The Seaking Mountain lay in the deepest part of the Ethereal Fairy Sea. To leave here would take at least three months. Then, getting out of the Ethereal Fairy Sea and away from the Sea of Death would require several more months.Isaac, with his speed, could save a lot of time. However, given that the three were companions, he could not leave Flame and Mixandrei behind and go off on his own. In total, it might take them more than a year to finally return to the Kingdom of Vriweth."Oh no, with such a vast sea around us, how long will it take to get home? If I’d known, I’d have chosen another exit! That exit might have led right to Mt. Danpur," Flame complained, scratching his head in frustration.Just then, Isaac’s expression changed, alertly looking toward a certain point in the sky.Mixandrei glanced at him in confusion, unsure why Isaac reacted this way.In the next moment, a figure appeared in the direction Isaac was staring. It was none other than the elder, who looked youthf
His great-grandfather was calling Isaac "young friend", so what would that make him call Isaac?"Vrtra, what do you think?" Zulmir turned to Vrtra beside him.She gave a cold snort, flicking her sleeve and leaving the area.Clearly, she still held a deep grudge against Isaac."My young friend, don’t take it to heart. That’s just how she is. She tends to look down on humans.""But now, you’ve proven yourself and shown her that humans can be just as powerful," Zulmir said, smiling at Isaac."Thank you for the praise, sir," Isaac replied, expressing his gratitude once again.At this moment, the Cyclopean King approached, clearly delighted that his daughter had become friends with Isaac.The Cyclopean King also exchanged pleasantries with Isaac, and Isaac responded to each one.Afterward, a celebration banquet was held. Apart from the few older and more reclusive figures, everyone, including Zulmir, attended.Being the youngest of the ten ancient seniors, Zulmir was in high spiri
It was as if Drakoth's own hands were squeezing his throat.Despite his drunken state, Isaac frowned slightly when he heard that the ancestral elders did something against the natural order."Going against the natural order—and making you look like a shy woman too embarrassed to tell me? What exactly are you trying to say? Did your ancestors go and kill an entire nation or something?" Isaac joked, laughing.But unexpectedly, Drakoth’s expression darkened upon hearing his jest.Noticing the shift in Drakoth's face, Isaac’s smile faded, and he took on a more serious look.Was it possible? Did Drakoth's ancestors really wipe out a whole country? And if that were true, how was Isaac supposed to respond to that?Drakoth let out a long sigh, then continued, "My Second Patriarch has lived for 10,000 years, and the Third Patriarch for 8,000. Their lifespans have far exceeded their natural limits. So, after re-emerging, in order to extend their lives even further, they took certain actio
"It's probably…" Drakoth attempted to console Isaac, but his own words felt increasingly hollow, his voice growing softer with each sentence.Isaac let out a cold, bitter laugh.Underneath it all, he found this all too twisted. To prolong one’s life by taking others’—perhaps a life or two might be understandable, but 200 thousand?And those 200 thousand were the loyal citizens of his own friend.Isaac couldn't possibly tolerate such atrocity.“If they’ve lived long enough and can’t go on, then they should accept death. What kind of man is he to take the lives of my innocent soldiers?” Isaac roared, his voice fierce and unwavering.He had no concern for the fact that he was on their territory, nor did the strength of these elders deter him in the slightest. This was his character.He just can't bear this.“Isaac, how can you dare to say such things?” Drakoth was stunned, thinking he must have misheard. Did Isaac truly dare to say that here, on Blood Dragon Island?“What would s
Without saying more, Drakoth turned and headed toward the main hall.Everyone else exchanged confused glances."What’s going on?""My father seems troubled.""Where’s Isaac? He’s nowhere to be seen.""Maybe he just went to relieve himself. Let’s continue!"They all chatted on, laughing and drinking together.Meanwhile, in the main hall, Drakoth waited nervously for an audience with the Great Patriarch.In the hidden chamber, the Second and Third Patriarch listened to him without a hint of reaction, as if nothing in the world could stir any emotion within them. Vrtra, however, was furious, slamming the table in a fit of rage."What? What did that kid say? If they can’t live any longer, they should just die?""How dare he say those things to the patriarchs! That brat must have a death wish. I’ll kill him myself right now and present his head to the patriarchs!"She seethed, standing abruptly as though ready to storm out of the room."Wait! Please calm down!" Zulmir held her b
Zulmir approached, patting Vrtra’s back and forcing a conciliatory smile, trying to defuse the tension."Fool! Stop pretending to be righteous. If he's not with us, he's against us.""Siding with an outsider like this will one day bring disaster upon our clan!" Vrtra sneered, flicking his hand off in irritation.She glanced at the two patriarchs seated above, but even with her frustration, she didn’t dare defy them. With a huff, she stormed out, still fuming."I will go calm her down. Apologies for disturbing you both," Zulmir said with a courteous smile and then departed, followed by Drakoth.Elsewhere, Isaac had no idea that a life-and-death debate about him had just concluded on Blood Dragon Island. He was only aware of the turmoil in his heart as he grappled with how to approach the people on Blood Dragon Island moving forward.Would he continue treating them as allies or regard them as enemies?There was a path before him where he could simply pretend to forget what had hap
Seeing this white strand of fur, Isaac instantly thought of Esther. He truly believed that it must have been she who had saved him from that predicament just moments before.Forty miles outside the capital of the Seraphym Dynasty, a military camp bustled with anxious energy. Jonah, the general in command, stared at the sand map before him, his face furrowed with worry as his lieutenants and deputies looked on tensely."Three months have gone by, and we still haven’t managed to breach the capital. If Sir Isaac arrives, it will be too embarrassing to even face him!" Jonah slammed his hand on the table, his frustration clear."General, Her Majesty said that if we cannot take it down ourselves, we should wait for Sir Isaac’s arrival. The Seraphym Dynasty will eventually fall into our hands," suggested Lieutenant General Levi Thorne, who was well-decorated and served as Jonah’s strongest aide."Wait for Sir Isaac? I can’t stomach that shame.""We are supposed to be able to handle a fra
A massive, intimidating elephant led the demon beast army, with a mocking glint in its fierce eyes. With a slight stomp of its foot, the ground trembled, injuring and killing countless human soldiers.Two winged demon beasts that resembled bats, each wielding sharp tridents, flew toward Jonah. He quickly realized, to his shock, that even as the commanding general, he could not hold his ground against these two demon beasts. The strength of this demon beast army was overwhelming."Sir, we must retreat! We can always rebuild our forces if we survive. The Eldorado said we should wait for Sir Isaac’s arrival!" Levi urged.As the commanding general, Jonah had to keep a calm head in this desperate situation."Sir, stay calm. Do not let emotions cloud your judgment. We need to pull back and salvage what remains," shouted another lieutenant general, Abram Forge.After a moment’s hesitation, Jonah gave the order, "Retreat! Fall back quickly!"What followed was a brutal chase. The remainin
"The extra 10 years of torment is your punishment for deceiving me, I don't like being lied to. Just hang in there for another 10 years." The Darklord clicked his tongue as mocked judgment, then turned to Isaac and delivered his remarks with a mix of reassurance and sarcasm.His words had an intent to "win over" but he kept reassuring about certain matters, obviously not wanting Isaac to develop too much of a rebellious mindset.He knew that what truly mattered to Isaac was Mixandrei, but there was no way for him to do anything to her in a short time.He needed to ensure that Isaac no longer had any reason to refuse to submit.......One year…Two years…Nine years…Ten years…Another decade passed.Including the previous decade, it was two decades.Isaac had stayed in that world for two decades.His physical body was still lying in a coffin yard, while his mind had been in this virtual world for two decades!The Darklord stood up and looked down at Isaac.Isaac was loo
"Great! Excellent!" The Darklord was overjoyed and sprang to his feet.Clearly, he valued Isaac in high regard and believed that he would benefit greatly from having such loyal and reliable help.Moreover, the secrets Isaac held were valuable.With all of that, becoming immortal wasn't difficult. Even after achieving immortality, he could dominate the Immortal Realm!"I will now merge with your spirit and plant my seed within you. Do not resist and accept it."The Darklord was eager to make Isaac completely his servant.Reaching out with a large hand, attempting to touch Isaac."Alright…" Isaac spoke wearily.He looked as if he didn't want to resist at all and just wanted to put an end to the pain as quickly as possible.At that moment, the Darklord hadn't relieved the suffering. The intention was to ensure that Isaac to not change his mind. The relentless and boundless agony served as a constant reminder.......The Darklord had already reached Isaac, and soon, Isaac would
"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
