Gulp...Maxwell had already made up his mind. Why would he care about his life and death or the words of the emperor?He was completely disappointed with the emperor.With a light sound and gulp, Maxwell swallowed the pill.“Y-you... Madman! You’re a madman!” The emperor was immediately frightened and cursed furiously as he prepared to leave.Swoosh!However, the next second, Maxwell rushed forward and grabbed his throat.A powerful sense of suffocation hit the emperor. For the first time, he felt the threat of death.“Forebearer... N-no. Don’t kill me...” At that moment, the emperor was completely terrified, desperately trying to beg for mercy.However, this time, Maxwell did not give him the chance.“Die!” he said coldly, then twisted the emperor’s neck without hesitation.“Huh?”“Oh, no! The emperor is dead!”“H-he killed the emperor. Kill him!”“Quick, get him together—”...The warriors and guards below who saw this scene went berserk. They all shouted and screamed
The Petalonian experts were stunned but quickly came to their senses.“Kill them!”“Eliminate the traitors and restore peace!”“Those two caused chaos in Petalonia. They must die!”“Don’t let them escape...”At that moment, Maxwell’s words were like an imperial edict.The warriors and experts all turned around and surrounded Arthur and Brock.Andrius, Noir, Clarissa, and the Turtle Sage finally had a chance to catch their breaths.Boom!Bam!Swoosh!Intense explosions occurred one after another.Although one was at the eighth Divine Step and the other at the ninth Divine Step, their earlier battle had been very intense, causing them to deplete their energy greatly. When faced with countless experts attacking continuously, they were unable to withstand the assault.The encirclement grew smaller, and Arthur and Brock’s chances of escaping grew slimmer.“No, we can’t go on like this.”Arthur and Brock gathered to discuss a strategy.Brock knew that as well and quickly aske
“After him!”“Don’t let him escape!”“That person caused chaos in Petalonia and must die!”“Kill him...”The warriors chased after Arthur in anger.The area gradually calmed down.Andrius checked on Noir and the others and found that they were just exhausted. He took out medicine to help them recover.Then, he walked toward the group of people gathered around.Andrius vaguely saw that Maxwell seemed to have collapsed and was lying still.“W-Wolf...”Seeing Andrius approach, Maxwell wanted to say something, but he could only manage a single word.Andrius frowned and immediately went up to check on Maxwell’s condition. As soon as he placed his hand on Maxwell, Andrius’ expression changed drastically.“How could this be?”Two days ago, Maxwell had first suffered from his energy going chaotic due to cultivating the wrong technique. Then, he was attacked by an immortal artifact, injured his lungs, was poisoned, and suffered another sneak attack...In short, he was already on t
“That token... Comes from a sect called Ethereal Tower. They’re a sect of immortal cultivators.”A sect of immortal cultivators!Andrius’ eyes could not help but widen.No wonder he could not find any clues. It was related to the immortal cultivation world.“Ethereal Tower is very powerful, so don’t provoke them lightly. Take the owner of this token for example. He should be one of the Ten Guardians of Ethereal Tower who gave it to his subordinate. Displaying this token in a crucial moment represents his authority.”Andrius felt a storm brewing in his heart.Just a subordinate of one of the Guardians had the strength of the eighth Divine Step. That must mean the Guardian was someone who had exceeded human limits.Was he at the legendary immortal cultivation realm?Just that thought made Andrius gulp.However, what Maxwell said next shocked him even more. “Furthermore... above the Ten Guardians is the Elder Council and the Tower Master...”Andrius fell deep into thought.Even
A treasure from Florence?Andrius’ eyes lit up in anticipation.A treasure cherished by a master like Maxwell who was a ninth Divine Step expert must be extraordinary!Logan walked up to the door as he spoke.Boom!He punched the door, causing green rust to fall and reveal a faint lock.Boom!Boom, boom, boom!After a few more punches, the lock was fully revealed.Then, Logan placed Maxwell’s thumb on the lock.Clack...Clack, clack...The bronze door emitted a heavy sound, and the two doors slowly opened to each side. It was very dark inside.Logan and Andrius entered one after the other.With the faint light, Andrius saw that the entire secret chamber was empty except for one thing at the deepest part of the room. It was a high platform.On the platform lay a sword. It was a very old sword covered in rust and looked quite strange with an unusual shape.The sword confused Andrius because, in his memory, Florencian swords did not look like this. He shook his head and in
He moved silently, leaving no trace on the snow.Only the occasional drop of crimson blood showed he was not a hallucination.However, even the blood quickly vanished, covered by falling snow, erasing the traces again. It was as if he had never been there.That person was none other than Arthur!He rushed straight here after escaping Petalonia.Furthermore, when Maxwell was thrown out of the palace, he found the ambrosia. This journey had been a success—except for Brock’s death.Of course, Arthur already had an explanation for Brock’s death.Swoosh, swoosh...After a long journey, Arthur finally arrived at a cliff.No, it was not just a cliff. Calling it an ice cliff would be more accurate.Whoosh...Arthur reached the edge of the ice cliff and jumped down without hesitation.Rumble...Thud...After falling for several dozen seconds, Arthur landed in the thick snow, completely unharmed.A valley appeared in front of him. The entrance of the valley seemed ordinary and ind
“Guardian Stone.”Arthur walked forward with his head bowed, presenting the token with both handsOliver glanced at the token and then looked away, asking faintly, “Where’s Brock?”Arthur took a deep breath and said, “Brock... is dead.”Boom!As soon as Arthur finished speaking, a powerful wave of energy swept through the hall. It was like the sudden death of a thousand stars, a boat of leaves facing the high seas. It was like a tiny ant facing the vast world.The sense of insignificance, helplessness, and despair washed over Arthur in an instant, sending chills down his spine and fear into his heart.When a killer got angry, blood would be spilled.When a king got angry, the world would go into mourning.Now, when Guardian Stone got angry, Arthur felt as if the world was collapsing around him, leaving him with no other thoughts. The fear was palpable!That level of power was clearly far beyond the ninth Divine Step.Arthur subconsciously estimated that he was at least an im
“Hmph.” Oliver snorted coldly and let go, letting Arthur fall to the ground.“Who was it?” He asked in a cold voice, “No ordinary person would dare to kill my son!”“It was... the Wolf King of Florence, Andrius Moonshade!” Arthur immediately said, “Brock and I already collected the pendants, but we lacked the ambrosia and couldn’t unlock its secrets. However, only the forebearer of Petalonia is in possession of the ambrosia.“When we went to find the forebearer of Petalonia, Andrius intercepted and attacked us. In the end... Brock met his tragic end and told me to deliver the message before he died.”That was the explanation Arthur had come up with in advance.“The Wolf King of Florence?” Oliver glanced at Arthur and narrowed his eyes, saying coldly, “Arthur Ohger, aren’t you the Progenitor Emperor of Florence? You founded Florence. Why would he target you two and want me to help you kill him?“Do you have a grudge against Moonshade, and you’re using me to take your revenge?”Th
