Meanwhile, in the Shadow Gate.Remus gathered his strength and struck at the black iron chains that were imprisoning the old monster. His fierce punch unexpectedly caused a slight deformation in the iron chains.The chain was forged from black iron and not even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could deform it. But Remus made a dent by merely throwing a punch, devoid of any divine energy."What ..." The old monster's hand trembled as he touched the iron chain, and his lips quivered.He exclaimed in disbelief, "You've only been learning the Imperial Form for less than three days, yet you've managed to deform the black iron? How .. could this be?"The Imperial Form was a form of ancient martial arts and also a secret technique of the Cosbys, exclusively taught to the main lineage or their direct heirs.Remus had sweat glistening on his forehead. He hadn't anticipated that a stroke of luck would arise from misfortune. Not only did he encounter his renowned grandfather, but also inheri
After thinking for a moment, Remus lunged toward the black iron chain with his fist. The thick chain surprisingly shattered into pieces and a distinct fist shadow appeared."Killing intent where every move determines life or death!"The old monster exclaimed in shock, "Grasping the intent to kill in an instant, what kind of person has surfaced from the Cosbys?"He was at a loss to describe Remus' talent.Even if he was part of the lineage of immortals, he should have just unlocked the path of immortality in which he gained a deeper understanding of harnessing divine energy. Yet, based on what he did a moment ago, his talent appeared to be even beyond that.This was true enlightenment.Remus chuckled, "How many years did my father take?"The old monster replied with difficulty, "Five years!"Even after replying to Remus, his disbelief lingered. The pride of the Dragon Protector Clan, his own son, took five years to achieve this stage. But his grandson only took a second.Remus
Before Chris could finish his sentence, the Estrarian boxer launched a punch at him.The punch appeared casual, but it twisted the air, creating an immensely terrifying atmosphere within the curse.Chris stood there blankly, not countering or even saying anything more. Suddenly, his entire body stiffened as he fell backward, lying in a pool of blood.The Estrarian boxer had a scornful look, using broken Darsian to say, "What a trash!"The thunderous cheers and clamor from outside suddenly fell silent. Everyone was left staring in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened before their eyes.That was the Dragon Team! The most mysterious institution in Darsia!Although Chris held the title of a mere leader, in Darsia, such a position entailed overseeing enigmatic incidents in a specific region. He actually lost in a way that it was unsure if he was possibly killed by just one move.However, Chris wasn't the only one to have suffered such a fate.Darsia had established
At the mere mention of Marten Dragon's name, tens of thousands of people instantly identified the challenger.Every eye had widened, emanating hopeful glimmers, for this had been the leader of the most mysterious institution in Darsia, rumored to have been among the top three in Darsia's martial ranking."Captain Dragon!" There was a raised arm and a loud cheer, swiftly followed by echoing voices.Following that, a wave of cheers crashed one after another, tens of thousands of citizens cheering in unison. Their voices echoed through the skies.Marten didn't lose focus amidst the cheers. He remained fully alert, fixing his gaze on Otis atop the pavilion.He waited for a full dozen seconds, but Otis still hadn't responded.Marten said, "Please enlighten me!"His energy suddenly surged, encompassing his entire body. As a divine realm grandmaster, he was able to break the sound barrier as he swiftly surged toward Otis.Otis clenched his fist and suddenly blasted toward Marten.Ami
The mysterious figure's subordinate swiftly approached with a phone.He took the call and promptly stated, "Bring Remus here, I'll dispatch a fighter jet to fetch him!"At that moment, Remus was the only one who could face them. If Darsia was to be utterly defeated in its homeland, how would they stand proud in the future?This event will be recorded in the "Darsia's History Book" as an eternal shame.Over the phone, Ambrose paused briefly before responding, "The Shadow Gate is a prison with no return. Once someone enters, even immortals find it hard to save them. Remus has already been imprisoned, there's no way for him to come out!"The person gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly find a way, we must figure out a way to get him out, no matter what. These 17 nations' warriors are abnormal in their means, even our Darsian warriors can't resist them at all. "Right now, we can only rely on Remus to help us confront them. If he doesn't return, Darsia will be utterly humiliated!"Af
"Go on. Just as you had the courage to descend, exert your strength to ascend. When you've reached a point where you can't proceed further, I'll guide you on what comes next," said the old monster.Perceiving an undertone in his words, Remus asked with surprise, "What about you? We should leave together!"The old monster raised his hand, touching Remus' face once again. Tears glistened in his pure white eyes.He chuckled, "Only one person can leave at a time. You go first. When you reach the Dragon Protector Clan and find a martial master to guide you, go on and achieve the Supreme Martial Imperial, then come back to rescue me. Grandpa will be waiting for you here! Go on!"Upon hearing about parting ways, Remus felt a strong reluctance within. Though their time together was short, the bond of family was unbreakable.The old monster gave him a pat, laughing as he scolded, "Hurry up and scram, you stinky brat! You even dare to curse me and say you'll pee on me. If you don't leave so
Remus roared with all his might, but it was already too late.A deafening boom erupted from the abyss, unleashing an almost cataclysmic force charging upward. The powerful explosion surged into the cliff, erupting upward, instantly filling the entire space with a rush of freezing air. The earth trembled and the entire Violet Sanctum shook.Earl was frozen in fear, his eyes wide with disbelief."Grandpa!" Remus yelled at the top of his lungs, anguish in his voice.The old monster had detonated himself. There was simply no way out of the Shadow Gate. The only option was to sacrifice himself by initiating a detonation to create an immense force that could forcefully thrust Remus out of the Shadow Gate.He used his own life to let Remus escape.Remus' despairing scream still echoed in the air when he sensed an incoming surge of terrifying power. He swiftly emanated his energy, wrapping his body in protection.This force propelled his body, breaking through the Shadow Gate and reachi
Ambrose brought all 33 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Violet Sanctum to the Shadow Gate, most of them were in the early stages of Nascent Soul.Even in True Life, that lineup was downright terrifying. It was akin to gaining 33 extra Deputy Masters in any of the other five major organizations.Ambrose was about to use spirit energy to open the door when it suddenly swung open, revealing a person with a frosty expression walking out."Earl? What are you doing here? Hurry, leave, get out of here!" Ambrose saw it was Earl who walked out and urged him to leave immediately.He was well aware that Earl was only at the peak of the Golden Stage, any further approach might lead him to freeze to death."Deputy Earl Holmes, please leave now!" The Nascent Souls experts around were also anxious, expressing their concern urgently.Earl offered no response, silently turning and moving outside the curse. The 33 Nascent Soul experts didn't dwell on it and began discussing the sudden occur
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
