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
Andrius glanced around and said, “Let’s look around first.”“Okay.”With that, the two began to explore the vast underground space, and it was not before long they discovered something.The surroundings of the hall had obvious signs of human craftsmanship. There were carvings of simple totems on the rock walls and unknown symbols engraved on the floor. Everything suggested that the place was not as it looked.Andrius even guessed that the final Sky Genesis Sword might be hidden here. However, he did not know where exactly.“Yvie, did you find anything?” Andrius looked at Yvie beside him.Yvie shook her head in confusion. “From what I can see, this place looks like a sealed space. But if it’s sealed, how did we get in? It means there must be something hidden that we haven’t discovered yet.”Andrius raised his brows and thought that was true. However, he had no idea where the mechanism was.“Over there!”While Andrius was looking around, Yvie suddenly pointed at a spot on the ro
That voice was loud yet eerie, like that of a baby yet carrying a sinister and odd charm.As everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, a huge figure appeared in their sights. Everyone, including Andrius, was stunned when they saw the creature’s true form.Towering above them, it had a human face on a goat’s body with monstrous eyes under its armpits, sharp teeth, and drool occasionally dripping from its mouth.“That’s…” Visibly shaken, Briar cried hoarsely, “Gluttony!”“Yes, it’s Gluttony!”“I can’t believe Gluttony himself is here. It’s truly unbelievable!”The others were also shocked.Gluttony was one of the Four Calamities alongside Chaos, Depravity, and Ignorance, and it already possessed extraordinary talents in its youth. Among the Four Calamities, Gluttony stood out for its greed and desire. According to legend, once Gluttony matured, its unparalleled ferocity could devour the earth. It would possess unfathomable ability and could create or destroy w
Each strand had the full power of the Darkness stage. If combined, they would have the power to kill a god.Even from a distance, Andrius could perceive the terror of those techniques. However, Peyton simply folded his arms behind his back without concern.“How arrogant!”Enraged, Cloud unleashed his true vitality, causing thousands of threads to emit a dazzling light, even brighter than before. He was before Peyton in an instant, just about to strike.“Hiss!”At that moment, Peyton suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath, sucking all the silk threads into his stomach. Then, while Cloud was horrified, he burped.“Is this the technique you’re renowned for in the cultivation world?” Peyton’s nonchalant tone carried a hint of disdain.“It’s nothing much.”Then, he attacked with his palm. A powerful palm print appeared in the air, enveloping Cloud completely.Bam!Cloud was sent flying backward, and as he crashed into the rock wall behind, he coughed up a mouthful of blo
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!
