”Roar!”Just as the Phoenix Bell rang out, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly resounded in Andrius’ mind.At the same time, a dragon apparition appeared, lunging at the Phoenix apparition in his consciousness.The ancient Phoenix never anticipated Andrius’ body to contain the soul fragment of a dragon. Forced to retreat, it quickly exited his body.After driving back the Phoenix’s soul, the dragon coiled around Andrius, forming a powerful barrier that also ignited with blazing flames.These were the flames unique to dragons—true dragon fire.It was what Ophelia left to him.After the true dragon fire appeared, it immediately countered the Phoenix’s true fire outside, creating a standoff between the two mighty flames.The confrontation was intense, filling the air with sharp, crackling sounds.After a brief moment, the ancient Phoenix saw the source of the divine dragon apparition and sneered. “How dare a mere divine dragon fragment challenge me? Today, I’ll reduce you to ashe
“The Phoenix Divine Plume...”The person recalled and explained, “As the name suggests, it’s the wings of the ancient Phoenix transformed after its death. Its power and uses are limitless.“I noticed you carry wolf blood inside you, so you should be able to integrate this item for your own use. Senior, you saved my life. With nothing else to repay you, I offer you this information as a form of gratitude.”The Phoenix Divine Plume...It indeed sounded incredibly powerful.Andrius nodded and said, “Lead the way. I’ll take a look.”“Let’s go.”Not long after, he led Andrius to a side hall.He briefly introduced, “There was originally a restriction set by the ancient Phoenix here. I triggered it and ended up being enslaved by the Phoenix. However, since you already destroyed the ancient Phoenix’s spirit, it should be safe.”Andrius cautiously entered.Whoosh...Sure enough, the next moment, a Phoenix apparition flew toward him.However, Andrius clearly sensed that the apparitio
“The Immortal Demon Palace...”Charles’ eyes narrowed slightly, a clear glint flashing within them.A few seconds later, he said, “I do know of that place. The Immortal Demon Palace is located in a forbidden space at the border between the Immortal Realm and the Demonic Realm. It only appears once every ten thousand years and remains dormant at all other times. No matter how many cultivators search for it, they won’t find it.”Andrius’s heart tightened.It only opened once every ten thousand years. If the timing was not right, that would be a problem.Before he could ask, Charles continued, “According to the rules of the Upper Realm, every time the Immortal Demon Palace opens, the top forces each get three slots to enter. Celestial Blade Sect just so happens to be one of those forces. If you wish to enter, we can arrange it.”That was great news.Andrius nodded. “Thank you, Charles. However, why does what you said differ from what I’ve read in the archive?”According to his mem
Crack!The next second, Andrius gritted his teeth and controlled a strand of pure immortal essence, forming a blade and forcefully chopping off the base.With a crisp sound, the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix wings loosened significantly.The sound continued as Andrius hacked again and again.Each strike inflicted excruciating pain, causing him to sweat profusely. His veins bulged as his body trembled uncontrollably.Finally, after a dozen hacks, the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix wings were completely disconnected from the bone, and Andrius pulled it out inch by inch. The process was bloody and shocking, but Andrius did not care.Before the wound could heal, he immediately attached the Phoenix Divine Plume, using the Phoenix’s true fire to sear the connection.This pain was even more excruciating than before.Earlier, it was like cutting his flesh with a dull knife.Now, it was like being burned alive.However, Andrius had to endure it to merge with the Phoenix Divine Plume.Time passed
The next second, a figure appeared in the hall like a ghost.He was dignified and handsome—It was none other than Andrius.“Andrius.”Charles was surprised. “Weren’t you in seclusion? Why are you suddenly here?”Andrius glanced at Elise and the others and chuckled. “Someone wants to challenge me. I can’t just hide away like a coward. I naturally have to come out and face them.”Charles, Elise, and the others nodded.That was right.Cultivators valued their reputations.“Are you the one who helped Celestial Blade Sect? Charles mentioned you?” Xavier glanced at Andrius and said disdainfully.“I wondered how good you were, but you look normal.”When analyzing Andrius, he used his unique methods to sense Andrius’ strength.What he concluded was that Andrius was not that strong. At least, he did not feel any dangerous aura.Unbeknownst to him, Andrius had been using an artifact to suppress his cultivation until his divine tribulation. Unless someone was stronger than him, they c
“However, that level of skill might not be enough.”“That’s right...”Although the ordinary cultivators did not know Andrius’ strength, they knew Charles was on friendly terms with him, so he must be extraordinary.Swoosh—The next second, the sword energy whistled through the air and appeared in front of Andrius.Just as Harold was feeling smug, Andrius moved with a thought and appeared dozens of meters away, perfectly dodging the strike.“Dodging? Let’s see how long you can keep that up!”Harold snorted coldly and aimed his fingers. The sword energy split in two, chasing after Andrius from the front and back.However, to his surprise...Swoosh—Andrius easily dodged both sword energies.“Again!”Harold did not give up, splitting the two into four, and the four into eight!The eight sword energies rampaged in the air, surrounding Andrius from all sides.However, the results were the same.Andrius effortlessly avoided each attack with just a slight display of speed.Thi
“A god?”Xavier and the others sneered at the word.“We’re all immortals. Why are you pretending to be a god? Yes, your strength is impressive and far beyond what we imagined, but you’re far from qualified to claim yourself as a god! If you’re a god, then we’ll defy the heavens today and slay the god! “Attack!”The next second, Xavier and his subordinates suddenly dispersed.The dozens of people seemed to scatter and form a strange formation with a mysterious connection to each other.It was clear they intended to gang up on Andrius.Seeing this, Charles, Elise, and the others could not hold back anymore.How dare they gang up on Andrius in their territory?Swoosh!Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—The next second, the Celestial Blade Sect experts also rushed forward.“Andrius, I’ll help you!”“Andrius, don’t worry.”“Andrius...”If it were a fair fight, Charles and the others would not intervene so easily.However, since Xavier and the others were clearly planning to gang up, t
Seeing the grand sword, Charles and the others could not help but turn their heads.The Celestial Blade Sect mainly practiced sword cultivation. Since Xavier and the others were also sword cultivators, they could all tell the might of this strike.While their expressions turned slightly serious when they saw this strike, that was all. The strike was indeed powerful for them, but it did not mean much to Andrius.Sure enough, just as the sword energy was about to fall, Andrius suddenly gave a soft shout.“Freeze!”As soon as his voice fell, an invisible ripple spread out and filled every corner of the space. The powerful laws of time manifested, slowing time down.Xavier and the others could not understand what had happened.All they saw was Andrius reaching out to grab the slow-moving sword energy in the air, casually swallowing it, and letting out a satisfied burp.“T-That can’t be. That’s impossible!”“That’s the Carter clan’s most powerful technique. How could this happen?
