The roof of the ancestral hall started to shake. Parts of the ceiling broke into pieces and rained down in huge flat sheets.A painful expression appeared on Harry's face. He quickly covered his ears once he heard Isaac's heart-shattering roar. It felt as if a rock had just smashed into his heart.Next to him, Mitchell also turned dark and solemn. Apparently, things were not well down there.Isaac's panting, angry voice sounded from below, "Apothecary, bring me a piece of white cloth."Harry immediately turned and ran outside. A while later, he returned with a large roll of white cloth and threw it into the pit."Pull me up," Isaac said again.As Harry gathered his strength to pull Isaac up, he realized Isaac felt a lot heavier than before. After a while, Isaac's hand could be seen emerging from the pit as he grabbed onto the floor and hoisted himself up into the air.There was a body wrapped in cloth resting on his left shoulder. He was holding tightly onto it. After landing on the gr
Just like Isaac said, after Lucas contacted Black Phoenix, they found out that everyone in the Mortodor family had been relocated to another mansion about ten miles away.Aside from Lupinus, who had been tasked to watch the door, the rest of them had hurried over to the second mansion to capture and bring all the remaining Mortodors to the ancestral hall. Before they'd even entered the hall, a handful of Mortodors protested and were immediately killed by Lightning. The other Mortodors were then scared shitless.Roy and Saul couldn't believe their eyes as they watched their family members being herded into the ancestral hall like a pack of rats. A total of 37 family members entered the hall, male and female, young and old. Nearly all of them were here."Roy? What happened to you? What's the matter? You have to save us!" A woman in a dress threw herself to the ground and started to cry. When the rest of the Mortodors saw Roy and Saul, they immediately started screaming at them for help.
Harry just couldn't find it in himself to harm the child next to him. However, Lucas swooped over, caught hold of both kids, and threw them into the pit.The screams from the pit only intensified. The remaining 20-something survivors had lost all hope. A handful of them ran screaming toward the exit but were instantly killed by Lightning.Today marked the day the Mortodors' worst nightmare came true.When Roy saw that both his sons had been thrown into the pit, he could no longer stand it. He dragged himself over to Isaac and hugged his legs, groveling as he cried for mercy, "Isaac, please, stop this! I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please stop killing my family! You can kill me. You can take all of my assets around the world, and I'll willingly give them to you! Just please, spare my family! They're innocent! Isaac!"All of the Mortodors' assets were worth trillions of dollars. Everything the family owned spanned multiple sectors and businesses across the world. Had Isaac been anyone el
Lucas pushed two more Mortodor family members into the pit. By now, there had to be at least 20 people becoming prey to the venomous creatures at the bottom of the pit. The screams and shouts that rang out were painful and chilling.When Elijah saw this, he narrowed his eyes into slits and roared, "You asked for it!"He held up two fingers in front of his chest, and a burst of deep red smoke immediately blew out from behind him. A bright red dagger appeared in his right hand. He then flew toward Isaac like a bolt of lightning, aiming the tip of the dagger at Isaac's heart.The five nimjas also used their powers as they hurled themselves at Isaac. Immediately, the ancestral hall started shaking again. It felt as if the walls would cave in in no time."Trifocal Fist!" Seeing Elijah and the others coming for him, Isaac quickly used his ultimate power against them. Three monstrous blasts of red spiritual energy appeared and flowed from his arms across his chest before focusing on his fist.
No matter how loudly the Mortodors cried or screamed for help, Elijah left without looking back."Tell Oscar Exeter to wait for me like a good little boy," Isaac said with an evil sneer as he suddenly hammered his fist into a wooden chair next to him, which immediately blew into smithereens. Elijah was already out of the door when he suddenly felt a deep shiver from within. He quickly hurried out of the place after that."Drakon, why did you let him go?" Lucas asked anxiously.Isaac just shook his head silently. If he didn't let Elijah go, then it would imply Isaac was declaring war against all of Rippan. And this was not the right time to do so.Isaac then approached the body wrapped in white cloth and picked it up before heading out. "Burn down the hall and make sure nobody gets out alive."By the time he said it, he was already out of the door. More loud cries and screams were heard from behind.Moments later, Lupinus and everyone else had come out. The ancestral hall was then engu
Lupinus and the others watched as Isaac kneeled down next to the biggest cherry blossom tree and dug a grave with his hands. Then, he gently placed Emily into the grave and buried her there, covering her with dirt until it was a flat surface again. He didn't set up a tombstone for her because he didn't want her body to be disturbed.The place where he buried her was a very scenic area that overlooked the whole city under the mountains, just in front of the first line of cherry blossom trees.Isaac lit up a cigarette and took a long drag as he looked at the silver crescent pendant in his hand. He had retrieved it from Emily before burying her in the ground. This was all he had left to mourn her with."Elliot, call Black Phoenix. I want the exact locations of all the Exeter family members," Isaac said coldly, pocketing the pendant in his chest pocket and puffing out a cloud of smoke. Elliot immediately took his phone out and made the call.A while later, Elliot hung up and said, "Oscar's
"What are you screaming for? Are you out of your mind?" Oscar yelled, immediately jumping to his feet.Whoosh!A dagger shot out from the door and went straight through the air stewardess' stomach before falling to the ground. Then, Isaac walked out slowly from the cockpit and smirked at Oscar. "Sorry, but the flight today's been canceled."Isaac was brimming with spiritual energy, and it filled the entire aircraft. Isaac then grabbed another dagger and pounced on Oscar.By the time Isaac returned to the hotel, it was already dawn. He sat in the lobby and started smoking. Within the next half hour, Lupinus, Elliot, and the rest of his team gradually trickled in from outside.As of now, all 29 members of the Exeter family had been killed.Isaac and his men were still asleep when the Jolkyo Law Enforcement Unit released a statement that caused the whole elite group in the country to erupt into chaos.Last night at midnight, the Mortodors and the Exeters had been destroyed. Not a single f
The Royal Pavilion was located on the northmost side of Jolkyo. It was a temple with the most beautiful view in the city, and it was not open to the public because the four princes often gathered there to discuss issues about the country.Duncan quickly got ready and left for the Royal Pavilion in his private car. He'd never even seen the student of the Nimja Lord before, so he was curious as to how Elijah managed to invite him over.He followed the designated staff into the temple and went upstairs to the meeting room on the third floor. Walking into the room, he saw three people sitting around a table. The first one was Elijah, and there was an elder with gray hair sitting next to him.To the opposite of them sat a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. When he saw their gloomy expressions, Duncan chuckled and sat down next to the guy with the scarred face, saying, "I see that Prince Desmond and Prince Solomon are already here. Didn't you say that Nimja Lord's apprentice was here a
"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
