Nox nodded. 'That's the tyrant, alright. He'd kill his subjects' families without hesitating. What a cruel bastard.'"Is that a yes? Will you submit to me, then?"Before Nox could say anything, Vermilion Bird flew into a rage. "How dare you ask my lord to bow to a tyrant like you! Die! Sacred Beast Seal!"Vermilion Bird activated the Sacred Beast Seal again and charged at Bartemius."How dare you speak when you're not spoken to! You're already at your limit! Great Physique Seal!"A red rune blasted out of Bartemius' body as he swung his fist. The seal amplified his strength by a thousand times and destroyed Vermilion Bird's seal easily. Crushed by the impact, Vermilion Bird was sent flying before eventually falling into Nox's arms."Milord!""That's a Mystian spell. You're no match for it. Let me handle this." Nox covered himself with energy and sent Vermilion Bird to Quilo.Vermilion Bird landed on her feet. It was evident that she wanted to keep fighting, but Quilo stopped he

"The lord is already this powerful? Bartemius is an Intermediate Pinnacle Legend Realm!" Vermilion Bird was stunned. She wondered what her lord had gone through during her absence."Don't look so surprised. Nox is far more powerful than we are. We'll never understand how powerful he is until we get to a certain level. When we do, we'll realize just how incredible he is," Quilo praised.Vermilion Bird was a little confused. She was still musing over what Quilo said when the magma exploded. Soon, a flame pillar shot up into the sky, and Bartemius came flying out, strongwind covering his body."You're a decent one, boy. I can see why they call you the Nine-State Lord. The old me would've been defeated. However, I have now absorbed natural energy and practiced Mystia's Celestial technique. You are no match for me! Great Physique Manual, Vajra Seal!"Runes appeared on Bartemius' skin, and his aura skyrocketed with the boost of power it gave, causing him to double in size. He became so p

"Blooddrinker!" Bartemius swung his saber, and a ribbon of light a thousand feet long hurtled toward Nox."Swordmaster, Unto the Origin." Nox controlled all power with his sword. This technique could take out most enemies back in Heaven's Cage. Now, it could wipe them off the map. Even gods would fall under his attack.When the sword fell, everything died. Even the magma was compressed further downward. Bartemius' saber energy dissipated upon impact while his weapon shattered into pieces. The shard flew at Bartemius, riddling with holes.Bartemius' meridians were destroyed as his saber energy rampaged through his flesh and bones. His crushed innards splattered against the ground as he fell into the magma. Shortly after, the suppressed sea shot back up, covering the underground battlefield in flames."I'll take Vermilion Bird, Nox!" Quilo wasn't powerful enough to stay here for prolonged periods. He grabbed Vermilion Bird and leaped toward the passage that led down here."Vermilion

For real cultivators, this was heaven on earth. "I shall leave Faeast in your hands, Nox. If the Limerents try anything funny, punish them as you see fit. Yes, even my uncle. If anyone turns their back on Faeast, I give you the power to issue a kill order."Quilo was staring at Nox. It was clear what he had in mind. He wanted Nox to be the new ruler—the new emperor. Nox said nothing. He merely nodded with a smile. Nox knew that Quilo trusted him, but Quilo couldn't tell him what to do.Quilo went into cultivation after giving Nox his final orders. Before he left, he said telepathically, "You can use the formation as well, Dad. If anyone tries to break in, use it to kill them."Quilo froze. In Faeast, it was common for sons-in-law to call their father-in-law 'Dad,' but he knew Nox meant something more than that. "Very well. You're now my godson." He laughed and entered strict isolation. He would not leave until he became an Emperor Realm warrior.Nox returned to the underground cham

Nineve was exhausted after all the work she'd done a few days ago, but Atlas' grumbling swept her exhaustion away, replacing it with rage. She slammed the table and glared at Atlas, much to his confusion."What's that supposed to mean, great-uncle? We're all working for Lord Nox here. We're his subordinates! This is your job!"Atlas gasped. "You're lecturing me, girl? Not even your father would take that tone with me!" Atlas only respected Nox out of everyone in this army. He was second-in-command. To him, a princess was worth nothing."Goddammit, Atlas, will you see sense? Lord Nox isn't crowned lord because of his generosity! He's not like my father! He made his way up because he slaughtered enough people to make mountains out of corpses!"He only keeps you around because you're useful to him and the nation. The moment he thinks you're a threat to Faeast or a dissenter, you're dead. It won't be Nox who does it, but my father," said Nineve.That made Atlas shiver. He knew Quilo.
