“Hmph!” Andrius grunted and performed a roundhouse kick. Cyclops was on the defensive side and did not expect Andrius to suddenly change his blows into a kick. The sudden shift forced him to take the kick’s full force. Bang! The powerful kick sent him sliding backward. He slid for seven to eight steps before he regained his balance. While Cyclops was sliding back, Andrius landed his feet on a tree by the side and launched himself forward, throwing a punch at the invader. The power of the punch was unmatched. It caught Cyclops off guard and managed to land on his chest. The overwhelming power sent Cyclops flying away like a ragdoll. Splat! A bloody arch was drawn in the air, adding a sense of horror to the dark night. “Any idea how you’d like to die yet?” Andrius walked over to Cyclops calmly. “Die?” Cyclops wiped the blood off his lips and glared at Andrius. He grinned and said, “Wolf King, O’ Wolf King. You really think I came here alone?” Following his words,
If this continued, all the assassins would die in less than three minutes and Cyclops would no longer have the chance to ambush Andrius. With that, he glared at Andrius before he left the valley silently. Andrius was still busy dealing with the rest of the assassins and did not have time for Cyclops. When he was done, Cyclops was already gone. The remaining assassins noticed Cyclops’ absence as well. They no longer wanted to fight the Grim Reaper that was Andrius, so they all tried to escape. However, Andrius, with his extreme speed, swiftly stopped and immobilized all of them. He squatted down before one of the surviving assassins and bellowed, “Tell me, Cyclops is the enemy of the country with the blood of my people on his hand. He’s killed many good men of the country, yet you all are working for him. Why?” Andrius was truly infuriated. He could tolerate his own people trying to take his life but not when his own people helped foreign invaders to destroy him. “Hmph!” T
On the next day, Andrius received Noir’s call early in the morning. “Andy, the Second War God sent the assassins to kill you and stop you from attending the Grand Medicinal Competition.” The Second War God? A cold glint flashed in Andrius’ eyes. The Second War God would never give such an order on his own, even if he had the nerve to, so the person who made him give that order must be the Emperor, Registus. Why would the Emperor want Andrius to stay away from the competition? Was the Emperor afraid of something? Was the Emperor afraid that Andrius might find out about the truth? Andrius highly suspected that the skeleton that was listed as the first prize of the Grand Medicinal Competition contained answers to many unanswered questions. “It seems like we must win the first prize this time.” With that, Andrius headed to Phoenix Manor, where the East River State Medical Society called their headquarters for now. Maybe the people there had a clue about the secrets of t
“So…” Angus continued, “Before the Kleins died, they actually tattooed a strange map fragment on each of their family member’s bodies. If you can piece all the fragments together, you might be able to get a clue to locate that child.” It was no wonder that many people were after that body. Andrius’ expression turned bitter. An instant realization struck him and allowed him to connect more dots. Old Hagstorm must have known about this as well because he was the one who had saved Andrius back then. The man must have heard of the rumor as well and was worried that his identity would be exposed. Therefore, when the Emperor, Registus, used the body as bait to lure out the killer, Old Hagstorm wanted to verify it himself but got careless in the process, hence the Emperor hunted him down. That was how it happened. Angus then shook his head. “But the Society has studied the body over and over again and did research on it with all possible methods. Alas, no one was able to find any
Half an hour later, the celebratory dinner started. All the dignitaries and influential people of Sumeria were invited. As the star of the evening, Luna was in the spotlight, surrounded by all the dignitaries. “Ms. Crestfall, congratulations!” “Ms. Crestfall, from today onwards, New Moon Corporation will be the pillar of the medical field in Sumeria. Please look after all of us.” “Ms. Crestfall, I’m Liam Hemsworth, the CEO of Sky Pharmaceuticals. This is my name card. I look forward to working with you in the medical field.” The dignitaries were enthusiastic about meeting her. All of them tried to flatter her and gain her attention, which overwhelmed her. Halle tried to share the burden, but the dignitaries did not care about her and continued swarming toward Luna. Therefore, Halle gave up and let her friend drown. From time to time, however, she glanced at Andrius in the corner. Andrius had been thinking about the Grand Medicinal Competition ever since he came back f
Lyra’s eyes fluttered. “Grandpa, this acupuncture technique, the Thirteen Ghost Gates, is it really that powerful?” “Of course, it’s powerful!” Dr. Artemis explained with a serious look, “The Thirteen Ghost Gates is a legendary acupuncture technique. As long as the patient is still alive, the technique can bring the patient back from passing through the gates to hell. This technique is sought after by almost all the doctors in Florence.” Dr. Artemis then bowed at Andrius solemnly. “Young man, thank you!” Andrius helped the man up. “Dr. Artemis, you really don’t need to. I have been searching for someone to pass the Thirteen Ghost Gates down to, and your skills are widely recognized in Sumeria. I believe you can put it to good use and save more people.” Dr. Artemis was grateful. “Young man, don’t worry. I will practice hard and master this skill as soon as possible. Then, I can help our people and free them from sickness.” Andrius nodded. He then pointed at the stage and said,
Halle was closer than ever, and she showed no signs of stopping. Andrius got nervous. Right before the critical moment, Andrius spotted Angus going up on stage to start the event. “The dinner is starting! You should go back to your seat!” Andrius said hurriedly to Halle. He then quickly snuck away to his seat in the corner. “Tsk. Coward.” Halle blushed as she watched Andrius scuttle away like a rat being chased by a cat. She was also surprised at how bold she was. She might have dated men, but none of them had ever touched her. She shook her head to discard the strange thoughts. Halle went back to Luna and sat down beside her friend. “Halle, where were you?” Luna looked at her and said, “I was surrounded by the dignitaries and you didn’t help me! Are we even still BFFs?” “Of course, we are. I did what I could, but everyone ignores me. What else can I do?” Halle explained while consoling her friend. “I think you are the most beautiful flower in the garden. That’s why the
“The third batch…” Angus continued calling names on the stage. “The Health and Safety Minister of Sumeria, Jack Huley.” “Chief of the Medicine Supervision Department, John Walker.” “President of the Traditional Medicine Society, Scott Lang.” …The names continued to surprise the guests. The heads of the Health and Safety Ministry and the Medicine Supervision Department, plus the president of the Traditional Medicine Society. All of them were the most powerful people in the medical field of Sumeria as each one of them could shift the entire field with just one word. They were also important figures that all the pharmaceutical companies and dignitaries wished to flatter. The applause grew louder, but it was not the end. There were still three more seats empty, all located in the center. The dignitaries knew that the three seats belonged to the stars of the event. Then, someone noticed something strange. Based on the information they got, one of the seats was for Lu
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!
