Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 1751 - Bab 1760

Jaculus failed to take down his opponent but ended up being the one who was battered and bloodied, barely hanging on by sheer willpower. His breaths came in ragged gasps, but he refused to fall. "Jaculus, Commander of the Hidden Dragon Guard, and Quilo's most loyal hound," the priest across from him sneered. "Heh. They say that you have cultivated your profound skills to perfection, so how are you so pathetic now? Look at yourself. You haven't even so much as touched my robes after fighting me for over an hour." His mocking tone was laced with derision.Jaculus clenched his teeth and thought to himself, 'Who the hell would have guessed that the Deputy Sect Master of Celestial Ordinance's Abode, Mireil Loux, would be in Imperia's branch?'Mireil had lived for over a century as a demon-like human and stood at the very pinnacle of the Eight Gates' peak.Under normal circumstances, with Jaculus' newly acquired Eight Gates cultivation, going up against Mireil would be like seeking de

"Once I make this move, no one beneath the Supreme Realm can stand against me. Lord Nox, prepare to meet your demise!"Mireil's words echoed, heavy with malice. "Killing you is only the beginning. The world will witness that the Celestial Ordinance's Abode is the true ruler of Faeast. Every soul shall bow before us and recognize us as the only god of this world!"Thunder boomed as a blood dragon crafted entirely from the power of lightning tore through the clouds from the heart of the storm. Its massive, menacing form hurtled toward Nox and consumed him!However, Nox remained unfazed. His gaze was cold. "Hmph, you're not even qualified to be a mere evil spirit. Yet, you dare compare yourself to a true god?"You, who are merely half away from ascending to the Supreme Realm, dare to speak of gods in front of me?"He took another step and raised his hand with ease. All the stagnant raindrops flew right back up to the clouds.At that moment, the backward droplets transformed into cou

"To think the great Lord Nox is nothing but a villain. And you think you can stand up against the sects? I'll destroy your conviction, Lord Nox, even if it means the death of me!""Shut it, you bastard! How dare you insult my lord! It's just as well that he's taking your essence!" Jaculus would not stand for any slander against his lord. Nox was doing a good deed by ridding Mireil. It was only right to be given a reward for his efforts."Don't put yourself on a pedestal, scum. Your essence can't even make me one mote stronger." Nox's lips curled. He was a Supreme, while Mireil was just an Eight Gates. Consuming the weak's essence would only weaken Nox.Besides, Nox didn't learn any Forbidden Arts related to the consumption of essence. He cast Revival again. The blood-red gem turned lively green, radiating the scent of fresh grass and jade. One whiff was enough to sober up the mind.Nox sent it flying down, and it stopped atop the medical tent. The gem broke into hundreds of slivers

"Milord, the Sword Sect bears news. They managed to destroy the Pavilion of Regality with the help of Grand Weaver's workshop—the Sword Sect's leader slain their patriarch. We also have good news from the western frontier. Our soldiers have taken Moste Magicke out."The member continued, "However, their patriarch is too powerful for us to handle. He broke through the lockdown. We and the Hidden Dragon Guards have sent our men after him.""I see. The patriarchs are at least half-Supremes. Tell your men to back off. They can't handle that old man," said Nox solemnly."Yes, milord. Jaculus wishes to know if we are attacking Heaven's Cage. The enemy has Mystia's support. So, we'll need your orders if we're to take them," said the member."No. I will deal with that one myself. They'll know when we're moving out," said Nox.Nox remained before his ancestors for a long time, musing over the phenomenon that happened earlier. He wondered if it was a coincidence, or if his ancestors were tr

Nox bowed to Quilo solemnly and made his way to the airport, not looking back at all. "Nox…" Quilo saw Nox off, tears welling up in his eyes. They weren't just king and subject. Quilo saw Nox as his own.Someone sobbed in the darkness. Quilo waved his hand, and the barrier that could block divine sense shrank back into the artifact. Queenie came out of her hiding spot. She was a mess of tears.She knew Nox was going to war so Faeast could remain at peace. He could not afford to be distracted, not even for her. He had to put his love aside for this."I wish I never knew him, Your Majesty. I'm useless. I can't even help him. I'm deadweight! And now you have to stay back because of me." Queenie was bawling.She was trash compared to all the other ladies vying for his attention."My dear Queenie, I've lived long enough and seen my fair share of things. You might not understand it now, but someday wisdom will come to you. Romance does get in the way of big things sometimes, but think a
