“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
“Immortal blood! It really is immortal blood!”Seeing this, the Etherium Immortal Lord subconsciously gulped.Who could resist the temptation of immortal blood?The capture mission in the Lower Realm unexpectedly brought a special being with immortal blood. How valuable!The Etherium Immortal Lord was extremely pleased.At that moment, a strange change occurred.Sizzle...The immortal blood on Andrius’ chest began to boil and slowly seeped back into his body.At the same time, there were sounds coming from inside Andrius’ body as well.It turned out that the boiling immortal blood had triggered the immortal blood in Andrius’ body as well.Whoosh...As the immortal blood boiled, powerful auras rose from Andrius’ body and grew stronger.It went from the early Heavenly Immortal stage to the mid-stage, and then to the late Heavenly Immortal stage!He had ascended two minor realms.“Hiss.”The Etherium Immortal Lord grew even more excited.Just by burning a little, the immor
With that, Andrius raised his spear again, letting out a roar.“Tyrant’s Ascendance!”At his shout, the supreme-grade immortal artifact seemed to sense its master’s plight and let out a hum, shining even brighter.The next second, the glow formed into a dragon, rampaging across the battlefield and blocking many attacks for Andrius.Thanks to Andrius’ enhanced strength, he could fight evenly with the Sentinels.For a while, the battle was at a stalemate.However, after several rounds, the Sentinels’ speed of attacks began to show signs of weakening. The immortal essence in their bodies was finally running low.Their speed also decreased drastically, and the might of their attacks was lowered!On the other hand, despite Andrius using even more energy, his body continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy due to his immortal blood.The pure immortal essence scattered on the battlefield from the explosions was absorbed by him, and his immortal blood burned continually.
This blood was crimson and exuded a scent that even experts like the Etherium Immortal Lord could not dispel. It was initially thought to be an extremely powerful liquid. Unfortunately, countless years of research yielded no significant results.In the end, the people of the Immortal Realm could only admit they were wrong.It was just ordinary blood.“Let’s start!”The Etherium Immortal Lord ordered and floated beside Andrius.Then, he sliced Andrius’ wrist with his hand.Swoosh...The next second, the immortal blood in Andrius’ body gushed out like a flood.The Etherium Immortal Lord immediately caught it, not missing a single drop. At the same time, he injected beast blood into Andrius’ body.Time slowly passed.The Immortal blood in Andrius’ body continuously flowed out and was replaced by beast blood. The inhumane torture made the gravely injured Andrius wake up and faint repeatedly.This continued for an unknown amount of time.“Done! There’s no more immortal blood l
