“After that good-for-nothing suffered such an overwhelming defeat, he even came back to exaggerate how Isaac had already attained the Renascence Phase. What a load of bullcrap!” Fury was written all over Elder Thomas’ face.The old butler was appalled. “Renascence Phase?”“What’s the Renascence Phase? Is it powerful?” Warwick turned to look at the old butler.Elder Thomas’s face twisted with mockery. “Child, there are eight major phases for a martial artist—Rudimentary, Channeling, Burgeoning, Transformation, Amalgamation, Renascence, Divinity, and Celestial. The Burgeoning Phase puts you at a master level. In the whole of Southland, I can count on one hand how many have attained the Amalgamation Phase. If there is someone who has reached the Renascence Phase, then the world is at his feet. Even if all the families and ancient powers in Southland banded together, they still wouldn’t be able to beat a martial artist in the Renascence Phase, much less the Owens family alone. We cannot
“Allegra, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Margaret immediately stood up, looking nervous.Everyone had a look of shock on their face. They had never expected that the timid Allegra would do something so impulsive.“Allegra, don’t get emotional. Just put the knife down. Don’t scare Grandfather,” Andrew urged.Allegra’s tears streamed uncontrollably, and she sobbed, “I really trusted you, but you all played me the fool. I’ve already forgiven you all many times, so why do you keep on bullying me? Either give me the company or the money. Or else, I’ll die right here.” Her voice grew shriller, and she pressed the knife to her throat.Alec’s eyes filled with anxiety. He turned to look at Edward and said in a low voice, “Look at what you all have done—a whole family fighting to the point of wanting to die. Hurry up and give her an answer.”Edward’s eyebrows furrowed at his father’s urging. However, he quickly broke into a wicked smile. He stood up, pointed at Allegra, and said, “Do i
Isaac accepted Allegra’s suggestion without a fuss and started making himself comfortable.Old Alec was shaking with anger and instructed Edward to drive them off. But Edward was already weak at his knees and could not think of anything else.Edward and Margaret knew Isaac meant it when he threatened to take Edward’s life.Hence, Isaac, Allegra, and Beefy Bob stayed at the Gould family’s house the whole day.Margaret noticed Edward’s head was in a muddle. She gave it some thought and whispered an idea into his ear.When she finished speaking, Edward looked at her and asked, “Are you sure this will work?”Margaret retorted, “Would you rather lose the 60 million dollars instead?”Edward thought about it and said through gritted teeth, “Not on my life.”“See? Let’s stall them while you get Randall’s help to get through to Mr. Kenne. We must take action as soon as possible.” Margaret patted Edward’s shoulder in assurance.A short while later, Margaret appeared at Allegra’s room do
Beefy Bob got out of the car and walked up to the four men. They looked like practitioners of ancient martial arts. Beefy Bob called out, “Hey, why are you standing in the middle of the road? You’re standing in our way!”One of them replied solemnly, “We’re students from the Divine Fists School, here on our teacher’s orders to take down Isaac Garten. Those uninvolved should step aside!”Allegra was fearful. She asked, “They… they’re here for you. What should we do?”“Let’s take a stroll. Don’t concern yourself with these trivial matters.” Isaac chuckled nonchalantly.Allegra still looked worried as Isaac assisted her out of the car and went in the opposite direction.When the four men saw Isaac leaving, one of them called out immediately, “Garten! Get back here and receive your punishment.”In a split second, all four men made their moves. A thick wave of spiritual energy enveloped them as they went after Isaac.“Hah! You’re not going anywhere before defeating me.” Beefy Bob lau
“Dad, Mom, can you leave us for a minute? I have something to ask Grandpa.”Albert and Jane left the room.Old Taylor felt distressed seeing his granddaughter in this weakened state. Thankfully, she was alright. He let out a sigh of relief.“Grandpa, who is Isaac? You know the answer, don’t you?” Diana was determined.If Isaac was just a reformed prisoner, how could he throw off someone so skilled just like that?Besides, he got off after killing Charles.“Ana, knowing too much might bring you danger. Do you insist on knowing?”“Yes, Grandpa. I’ll be fine.”Old Taylor nodded and looked outside at the night sky. He said admiringly, “He came from a place known as the Temple of Drakon. It’s every warrior's dream to be there.”“Temple of Drakon… Jerk, he lied to me again,” Diana said haughtily, clenching her fists.Old Taylor stopped her anxiously, “Don’t say that, Ana. You must speak and act respectfully toward Mr. Garten.”“Hmph, I’m not afraid of him! How could he call me a t
Emily was stunned. The car before them was a high-performing car from the 7 Series; it would cost roughly two million dollars. Could Isaac really afford it, or was he simply joking around?As these thoughts ran through her mind, Emily looked toward Nelson. Nelson had been in this business for more than ten years; he could easily differentiate who could or could not purchase a car.If Isaac could afford a car, Nelson would never have asked her to take over.“Hey, is there any problem?” Isaac asked again.Emily shook her head. “Of course not. This model is a high-performing 760 that would cost about two million dollars. Are… are you sure?”Isaac sensed the doubt in Emily’s tone. He pulled out his bank card and said with a smile, “I’ll pay with this card.”Nelson looked over and noticed Emily walking hurriedly toward the finance office. He frowned and immediately followed her.“Emily, is he making a purchase?” Nelson asked when he saw the card Emily was holding, shocked.Emily nod
“I told you, he’s just my high school classmate. It’s pure coincidence.”Nelson got angrier as he thought about it. He pointed his finger right at Emily and scolded vilely, “High school classmate, my ass! Why would he buy such an expensive car from you if he’s nothing more but an ex-classmate to you? Shameless whore. Get out of my way!”“Mr. Wood, you owe me an apology.” Emily had tears in her eyes. She trembled with anger at his derogatory remarks.Nelson raised his hand when he heard this, a fierce look on his face, and he was about to slap Emily when someone stopped him.Isaac grasped Nelson’s hand and said coldly, “You’re the one with terrible manners. What makes you think you can degrade someone else?"Nelson turned and saw Isaac. He lost his cool as his anger flared. He shoved Isaac, bellowing, “Why does it concern you when I’m teaching my staff a lesson? Get your car or leave it. I don’t give a damn anymore!”Isaac slapped Nelson so hard that Nelson swiveled on his heels a
Scott burst out laughing when he heard what Isaac said. Nelson and the brutes who came with him laughed as well.Even Emily looked weirdly at Isaac.Royal Automobile was a branded car dealer—its net worth was a few hundred million dollars. One could only dream of wrecking a shop like this.“Haha! I’ve come across many boastful youngsters to date, but you’re the only one who dared brag to this extent. Alright. Entertain me. I hope you have enough money to compensate me.” Scott folded his arms and sat on a chair.The other staff members roared with laughter. They thought Isaac was out of his mind.Those who managed to start a business like this in Cloud City were definitely not average entrepreneurs.Isaac puffed on his cigarette as he waited.About 20 minutes later, three black Jeeps screeched to a halt outside the store. Several men hurried to the door and blocked the exit.Scott stood and eyed them doubtfully.More cars arrived, and this time, approximately 20 men got out. Aa
"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
