Upon entering the cave dwelling, the man arrived at the alchemy room.Soon, he discovered that the pills were missing from the room. His eyes, which were hidden behind a mask, began to gleam brilliantly.With a subtle "clink", the man unsheathed a long sword from his waist. Its blade was blood red, shrouded in a layer of black mist. The moment it was unsheathed, the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees."Show yourself!" he yelled hoarsely. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly, but no one came. Even so, he did not lower his guard and continued moving around with calculated steps.Only after twenty minutes and he had confirmed there was no one in the cave dwelling did he re-sheath his sword. He rubbed his chin, seemingly in contemplation.After a long time, he returned to the alchemy room.He stayed there for an hour; while he was inside, there was a constant buzzing noise. The room was lit up by a dazzling light that lasted for a long time before fading away slowly

"Don't tell me, you're here for the relics too?" asked Theodore unhappily."Yes, but… I don't know if you know this, but rumor has it that the ancient cultivators actually came in search of a treasure. It led to a massive battle at Azure Dragon Peak, which turned into a final resting place for countless cultivators. The monsters that got wiped out were merely collateral casualties from the battle," explained Marie. "What kind of treasure do you mean?" Theodore asked again; he subconsciously reached for the hilt of the Dark Sword at his waist. "It's rumored to be an alchemy furnace that fell from the sky," Marie replied. "From the sky, you say?" Theodore withdrew his hand from the hilt. For a moment, he thought the treasure would be his sword."Yes. When it fell from the sky, it created a massive crater in the forest. The area within a few miles of the impact burned for weeks." "So, you're here in search of the furnace?" "It's not just me. Every ten years, immortals will com

After dealing with the affairs at Yardley Manor, Theodore entered the secret room and began his cultivation. In his hands were a total of twenty-nine Energy Cultivating Pills, nineteen of which were middle-grade, and ten of which were high-grade. For ordinary warriors, as long as they handled the process properly, breaking through to the Energy Refinement Stage would not be an issue. However, Theodore was no ordinary warrior.His body carried the Sword Orb, which meant his cultivation was different from that of ordinary people.The moment he inherited the Sword Orb, his physique had changed fundamentally. His body was now more attuned to swords, which was why they called it the Swordborn Constitution. This Swordborn Constitution was created by his ancestor, the Lord of Eternity and Great Emperor Ezekiel, who studied the mysterious Seraphic Swordplay Archive. However, even Emperor Ezekiel did not cultivate the Swordborn Physique. It could be said that the Swordborn Physiqu

At that moment, Theodore swallowed an Energy Cultivating Pill. A huge wave of medicinal energy swept into his body. Theodore immediately began circulating the sword intent, which guided the medicinal energy around his body. Upon completing the small and large circulations, the medicinal energy was brought into the energy core, where it was converted into the purest internal energy.This energy was instantly absorbed by the Sword Orb and turned into ultra-refined sword intent.This cycle was repeated numerous times, and Theodore's Swordborn Physique grew even more potent. As the sword intent in his body increased, his meridians began to expand.Half an hour later, Theodore swallowed the second Energy Cultivation Pill. As soon as the medicinal energy entered his body, the internal energy within his body began to condense and gather. However, it was quickly absorbed by the Sword Orb again.The light which lit up the secret room grew brighter and stronger. Theodore's skin became fair
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 54
Once the vortex of internal energy turned into crystal clear liquid, Theodore knew he had taken the biggest step in his life. From then on, he was officially an immortal— a figure revered by the people of Philodorah.This crystal clear liquid was none other than spiritual power.Only by transforming internal energy into spiritual power could it be absorbed for cultivation. As its physical form changed, so did its qualities. With a wave of his hand, the sword on his waist was unsheathed and fell into his hand. As the spiritual power circulated his body, some started flowing into the sword. Once this occurred, his sword began to feel like an extension of his arm. As he held the sword, Theodore tried activating the Sword Orb using his spiritual power. In the blink of an eye, his consciousness was brought to a silver-colored space. This was the space within the Sword Orb. However, it was empty as a void. Still, Theodore was not disappointed. Most of his ancestral treasures we

Bodies belonging to members of the Ashcroft family would turn up everywhere around Philodorah. The moment these people left home, they would be at risk of death.For the Ashcrofts, there was virtually no safe place except for Ashcroft Manor. The Ashcrofts, who were supposed to be enjoying their moment of dominance, were now in a state of emergency. Charles Ashcroft wanted to kill Simon Clayton. He had several traps set up, but they were all discovered beforehand.All this was because Theodore decided to release Simon to haunt the Ashcrofts. Charles was furious with Theodore. To him, the boy was merely an ant that could be easily crushed. However, this ant had grown to become a giant threat. The demise of the Clayton and Bolton families should have been advantageous to the Ashcroft family. Yet, it appeared the final winner was, in truth, the Yardleys. "What has the Yardleys been up to recently? Has Simon been to Yardley Manor?" asked Charles.Beside him, a man in black repl
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 56
Charles didn't expect the young man to be so straightforward. Upon recalling that he was dealing with an immortal, he figured that it made sense.It didn't matter if it was the Yardleys or the Ashcrofts; in the eyes of an immortal, they were nothing but ants. Perhaps they were stronger or harder to kill, but they were equally easy to kill regardless.Charles issued his order. "Gather our men and send them to Yardley Manor, now! Little brute, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve this time!" A moment later, all the grandmasters from the Ashcroft family were summoned. A grand formation set forth for Yardley Manor.The moment the young immortal entered Ashcroft Manor, Marie immediately caught wind of what was to come. While tagging along, she sent someone to deliver the news to the Yardleys.At the same time, Theodore, who had just subdued the Dark Sword, didn't even have time to test its powers before the bell in the secret room rang.Opening the door, Theodore saw Austin

Callum started to tremble. He recalled the scene where his eldest son was killed thirteen years ago. He clenched his fists and looked at Anthony, who shook his head at him resolutely.This gesture relieved Callum, but also gave him discomfort. All of a sudden, an old man dressed in black stepped forward and said, "Sir, to my understanding, these pills are the work of Theodore Yardley!" It was none other than Mr. Hunt, who had betrayed the Boltons and defected to the Yardleys. The moment Mr. Hunt felt the aura of the young immortal, he knew the Yardleys were doomed. And so, he led the Ashcrofts to capture Callum and Anthony. He was the reason why half of the grandmasters at Yardley Manor had surrendered to the Ashcrofts. "If we want to know how the pills come about, we must capture his sister, Liliana Yardley," Mr. Hunt added. "Once we capture that girl, Theodore will think twice before acting rashly. I happen to know where she's hiding." "Where is she?" asked Charles. "I

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
