No matter how powerful the Merck family was, they were ultimately no match for this troop.Allen glared at Isaac. He knew he was done for, completely done for. His foolish son had been too impulsive!After a minute, Allen carried his son’s body under everyone's shocked gaze and walked down from the stage.The Merck family’s supporters followed after Allen and quickly left the scene.Everything that had just unfolded had greatly impacted Alec, his son, and the Booth family.With their own eyes, they had just witnessed how Isaac had killed Gregory and caused him to bleed from all his orifices with just one slap. And why were there so many guards all of a sudden? Even helicopters had come.More importantly, the head of the Merck family had voluntarily backed down!This time, the uniformed personnel didn’t greet Isaac. Instead, he looked at Beefy Bob.“On guard!” Beefy Bob shouted coldly. The uniformed personnel waved his hand, and the exit that was open earlier was quickly closed
Once Isaac and his girls left, the uniformed guards rapidly cleared the scene as well, leaving behind only the dumbfounded guests, the Gould family, and the Booth family. Edward quickly rushed to Alec’s side. He used his arm to support his father, who was almost kneeling on the floor, and shouted, “Father, are you okay?”Alec looked at the sky and said sorrowfully, “This is our family's misfortune. A misfortune indeed.”Blood spewed from his mouth, and his body collapsed onto the floor. Edward exclaimed in shock and pulled the patriarch up before he fell. He sobbed, “Father, please be okay.”“C—call Randall, and t—tell him that this old man has a favor to ask,” Alec muttered, closing his eyes. The person he wanted to see most right now was his star student, the head of the Murray family.Andrew’s wedding couldn’t proceed. Nonetheless, no one dared to spread this incident even after everyone left. They even secretly deleted the photos and videos that they took. The situation w
Gregory’s death sent shockwaves throughout Cloud City. While the Gould and Booth families were shrouded in dark clouds, the Merck family was devastated.Inside the Green Hills Funeral Parlor, dozens of the Merck family relatives gathered in the funeral hall. Allen was dressed in funeral attire. He, who had to bury his son, had red eyes and wore a dark expression.“Allen, we can’t allow Gregory’s death to be in vain. That Isaac is nothing but a convict; there is no way he has the power to summon so many guards. Something is wrong here,” a chubby man said with a frown.He was Allen’s younger brother, Simon Merck. To him, this tragedy was a pleasant surprise.His brother was old now, and he only had one son. Everyone in the family knew that the Merck family’s business would be passed on to Gregory. But now, his own son stood a chance. Simon glanced at his son. The latter got the hint and stepped forward, saying, “Uncle Allen, leave the matter of avenging Gregory’s death to me, Wil
“What’s wrong?” Isaac asked.“Isabella got into a fight at school. The teacher said she beat another kid. If I head to the school from here, it will take over an hour. Could you…”“I’ll head over now. Be there in 20,” Isaac said, already making his way out.Upon arriving at Floralis Elementary School, Isaac quickly walked toward the teacher’s room. Looking ahead, he saw Isabella standing by the wall with her head bowed.Next to her was a fat boy sitting on a chair with his leg propped up and sipping some milk. Opposite him was a young man wearing glasses. “Isabella, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Isaac knelt in front of Isabella. When he looked up, he saw bright red finger marks on Isabella’s face.“Are you Isabella’s parent? Where is her mother?” the spectacled young man asked coldly about Isaac’s identity.Isaac turned around and glanced icily at this man. “Who hit my Bella? And who are you?”The young man’s heart seized when he caught Isaac’s cold gaze. He immediately furrowe
Allegra immediately panicked when she heard the teacher’s words. She got in Isaac’s face and said angrily, “Can you not run your mouth here? Why must you always complicate matters?”Then, she turned to the head teacher to ask for forgiveness. “Mr. Carson, I’m so sorry. This is our fault. I’ll punish her and reflect deeply, so please don’t expel Isabella.”What Isaac didn’t know was that Allegra’s apologetic behavior right now was commonly seen in many parents.When the head teacher saw the pleading Allegra, he snorted and said to Isaac, “Hmph. Let’s wait for Tyler’s father to come. We’ll settle this issue then.”“Who was it who had the guts to hit my son?” An angry voice sounded from outside, and a burly man sporting a buzzcut strode in.“Dad, that’s the bastard child who hit me. She even asked someone to come over and scold me.” Tyler immediately hopped off the chair and ran into his father’s arms.Colin Green wore a light blue shirt and a gold wristwatch. He pointed at Allegra
“You’re just a reformed prisoner. Do you really think you’re all high and mighty? Get out, get the hell out!” Allegra was getting increasingly agitated because she was terrified that her daughter would lose access to education.“Ally, please trust me. Just go outside with Bella for a moment and leave things here to me. If Bella gets expelled, I’ll do anything you ask of me!” Isaac said emphatically, looking at Allegra.Allegra paused. Then, she quieted down and stared at Isaac coldly. She also knew that Isaac wouldn’t leave right now.“Okay, you promised. If Bella can no longer get an education, you must disappear from our lives!”“Okay, I promise.”Allegra immediately took Isabella out of the room. She also wanted to ask Isabella who had actually started the fight first.There were only four people left in the room. Isaac lit a cigarette, looking at the swollen faces of Jeremy and Colin. He said icily, “My request is very simple. I want your son out of this school and for you tw
Isaac walked up to a puzzled and shocked Allegra. He smiled and said, “Everything is okay now. Let’s go.”Just as they headed outside, Colin’s phone rang. He brought his phone to his ear and immediately heard the head teacher, Jeremy’s voice. “Mr. Green, we may be able to get another sum of money from that fool. Are you interested?”In Jeremy’s eyes, Isaac was nothing but a rich dolt. He had just gotten 500 thousand dollars, and now he had found another “business opportunity.”As soon as their car left, Allegra’s phone rang. When she saw that it was Jeremy’s number, her chest tightened. “O—Okay, Mr. Carson. We’ll be right back.”She put down the phone and said to Isaac, who was driving, “Turn around now. Mr. Carson said we can’t leave yet.”“Can’t leave yet?” Isaac thought, furrowing his brows.When they arrived at the office again, Jeremy was sitting down with his leg propped up. When he saw them enter, he immediately slammed his hand onto the desk and shouted angrily, “The pr
At that moment, Beefy Bob turned and charged toward Jeremy. Jeremy was startled. His legs crumpled, and he fell onto his knees on the floor. “I—It wasn’t me. It was the principal who wanted to expel Isabella. Sir, I was wrong. I just wanted to get some money from you, sir.” He bowed to Isaac as he sobbed. He saw the way Colin was rolling around on the floor in agony. His broken leg had scared the living daylights out of Jeremy. “Call your principal here now!” Isaac roared in a rage. Beefy Bob immediately stopped. Jeremy scampered out of the room. “Isaac, didn’t you promise to disappear from our lives if Isabella couldn’t study here anymore? Well, get lost!” When Allegra saw how scared Jeremy was, she was almost certain there was no hope for Isabella’s education anymore. Seeing how fervently Allegra was tugging his arm, Isaac frowned and said, “You really don’t want to see me anymore?” “Yes. Fuck off. You’re just a violent thug. I never want to see you again!” Allegra sh
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
