“My disciple! Follow the rhythm of the Infinite Esoteric Art as I guided you before.”The Mountain Sage already rushed out as he spoke.Then, he began to display that legendary skill in front of Andrius.“Esoteric Art: Skyward Palm!”A palm print suddenly appeared in the darkness, towering and infinite, piercing the heavens!Andrius had no doubt that only someone at the Darkness stage could display the true power of this palm.“Esoteric Art: Etheric Sword!”The Mountain Sage’s finger acted as a sword. The sword light parted everything in its way, causing destruction that one could not bear to look at directly.“Esoteric Art: Myriad Fists!”Tens of thousands of fists rained from the sky to the ground, each with earth-shattering power, ultimately stacking together to form an unprecedented punch.Andrius guessed that the power of this fist was stronger than the previous two moves combined.“Esoteric Art: Adamantine Finger!”“Esoteric Art...”The various exquisite techniques c
Thud!The Inferno Blood Sovereign and Sanguine Fiend continued to attack, beating Andrius back and forth without any ability to fight back.The Mountain Sage frowned when he saw this scene.“Andrius, do you still remember the techniques I just displayed?”Amidst the chaos, Andrius paused for a moment.Of course he remembered.The Mountain Sage told Andrius to watch carefully, so Andrius focused all his attention. He remembered each move and the circulation of true energy very clearly.Whoosh...Just as Andrius recalled, he suddenly felt a warm flow in his meridians, and an image appeared in his mind.This was...The legendary inheritance memory!“Since you remember, use the techniques against them!”“Got it!”Andrius focused and tried to unleash those techniques.“Esoteric Art: Myriad Fists!”“Esoteric Art: Skyward Palm!”“Esoteric Art...”Although each move was inexperienced, its might rendered Andrius speechless.This was the secret technique of a true immortal!Th
As he spoke, he raised his hand and struck a palm that coincided with the handprint on the tombstone.Click, click, click...A series of dull sounds echoed as the tombstone moved aside, revealing a dark entrance.The inside was pitch black, making it impossible to see clearly.“Although it looks like a tomb from the outside, it’s actually a wonderful formation.” The Mountain Sage stepped inside and introduced to Andrius.“Inside, there are yin and yang energies, as well as four mythical beasts guarding the six directions. This ensures that the true vitality won’t dissipate over time. It’s why I confidently stored my lifelong essence here.”Andrius nodded silently in understanding.The Mountain Sage was familiar with the inside and skillfully deactivated layer upon layer of mechanisms, leading Andrius to the innermost hall of the tomb.The hall was spacious, and the only thing that stood out was a crystal coffin at the center.Inside the coffin lay a man with a pale face, looki
Thus, Andrius had no choice but to immediately channel the true vitality into his meridians and acupoints after absorbing them to avoid overwhelming his Nascent Soul.However, in doing so, Andrius’ meridians suffered immense strain.In less than ten seconds, he felt his extraordinary meridians swelling painfully on the verge of rupturing.Crack!Crack, crack...Andrius knew this was an unparalleled opportunity, so he gritted his teeth and tried to endure it.It was futile, though.As the continuous stream of true vitality entered his body, he barely had time to assimilate and absorb it before he had to redirect it through his body to reduce the pressure on his dantian.The situation continued to worsen.In the end, when the true vitality reached Andrius’ limit, he gritted his teeth to hold on, but his meridians could not.Pop!With a soft popping sound, it was as if a series of chains had broken.Pop, pop, pop...Pop, pop, pop...A series of popping sounds echoed inside A
The next moment, he suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Andrius’ back.Whoosh...A vast and boundless soul energy entered Andrius’ body.It was just an instant, but the turbulent and rampant true vitality inside him seemed to sense something and instantly became calm.Although it still had nowhere to go, it became much more docile.Of course, that did not solve the problem.The flow of true vitality continued. Once this process began, there was no turning back until the transfer was complete.“Phew... That should stabilize it.”The Mountain Sage sighed and split a wisp of his soul energy to support Andrius’ Nascent Soul while the remainder protected his heart meridian.The chaotic state inside Andrius instantly began to subside.Swoosh...The true vitality kept flowing endlessly like a mighty river.With the support of the Mountain Sage’s soul energy, Andrius had a chance to breathe.Although he was unconscious, his subconscious mind continued to refine and absorb
“Did Mr. Moonshade die in there?”The guardians and elders began to have a bad feeling about it. Even Silas could not help but frown.That was because the third trial was just an illusion and required no more than half an hour. It was common knowledge that exceeding that time meant the person had died inside!What they did not know was that, because the previous people who entered did not manage to pass the Mountain Sage’s test, they either died outright or had their memories erased before they were sent out.“Could it be that… Mr. Moonshade isn’t the Chosen One?” Silas looked at the entrance of the Gate of Living Death and murmured in disappointment.However, at that moment, a figure strode out from the third trial. It was none other than Andrius.“Gasp… H-How is that possible?”“Mr. Moonshade is out…”“What’s going on?”“It’s unbelievable.”Everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, including Silas, was shocked.The Gate of Living Death had been in the Immortal Cultiva
It was a large ancient and majestic hall, but Andrius found it cold and odd. Apart from a single path leading deeper inside, only two rows of statues flanked the path.The statues looked eerie. They were lifeless, yet they appeared vividly alive. Their blood-red eyes, in particular, were like fierce beasts staring at the hall’s entrance.The path extended into the distance, and what lay at the end was unknown. However, since he was here, he had to move forward!With that, Andrius steeled himself and stepped onto the path.Just as he reached the first pair of statues, they suddenly cracked. The pieces flew off, revealing their true forms. It was two humans, and their red eyes flashed with a murderous glint as they charged at Andrius. However, to Andrius, who was currently at the Hollow stage, they were too slow.Clang!Bam!Andrius swung his spear without hesitation, sending the two flying a dozen meters away. Ordinary cultivators hit by such a blow would end up on the ground
What happened next was within Andrius’ expectations. Each statue hid a puppet, and the strength of each puppet increased. He fought his way through, sweeping through the path using his powerful spear techniques and formidable true energy to destroy all the puppets until only two remained.Andrius held his spear and walked toward the final stretch, his eyes flickering. “If I defeat you two, do I pass the Gate of Living Death?”As he spoke, he stood between the last pair of statues, and what happened next was a familiar cracking sound and scene.Two puppets emerged from the statues, charging at an incredible speed. The speed created a sound as they cut through the air.A chilling intent filled the air before they could even reach him.“Overlord’s Return!”Andrius swung his spear as usual, the tip striking the two rapidly approaching puppets. However, he was shocked at their recoil. “Oh?” Those two puppets had reached the strength of the Hollow stage. Although it was only at t
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!
