"Finally, I've reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer of the Strong Blood Realm." With a sigh, Ethan strode towards the haphazardly strewn corpses.These bodies surely held treasures, and Ethan hadn't forgotten the words of the elder in red: one needed at least five hundred tokens to gain entry to Twilight Mountain."Whoosh""Whoosh"Ethan's movements were swift, his black figure flickering among the corpses. At each stop, he'd snatch several tokens into the bundle slung across his back.According to ancient texts, there existed a ring called the Interspatial Ring. Though a mere ring, it could store countless items within its boundless interior. However, forging such a ring was extremely difficult, and Ethan could neither afford nor had ever seen one.Moments later, Ethan's bundle was filled to the brim. He'd silently counted a total of 1,517 tokens.These tokens were coveted by everyone in this space. Outside, silver was the most valuable currency, but here, it held no sway.Ethan g
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Everywhere people were talking about Ethan, the notorious Blade Demon, a murderous madman. Nearly every young man who stepped off the stage had heard of the Blade Demon's infamy, especially those who had joined Anthony in the ambush against Ethan and Maxwell. They were all on edge, fearing that Ethan would come for them at any moment.Ethan, however, paid no heed to the gossip around him. He continued his aimless search for those who had participated in the ambush against him and Maxwell. Having sworn to kill them all, he was determined to keep his promise, both for the sake of his oat
At that moment—10010's expression shifted abruptly from surprise to murderous intent. He swiftly grabbed the sword beside him and thrust it towards Ethan's neck!"Huh?" Ethan turned around, but there was no sign of Jasmine. As he was puzzled, he felt a gust of wind behind him. Fortunately, Ethan had slightly moved away earlier, giving him a chance to react instinctively.
Tears welled up in Ethan's eyes as he read, uncontrollably streaming down and dampening the letter."You tell me not to hate you, but how can I not?" Ethan's voice caught in his throat. A gentle breeze ruffled his shoulder-length hair, and in that moment, he appeared not as the Blade Demon, but as a helpless child.Five years ago, before Ethan had turned ten, he might have claimed not to hate, but resentment would still linger in his
The Seven-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass was rumored to possess miraculous regenerative powers, however, once it had fully matured, heavenly tribulations would descend as if the heavens themselves opposed such an unnatural creature. Even the Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass was an extremely rare existence, practically equivalent to half a life! If revealed to the outside world, it would be enough to provoke contention among many major forces. "South King, let's hurry over, such an unnatural medicinal herb, if we're late it'll be gone!" Beside the burly youth, a youngster advised. Because of the distance, Ethan could only see a silhouette. "South King?" Ethan blinked, "It is said that South King Tank is mighty enough to uproot mountains and overpower the world, today I finally witness that the rumors are not false..."After half a year in this bizarre space, Ethan had also come to understand a lot of information. The so-called kings were elected by these tens of thousands of youths after sta
Almost instantly as the Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass matured, everyone including Ethan awoke with a start from their meditation. Countless fiery gazes converged upon the colorful Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass."Whoosh!" "Whoosh!""Amitabha, treasures nurtured by nature can only be possessed by those of noble virtue. This monk has been disrespectful." Ananda, the closest to the Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass, suddenly rose up like a golden eagle spreading its wings and darting downward. He immediately rushed toward the Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass below! It is said that the monks of Buddha's Land in the Western Realms have attained enlightenment and transcended the four elements. However, Ananda's face was unusually thick, showing no courtesy at all. "Dead monk, shameless! Get lost!!" Tank was furious and hurried to catch up. He directly grabbed a stick as thick as a thigh, made of unknown material, and swung it at the back of Ananda's head!"Hoo~~" The gust roared, and Tank's stick r
"Hmm? It seems this little bird can no longer behave well." Ethan watched the changes closely, and when he saw the situation, his eyes flashed coldly. Immediately, he stomped his foot and leaped out of two concave cracks in the stone like a spring, moving so fast that it made people's tongue numb."Haha! The treasures of nature can only be owned by individuals of noble virtues. This king will take the lead!" Anthony laughed loudly and reached out to pick the Six-Leaf Orchid Heart Grass in front of him, which was within easy reach.In dozens of feet, Anthony's speed unfolded and reached it in a few breaths, while Tank was far behind and could only stare anxiously. Although Ananda was faster than Tank, he was still one step slower. At this time, he was still seventy or eighty feet away from Anthony."Hehe, do you want to take the Orchid Heart Grass? Did you ask me?" An indifferent voice sounded, and Anthony looked up to see his face change instantly.“Whoosh!”Although Ethan had not arr
“Big brother, whatever you say, we'll listen to you.” The other two said in unison.“Follow me!” The big brother picked up a huge boulder the size of a millstone with one hand and walked towards a higher place on the hillside. His two brothers followed closely behind him.

Juan Baker flipped his right hand and a pitch-black spear appeared.Ethan's gaze had been fixed on Juan Baker and his son the entire time. The instant Juan moved, Ethan realized his intent."You despicable old codger! Don't you dare!" Ethan was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his skin. If Juan Baker had targeted Ethan himself, he wouldn't have batted an eyelid no matter how powerful his opponent was. After all, Ethan's mental resilience was beyond ordinary and with the ancient Azure Dragon's restorative abilities, conventional attacks posed no threat.But for Juan Baker to make a move against Lily was going too far! And it just so happened to be Ethan's Achilles heel!Juan Baker gave a cold smile. Without hesitation, he whipped his right hand down to hurl the spear!At the same time, Ethan sped towards Lily as swiftly as he could.Originally two hundred yards separated Ethan and Lily, but in this life-or-death moment, he seemed even faster than usual. Incredibly, he managed to rus
"Ethan, do you really think you can bully the Baker family so easily?" Juan Baker's face was ashen, utterly humiliated in front of all the major families of Mistwood County. Having his future son-in-law killed and his guest official beheaded right in front of everyone, how could the Baker family continue to hold their standing in Mistwood County if they did not regain some face?Ethan's expression was impassive as his gaze swept over the core members of the Baker family present in the grand hall. Of them all, only four gave him slight pause.Including Juan Baker and his third son Ralph Baker, there were just five Bone Sacrifice practitioners. And now, only four remained after Ethan's handiwork. Such a force was inferior even compared to the Martin family of Hampshire County. Ethan had no patience for idle chatter. He immediately unleashed the Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, his original form and his clone charging at Juan Baker in unison.Speed was paramount. Ethan was currently only a
In the hall, all the "dignitaries" like Anna Patterson and Allan Long watched Ethan and Maxwell with odd expressions, clearly sensing their malicious intent. Yet no one had expected someone to actually crash the Baker family's joyous occasion.For rivals like Anna Patterson, nothing would be better than ruining the Baker family's big day, or even causing their total downfall. So for the moment, all was silent as they waited to see what would unfold.An eerie quiet. Joseph closed his eyes regretfully. He knew of the feelings between his daughter and Ethan, and rather approved of the boy. But his arrival was just too late, and the timing was wrong...After over seven years, Ethan's appearance had changed somewhat, but Charles still recognized him and kept signaling urgently for Ethan to leave quickly.Ethan ignored him completely, back ramrod straight, eyes empty of emotion as he scanned the Baker crowd.Beside him, Maxwell loomed tall and bulky, standing out in the crowd like a crane
"You...you..." Joseph was nearing eighty. Such provocation was too much for him and his face flushed crimson as he gasped for breath."Father!" Charles hurriedly supported Joseph, gently patting his back to help him calm down. "Grandfather!" Lily's hair was disheveled, tears instantly filling her eyes....The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious date, at least for the millions of ordinary folk in Mistwood County.Everyone knew this was the joyous wedding day of the Baker family's third young master. Though he already had two wives and concubines, how eminent was the Baker family? The undisputed overlord of Mistwood County, even lording over nearby counties--their might was undisputed.The Baker family was worthy of being called the overlords of Mistwood County. Their extravagant welcoming convoy stretched over fifteen miles, handing out large festive cash gifts to all they met--not just any gifts either, but ten taels of silver per person!Many eyed the money cove
"Two celestial beings..." Lily's lovely face paled and she instinctively drew closer to the ice sculpture.The loud commotion also woke the just-risen Charles, Joseph and the rest. Soon--The main hall doors opened and the Joseph family streamed out, from Charles and Joseph down to the servants, staring curiously at the Baker entourage and the glittering array of treasures before them.Many had never seen such wealth in their lives! Just the gold ingots alone filled three huge chests. That was not even counting the obviously expensive jewelry and other gifts.Filling chests with gold ingots--how rich did one have to be?Likely enough...to buy half the streets in Stone Town!Joseph's brows twitched slightly. "Young Master Baker, what is the meaning of this?"It was normal to offer betrothal gifts, but gifts of such extravagance were no ordinary matter. Despite his advanced years, Joseph's eyesight remained sharp. He knew well the sheer quantity of gold, silver and jewels laid out befor
Lily gazed at the ice sculpture, lost in thought, barely registering her father's words.Charles stepped forward and sat down cross-legged beside his daughter. "Speaking of that Ethan boy, he really is pitiable. Losing his parents early, and his only grandfather murdered too. Seven years ago he finally avenged his grandfather by killing Caleb, but then got taken away by some mysterious youth. No word since--such a shame."He sighed regretfully. The image of that teenager chopping wood behind their hill seven or eight years ago was still vivid in his mind. Charles had liked Ethan quite a bit. At the time, many talented local youths had been vying for Lily's affection, yet he had favored Ethan, even hoping to match him with his daughter. But unexpectedly..."Father, enough." Lily turned her head slightly, revealing a face that could bring kingdoms to ruin. But looking closely, her beautiful eyes held a deep weariness.Seven years--how many such spans are granted in a mortal lifetime? Se
An hour later. The rain grew heavier, coming down in sheets. The dark sky heralded an early nightfall in this gloomy downpour. The Inn of No Worries had long since closed, and the main street was now sparsely populated, with only a few swaying lanterns barely clinging to their poles in the wind and rain.Under the torrential rain's dilution, the traces of the Fountain of Time's poison had completely faded away. As Ethan strode through the ankle-deep water on the street, it splashed out around his steps.A hundred or so yards across from the Inn of No Worries, a bulky figure stood under the eaves of a dilapidated house, hands hanging loosely at his sides. Drenched by the raging storm, he seemed unfazed, standing motionless as the rainwater streamed down his face through gaps in the broken roof tiles."Maxwell? Your hands...they're healed?" From afar, Ethan immediately recognized Maxwell and grinned, hurriedly splashing through the standing water toward him.Maxwell's lips trembled and
The assassin in purple robes stepped forward to flip over Ethan's "corpse", intending to seize Ethan's Azure Myst.But at that moment--Suddenly! Ethan's eyes shot open as the Azure Dragon shard materialized in his hand, stabbing into the assassin's left and right thighs in rapid succession!"Pfft!""Pfft!"Blood gushed wildly as holes appeared in both of the assassin's legs. His expression changed dramatically as he was jolted awake. Ethan pounced forward, gripping the assassin's thighs tightly, stabbing the Azure Dragon shard again and again into his legs! Ethan knew clearly that a Beyond Heaven core assassin of this caliber likely had some kind of spiritual armor for protection. A direct stab to the heart might not take him down in one blow. In an instant, the assassin's legs were pierced four or five times. The extreme sharpness of the Azure Dragon shard rendered his legs basically useless. The assassin's face was sinisterly dark. He did indeed have spiritual armor--a mid-gra
"I must make him come down," Ethan's icy gaze swept over the water pooling on the ground. The rainwater mixed with a drop of Fountain of Time. Although constantly being washed and diluted by the rain, it had not yet fully dispersed and was still extremely toxic!Because of the Fountain of Time, Ethan's movable space was very limited right now. While the purple-robe could float freely in the void, under such circumstances this battle was unwinnable!Ethan flung an initial stage spear towards the purple-robe in the void. He still had tens of thousands of such spears in reserve in his Azure Myst. For offensive means, as a peak Meridian Training expert Ethan could only do this much against Bone Sacrifice Realm and above enemies.Weakened over thousands of yards of space, the spear's power had greatly diminished. The purple-robe casually waved his hand, deflecting the spear aside. It could not harm him whatsoever.Ethan flipped his hand, taking out a night pot emanating a faint azure glow
