The crowd was shocked as they witnessed Remus charging toward Rufus.They couldn't believe that Remus would dare to attack Rufus, and they all assumed he had lost his sanity.Scarlett's status might have been significant, but she was only a junior in both the Schneider family and the Dragon Protector Clan.However, Rufus' status was clearly different. He was the Deputy Master of the Schneider family, representing the Schneiders in the Dragon Protector Clan, and could be considered the second most important figure within the Schneiders.Seeing Remus charge at him, Rufus felt sheer terror course through him. Their clash at the Monarch Palace had made him realize his absolute incapacity to defend against Remus. Without anyone intervening, his death was inevitable."Master, save me," he pleaded, channeling all his energy to defend himself.Before anyone could speak, Remus' fist collided with his defense, unleashing a burst of energy that sent the juniors tumbling away.Rufus was hit
Ana and Eva turned their gazes toward Remus simultaneously.Philbert sighed, never expecting things to turn out this way as he had previously assumed Remus would be able to leave.The one most excited by Garth's words was Rufus.He suddenly stopped dodging, turned around, and faced Remus who was closely pursuing him from behind. His voice erupted, "Bastard, let's settle this once and for all! I'll shatter half your body to dust and feed the other half to the fish!"His energy suddenly surged, enveloping his entire body as he charged toward Remus with the might of a Supreme Martial Sovereign.They collided in mid-air, neither one evading as they crashed into each other head-on.The turbulent disturbance in the air formed a hazy ring that frantically expanded outward from the two at its center.The two clashed in mid-air, exchanging nearly 100 punches in just a few short seconds.Remus once again spurted a mouthful of blood from the residual shockwaves. His expression darkened
Rufus continued to wield the dagger on Remus' right arm, cutting back and forth. In the gaze of everyone, pieces of flesh fell, thin and delicate, deliberately done to torment him.Remus remained sprawled on the ground, his complexion as white as paper. If not for the deliberate control of his steady breathing, they might think he had already lost consciousness.Despite having his flesh be sliced into several pieces, he continued to bear the pain without making a sound."Let's see how long you can hold on! Bastard, you better endure it all the way. I'm going to turn you into a skeleton with only tendons!" Rufus continued to cut away at Remus' flesh. His actions quickened. In a brief ten seconds, the bones were visible on his right arm, and he could even discern the recently fractured bones from the battle with Philip."Mr. Schneider!"Finally, Ana couldn't resist anymore, biting down on her lips and saying, "If you're going to kill him, just go ahead, give him a swift end!"Eva
Rufus' terrified expression suddenly transformed into one with killing intent on his face, and he prepared to strike again.However, Remus was quicker, plunging the dagger forcefully.Rufus froze again, and the stark reality of life slipping away gripped him with chilling clarity. He never foresaw Remus employing the spirit energy.He began to recall the recent scene, realizing that Remus had been absorbing spirit energy all this while. But Rufus couldn't comprehend how his spirit energy could pierce through his body as Remus was just in the Training Stage.He staggered backward three steps, swiftly turning around to call for help. But as he opened his mouth, all that sprayed out was fresh blood.Observing his condition, the crowd finally grasped what had happened. They were collectively shocked, and not a single person, not even Garth, had anticipated this."Mr. Schneider!" The Schneider family members quickly charged forward.Remus remained sprawled on the ground, his demeanor
The bird's cry was immensely loud, echoing throughout the entire Island of the Monarch.Its sound was unlike any other bird, exceedingly strange.Everyone turned toward the source of the sound, even the members of the Schneider family came to a sudden halt.The fire pit in the courtyard of the Schneider family exploded, sending mud scattering through the air. Following that, a colossal bird soared into the sky. With majestic wingbeats, it soared high, its entire form engulfed in a fiery red blaze.Its face glowed radiantly yellow, crowned with a feathered crest on its head, and tail wings gracefully trailing behind. As it moved through the air, its entire body shimmered with a faint red glow. Its eyes gleamed with a sharp and vibrant intensity as if it were a being not of this world.Everyone stared in astonishment, not knowing what it was."Is ... is this the legendary phoenix?" Philbert was the first to regain his composure, uttering in astonishment.This world was teeming wit
Garth let out a deep sigh, his heart filled with sorrow and regret.A mere exertion of a bit more effort, and Ruby would have been within his grasp. The anticipation of riding atop it for an unrestrained and carefree adventure danced vividly in his imagination.Even if Ruby were regarded as a personal collection, it would still be the only phoenix in the world.A crimson figure suddenly pierced through the dark clouds, plunging downward.Remus had already mounted Ruby's back, drifting ethereally, akin to a celestial being.He looked down and asked, "Are you both willing to leave with me?"His gaze fixed on Ana and Eva within the crowd, after all, they were his fiancées.Ana and Eva both shuddered simultaneously.They lifted their heads, gazing upward at Remus, eyes suddenly filled with boundless confusion.Could it be that Remus wanted them to leave the Island of the Monarch with him and become his wives?However, they had only known him for a few days. Although there was a m
The Dragon Protector Clan swiftly released an announcement to the public."Remus Cosby killed Rufus Schneider and betrayed the Dragon Protector Clan. Consequently, any ties he has with the Dragon Protector Clan has been severed, and the call was sounded for all to pursue and bring him to justice!"As soon as this announcement came out, a wave of astonishment swept across the globe.It was only a short while ago that many discovered Remus' name through his slaying of Otis. However, in their hearts, they had long believed that Remus was a member of the Dragon Protector Clan.They had expected the long awaited event to be a fierce clash between the two most powerful factions in the world, never imagining that things would escalate to such an extent.Whispers filled the air as people discussed, all the while observing the unfolding changes in silence.…Meanwhile, within a mysterious ancient castle in Amelicon, an elderly foreigner, attired in a tailcoat, stood by the window.In th
Remus' injuries had gradually healed, leaving only the flesh on his arm in need of recovery.Fortunately, the island brimmed with spirit energy, and the supplements contained a profound essence. Given such progression, his new flesh should recover by tomorrow.He began casting Curses at the island's four corners, using the surrounding seawater as a natural barrier and channeling spirit energy into the chamber.It took him a whole day's effort before finally setting up the Curses.If one looked from outside the Curses, all that could be seen was an expanse of boundless sea, without a hint of Ironpeak Island. Even if a ship passed by accidentally, it would uncontrollably veer away, skirting around the periphery of Ironpeak Island.Even though the curses had been completed, Remus still felt the protection wasn't enough.After all, their adversaries were the Dragon Protector Clan and the Rose family, the two most dominant forces in the world. There might even be experts in Curses amo
Upon hearing these words, all the deities felt a tremor in their hearts.100 chapels and a million followers may not sound like much, but the Upper Realms had existed for thousands of years. Similarly, people in the Mortal Realm had been making offerings to the immortals for just as long.In simple terms, the immortals' image had long been established in the mortals' minds, and the power derived from their devotion had become quite fixed. It was very difficult to make further progress on a daily basis.At the moment, Francis himself had promised them such a great reward. It was a great opportunity to make further progress. Moreover, all they needed to do was look for Remus. If they did encounter him, they could just run.Suddenly, a Golden Immortal stepped forward. "Taking down that scoundrel is the biggest mission in the Upper Realms. Despite the extremely high risk, as an immortal, I am duty-bound to face any danger. Celestial Sovereign, I am willing to go."The immortals scoffe
"Silence!" Francis suddenly spoke.In a flash, the silence was deafening in silence. Everyone even stood in an orderly manner. They were bold enough to argue with each other, but in front of Francis, they wouldn't dare to act out of line.Francis, with an air of authority, asked, "What is the current situation in the Mortal Realm?"A Golden Immortal standing in front stepped forward and said, "The Mortal Realm is restless again. The president, Kaiser Geer, has become even more arrogant after seeing Remus, boldly ordering the demolition of all chapels within Darsia."All offerings are prohibited, and only one person is allowed to be worshipped in Darsia, and that person is Remus!"Hearing this, the immortals responded with scoffs and sounds of disdain. How dare Kaiser give such orders? He was courting death!Francis asked, "Is there any news on Remus at the moment?"Another Golden Immortal stepped forward and respectfully said, "Based on the information we've received, that scoun
Indeed, the Three Realms would no doubt fall into chaos.…The environment in the Upper Realms was the opposite of the Underworld's. In the Underworld, the sky was dim and hazy, while in the Upper Realms, it was eternal daylight.Above, colorful clouds drifted by, and cranes and auspicious beasts emerged from within the clouds occasionally, creating a rare scene of peace and grandeur.Remus had visited this place once, and in the end, he barely managed to escape by hiding under the ruins. Currently, the ruins had vanished, replaced by four towering pillars of quartz marble inscribed with ancient writings.Below these pillars stand four Valor Immortals, clad in golden armor and wielding magical weapons. They were imposing figures, tall and dignified, guarding the entrance with a commanding presence.Beyond the pillars was a long arch bridge, also made of quartz marble, spanning a great distance. The bridge's slope was gentle, and the railings were intricately carved and exceptiona
Wilda stared blankly at the spot where Remus disappeared, unable to look away. In truth, among everyone affected by Remus' death, she was the most hurt.When Remus was around, there was nothing but hatred and indifference. It wasn't until realizing that seeing him again was impossible that the memories of the past began to surface.She reminisced about their first meeting at the assessment site, the confrontations at Monington, their unexpected recognition of each other at Boundless Island, and more.When reflecting on everything, it became clear that without realizing it, he had come to hold a significant place in Wilda's heart.When she noticed the gazes on her, she said sorrowfully, "He isn't human, so he can't stay in the Mortal Realm for long."The other women were immediately agitated."You're talking nonsense. Why wouldn't Remus be human?""Wilda, can you clarify what you mean?""Why isn't Remus considered human? Then what is he?"Wilda slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken
The remaining nine women's expressions immediately fell, and they raised their heads, looking up at Remus with great reluctance. Their eyes were full of resistance, as if they were silently pleading for him to not leave.Seeing them falling silent, the whole of Darsia followed suit.Everyone lifted their heads to gaze at Remus, their eyes unblinking. It was easy to see that their expressions were filled with reluctance, clearly because they didn't want Remus to leave.Remus was taken aback by Wilda's question. Honestly speaking, he didn't know how he came to be in the Mortal Realm.Originally trapped within a specter, he suddenly heard a barrage of curses, lamentations, and voices filled with resentment. The voices repeatedly mentioned Darsia and the Upper Realms.Suddenly, he felt his mind overwhelmed with anger, as if it was about to burst out of him. Then, he unexpectedly saw a beam of light ahead. He followed this light out, and there he was in the Mortal Realm. He even wonder
Remus just glanced at the immortals indifferently. Immediately, his energy appeared around them, becoming solid and surrounding them.At first, they could still struggle and try to move upward, but as the energy grew denser, their movements gradually lessened. In the end, they were all suspended in mid-air, struggling against the energy that surrounded them."No! Please don't...""I was wrong! Please don't kill me! I'm begging you!""Give me one more chance! I swear I'll never return to the Mortal Realm!"They pleaded with heart-wrenching desperation, but Remus remained indifferent. With a mere gesture, the immortals streaked across Darsia's night sky like meteors toward Remus.…The ghost kings looked shocked. This scene seemed both familiar and foreign.It was familiar because the last Monarch long ago also possessed such abilities, capable of creating an inescapable prison with just a thought.The unfamiliarity was because the original Monarch had a physical body, allowing
"Spare us! We're just following orders. Please show mercy!""I was wrong! I'm sorry!""No, please…The immortals were pleading desperately, their voices filled with overwhelming fear. After all, Remus not only had the capability but also the guts to attack them.Even Kurt fell at his hands, so why would he have any difficulty getting rid of them? If he took action, everything they had, even their lives, would disappear. They were truly frightened.Remus said indifferently, "How could I have forgotten about you back then and let you live until now? It's all my fault."Upon hearing this, Wayne was scared out of his wits. He bowed his head. "I was wrong! Please, Monarch of Mortals, spare my life. It was all under the Celestial Sovereign's orders. I'm just a small figure carrying out commands. Please forgive me!""Are you a Golden Immortal?" Remus asked again.Being a heavenly official was his position, while Golden Immortal was a stage. However, the distinction between them wasn't
All the citizens continued questioning until they got affirmations. Then, waves of emotions swept through the people. They were both crying and smiling at the same time.…The five ghost kings broke into discussions in the Underworld, too."It's… It's Remus!""That's impossible!""How did he return to the Mortal Realm and end up like this?"They were shaken. While others were unsure whether Remus was dead, they knew all too well that Remus should be with Candace right now, in the Underworld.Even if he were to return to the Mortal Realm, he would have likely needed to use Soul Return, which involved entering the body of someone who had just died. He definitely wouldn't be in the state he was in now. It made no sense!They all turned to look at Roman. Perhaps only he could provide answers to all their questions.Roman noticed their gaze and reluctantly looked away, then chuckled bitterly while shaking his head. "It truly is karma. No one can change it."These words left the gh
That voice was like an ancient chant, carrying a mysterious energy. It was as if it held the power of the universe, echoing in the night sky for a long time.Hearing this voice, the other 14 immortals looked over as well.Wayne's laughter paused abruptly, and he stood there frozen. Even though he didn't turn around, a look of fear had already appeared in his eyes, growing more intense by the second.This voice reminded him of someone—someone who absolutely shouldn't be present in the Mortal Realm.After about three seconds, Wayne cautiously turned and saw a pair of feet—very large ones—measuring several yards.Looking further up, he noticed a pair of long legs dressed in simple cloth, each leg stretching about 100 feet in height. Above them was the upper body, also measuring 110 feet.Above that was the head with a clear face. He had stern and sharply defined features, as if sculpted with a chisel. The eyes, in particular, seemed to possess the ability to see through time, except
