“What do you mean?”The Hidden Monarch instinctively asked.Then, he realized something was wrong.Something was very wrong.He could not figure out what it was exactly, but his sharp intuition as a master made him feel an immense fear enveloping him.What was going on?The Hidden Monarch wanted to laugh. He had already injured Andrius to this extent and had the latter by the throat, making him unable to fight back.What could Andrius possibly do to make him fearful?However, he dared not laugh.He had only experienced that soul-deep fear once before. The time he came closest to death.As that feeling returned, the Hidden Monarch only had one thought—Run. Get out of there as fast and as far as possible.Swoosh—He was just about to fling Andrius away and flee.However, at that moment, Andrius grabbed the Hidden Monarch’s wrist as he was tossed aside.They were so close that he easily succeeded.“Hmph!”The Hidden Monarch snorted coldly. “Andrius, are you seeking death?
Although the Immortal Demon Palace was cut off from the immortal consciousness of powerful beings, it did not cut off the flow of the world’s energy!If the Hidden Monarch broke the restriction here and touched the realm of the gods, a divine tribulation would descend!That was what the Hidden Monarch was worried about.“Did you notice?”Andrius said cheerfully, “To be honest, you can’t blame me for this. This is the resort of a time disorder.”Time disorder?The Hidden Monarch frowned and soon thought of a possibility.“Yes, it’s exactly what you think.”Andrius’ smile widened. “You three broke my laws of time, causing the time around us to go haywire. There are shadows of the past and fragments of the future.“When you come into contact with those fragments, your strength keeps increasing until a divine tribulation descends or the Immortal Demon Palace’s restrictions annihilate you. Both outcomes sound great. Which one do you like, Hidden Monarch?”The Hidden Monarch’s expr
Andrius was startled and instinctively tried to get up and distance himself.“Ugh...”However, as soon as he moved, he realized that his body felt like it had fallen apart. The pain was so excruciating that he could not stand.He tried to circulate his immortal essence.However, his meridians and dantian were like a parched riverbed. Not a single drop of immortal essence could be gathered.Andrius chuckled bitterly, not knowing what he should do.“No need to panic, young friend.”The three giant beasts clearly saw Andrius’ nervousness and immediately explained, “We’re Depravity’s brothers. Since you saved its life, you’re naturally a friend of ours, too. We won’t harm you.”Although their tone was gentle and kind, their massive size and proximity made Andrius feel like thunder was exploding in his ears.Fortunately, he could sense their goodwill and remembered what happened.That was right!He had rescued Depravity from the Hidden Monarch and the others, but they were chased
Then, the three beasts took Andrius further in.Moments later, they arrived at a hall.Andrius looked closely.The hall was vast and empty, with nothing but luminous pearls on the ceiling and strange totems carved on the walls.At the far end was a platform with a single orb, round and smooth with a deep azure color.Looking at it, it seemed to contain an infinite power that drew his gaze in and made it impossible to turn away.“Phew...”Andrius used all his willpower to tear his gaze away.“That orb isn’t a simple object.”Ignorance glanced at the orb and spoke.Andrius asked curiously, “What is it, and what’s so special about it?”Ignorance glanced at Andrius and explained, “That’s the famous Primordial Unity Pearl which can merge everything into one and disrupt the heavenly order. It can also suppress your strength and delay the arrival of your divine tribulation.”Delay the divine tribulation...That was exactly what Andrius needed.Swoosh—The next second, he flew o
Swoosh!Andrius instinctively stopped.He looked closely.Yes, it was Luna. There was no sign of it being an illusion.Andrius was filled with confusion. "Luna... Aren't you in a deep sleep? Why are you here?"Luna did not respond.She stared straight at Andrius without any expression.Andrius grew even more puzzled.Swoosh!The next second, just as he was about to ask again, Luna suddenly struck Andrius with a powerful palm.The palm was incredibly fierce, like Luna had used her full strength.It reached Andrius in the blink of an eye, and the powerful wind from the strike blew his hair and clothes backward.Andrius reacted quickly.In a flash, he tapped the ground with his foot and shot forward.However, to his confusion, Luna continued to pursue him as if she would not stop until he was dead.Andrius was stunned, but instantly understood.This was an illusion!This illusion was simply more lifelike than what he had encountered before.It was not his first time faci
Andrius' heart regained its calm, no longer stirring.Then, he slowly opened his eyes.However, what he saw was a figure lying on the ground, so fragile and sorrowful.Andrius suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.What was happening?If this were truly an illusion, it should dissipate after defeating the illusion, and everything around him would return to normal.However...Luna still lay there with no signs of vanishing.Furthermore, the pool of blood beneath her continued to grow, and the scent of blood became stronger.The way she looked at him was pitiful and cold, as if silently accusing him.She was asking him why he killed her.Andrius panicked.Was this not an illusion but reality?However, if it was real, how could Luna have traveled here from thousands of miles away?He did not understand!Mixed with the pain in his heart, Andrius lost his composure."Luna..."In the end, he dashed forward and held Luna's body.The body still held some warmth.However, i
Depravity's massive head looked at him. "That's the wonder of the Primordial Unity Pearl.""Wonder?"Andrius did not understand.It almost got him killed, but it was called a 'wonder'?"Yes, a wonder."Depravity explained, "This is one of the Primordial Unity Pearl's powerful abilities—hallucination. You've just experienced how potent it is."Andrius nodded. "It's indeed powerful."The illusion from the Primordial Unity Pearl was very different from ordinary illusions. Not only was it extremely realistic, but the layers on it made it hard to tell if it was real or fake.In fact, if Depravity had not yelled, Andrius might have suffered a severe loss."Of course."Depravity said cautiously, "The Primordial Unity Pearl's illusion is a materialized illusion. It's incredibly strong and on par with the illusions during a divine tribulation. That's why this object is very effective when resisting the illusions of a divine tribulation."Andrius suddenly understood.It turned out th
At that moment, the beast of chaos had gone berserk and was much fiercer than before. It not only broke free from the pressure of the Four Calamities but also turned the tables and suppressed them instead."Die, die..."The beast of chaos roared in fury.At the same time, its massive body emitted a terrifying red light.The light expanded to cover the heavens and was just about to envelop the four beasts completely."Oh, no! The beast of chaos has entered its final phase.""We're doomed."The four beasts felt a wave of despair.Just as the red light was about to descend upon them, something unexpected happened. The red light instantly vanished without a trace.It was as if it had never appeared!That was not all.The invincible beast of chaos also began to disappear inch by inch until it was completely gone."Hm? What...""Andrius succeeded!""Haha! He must have refined the Primordial Unity Pearl and absorbed the beast into it."The four beasts were stunned for a moment
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!
