Although Draconis Sanctuary was ancient, it was quite expansive.Finding a serene bamboo grove, Ruby sat on a stone bench. Her playful demeanor from earlier was gone, replaced with an aloof and haughty air.With a serious expression, she said, "I've heard that you have a marriage agreement with my sister?""I knew it would be about this nonsense." Gideon sighed in exasperation. "I've already called off the engagement, so don't worry. I won't stoop to clinging to the Mosleys. Are you satisfied?""It's good you have some self-awareness, but even though you've annulled the engagement, the matter isn't resolved yet!""What do you mean by that?"Ruby didn't know how to respond for a moment.Should she tell him that her father wholeheartedly supported this marriage and intended for Lavinia to bring him into the family for the wedding?If she said that, Gideon might change his mind and shamelessly insist on marrying Lavinia.Ruby's eyes darted as she thought, then she said, "Here's t
Ruby was stunned. Earlier, it had taken her a while to confirm what the Jadeblood Herb was.But now, Geoffrey had identified it as the best quality Jadeblood Herb the moment he got his hands on it. His sharp eyes were truly impressive.Geoffrey glanced at Ruby and snorted coldly. "Where did this little girl come from? She lacks manners!""Old man, who are you calling rude?" Ruby retorted arrogantly.Gideon interjected, "She's the daughter of the Mosley family in Drammore. Her sister is the only female war hero in Dasovia, Lavinia Mosley.""Is that so?"Ruby smirked smugly. "Old man, do you still think I'm rude now?"Geoffrey snorted. "The little Mosley family, with just one war hero, means nothing in my eyes!""You!" Ruby was furious.What was it with Goldspire? It seemed to be full of people pretending to be all high and mighty.First, it was Tanner. Now, Geoffrey came along spouting nonsense and acting so arrogant."Don't bother with her." Gideon then asked, "What treasure
Meanwhile, Gideon and Geoffrey returned to Beaker Island, and the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill began.Considering it was an ancient formula, refining it was exceedingly difficult. With such a limited amount of precious herbs available, extreme caution was required. Any mistake, like an explosion in the furnace, would mean losing everything.Fortunately, Geoffrey's skills were solid. With Gideon's timely guidance, they finally succeeded in refining a batch of Rejuvenation Pills after a full day and night."It's done! It's finally done!" Geoffrey was overjoyed.Succeeding once meant succeeding a second, third, or countless more times. It was easy to imagine the impact. Once this long-lasting Rejuvenation Pill was introduced to the world, it would create a storm!Who didn't want to look good? Not just women—men, too. The entire world would go crazy for it. Endless wealth would pour in."Sir, since this ancient formula for the Rejuvenation Pill came from you, I've decide
"Sir, something terrible has happened!" The butler's panicked shout brought the entire crowd to a standstill.Caspian's face darkened.This was the critical moment of the apprenticeship ceremony, and someone dared to cause a scene. Outrageous!"You insolent fool! Can't you see Timothy is in the middle of the ceremony? Who allowed you to shout like this? Someone, drag him out and give him a hundred whips!""Sir, it's a major issue!"Caspian's eyebrows twitched.The butler had served him faithfully for over a decade and was usually calm and composed. For him to lose his cool like this, the matter had to be serious.Hanson was equally displeased. He said coldly, "What could be so major? What could possibly happen to the Yates family? Does anyone in Goldspire not know that I am accepting Timothy as my disciple today? Who dares create trouble at this moment?"In the audience, toward the back of the crowd, Ruby sneered. "Lav, that old man with the goatee is truly arrogant!"Lavinia
Yates Group was the largest pharmaceutical corporation in Goldspire, so Russell chose it without hesitation. Thus, this scene unfolded."Mr. Briggs," a junior disciple called out and reported, "a large group of people has gathered outside the building. Leading them are members of the Yates family, and they seem furious.""Excellent!" Russell stood up with a smile. "Everyone, let's go take a look."Before Hanson, Caspian, and the others could step into the building, Russell and his group emerged."Hmm?" Hanson's eyes flickered with unease.As the senior of the Glevensky family, he had seen his fair share of prominent figures.Immediately, he noticed the extraordinary demeanor of Russell and his companions, guessing they had to come from a powerful background.However, Caspian was furious. "So, it's you kids who dared to acquire Yates Group! Such arrogance!"Russell responded, "You must be Caspian, the head of the Yates family. I've already placed the contract in the conference r
Silence engulfed the scene. It was the kind of deathly silence that swallowed everything.Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Hanson himself felt his mind go blank, unable to process what had just happened.Russell remained composed and refined, chuckling softly. "Mr. Glevensky, do you still think we're being arrogant now?"Finally, Hanson snapped out of his daze. His hair stood on end.Russell was incredibly strong! He was undoubtedly a top-tier expert, far beyond Hanson's ability to contend with. No wonder he was so domineering. His confidence came from terrifying strength.Although Russell appeared refined, his tone polite and even accompanied by a smile, Hanson could feel the sharp, oppressive energy emanating from him, subtle yet suffocating.At this moment, Hanson had no choice but to set everything else aside. He scrambled to his feet, clasped his hands, and said respectfully, "I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable, young friend. I'm impressed. It seems I spoke out
Lavinia couldn't help but admire Russell. He was someone so powerful yet genuinely humble. It was clear he wasn't faking it. His sincerity set him apart from countless men of his age."May I ask, Mr. Briggs, where are you from?""Well…" Russell paused briefly.Lavinia quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, that's perfectly fine. I apologize for being presumptuous.""It's not really a secret. I'm from Healers Valley.""Healers Valley?" She froze for a moment.A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Healers Valley! You mean that Healers Valley?"Russell replied, "How many Healers Valleys do you think there are in the world?"Lavinia's mind was in turmoil.On the other hand, Ruby covered her mouth in shock."That's right!" She was elated. "The Medicine Sovereign is here in Goldspire, isn't he? Mr. Briggs, you must be here with him, right?""How do you know Mr. Howell is in Goldspire?""Classified intel," Ruby said with a chuckle, her eyes twinkling. Sh
"Lav, this is truly a blessing from above! Just a few days ago, I was sad that I couldn't meet the Medicine Sovereign, and now, we're directly collaborating with Healers Valley," Ruby exclaimed, clearly in an excellent mood."As long as I build a good relationship with Russell, Lav, I might even be able to join Healers Valley. If that happens, the Mosley family will have a powerful backer.""Keep it up!" Lavinia was also delighted. Seeing Ruby thrive was a great joy for the family.Ruby said, "I need to hurry up and relocate the company. The Hackle family has been targeting me in Drammore, so I'll just give up that market for now. "Once I've solidified my relationship with Healers Valley, I'll return with a vengeance. The Hackle family? They're nothing more than ants compared to Healers Valley."…That day, the Mosley family in Drammore held a meeting. Everyone was brimming with excitement.The Mosleys actively assisted Ruby in relocating her pharmaceutical company, creating a
Gideon couldn't quite explain it, but he sensed something deep within him. He decided it was the perfect moment to attempt to oversee the entire nation.The task proved to be quite challenging. Gideon wasn't a king. He had merely been granted the dragon vein's blessing. He walked up to the grand and revered statue of the king, aiming to harness the power of Chase's statue. Gideon discarded the imperial decree, causing the imperial essence blood within to erupt and surprisingly animate Chase's statue. Suddenly, thousands of beams of divine light appeared. The scene was both majestic and awe-inspiring. The statue of the deity wasn't a tangible object. It appeared to be formed from a combination of dragon vein energy and the nation's destiny, merging reality with illusion.Gideon boldly charged into Chase's statue. Instantly, he experienced a sensation of being the ruler of the world. Right now, his understanding of the eastern side intensified."Eastern plains!" Gideon's eyelids f
What an incredible compression! Gideon condensed the impressive and fearsome energy to its utmost limit, creating an energy sphere the size of an egg. That could be the ultimate core. Naturally, it was only a possibility.Gideon had no knowledge of how to form a supreme core. He was merely speculating, unaware of what the outcomes might be.As the pressure increased, the energy sphere shrank further, and the potential threat intensified. If Gideon lost control, the compressed energy sphere would rapidly expand and ultimately explode. He couldn't bear to think about the consequences.Colossus Dragon Mountain was on the verge of collapsing, potentially harming the dragon vein. This was a national treasure of immense significance. It wasn't just any ordinary dragon vein. If it was damaged, Dasovia's destiny would undoubtedly diminish to some degree.This was extremely important, so Gideon had to give it his all. The veins across his body popped out, and his usually handsome face con
Beneath Colossus Dragon Mountain, Gideon had undergone a complete transformation inside the underground palace. An immense energy enveloped his whole being. His core was incredibly strong and robust. The power of his physique had escalated to a frightening degree. His vital energy and blood were coursing intensely.Not even a creature at the half apex of an overbeast could likely rival Gideon in the intensity of his vital energy and blood flow. At that moment, he resembled a humanoid tyrannosaurus. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged behind him, slowly taking on a solid form. This was the Heaven-Earth Incarnation.Gideon was on the verge of completing his final effort. He was nearly there, just a bit more to go. Once he overcame this obstacle, his Heaven-Earth Incarnation would have reached the early stage.Just a little bit! Just a little bit more! In Gideon's imagination, the ghostly image of the king from Nethercult repeatedly surfaced, vivid and realistic. The shadowy fig
Bennett's face shifted quickly, but he soon regained his calm and smiled. "It's wonderful to have Ronan back. Yet, upon his return, he broke into the prison and freed criminals from the Inferno Order and Naesbrey Fortress. Why did he do that?""Bennett, enough. Marshal Snow is backing Umbra. You might not be aware, having been in the eastern plains, but Marshal Snow is fearsome. He's a prodigy who can call upon the nation's fate and can stand against a supreme warrior." "If he discovers anything has happened to Umbra, he'll surely head to the eastern plains for revenge. At that point, Martialgarde will be destroyed, and you won't escape death, either.""Is that really true?" Bennett's heart raced with anxiety. However, Derrick, standing next to him, reassured him, "Why worry? Martialgarde has joined forces with our clan. On top of that, my daughter is with your son, which means we'll be family eventually. If Martialgarde faces any trouble, our clan will definitely step in. "Our
"Show yourself!" Derrick's voice echoed through the air and across the ground, lingering for quite a while. It left Apollo and the others with ringing ears. The difference in power between them and Derrick was substantial. A powerful energy erupted from the prison, cutting off Derrick's voice.Ronan emerged slowly and remarked icily, "I've heard of Talonclaw. You all came to the eastern plains, interfered with Martialgarde, and created chaos. That's truly overstepping!" "Who are you?" Derrick questioned, squinting. He could feel Ronan's strength, and he wasn't sure he could overpower him."Ronan.""Are you part of Martialgarde, too?" "My identity isn't important. What matters is that I urge Talonclaw to withdraw from Martialgarde and even the eastern plains." Derrick chuckled. He replied with a mocking tone, "And what if I refuse?" "I'm genuinely trying to help you. You've overtaken Naesbrey Fortress and captured Umbra. Do you realize the severity of the situation? If you d
"If you agree to become my partner, I'll free everyone from Naesbrey Fortress. I understand, Umbra, that you have high standards. But with Talonclaw's assistance, I'm close to uniting the eastern plains and becoming its supreme ruler. I believe I'm deserving of you," Bennett declared. Although his son was near Umbra's age, Bennett had always desired her beauty. Now that a golden opportunity presented itself, Bennett wasn’t about to let it pass by. "Umbra, you need to think this through."Umbra cried, "Bennett, stop with your fantasies. You disgust me. All you're after is my pure-essence physique core. You want to use my essence to reach the Supreme level! You're delusional! I'd rather drain my essence completely and die than let you achieve your goal."Humph! Someone will avenge me soon enough. You, Martialgarde, and Talonclaw will all be reduced to ashes!" Umbra's beautiful face twisted with fury. Her anger was so intense that she wished she could tear Bennett apart."How pres
"Oh?" The three other elderly individuals turned their attention to Logan, their faces marked by surprise. The elderly woman asked, "Why do you hold him in such high regard? Is there a specific reason?" Logan simply shook his head and replied, "Just wait and see." Gideon made his way through the lengthy corridor and reached the subterranean palace located beneath Colossus Dragon Mountain. The area was filled with strong energy fluctuations. As the mightiest dragon vein in Dasovia, and with this being the dragon head's location, its formidable nature was beyond imagination.Successive waves of energy surged forward, colliding with Gideon's body and compelling him to engage his Solar Titan Physique for protection. He moved with caution, progressing gradually. Lost in a trance, he heard the mighty roar of a dragon echoing around him.Before Gideon, it seemed as if an actual dragon was gliding majestically through the sky and earth. It was truly awe-inspiring and divine! "Press
Gideon felt uncertain. At that moment, Morgan hurried over. Maximus had been the one to alert him. Earlier, upon discovering that Gideon had entered the Concubines' Quarters and worried he wouldn't be able to intervene, Maximus had informed Morgan while en route.Upon Morgan's arrival, he inquired, "Marshal Snow, the Imperial Palace is incredibly expansive. With so many places to explore, why choose to visit the Concubines' Quarters and disrupt the women here?" Gideon replied, "If I don't visit the Concubines' Quarters, then I'll head to Colossus Dragon Mountain. Is that alright?""Colossus Dragon Mountain?" Morgan was momentarily surprised. Recalling Chase's words, he continued, "Certainly, it's possible. But if I may, Marshal Snow, what is your purpose for going to Colossus Dragon Mountain? It's Forbidden Grounds!""I plan to examine the dragon vein."Morgan and Maximus were taken aback. Gideon asked, "Is that prohibited?""Marshal Snow, you certainly have a talent for sa
Gideon was taken aback and hurriedly exclaimed, "Sir, you mustn't say things like that!"Logan rose from his seat and paced around Gideon. His aged eyes shone with a vivid sparkle, secretly appreciating him. "Impressive. You've acquired another type of heavenly flame, and your Solar Titan Physique has advanced to the second level. That's quite swift.""Sir, based on your assessment, at which stage of the Solar Titan Physique do you think I can achieve the ultimate rank?" "You'll need to reach at least the fourth or fifth stage." "Then, sir, do you have any idea where a heavenly flame might be found?"Logan let out a frosty laugh. "You're attempting to deceive me into providing information. That's not happening. But if you manage to master the Heaven-Earth Incarnation technique within a month, I'll acknowledge your exceptional talent and offer you a hint about a heavenly flame.""Seriously?" "I don't lie." "Sir, could you offer some guidance? I have a vague sense of it, but s
