Holy Emperor Agate had just acknowledged that Fred was no ordinary guy and figured out that he was not an Ancient Warlord.The Holy Emperor had not shed an ounce of his trademark pride; otherwise, he would have stepped out from behind that screen by now.With the pride that only a Holy Emperor could flaunt, Agate unleashed his aura with a slight intention of testing thingsHe was itching to see how Fred would hold up under the weight of his powerful presence.As Agate's aura amped up, his face started to twist in frustration.Like a rival who was every bit his equal, Fred kept pace with Agate's escalating aura as if he had no limits.Even when Agate went all out, Fred's aura did not waver one bit!Now, the two were neck and neck, but here was the thing—in the Ancient Martial Realm, it had been ages since anyone but a Holy Emperor could conceivably stand toe-to-toe with another Holy Emperor. That idea was deep-rooted in everyone's mind!So, what Fred was showcasing to Holy Emper

Meanwhile, just outside the grand hall of the Holy Emperor, Sheckie snapped out of his daze. His eyes widened in shock at the towering inferno erupting from the hall. Without a second thought, he bolted, retreating as fast as his legs could carry him.The other Ancient Warlords, who had been cautiously retreating while stealing glances at the chaos, followed Sheckie's lead, sprinting away with all the speed they could muster!The Ancient Warlords under Holy Emperor Agate's command knew the Crimson Flame Spear all too well—it was Agate's ultimate move!They were all aware that once Agate unleashed it, the end of the battle was near.The might of the Crimson Flame Spear meant that a ten-mile radius would be swallowed by wild flames, turning anyone or anything caught within it to mere ash."Looks like the two Holy Emperors have finally clashed!" Sheckie said, backing away. Yet, the sight of the Crimson Flame Spear sparked a glimmer of excitement in him.In a duel of masters, the out

Fred could not help but touch his face in exasperation at the looks on Sheckie and the other's faces.During the showdown in the Holy Emperor's grand hall a few moments ago…"Time to end this!"Clutching the Crimson Flame Spear, Holy Emperor Agate did not even bother to take Fred seriously, despite his impressive show of strength. With a haughty flick of the wrist, Agate sent the spear hurtling toward him."Oh, so it's on?" Fred thought, bracing for this so-called finishing move.Fred felt a new kind of heat emanating from the Crimson Flame Spear, a heat that was fiercer than anything before. His eyebrows twitched as he curled his open hand into a tight fist. The golden glow that had been shining from him suddenly focused into that fist as he fearlessly charged forward."Clueless fool!" Holy Emperor Agate scoffed with contempt as Fred did not even try to dodge but instead raced straight toward the fiery spear that had been hurled.Everyone knew that not even the mighty Holy Empe

‘Take responsibility? If I try to run, you’ll get me killed with you?’ The words flashed in Fred’s mind.Needless to say, Fred was distraught—very much so.This was simply a forced marriage!If this were anyone else, Fred would ignore her instantly. Alas, he was dealing with Holy Emperor Agate!She was one of the top five strongest Ancient Warlords in the Ancient Martial Realm.Fred would not be afraid if Holy Emperor Agate confronted him with swords and guns. However, if Holy Emperor Agate went berserk, even Fred could not be sure that he could survive it.After all, it was nearly impossible for Fred to control an opponent who was almost as strong as himself. If she went crazy and was determined to die with him, or pulled some outrageous stunts, Fred would not be able to overcome her.Fred quickly put on a kind tone and said, "Does it have to be like this? I…I’m just a passerby running errands...""Don't you dare try playing games with me! Follow me back right now and handle t

Whoosh!Fred, who was already halfway out of the Holy Emperor's Palace, instantly stopped in his tracks at Holy Emperor Agate’s words. He frowned and slowly turned around. He said, "Follow me to the secular world? What do you mean?"“What…What do you think I mean?!"In fact, Holy Emperor Agate regretted it a little the moment those words left her.After all, she had hoped that Fred could switch camp to the Ancient Warlords and become the 6th Holy Emperor in the Ancient Martial Realm.In the end, for some reason, she accidentally blurted that she would follow Fred to the secular world.Holy Emperor Agate immediately hesitated upon hearing Fred’s question, but soon gritted her teeth and said, "What I meant is, since you are unwilling to change sides, then what if...what if I change my stance?"Holy Emperor Agate… wanted to change her position?Although Fred had already somewhat guessed what Holy Emperor Agate meant earlier, to hear her say it out loud greatly surprised him.Chan
