“Wait!”Before Julius could launch his attack on Arnel Cortés, his intention was halted as his opponent suddenly restrained him. Julius withdrew his attack, ceasing to channel his energy, as Arnel Cortés did the same. It seemed the young man wanted to discuss something with Julius.“What is your relationship with the Tiberius family in the city of Luminae? Do you know Tiberius Tiberius Achilles?” Arnel Cortés asked straightforwardly.Julius furrowed his brow at such a question. He felt there was something extraordinary behind Arnel Cortés’s inquiry. Instead of immediately answering, Julius tried to figure out what his opponent was truly thinking.“I am the young master of the Tiberius family in Luminae. Tiberius Tiberius Achilles is my grandfather,” Julius replied.“Hmm, is what you’re saying true? As far as I know, Tiberius Tiberius Achilles’s grandson is already dead. I met him on the bridge to reincarnation. I could tell because he had a lineage connection with me, also bearing the
“Let’s go inside, Julius! Let’s see what you can find in there. Whatever you’ll discover depends on your luck in this God’s Palace!” said the Emperor of the Central Earth Palace.Julius nodded in response to the emperor’s words. Then they both began to enter the portal that connected them to the God’s Palace. The palace’s walls were almost entirely made of crystal, while the pillars were made of precious gold. However, unfortunately, the palace, as magnificent as it was, no longer had any furnishings inside, just empty rooms.“Your Majesty, what can we find here? I don’t sense anything in this place except for empty rooms along the way we passed. Is there really a valuable treasure in this place?” Julius wondered, feeling there was nothing in the God’s Palace.“Be patient, Julius, just follow where I lead. I assure you; you will gain great benefits by being in this palace even if you don’t find anything here. Haven’t you already benefited from this God’s Palace? Just check what happen
“It turns out the situation is already this dire. So, has His Majesty the Emperor found a cultivator capable of reaching the realm of the Gods?” Julius asked after listening to the explanation from the Emperor of the Earth Central Kingdom.“So far, not yet,” the emperor shook his head. “Initially, we hoped it would be you who could free the Sky Emperor from the trap of the subconscious dimension of the universe’s soul. Because you are the only cultivator capable of destroying the god’s stele. But it turns out you have problems with your physical body that cannot progress rapidly.”“From where does His Majesty know that I have issues with my physical body?” Julius asked, slightly curious.The King of the Earth Central Kingdom explained to Julius that all participants had their physical conditions checked when they were still in the first stage in the dimension of spiritual animals. That place could detect the strengths and weaknesses of a cultivator. And almost everything done by culti
“So, there’s no hope left for the Sky Emperor to regain consciousness?” whispered Lien Chapelle softly, hearing Julius’s explanation.“Not necessarily. There’s still hope. The Central Earth Kingdom organized this competition to find outstanding talents who could qualify to fill the void. However, for decades, they haven’t found any talented cultivators through this competition. Including this time, they actually hoped I would be the path for the Sky Emperor to regain freedom. But in the end, they became desperate after realizing the shortcomings in my abilities,” Julius countered Lien Chapelle’s conclusion.Julius then recounted how the Central Earth Kingdom hoped he could pass through each stage of the competition they held. This was because the kingdom already knew of Julius’s talent. He also mentioned that the palace increasingly pinned hopes on him because he could destroy the monument where the Emperor’s crown was buried. However, in the end, they discovered a weakness in Julius’
“Then who will we nominate as our representative?” asked Master Rylan, with a slightly annoyed tone.“The competition for the title of Cultivator King is not intended for groups, whether they’re from academies, clans, or sects. This competition is for individuals. Anyone from the Tower of the God Academy who wishes to participate is welcome! Whether they’re masters or students, they are free to join if they are willing. However, we still need to participate to prevent the title from falling into the hands of the Demon Sects, so that the Sword of Martial Arts King will not be awarded to them,” replied Magnus Raven.A moment of silence fell upon the gathering of masters. What the head of the Tower of the God Academy feared was indeed shared by the masters. Indeed, they would rather lose their power than be under the control of the Demon Sects. However, by doing so, they would also allow chaos to reign in this world. Surrendering as cultivators and letting their power fade might be accep
“Regardless of their true purpose, what is certain is that if the title of leader of the cultivators and the sword of the martial king were in the hands of the people of the flame star demon sect, it would be very dangerous. Those of us who still want to have the power to cultivate will inevitably have to follow the orders of the person who owns the sword. If something like that happens, even though they have another purpose in gathering us here, it would still be a huge loss if they were the ones who succeeded in getting the title of cultivator king,” said the head of the God Statue academy.The head of the God Statue academy tried to break up the slight debate that was taking place. Some of those senior cultivators thought that investigating what exactly was the purpose of the Flame Star Demon Sect people gathering them and holding the match was more important than finding a way to win the match. However, some people also have different views and think that whatever their goal is, i
Suddenly a light shot out from the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance box which was in the hands of the deputy leader of the Flame Star Demon Sect. Then the small light floated in the air right in front of the gathered cultivators. The light then formed a weapon in the form of a reddish sword. The sword then emitted a golden light that was so vast that it made the place suddenly turn bright golden.“Martial King Sword!” shouted almost all the cultivators at that place.Indeed, the Martial King’s Field is very well known by cultivators in the world. Even though they never read at least heard from the master who taught them cultivation techniques. Because before learning the cultivation technique to awaken the martial spirit, they had to make a contract with the martial king sword made by the sky emperor as a link to the sky emperor.While the demons and artists were not bound by their contracts with the Heavenly Emperor. So their abilities are limited. But with the capture of the Demon God
“This is the secret place of the gods that I meant!” said the Emperor.Julius was greatly impressed by the place he was currently visiting. He did not expect there to be a place that held so many valuable objects of the gods. During his time as a god of light, he had never encountered a place like this.“Why are all these weapons of the gods here, Your Majesty?” Julius asked.“Hahaha... remarkable knowledge you have. I didn’t expect a young man like you to have such extensive knowledge about the gods. Most of the weapons here belonged to the gods whose owners perished during the wars with the demons in the past. The Heavenly Emperor keeps these weapons here so that they won’t be seized by the demons,” replied the Emperor of the Central Earth Kingdom.Julius fell silent for a moment. He hadn’t realized that his father, the Heavenly Emperor, was facing many problems after he was gone. Especially now, he had to sacrifice his energy to be given to the cultivators so they could cultivate q
