In just a few seconds, the surging killing intent enveloped the skies.“Heavenly Demon’s Palm!”With a roar, a massive hand formed by true vitality appeared, blocking out the sun.The area it enveloped was instantly plunged into endless darkness. Then, the hand descended directly toward Andrius on Forbidden Peak without hesitation.It was undoubtedly a formidable demonic cultivator.“Heh...”Andrius snorted coldly and shot up. Burning with true vitality, he soared like a sharp sword, producing a hissing noise from the friction with the air.“Esoteric Art: Skyquake Palm!”When he was close, he raised his hand and struck.Boom...The clash of palms was thunderous.It was like the buildup of a three-day storm.At the same time, Andrius landed on the ground, and the other person stood ten meters away.It was none other than the leader of the Demonic Cultivation Alliance, Gabriel Grant.“Andrius Moonshade! You killed seven of my guardians. Today, you’ll pay with your life!”
“Lord Magner, Alliance Leader Walker, Clan Leader Draco,” Gabriel looked over and greeted respectfully. “It’s nice to see that you all are well.”The people in front of him were all extraordinary, each possessing formidable combat power. Gabriel did not dare to show any neglect. He had dealt with them before and knew their methods and strengths were not to be underestimated.The group nodded slightly in response.After the greetings, Gabriel said loudly, “Gentlemen, Andrius Moonshade killed the seven guardians of my sect. I must settle this grievance with him. Please wait for a moment.”At those words, their reactions were almost identical.“Sect Master Grant, we’ve all been cultivating for many years. Do you think we can’t see through your intentions?”Briar sneered. “You’re just trying to steal the Sky Genesis Sword in his hands to gain an advantage in the upcoming operation, right?”Cloud said casually, “Sect Master Grant, this is the mortal world. It’d be best to put away yo
What they meant was clear.“Fine.”Helpless, Gabriel had no choice but to agree.He glared resentfully at Andrius and said, “In that case, please take out all your Sky Genesis Swords, activate the immortal power within, and find the location of the ninth sword.”As he spoke, an object appeared in front of him. It was the Sky Genesis Sword in his possession.Everyone else, including Andrius, took out their Sky Genesis Swords as well.Whirr… When the eight swords gathered, a phenomenon suddenly happened. Eight beams, in the colors of the rainbow and black, instantly descended from the sky, each corresponding to one Sky Genesis Sword, creating a grand scene. Then, as if mysteriously drawn, the eight swords suddenly flew into the air. At some point, an octagonal-shaped disk had formed in the air, and the eight swords inserted themselves in the key positions.The octagon began to rotate, generating mystical forces. The process lasted about ten seconds, and a seven-colored rainbow
The group answered, “Yes!”Of course, Andrius had another task before that—to lift the curse of Clarissa’s Calamitous Poison Vessel. With his current strength, it was easy. For Clarissa, it was all a blessing in disguise as Andrius’ help advanced her directly from the Divine Step realm to the Golden Core stage. The leader of the foreign Poison Alliance thus devoted herself fully to Andrius, serving him wholeheartedly.For the next half year, Andrius went into seclusion, with three reasons in mind. The first was to continuously refine the true vitality left by the Mountain Sage, which was critical to increasing his cultivation realm and forming a strong foundation.The second was to cultivate his various techniques and secret arts to perfection; the third was to integrate his current secret arts and treasures into a combat mode that maximized his battle potential.In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and Andrius had successfully broken through to the early Darkness stage.
Even though Andrius was already a top expert in the Darkness stage, with Belarus, he was still the same man as before.At Belarus’ question, Andrius said sadly, “Not yet, but don’t worry.”However, Andrius quickly added, “Even if I have to search the ends of the earth, I’ll find Luna. I came here to tell you that I’m heading out now, and my strength will greatly increase after this trip. Then, it should be much easier to find Luna.”Belarus’ eyes dimmed when he heard that there was no news, and he zoned out after that, not catching what Andrius said.“Go, then. Don’t forget to come back and visit often…”Andrius fell silent.“Andy…” At that moment, Noir said, “Everyone has gathered in Sumeria. They’re all waiting for you.”“Grandpa Belarus…” Andrius composed himself and said despondently, “I have to go.”Belarus waved his hand weakly but did not look at Andrius. It was clear how much he did not want Andrius to leave.“Stay safe, Andrius. Come back soon.”Harry and the others
“Legend has it that a cataclysm once happened in the Barren Land, and a great horror is sealed in its depths. Of course, that’s just the legend. I don’t know the specifics either.”At the mention of a great horror that had happened in the Barren Land, Andrius frowned.He could not help but recall the expressions of Briar, Cloud, and the others half a year ago when they saw the location of the ninth sword. Their expressions seemed off.He did not expect that there would be such a place on Earth. Did places like the Barren Land represent the ends of the Earth?Rather, other than the Barren Land, what other mysterious and strange places were there on Earth? After all, the universe was infinite.Andrius shook his head. Using his knowledge to judge Earth was a ridiculously skewed view, especially since his knowledge and experience were far from the Earth’s!“Everyone…”Once everyone had emerged from the spatial rift, Briar announced, “This was the location we pinpointed half a year a
“Noir and Halle, you two keep watch outside. If Briar, Cloud, or the others come, let them in. Just stay alert and make sure nothing happens. If something happens, inform me immediately.”Halle and Noir exchanged a look before nodding together. “Okay!”With the plan set, Andrius and Yvie took a pill to restore their true energy and carefully entered the cave.The second they entered, the atmosphere inside turned chaotic and violent with sword energies flying toward them, turning the space into a chaotic battlefield.“Watch out!” Yvie warned.Andrius waved his hand and summoned the Linebreaker Overlord.“Overlord’s Return!”Andrius attacked continuously, shattering the sword energies. However, the recoil from the spear startled him because the sword energies were all at the late Hollow stage, and each one had immense destructive power!After shattering dozens of sword energies, Andrius saw that they showed no sign of stopping. Hence, he began to look around, in search of clues t
Swish!Andrius had no choice but to gather his true vitality and resist it by force.He attacked with his palm, and a powerful true vitality formed a barrier in front of him with an apparition layered upon it. It was the signature defense technique of the Mountain Sage—Esoteric Art: Turtle Essence.Just as he cast it, the countless flames carrying immense power fiercely struck the barrier, which shattered in less than a second. Andrius, however, suffered the backlash. Blood oozed from his mouth, and his body slammed backward into the rock wall blocking his path.To Andrius’ surprise, the impact shattered the wall, and now the scene before him was vastly different. It was a cliff with magma accumulated for countless ages underneath, roaring and bubbling. Even from afar, Andrius could feel the heat waves.About ten meters from the cliff was a suspended path in the air. It seemed like an escape route, and faint traces of aura were coming from it.Furthermore, there was a stone tab
