Beefy Bob immediately crushed the lollipop in his mouth with his teeth. He turned around and roared, “Shut the hell up!”His power surged from his abdomen to his mouth. Like a wolf howling at midnight, his force was overwhelming.Gregory and Andrew immediately grimaced, quickly covering their ears with their hands. Their minds buzzed, and they went deaf temporarily.Ray felt his spirit roiling within his body. He had to take a deep breath to stomach the strength of Beefy Bob’s roar. His face dropped immediately.“Whoever dares lay a hand on Isaac will have to go through me first. So who wants to go first?” Beefy Bob glared, sweeping his gaze over the people in front of him.It was suddenly so silent one could hear a pin drop. Allegra’s palms were already sweating from nerves. She wanted to take Isabelle away from here immediately.“Oh, wow, mister, you’re so amazing! We beat another level!” Isabelle squealed joyfully, breaking the tense atmosphere.“It’s all thanks to you, Bella
“Who do you think you are, punk? How dare you ask Old Alec to give you an explanation? If you think you’re all that, you should fight me first!” Ray taunted.Edward also shouted in a cold voice, “Garten, you need to reflect on what a shameless person you are! When my father made a name for himself, you were still a single cell.”“Dad, there’s no need to fight with this asshole,” Edward added, comforting his father. “Go get some rest.”But Alec was already furious, despite not showing it blatantly. He turned to look at Ray and then smiled suddenly.“Punk, Mr. Luther said he wanted to challenge you. If you dare to take up his challenge, I will give Allegra an explanation. But you—you have no right to ask me for an explanation,” Alec said, coldness flickering in his eyes.How dare that punk put him on the spot like that? He wanted to have Ray teach this bastard, who reminded him of his useless son-in-law back then, a lesson.Isaac smiled. “Well, you call the shots in the Gould and B
“I stand by Mr. Luther. He needs to teach this conceited punk a lesson.”“Since it’s Mr. Luther, this fucker will get beaten so bad he’ll start crying for his mother.”An uproar broke out below the stage. Naturally, these people were on Alec’s side.Ray looked at Isaac. Seeing that he had his hands behind his back and looked nonchalant, fury roiled in his heart. But to keep up appearances, he suppressed his rage and smiled. “Punk, I’ll let you dish out three moves first; how about that? I don’t want people saying I bully the young.”“Hit me.”“What did you say?”“Hit me.”“Punk, aren’t you being too reckless?”“I’ll let you dish out three moves first!”Ray was about to blow his lid. Seeing how his opponent looked at him with that scornful gaze, he let out an angry roar. Channeling his strength, he swung his fist at Isaac.The crisp sound of swift punches could be heard. The audience was transfixed, holding their breath as they watched Mr. Luther fight.Ray threw out three co
In the next moment, someone snickered.Then, the entire crowd burst into laughter.“Does this guy have a screw loose?”“I think he just escaped from a mental hospital. Did he just ask Old Alec to get on his knees?”As everyone was focused on Isaac, Gregory was smiling coldly from his wheelchair. He turned to look at the three thugs walking in this direction. The three thugs immediately split up and approached Isabelle…Edward and Margaret gritted their teeth and almost jumped up in anger.Meanwhile, Alec turned to look at Allegra. With a gloomy face, he asked, “Allegra, this young man is asking your mother and me to go up and apologize to you. Was this your idea?”“No, G—Grandfather. It wasn’t. I never said this.” Allegra’s heart jumped to her throat upon seeing her grandfather’s face. “Then, do you think I should go up there, get down on my knees, and apologize?” Alec narrowed his eyes.Allegra didn’t dare meet Alec’s eyes. Instead, she froze up completely, feeling utterly
Gregory chose to act now because he knew how important Isabella was to Allegra. If he could control Allegra, then Isaac would also be subdued.Furthermore, Alec would also be indebted to him. Gregory could ignore Edward and the like, but the literary genius of Southland had some degree of importance. “As expected of Mr. Merck Jr. Well then, I’m waiting to see what you have in store.” Alec crossed his arms. He would no doubt be satisfied if the tables could be turned at this moment.“Andy, wheel me up the stage!” Gregory waved at Andrew, who was spacing out.Andrew immediately stepped forward respectfully and pushed Gregory’s wheelchair onto the stage.Isaac gazed coldly at Gregory. His heart suddenly clenched, and he felt a little uneasy.“Heh, you scumbags are really ballsy. Isaac, I’ve looked into you—you’re a fucking reformed prisoner. What right do you have to be here shouting at others?” Gregory roared, pointing his finger at Isaac.Below, Beefy Bob’s eyebrows furrowed, th
Isaac turned and glared at Gregory in fury. He smiled slightly when he saw Gregory’s smug grin. “You want me to kneel? Do you really think you’ve won?” He walked toward the stage as he spoke.When he brushed past Alec, the latter snorted loudly and said, “Young man, not only do you have to kneel to Mr. Merck Jr., but you also owe the Gould family an explanation for your actions today!”Eugene, who had been standing silently among the crowd, approached Margaret from behind. He lowered his voice and said, “Margaret, tell Mr. Merck Jr. that if he doesn’t bring Isabella back, things will turn sour.”Margaret rolled her eyes at her husband. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Eugene, what are you saying? You’re now helping them instead of your own family. You must want this savage man to shit on our family, don’t you? I’m telling you, only someone like Mr. Merck Jr. can subdue those two bitches. Just watch. Once they kneel down to apologize to our father, I’ll publicly disown Allegra. I want
Isaac didn’t speak loudly, but every word hammered into Gregory’s heart like iron nails. He wet his pants as his body shook uncontrollably. All his courage from earlier had evaporated. He nodded frantically, speaking hoarsely, “L—Let me make a phone call to r—release her.”Isaac could confirm two things as of now. First of all, Isabella had been taken for no longer than ten minutes, so there was no way she had left the hotel premise already. Secondly, Gregory simply aimed to make him yield, so he definitely did not contract a killer. Furthermore, Gregory must value his life more than Isabella’s.Isaac loosened his right hand a bit. Gregory gasped a few times before taking out his phone to make a call.A dignified roar came from the entrance of the field then. “Isaac, if you dare hurt my son in any way, the Merck family will never forgive you!”Edward trembled when he heard this voice, and he turned toward the entrance like everyone else.Allen, dressed in blue casual clothes, en
Allen thought his son had made it out of the lion’s den, but just as he bolted toward the stage frantically, Isaac suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it on Gregory’s head.The power from his palm bore straight through Gregory’s head with the force of 100 pounds!Before he could even take in a breath, Gregory’s eyes popped open, and he fell to his knees next to Isaac. A look of agony materialized and became permanently etched on his face.The audience gaped at the sight of Mr. Merck Jr. suddenly kneeling next to Isaac as blood poured from his eyes, nose, and ears.He was bleeding from all his orifices.This guy just killed the son of the Merck family right in front of his father? Mr. Merck Jr. of Cloud City was dead?“From now onward, anyone who dares to touch Allegra or Isabella will end up like this person next to me!” Isaac’s words resonated through the depths of everyone’s souls as if they had come from an endless abyss.“Son!” Allen screamed, rushing onto the stage t
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
"If you really feel so uneasy, how about I keep you company tonight?" Isaac smiled."Ah? You naughty!" Mixandrei's face turned red as she playfully scolded.Isaac then spent a few relaxing months more with his family.During that period, even someone like Mixandrei, who used to be completely immersed in cultivation, experienced a change in mindset.She realized that those were the truly carefree days.What was the purpose of the effort put into cultivation?Wasn't it all for the freedom they craved?Another six months passed.Skylar's body had finally fully recovered to her peak.Allegra, Evie, and the children were sent back to the lower realm by Isaac.Isaac and Mixandrei could finally begin their journey to explore that mysterious realm."Isaac, I want to... have a child with you." That night, Skylar lay in Isaac's embrace and spoke softly with a hint of shyness."Huh? Why do you think of that?" Isaac asked with interest."Because... I want to keep up with you, at least
"When you were unconscious, I managed to conquer the other two kingdoms. Currently, the Boltzyn Dynasty is still under the rule of several generals from our kingdom. I haven't yet decided who will serve as the emperor there. Elon's eldest son, Ergon, is in charge of the Seraphym Dynasty with Connor and Zaid assisting as Regents. "Once Ergon is ready to take full control, the authority of the Regents will be withdrawn." Isaac pushed Skylar along while explaining and giving an overview of the events that had taken place in the Upper Martial Realm over the past few years.Skylar was quite shocked after hearing that Isaac took down the Seraphym Dynasty and Boltzyn Dynasty.Wasn't it said that it was a turbulent time with powerful figures emerging everywhere, making it unwise to do something so flashy?She had many overwhelming feelings and a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but because of her physical condition, she couldn’t speak up.That made her feel a bit puzzled.Spending ti
"She's recovering, although it might take a while for her to wake up. The important thing is that she survived. I was the one who killed her, and I've always felt guilty about it. Now that she can live again, that's the best outcome." Drea looked at Isaac holding Skylar in his arms. His dry, wrinkled face showed a hint of joy, and he spoke."Haha, it's actually not your fault because, at that time, your body was controlled by an evil corpse spirit. You were essentially another being." Isaac, who was in high spirits, laughed heartily.In a sense, Drea could be considered a corpse spirit too, but he was aligned with him and obeyed his commands, essentially a "righteous" or "good" corpse spirit.It was no longer the purely malevolent corpse spirit it once was.While they both inhabited the same body, their souls were fundamentally different."I'm really curious about that mysterious realm Dreamlerq mentioned. What exactly is it?" Mixandrei asked curiously.That was a secret known
How strong was Dreamlerq?No wonder that Freddie and Esther called him the top prodigy ever since!"Skylar!" Isaac lifted Skylar from the coffin yard and channeled divine energy into her body.Divine energy had miraculous power and of course, the key was that Skylar’s soul was intact and the physical damage to the body wasn’t too severe.The effects of divine energy began to show.Isaac felt a slight movement of Skylar's heart.Then, with thumping sounds, it began to pulsate."It works! It really works!" Isaac was overjoyed.He finally managed to revive Skylar. He truly didn't know what he could do next if it didn't work."She needs a long time to recover, so let her stay here and continue absorbing divine energy. It looks like this Immortal Realm portal will take a few minutes to close," Mixandrei said.Although Skylar had her heart beating, it took some time for a full recovery.Isaac waited patiently.Additionally, he took out the Soul Purifying Flask and coffin, intendi
As someone at the advanced stage of the Divine Sovereign Phase, she could only control a small portion of the principle.However, this powerful being seemed capable of commanding all of it!"Is this…an immortal?" She murmured to herself in awe. The surrounding space shifted, and without anyone realizing it, they had arrived at the immortal tomb. This place was normally inaccessible unless actively opened. However, it had been breached effortlessly under Dreamlerq's influence.The sheer capability was astonishing. "It's such a pity…Sir Freddie passed away too soon. If he were still alive now, just a breath of divine energy or entering the immortal realm would have granted him eternal life…"Isaac's thought left him feeling a sense of regret."Freddie's lifespan had already reached its limits. Even if he inhaled divine energy, he couldn't have been able to live much longer.""As for helping him enter the immortal realm, that's beyond my ability. It would have involved treme
"You're clearly far away in the Immortal realm," Isaac expressed his amazement through his consciousness. "To my knowledge, you're in great need of divine energy right now. With the soul artifact, you'll be able to obtain it," Dreamlerq responded. A spark of joy lit up in Isaac's heart. The soul artifact could help him to acquire divine energy. But how? As the artifact's owner, Isaac had a general understanding of its functions. However, there wasn't an option to open the Immoral Realm. He wasn't at the peak of the Sacrificial Phase, so how could he pierce the Immoral Realm's barrier and create a small opening?"I know what you're wondering. Now that you have my soul artifact, you can easily communicate with me. From my end in the Immortal Realm, I can create a small opening for you to draw in divine energy. Just remember to use the soul artifact to contain the energy, it can hold as much as you're able to capture." Dreamlerq seemed to have guessed Issac's confusion and explai
The colossal object radiated a faint white glow, its outer surface surrounded by continually emerging vapors, resembling boiling dry ice. The soul artifact Drea had mentioned resided within those vapors. "This is the soul artifact you spoke of?" Isaac asked in astonishment. He stepped closer and attempted to touch the vapors. Despite appearing gaseous, it was, in reality, composed of souls; not the vengeful spirits found in the ten thousand resentful bones, but wisps of theorems. Indeed, these soul-related theorems continuously emerged around the artifact. "Did Dreamlerq's principle involve souls?" Isaac asked. "Yes, my true form cultivated the Principle of Souls. This artifact is something he created himself. Through it, you can reach a world beyond anything you could imagine," Drea responded. "A world beyond imagination?" Isaac narrowed his eyes. Those were the exact words Dreamlerq had spoken to him in his dream. Now, it seemed that the enormous artifact was the
Everything, absolutely everything, originated from Chaos. That was to say, all things, whether living or non-living, whether the laws governing the universe or any tangible objects originated from Chaos. It was exactly where they were right now!"Oh my god, I suddenly feel like I'm incredibly close to principles of the void and the principles of internal demons. I can even manipulate them with ease!"Isaac was astonished by his discovery. He had only barely grasped two principles, the principles of the void and the principles of the internal demons. Yet here, he felt an intimate connection with all principles, enabling him to understand and harness them more effectively. "I feel the same way. I cultivate the Principle of Transcendence, and it feels incredibly close as well," Mixandrei said in agreement. As the two conversed, Drea stepped out of the coffin yard, his body appearing outside. "Don't come out! Your physical bodies have yet to reach the sacrificial phase and ca
