Upon hearing those words, the thousands of cultivators surrounding the area erupted into an uproar. They had been immersed in Remus' innermost devil, still pondering what it could be.Even if they were somewhat disdainful of Remus' ability to reach this stage, they subconsciously believed that his innermost devil, capable of shattering the barrier, should count as a pass.But now, it was considered a failure?Remus himself was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly became resigned. If it was considered a failure, then so be it. Although he still had to find Sera and his fiancée named Wilda Hewitt, there must be other ways to enter the Sacred Lands. Garfield spoke up again, his voice booming, "The specific reason is that there was a problem with the barrier, causing it to rupture. And precisely because of this issue, Windsor and the others' innermost demons deviated slightly. It was this small deviation that prevented them from passing. "Therefore, Windsor and the others have p
The members of the Freestyle Organization also roared, "You brat, kneel and admit your mistake, and wait for your death. Even if the Esteemed Masters spare you, the Freestyle Organization will not let you off!"It was the time to flatter Zaiden and the other Masters.The faces of Zaiden and the other three turned green with rage. Even in the sacred lands, they were figures of renown. Yet, they were being insulted by a mere late-stage Golden Stage cultivator. They were seething with anger.Zaiden retorted furiously, "You impudent brat, giving you a reason was already a great mercy on our part. Since you refuse to appreciate it, let me ask you, do you not have any idea why you've made it this far? Huh?" Elena also said coldly, "The first stage was due to your luck, the second was thanks to Windsor. Without Windsor, you would have already failed. With your abilities, you dare talk about fairness? If it were fair, you would have been eliminated in the first round!"Xavier added qui
Seeing no one speak, Remus casually pinched the Oblivion Grass, crushing it in his hand. He smirked, "Since you can't find an excuse, I'll give you one. The Oblivion Grass has been crushed and no longer exists now. It's as if I never obtained it. Therefore, you can announce that I failed the assessment!"Zaiden and the other three felt as if they had been slapped hard across the face again.What does it mean to deeply destroy a man's mental barrier?That was it.He had already obtained it, and there was no reason for him to have to do it again to begin with. Yet, he deliberately exposed the excuse and told them they could use that excuse against him. If they really used it, they would truly be left without any dignity.He truly deserved to die! Zaiden said with a stiff upper lip and puffed with anger, "Don't worry, as people of the sacred land, we disdain to resort to such petty tactics. You've passed, and we won't look for any excuses. However, this was only the first stage.
Even if Don and Xavier weren't able to catch up to him, or if he had been the first to reach the mountain peak, that wouldn't matter. Holding it momentarily was one thing, but sustaining that hold for a full hour was an entirely different challenge."Start!" Zaiden ordered.Don and Xavier released their spirit energy abruptly, revealing their trump cards. Don conjured the Enigmatic Sanctum, and Xavier executed the Infinite Shatter.Xavier roared, "You brat, run now, and keep running! I want to see where you can run to! You dared to insult me publicly, demanding that I kneel. Now, I will repay you double!" The sanctum pressed down above Remus' head.The ground rose, and the sky sank. Everyone's eyes widened. They were using lethal moves right off the bat on Remus, clearly intending to kill him.Zaiden and the other three nodded secretly, feeling pleased within. It seemed they weren't foolish after all, seeing as they knew what to do.However, Remus didn't even attempt to resis
The crowd was utterly shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief.The situation before them was not a matter of belief but a matter of cognition.Remus was just a late Golden Stage cultivator, yet he was able to overpower two prodigies at the Nascent Soul Stage without them being able to fight back. Looking through the entire history of cultivation, there had only been a few cases of such instances."How... how is this possible?" Glinda spoke in shock. Despite her insufficient cultivation level, she was confident she could slay all Golden Stage cultivators and even dare to fight against those in the early Nascent Soul Stage. Her restraint for Remus Larson had stemmed from pity, not respect. Yet, it appeared that had she also joined the stage when she was asked to, she would likely be receiving slaps alongside the others.Remus Larson was too strong.Windsor's mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His voice was trembling as he sai
Remus decided to give up even though he had a clear advantage. What a decisive personality!Remus gave a cold laugh and said, "Fine, since you insist on having a third stage, and you're not afraid of death, how can I forcibly stop you? Set up the barrier, let's start the assessment!"Everyone was stunned into silence. Halbert, Garfield, Zaiden, Elena, and the entire crowd stood dumbfounded.Everything said just now, all the easing of the atmosphere, blurted out under pressure.They had forgotten that Remus' innermost devil could shatter barriers and even cause backlash onto oneself. They had just realized, if they forced him to face his innermost devil again, the ones who might get hurt the most were not him, but themselves.The four were nearly bursting with frustration, unsure of what to do. They had never felt so humiliated in their lives."Are you not going to proceed with the assessment anymore?" Remus said with a smirk, "Since there's no assessment, then I'll just be th
Everyone was shocked at Xavier's words.He wasn't Remus Larson?The top prodigies of True Life were all known, even those like Don who were deeply hidden by the Violet Sanctum were heard of. But Remus Larson had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which was unrealistic. So, who was he?Garfield stopped instinctively. Remus also looked over, his whole body tensing as he never expected Xavier to intervene at such a crucial moment.If his identity as Remus Cosby was exposed, there was no way he would be able to leave.Not to mention the incident in the Violet Sanctum, where he allowed all the cultivators to suffer for the sake of saving Selena. Just from then, Garfield and the others absolutely wouldn't allow a martial artist to exist.Quietly gathering his spirit energy, he prepared to make a move. But before he could do so, Xavier suddenly blurted out."He is... Remus Calsberg!" He said, gritting his teeth, "Master Calsberg, you didn't expect this, did you? Even though we onl
Glinda had another reason for wanting to acknowledge Remus."Could it be that he has truly fallen for Louis Sky and Gemma, and no longer wants to be with me?" Glinda thought as she watched Remus' retreating figure with bitterness.She wasn't the only one watching. Elena, Halbert, Garfield, and Zaiden were also looking on.Although he was Remus Calsberg, the Master of the Tanjen Organization, they couldn't accept it. Remus had slapped their faces, how could they be at peace without seeking revenge? Yet, they couldn't act with so many witnesses.Meanwhile, all the cultivators present were staring at the four representatives, their eyes devoid of the previous reverence, instead filled with a bit of disdain. Blind to their own folly, they rejected the foremost talent of True Life, troubling him and forcibly driving Master Calsberg away.It was ridiculous.Zaiden announced with unwavering conviction, "The assessment has concluded. Return to the sacred land with your people."Just l
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
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
