“Hah...” The Grand Elder of Ironsword Sect stood up with a fake smile. “Andrius Moonshade, it’s not that we look down on you. It’s just that you are too weak. A mere Golden Core stage cultivator dares to establish a sect? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”He said that he was not looking down on Andrius, but it was clear that he was. It was written all over his face.“Exactly. A mere Golden Core stage cultivator like you would only be an elite disciple in my Bloodlust Sect, yet you dare to come out and make a fool of yourself. How ludicrous.”“Hahaha, you’re just making a fool of yourself. I’ve been in the cultivation world for many years, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a ‘powerful’ sect like yours.”“You want us to show respect and wipe away past grievances? How utterly ridiculous.”...As soon as the Grand Elder of the Ironsword Sect spoke, the representatives from the other forces also started to mock.Andrius’ expression instantly darkened.It was said tha
The various forces below did not dare to be disrespectful anymore and immediately began to express themselves.“Congratulations, Master Moonshade.”“Congratulations, Master Moonshade.”“Master Moonshade, you are so young yet you’ve already established a sect. Your future is boundless.”“Master Moonshade is truly exceptional and the envy of all.”“I believe that in the future, the Ephialtes Sect’s name will be renowned across the cultivation world!”As they spoke, the representatives of various forces each presented their gifts.“Master Moonshade, here are a hundred vitality pills as a little token. Please accept them.”“Master Moonshade, here are a hundred spirit stones as a sign of my respect.”“Master Moonshade, here are ten yellow-grade treasures, please accept them.”“Master Moonshade...”No one dared to entertain any other thoughts. They all took out the gifts they had prepared and offered them up.After a while, Andrius accepted all the gifts with a smile and said, “T
“Follow me.”After saying that, Registus strode toward the secret chamber Old Hagstorm used for seclusion.The others exchanged glances and immediately followed.A moment later, Registus led them to a mysterious little house.“On the four walls of this house are mechanisms to activate the city’s defensive array. Now, each of you exert your inner energy to activate these mechanisms simultaneously, and the array will be deployed.“This array is called the Primordial Unity Formation. After it’s activated, it can isolate this side of the world from the outside world. Even true cultivators will find it difficult to break through. As long as our supply isn’t cut off, we’ll be able to protect ourselves for the time being.”At his words, the others nodded in agreement and immediately took action.Whoosh...Whirr...Mysterious and profound fluctuations suddenly radiated.In the blink of an eye, they spread to every corner of Kiyoto like ripples on a lake.In an instant, energy rose f
It was far from enough.“Hurry! Set up the formation. I want to see which is superior—a mortal array, or the Ethereal Tower’s formation!”After several failed attempts, Oliver became somewhat irritated.When he spoke, several experts came out from the crowd and stood behind him. They split into two groups, each placing their hands on the back of the person in front of them, lining up all the way to the front where they pressed against Oliver’s back.Whoosh...Immediately, everyone began to gather their true vitality.Thus, the cultivators’ true vitality was entirely transferred to Oliver. Furthermore, the subtle profoundness of the formation instantly raised Oliver’s strength to an even more terrifying peak.Feeling the abundant true vitality like an ocean, Oliver once again raised the Voidbreaker.The sword energy condensed on the blade was more dazzling than ever before, magnificent and brilliant. It was as if, at that moment, that sword energy was the only color in the world
“Let’s go.”They immediately went to check the key [points of the formation.However, just then...Boom!An explosion came from deep within the Forbidden Palace.Whoosh...At the same time, the connection to the heavens and earth also dissipated.Arthur had broken the array!Seeing this, Registus immediately gave the order, “Oh no! Run!”However, as soon as he spoke...Whoosh...A brilliant sword energy descended from the sky, easily breaking the array.Then, an old figure swooped down like an eagle, landing in front of Registus, Clarissa, and the others in an instant.“Run? None of you is going to run today!”The person’s expression was gloomy and full of anger. It was none other than Oliver!Swoosh!Swoosh!Whoosh!Several people attacked simultaneously.“Ha! You overestimate yourselves!” Oliver sneered and casually struck with his palm.Facing this palm, the group felt as if they were facing the brilliance of heaven and earth, instantly being blown away. They fel
The bustling crowds on the streets were gone, and every house had its doors and windows tightly shut. The shops no longer had a dazzling array of goods and appeared lifeless.There were only small groups of experts—all disciples that Oliver dispatched from the sect.In addition, some ordinary people had no choice but to come out for supplies or livelihood.Although it was not a complete ghost town, it was not too far off.Even so, the few people who had no choice but to come out were constantly harassed by the sect disciples. Some were even beaten, scolded, or robbed on the streets.Andrius’ heart ached when he saw these scenes.This was Kiyoto, the economic, cultural, and political center of Florence!Now, it became a place where villains ran rampant.His fellow countrymen were now living extremely difficult lives.No, it was not living.They were merely surviving!Crack...Crack, crack...Andrius took a deep breath, his tightly clenched fists making popping sounds.Thes
“Huh? A headless corpse...”“Someone’s dead, and they’re wearing the Ethereal Tower robes!”“It must be that Moonshade guy. Report it immediately!”“Yes!”In the shadows, Andrius saw this conversation and quickly headed toward the palace while making a human mask. It was a skill he learned from the Monroe family artisan.Outside the palace, Andrius finished making the mask and put it on.“Seven? Why are you back?” a disciple on guard at the gate instinctively asked when he saw Andrius approaching.“Something’s happened.” Andrius manipulated his throat muscles to mimic Seven’s voice. “That Moonshade boy is back. He has already killed one of our comrades. I must report this immediately.”The guard quickly let him through upon hearing this. “Then, hurry.”“Mm.” Andrius nodded and swiftly entered the Forbidden Palace.Whoosh...Once inside, he released his spiritual sense to survey the entire palace.Doing this was risky.If he was unlucky, he might encounter the top expert, h
Arthur finally realized and pointed to Andrius with a trembling finger. “You’re... not Seven. You’re... you’re... Andrius Moonshade!”“Heh...” Andrius snorted and went back to his own voice, saying indifferently, “Smart. You figured it out so quickly.”“Y-you...” Arthur suppressed his hatred and kneeled. “P-please... d-don’t... don’t kill me...”Swoosh!Andrius’ spear flicked and pressed against Arthur’s neck.Just a little force would be enough to send his head flying.“Give me a reason not to kill you.”Arthur felt the chill of the spearhead and quickly said, “I-I can tell you where Registus and the others are. D-don’t kill me...”Despite his hatred for Andrius, in the face of death, Arthur could only temporarily surrender to save his life.After all, as long he was still alive, there were infinite possibilities. However, if he died, then all opportunities and dignity became meaningless.Andrius spat out expressionlessly, “Speak.”“They’re in the deepest prison cell in the
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!
