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?
So that was how it was.The Shadow Monarch, Blood Demon Lord, and Violet Thunderlord...Andrius put away the map from Xavier and silently noted the three names.He knew from experience that when it came to exploring ancient ruins, having a map versus stumbling around like a headless fly led to completely different outcomes.If there was an opportunity, Andrius wanted the full map.“You can go now.”Andrius checked the authenticity of the map and confirmed there was nothing wrong before speaking.Xavier and the others left dejectedly.As soon as they left Celestial Blade Sect...“Leader...”One of the elders said resentfully, “We came all the way to Celestial Blade Sect. However, not only did we fail to secure a spot, but a mere junior also humiliated us. Are we really just going to leave like this?”It was not just him.The other elders and elites of the clan also clenched their fists, looking indignant.They traveled for a long time only to be slapped in the face by Andri
He calmly shook his head. “Sorry, but I refuse.”The Hidden Monarch raised his brows and said patiently, “How about this? We’ll trade an item for an item, or I can try to meet any other conditions you have.”Andrius repeated, “No.”The Hidden Monarch’s expression darkened.He was a top-tier figure in the Upper Realm and traveled from afar, shattering space to get here. However, Andrius showed him no respect.An icy aura instantly spread throughout the area.The Hidden Monarch glared at Andrius and said coldly, “Young man, harboring a treasure only invites trouble. Since you insist on not trading, I have no choice but to take it by force. If you can withstand three of my strikes without dying, I won’t take the fragment. In fact, I’ll give you my fragment as well. However, if you can’t withstand it, there’s nothing more to say. What do you think?”The Hidden Monarch gave up on pretenses and resorted to force.Andrius nodded. “Deal.”He had the same idea!The Hidden Monarch want
Whoosh—With Andrius’ words, a vague chill spread out and surrounded the Hidden Monarch.Andrius was trying to detain him.The Hidden Monarch felt the cold intent and widened his eyes, staring at Andrius with anger. “Andrius Moonshade, don’t push your luck!”“I’m pushing my luck? Hahahaha—”Andrius burst into laughter, his voice full of arrogance and dominance. “Hidden Monarch, you heard I had a fragment of the Immortal Demon Palace and traveled thousands of miles to come here and pressure me.“Now, you want to walk away after losing a bet, and you say I’m pushing my luck? Do you think it’s that easy? I told you. Either you fulfill your promise, or you won’t be leaving Celestial Blade Sect today!”Andrius would not let him go.As he spoke, a powerful aura surged forth, filling every inch of the space. It was clear he planned to fight the Hidden Monarch.The Hidden Monarch was furious. “Andrius Moonshade, do you really think you can stand on equal footing with me just because I
The Hidden Monarch was very dissatisfied. How could Andrius, a young boy, compare to his years of cultivation?“Take this!”This time, the Hidden Monarch was serious.Without any visible movement, his robe billowed as if caught by an invisible wind, and he slowly floated into the air, exuding immense energy. At that moment, it felt as if the entire world revolved around him.As he rose, he clasped his hands together, his face glowing with a golden light. He looked solemn, clearly preparing to unleash one of his ultimate skills.Ripples of energy began to spread outward from him and freeze the space it touched. It was the result of combining the laws of time and his fire attribute, creating a powerful move, which was also one of his signature!“End of Days!”As soon as the Hidden Monarch shouted, everything around him seemed to freeze, turning into grayscale. In that world, the Hidden Monarch was God!The next second, End of Days enveloped Andrius. It was the first time Andrius
Whoosh!A towering ship stood in the void, racing toward the Immortal Demon Palace.It was one of the treasures of the Celestial Blade Sect, capable of traveling through the void much faster and safer than ordinary cultivators. However, the ship suddenly began to shake violently.“Everyone, be careful. There are usually only two routes to the Immortal Demon Palace: one passes through the extreme south, and the other through the extreme north. The south leads through a sea of fire and the north through a polar tempest.Cedric explained and warned, “We’ve now entered the northern region, and even with the protective formations, it can’t keep out the winds completely. You’ll have to defend yourselves.”With that, he quickly raised his own protective barrier. However, before he could finish speaking… Swoosh!A biting cold wind swept in. In an instant, many cultivators were knocked off balance, but the wind was not the only threat!The bone-chilling cold left many trembling. Frost
Three powerful attacks, one in front and two behind, suddenly shot directly toward Andrius.“Andrius, watch out!”“Andrius!”The members of Celestial Blade Sect warned him.“Hmph!” Andrius snorted coldly, his expression unchanged.He raised his hand, and the vast power of the laws of time immediately spread in all directions, enveloping the three attacks. Then, he slowly clenched his fists, and the three attacks disintegrated.“He sure is a master of the laws of time.”“So young yet already so formidable. How rare indeed.”Two figures emerged, one with red curved horns and another with purple wings. They were the Blood Demon Lord and Violet Thunderlord, both famous figures in the Upper Realm. Behind them, a grim-looking Hidden Monarch stepped forward and snorted coldly. “Andrius Moonshade, hand over the map fragment and I might spare your life.”Andrius scoffed. “You went scurrying for reinforcements when all I’ve done was defeat you, and you think I should just hand over th
Then, a figure slowly materialized in the sky. He radiated an ethereal glow, looking majestic and extraordinary.Even Andrius could sense a formidable threat from that figure—an instinctual reaction from deep within his soul.Andrius was shocked. Who exactly was that person? The figure’s presence alone made him instinctively aware that the person was not to be trifled with. He must be an extraordinary person.It was also the person who froze the Hidden Monarch, Violet Thunderlord, and the Blood Demon Lord, instantly subduing them.Just as Andrius was trying to figure it out, someone approached him. It was Cedric.“Andrius…”Seeing Andrius’ confusion, he said, “That is the guardian of the Immortal Demon Palace, as well as a representative of the gods in the Upper Realm. He’s as powerful as a high-tier Divine King.”Andrius frowned at the mention of a high-tier Divine King. “The Hidden Monarch and the others together should have the strength of a mid-tier Divine King. How can the
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!
