His finger trembled as he pointed at the Grand Elder. He was so angry that he could not speak.“Bad news! Bad news!”Just then, a servant rushed in with one shoe missing and said in a panic, “Elders, the Lowe family has arrived with the family head, Howard, leading them. And all the elders are present! They also threatened…”The Grand Elder sneered, “What
With that, the group rushed into the secret chamber.Even if Richard did not tell them, they knew that, since Andrius was recuperating, he must be in the secret chamber. A simple search would reveal his whereabouts.Upon hearing the commotion, Quincey rushed over and stopped the Grand Elder and the others. “No! Mr. Moonshade saved me twice on the road back. You can’t hand him over.”“Absolutely not!” Richard spoke out almost simultaneously, blocking them.“Stubborn fools!” The Grand Elder’s eyes were ice-cold. “As a Monroe, you should put the family above yourself, Quincey. That is your fate. You must marry into the Lowes today, and there’s no way you can protect that whelp.” Following that, the Grand Elder raised his palm, sending Quincey flying and landing right in front of a group of Lowe disciples. “Hold her down!”“Yes!” the disciples responded before swarming over and pinning Quincey in place, rendering her unable to move.When Richard and the others went forward to save
“Heh…”The Grand Elder seized the opportunity to join the battle, launching a surprise attack from behind.It caught Richard off guard, and he had no time to defend himself.Boom!The full force of the fourth Divine Step slammed viciously onto Richard’s back, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood and fall backward.Bam, bam, bam… The remaining elders also bombarded Richard one after another. In less than five seconds, Richard was severely injured and had no strength to continue the fight.“Richard Monroe!”Seeing Richard’s state, the Grand Elder said sinisterly, “Today, I will represent the Monroe family and cripple you. You deserve this!”With that, he raised his right hand, instantly unleashing a powerful palm strike at Richard’s chest. If that strike landed on Richard, it would cripple him.However, a sharp swooshing sound cut through the air. Before anyone could turn to look, a chilling killing intent swept over, locking onto the Grand Elder.The Grand Elder tremb
Swish, swish, swish!The remaining elders of the Lowe family all attacked.“You overestimate yourselves.”Andrius sneered contemptuously, then struck his palm out again. It was casual and composed, yet… Boom!Howard and the others felt the pressure as if the sky was falling. They were sent flying with blood spurting out of their mouths, all of them perishing.Just one palm killed the Lowe family head, Howard, and all the elders!A dead silence befell the scene. At that moment, Andrius was like a god descending to earth. He was invincible and unstoppable.“Scram!” Andrius glared at the Lowe family disciples and shouted.Feeling like they were struck by lightning, many of the disciples collapsed on the spot, their hearts rupturing as they foamed at the mouth. They were literally scared to death.Only a few managed to run away while pissing themselves.“Quincey, Mr. Monroe, are you both okay?”Andrius checked their pulses and sighed in relief when he found they were fine.“M
“Kid, it was you who killed Howard.”Travis did a scan of his surroundings before locking his eyes on Andrius, who said indifferently, “Maybe… if you don’t do as I say next, the ones I kill won’t just be those earlier. It might include you, too.”His words revealed his intention to kill, and a chilling wind surrounded Andrius, raging wildly in all directions.“Hahaha!”Travis was stunned at first, but he eventually burst out laughing arrogantly and wildly. He was laughing at Andrius, looking down on the man.“Kid…”After a moment, he finally stopped and glared at Andrius. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard something so funny. For that, I’ll show you some mercy. Do you know what level I am currently at?”Travis’ voice was full of arrogance and contempt. He truly looked down on Andrius because he had broken through to the eighth Divine Step.In the whole of Sunpass City, and even in the Black Kiln Sea, apart from true immortals and the ninth Divine Step experts, he was power
Travis was always arrogant, so his sudden change of attitude shocked Richard and the others. However, they all understood that it was because of Andrius’ strength.Richard was stunned as he thought there might be a bloody battle today. Unexpectedly, Travis, who had reached the eighth Divine Step, was completely helpless before Andrius.Richard’s curiosity about Andrius’ true strength and background grew stronger.“Get to it.”With Andrius’ order and Travis’ submission, everything was settled smoothly. Half an hour later, everything was sorted out.Travis took a long glance behind and left reluctantly with the remaining members of the Lowe family. When he turned around, his resentful gaze hovered over Andrius, hiding the malice in his eyes.Not long after, the group reached the outskirts of Sunpass City.“Forebearer…”The disciples asked in dissatisfaction, “Are we really going to leave in such humiliation?”“That’s right, Forebearer!”“Forebearer, this is such cowardly behavi
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!
