“Overall, the Upper Realm is above the cultivation realm, but they’re not that different. It’s just a more extensive, vast, and mysterious world.“The Upper Realm is also divided into the Immortal Realm, Demonic Realm, and Fiend Realms, and there are some other mysterious and unpredictable places. There are also just as many levels of cultivation.“For example, the sequence of cultivation for the Immortal Realm is High Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Primal Immortal, Arcane Immortal, and Aureate Immortal.“They correspond to the High Demon, Heavenly Demon, Arcane Demon, Demon King, and Demon Monarch of the Demonic Realm.“Meanwhile, for the Fiend Realm, they’re the High Fiend, Heavenly Fiend, Arcane Fiend, Fiend King, and Fiend Monarch.”Andrius took note of all the information. If he could not find Luna in the cultivation world, he would eventually go to the Upper Realm, and such knowledge might come in handy then.However, Andrius soon thought of a problem. Since the Immortal, Dem
As if he had noticed Andrius’ confusion, Gluttony explained, “Of course, it’s not as simple as you think. The barriers between the Upper and Lower Realms are difficult to break through. Even extraordinary experts have to pay a heavy price to open the path for a short time.“Even if some forces or groups are capable of the methods I mentioned earlier, they have to pay a considerable price. So, they will only open up shortcuts for the most outstanding geniuses of their forces.”At that, Andrius’ expression improved. If ordinary cultivators toiled for hundreds of years to ascend while others succeeded effortlessly, it would naturally stir envy.Andrius then went over the information again. In general, as an independent cultivator without a sect, he could only ascend to the Upper Realm through the Creation Mountain.As of now, his strength was already at the late Darkness stage, which was only one step away from the Great Progression stage. If he continued to refine the true vitality l
Gluttony glanced at Andrius and asked, “How do you think we should split it, Andrius?”After thinking it through, Andrius responded, “Since we’re the main forces in the treasure hunt, how about this? We’ll take 30 percent each, and the remaining four factions will take 10 percent each. How does that sound?”Gluttony naturally had no objections. “I agree!”“What…”Many people remained from the four factions, and for each faction to be able to take 10 percent only was too little!Of course, it may not sound like a lot in terms of proportions, but 10 percent of the total treasures was pretty generous.“Gluttony! Andrius!”A member of the Draco clan stepped forward to argue. “It’s unfair you two get to take 60 percent and leave us with only 40 percent combined!”Many others immediately echoed his sentiment.“That’s right. It’s unfair!”“No, our four factions should take 20 percent each, and you both will take 20 percent.”“Why should we have so little?”“I refuse to accept this
“I agree!”“I concur!”“If it’s 10 percent, so be it. We have no objections!”The people soon succumbed in the face of absolute strength.“Hmph.” Gluttony snorted before retracting his pressure.Then, under Andrius and Gluttony’s guidance, the treasures were distributed. The individually listed treasures naturally went to the two unless they were of little use, in which they were left to the four factions to divide.A third of the remaining secret manuals, pills, immortal artifacts, and so on were also taken by Andrius and Gluttony before they were passed on to the four factions. The treasures were so abundant that distributing everything took nearly half an hour.After the treasure repository was emptied, a teleportation array appeared again at the end. It was undoubtedly the exit.Satisfied with what they got, the four forces left with the treasures. Gluttony, however, went up to Andrius.“Andrius, with these treasures and resources, I can ascend through the tribulation wi
After a moment, only Andrius was left in the vast Immortal Palace. Without making a show of it, he found a place to sit down cross-legged and started to cultivate.This time, Andrius had no more worries and plenty of time. Thus, he cultivated all the secret techniques passed down from the Mountain Sage and the secret arts he obtained from the treasure repository that suited him.That seclusion lasted longer than any other. Several years passed, and Andrius finally mastered all the secret techniques. However, something puzzled Andrius.Although the descriptions of those techniques made them out to be powerful and lethal, they always seemed to be lacking something when he performed them.Andrius could not figure it out. He tried various methods and guesses, but they were all disproven, leaving him at a loss for what to do. After another year of attempts, Andrius decided not to keep at it any longer. He began wandering around the Immortal Palace, intending to organize it before retu
Swoosh!This time, the puppet warrior launched a punch in mid-air.The punch was imbued with apparitions of the four beasts. The dragon flew, the tiger roared, the bird soared, and the tortoise defended, but altogether, the apparitions dashed toward Andrius.In the distance, the world-destroying force compressed the space around Andrius, inch by inch, and it was terrifying. It was another ultimate technique—the Four Beasts Supreme Fist.Andrius found himself even more shocked, for that was one of the top ten techniques in the treasure repository, and it was overpowering.“Sky Genesis Cosmos Guide!”Prepared this time, Andrius immediately used an ultimate technique from the Sky Genesis Arts. Vigorous true vitality formed an octagon in front of Andrius, spinning faster and faster.When the puppet warrior’s punch arrived, it was immediately drawn into the octagon, which dissipated much of its force while exploding with increasing power.In the end, the octagon neutralized the p
The puppet warrior gave Andrius a chance to catch his breath after each attack before it continued attacking.When the puppet warrior had displayed all its ultimate skills, Andrius had also countered them with all the techniques in the Sky Genesis Arts.Crack!Suddenly, the puppet warrior stood still. While staring deeply at Andrius, the flames on its body began to fade and eventually extinguished.As for the puppet warrior itself, it burned to ashes and dissipated into nothingness. It left only the ancient ring suspended mid-air, emitting a faint light.“Huh?”Although Andrius did not understand what was going on, he reached out to take the ring. He tried to probe into the ring using his divine consciousness but failed, so he put the ring on his finger. He mimicked what the puppet warrior did and gathered his true vitality, applying it to the ring.Whoosh… Andrius suddenly felt a faint layer of real flames around his body. It was the heavenly fire! Then, he cast an ultima
In Kiyoto.Andrius did not look for Belarus immediately but went to the Lycan Manor instead.The Lycan Manor was famous in Florence. It was known as the strongest force in the nation, with many cultivation realm experts stationed there both in the Divine and Martial Realm.Talented young people from all over Florence were proud to join the Lycan Manor, and it had become the pillar and lynchpin that stabilized Florence!No one could match it, and no one could rival it!Swoosh...A figure suddenly appeared outside the Lycan Manor and strode forward.It was none other than Andrius.“Halt! This is the Lycan manor. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please show your invitation.”The guards stopped Andrius outside the gate, speaking politely.Andrius looked over.The guards of the Lycan Manor had changed several times over the course of Andrius seclusion in the Immortal Palace. Now, they were all in the Golden Core stage, and they did not recognize him.“Invitation?
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!
