Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 1
A weak candlelight flickered in the dim dungeon of the Ashcroft Manor in Philodorah's outskirts. "It's finally done!" Theodore Yardley said while gazing at his wife with a complicated expression. "I hope you'll keep your promise.""Yes, it's finally done," the breathtakingly beautiful woman sitting cross-legged before him echoed. She was dressed in a red dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her fair skin was smooth and flawless in every way. She was Vivienne Ashcroft—the princess of the Ashcrofts and the most stunning woman of Philodorah.Theodore looked pitifully frail compared to her. His face was deathly pale, and his body was thin to the point of being gaunt. There was only resentment and helplessness left in his eyes. Vivienne rose to her feet and looked down at him. There wasn't a trace of affection a wife should have for her husband in her eyes. Instead, there was only pity. "I will keep my promise and let you go. I will also ensure the safety of your famil
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 2
Theodore found himself engulfed by a vast expanse of silver-white light. Strange images flashed before his eyes continuously. At first, they were moving slowly, but as time passed, they started accelerating."Cultivation… Immortal… Sword technique… Immortal Realm… Lord of Eternity!" The images flickered relentlessly, and when they finally stopped, Theodore felt as if his mind was about to explode. "These are… memories. They're a set of cultivation memories!"A complete memory played out at an astonishing speed before his eyes, detailing the entire life of a single person. That person was none other than the Lord of Eternity from the Immortal Realm!"The Immortal Realm!"In Theodore's understanding, immortals were an existence beyond reach. However, the owner of these memories had surpassed even that. He had entered the Immortal Realm and ascended to the highest level as a Lord."No matter who you are, if you were able to break the seal I left behind, then you must be my descend

What are my choices?" Theodore suppressed the hatred in his heart and asked calmly. "Don't play dumb. Ms. Vivienne gave you a choice—either rot in this dungeon for the rest of your life or get lost so that you won't defile the land of the Ashcrofts," Henry spat disdainfully. Upon hearing this, Theodore finally recalled Vivienne's words before she left. If he wished to leave, she wouldn't stop him. In fact, she would even have the household servants escort him back to the Yardleys. Sure enough, Emery added, "If you choose to leave, we will personally escort you back. However, the moment you step out of this place, you will no longer be the Ashcrofts' son-in-law." Theodore's brows furrowed slightly. Having endured humiliation for thirteen years, he had naturally learned to be shrewd, not to mention that he had just gained sixty years of cultivation memories of a Lord from the Sword Orb. An additional sixty years of experience was practically the same as living two lives.Af

The skies over Philodorah were heavy and gray when rain began to fall. "Granduncle Clyde… Granduncle Carson...I don't want to marry him..." Amidst the rain, a young girl in a blue dress was kneeling inside the Yardleys' grand hall, tears streaming down her face.She had a graceful figure and her slightly chubby cheeks were adorned with two charming dimples, making her look irresistibly sweet.Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked around desperately with tears in her eyes, pleading with those in the hall. At her side, two groups of people sat upright, facing each other with solemn expressions. On one side were the Boltons, who had come with a marriage proposal, while the other was made up of the Yardleys' elders."Marriage is not something a mere child like you can decide on. Since Mr. Sebastian has come to ask for your hand sincerely, you should accept him. The Boltons are one of Philodorah's three great noble families. They won't mistreat you."The one who

"You're the son-in-law of the Ashcrofts, not of the Yardleys! Get out of here and return to the Ashcrofts immediately!" Clyde, who had finally snapped back to his senses, roared furiously at Theodore. "The son-in-law of the Ashcrofts?" Theodore shot him a cold glance. "After thirteen years of sacrificing for the family, I'm nothing more than an outsider to you guys, huh?" The unfathomable gleam in his youthful eyes sent chills down Clyde's spine. It left him momentarily speechless even though he was an elder of the family. "Hahaha!" Sebastian burst into laughter. "Do you even realize what leaving the Ashcrofts means?" "I do." Theodore loosened his grip on Liliana and gently pushed her behind him. "Yet you still dare to show up?" Sebastian sneered. "It seems like you want to drag the Yardleys down with you!" "Drag them down with me?" A murderous glint flashed in Theodore's eyes as he stared at Sebastian coldly. "Why don't I kill you first before dragging them down
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 6
The grand hall was filled with the elders of the Yardleys.Clyde was at the front of the hall, presiding over the meeting. He knew exactly why the Ashcrofts had come. Given the current strength of the Yardleys, they had no choice but to submit. Even if Sebastian openly declared that he wanted to take Liliana as his mistress, they could only sacrifice her for the sake of the family. However, he hadn't expected the return of Theodore who had been the Ashcrofts' son-in-law for thirteen years! If not for the corpses strewn across the floor and the thick stench of blood lingering in the air, they would have thought they were dreaming. After a long silence, a wail of despair broke out. "They're dead… No… The Yardleys are done for! We're dead meat now!" It was Carson who spoke. His face turned pale as he stared at the lifeless bodies on the floor. The expressions of the other elders were just as grim. "If Liliana had become Sebastian's mistress, it could have bought us s
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 7
At this moment, Clyde finally came to his senses, his face darkening to an extreme. Theodore continued with a cold gaze, "I never figured it out back then. The fact that I possessed the Solarborn Physique was kept a strict secret within the family. Aside from Grandpa and my parents, no one else knew about it! And yet, when I was five years old, suddenly all of Philodorah knew!" "Nonsense!" Clyde shot to his feet and looked around at the others present. "Don't listen to this little brute! He's slandering me!" "Are you sure that I'm slandering you?" Theodore chuckled. "Then tell me, how do you know the words 'Seraphic Swordplay'? Did Grandpa tell you about it?" "Yes, yes! I heard it from Callum," Clyde quickly responded. "Callum told me about the sword technique." "Then, do you know why I married into the Ashcrofts? And why did I come back?" Theodore sneered. "Because… I brought the Seraphic Swordplay with me when I joined the Ashcrofts. Grandpa said that if I master it one

Theodore was seated where Clyde once was while holding his severed head which was still dripping blood.Meanwhile, Clyde's body lay lifeless in a pool of blood like the other corpses scattered across the hall. It was a shocking sight for the people present. Most of the Yardleys had hoped Theodore would stay with the Ashcrofts. That way, the other families in Philodorah would have some reservations about acting against them. Even if Theodore was crippled, he would remain the Ashcrofts' son-in-law as long as he was alive. The Yardleys and the Ashcrofts would still be tied together by their marriage alliance.However, no one had expected him to come home. Not only had he returned, but he had done so in the most dominant way possible. He had first killed Sebastian, who had come with a marriage proposal. Then, he exposed Clyde, the traitor who had leaked his family secrets all those years ago. The crowd stared at the young man before them and suddenly found him unfamiliar. H

Everyone was left stunned, especially Silas, who was still clinging to the cliffside. Watching Theodore leap into the lava, he had no idea what came over him, but in the next moment, he followed and jumped in too.The two cultivators from the Soaring Dragon Sect turned pale. They didn't dare jump after him and could only watch in horror as Silas plunged into the molten abyss, vanishing in the blink of an eye."What the hell are we supposed to do now? How do we explain this when we get back?" one of them asked, his face ashen."There's nothing to explain," someone said coldly. "We all say the same thing. He lost his footing and fell. End of story."Even Jeffrey hadn't expected the monk to be that reckless."Exactly. Both of them slipped. There's nothing we could do," added Hugh, the Dark Brotherhood disciple.The other three major sect representatives stayed silent. This wasn't exactly good news to them, but it wasn't bad news either.With Jeffrey and Hugh quickly slipping a few

Theodore surveyed the area and realized there was barely enough space to walk along the sides of the tunnel, but they would have to hug the wall. One misstep, and they would fall straight down.That unnatural red glow was clearly coming from the molten lava below, but this wasn't just any lava. No normal magma glowed like that."If I fall in there, I'll be incinerated instantly," Theodore muttered, his expression grim. Even with his body protected by sword force, he wouldn't last a second in that hellfire.Just then, he noticed something on the opposite wall. A figure in a black robe was already carefully inching along the narrow ledge, hugging the rock. The person had made it quite a distance already. Glancing across the gap, Theodore saw another tunnel on the far side."Well, aren't you sneaky," Theodore called out with a smirk."Cut the crap. If you don't want to die, stay back," the robed figure rasped.That voice belonged to Lynette.Naturally, Theodore didn't listen. He tu

As soon as Theodore stepped into the rift, his face was bathed in a strange red glow. Oddly enough, the light didn't spill out past the rift. It was like something was blocking it right at the entrance.Feeling the heat from that red glow, Theodore immediately knew there had to be an Exotic Flame inside. No ordinary fire could emit something this eerie.He had just taken a few steps when he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Silas following close behind.Theodore shot him an annoyed glare. "You really don't care about dying, do you, kid?""I'm scared," Silas replied quietly, keeping his head down. "But since you had the guts to come in, I figured I should too.""I've barely got ten percent of my spiritual power left. I'm injured and barely hanging on. I've got enough to worry about without looking after you," Theodore muttered as he walked."No need to worry about me," Silas said with a smile. "You just do what you need to do, Senior. I won't hold you back.""I h
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 97
That said, Theodore wasn't lying either. If the Cinder Fiend really absorbed the Exotic Flame inside, it would definitely evolve into the Sunbane Fiend. When that happened, the entire Kingdom of Avelon could be reduced to ashes.It was just that the moment wouldn't come quite so soon."So, what do we do now?" Marie was completely at a loss."You stay here. I'll go in with the others," Theodore said. "They're planning to send people in, right? You should recommend me.""Why are you so set on going in?" Marie asked, curious."I want the treasure too," Theodore replied. "What if I'm the chosen one? Wouldn't that be my big break?"Marie rolled her eyes, but she chose to believe him.She immediately took Theodore to the main camp where the major factions were still debating over who to send into the rift.No one was willing to volunteer. After all, they had all seen the Cinder Fiend's power during the day. Against that thing, Energy Refinement Stage cultivators had no chance. They w

Inside the camp, cultivators from the various sects were puzzled by what they had just witnessed. They immediately dispatched several people to investigate. It didn't take long before a report came back."The fissure in the mountain has indeed begun to close, but there's still a gap wide enough to fit three people. There's a faint red glow coming from inside."The leading cultivators from each sect began discussing what to do next. Marie also went to eavesdrop on the meeting and didn't return for nearly an hour."They're planning to head into the mountain to investigate," Marie said when she came back."Idiots. They're throwing their lives away for treasure. If they run into that Cinder Fiend in there, they'll be reduced to ash."Hearing this, Theodore chuckled and said, "Do you know why the Cinder Fiend returned to the mountain after night fell?"Marie blinked, surprised. "You know why?"Theodore stepped out of the tent and pointed up at the moon. "Because of that.""The moon?
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 95
The Cinder Fiend was born from absorbing the fire of heaven and earth. If it managed to absorb the Exotic Flame within that fissure, it would evolve into something far more terrifying—a Sunbane Fiend.And once a Sunbane Fiend was unleashed, everything within a hundred miles would be scorched to ashes.Forget Azure Dragon Peak. If that thing emerged, the entire city of Philodorah could be reduced to cinders. The Yardleys wouldn't even need the Dark Brotherhood to wipe them out. This creature alone could do it."This Cinder Fiend seems to be under some kind of restriction. If we can figure out its weakness, we might be able to get inside that fissure," Theodore said, his eyes fixed on the mountain.Marie stared at him in disbelief. "Are you insane?! Didn't you see those cultivators just now? They were vaporized before they could even react!""I saw." Theodore nodded. "If things go south, we leave immediately. I'm not stupid enough to throw my life away."That reassured Marie a litt
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 94
From a distance, the entire mountain looked like it was ablaze. Strangely, though, a massive fissure had split the mountain open, and the blinding red light was pouring out from within that crack.The massive beast stood at the summit, letting out a series of thunderous roars. Even though they were over half a mile away, both Theodore and Marie could feel the sheer, overwhelming pressure in those cries.“A Cinder Fiend!”Theodore swallowed hard as he stared at the creature. “With that kind of aura, it's at least a Grade Three beast.”“Grade Three?”Marie’s face turned pale. “That’s basically on par with the Core Ascension Stage, isn’t it?”In the realm of cultivators, becoming an immortal meant ascending beyond the mundane. The growth in stages was Energy Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Core Ascension.Once someone reached the Core Ascension Stage, they could control an Aetherblade and even kill an enemy a thousand miles away with a single slash. Marie had never even s

"Huh?" Theodore looked at her, puzzled. "You've come to Azure Dragon Peak so many times. Wasn't it all for this treasure? If you miss it now, wouldn't that be a huge waste?""To me, you are the greatest treasure," Marie said softly, her cheeks flushing red again.Theodore gave a wry smile. "Then, I'll go with you. I may be injured, but I can still hold my own. Besides, I've got someone watching over me in secret."Hearing that, Marie suddenly thought of the mysterious cultivator in black. That finally put her mind at ease. "Who was that person, anyway?""I told you. I inherited my ancestor's legacy. That person is its guardian. But unless things get really dire, she won't intervene," Theodore explained.Since Marie had shown enough goodwill, he figured it was only right to be a little more forthcoming. If they were going to keep working together, she deserved some peace of mind."Was that sword technique you used part of the legacy, too?" Marie asked."It was." Theodore nodded.
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 92
Marie's expression darkened. If it were the old Vivienne who had said such a thing, she would've brushed it off as immature nonsense. However, the Vivienne standing before her now was a completely different person.She had mastered the Primordial Technique, become the heir to a sect, and held significant influence within the Dark Brotherhood. If she truly rose to the position of sect leader one day, war between the Dark Brotherhood and the Kingdom of Avelon's royal family would be inevitable.Frankly, the royal family wouldn't have the upper hand. Sure, they controlled Heaven's Reach Academy, but if it came down to an all-out war, not every cultivator in the academy would necessarily side with the crown."Three years from now, maybe it'll be the Dark Brotherhood that's wiped off the map," Theodore replied in a steady voice.He was confident that in three years, he would be able to crush Vivienne and perhaps even the entire Dark Brotherhood.The cultivators from Dark Brotherhood fr
