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
"Isaac, I’ll have Coraline send half her forces to reinforce you," Skylar said worriedly."No need. Right now, our kingdom's forces are already spread thin, so we shouldn’t divide them any further. Besides, for me, going alone is enough," Isaac replied with a smile, declining her offer.In a flash, he tore open space and vanished.Skylar’s eyes widened, surprised and somewhat alarmed. She didn’t know what level Isaac’s power had reached, but for him to say that he alone was enough was astounding. After all, this was an incredibly strong demon beast army that had just crushed the 300 thousand troops under Jonah.Isaac alone—how could he face such a force?"Prepare my horse. I’ll personally go to the north of the Black Desert to oversee the battle!" she commanded abruptly.In the past, it would have taken Sir Isaac at least ten days, if not half a month, to reach the south of the Black Desert, as he had previously relied solely on flight. Now, with continuous spatial tears allowing
Everyone on the battlefield was shocked.Isaac's speed was unbelievable, as if he had teleported hundreds of meters in an instant.How was this even possible?"Die," he said softly, then drove his right foot down with sudden force.To his surprise, the giant elephant's powerful body actually withstood the blow."Hmm? Not bad," Isaac smirked, amused.He had only used 20 percent of his strength, assuming it would be enough to end the elephant immediately.Although the giant elephant was shaken by the attack, its face pale, its eyes remained fierce."Isaac, I know you're strong as a martial artist at the Divine Sovereign Phase. But we demon souls and demonic spirits do not fear you in the least. Guys, attack him together!" the giant elephant roared.At once, all the demon beasts prepared to surround Isaac."Let’s take him down first, then deal with the human soldiers!""If some human soldiers escape, it’s no big deal. Once we kill Isaac, His Majesty will reward us handsomely!"
"Since that is the case, all of these demon beasts shall die," Isaac’s eyes filled with vengeful fury.In the next moment, he vanished from his spot. Below, the demon beasts felt a chill up their spines, but before they could react, Isaac was already upon them, slicing their heads from their shoulders.Isaac had entered a frenzy.One after another, the demon beasts fell to his blade.Faced with a presence that was not only swift but appeared like a ghost at every turn, even the boldest of demon beasts lost all courage. One after another, they turned to flee, scattering in all directions.This previously formidable army of demon beasts was in a full rout in less than a few minutes under Isaac’s onslaught."General Voss, pursue them. Leave none alive," Isaac ordered coldly.As he continued, a savage thrill began to course through him, a bloodthirsty satisfaction spreading from his sixth power core, where black spiritual energy surged and grew increasingly wild, pulsating through h
"What should we do, General Voss? I feel a little uneasy.""Will Sir Isaac be alright? Could he lose control?""Do you think Sir Isaac will turn bad?"The soldiers whispered anxiously among themselves, their voices laced with worry and uncertainty.After some time had passed, Isaac felt an even deeper sense of satisfaction, as though a long-suppressed desire had finally been unleashed.The black spiritual energy in his sixth power core expanded significantly, nearly filling it, pushing the remaining traces of blood-red demonic spiritual energy into the corners. Now, that blood-red demonic spiritual energy was barely a small fragment within him, crushed between the golden and black spiritual energies, leaving it almost no room."That feels good!" Isaac raised his head and let out a loud, euphoric shout, reveling in the feeling.He recognized that he had finally advanced to the early stage of the Dark Dragon Cultivation Manual. Before, he had avoided cultivating it fully, only explo
"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
