LOGINAt the instant Cassian moved, Leona and Faye exchanged a glance. Then they struck together, attacking from opposite sides in perfect sync.Both unleashed their bloodline powers in a single explosive surge. The fierce auras of the Wyvern and the Phoenixborne erupted across the combat arena."Wyvern Slash!""Phoenixborne Skyfall!"Leona's and Faye's powers flowed seamlessly through their bodies as they charged toward Cassian like blazing Wyvern and Phoenix forms.Even his expression shifted when faced with their combined assault. His gaze hardened, and he didn't dare to take them lightly. The power they unleashed had already reached a level capable of threatening the divine realm expert.His spiritual energy surged outward. It condensed into a sealed barrier before him as he unleashed the full power of the pinnacle of the divine realm.A chain of explosions erupted. For a moment, the space around Cassian looked like a world on fire as waves of terrifying power slammed repeatedly a
Lawrence kept his gaze on the combat arena, then smiled and patted Kayla on the head. "Don't worry," he said calmly. "Ashton isn't going down so easily. At this rate, the Legion might gain another divine-realm expert soon.""Huh?" Kayla blinked in confusion.Lawrence didn't elaborate. Instead, he tightened his grip on the Sovereign Silver Spear and faced the provocative stares coming from Jaden and the others. With a snort, he said, "The winner hasn't been decided yet, so why are you barking already? I just hope you're still able to laugh when the time comes. And don't forget the wager you made with me."Jaden and the others were startled. None of them could understand why Lawrence still appeared so composed. For a fleeting moment, the thought that Ashton might turn the fight around crossed their minds, but they immediately dismissed it as impossible."He's just bluffing," Jaden said coldly. "Once Cassian kills everyone in that arena, the result will be clear. I'd like to see
Ashton was clearly losing ground. His stamina and spiritual energy had already been nearly exhausted in the earlier exchanges, and there was no way he could recover in such a short time. At the same time, his body continued to suffer from backlash. His limbs felt unbearably heavy, slowing his movements and weakening his strength. At this point, he was fighting purely through sheer willpower.Cassian let out a cold snort. "You're way out of your league."With a roar, he abandoned all restraint. His Overlord Physique bloodline flared to life as he pressed the attack, leaving Ashton no chance to turn the fight around.His eyes turned vicious as he gathered every ounce of strength and shouted, "Dominion Seal!"A terrifying killing intent surged outward as the seal manifested in the air, forming a massive crushing force that descended directly toward Ashton.Ashton's eyes widened as he stopped Leona and Faye from intervening. Instead of retreating, a surge of excitement rushed throug
Roxy spoke in an icy voice. It seemed like she was acting in Ashton's best interests, but Ashton was still as defiant as ever."If I could defeat Cassian once, I can do it again," he replied firmly. "And since you're Celia's mother, I'll spare your life.""Why are you wasting your breath on him, Roxy?" Cassian snapped. "He has no idea how powerful we became after we joined forces! Don't worry. I'll spare his life, but I'll cripple him completely. He'll spend the rest of his life as someone who's beneath us!"Cassian burst into manic laughter as his aura continued to grow stronger.Frowning, Roxy stared at Ashton with an unreadable expression before finally shaking her head. "I've said everything that needs to be said, Ashton. This is your last chance to walk away. If you choose to stay, you'll have to face the consequences of your decision.""Do you remember what I told you, Roxy? You don't understand anything. Today, maybe you'll finally realize that I'm the one who provided yo
The Shadow Conversion Pact would cease once Roxy was defeated. Following a series of detonations, strands of residual energy dissipated into the air. To Leona and Faye's surprise, their semi-divine realm strikes were completely blocked by the sealed barrier, and they didn't manage to harm Roxy at all.Leona and Faye grimaced before gathering their strength and launching another attack. To their dismay, they still couldn't shatter the barrier.Ashton shook his head and stopped the women from attacking further. "This barrier is formed by divine realm powers. It won't break that easily."He turned to glare at Roxy. Evidently, he hadn't expected Roxy to step in at this moment—let alone be able to utilize such a technique.At the same moment, Cassian burst into laughter. "Stop wasting your energy. You'll never be able to break through this barrier," he snarled, his voice dripping with venom. "The Shadow Conversion Pact's barrier will hold as long as the pact remains incomplete. With
Trembling, Eunice hastily said, "Roxy! Cassian has already lost—you don't need to get involved in this fight! You know what kind of person Ashton is. He won't kill you! "If you try to talk things through afterward, you might be able to go back to the life you had before. Stop making the wrong choices. At this rate, you might not be able to undo your mistakes!"Roxy looked at Eunice and shook her head. "You may be right, Eunice, but I don't care if I'm making a mistake. I will never let Ashton take Celia away from me!"She continued, "He wants to destroy everything I have, and I've always wanted to prove myself to everyone. This is my chance to do exactly that!"Roxy took a deep breath. In a flash, her figure vanished before it reappeared on the combat stage. Then, she positioned herself between Cassian and Ashton and flashed the latter a cold glance. Her transcendent realm aura surged around her before forming a domain that fully encompassed Cassian.Once Roxy moved toward the
Calvin pointed at Ashton and snarled, "Your medical ability means absolutely nothing compared to Dr. Donahue's mentor! You have no right to act arrogantly now that Dr. Donahue and his mentor are in the picture. You can forget about holding Mrs. Sloan hostage with her stomach condition ever again!
Ashton's provocative gesture of tilting Natalie's chin left the entire crowd dumbfounded. Cadence and Millie were momentarily taken aback as well. Natalie was a highly esteemed figure, a guest holding a gold invitation, who held immense sway. Her status was such that even the Gale Assembly treaded
"Really? That's great! Looks like Calvin is at least somewhat useful," Tanya saidHer face lit up with excitement. Did Ashton think she had to beg him? He wasn't the only person in the world who could treat illnesses!…The sun hadn't set yet, but the evening breeze was already impatiently sweepi
Sylvia shook her head. "I can handle this myself. If I can't, I'll ask you for help then."Ashton nodded. He returned to his room and entered a state of focused cultivation."My Drakeborne lineage has changed… It's so much more terrifying than before!" he exclaimed, eyes widening.He was shocked
