Everyone in the main hall shared Charles' thoughts. Theodore had been the Ashcrofts' furnace for the past thirteen years. He couldn't be Marie's teacher. Not to mention, their status was far apart. However, Marie simply nodded. "That's right. Theodore is my teacher." The Yardleys were dumbfounded to hear it.Charles' face became as pale as a sheet. " Your Highness… Please don't joke with me!" "Who's joking with you?" Marie took out a badge. "Not only is Theodore my teacher, but he's also the Chancellor of Heaven's Reach Academy." Marie's first disclosure was already quite surprising, but they didn't expect something even more astonishing to come after that. "Heaven's Reach Badge… That's the Heaven's Reach Badge! That's the Kingdom of Avelon's Heaven's Reach Badge!" "Whoever holds the badge can enter the inner sanctum of Heaven's Reach Academy to train and cultivate. Who is she? Why would she have such a badge?" "She casually dismisses the Dark Brotherhood, and Charles

Spurt! Callum appeared right in front of Charles. A flash, and his blade came down with great vengeance. After so long, thirteen years of pent-up resentment was finally released.Anthony also appeared right in front of Ben. With a single slash, Ben was also cleaved in half. "Kill them all!" Anthony yelled as he turned around, his murderous intent clear. With his command, the elites of the Yardley family surged forward and immediately attacked the Ashcrofts. In just a short while, the battle was already over. Most of the Ashcrofts' elites chose to surrender as they had no other choice. The three great noble families of Philodorah were all over, and all the Ashcrofts' retainers had been wiped out. Austin and Liliana, arriving late, noticed that the battle was already over. Initially, Austin went to find Liliana with the intention of fleeing together. However, the events that had transpired thoroughly stunned him. - Theodore sat cross-legged on a cushion in a secret cham

"The Ashcrofts went to the Yardleys yesterday, claiming that they wanted to wipe the Yardleys out. No one expected that they would be wiped out instead!" "The Ashcrofts attacking the Yardleys? How's that possible? Aren't they in-laws? Why would the Ashcrofts attack the Yardleys?" "Ah, you didn't know. Originally, Philodorah's three noble families were in a state of equilibrium. None of them could destroy the other two families. After the Boltons and Claytons were gone, only the Yardleys were left. Of course the Ashcrofts would march against the Yardleys to claim Philodorah as their own. No one would have guessed that the Yardleys would come out on top instead!" "The Yardleys hid their strength well enough. I heard Theodore is already an immortal, too. News from the Yardleys is that he has also acquired the Heaven's Reach Badge and will cultivate in Heaven's Reach Academy soon. Meanwhile, the Ashcroft patriarch, Charles, was killed after he led his men to the Yardleys." "An immo

As soon as the man said that, a thick, bloody aura burst out from him. The powerful aura of suppression made Theodore's body tremble involuntarily. Facing the man, Theodore couldn't even find the strength to draw his sword. "Foundation Establishment Stage! Aura of blood!" Theodore said in shock. "You're a demonic cultivator!" "For someone so young and from such a backwater family, you have quite the knowledge," the man said as he approached Theodore slowly. With every step he took, Theodore could feel the pressure on him growing even stronger. His body trembled even more. Clang! A flash of light pierced the air, and Theodore channeled his Sword Orb. Spiritual power erupted from within his energy core, and he immediately thrust his sword at the man. Fwoosh! The man simply raised his hands; in slow motion, he caught Theodore's blade between his two fingers. The spiritual power covering the blade instantly dissipated. Cling! The man gently flicked his finger on the bla
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 70
Had the man's attack landed, Theodore wouldn't be able to survive even with his Swordborn Constitution. His opponent was a demonic cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with powers that surpassed those of ordinary cultivators. However, the man stopped his fist less than an inch away from Theodore's abdomen. Theodore could feel the aura of blood brushing against him. "How did you know that my power is destabilized?" the man asked coldly. After coughing a few times, Theodore straightened up and said, "Let's go inside. This isn't the place for such talks." The man glanced at the door into the secret chamber and went in. A while later, he and Theodore sat face to face against each other. "Alright, speak. What's going on here?" the man demanded coldly. "If you lie to me, I'll kill you, then your entire family!" Theodore could finally confirm that this was indeed the owner of the cave dwelling in Beargrowl Valley. Since he was here, that meant all the tricks he employ
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 71
Saying all this, Theodore was already grinning from ear to ear. "The last thing you'd expect would be this intruder being inferior to you!""Give me the cure!"Lynette rose to her feet, drawing all her power into a fearsome blaze as she advanced menacingly upon Theodore."Don't do anything hasty!" he called out. "Kill me, and your own fate will truly be sealed."Lynette glared at him for a long while before dismissing her power. "I'll say it again. I have a great many ways to make you talk.""The truth is, we have no reason to fight each other. You develop your magic, and I'll train my skills. To each their own. I only drugged you as a precaution in case of situations exactly like this one right here!" Theodore chuckled. "If I simply wanted you dead, there are more potent ingredients I could have used. You wouldn't even have the chance to discuss the matter with me like this.""You presume a lot for a common grunt," Lynette hissed contemptuously."And yet, this common grunt brok

Lynette didn't understand why Theodore wanted to go looking for trouble on Azure Dragon Peak. For a while now, however, she had been sensing that something was amiss with the place.Anyway, he had killed one of the Dark Brotherhood. Going up there would be suicide for him.After spending several days at Yardley Manor, Lynette finally came to understand Theodore's interest in Azure Dragon Peak, having learned about the decade of misfortune his family had suffered."If I were you, I'd leave Philodorah without delay and flee with Marie to Heaven's Reach."Three days later, having settled various affairs at home, Theodore departed from the city. Lynette was the only one accompanying him. Ahead of them, Marie had already led a separate contingent up to Azure Dragon Peak.Recently, the strange activity there had become more evident. Looking out from Philodorah at night, one could faintly see a peculiar glow coming from that mountain."If you seek asylum within Heaven's Reach Academy, n

Theodore stared at her in surprise.Before he could ask her anything, Lynette added, "Don't think too much about it. I may be called the Angel of Death, but my powers are far from absolute. Anyway, you've seen my cauldron…"Lynette stopped here and peered closely at Theodore. This was a test to assess his worth as an alchemist."Yes, a middle-grade item, at best. A far cry from an artifact of legend." Theodore could hardly care less about her opinion of him, of course. "That maze sure is something special, though."Once again, Lynette had confirmed that he was someone extraordinary indeed. This made it even easier to believe everything he'd told her so far. "So, how did you get through it? Another talent passed down through the generations?"Lynette had learned that Theodore had only recently broken through to the Energy Refinement Stage. Rather than diminishing her estimation of him, it instead made her even more awed by his actual level of ability.She needed to know more about

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
Heaven Defying Alchemy Overlord Chapter 96
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
