“Now that you know, you shall die!”Without wasting more time, Andrius channeled all his immortal essence into the Linebreaker Overlord and combined it with the heavenly fire, unleashing his most powerful attack.Swoosh… The spear cut through space and appeared before Greywolf, aiming right between his eyes.“You…”Enveloped in Andrius’ powerful killing intent, the already-weakened Greywolf could only hastily form a barrier of immortal energy for defense. However, that defense was futile against the Linebreaker Overlord.With just one thrust, Andrius pierced through his head.“You… You’ll pay for this…”Greywolf grinned sinisterly before falling to the ground.That was because, at the last moment, he had sent the message about Andrius possessing immortal blood to the Etherium Immortal Lord. Once the Immortal Lord got involved, Andrius would be doomed.“I’ll pay? You won’t live to see that day!”Andrius snorted and twisted the spear, ensuring Greywolf was dead.At the Ether
Meanwhile, after killing Greywolf, Andrius searched his storage ring and tried to erase the rune mark again. However, his efforts were in vain.The mark remained in his dantian like it had taken root; it could not be expelled. As such, Andrius had no choice but to give up.Then, he returned to the inn in Dragonspire as fast as he could. The inn had returned to its usual calm, and Aria was hiding in a corner in disguise and wearing a hat.“Come out. I’m not inside anymore!” Andrius transmitted a message to Aria from outside.Aria was stunned for a moment but quickly came out of the inn to meet Andrius in a small forest.“Geez…”Aria looked at him reproachfully. “Where did you go? Were you planning to abandon me?”Andrius rolled his eyes. “If I wanted to run away, would I have returned for you? The Etherium Immortal Lord’s experts caught up to us earlier. I had to lure them away.”“What?”Aria’s clear eyes widened in shock. “We traveled such a long distance. How did they catch u
Perhaps Luna wanting to be with her grandmother was the same as Andrius wanting to find Luna. Those were things that had to be done no matter how difficult it was.Andrius replied solemnly, “Okay, I promise you.”Then, he raised his hand and swore, “I, Andrius Moonshade, swear an oath that I will do everything in my power to escort Ms. Aria Yandell safely to Mistveil City.”His calm voice trembled a little, for it was Andrius’ immortal consciousness making an oath with the heavens, and Aria was instantly relieved.After that, the two tried to head outside. However, as soon as they saw the city gates, they stopped. It was because the city gates were under strict martial law, and anyone wishing to leave had to be questioned and even have their aura scanned. On top of that, the person in charge of the scanning was a mid-Heavenly Immortal stage expert, which made things difficult for Andrius and Aria. Although immortals could easily change their appearance, it was difficult to do t
“You two…”One of them looked sly but was the strongest among the three, known as Sentinel Wormtail.He looked at the two with glowing green eyes and snorted. “Come here.”Andrius and Aria exchanged a glance before walking over obediently.Whoosh… Wormtail emitted a beam of light that enveloped Andrius and Aria—it was a method to probe their auras. Soon, he realized their auras were different from the two they were hunting.Thus, he grunted in displeasure, “You can go.”Andrius and Aria quickly walked toward the city outskirts with relief. However, before they could get far… “You two... A man and a woman. You fit the Immortal Lord’s targets and are acting suspiciously. It must be them! Seize them!” Wormtail shouted.Swoosh!The two other Sentinels immediately took action and restrained them.“We’re innocent…”The man immediately knelt and pleaded, “High Immortal, we’re innocent. We’ve lived in Dragonspire for generations and have never defied the Immortal Lord. Please inv
Wormtail laughed in triumph. “Who would’ve thought you would refuse to take the road to heaven but charge into the gates of hell? All of you, get her!”Immediately, the three surrounded Aria from different directions, preventing her from escaping.“Hmph… If you want to catch me, show me what you’ve got!”Aria snorted and waved her sleeve, releasing a cloud of mist.The mist quickly spread into the sky, turning the area hazy and chaotic. Not only did it obscure people’s vision, but it also blocked the perception of immortal consciousness.“Go!”Aria took advantage of the moment to lead the couple away.“Damn it. It’s an illusion fog!”“Quick, use the fan to blow it away.”“Hurry! We can’t let her escape again.”The three Sentinels hurriedly took an immortal artifact fan and began waving it until the mist Aria released gradually dispersed.At the same time, they spread out like lightning, searching in all directions. In just three seconds, they had locked onto the direction Ar
“Quick!”Without the time to think, the two Sentinels sent out their signals. Andrius wanted to use the chance to escape with Aria, but he was one step too slow.Swoosh!The two surrounded Andrius front and back. They stood ten meters away and did not approach. It was clear that they intended to stall Andrius instead of fight him because Andrius’ impressive strike earlier made them wary.“I’m sorry…” Aria apologized to Andrius upon seeing the situation.“Now’s not the time for that. We need to break through and escape.” Andrius kept his eyes on the two and responded without looking back.After that, he charged at Wormtail with his Linebreaker Overlord. “Be careful not to get hurt.”“You have a death wish!”Wormtail roared in fury when Andrius targeted him and summoned a giant rat apparition above his head. The rat’s head was enormous and spanned dozens of meters. It looked ferocious and exuded a powerful pressure.“Squeak, squeak…”The rat apparition screeched and shot out a
Andrius could also sense a chilling aura rapidly approaching from behind that contained an overwhelming might.They were here—the remaining six Sentinels had arrived!Swoosh!Andrius instinctively dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the six’s attack. However, that dodge also caused him to lose his best chance to kill the two Sentinels.“Let’s go!” Andrius immediately called out to Aria and was about to leave.“Do you think you can escape?”A cold voice sounded, and together with the two earlier, the six Sentinels stopped them from all directions.Andrius instantly paled. After all, those Sentinel were late-stage Heavenly Immortals! How was he supposed to contend with that?Before he could move, the eight Sentinels created an impenetrable barrier, trapping Andrius and Aria inside.“Kid, you killed our fellow Sentinel. It’s time you meet your end!”The leader, Gaius, stared at Andrius with murderous intent.Andrius’ eyes narrowed, but he did not say anything. Instead, he b
The eight Sentinels worked efficiently.Half an hour later, the same news spread everywhere in the Etherium Immortal Lord’s sphere of influence—Aria Yandell, from the Lower Realm, had been captured and locked up in the Immortal Pool to be tortured day and night.Meanwhile, Andrius had been monitoring the situation in hiding, so he easily learned of that news. However, he knew it was a trap to force him to reveal himself and walk into said trap.Since the Etherium Immortal Lord wanted the news released, it meant he was prepared and was just waiting for Andrius to take the bait.“Damn it…” Andrius sighed.In any case, Aria was in the Upper Realm because of him, and he only managed to escape because of her ability to shatter space. Abandoning her would weigh heavily on his conscience and affect his cultivation, so he had to save her.However, the rune on his body was like a beacon in the dark, allowing the Etherium Immortal Lord to lock onto him constantly, making it nearly impossib
