Rumble...A tentacle smashed into the ground. It was like a pillar supporting the sky collapsed, instantly creating a deep trench dozens of meters long.The wind howled, the earth shook, and dust filled the sky.Seeing this, everyone fled far away and watched the beast go berserk, not daring to approach.“Well done, Andrius!”“Andrius, good move!”“As expected of you, Andrius!”“Andrius...”Everyone felt relieved and recovered while sighing.Andrius also sat in the distance and started to heal.After another ten or so minutes...Boom...Unable to bear the chaos in its body any longer, the octopus exploded.In an instant, the Snow Sand Sea was turned into a sea of blood. Half the sky was shrouded in a layer of bloody mist, and the ground was covered with large and small pieces of flesh emitting a strong bloody smell.In the center of the explosion, a basketball-sized item exuding a majestic aura lay in the deep pit.It was the octopus monster’s internal pellet.The inter
“Something’s wrong.”As someone in the Great Progression stage, his senses were far more sensitive than the others present, and he noticed something off. “Something’s coming.”The others were shocked and started to look around.“Over there!”Someone shouted.Everyone looked over and was astonished.Countless black dots were merging with the wind, sweeping toward them.No! They were not black dots. They were countless and endless monsters!“Everyone, watch out!”“Brace yourselves!”“Form up!”The group became alert again.A moment later, the monsters were upon them.It was clear to everyone that it was a group of sea monsters.As the name suggested, they were supposedly monsters that lived in the sea. What were they doing in this barren wasteland?“I see now.”While everyone was puzzled, Gluttony explained, “This area must be like the Snow Sand Sea. It’s an independent space with its own rules and dangers.”Everyone’s hearts sank.Could there be another giant beast lik
The experts fell into thought at Andrius’ words.A moment later, Gluttony was the first to speak. “I think it’s feasible!”As he spoke, he took out his own Sky Genesis Sword which floated into the air.“Let’s give it a try.”Briar also summoned the three swords from the fiend tribe.Then, the Arcane Immortal Union and Draco clan also took out their swords.Whoosh—Sure enough, when the nine swords gathered, a tremendous change occurred.In an instant, the nine swords floated together, forming a strange array. Each sword emitted dazzling beams of light that connected the heavens and earth.Crack!Click, click...Under everyone’s gazes, the nine swords first condensed into three, and then the three finally combined into one!What appeared was a pure white light sword, pointing to the heavens with a vast aura.Whirr...With just a slight tremor of the sword, countless sea monsters around them turned to ashes immediately.At the same time, above the sky, where the sword poin
Crackle—The moment the sword was fully inserted, a bolt of lightning shot out from the keyhole, striking the expert.The fiend tribe expert swelled up and exploded, his internal pellet turning into nothing. In an instant, he was instantly reduced to ashes.At the same time, the Sky Genesis Sword was ejected with a swoosh.All this happened in the blink of an eye.Everyone was horrified and suddenly realized that the swords could not be inserted randomly.Instead, each sword corresponded to a specific keyhole. The Immortal Palace would only open if all the keys were matched correctly.A single mistake would result in the person inserting the sword facing the Immortal Palace’s divine punishment, leading to their body exploding.This time, everyone fell silent.“What now?”Gluttony’s gaze swept over everyone.“Perhaps...”Briar looked at everyone and said, “We can have each team send an expert forward in turns to test out the keyholes.”His words made everyone frown.What a
Boom!Before the Sky Genesis Sword in the beast could even get close, the beast exploded and turned into a cloud of bloody mist.“What...”“What happened?”“What’s going on?”The group was confused. However, Andrius did not answer and tried with a second beast.Boom!Boom!Boom!The results were the same.Whether Andrius controlled one beast or several, as soon as the beasts approached the Immortal Palace with a sword, it exploded without touching the keyhole, dying instantly.Everyone’s expressions darkened.Andrius frowned deeply.“What’s going on?”“Logically, beasts are living beings too. They’re no different from the fiend tribe expert before. Why is the result different?”“Yes, it shouldn’t be like this!”“Andrius, explain.”Everyone looked at Andrius expectantly.Andrius thought for a long time and said, “The only difference between the beasts and the fiend clan expert earlier is that beasts lack intelligence, but the fiend clan expert had achieved cultivation.
He had broken through from the early Darkness stage to the mid Darkness stage.“Andrius Moonshade, how dare you?! You used us to capture intelligent beasts to aid your cultivation! How audacious of you!”Cloud was the first to step forward, angrily accusing Andrius.“Andrius!”Briar was also angry. “You owe us an explanation!”“Andrius!”Lionel said furiously, “How dare you use us? Do you think we won’t kill you?”The experts were just about to attack Andrius.Then, a cold voice rang out.“Silence!”Gluttony recovered his energy and swept his gaze over the crowd with destructive intent. “If you have any other solutions, step up then. Otherwise, stay put and wait for Andrius’ results!”Cloud, Briar, and the others were indignant.However, faced with Gluttony’s dominance and lacking other methods, they had no choice but to comply.“Find, we’ll follow Andrius’ plan!”“Andrius, we await your success!”“Andrius, I hope your strategy works!”The group gave Andrius a deep look
On the other hand, Noir, Halle, Yvie, and the others were secretly delighted when they saw Andrius’ progress.Another one was Gluttony!When he first encountered Andrius half a month ago, the latter was only at the early Darkness stage. However, even then, he could already showcase the combat power of a mid Darkness stage expert.Now, in just half a month, he broke through to the late Darkness stage...It was simply unprecedented and astonishing.At least, Gluttony had never seen such rapid progress before.‘It seems my earlier gesture of goodwill toward Andrius was wise. From now on, I must strengthen our relationship.’ Gluttony thought to himself.As the crowd’s thoughts drifted, Andrius continued to control the remaining intelligent beasts.Soon, the second, third, and fourth locks were successfully paired with their Sky Genesis Swords after countless attempts.Whoosh...When the final sword was placed, the celestial gates opened, releasing bright lights that shone magnifi
Everyone was repelled by the restrictions and fell to the ground unceremoniously.“Even this stone stool has a restriction. How annoying.”“Ugh... Why? I just wanted to pick a plant...”“Damn it, this is infuriating...”The mighty figures cursed loudly without care for their image, and Andrius could not help but laugh.“Enough.”Gluttony said calmly, “These are just superficial things. The real treasures should be inside the main hall.”Everyone turned their eyes toward the bronze doors at the end of the corridor, their gazes burning once again.“Let’s go!”Immediately, the group set off eagerly.Gluttony, Andrius, and his group were no exception.Clang...The bronze doors opened, revealing the scene inside.A stone tablet!The thing that stood out the most was a stone tablet enveloped in clouds. It was the core control of the entire Sky Genesis Immortal Palace, also known as the palace stele!It was the Immortal Palace’s hub. Whoever refined it would control the entire
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!
