“You scoundrel... Who are you? Quickly hand over that storage ring before I take your life and send you to hell!” Benedict Kipling Blackthorn barked.Benedict Kipling Blackthorn was surprised and angry at the sudden appearance of Julius in that place. Adding to his anger was Julius’s covering of his face, making him even more furious. He was certain that the person concealing their face must know who he was.“You don’t need to know. What’s certain is that I am someone who has slaughtered many like you. Not only the Bloody Demon Prince, but I have also killed the Bloody Demon King and sent him to hell!” replied Julius cynically.Julius’s words truly enraged Benedict Kipling Blackthorn while instilling fear in his heart. He had indeed heard that his brother, who was the Right-Wing Commander of the Demon Sect, had been killed during an attack on the Tower of the Gods Academy. Later, rumors circulated that a young man had annihilated the envoys of the Fire Bear Group in the city of Inazum
“Who is this young man, really? How could someone with such low cultivation mastery control a legendary weapon like that? To use such a weapon, he must at least be at the level of the Earth God Realm,” murmured Blake Wilder, who was already in the hands of Miller.It wasn’t just Blake Wilder who was worried about Julius’s abilities. Benedict Kipling Blackthorn felt the same. He had planned to hold the villagers hostage but abandoned the idea because Julius’s capabilities made him lose his nerve. Now, he had no choice but to do what Julius commanded.Everyone had gathered in Blake Wilder’s courtyard. Julius ordered Benedict Kipling Blackthorn to start telling what had happened. He explained plainly that he was the one who had been terrorizing the villagers by pretending to be the undead Tiberius Achilles. Benedict Kipling Blackthorn’s confession was immediately believed by the villagers because he had worn a mask resembling Tiberius Achilles’s face and had removed it in front of them.
Julius’s words and apology to the villagers were warmly received. Everyone present felt relieved and confident that Julius wouldn’t harm them. Now it was Starfall’s family waiting to see what the young man would do to them. They resigned themselves to whatever might happen because it was impossible to resist Julius with his abilities.“Starting today, the leadership of Luminae city will be returned to the Tiberius family, and I myself will lead it. In my absence, Uncle Miller will represent me. Anyone who opposes will face severe punishment.”“Long live Young Master! Long live Young Master!”Cheers erupted from the residents of Luminae city as Julius took over the leadership of the city again. Fundamentally, they preferred the Tiberius family over the Starfall family. Under Starfall’s leadership, the city’s residents would be heavily taxed, especially those with businesses.“For anyone from the Starfall family involved in the massacre of my family, I expect an investigation and approp
“Young master and miss Calista, it would be best for you to surrender. Instead of dying here in the forest of a thousand deaths, which I assure you will make you die as if your soul has been pulled out a thousand times, feeling the pain repeatedly.”The two teenagers with the surname Calista remained silent. They were puzzled about what decision to make. If they surrendered, they would become guarantees for their parents to surrender as well. This would undoubtedly harm their families and the martial world. Many practitioners, both from the Academy’s elite and from various clans, had been kidnapped by the demon sects. They were well aware of this from the stories told by their Masters and their parents.These two teenagers were the son and daughter of a renowned Cultivation Master named Calista Shum Kaili. He was one of the cultivators in the realm of the First Level Semi-God. His abilities were not inferior to those of the head of the Tower of the God Academy. Their names were Calist
“Ikhhh . . . What is that?” Calista Qian Lin screamed, seeing the terrifying creature in front of her while hiding behind her brother’s body.Suddenly, out of nowhere, a terrifying figure appeared in that place. Its body resembled a human, more precisely a woman without wearing any clothes. However, the entire body of the creature was a glossy black, so no one would suspect that the creature was naked. Its facial features were like those of most women, except this creature had three eyes, one of which was right in the middle of its forehead. Only that eye differed in color from the rest of its body, being red.The creature looked even more terrifying with its very long hair touching the ground, even though it was about five spear lengths above the ground at that time. The hair was so thick that it scattered everywhere, showing the horror of the creature. Moreover, its glowing red eyes made the creature’s terrifying impression even stronger.“Who are you?” Julius snapped with a challen
“Haaaaaaaa!”The black creature, guardian of the forest of a thousand deaths, let out a fierce scream. It seemed like a command to attack as the black nine-tailed fox began to charge towards Julius. The fox was flung back upon hitting the darkness radiating from the young man’s body. Some parts of the fox even disappeared as if absorbed by the surrounding darkness emanating from Julius’s body.The creature appeared utterly astonished by what unfolded before its eyes. It never anticipated Julius could repel the attack it launched. Not a single one of the black nine-tailed fox’s assaults managed to touch the young man. Now, there were fewer foxes remaining, reduced by more than half.“Haaaaaaaa!”The black creature screamed once more. This time, the remaining black foxes suddenly transformed into black beams, which then merged back into the creature. Then, from the living creature’s body emerged a darkness that enveloped it entirely, rendering it invisible.Blaaaarrr!Suddenly, there wa
Blaaammmm!Everything was beyond the expectations of the man dressed in all red. It turned out the clash of powers between Julius and the nine-tailed fox queen demon was not like any usual fighters that left their defenses empty. The clash of energies between them created a circular wave of power around them. So, anything and anyone who tried to approach would be directly hit by that wave of power.The man dressed in all red, trying to take advantage while they were both engaged in the clash, was instead thrown far away by the force of the counter blow generated by the energy circle surrounding the two fighters. He was thrown to the ground and spurted fresh blood. From a distance, three greenish shadows approached the man in red.“Left Wing Commander, are you alright?” asked one of the green-clad men who had just arrived.“I’ve suffered quite severe injuries. You both should take me back to headquarters. I’ll report what I’ve found to the leader. And you, stay here and keep watch. Sei
“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
