LOGINIn the room steeped in old-world charm, Wanda sat before her vanity mirror, her gaze distant and unfocused as Ashton kept appearing in her mind. She had initially assumed that she would progressively forget Ashton over the past few days until he thoroughly vanished from her recollection.Yet, time failed to erode her longing for Ashton. Instead, his features became more vivid, leading her to dream about him almost every night. It was only during those hours of sleep that she could unwind even slightly, freeing herself from the constant physical tension of keeping guard against everyone around her.It was then that the door was thrown wide open with a sharp creak. Wanda flinched and instantly channeled her spiritual energy, fully prepared to destroy herself along with whoever stepped through the door."How has your experience been at the Heavenly Medical Pavilion during this period, Ms. Shepherd?" Callum walked into the room and sized Wanda up from head to toe, a fleeting look of con
Callum's subordinates continued their reports."Ashton had intercepted the 1,000 young girls who were being used as the medicinal catalysts...""Selene and the others are dead!"Callum's expression became increasingly grim. He had spent the last several days occupied with his upcoming marriage to Wanda and the logistics of the alliance with the Shepherd family, so he hadn't paid close attention to Ashton. He hadn't expected Ashton to come so close to completely upending Central Region."What's the situation on Xavion's end? Have you heard from Javier or the envoys we sent there to negotiate?" Callum asked gravely. He had already deduced Ashton's next move based on those reports—Ashton would definitely partner with Xavion to launch a combined attack against him. It was then that an elder replied anxiously, "There has been absolutely no response from their end, so I'm afraid they've all run into trouble, Mr. McGrath!"Callum's face fell as he ordered heavily, "Go dispatch thre
Ashton 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
Victor had been fixed as Ashton's target. He felt a devastating, towering, murderous intent descending upon him, wrapping around him like an inescapable net. He realized, with utter dread, that fleeing was no longer an option."I, the Grim Reaper, the deputy head of the Legion, have come to end you
Kenneth was drenched in cold sweat. The crushing despair from the endless hell he'd once tasted surged back, swallowing his mind whole. He couldn't understand how Ashton had pulled this off. He had confirmed the malevolent energy was no longer affecting him!Ashton scoffed. "I simply reawakened the
Ashton's voice was both mocking and contemptuous. Anyone listening could tell that he was humiliating Flint and hitting where it hurt the most.In an instant, a murderous pressure filled the air, weighing down on Ashton like a boulder on his shoulders and trying to force him to his knees.His eyes
Roxy nodded, replying, "I have heard of her before, but Dr. Fowler's whereabouts are unpredictable, so I've never been able to seek her out." Eunice asked with a smile, "Haven't you heard, Roxy? Dr. Fowler has returned to Javonbury and is currently staying at Whispering Emerald Manor. She is an ex
