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
“I offer a fiend core from a mid-stage Aureate Immortal.”“I offer...”Various voices filled the air.After all, a mid Aureate Immortal stage battle puppet was incredibly powerful and would never betray its master. It was incredibly useful whether for self-defense or to escape in critical moments.It was an invaluable treasure.Andrius took out a treasure, too. “I offer a partial cultivation manual that can temporarily raise one’s realm by a small level if cultivated to the Great Progression stage. Even a mid-stage Aureate Immortal can be boosted to a late-stage Aureate Immortal.”Those words caused a stir among the crowd.There were many techniques that could raise strength. However, techniques that could be used at the Aureate Immortal stage were rare.After all, the more one advanced, the harder it was to progress. The leap from the mid and late Aureate Immortal stage was a massive gap.It would be enough to help many experts survive the life-or-death tribulation.In terms
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!
