At least half of the Injustice Battalion had distinct appearances, some with dark complexions, others marked by scars, and a few cultivators whose faces hardly resembled that of humans.The Dark Path was a cultivation method that involved practicing dark arts for rapid progress in cultivation. However, it also induced physical changes."What a strange sight!""The sight of all this spirit energy gathering here is truly mind-blowing. In my 60 years of cultivation, I've never seen anything like it!""If I seize this opportunity, I can at least reach the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage, or even break through further. Haha!"The Dark Path cultivators burst into greedy laughter.Surprisingly, among those Dark Path cultivators, almost 100 of them were at the Nascent Soul Stage or higher, while the rest stood at the pinnacle of the Golden Stage.This clarified why some willingly delved into the dark path. It was a path of cultivation so swift that even the righteous factions couldn'

Husan acted swiftly, unleashing her spirit energy without hesitation.The independent cultivators behind her, though their faces turned pale with fear, did not shrink back.The difference in spirit energy was stark, with Ironpeak Island at a clear disadvantage.In this critical moment, Remus interjected, "Wait!"All attention shifted to him. Turning to Husan, he stated firmly, "I've already said they're mere trash. You don't need to step in. I'll handle this."Husan asked in a perplexed tone, "Remus, what ... are you talking about?""Savior?""Savior, we're not afraid to die!""You ... you can't stop them alone!"Before them stood over 100 cultivators, each at the Nascent Soul Stage or higher. Although the number of peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivators was limited, the overwhelming force of their collective presence had been daunting.The prospect of Ironpeak Island mounting a full-scale resistance against such odds had seemed bleak, with only a slender chance of victory.

Husan's gaze widened in sheer disbelief, struggling to believe Remus could be a dark path cultivator."You're shameless!" the Red Demon, inflamed with anger and at a loss for words, felt manipulated.The cultivators of Ironpeak Island had also found themselves in disbelief. Dark path cultivators were known for their erratic natures, unpredictable moods, and unethical means.In stark contrast, Remus had demonstrated the ability to converse with the heavenly thunder, even subduing it. He had aided independent cultivators in transcending their thunder tribulations, saving their lives.Given these actions, the notion that Remus could be a dark path cultivator seemed utterly inconceivable.The Red Demon had sensed spirit energy from Remus only at the level of a beginner in the Training Stage, but now, Remus had soared to the peak of the Foundation Stage.Turning with fury, he commanded, "Everyone, unleash your full power! Today, I want to see what extent he can reach! Let him absorb a

The dark path cultivators initiated their assault without a trace of hesitation, just as they had done previously.Even if they could tear Remus apart 1000 times, it wouldn't make up for the massive amount of spiritual energy they had wasted.Remus, struggling to breathe, could no longer keep himself standing.A minute ticked by."How is this happening?" the early-stage Nascent Soul dark path cultivators began to collapse, their aggravation palpable.They observed Remus, evidently on the verge of defeating him, yet they couldn't comprehend why they had depleted their spirit energy before him.In the blink of an eye, nearly 50 early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators fell from the sky.Remus' cough grew more severe, almost incessant.The Red Demon grew more and more frantic, pondering how much longer this would last."We ... we've been tricked!""He's been baiting us!"It was then the turn of the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to fall, with about 30 succumbing to their fate.

Husan coldly stated, "He doesn't want to cultivate with you!"Remus was terrified by Husan's move and couldn't utter a word.Upon witnessing the scene, the independent cultivators of Ironpeak Island cast aside any lingering hesitation.The dark path cultivators, though appearing pitiable now, had shown no mercy in their vile actions in the past. There was no need for compassion in dealing with them.For a moment, cries of agony and screams resounded across Ironpeak Island.All the dark path cultivators were eradicated in under a minute, and peace was restored to Ironpeak Island.…In the aftermath, all eyes, including Husan's, turned toward Remus, brimming with curiosity and unspoken questions.Remus landed on the island and smiled. "I know you have many questions. Ask away, I shall withhold nothing.""Are you a dark path cultivator?" someone immediately asked.It was a matter of great significance, for dark path cultivators were universally condemned.Remus' response was me
