Isaac, Lupinus, and Todd hurried over to the surveillance station as quickly as they could.It seemed like everyone had already forgotten about Harlan's death. The dozen or so intelligence agents at the station were busy bustling around.Claude was standing next to Black Phoenix as she typed on the keyboard. There was a layer of sweat on her forehead. She was very anxious about this.After all, Evie was pregnant with Drakon's child. If Black Phoenix didn't do her job properly, it would result in Evie or the child getting hurt. Then, she would be on the chopping board next."What's the situation like? Where are they?" Isaac asked as soon as he entered.Black Phoenix stood up and said to Claude, "Bring in the projector and set it up."The projector and the screen were set up in no time. Black Phoenix then hit a few keys on her keyboard and projected a large, detailed map onto the screen.She pointed at a group of buildings in the middle of the mountains. She said, "This is the mai
"Lupinus, throw Heath out as soon as it's light tomorrow."Lupinus nodded and headed out. He didn't know why Isaac wanted to do this, but he wasn't going to ask him. He would just go ahead and do it."Black Phoenix, come up with two ambush plans immediately. I'm sure that the Ashleighs will be keeping an eye on every corner of Gayton this time around."Isaac turned and bore his eyes into Black Phoenix. "We will be sneaking into Little Ash without them noticing."Black Phoenix nodded and paused for a second. "Drakon, I'm planning to leave the surveillance duties here to Claude. W—would that be alright with you?"She knew that she shouldn't be asking this kind of question, but she also had to return to the Temple of Drakon's headquarters. There were more things for her to deal with there.Isaac looked at Claude with a dark expression. He asked in a low voice, "Were you the one who reported the incident to me without going through proper protocols the last time?""Y—yes, Drakon," C
He had imagined this scenario happening many times. However, when it really played out, Heath still couldn't believe himself. He was an elder from Everest Sect, for goodness' sake!His position was a lot higher than that of the four heads of the True Martial Families. Yet, here he was, afraid of a brat like Isaac.However, Heath knew that if he were to leave now, he was going to suffer."That's right. I need your protection. Once I leave Cloud City, I'm going to be assassinated."If you refuse to help me now, you're an ungrateful brat. Are you sure you'll be able to live with that?"Isaac stood up when he was questioned by Heath. He chuckled and said, "I'm not an ungrateful brat. But what you say you did for me wasn't exactly for me, either."You helped me escape from the dungeon because you were old friends with my teacher. So you were doing him a favor. Not me."If you're really afraid of being assassinated, I might reconsider helping you out if you did something for me," Isaa
"What does it mean to 'lose a mind', Daddy?"Isaac was speechless.He went out to the living room and played with Isabella for a bit. Todd then came into the house with two huge racks of ribs. He smelled like blood and game. He then yelled into the kitchen, "Ms. Lambert, we're having pork ribs for dinner tonight! Please help prepare it. Thank you!""Uncle Todd, when will your sickness get better?" Isabella suddenly asked Todd in a loud voice.Todd looked at her in surprise. He chuckled and asked, "Little minx, who told you I was sick?""Daddy said so. He said that you were sick, and if you didn't kill piggies to eat, you would lose your head!" Isabella exclaimed. Her face was full of concern as she asked, "Uncle Todd, do you want to see a doctor?"Todd narrowed his eyes as he glared at Isaac.Isaac hurriedly stood up and took Isabella up to the second floor."Isaac, you bastard, don't you run away like that! You'd better explain yourself! Isaac Garten … fuck!"…Time pass
Everyone turned serious immediately. Leroy's face twisted into a nasty sneer. The other elders behind him were also looking sinister. Meanwhile, Caesar kept his eyes trained on "Isaac" as he fell into deep thought.Channing gritted his teeth in anger as he stood up. He was probably the only one who hated Isaac just as much as Leroy did.Only Altair and Mizar frowned when they saw "Isaac" arriving. "That idiot. Did he really come here alone? Who does he think he is, the god of war?" Altair cursed under his breath.Mizar just chuckled and said, "He's a playboy, but a brave and courageous one at that. Kudos to him."This was the first time Mizar had anything positive to say about Isaac.After all, everyone present knew that Leroy had kidnapped Evie, Isaac's side chick. They also knew that she was pregnant with Isaac's child."Isaac" walked up to the center of the platform. Leroy asked his third elder in disbelief, "Are you absolutely sure that Isaac came alone? There's nobody el
"Fine. We'll let you have a look at your precious beloved, then."Leroy turned around and roared, "Bring out that bitch!" Two guards then brought Evie out of a wooden hut about 300 feet away. She was all tied up with rope.Evie caught sight of "Isaac" in the middle of the field. Her expression changed to one of terror, and she tried to rush forward. However, she was immediately held back by the guards behind her.Evie cried, "Why are you so foolish? Why did you come alone?"Isaac, you idiot, you shouldn't have come! Don't you know that this is a trap? Run! Go away! Make a run for it!" Evie cried at the top of her lungs.She knew very well where she was. Also, those people surrounding them were all powerful Celestial Phase fighters.Suddenly, she was slapped across the cheek. Leroy hollered at her, "Shut the fuck up, fucking bitch!"Leroy was deeply worried that Isaac would suddenly make a run for it. If that were the case, his son would be dead as a doornail very soon."Isaac
Leroy hesitated for a second. Then, he suddenly hollered at the guard who was taking Evie over to Heath. "Wait, bring her back! Bring her back!"The guard was confused. He was stunned for a while as he processed Leroy's words.Heath then heard Isaac roaring in his ear, along with the sound of gushing winds. "Quick, grab Evie and head north!"Heath then activated his spiritual energy and dashed toward the guard. The 30-foot distance was nothing for him. The guards suddenly felt a sharp pain in their stomachs and flew backward.Evie felt herself being lifted into the air. She hadn't even caught sight of who it was, but she could feel the waves of strong spiritual energy coming at the two of them from their surroundings.The sky was dark. About a thousand Dusk Soldiers were mid-descent, parachuting to the ground at the highest speed possible. Isaac descended the fastest among them.He had to surround his head with spiritual energy so that he could still somewhat make out what Heat
There were only about 150 feet left before they touched down. Isaac kept his hands on his parachute, swiftly guiding it down. His eyes were blood-red."Land on the rooftops. Jump!" Isaac yelled into his earpiece. He then activated the spiritual energy in his hands and cut off the parachute cord.His body started falling quickly to the ground. He could barely control the direction of his fall. But he still steered toward the rooftop as much as he could.The descending Dusk Soldiers and generals also cut off their parachute cords. One by one, they landed on the rooftop or in surrounding trees.Whoosh!The moment Isaac landed, the parachute above him was immediately blown into pieces by Leroy.There were loud cries of pain in the sky above them. Isaac felt his heart throbbing in pain as he heard the loud cries for help. He knew those were the sounds of his Dusk Soldiers getting hit by Leroy's blast.Even if they survived the blast with just injuries, they would still fall to the gr
"Ah!" Isaac let out a low, raspy scream.It hurt so much.The suffering of spiritual anguish was just as intense as physical pain, if not more so.In an hour, the Darklord lowered the intensity of the torment to a level where Isaac was in constant pain, but not killing him."You talk too much, woman. When the barrier is lifted, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of being so talkative!" the Darklord looked at Mixandrei and spoke in a sinister tone.Then, he let out a cold laugh."No rush, I've got plenty of time to wait this out with you. It's only been a few months, and I can wait alongside you for decades or even hundreds of years. Take your time and enjoy."……After finishing the statement, he stopped talking again and just sat there, using a few methods to torment.One month…Two months…One year…Two years…......In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.Isaac's spirit was tormented by Darklord for an entire decade.Over the past ten years, Isaac ha
At that moment, his words pierced Isaac's ears like a sharp knife; it was also like a blow to Isaac.It was indeed, a spiritual blow."One day, I will tear you apart and make you regret ever being born." Isaac clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and he issued a threat."Hmm?" The Darklord furrowed his brow, clearly not expecting Isaac to have the audacity to say something like that."You're gutsy, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Do you even realize the situation you're in right now? Do you really think you can pull it off?" the Darklord responded with mocking sarcasm.Over the past two months, Mixandrei stayed within a protective shield, shedding countless tears and yelling until her voice was hoarse, but it was all in vain.She could only watch helplessly as her beloved was continuously tormented, unable to do anything under the barrier.That had just as much of an impact on her."Isaac, I don't understand what you're still holding onto. You're exhausted. Why not let go an
At that moment, he had no idea how naive his words were.The Darklord quickly transported him to a dark space to torment his soul. He was coerced to submit and become a slave, and reveal all his secrets.For the first time in his life, Isaac was experiencing such torment.It was pure torment from the Darklord!It was like being better off dead than alive."Kneel, submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and become my servant. Otherwise, I'll keep tormenting you like this forever."The Darklord tormented Isaac's spirit while giving him orders.The Darklord appeared quite unhurried.Isaac was even threatened, with the implication that if he didn't agree, there would be some very inappropriate actions taken against Mixandrei right in front of him.Faced with that situation, Isaac couldn't hold back his anger and felt the urge to fight back.But he was too weak.The soul artifact buffed his spirit, but it only allowed him to contend with the Sacrificial Phase in its early st
"Who's there?" Isaac suddenly shouted in alarm.Someone nearby launched a surprise attack.Mixandrei was slightly slow to react but she chose to trust Isaac and prepare for battle together with him.Thud!A sharp flash of a blade cut through the void.They immediately retaliated with all their strength."King of Pyrois?" Isaac squinted, trying to identify.That person was covered head to toe in a black cloth, concealing the true appearance.The battle resumed. Isaac was evenly matched but soon another enemy appeared behind him.It was the King of Pyrois."Haha, Zegna, thanks for inviting me to help out. If I let him get away, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!" King of Pyrois laughed heartily."Zegna?" Isaac squinted his eyes."Could this man in black really be Zegna?"King of Pyrois and Zegna, one in front and one in back, were positioning themselves to launch an attack on Isaac and Mixandrei.At that point, the power of the soul artifact became evident once
In the recent fight, the King of Pyrois was on the weak side and it left him a bit annoyed.But it was okay.There were plenty of allies nearby."Everyone, attack!" As soon as he gave the order, two hundred guards charged continuously, wave after wave.Although they were mere mortals, the realm's blessing endowed them to pose a threat to Isaac and Mixandrei."Let's go!"Isaac wasn't willing to stay any longer. He grabbed Mixandrei and prepared to leave."You think you can get away? Not a chance!" King of Pyrois flew into the air, attempting to intercept.Isaac attempted to rip through spacetime but was thwarted because they could seal the void.That made his heart skip a beat because it would be difficult for them to leave by using the Principles of the Void."There's a gap, go that way!" Mixandrei launched an attack in another direction to enlarge the gap.Isaac followed right behind.However, the King of Pyrois was close behind, moving faster than the two of them."Get l
Just as Isaac was about to strike, a captain stopped the guard and ordered, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them in!"……"Yes." The guards behaved and followed orders.Then one of the guards whispered a threat to Isaac."Once we're in City 12, don't try any sneaky stealing. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch you!"……Isaac squinted and glanced at him as he remained silent.Isaac and Mixandrei entered the city.The streets and buildings inside the city looked just like those in the real realm.Isaac soon realized that the people living there all had a strong spiritual resilience.No wonder those guards were so arrogant. In the outside realm, anyone who dared to be that arrogant toward a high-level martial artist would be dead."The person who just allowed the two of you to enter the city without any trouble was actually the advisor. He recognized you both. The advisor would like to meet the two of you. Would two of you be willing to oblige?" At that moment, a thin
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
