When Charles spoke up, Felix had already secretly made a call to the phone Dahlia left behind. As for whether or not she could arrive in time, that depended on fate.It acted as a layer of security. Felix had the Speed Talisman given by Gerald. If he couldn't win, he could still escape. Even if he couldn't escape, at least he could buy some time."The Jacobs family? I've never heard of this family before."Looking at Felix, Charles snorted. "You're so young, yet you already have such great capability. You dare to do it, but you're afraid of admitting it? I have seriously overestimated you in the past! Do you dare to say that you didn't kill Mason, who's a genius in my family?"Everything was just to buy some time. Felix looked as though he had thought of something. "Mason? You're right. I killed him. I only killed him because he wanted to kill me. I can't possibly just tie my own hands and let him kill me, can I?"Felix didn't expect Charles to be so overbearing. "That's right!
Actually, Felix was trained in Dragons Destroyer. There were five pieces of the Dragonspine in his body as well. He could fight against someone at a higher cultivation level than him with no issue.But he didn't dare to act recklessly in the current situation because Elders' Council was involved as well. He couldn't be certain that there wasn't anyone else from Elders' Council present aside from Luca.Elders' Council had suffered losses because of Felix. Once they had gotten a hold of the news, they would definitely kill him."Felix, you're so young, yet you're already so strong. You're indeed gifted, but being cunning and having good strategies only come with age. Do you think that we don't know you're stalling for time by talking nonsense?"Luca exuded his strong presence as he raised his right hand. "I only cooperated with you because I need the Jacobses to witness me killing you. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago!"At this time, the people who rushed over from afar
"Rising Dragon!" When Felix made a move, Luca's and Charles' expressions changed. The two took action simultaneously. With a loud boom, Felix was nowhere to be seen. It turned out it was a decoy."Can he escape?" Luca and Charles disappeared. Meanwhile, the other members of the Jacobs family had only reached Pulse Realm, so they couldn't participate in this battle. They could only wait in the same spot."Levi! Isn't Felix a bit too exaggerating?" Someone asked, but Levi couldn't answer him because he was still stunned.Charles and Luca were superb martial arts masters in the middle stage of the Blood Realm. It was already terrifying that Felix could escape with one move.One yard away, Felix stopped because three other people appeared before him. Their faces were all covered.Although they seemed unremarkable at first glance, their demeanor caused Felix to have a serious expression for the first time.The two were in the middle stage of Blood Realm, while the other had reached th
"Fire Dragon!" Huge flames appeared above Felix out of nowhere. After a spin, the flames headed toward Oliver, who was in midair.The flames collided with the Cross Slayer mid-way. They diminished quickly. As both moves collided, Felix didn't dare to pause at all because the attacks of Luca, Charles, and the others had reached the point where he didn't have the chance to catch his breath."Dancing Dragon!" The Dancing Dragon was deployed again. It cut off the sudden attack. The movement was so smooth that it couldn't be compared to the previous one. When there was an empty spot, Oliver entered through the only ball of flame and hit Felix on the chest. Felix spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back."Help me put out the fire! He has already used all his strength. He is no longer a threat!"When Luca and the others were about to kill Felix when the latter was weak, they were summoned by Oliver.Felix stood in the same spot and didn't dare to move because his en
"Who's there?" The sudden scene halted Charles' movements."This sword…" Only Oliver was staring at the sword as his eyes widened. "It's the Duo Moon Sword. Could it be Sword Goddess?"Sword Goddess? Even Charles' expression changed. He took a sharp breath. Sword Goddess was considered a legend. There was a year when Sword Goddess traveled to various parts of Dragonia with her sword. Whenever she encountered injustice, she would take action, resolving it with just one move. To this day, no one had ever been worthy enough to see her second move."We should go!" When Oliver returned to his senses, he quickly reminded everyone to leave. He didn't dare to stay there any longer."Can we really escape?" Luca's legs couldn't move. He was frightened. A martial arts master in the early stage of Blood Realm was frightened to this extent. No one would have believed it if news spread."Calm down! If Sword Goddess wanted to kill us, we would have been dead long ago. She's letting us leave."
Because the gap between the members of the Jacobs family's strength and Felix's was huge, it was impossible for them to escape. They were all beaten up by him, without leaving behind a single corpse. Only by killing these members of the Jacobs family could there no longer be any continuation.When Felix entered the house, he lay on the bed. He didn't think that he was exposed by Vanessa or her family. With the Jacobs family's and Elders' Council's capability of finding information, learning about it was easy. Besides, everyone's gazes and expressions were normal during the wedding. He couldn't be bothered to look into it more.At this time, Felix received a call from Xena. "Xena.""Don't call me like that. I hope you always remember that! Giving you a call means nothing. You just need to listen. After I finish speaking, I'll block you again."Felix's mood wasn't affected much. After experiencing such a difficult battle, he felt neutral. He only needed to try his best to make up f
When Queenie accidentally touched the Hexbloom, Felix had to treat her immediately, leaving her in nothing but underwear due to the unusual circumstances. In that vulnerable state, he could not help but notice every detail of her body, including places he should not have seen. On Queenie's back, near her right shoulder, there was an intriguing tattoo that initially appeared to be a cobra's head but also resembled a skull upon closer inspection. The design was particularly striking with its red-inked edges, and Felix could not help but recall seeing it somewhere before."You've really seen it before?" Felix found himself in an unexpected situation and could only trust Billy's judgment."Yes, I have. What's the connection?" Billy pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's an ancient totem from Southern Xilona that somehow made its way into mainstream tattoo shops, and many customers choose it for themselves."Felix furrowed his brows. "Wouldn't that mean many people would experi
"Don't even mention it. Usually, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be an issue, but I barely slept last night," Jack groaned.Felix found it amusing since people typically slept better when drunk, which was unusual. "Having those kinds of dreams?" he teased, feeling relaxed around Jack, especially since Melissa was helping Vanessa in the kitchen.Jack shot Felix a look before turning serious. "It's strange. Last night felt like a dream but also seemed real. You probably won't believe this, but I kept hearing cries. "Sometimes, it sounded like children, other times like women, leaving me in this dreamlike state all night. Meanwhile, Nessa didn't stir once all night. When I asked her this morning, she said she hadn't heard anything."Felix's expression changed instantly, realizing Billy's warning was already coming true. Given Jack's close connection to him, the karmic tie was probably strongest, making him the first to experience the effects. While it was not surprising, its speed
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
"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t
With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual
The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i
