“You may enter directly!” the guard said.
Julius looked puzzled. Unlike others who had to pass through two trial stones first, he was now directly invited to enter. After a moment of silence, Julius moved away from the guard towards the entrance.
“Wait! Although he has a special recommendation letter from someone, he still needs to undergo the examination of the rough body level and the purity of the soul he possesses.”
A loud shout was heard, causing Julius to reconsider stepping into the academy. A man dressed entirely in white, with white hair, emerged from inside. The face of the old man, around 60 years old, looked menacing and full of authority. Seeing the person approaching the entrance gate of the Tower of the Gods Academy, everyone immediately stood, facing the old man.
“Respect to the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods, may the headmaster live long!” the Tower of the Gods students shouted simultaneously.
“Rise, all of you, and continue your task of selecting potential in-laws for this Academy. And you, young man, you must try the rough body level and the purity of the soul using the measuring stones. Regardless of the result, you will still be accepted into this academy because you have the golden seal recommendation in your letter. Whatever your connection is with the late Legend Hero Tiberius Mateusz who lived hundreds of years ago,” said the man in white, who turned out to be the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy, to his students and Tiberius Julius.
Julius didn’t mind the words of the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy. He immediately went to the measuring stones for the rough body strength and the purity of the soul. Without any hesitation, the young man headed straight for the first stone, which measured the rough body of a cultivator.
“Place both palms on the stone,” said the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy.
Julius followed what the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy said. He placed both palms on the rough body measuring stone. He touched the stone for quite a while, but there was no reaction from the stone. Then he withdrew his palms from the stone.
“Hmmm... unfortunately, it seems you don’t have the talent possessed by the Hero I mentioned earlier. Aren’t you surnamed Tiberius?” asked the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy to Tiberius Julius.
Julius nodded in response to the question from the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy. The young man then approached the other measuring stone. This time, Julius would determine the extent of the pure soul he possessed. Julius immediately placed both hands on the green jade measuring stone.
Unlike the previous incident that left the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy somewhat disappointed, this time Julius made the old man widen his eyes. He seemed unbelieving, witnessing the change in the soul purity measuring stone of the cultivator. The changes shown by the measuring stone were at the peak and seemed to be continually increasing. Even though the stone had a limit of measurement at the ninth level, it appeared as if the stone was vibrating because it couldn’t measure the level possessed by Julius.
“What’s happening? This child is truly mysterious and extraordinary. Rarely does a cultivator have a soul at the ninth level. Even the legendary hero, who is likely his ancestor, is still at the eighth level,” muttered the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy, unable to hide his admiration. “Enough!” shouted the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy.
Julius immediately withdrew his hands from the soul purity measuring stone upon the order of the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy. Then, after obtaining permission from the Vice Chairman, he entered the Tower of the Gods Academy area. Julius was truly amazed by the scenery in the place. Inside the entrance gate, there was a hill that was quite high, and right above the hill’s peak was a golden-colored tower.
Indeed, from outside the entrance gate, people could not see what was inside. The entire area, except for the entrance gate, seemed to be made of thick mist that prevented the eyes from seeing what lay beyond. The dense mist was a protective seal enveloping the Tower of the Gods Academy. Thus, only those who entered through the gate could see what was inside the academy.The golden tower itself served as a training tower for students whose self-defense spirits were already at the Semi-Fairy level. The tower was used by cultivators to practice penetrating the realm of the Semi-God. For now, only the Chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy had successfully penetrated that realm. So, the tower was now inhabited only by the chairman of the Tower of the Gods Academy.
“Hmmm... I wonder which deity established cultivation levels like this. It seems that in this place, there is only one person who has reached the Semi-God realm. Perhaps in my previous world, the Semi-God realm is not different from the realm of the Earth God,” Julius muttered as he continued walking towards the dormitory, as directed by the gatekeeper earlier.
After walking quite far, Julius finally reached his destination. It turned out that the dormitory, which would be his daily residence, was also in the form of a tower. There were several people there, both new and old students. On the nameplate located right at the entrance gate to the tower area, it was written “Dragon Earth Tower,” which was the name of the dormitory and the group that Julius would belong to.
The Dragon Earth Tower itself was surrounded by a fairly high wall. So, if someone wanted to enter, they had to pass through the gate, willingly or not. At the gate, several senior students were already waiting, observing Julius’s movements with sharp gazes.
“Hey, new kid, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go inside! Soon, all students, both old and new, will be gathered in the main field in front of the Tower of the Gods. Don’t be late and embarrass the Dragon Earth group,” one senior student said firmly to Julius.
“Alright!” Julius hurriedly entered.
“Hey, you have no respect at all for your seniors. Just entering without showing respect,” another senior student scolded Julius for entering without paying respect to them.
Aware of his mistake in entering without greeting, Tiberius Li Julius turned around and bowed in respect to the senior student who had just reprimanded him. However, it seemed that the senior student intended to pick a fight with Tiberius Li Julius. After the young man turned around and bowed, he received a kick from his senior in the same tower group, causing him to fall to the ground. The incident made everyone present burst into laughter, except for another young man with slightly darker skin.This young man was in the same group as Julius and belonged to the same batch. He was the young master from the Blackthorn Family, hailing from the city of Azure Peak in the east. His name was Galen Blackthorn, a young man around 17 years old. He disliked seeing others oppressed in front of him. Galen Blackthorn, with his sturdy and tall figure and dark skin, immediately approached Julius and helped him up.As Julius got up, he raised his head and stared sharply at the seniors who were at the
Magnus Raven, the head of the God Tower Academy, scanned the entire assembly of students. Whatever he was looking for, he continued, “Therefore, train to overcome every test I give you. There are five exams you must pass if you want to successfully obtain a cultivation ticket in this God Tower. This time, I am giving the opportunity to only three students to enter the God Tower.”Magnus Raven concluded his announcement by motivating the students to train harder. He mentioned that he wouldn’t reappear for the next three months. Shortly afterward, he returned to the God Tower. The students then returned to their respective places.The next day, all new students were gathered in the main building of the God Tower Academy, not far from the tower where the academy head lived. About fifty new students were accepted into the God Tower Academy this time, all selected individuals who had passed the given tests. Except for a few, including Julius, who received a special recommendation, making i
“Master!”Lin Duano’s words abruptly stopped as a student raised his hand, seemingly wanting to ask a question.“What is it? Next time, don’t interrupt someone’s conversation, especially if it’s Brother Rylan who’s teaching. If you do this kind of thing, you’re finished!” Master Lin Duano warned.Although Duano wasn’t pleased with the student who interrupted him, he didn’t show any sign of anger or annoyance towards the student. He just reminded them not to make a habit of interrupting people, especially when it’s Master Rylan Dragon who’s teaching. It was certain that the student would face a reprimand and might even be expelled from the Dragon Earth Tower.“Sorry, Master! I just wanted to ask,” the student who interrupted earlier apologized.“What do you want to ask?” Master Duano furrowed his brow.“If someone loses their martial spirit, will they die?”“Hmmm... a good question. In essence, a martial spirit is different from the spirit inside your body. If you lose your martial spi
Master Lin Duano then left Julius alone in his place. He allowed the disciple to study all the contents of the book he handed over. It could be said that the book was a sacred scripture belonging to the God Tower Academy. Not just anyone could study it, even a Master, let alone an ordinary student. Tiberius Li Julius himself was very happy to get the book because he could understand how cultivation works and the meaning of martial spirit according to the book’s creator, who was said to be a god.Julius began studying the book given by Lin Duano. Firstly, Julius opened the pages that discussed the elements and intricacies of Martial Spirits. It turned out that the Martial Spirit mentioned in the book was a power that formed a new soul within oneself. That soul became the support for cultivation energy.Julius started with the formation of Martial Spirit within his body. Everything started from the beginning; the Martial Spirit formed was at the First Basic Earth Level. One day passed,
One by one, the disciples began to wield their crafted swords. Various powers emerged in the place and overlapped each other. Judging from the energy emanating from the swords’ blades, the new disciples of the Tower of the God Academy in the Dragon Earth Tower group, the one who possessed the strongest martial spirit realm, also emitted formidable power.What the disciples displayed earned praise from Master Lin, considering it a good achievement. However, in Julius’s view at that moment, what the disciples showed was still very low. He attempted to perform sealing techniques based on what he had learned from the book created by the universe’s god. Unfortunately, his estimation was off; the radiance of the sword produced was not as powerful as he had anticipated.It could be said that the sword emitting power and light belonging to Julius was the weakest among all the disciples practicing the sealing technique. Julius himself realized what was happening. He was puzzled as to why such
Julius’s words were suddenly interrupted by the appearance of a young man who immediately commented on Galen Blackthorn’s attitude towards Julius. The young man opined that Julius was a weak youth with no hope of advancement. He greatly disliked Galen Blackthorn’s friendly attitude towards Julius. This young man was none other than Kael Frostborn, the most prominent and talented youth in the Dragon Earth Tower.Galen Blackthorn and Kael Frostborn themselves had a family relationship. They both came from the Blackthorn Family and were cousins. However, their relationship could be described as strained, and occasional small conflicts occurred between them.“You don’t need to interfere in my affairs! Whatever I do is my own business, and you have no right to comment on it. Don’t think you’re the only talented one in this world. Eventually, you will see the greatness of those around you who will far surpass you!” retorted Galen Blackthorn, his speech filled with frustration.“You dare to
Master Cedric Silver explained one by one about the basic sword techniques that he taught to the students in the Dragon Earth Tower. For the second technique, he explained that it was used to attack opponents. This technique combines the power of inner energy within the body with the aura of the sword held in their hands. However, this technique still uses a physical sword, which greatly affects the strength of the sword.The third technique is a defensive and offensive sword technique. With this technique, cultivators can both attack and defend against enemy counterattacks. However, this technique will be very difficult to master for those with low energy and spiritual realms in martial arts. He explained that at least one must master martial arts techniques at the sixth heavenly level. If cultivators below that level force themselves to use this technique, there is a high probability of fatally attacking themselves.In this Sword Technique, the most prominent is Galen Blackthorn, th
“It’s truly unfortunate that with intelligence like yours, you have such a weak body. If only there were medicine or food that could heal you, I would certainly buy it no matter the cost. That way, you could become stronger, and of course, I would benefit from having a friend like you, Julius!” Galen Blackthorn said, patting his friend’s shoulder.Julius simply smiled upon hearing the praise from Galen Blackthorn. He was very pleased to hear that his friend had good intentions to find medicine or food that could cure him. Galen Blackthorn was even determined to pay any amount if such medicine existed. He almost mentioned to Galen Blackthorn about the God Fruit mentioned by Master Lin Duano yesterday. However, he remembered the master’s advice to keep it secret, so he refrained from telling his friend.The next day, the new students’ lessons at the Tower of the Gods Academy were held together. This time, the lesson was given by a Master named Kaelen Frostfire, who was the Vice Chairman
Boom!A powerful explosion occurred as the Demon God Emperor was about to strike Julius’s body. Suddenly, from the body of the highest God Emperor emerged an immensely powerful force. A bright white light directly struck the Demon God Emperor, causing him to be thrown back forcefully.Julius began to regain consciousness. The power emanating from his body slowly built up his awareness. Now, the youth had achieved the perfect form as the Supreme God Emperor. The Emperor of God Light.“I never expected you could cause such great damage, Demon God Emperor. After several reincarnations, I finally realized that you are the mastermind behind the chaos in the human and god realms. As the Supreme Ruler of the Gods, it is my duty to punish you for what you have done!” exclaimed the Emperor of God Light.“Hahaha, you are too late, Blaze Chen! I have already disrupted the entire order of the universe. Many gods have died, weakening the universe. I have absorbed the power of many humans through th
The sky grew darker. The universe seemed to be engulfed in a fierce storm. Two cosmic forces were locked in battle.“W-what’s happening?”Humans, spiritual beings, and other living creatures across distant lands felt fear as they witnessed the unfolding chaos. The entire universe was caught in the throes of a mighty clash between two great powers.The Demon God Emperor himself, after ordering his minions to attack the Gods aligned with the Emperor of Light, began to unleash his full power. He soared into the sky, extending his hands. Dark energy surged from within him, radiating outwards in all directions. Only places protected by arrays, and the Gods themselves, remained untouched by this darkness.Meanwhile, Hidalgo continued to focus his power to reach its peak. He did this to merge all his strength and essence with the body of the Emperor of Light. He was willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant his soul would be destroyed and vanish from the universe forever.“It seems t
The Demon Goddess attacked the Emperor of the God of Light who was still unconscious and under the protection of the Sword of Universal Light. The first attack couldn’t break through the shield guarding the son of the Heavenly Emperor. Instead, the Demon Goddess herself was thrown back when she attacked with the Spear of Devastating Hellfire. Fortunately, the Demon Goddess wore armor that could protect her from the power of the Sword of Universal Light.The Demon Goddess soared through the air after being thrown by the Sword of Universal Light. After pausing for a moment, the Demon Goddess, who was under the control of the power of the Demon God Emperor, launched another attack. She raised the spear in her hand towards the sky. The true power of the Spear of Devastating Hellfire radiated strongly.“Haaaaa!”The Demon God Emperor shouted loudly. However, the cry came from the mouth of the Demon Goddess. Then, still under the influence of the Demon God Emperor, the Demon Goddess attacke
The universe was in great turmoil. The Emperor of the Light Gods had lost consciousness, while the Emperor of the Demon Gods rose with his maximum power. Who would have thought that he was the mastermind behind all the chaos in the universe all this time.“Demon Goddess, finish off that child!”The Emperor of the Demon Gods touched the shoulder of the Demon Goddess. Instantly, the wounds she suffered from the battle with Hidalgo healed as if by magic. The gaze of the Demon Goddess began to look terrifyingly sharp. There was deep-seated vengeance contained in that gaze towards Hidalgo.“Li Julius, our end is near today!” muttered Hidalgo as he looked towards the body of Li Julius, the Emperor of the Light Gods, who was lying there enveloped in the power of the Sword of the Universe’s Light protecting him.The Demon Goddess moved very quickly to attack Hidalgo. Her power this time increased many times over. The young man didn’t have time to evade the attack. He was immediately thrown ba
The battle between the Emperor of the light gods and the dark figure was even more intense. Although still under the power of the Emperor of the light gods, the creature was only half a level behind the strongest god. Thus, it could still evade the attacks launched by the Emperor of the light gods, although it was enough to leave it somewhat stunned.As time passed, the consciousness of the Emperor of the light gods diminished. This also caused the concentration of the Emperor of the gods to decrease. Of course, this condition also weakened his strength. Until a few moments later, the situation turned, and the black creature now stood above the wind.Hidalgo, whose attention had been divided several times towards the battle of the God Emperor, noticed the Emperor of the Light God’s worsening condition. This was the reason why Hidalgo couldn’t easily defeat the Demon Goddess. His divided concentration made his power less than maximum.“It seems like Li Julius is starting to lose consci
“Trouble!”Demon King Williams Lee looked extremely panicked witnessing the change in power displayed by the Emperor of the Light Gods. The longer the Emperor of the Light Gods displayed his power, the greater and more frightening he became. Even though he had merged souls and powers, he still couldn’t match a quarter of the power of the Emperor of the Light Gods.Demon King Williams Lee glanced towards the Palace of Darkness. He felt relieved knowing that the power accumulated by the palace was almost complete. That meant his lord would soon rise. Only his lord was the only hope to confront the Emperor of the Light Gods.Julius, the emperor of the light gods, had finished gathering his strength. He immediately dashed to attack. With all his might, Demon King Tiberius Williams Lee managed to defeat his strength to fend off the attack. However, he still couldn’t avoid disaster. The power of the Emperor of the Light Gods was truly immense, and he couldn’t overcome it.Demon King Tiberi
After agreeing to merge the soul and body of Tiberius Williams Lee and the Demon King, they immediately separated. They began to perform the fusion technique. Meanwhile, thousands of demons and Tiberius Williams Lee’s followers formed a formation to defend themselves and prevent Julius from interfering.Li Julius realized the danger of merging the two beings. Although it wouldn’t have the same strength as his own, it would still be dangerous. Moreover, Julius still couldn’t fully utilize his own power. Certainly, the merger of the two creatures’ strengths would pose a great threat to Julius.Hidalgo shared the same concern as his brother. However, he couldn’t do much due to his weakening condition. Currently, only Julius’s power could be relied upon to fight against the demons.Julius realized that the hopes of the gods and humans now rested solely on his shoulders. That was what he lamented because none of the gods or humans could match the opponent’s strength. While the power he pos
“Do not let the Emperor of the Light Gods destroy the center of darkness power gatherer!” Williams Lee shouted, reminding everyone.Leading the demons to protect the center point of darkness power within the dark palace was none other than the leader of the demons themselves. He possessed the same power level as Tiberius Williams Lee, who resided in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods. The leader of the demons, who had once successfully seized Nirvana from the hands of the heavenly emperor, was taken aback by Williams Lee’s condition at that moment.The demon leader saw him truly in a pitiful state, despite being in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods, just like himself. The demon leader immediately concluded that the Emperor of the Light Gods had succeeded in awakening his true power. This meant he would face an opponent who possessed far greater power than his own.“Demon King, the true power of the Emperor of the Light Gods is only temporary; he can only wield it for
The Emperor of the Light God struggled a bit to build a portal to connect that place to the dimension of his creation. He, who had not yet reached his full strength, found it somewhat difficult to do it all. Opening a portal that connects two realms of dimensions is indeed very difficult. Tiberius Williams Lee alone required the power of hundreds of thousands of demons plus the power of darkness to be able to do it.If the Emperor of the Light God could already use his power without limitations, surely he would do it easily. Because the Emperor of the Light God is also known as the Ruler of Space and Time. He who created many places and times in this universe. Unfortunately, he finds it very difficult to use that ability with the limitations of the power he possesses.Actually, there is another way he could open the portal to that dimensional gate if he were right at the pagoda of the Tower of the Gods academy. By using the dimensional bridge pagoda that he had used to go to Nirvana w
