Briar scoffed. “In that case, why did you create a path that killed the high-level experts who came with us?”Gabriel and the others also stared at him coldly.However, Peyton explained expressionlessly, “I killed them to test your luck.“Luck may seem elusive, but it can change destiny at a critical moment. Without luck, it’s better to withdraw early.”No one expected Peyton to talk about a massacre so matter-of-factly. It was no wonder he provoked anger and faced retaliation five hundred years ago.However, the nature of cultivation went against the heavens, and seeking treasure and obtaining fate would indeed require luck. Thus, they all had to put their grudges aside temporarily.“Well, then.”Peyton glanced at everyone and extended his hand, summoning a long sword.The Sky Genesis Swords that were sent flying earlier all flew into the air, and just like that, the nine swords were gathered!The scene shook everyone, and they stared intently at the nine swords in the sky, a
Even after Andrius released all his punches, he did not pose any threat to Gluttony.On the contrary, when Gluttony struck his claw, cracks spread in the air before swiftly mending together. However, the sharp wind from the claws made Andrius’ face pale.“Divine Wanderer.”In an instant, Andrius slipped away and narrowly avoided the claw. Though, before he could rejoice, a fierce wind rose behind him. The claw was coming back!Boom!Andrius knew he could not dodge, so he turned around to strike with his palm. Energy, firm like a mountain, instantly collided with the claw.With a crisp sizzle, Andrius’ palm energy was torn apart. However, as the claw had also expended a considerable amount of energy, they canceled each other out in the end and disappeared together.Andrius asked in a low voice, “What is the meaning of this?”“Hahaha…”Gluttony laughed with a hint of admiration in his eyes. “Not bad. You may only be at the early Darkness stage, but you can withstand my attack. Y
“I won’t ask for much.”Gluttony said frankly, “As long as you aid my smooth passage through the Great Progression stage, I’ll promise you many requests. In fact, I will even give you a generous reward that the outside world will kill for.”Andrius was intrigued by the reward. After all, the reason he could progress so rapidly was largely because of the inheritance from the Mountain Sage.Speaking of which, the Mountain Sage was also in the Great Progression stage. If Gluttony was true to his word, Andrius could break through to a terrifying realm in a short time and do even more impossible things.“Okay.” Andrius agreed. “Since it’s a win-win situation, I have no reason to refuse.”“Smart decision.” A smile appeared on Gluttony’s face. “I’ll inform you of the specifics later. For now, prepare for the operation in half a month. Goodbye.”“Goodbye.”Gluttony’s figure flashed. When he appeared again, he was already dozens of meters away, and after several flashes, he had disappe
In just half a month, Andrius had progressed further. Coupled with the Mountain Sage’s profound techniques, he felt even more confident about the upcoming operation!“It’s time,” Andrius called out softly and awakened all his team members.Clarissa, Yvie, Halle, and Noir woke up from their meditative states. After a simple preparation, Andrius led the group to the previous gathering point.“Andrius.”“Andrius.”Briar, Cloud, Lionel, and the others greeted Andrius when they saw him.Andrius could tell that their injuries had healed and their spirits were particularly high. It was clear they had made ample preparations over the past half month.“Everyone is here.”Just then, a figure stood before the group. It was none other than the extremely powerful Gluttony, Peyton Skyseeker.Feeling his intimidation, everyone tensed.Peyton smiled and walked to Andrius. “Andrius, I didn’t expect your strength to improve significantly in just half a month. Your soul is so pure and powerful
Andrius’s heart skipped a beat when he learned that the item Gluttony gave him was an internal pellet capable of hurting Gluttony himself, and such sincerity surprised him.He could not help but ponder. It seemed Gluttony’s previous statement about wanting to cooperate with him was not a lie.“However…”Seeing Andrius’ reaction, Lionel suggested, “Andrius, you can’t fully utilize the potential of this internal pellet with your current strength, so why don’t you give me that internal pellet in exchange for a treasure from the Draco clan?“I have a pearl that will allow you to move in water as easily as walking on land, a sword that will make your sword energy more lethal and destructive, or an armor made from silkworms from the far north that offers remarkable protection against true vitality. It’s a rare treasure. I also have…”Lionel listed out one treasure after another and explained the details of each treasure to Andrius. However, Andrius was unmoved.All he did was glance at
Lionel’s expression froze as he watched Andrius walk away.As the leader of the Draco clan, it was the first time he was refused, especially in a situation where he was confident he could succeed.“That Moonshade boy wasn’t tempted by treasure. He sure is a formidable enemy.”Lionel shook his head and hurried to catch up.Along the way, Andrius was about to rejoin the main group when a figure appeared beside him. It was Gluttony.“Not bad, Andrius. I like you a lot.” Gluttony spoke candidly, not hiding his admiration.He had been watching Andrius’ actions closely. The internal pellet involved his safety, so Gluttony did not dare to leave it unchecked. Thus, he was finally relieved when he saw Andrius’ behavior.Andrius smiled. “Since you entrusted me with your internal pellet as a gesture of sincerity, how could I commit such a despicable act as to betray it?”“Hahaha…”Pleased, Gluttony laughed. “Well said! Andrius, Lionel was willing to exchange a top-grade fiend weapon, I w
“Unfortunately, if I’m not mistaken, that old guy probably passed away a hundred years ago.”Passed away...So, there was no one left in the world who could refine supreme-grade immortal artifacts?Andrius’ excitement significantly dampened.“Andrius.”Seeing this, Gluttony comforted him, “It’s okay. The cultivation world is vast and full of hidden talents. Even I don’t dare to claim to know it all. Perhaps there’s a master in some secluded mountain or hidden paradise. I’ll help you find them.”Andrius felt relieved by the assurance and nodded. “Thank you.”Then, the group continued their journey toward their destination.The Barren Land was endless. Even for a cultivator like Andrius, there was still no end in sight after a long time of flying on his sword.After a while, a patch of blinding white appeared in their sights.“To think there’s such a landscape in the Barren Land... It’s truly shocking.” Andrius could not help but exclaim when he saw the amazing scene.“Don’t m
Before Andrius and the others could feel relieved, Gluttony said seriously, “Everyone, the monsters that just came were only small fry. I can sense an even stronger beast hidden whose aura rivals my own. We should pass through quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.”Everyone agreed.“Indeed.”“Let’s move quickly.”“The Snow Sand Sea is mysterious and full of danger. We shouldn’t linger.”With that, the group sped deeper into the area.“Ah!”Suddenly, a scream echoed through the Snow Sand Sea.A demonic sect expert in the front was struck by a tentacle that appeared from the snow sand, exploding into a cloud of blood and vanishing without a trace!“Hiss—”Everyone could not help but gasp.That expert was in the late Hollow stage and was one of the stronger members of the group. He was renowned throughout the cultivation world.However, before the mysterious tentacle, he was obliterated without any chance to resist.That level of power was enough to shock everyone.Boom!Cr
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!
