"Sebastian, I'll fight you to the death!" Derek shouted at the sight of Sebastian killing Keith and not even leaving a corpse behind. His eyes turned bloodshot instantly, and he lunged at Sebastian like a ravenous wolf.There was another bang. Sebastian didn't even look at him. He waved a hand and sent Derek tumbling out several feet away from him, and Derek fainted on the spot.He then turned and eyed Emil. He said calmly, "You're very arrogant, Yutarian beast. Didn't anyone tell you that you're standing on Dramon soil? How dare a beast like you try to boast in front of the citizens of Dramon? What gave you the audacity to do so?"Emil's expression darkened at once. No one had ever pointed at him and called him a Yutarian beast to his face!"Young man, I was afraid that we'd have to go looking everywhere for you. I didn't expect you to turn up on your own without any regard for your own life. Alright. I'll use your head as a sacrifice for my blade today!" Emil unsheathed his Yutar
As soon as Emil finished talking, he lunged toward Sebastian!Faced with Sebastian's unfathomable power, he didn't dare to let his guard down. He used his signature move at once—the Leydo Strike.He could have cut through a steel pillar as thick as a water tank with that blow. Even an expert at the advanced seventh level of the Celestial realm would have to avoid the fatal move.However, Sebastian only parried the blow casually, even though Emil had used all his strength. A bright gleam of light met Emil's saber.Emil had been laughing at Sebastian's ignorance, but then he immediately felt like his saber had sliced into a comet that was plunging rapidly."Huh?" Even Emil was shocked. Sebastian had only thrown out a casual blow, but the force of it was already equal to his best move!Before he could recover, the two terrifying forces collided together and caused an enormous bang.A figure shot backward like a cannonball that had just been fired. Emil fell heavily onto the gro
Sebastian used the Wind Phantom technique from the Divine Art. He seemed to move almost instantaneously, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of Magnus.Sebastian landed a slap on Magnus' chest. The man didn't even make a sound as he flew several feet backward through the air and crashed heavily into the ground!Trafford couldn't help but gasp when he saw what had happened. Even he couldn't have handled the battle as casually as Sebastian had.The three of them were top experts. Even if their training was only at the seventh level of the Celestial realm, it was enough to break through Trafford's protective shield!If his protective shield was broken, even a formation phase expert in the Eldoria realm like Trafford could only flee against the joint attack of the three warriors. He could never have made Magnus and Devin shed blood like Sebastian had done! At that moment, he suddenly turned to look at Kody and Branson."Your lackeys were the ones who brought Keith i
As the roars of fury from Emil, Magnus, and Devin rang out, dust rose from the arena.The four of them were almost completely enveloped by the dust, and the audience couldn't see anything at all.An intense murderous aura formed bolts of energy that ricocheted recklessly.Ordinary people in the audience couldn't withstand the force of the intense energy at all. Several people in the first row were severely injured.The others began retreating, and even Derek was shaken awake by the intense pain.Rosalie watched from the stands, her jaw hanging open. She couldn't help but worry over Sebastian. After all, the force of the energy was terrifying. It was beyond what any ordinary person could bear.The first person to attack Sebastian in the dust and smoke was Emil. He didn't hold back and unleashed a flurry of slashes. His saber moved in a blur, and the attacks seemed to come in violent waves!Emil was using as much power as he could.All three of them knew very well that between th
This wasn't just the difference between them in training. It was also about battle experience.After all, Magnus, Devin, and Emil weren't inexperienced nobodies. All three of them had been through hundreds of battles and were very experienced.However, they were as defenseless as a baby when faced with Sebastian.But… Sebastian was so young. How could a young man in his 20s have such extensive battle experience? Not only that, his calm and assured demeanor wasn't something that could be faked."How is this possible?" Trafford's pupils constricted as he murmured to himself in disbelief.Kody laughed wryly and said, "That day in Pill Valley, we reacted the same way you did. We didn't want to believe all of this was true, but look!"Branson sighed softly and said, "Mr. Callahan wasn't just utterly destroyed in pill refining. He couldn't retaliate at all in mystic arts or martial arts either."Trafford's shock and alarm reached its peak. Sebastian walked out of the dust and smoke
Everyone there was shocked at what they had just seen.What was going on? Had the Yutarian beast gotten kicked in the head by a mule? Why would he have summoned a bolt of lightning to strike himself?"What the heck? The Yutarians have weird fetishes.""That's not surprising. It fits them."The audience began to murmur, their speculation running wild.However, Emil was in no mood to listen to them. He had even begun to suspect that Sebastian wasn't human.He, Devin, and Magnus were all experts renowned for their ferocity. However, they had all been thoroughly beaten by a young man in his 20s. They hadn't even gotten a chance to retaliate.That didn't make sense at all!All three of them were covered in blood, but Sebastian was spotless. There wasn't even a speck of dust on him!If Sebastian had defeated them in martial arts alone, they would have accepted it. However, Emil had just used a Shendo technique!So many of Dramon's martial arts experts had been killed by his Shendo
"You were given the name because you look like beasts!" Sebastian jabbed his finger again and cut off Emil's arms.Emil could barely breathe from the pain. He was no longer arrogant at all."Oh right. What did you say you were?"Emil shuddered at the sound of Sebastian's icy voice. Before he could recover, Sebastian pointed at his abdomen.A hole appeared in Emil's stomach from the force of Sebastian's finger. The bloody hole the size of his finger began spurting blood. "As you wished, your blood will soon form a river." Sebastian laughed coldly as he pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into one of Emil's major acupuncture points. As the silver needle pierced him, Emil's nerves were stimulated, and the blood began gushing at twice the speed.When Emil felt himself rapidly losing blood, he turned white with fright. Sebastian was going to let him bleed to death."Sebastian, you— I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! I… I want to go to the embassy—"Sebastian slappe
Sebastian glanced briefly at Derek, who was half-dead. Then, he looked up at Grant, Frederick, and the others in the stands, who had all turned pale with fright. "You should have gone the same way as they did," he said coldly. "However, since you're Warrior League apprentices, Madam Dragon can decide on your fate."Belinda looked gratefully at Sebastian. He had shown the Warrior League great respect in not executing Derek and the others on the spot. He had preserved the last vestiges of the Warrior League's dignity.Sebastian pointed at the podium, where Ethan looked very nervous. He asked coldly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to battle to the death with me? Get down here and get ready to die!"Ethan swallowed and trembled as he swallowed the Solpill. His energy suddenly multiplied tenfold, and in the blink of an eye, he had a terrifying energy that was equal to that of someone at the most advanced stage of the Celestial realm.When Ethan felt the limitless power inside him, he
"Isabella, our son is all grown up now," Samson whispered. "I wonder when our family can reunite…"His eyes misted over."Is Mom really in the Holy Grandia?" Sebastian's voice suddenly came from behind him. Samson hastily wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes. He turned to look at Sebastian and exhaled as he smiled bitterly. "I don't know either," he replied. "After I kicked you and your mother out of the family back then, I was brought here. From that day on, this little area became my whole world."Hugo had been the one who had brought him the news of Isabella attacking the Ballard Estate with experts from the Thorne family. In the end, the condition of the truce between the Ballards and the Thornes was that Hugo would be allowed to stay at the Ballard Estate and ensure Samson's safety.Apart from that, Samson had no other news of Isabella. Sebastian walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Samson. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of fragrant tea f
Sebastian exhaled softly and pointed at the technique he had just handed to Whitney. He said, "If you can memorize this technique within three days, I can teach you."The technique Sebastian had given her was a basic introduction to the martial arts. It was also a basic technique for mystic arts practitioners, but it would let someone of Whitney's disposition become a sage even more quickly.That meant that Whitney had the advantage over ordinary Warriors. It was Sebastian's final favor to her."Alright! I'll recite it to you tomorrow morning!" Whitney said firmly, clenching her fists tightly. Sebastian smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should get to bed soon. I'll get going now."Upon seeing that Sebastian was leaving, Whitney got up quickly and grabbed hold of him. "Can't you stay?" she asked.After their divorce, Whitney had never spent any time alone with Sebastian. Even at the convenience store, Rosalie had always been with them.It was a r
Whitney smiled bitterly, but tears spilled down her cheeks. She said to Sebastian, her voice choking up with emotion, "I see that I was in the wrong all along. But… but it wasn't that I didn't trust you, it's just that—"Sebastian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. He said calmly, "Actually, you were just blinded by the false fame and power of the world."In your heart, you feel that only money can prove a person's worth. In terms of wealth, I'm just a lazy and complacent dolt when compared with those so-called successful people."Sebastian's words seemed to cut Whitney like a knife. It wasn't all her fault. After all, historically, most people used money to measure the success of a person. Otherwise, why would there be the saying of how no one remembered the poor, but everyone showed up for the rich?"The truth is that all those wealthy heirs are worth even less than a dog to the Warriors and the mystic sects. "I don't fight with the people of the worl
Whitney perked up at Sebastian's question. "It's all because you ran into the two monsters that day," she said. "I saw it on the surveillance footage. That was when I realized that the two women living in the store don't have that kind of relationship with you…"Whitney had never asked, and Sebastian hadn't bothered to explain who Nina and Lyanna were. That was why she had mistakenly thought that both of them were Sebastian's lovers as well.Realization had only dawned on her when she heard Nina address Sebastian as her master, even in her dying breath. Whitney had seen how powerful Nina was that day and how she had been willing to die in order to protect Sebastian.Nina and Lyanna weren't Sebastian's lovers. They were his servants. Not only that, Nina was a thousand-year-old giant snake!That had completely changed Whitney's view of the world. Although there had always been legends of mystical beings and ghosts, Whitney was an accomplished businesswoman who believed firmly in sc
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. "I'm not from the Ballard Estate," he said. "My name is Sebastian, and it's better if my cousin weren't seen around me too much.""Oh, you're Sebastian."The two young women breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked him up and down for a long time before exchanging a glance. Then, they covered their faces and giggled.One of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me. Honestly… you seem pretty normal. I don't get why Ms. Sutton is yearning for you so much."Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly and said nothing.The young woman led Sebastian into the house, where Whitney was sitting and reading a book intently. She said, "Ms. Sutton, look who's here."Whitney put down her book and looked up. When she saw Sebastian behind the young woman, she was both surprised and delighted. She got up and threw herself into Sebastian's arms."Sebastian, is it really you?"The young woman covered her face and chuckled before leaving the room sile
Sebastian watched Andreas leave and exhaled deeply. Preston wasn't the only one he didn't trust. No one in the Ballard Estate was worthy of his trust, including Andreas.Once Andreas had completely disappeared, Sebastian beckoned to the woods in the distance and said, "Come out!"In a flash, Duo appeared at his side. "My lord, why didn't you wipe out those people in the hall today?" he asked.Duo clenched his fists tightly, and there was a murderous look simmering in his eyes. Although he hadn't been in the hall, he had clearly heard everything the Ballards had said.Anyone who disrespected his master deserved death!Besides, neither Sebastian nor Duo would have had to lift a finger to kill them. All they had to do was to crush the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and trigger the divine tribulation. Once it descended, no one in the hall would have lived to tell the tale, including Arnaud."If we become hostile with the Ballards, it'll be almost impossible for us to leave in peace. Now
"It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow
"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of
Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were
