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
Andrius changed his aura, appearance, and voice before approaching the perimeter of the Immortal Pool to observe the situation.After a day and night of observation, he confirmed that the Etherium Immortal Lord himself was not present. However, there were still powerful presences monitoring the area.It further confirmed Andrius’ suspicions that it was a trap and they were setting bait to lure him in. On top of that, guards were openly stationed at key entrances to the pool.“Baiting me, huh?”Andrius narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold. Then, he headed toward one of the guarded entrances. The guard on duty was only at the early Heavenly Immortal stage and was not that powerful. A stream of light appeared behind him, swift as lightning. It was none other than Andrius.With his hand raised, Andrius beheaded the guard with the Linebreaker Overlord and transformed to look exactly like the guard. He even merged with a trace of the guard’s aura to make it more convincing.After that, h
“Andrius Moonshade, you can’t run!”The Etherium Immortal Lord looked at Andrius, his eyes shining brightly.Andrius was shocked and furious.Aria betrayed him?How could this have happened?Andrius instinctively looked at Aria.Aria had a vacant expression. After sensing Andrius’ gaze, she turned her lifeless eyes toward him.There was a faint bloody hue flashing in her eyes, and Andrius finally understood.Aria was being controlled by the Etherium Immortal Lord through a soul-binding technique. She was no longer Aria but merely a puppet of the Etherium Immortal Lord.It was no wonder Andrius felt that the defenses of the Immortal Pool were weak despite appearing tight.The Etherium Immortal Lord would not have been that careless.It seemed that Andrius was the one who had been careless!The cost of this was severe.The Etherium Immortal Lord was Primal Immortal, and there were eight Sentinels each in the Heavenly Immortal realm...It was indeed a formidable lineup!Wit
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!
