Fortunately, that was only the time that Andrius felt. Since time passed a hundred times slower in there, only a few hours had passed outside, and it was not a big deal.In the past half month, Andrius had figured out the mysterious uses of the Chronos Stone.For one, he could make it drain one strength. However, it would also affect him, just like when he fought the turtle. Secondly, it contained the profound laws of time and needed a long time to comprehend. Assuming that he might only be able to fully comprehend it in the Divine Realm and not the Immortal Realm, Andrius quickly surfaced after recovering his strength. On the surface of the Blackwater River, a brand new giant shit floated on the water. It was a ship from Blackwater City that had come to rescue the people. Everyone on board had been transferred to it, while the originally damaged boat was towed behind for repair or scrapping.At that moment, everyone was searching for Andrius, but as time passed, their hope
Everyone gasped when they heard that.The fact that he managed to kill the two-headed turtle that nearly capsized the ship and mastered the skill of traversing the Blackwater River was impressive.The group immediately felt great admiration for him.“What a true hero. Your strength is formidable. I’m deeply impressed!”“Yes, indeed.”“How powerful. I’ve only heard of fiends causing trouble but never of anyone diving into the Blackwater River to slay one.”“Friend, thank you for saving our lives.”Everyone showed immense respect for Andrius. Firstly, it was because of his formidable strength, and secondly, it was because he saved everyone! If not for Andrius, many of them would have fallen into the Blackwater River and died.Following Andrius’ return, the captain gave the order to set off. Soon, the ship docked at the pier outside of Blackwater City, and the group entered the city.Andrius also intended to enter, but a figure blocked his path. It was the girl he had saved earli
“He wielded a spear and voluntarily jumped into the Blackwater River to slay the troublesome two-headed turtle. He even came back unscathed. When he boarded the ship…”Morgan and his group described the situation that happened. They even mentioned Andrius’ followers.“According to you, this person is extremely powerful, so he must have a background.” Tristan said in a low voice, “However, the importance of the Chronos Stone can’t be underestimated. We must obtain it at all costs.“In this case, try not to confront him directly. If a normal trade is possible, obtain the Chronos Stone through bartering. But if it doesn’t work, don’t hesitate to take action. Understand?”“Yes!” the black-robed men in the inn responded in unison.In Blackwater Inn, Andrius had no idea that his small act had revealed much information and attracted the attention of another party.He sat cross-legged on the bed. Suspended in mid-air was the fist-sized Chronos Stone that was emitting ripples in the air.
Of course, starting over in cultivation was not entirely a bad thing. Their cultivation speed would improve, and once they reached the later stages, their strength would surpass that of human cultivators in the same realm.At that point, they would also use human cultivation levels.If they chose not to transform, they could continue cultivating and possess extremely powerful bodies.The only downside was that they would still retain their beastly nature. Their souls would be weaker than human cultivators, and their lack of intelligence would also make them susceptible to scheming.They could even end up as battle pets for humans.For example, the two-headed turtle did not transform into a human, so it fought fiercely with Andrius and ended up defeated.As for a Demon Monarch, it was the result of cultivators undergoing demonization.For example, going into deviation could drastically change one’s temperament and make them devoid of reason.If such cultivators survived, they wo
The auction house manager briefly explained the rules and instructed, “Those who wish to enter must first come and test their strength against the stone. Form a line and take turns.”Immediately, the crowd formed a long line.Andrius saw a familiar face in the line. The girl who gave him the pendant was also in the queue.She gestured at someone beside her to queue up.“Level three.”“Level five.”“Level four.”As the manager called out the results, the tested participants received a token and entered to take their seats.Soon, it was the girl’s turn.She wore white robes and a headscarf. The way she walked was elegant, and she was very calm during the test.Andrius had a feeling she was skilled.She stepped forward to the giant stone, bent her waist slightly, then suddenly exerted force and struck the stone with a punch.Rumble...The giant stone flew off and crashed to the ground with a loud sound, far beyond the distance made by previous participants. She was also the f
Cedric’s words made sense, and Andrius agreed.Many people gathered at the auction, and there were countless experts and forces aiming to seize the Soul Renewal Fruit.Even if he managed to win the bid, if he did not have enough strength, it might attract the covetous eyes of others.It would be better to make a powerful display now and intimidate the crowd.With that thought, Andrius slowly began to charge his strength.“That kid is putting on airs. Does he think he can hit the stone further by doing that?”“Judging by his appearance, he can’t be over a thousand years old. I bet he won’t reach level five.”“Level five? You’re overestimating him. He’ll reach level three at most!”“Haha, I agree.”“Look, he’s about to strike!”The surrounding people waiting for their turn pointed at Andrius and discussed.They had nothing else to do and treated it as entertainment.Andrius ignored them.After a brief charge, he struck out with a punch like a dragon emerging from the sea, fa
Morgan transmitted, “We should devise a new plan...”At the same time, the girl that Andrius saved before was also shocked.“Miss, we can consider contacting him to join forces against the people of the Dark Star.”An elder behind her transmitted a message.“The girl’s name was Elise Carter. She was from a major force—the Celestial Blade Sect, which had always been at odds with the people from Dark Star. Coincidentally, Dark Star had also come.”Thus, the elder behind her offered that suggestion.“I know.”Elise replied softly and led her team to their seats.Not long after, the test was over, and everyone entered the auction.Of course, the result was clear. Andrius’ punch that shattered the testing stone naturally placed him in the most prestigious private room.The experts under Elise also ranked among the top seven, securing a room.Furthermore, the black-robed group from Dark Star, the faction opposing Elise’s Celestial Blade Sect, also secured a room.“Fellow cultivat
Andrius’ eyes could not help but widen.He never imagined that attending an auction would result in encountering Senior Yule’s corpse up for sale...“Senior Yule...”Andrius wanted to comfort Cedric but did not know what to say.“I’m fine.”Cedric shook his head, the intensity in his eyes slowly calming down.However, Andrius knew that a calm Cedric was even more repressed.“But...”Cedric frowned slightly. His gaze grew more puzzled as he stared at the corpse. “When I failed my tribulation back then, my body should’ve been blown into pieces by the Divine Realm. How could my corpse have been preserved in such an intact manner?”Cedric thought out loud. Not even he could figure out the answer to that question, let alone Andrius.Whoosh...The next second, he immediately released his soul energy to investigate.Soon, he retracted his soul energy, and his expression became even more solemn.“So?”“That corpse isn’t my complete body.”Cedric’s voice carried a suppressed ange
