“Where am I?”Julius just opened his eyes. He was surprised to find himself in a place similar to a chamber inside a cave. However, the place was well-maintained and very clean. There were flower plants everywhere, making the place fragrant. The room almost resembled a garden.What was astonishing about the place was the illumination inside. The illumination came from clear bottles containing dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of fireflies trapped inside. This made the place beautifully lit.After a while, footsteps were heard approaching from outside towards where Julius was. If it weren’t for his heightened senses, he wouldn’t have heard the arrival of the person, as they were walking barefoot, making their movements almost silent.“You’re awake, it seems. You’ve been unconscious for a week,” said the voice of a woman who had just arrived and happened to be behind Julius.“Hey!”Julius was startled when he turned around to find that the person speaking was a girl who wasn’t wearing any
“Hey, look at this!” exclaimed the mysterious girl now dressed in all white. Julius shifted his gaze towards the girl dressed in all white, who was now about six spear-lengths away from Julius. For a moment, her body emitted a greenish light. Shortly after, she transformed into a nine-tailed white fox.The incident certainly startled Julius. Now he began to believe what the girl said, that she was the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen. Shortly afterward, the girl transformed back into her human form. Then she walked towards Julius.“Do you believe me now?” asked the girl, the manifestation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen.“Hmmmm... Then why didn’t you kill me when I was defenseless earlier? Weren’t you very eager to finish me off before?” asked Julius. Julius asked this because he knew the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen had wanted to eliminate him for a year. He even had to resort to using the risky Dark God’s Body technique. However, that method failed because the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen fiercely resisted,
For a moment, there was no response. Julius waited, suspecting that the person he was wary of was following him, hoping they would reveal themselves. However, despite waiting for a long time, the person in question did not appear. Julius grew increasingly anxious and decided to quicken his pace, resuming his journey. Once again, he sensed someone following him.As Julius moved faster, he felt the person trailing him running even faster. The young man felt as though he was being toyed with by the individual following him. He halted his steps and turned back. Once again, he saw no one else in the vicinity, although he could clearly feel the emanation of their energy.“I know you’re here! Why are you such a coward, unwilling to reveal yourself? Aren’t you the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Foxes? Do you still feel indebted to me for saving you, hence following me all the way here?” Julius shouted.Still, there was no movement or sign of the person about to reveal themselves. This naturally inf
“Why do you keep following me all the way to this place? And why earlier did you play tricks on me, not wanting to show yourself?” Julius asked the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen, slightly annoyed.“Who said I was following you? You’re the one who bound me with the power within your body so that I can’t go anywhere except where you are. How could you accuse me of following you?” The Nine-Tailed Fox Queen replied lightly, enjoying the freshly served dish. Julius furrowed his brow, trying to understand the meaning behind the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen’s words. He could see no signs of lying on the girl’s face. However, he didn’t understand what the Queen meant by saying that he had bound her with the power within his body so that they couldn’t separate.“What do you mean?” Julius asked.“I don’t know myself; I thought you did it on purpose to me. After you left the Forest of a Thousand Deaths for quite some time, suddenly my body was attracted and entered into your storage ring. If you don’t use you
“Leon Elias Cros, it would be best for you and the entire city to surrender peacefully. Then we will allow you to leave the city safely. The condition is that you leave only with food and clothing, while your belongings must be left in this city!”A man dressed in all yellow shouted from the direction of the Demon Sect. It seemed he was the leader of the attack on the city of Citrine Canyon. Indeed, among the members of the Demon Sect, there were three people dressed in all yellow. However, only one person wore a golden headband, while the other two wore green headbands.Among the members of the Demon Sect, there were also about ten people dressed in all green. Meanwhile, those dressed in all black numbered around 120 people. It could be said to be a sizable force to attack a city. Moreover, the average cultivation level of that force was above the realm of heavenly spirit martial arts.On the side of the city of Citrine Canyon, there were also many martial practitioners in the semi-s
The man dressed in all green, receiving a stern reprimand from his superior, began to look anxious. He then retrieved something from under his clothes and swallowed it. A few moments later, reddish smoke emerged from his body. Slowly, the man in all black attire turned reddish in color.“Trouble! That person is definitely going to use the soul fusion technique with the Bloody Demon Prince again. Even though the man from Citrine Canyon City has strong sword intentions, he’s still no match for the incarnation of the Bloody Demon Prince.”Julius, who continued to observe the battle between the man in black-blue attire representing Citrine Canyon City and the man in all green attire representing the flame-star demon sect, looked worried. He knew what the man in green was doing, summoning the soul technique of the Bloody Demon Prince. Having faced that technique before, he could gauge the strength of the opponent from the flame-star demon sect.Indeed, Julius’s concerns came to pass. After
Witnessing the ferocity of the attack, the man dressed entirely in yellow with a golden headband instructed his men to take a step back. Slowly, they retreated towards their leader, who was beginning to edge forward. The man clad in yellow with the golden headband then swiftly launched an attack towards the fox spirit in the form of light.The man in yellow immediately employed advanced techniques in attacking the giant fox-like light entity. He was astonished when his attack hit its target only to vanish. He realized that the light was merely a shadowy form of its true essence, whose whereabouts were unknown. Naturally, the man in yellow with the golden headband grew furious.“I never expected a practitioner who claims to hail from Master Leon Elias Cros’s to collaborate with a spirit to defend his city. What’s the difference between that spirit and us, disciples of the demon sect, who also seek world domination?” mocked the man in yellow with the golden headband at Leon Elias Cros.
Nine men dressed entirely in green, their souls now merged with the Bloody Demon Prince, advanced to attack Julius. Julius himself was prepared and didn’t budge an inch. Now inhabiting the body of the Thunder God, he readied his Thunder God Sword, his trusted weapon.Aware of their crushing defeat in the first attack on Julius, due to their inferior strength, the nine men in green then launched a combined attack, merging it with a sealing technique. This combined technique produced a giant sword shadow emitting a reddish glow, spreading a pungent smell of blood. The attack prepared by the nine men in green had the power equivalent to that of a practitioner in the realm of demigods.Seeing the formidable combined attack prepared by their opponents, Julius changed his attack pattern. Now, he infused his sword intent with the Thunder God Sword technique to shatter the universe. Suddenly, the sky darkened over the battlefield. Lightning bolts of purplish hue descended from the sky.A gian
