"Tristan, get the hell out here!" A furious shout crashed into the Nethercult's headquarters like rolling thunder, putting the entire faction on high alert.Tristan was shaken. Could Gideon have returned? He rushed out, saw the shattered mountain gate, and his fury exploded. "Who did this?""I did!" The purple-robed elder in front glared with blazing eyes.Tristan focused and was surprised. "Herebert? You old bastard, what are you doing here? You blew up my mountain gate?""No shit! Who else could it be?""What the hell do you want?" Tristan was fuming, but he had to hold it in.The purple-robed elder before him was Herebert Reeve, the grand elder of Talon Claw. And like Tristan, he was a Half-Supreme.Of course, that alone wouldn't have made Tristan swallow his anger.What really made him wary was that Talonclaw had a real monster, an ancient Supreme whose seniority and strength were terrifying.That old man had already reached the Supreme level many years ago. Who knew how
Despite what he said, Tristan was on edge. With no way to reach Attwell, he had no choice but to contact an old friend from the Wasteland for help.…Elsewhere on the aircraft headed to Verdura, Gideon had returned to his room after finishing his discussion about martial arts with Noel and Ronan.He took out the Imperial Token.He had made a discovery. Inside the Imperial Token, faint traces of a cultivation technique were hidden.Back at Black Snake Mountain, the technique had started to emerge inside the Imperial Token, and Gideon had caught the signs."What kind of technique is this?" He was curious.Clearly, this was Chase's doing. Chase wanted to pass something on to him but left it to Gideon to uncover it on his own."Screw it." Gideon made up his mind.He pulled out the seal.Moments later, the aircraft shook violently, like it had been struck by something, almost causing a crash."What's going on?" Ronan asked.Noel traced the source and explained, "Gideon is cultiva
"What?" Attwell exclaimed, his body trembling. His face was a whirlwind of emotions as he asked, "Do you know the location of Triarchs' Immortal Instruments?"Chase grinned and answered, "If I did, why would I ask you to join me, Attwell?"Attwell's breath grew labored.Triarchs' Immortal Instruments, known as the Skyarch Tower, the Eartharch Book, and the Manarch's Sword, held incredible power. This immense power could only be fully realized when the Art of the Triarchs was employed alongside these sacred instruments.For example, the Manarch's Sword technique allowed the weapon to unleash 120% of its power when wielded. Chase, using records from ancient texts, recreated the Heaven-Asking Sword, which was enhanced with physical strength and Mystic Supreme Energy, making it a formidable weapon. Nevertheless, it still fell short compared to the original Manarch's Sword.If they managed to acquire Triarchs' Immortal Instruments, then… Attwell could barely fathom it. Chase could gen
"If you were the king and had the ability to wield it whenever you wanted, the Doombringer Knuckle would reach a whole new level," Ronan said. Gideon was taken aback. "Mr. Foley, please don't say such ridiculous things!" Ronan chuckled and replied, "I'm just teasing. Don't give it too much thought. What do you have planned next?" "I've been on the move a lot lately, and honestly, I'm feeling quite exhausted. I plan to stay in Goldspire for a while to focus on building my strength and reinforcing my foundation.""A skyscraper towers over the landscape. The foundation is certainly crucial," Ronan agreed with a nod. "And what about you two?" Gideon glanced at Noel.Noel replied, "I still need to journey around, seeking opportunities to hone my swordsmanship. I can't solely depend on Attwell." Ronan mentioned, "I'm planning to head to the eastern plains."Gideon appeared to have an idea and inquired, "Mr. Foley, how are you related to Martialgarde, the biggest faction in the
It was clear from Morgan's tone that he was aware of something. Gideon urged, "Mr. Glass, please be direct. This matters a lot to me."Morgan cautioned him, "Marshal Snow, that place is incredibly perilous. There are tales of bizarre and sinister happenings. Those who enter are likely to face a crushing death. "Even if they survive, they may end up insane. Even the most elite warriors can meet with disaster there. You should be cautious and not act on impulse.""Is it really that frightening? Even top-tier warriors need to be wary?" "I'm not exaggerating." "Thank you for the warning, Mr. Glass. I understand." After the call ended, Gideon decided to wait and not act hastily.Once Gideon had successfully learned the secret technique of Heaven-Earth Incarnation, his journey to Mount Immortal would offer him an additional layer of security. So, Gideon retreated into seclusion once more. One evening, an aircraft touched down on Beaker Island. "Sir," came the call, prompting Gide
"Understood!" Dominic said."I expect to see the results within three months," Gideon stated. Dominic confidently tapped his chest and replied, "Sir, it won't take that long. Just one month is needed to finish the screening and start channeling resources into training." Gideon added, "Also, let's establish our headquarters in Asgard Plains. We can enlist the Spirale Clan's assistance to construct an impenetrable base." "Absolutely!" "Proceed, and if you run into any issues, reach out to me directly." After Dominic left, Gideon remained excited, envisioning the glorious formation of his own faction. When that day arrived, it would be a grand event. Let celebrations fill the land!Gideon climbed into the nether aircraft, a machine he knew well from previous experiences. He soared through the sky, making his way to Imperial Palace.Uncertain about how to master the Heaven-Earth Incarnation technique, Gideon decided to go straight to Chase for guidance. In the early morning h
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
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 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
