“Phew...”Andrius let out a long breath and relaxed his posture.In response to Kate’s astonishment, he just smiled slightly without making any special remarks.“It’s truly unimaginable.”During this period, Kate had talked with Andrius a lot and knew that he had entered the martial realm less than a month ago. She could not help but be amazed. “Even though you’re independent and don’t belong to any martial forces, you’ve reached a height that ordinary people can hardly achieve in their lifetimes.“In less than a month, you’ve progressed from Martial Lord to Martial King...“Your speed of improvement is simply astonishing and unprecedented. Even geniuses from history might not have progressed as rapidly as you.”He was a genius in every sense of the word!Kate’s face filled with admiration. Her cousin’s achievements were truly deserving of praise!“It’s not that easy.” Andrius shook his head with a wry smile. “I only briefly broke through the cultivation barrier by borrowing y
“With his talent, breaking through to a higher realm is not impossible.”Kate’s concerns were not unfounded.If Norvin had already broken through but had been concealing his strength, he could catch them off guard when they least expected it and achieve victory in a single strike.Wade smiled upon hearing her words. “Kate, the martial realm is as deep as the sea. While advancing in stages can give martial artists stronger inner energy cultivation, it is not the sole determinant of victory.“The excellence of martial arts, exceptional skills, and adaptability in the heat of battle all have a crucial impact on combat.”This explanation not only surprised Kate but also caught Andrius’ attention.Wade continued, “For example, if you master a martial art to the pinnacle, comprehend various techniques, and can effortlessly apply them in battle, there’s still a chance to fight against higher-level opponents.”Kate did not fully understand but was deeply shaken and lost in thought.And
Deep in Mount Albus, the route was filled with rugged mountains and towering cedar trees.Thousand-year-old cedar trees reached toward the heavens. The divine mountains and mystical forests made this place a paradise. It was a completely different scene compared to the vast plains of central Florence.However, Andrius and the others had their minds focused on the Klein family’s treasure.They showed no interest in the boundless beauty of the mountains, not even bothering to glance at it.Time passed, the sun gradually set, and the group arrived at the cave entrance.“It should be here...”The Black Hawk checked the map and entered first.The heads of the four families signaled their teams and followed closely.The Medicine Sect and Andrius did not lag behind either.Soon, the group paused.The Black Hawk led everyone through the cave and searched around, but they found no trace of any treasure.The four great families were unwilling to accept this and tried tapping on walls,
“Then, I’m coming in!”Kate lifted the tent curtain and walked inside, holding an iron plate with a roasted rabbit on it. The rabbit was crispy on the outside and tender inside, emitting a delicious aroma.“They caught these wild rabbits in Mount Albus. They taste delicious. You should try some!”“Thank you, Kate.”Andrius did not refuse and enjoyed the food with the Black Hawk.The map was still spread out on the ground, and the two continued to study and discuss it while eating.“How is it?” Kate glanced at the map and asked casually, “Have you made any progress?”Andrius chewed the delicious rabbit meat and mumbled, “The map shows that the Klein family’s treasure is in the core area of Mount Albus, which is where we are right now. However, we still can’t find the entrance.”Kate looked at the map curiously. The dense lines on the map made her feel a little overwhelmed.However, she patiently continued to examine it.After a while, she suddenly pointed to a peculiar-looking
After doing this, he poked his head out and realized that no one had noticed him. He quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared from sight.Andrius and the others were completely unaware of this.Everyone was nervously facing off with the wolf pack.Swoosh...Suddenly, a massive Snow Mountain Wolf pounced.The wolf was nearly two meters long and comparable to a tiger. In the blink of an eye, it cast a shadow that covered the distant firelight, shrouding the area in darkness.The chilling wind carried the scent of blood.“Die, beast!”At the front, Tyrell snorted coldly and unleashed a punch.Bam!The next moment, his iron fist struck the wolf’s head.“Awoo...”The Snow Mountain Wolf let out a piercing and miserable howl, flying backward to the ground. Tyrell’s punch shattered more than half of the wolf’s head, causing blood to gush out. It struggled for a moment before it stopped breathing.Such strength...He truly deserved to be the head of one of the ancient mart
As the Medicine Sect Master, he possessed an extreme sensitivity to various scents, which allowed him to notice this detail.“That’s right...” The Black Hawk slapped his forehead and said in realization, “Ancient maps often underwent changes by using methods such as soaking them in water, holding them over a fire, or dripping blood on them. How could I have missed that?”Norvin said hopefully, “Maybe after blood has been added to the map, it is the real treasure map!”“That makes sense!”“Quick, let’s try adding more blood to see what happens.”The group chattered and came up with a plan.“Okay, I’ll go first.”The Black Hawk cut his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the map.Plop.A small blood splatter appeared.One, three, ten seconds passed.Time slowly passed.The blood had begun to coagulate, but there was no change in the map.The others exchanged glances but did not give up.“Let me try.”Norvin also added a drop of his blood and added it to the map.The
Bam!Andrius did not back down and confronted Norvin with a palm strike as well.“Pfft...”Norvin’s strength was overwhelming. It was far beyond what Andrius, a pseudo-Martial King, could compare with. With just one strike, Andrius was sent flying and coughing up blood.All this happened in the blink of an eye.Even Kate could not react in time to stop it. Andrius had already fallen to the ground.“Wolf King!”Seeing Norvin preparing for another strike, the Black Hawk’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately stood in front of Andrius.“Stop!”Wade finally reacted at that moment. He blocked Norvin’s path and said coldly, “Don’t go too far, Norvin.”“Heh...”Norvin’s mouth curled down, radiating a chilling intent, and he lunged forward again.Seeing his persistence, Wade stopped retreating and met the attack with a palm as well.Rumble...The moment the two palms collided, a strong shockwave scattered in all directions, almost lifting the tent. The furnishings
Everyone turned to look and were shocked.While the Swallows and the Medicine Sect were in a standoff, Andrius had brought the map to a nearby torch.“If you dare to mess around...” Andrius had a smile on his face, appearing very relaxed. “Then, I’ll just set the map on fire. I’m already a dead man, so what do I have to fear?”As he spoke, he moved the map toward the torch.Thick black smoke billowed up, and the map was partially charred in an instant.“No!”“Andrius, stop!”“Don’t! The map must not be destroyed—”Damian, Ronald, and Tyrell saw this and were instantly frightened. They quickly shouted at him to stop him.Norvin’s expression also suddenly changed.Killing Andrius would mean nothing to the Swallows. There would be no impact.However, destroying the treasure map would ruin their ambitions and efforts over many years, turning them all to ashes!Tyrell was the first to step forward, leading the members of the Anders to stand with the Medicine Sect. He frowned and
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!
