LOGINAshton strode into the room a moment later, radiating the overwhelming and awe-inspiring pressure of someone at the pinnacle of the divine realm. Those present, except for Xavion, began to tremble uncontrollably. They stared at him in absolute horror, feeling as though they were facing a mortal god of war, and an instinctual dread took hold of them.Xavion's eyes flashed with astonishment as he locked his gaze onto Ashton. He hadn't expected Ashton to reach the pinnacle of the divine realm so quickly, and on top of that, his current energy was already bordering on the semi-otherworldly realm. He couldn't help but wonder if Lucia was the catalyst for this."Greetings, Lord Mott!" Ashton said, bowing in respect."You don't have to be so polite since you're one of us now. You should have a seat, Ashton," Xavion said, signaling for the others to leave the room. He stared fixedly at Ashton and asked, "What do you need me to do next? We're running out of time already, Ashton."Xavion
In the following four hours, everything that occurred between Ashton and Lucia was a blur of indescribable intimacy. Lucia finally opened her eyes, only to find that the day had gradually turned to night."Huh? Where's Ashton?" Lucia was aching all over, as though she had just been through a brutal battle. However, she also felt a burst of pure, refined spiritual energy surging through her body, leaving her spirit more vibrant than ever and bringing with it a unique sensation.She suddenly sensed something and looked toward the southeast. She felt a massive wave of energy surging there, raging outward like a violent storm. "Did Ashton reach the pinnacle of the divine realm?"Lucia's pupils dilated as she zeroed in on Ashton. She saw Ashton, clad in black, sitting cross-legged while menacing bolts of lightning and flames wrapped around him. He possessed an unspeakably commanding presence, resembling a monarch ruling over the mortal realm."Did he actually advance his realm? He was
"I want to sleep with you!" Ashton replied instinctively, without a single moment of hesitation."Huh?" Lucia widened her eyes in surprise, never expecting Ashton to be so direct. She lightly bit her lip, a mix of embarrassment and anger washing over her features. She then glared fiercely at Ashton and said sharply, "Please show some self-restraint, Mr. Gray!"Lucia was definitely attracted to Ashton, especially since her Soul-Devouring constitution perfectly complemented his Drakeborne lineage. Their proximity sparked undeniable chemistry, eliciting an instinctive physical response that left them both craving a deeper connection. She, however, refused to just jump into bed with him on the spot, thinking that doing so would make her seem far too promiscuous."I'm sorry, but I'm telling you the truth," Ashton said. He explained earnestly, "I won't hide it from you, Ms. Mott—my bloodline is pushed to the absolute limit right now. If I can't sleep with you, who possesses the Soul
Ashton knew he had already reached the point where he could stand toe-to-toe in battle."Is that your current limit, or do you still have room to grow?" Xavion asked with curiosity."I can certainly go further than this if I put my life on the line. I still have a trump card up my sleeve, which is exactly why I'm confident that I can face the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, Lord Mott," Ashton replied gravely.Xavion pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "You can indeed put up a fight against experts in the otherworldly realm with your current strength—those below the third-tier probably can't kill you anymore. "Callum of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion is at the peak of the fifth-tier otherworldly realm and could ascend into the sixth-tier at any moment, though. You'd definitely die if you were to face him. "Therefore, even if I agree to cooperate with you, the final outcome won't change. Are you certain you still want to oppose the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, Ashton?"Ashton sta
A rustling noise echoed as clusters of pitch-black flames wrapped around Ashton, completely enveloping him within the shroud of black flames.Ashton gritted his teeth against the agonizing backlash tearing through his body. His pupils dilated sharply as the Drakeborne lineage within his body ignited completely. He clenched his left hand into a fist, while his right hand formed a sword.He could feel his veins bulging across his body while his peak divine realm energy soared to its absolute limit, releasing a crushing pressure that filled even Xavion with profound dread."W-What…" Xavion swallowed hard, completely unable to comprehend how Ashton had accomplished all of this. It was completely beyond his understanding.Xavion refused to take any chances. He instantly took a step back, condensed consecutive drops of blood essence, and funneled his full power into the Astral Gale light barrier. He genuinely had no desire to make an enemy of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion right now, wh
Ashton's eyes narrowed as his draconic vision flickered. He forged the energy under his control into a succession of incomparably sharp, giant swords, even as blood continued to stream from his eyelids.He activated his spiritual sense, causing all 106 giant crimson swords to let out a resonant hum. The blades vibrated in mid-air before their sharp edges turned together to lock onto Xavion."What the hell!" Xavion finally lost his composure, his expression shifting from surprise to outright terror as he sensed the chilling killing intent emanating from the swords. He struggled to understand how Ashton could possibly achieve such a feat.Ashton, by all rights, had only just depleted his spiritual energy to unleash that violent barrage of punches, so it should have been completely impossible for him to manifest another divine ability technique in such a short time—let alone one with such terrifying sword intent. It would require a precision of control that was demanding to the abs
The impact boomed like thunder, shaking Apex Arena to its foundations. Shockwaves tore across the platform, with wild currents of energy rippling in every direction.At that instant, a web of fractures spidered across Ashton's black barrier. Through the gaps, razor-edged sword energy forced its way
Clay knew that in this world, the law of conservation applied to all forces. Strength couldn't come from nowhere."After this, you'll become a cripple. But don't worry. I will ensure that you live out the rest of your life comfortably. Now get back to the fight. Bring Ashton's head to the Dominion
Upon hearing that, the members of the Dominion Vanguard's collective composure buckled. Their spirits reeled as though scorched by a bolt from the heavens or a sharp blow to the face. They felt as if every shred of their past authority and pride was crushed, leaving only the bitter disgrace of bei
"Whether they deserve to die is not for you to decide, Ashton. I've already told you that you've come to the wrong place. Leave now, or don't blame me for what happens next."Ronan bared a menacing grin, feeling his dissatisfaction with Ashton's arrogant and overbearing attitude reach its peak."I
