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
The palace gates were about to open. At worst, he would just avoid meeting them face-to-face. With the Phoenix Divine Plume’s presence, he felt confident enough to take the initiative.Whoosh… Just as he was thinking that, a beam of light illuminated the sky, looking both majestic and hauntingly mysterious. It was as if an ancient beam of light, traveling through the ages, had pierced through time itself, illuminating everything around.As the gates of the Immortal Demon Palace were opening, all the forces present immediately flew over.“Enter one by one.”The faint voice instantly made everyone obedient. It was the Divine Ruler who spoke.Thus, all the forces entered in order. Everyone who entered was enveloped by endless light that stopped the people outside from seeing what was inside.Andrius tried to sense with his soul what lay beyond but was repelled as soon as he touched the curtain of light. Clearly, the inside was completely isolated, and it was probably for the best
Swoosh!Andrius was not sure if there was anything else in the river, so with a wave of his hand, the Linebreaker Overlord appeared in his palm.It had been a long time since he seriously used a spear. However, now that he held it, it felt natural, like an extension of his arm. The tenth form of the Burden of Nine Skies, which he was familiar with, had a different level of understanding, but that was not the main point.Andrius swung his spear, and the powerful spear light struck the crest of the oncoming wave. He thought it would be an easy clash— surely a strike from his spear would be enough to scatter the wave. However, the outcome left him astonished.Instead of dispersing the wave, the strike triggered a surge of lightning that instantly spread across Andrius’ whole body. The lighting’s paralyzing effect momentarily numbed him, and he almost lost grip of the Linebreaker Overlord.Andrius’ body had undergone countless enhancements and was constantly nourished by the Divine Re
