All Chapters of Ascension of the Devourer: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The silver-haired woman said, "Facing multiple enemies at once is a good thing. It forces you to learn how to distribute your strength instead of wasting it. You must always keep some strength in reserve."That way, you can handle unexpected situations. Once you learn to manage your power properly, it will benefit you in prolonged battles. The more strength you conserve, the greater your advantage becomes over time.""Thank you for the guidance," Aeron said quickly.His strength had not increased, but his control had sharpened. That alone raised his combat effectiveness by a noticeable margin. If he faced the same situation again, he would respond with calm precision.The Beast Envoys were all Precelestial realmstriders. However, their specialty lay in controlling beasts. Their personal combat strength was weaker than that of most Precelestial realmstriders.The remaining low-tier beasts lunged forward. Aeron relied on his superior speed and engaged them in a wide, circling patter

A steady stream of power flowed through Aeron's body, nourishing every part of him with the lingering energy of the Demon Blood Pill.His physique surged again. When the final trace of power faded, a faint sheen covered his skin, and his aura grew noticeably deeper and more stable.Without warning, a low-tier black panther beast that had been lurking nearby lunged from behind.Aeron reacted instantly. He turned and drove his fist forward. The punch struck the bridge of the beast's nose, and a sharp crack echoed through the forest. The panther's skull shattered, and its several-hundred-pound body flew through the air before crashing heavily to the ground."A Level 9 Grand Circulation beast could not withstand even a single punch," Aeron said as he lowered his hand.Now he understood why so many realmstriders chose the physical path. With a powerful enough physique, one could walk the world without fear.He had not used a single strand of spirit energy. Pure physical strength alone

"Soryn. That is a lovely name," Luceran said with a smile. Then he asked gently, "Why are you not sitting with them?"Soryn glanced toward the group of nobles, then quickly lowered her eyes. Her gaze dimmed as she answered, "They do not like me sitting there.""That is all right," Luceran said kindly. "Not everyone is liked by others. You only need to be yourself. Since the universe allowed us to meet, we will sit here."He gestured toward Aeron. "This is my Young Lord, Aeron Stormvale. He is handsome, talented, and young for his achievements. He is older than you, so you may call him by his name."Aeron felt a flicker of helplessness. The old man sounded as if he were arranging a match."Lord Stormvale… hello," Soryn said hurriedly, bowing slightly. She was visibly nervous."There is no need to be so polite. Aeron will do," he replied quickly.At that moment, a furious shout echoed. "Soryn Cyranth!"Soryn jumped in fright.A young man in a blue brocade robe rose to his feet a

Aeron was not blasted away. Instead, his hand tore straight through the incoming innate spirit energy.Silvan's eyes widened. 'What kind of monster is this?'Before he could react, Aeron's hand clamped down on his face. His fingers tightened, and with a sharp crack, the bones in Silvan's forehead strained under the pressure. In another moment, they would shatter.Fear flooded Silvan's face. Only then did he realize how terrifying Aeron's strength truly was.At that moment, a thin, gaunt middle-aged man in black robes stepped out from the shadows. A terrifying aura spread from his body and filled the entire cabin."Young men are bound to be hot-blooded. It is fine to quarrel a little, but going too far is unwise," he said. "The heir of Prince Cyranth holds a noble status. How could he allow someone to grip his face like this?"Aeron bore the brunt of the pressure as the crushing force descended upon him. Relying on his powerful physique, he endured it.Soryn's face turned pale. S

"If I do not take her with us, she might die, right?" Aeron asked."Without anyone protecting her, even if she survives, she will suffer endlessly," Luceran replied.Children born to female servants ranked lowest among the royal descendants. Some held less status than the palace servants themselves.Aeron turned and walked toward the third cabin. Inside, several young nobles surrounded Soryn. They had not touched her, but she crouched in the corner, trembling.When Aeron entered, they stepped aside at once."Did they do anything to you?" he asked.Soryn shook her head immediately. "No…"Her eyes remained red, and faint tear marks lingered on her face. She had clearly wiped them away in secret. The others had mocked and scolded her, yet she did not dare tell Aeron. She feared causing him more trouble."What are your plans from here?" Aeron asked."My plans…" Soryn's gaze turned blank. She had never truly considered it. Then she recalled something. Her mother had once told her t
