Billy's reaction dumbfounded Felix. Did Billy really know what it was? That was a little concerning."Do you really know what it is, Billy?" Felix asked.Billy rolled his eyes. "Ah, what nonsense! How could I not recognize such treasure? Especially that pure white color—it's incredibly rare!" Felix was completely invested now. Although he had worked with Donna, it would have been more beneficial for him to have known what the orb was."Can you tell me more?"Billy composed himself and pouted. "I'm in a bad mood right now. The Phaeron Codex rejected me. Fuck, can you believe it? I'm so great—yet a mere soul mastery technique looked down on me. Unbelievable!"No wonder he looked upset! He wasn't able to cultivate the Phaeron Codex. However, Felix was quite shocked when he heard it.After all, in his eyes, Billy was mysterious and powerful! Yet, he couldn't practice the Phaeron Codex? Would Felix have met the same fate if he didn't have the Destiny Crystal?"Bily, it's important—

"You might still be wondering why the S-tier Malevolent Phantoms don't kill martial artists who practice soul mastery—it's because they're too weak. Their soul essence isn't just small in quality but poor in quality," Billy explained."Even if they were all killed, it would be impossible to overflow the Mystical Explosive Orb. Compared to that, harvesting soul essence from the Malevolent Phantoms—who are born from pure soul essence—would be much faster."So that was it! Felix suddenly recalled Donna mentioning the limited time they had here. Perhaps the Malevolent Phantoms were just desperately clinging to survival by racing the time they had."Then what's the use of this?" he asked.Billy's expression turned solemn. "After the Mystical Explosive Orb overflows with soul essence, it can be used to reshape the soul while retaining the current essence of your soul. For example, you're currently mastering the Transcendent Realm. "But you feel that your body isn't physically fit and y

"Why didn't you answer my call?" Xena's gaze was cold, and she felt indescribable disgust for the man in front of her.However, Fred was the nephew of her fifth aunt, Eleanor Morrison, so Xena felt obliged to care for him. Since her uncle and cousin had died, she wanted to help Fred out of respect and to fulfill Eleanor's request.From the start, Xena had asked Fred to pack up and leave Notura City but he claimed to have forgotten since he was "busy". In the end, he hadn't listened to her at all."I'm so sorry, Xena. I'm at a complete loss these days and forgot to pick up." Fred seemed to act timid, but in reality, he was thinking of ways to get Xena in bed with him.After all, she was stunning, and the trace of family relations excited him. However, in the end, he held back his impulses, as they would have ruined everything."You don't have to leave Notura City—but answer the phone next time." With that, Xena left. She was only passing through the city, but because he didn't pick

"Sorry to say, but this man was the A-tier Malevolent Phantom wreaking havoc in Notura City," Felix explained. Of course, Xena believed his words because Fred was now standing on legs that had somehow grown back. "Just do it," Xena muttered.Xena looked away helplessly. She knew this could only mean that Fred had already died long ago. With one swift motion of Felix's hand, Fred, who was lashing out wildly, crumpled to the ground and turned still as stone. A wave of emotions washed over Xena as she stared at Fred's body. Eleanor had just lost her last living relative. "I'll have someone take care of this." Felix nodded. "I should go then." Xena hesitated, then asked, "But tell me something—what made you keep digging until you found the truth?" Felix could not possibly tell her about the S-tier Malevolent Phantom, so he made up something and said, "I just followed the trail. I got lucky, honestly." Xena left it at that. After all, the A-tier Malevolent Phantom terrorizi

"Listen here, Felix. Don't be so sure about everything," Deborah said with a playful scoff. "Do you really think you could stop your mom and me if we wanted to go?" Felix couldn't help but laugh. If Gerald and Cordelia pulled rank on him like that, he really had no way to refuse. "Madam Goddard's right, but don't worry, Felix. Even if we go, we won't let ourselves become a distraction when you're fighting those Malevolent Phantoms." The private room door swung open, and Felix jumped to his feet, his jaw nearly hitting the floor. Walking in were Averill and Naomi, his fellow apprentices. "Aunt Cordelia, Madam Goddard, Nerissa," Averill sweetly greeted everyone, bringing smiles to Deborah and Cordelia's faces. "You sneaky man. Keeping such lovely and talented fellow apprentices all to yourself." Hearing Deborah's tease, Felix was at a loss for words. When Averill mentioned wanting to meet Nerissa before, he thought she was joking. It turned out she was dead serious. "You li

Cordelia said, "Here! These are pills Madam Goddard has been developing. They'll boost fertility rates for martial artists like you. "If Felix still won't come around, find the right moment to corner him. Let's see him deny his feelings once there's a baby in the picture." Naomi stood there slack-jawed while Averill excitedly hugged Cordelia. Good lord, with a mother-in-law like this, how could their future be anything but bright? The next day, Felix visited Laura's place. With a wave of his hand, she felt their tight bond vanish. "Mr. Zeller! What did I do wrong?" Laura was on the verge of tears. Their master-servant bond had been severed. "Nothing. I'm giving you your freedom. Isn't that good?" Felix found it strange. He had also released Selmer and Louise from their bonds. Louise had sent a quick thanks over WhatsApp, but Selmer and Laura were carrying on like the world was ending despite being grown-ups. "Please, no. Mr. Zeller, I'm begging you to keep me. Without y

Felix tensed up. The voice wasn't Eunice's—it was a man's. He immediately knew it was Ashton, someone he had met briefly before. There was no doubt about it. "There's no point in reasoning with someone like you, is there?" Felix retorted.Since Ashton had laid it out so plainly, Felix saw no reason to hold back. He wasn't the cautious person he used to be. Now, he had the strength to face challenges head-on. "Good, at least you're man enough not to beat around the bush. Horace was my last relative in this world. You killed him, so you'll pay a terrible price for that." As one of the Eight Guardians under the Ancient Sage, Ashton was both powerful and well-connected. He was not interested in hearing explanations or excuses. "Fine by me. I'll be waiting." Felix hung up with a cold smile, feeling a surge of excitement. Sarah had stopped them that time, but it seemed inevitable that they would have to show down with Ashton, a Grandmaster. Though Felix had not reached his peak

"Shut up! You eat the pizza, you pay for it—unless you want to come with us. It's a small business; are you really that cheap?" Keith Blackburn, captain of the local Law Enforcement Team, spoke without bothering to investigate. Gert opened his mouth to argue but backed down. Getting taken in was no joke. "Fine. I'll pay." Though Anton did not say anything more, his smug expression said enough to make anyone's blood boil. "Hold it!" A voice rang out. Keith and Anton frowned; who'd dare speak up now? They must have a death wish. But when they saw who it was, everyone froze, then quickly bowed. "Greetings, Grandmaster Zeller!" But Keith's team used a different title. "Lord Zeller." Felix's face was stone-cold as he looked at Gert. "Where's the pizza you just ate?" Gert went pale, trembling. "I'm sorry, Grandmaster Zeller. It's… it's all my fault. It really was." He was terrified, as he had not expected Felix to be right there. Everyone knew Felix grew up in the capital,

It would be a lie to say that Lachlan wasn't surprised when he saw Felix. As an Orion, of course, he was aware of the entire situation.Felix was sent to Aquamarinus, a planet that was known for its deadliness.Even a genius would most likely die there. However, Felix succeeded in breaking through. Although his strength had been confirmed indirectly, Lachlan didn't take it seriously. He even told his family that there was no need to cheat.As long as he was there, Felix wouldn't be able to pass his level. Felix sneered, but didn't respond. They just met, and they were already mortal enemies. If they had a chance, they would've killed one another. So why should they even attempt to be civil?"Julius, nothing has happened yet, and you're already kissing his ass?" Lachlan laughed mockingly. Felix stayed silent, so Lachlan couldn't be bothered to mock him. Instead, Lachlan turned to Julius, who smiled."I don't need to report everything I do to you, Lachlan. Just worry about yours

This was something Felix hadn't thought of. The Orions had been too arrogant and thought their people could kill him, but they didn't anticipate the special conditions on Aquamarinus at night. If it wasn't due to that, Felix wasn't sure if he would still be alive now."Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked.Julius looked at him oddly. "My family, the Leachs, are on par with the Orions and developing fast. We don't want any conflicts with you or Earth, so tell me, why wouldn't I make friends with a strong man like you?"Since you can break out of Aquamarinus, you have the qualifications to win. At least for now, the champions of the elimination rounds in the Rank-Ascending Competition are extraordinary people."He continued, "I'm just offering help now. Once you succeed in the future, you can help me, right? I have nothing to lose, so why not try?"Felix understood his reasons. In this case, he was completely alone, and making acquaintances with the Leachs was good."How hard

As soon as Julius entered, Felix turned on the soundproof barrier and asked impatiently, "How do you know I'm from Earth?"Everyone here was a stranger, and the distance between each of their hometowns was over hundreds of thousands of miles. How could Julius tell where Felix was from so accurately?Julius looked a little helpless. "Your name is Felix, and your elimination match was on Aquamarinus. Of course, I know you're from Earth."Well, that was quite the redundant answer."No, listen to what I have to say."After motioning for Felix to sit down, Julius continued, "In the Rank-Ascending Competition, some people in power can actually cheat within the rules. Have you heard of the Orion family?"Before Felix could answer, Julius had already guessed the answer based on his gaze. "Heh, seems like Earth isn't as barbaric as everyone thought. Since you're familiar with the Orion family, it will make things easier for me."Well, you got the right information. The Orion family is th

The guide said, "This is where the selected contestants rest. The yard is huge and has everything you need. As long as you don't leave this yard, you're free to move around. I'll bring you to your room now."The yard looked huge, with fixtures of bridges and flowing rivers. Felix even passed by a fake mountain. It was large enough for hundreds of people to climb, standing thousands of feet tall and looked quite majestically.No one on Earth or Aquamarinus could have built such a luxurious residence. Felix could even see a bar and massage parlor, showing how indispensable technology was in the universe. His room was luxurious, around 2000 square feet, and was decorated with traditional but modern touches. "This is your room. I'll take my leave now, goodbye." The young man left with a bow. Felix turned around and stood on the patio. Outside his room was a large lake, with even fish swimming inside."A new neighbor? Did you just arrive today?" The sudden voice came from the patio

Felix arrived at the location of one of Nine Flames, where the guards instantly collapsed, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.By now, darkness had arrived. He walked forward without any hesitation, his right hand touching the flame.There was no need for any special tools. The flame simply vanished, and only Felix knew that it was absorbed in an instant by his Starmark.With the disappearance of the flames, people in many places immediately dropped to their knees.The light that should have lasted throughout the night vanished, and the darkness of Desolated Lands descended almost instantly. Every light went out in an instant.Screams echoed everywhere, and panic spread like wildfire. Even though their loved ones were close by, they couldn't see them with their eyes and could only communicate through voice.Scenes like this were unfolding in many places, even in Cloud City."It's really started," Eira said. She was in Cloud City. Although Luigi was standing on her left, h

Despite Thiago's murderous glare and overwhelming killing intent, Felix wasn't scared. In fact, it made him smile.Due to the unique trait of the Dragon Rebirth, his opponent had to harbor a true desire to kill him in order for Felix to grow stronger. Otherwise, it would all be meaningless. At least so far, everything was unfolding just as he expected.Meanwhile, Holt was silently praying like crazy as he lay on the ground. The battle had already begun, and his companion had understood his message. This was their only shot, however slim, at killing Felix.As time passed and the afternoon crept past 3:00 pm, his companion started to falter. His attacks were growing sluggish. He hadn't been injured, but he was clearly on the defensive now.Seeing this, Felix completely lost interest. Once his opponent lost the will to kill him, the Dragon Rebirth would no longer grow.Still, the battle wasn't for nothing. He'd made solid progress and was a little closer to becoming a Celestial Realm

Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An
